Second Marriage and Pregnancy: CEO?

Chapter 257 Accepting the Entrustment

"Lu Xingyi, don't be too busy to be discouraged. I will go back to the office to find out for you. Although Zhong Qing is famous, she is mainly famous abroad. The laws at home and abroad are different. Besides, here we are There are a lot of lawyers who are older than her and have better abilities than her, so she may not be really invincible." I comforted Lu Xingyi.

Lu Xingyi grinned, "Of course there are people who are better than Zhong Qing, but standing behind Zhong Qing is the Longteng Office. They paid a lot of money to dig Zhong Qing back. This is the first commission Zhong Qing received. In order to create momentum for Zhong Qing, Long Teng deliberately chose to let Zhong Qing take the initiative to help the victim, and then joined forces with some media to create public opinion, portraying Zhong Qing as a positive image of helping the weak and upholding justice, so if ordinary lawyers want to accept it, then What he is facing is not just Zhong Qing, but all the reckless blows of the entire Longteng, even Xingyuan, he will not bet on the future of the firm for a case."

I opened my mouth in surprise, "It's just a case. Why did Long Teng help Zhong Qing so much? It's just for Zhong Qing to make a profit. Is it really worth it to bear the price of offending the Lu family?"

"It's just that I acted too sharp that day. Longteng once approached me to discuss financing for listing, but I was not interested in the internal structure of the old bureaucratic system of Longteng, so I rejected Longteng. Today, my younger sister has such a Of course, they are happy to take the opportunity to step on me, and what the people who eat melons like to see most is that people like me who are rich and unkind are unlucky?" Lu Xingyi said lightly.

I couldn't help biting my lip, "So Long Teng is helping Zhong Qing with such a big fanfare, and he will definitely spare no effort to smear Lu Xialan in order to increase Zhong Qing's chances of winning."

"Besides, I'm very worried about Xia Lan's mood. She used to have a nervous breakdown and was in a bad mood. She often used alcohol to drown her sorrows. When she couldn't sleep, she had to take sleeping pills to fall asleep. Now that Long Teng wants to deal with her, he will definitely take her once. I'm really afraid that she won't be able to withstand those blows." Lu Xingyi said, tears flashed in his eyes.

When Pei Li was engaged to Lu Xialan, she got up and chased me. It was already in the headlines once. She and Pei Li had so many gossips, but now Pei Li still chooses to remarry me. Someone will definitely speculate that she is a stealer. Mi's third person, and before Lu Xialan swung a knife and stabbed me and Xuanxuan, Pei Li stepped forward to block the knife. This incident also made the news. If Zhong Qing finds out, she will definitely take the opportunity to smear Lu Xialan again.

"Don't worry, the matter is not clear yet, Lu Xialan killed the man in self-defense, evidence will definitely be found." I said hastily.

Although I had a lot of unhappiness with Lu Xialan before, I still have some confidence in Lu Xialan's character.

Jiang Xiaobei pushed open the door and walked in, seeing me here, said in surprise, "You're back."

I nodded, "After hearing the news, Pei Li and I hurried back. I'll come here first to ask about the situation, and then I'll ask the seniors how they will do it when we meet at the office."

"I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. When Xia Lan's accident happened before, I contacted Wen Ran first. Wen Ran only found out that Long Teng had made a big move this time after inquiring. Many lawyers knew that Long Teng was going to take Lu Xialan this time. I had the surgery, so I consciously avoided it. Wen Ran contacted several barristers for me, but they were all worried that I would not be able to get along with Long Teng after fighting against Long Teng, so they all declined." Jiang Xiaobei said furiously, " Could it be that they are only afraid of offending Long Teng, not us?"

"The distance is like a mountain. If I offend you, I won't do your business. If I offend Long Teng, I'm afraid I can't even be a lawyer. Of course they can see which is more important." I said.

"But, is it true that we can't find a lawyer to help Xia Lan?" Jiang Xiaobei's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he held Lu Xingyi's hand distressedly, "No, we can pay a high price and pay a heavy price. There must be a brave man under the reward, and there will always be someone for money..."

"No, since Long Teng has made a big move this time, how can he be sure that he won't send someone to deal with us again? Even if a lawyer takes over, if Long Teng bribed him, then Xia Lan really has no chance to stand up this time. " Lu Xingyi shook his head and frowned and said, "I'm a little confused now, and I don't know who to trust."

Jiang Xiaobei looked up at me and said, "Aren't you a lawyer? Yanyan, come and be Xia Lan's defense lawyer."

"Me?" I was thinking about how to fight Zhong Qing before, but I didn't expect Jiang Xiaobei to be more anxious than me, and actually wanted to drive the duck to the shelves.

I couldn't help retreating, and quickly waved my hands and said, "I can't do it. I'm still a novice lawyer. I've been dealing with others before, and I've never handled a case independently. I'm worried that I'll make things worse by then. bad."

"No matter how bad it is, it won't be worse than the current situation." Lu Xingyi said quickly, "Qin Yan, I believe you can help Xia Lan. We have been friends for so many years, and you will never die Bar."

"Yeah, Yanyan, you are a lawyer now, and Xingyi and I will do our best to help you collect evidence, just come and face Zhong Qing on our behalf." Jiang Xiaobei begged, "Just help Xia Lan Well, Long Teng is clearly moving towards the stars this time, we are really worried about other lawyers."

"This matter is too important, I have to think about it carefully." I murmured, "It's not that I don't want to help, if I have the ability to deal with Zhong Qing, I will agree without hesitation, after all, it depends on you In terms of the face of the two of you, I won't do anything to save her, but I know very well in my heart that I don't have the ability to fight her, and if I agree to it out of loyalty, it will only hurt you and Lu Xialan."

"Then think about it these few days. I know that money is meaningless to you, but if you can help me, I will do whatever you ask me in this life." Lu Xingyi said firmly.

He has always been one-of-a-kind, and he made such a solemn promise for Lu Xialan, which made me feel even more pressured.

When I got back to the office, I didn't bother to say hello to my colleagues, so I knocked on the door of Lawyer Jin's office.

"Senior, have you heard about the case of Miss Lu Xialan's accidental murder?" I asked.

Lawyer Jin was making tea, and when I mentioned it, he nodded and said, "Long Teng will make a big move this time."

"Lu Xingyi, the president of the Lu Corporation, offered a sky-high fee. If a lawyer accepts it..."

"That's just bad intentions." Lawyer Jin interrupted me directly, "I can't believe it."

I was a little astonished, "Could it be that someone would really cheat Lu's for this money?"

Lawyer Jin brought a cup of tea and put it in front of me, looked at me and said earnestly: "I thought you didn't care about this matter when you were abroad, but since you asked, I don't hesitate to tell you, Long Teng wants to They want to use Zhong Qing to gain popularity, and Lu Xialan's sensitive identity can trigger a hot spot in public opinion. They will never let go of this piece of fat. Anyone who fights with them is tantamount to playing with a mantis' arms. Which lawyer is willing to bet on it? Destroy your own future to win this case that even if you win, you will be scolded to death by public opinion."

As he said that, he opened the news interface on his phone to show me, and the headlines pushed on it were shocking.

"A shocking eyeball, the rich young lady murdered in public at the bar..."

"The wealthy daughter is not guilty of murder: Can it be treated differently under the law..."

"In order to clear the charge, the victim was actually slandered as a gangster, and the victim's family has collapsed..."

These pushes are enough to weave a vicious case of bullying that is filled with righteous indignation.

Long Teng has already started to move, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Lawyer Jin's analysis is quite correct. If there is a lawyer under pressure to defend Lu Xialan at this time, it is likely that it is for Lu Xingyi's money, and he has no ability.

"Could it be that no one stood up to help a group of Lu Xialan for the sake of justice? This matter has nothing to do with her." I sighed, "Because Zhong Qing is behind Long Teng, so others have to avoid it, but we Being a lawyer is for the justice in your heart, not for weighing the pros and cons.”

"Lawyers are human too. They have to eat, work, and pay off the mortgage." Lawyer Jin looked at me and said, "Do you have a good relationship with that Lu Xialan? If you can talk to her, I advise her to be softer at that time, the other party has the advantage in public opinion, and if she plays the temper of the young lady again, it will be bad."

"Maybe, I can try." I looked at him and said courageously, "Other lawyers need to take care of Zhong Qing and Long Teng, but I don't. Don't care."

Lawyer Jin looked at me in surprise, "Are you here to fight Zhong Qing?"

"I'm also a lawyer. I have a lawyer's certificate. I can accept the entrustment." I nodded. It is clear that there is no need for further investigation, and the trial is imminent, only I can try my best."

"If you fail, not only Lu Xialan will end badly, but your own reputation may also be ruined. Is it really worth it?" Lawyer Jin asked solemnly.

When Lu Xingyi asked me to defend Lu Xialan, I thought about the result of my failure.

Moreover, Zhong Qing is a very capable lawyer who had already gained a reputation abroad. Now that she is ready to go back to China, she must have a big plan. Long Teng is willing to show her sincerity to train her. This time, She will never let it go.

But for the sake of my friends, I will indeed choose to do so, even if it means destroying my own future.
