Captain Lin walked out to take a look.
Standing at the entrance were no less than a dozen lawyers dressed in formal suits.
They stood there with briefcases in hand, their backs straight.
On their lapels...
...was the gold-stamped logo of Junhe Law Firm.
Passersby...
...couldn't help but stare at this group of elite lawyers.
Captain Lin was also somewhat surprised.
He couldn't possibly be unaware of the great reputation of Junhe Law Firm.
It was just that... the case hadn't even been defined yet, and they had already dispatched over ten lawyers. Wasn't this a bit too grand?
"Hello, Captain Lin. I am Shi Lei, a First-tier Lawyer from Junhe Law Firm."
The middle-aged man standing in the center walked out with a smile. He was tall and wore a pair of gold-rimmed, rimless glasses.
He had a tall stature with no signs of being out of shape.
His deep features, refined by the years, actually appeared more charming.
He was elegant yet poised.
Captain Lin frowned slightly and shook hands with Shi Lei.
If he were handling a case... lawyers would definitely rank high among the people he least wanted to see.
"Captain Lin, I have come here as Zhou Xing's legal advisor to resolve some of his legal concerns. I believe you will handle the matter impartially, but as a lawyer, I must raise reasonable doubts on behalf of my client. This is also my duty, so I hope you understand."
Shi Lei spoke with such perfection that Captain Lin couldn't find any fault with it.
He could only nod.
"Then, sorry to trouble you, Captain Lin, but I would like to see my client now."
"He's in the lounge. Follow me."
Captain Lin didn't refuse and led Shi Lei toward the lounge.
This was their legal right.
Compared to dealing with ordinary lawyers, Captain Lin didn't feel any resistance when interacting with Shi Lei.
From beginning to end, Shi Lei's attitude was extremely polite.
He didn't use legal statutes in a domineering or overbearing manner.
Captain Lin could only marvel in his heart.
As expected of a First-tier Lawyer from Junhe Law Firm.
To become a top-tier lawyer...
...simply being well-versed in the law was far from enough.
Inside the lounge.
A dozen lawyers suddenly poured in.
They didn't choose to sit down, but instead stood behind Zhou Xing.
"Hello, Young Master Zhou. I am Shi Lei, the head of Junhe Law Firm's Shanghai branch. I have been commissioned by President Zhang to serve as your legal advisor."
Shi Lei took the initiative to greet Zhou Xing, his attitude appearing very respectful.
"Sorry for the trouble."
Zhou Xing nodded to Shi Lei.
"You're welcome. This is all part of our job."
Shi Lei smiled and said, "President Zhang is a co-founder of our Junhe Law Firm, and since you are President Zhang's son, you are the Young Master of our entire Junhe. I have the necessity and obligation to ensure you are treated fairly by the law."
Captain Lin's pupils couldn't help but constrict upon hearing this.
This Zhou Xing was actually the son of the founder of Junhe Law Firm.
No wonder... he had such confidence to have a conflict with Li Guoxing.
It seemed it wasn't that Zhou Xing was young and reckless, but rather that he wasn't afraid of Li Guoxing at all.
He had actually been thinking just now about whether he could reduce some of the punishment for Zhou Xing. Now it seemed he didn't need to do that at all; it was completely redundant.
Under the gaze of the group of lawyers, Captain Lin also felt the pressure rise sharply. He immediately coughed and said to Zhou Xing solemnly, "Let's continue our previous topic. Please describe the sequence of events."
"Sorry, Captain Lin, I'll have to interrupt here."
Shi Lei, standing behind Zhou Xing, suddenly stepped forward: "As I understand it, this case involves an accident between my client and another party at the Tianma Racetrack. May I ask where the other party is now?"
"He has injuries on him and is currently at the hospital being treated. It will take some time before he can come over,"
Captain Lin explained.
"Since the other party is not present, my client can completely refuse this request of yours."
Shi Lei still maintained his smile: "Before the case is fully defined and closed, the questions you ask might cause distress to my client and lead to inaccurate descriptions. This would also cause trouble for your subsequent investigation."
"We took photos at the scene, and the video recordings are being retrieved."
Captain Lin frowned: "Based on the situation at the scene, Zhou Xing had a conflict with the other party. The other party's vehicle suffered a severe impact, and the individual was injured. Dangerous driving is definitely something he won't escape. If there was intentionality involved, it will only be more serious. I am currently trying to understand the situation. If you choose not to cooperate, it will only make your client's situation more difficult."
"Captain Lin, as a public official, handling a case requires evidence."
Shi Lei said unhurriedly: "Evidence is the condition for classification. What you're saying is merely speculation. Moreover... according to my client's description, he was driving normally at the Tianma Racetrack when he was subjected to malicious cut-offs by the other party."
"My client was maliciously cut off and panicked for a moment, accidentally mistaking the accelerator for the brake, which caused the vehicles to collide."
"According to the traffic laws, my client's behavior does not constitute dangerous driving. On the contrary, it is the other party who showed tendencies of dangerous driving."
Shi Lei paused, and finally said: "If you are so arbitrary, Captain Lin, acting and handling the case entirely based on your own judgment, then I have every reason to question your impartiality as a public official. I will choose to file a lawsuit against this Police Station."
Captain Lin was suddenly speechless.
Shi Lei's tone was very calm, but his meaning was extremely sharp. He moved step by step, leaving no opportunity for rebuttal.
"Captain Lin, another group of people has arrived outside, saying they want to see Zhou Xing."
The young police officer knocked on the door again.
Captain Lin looked up at Shi Lei, then at Zhou Xing, and then waved his hand somewhat helplessly, saying, "Let them in."
A moment later.
A crisp voice came from outside the door.
"Zhou Xing, I've already told my grandfather. You don't need to..."
The next moment.
Su Xi's figure appeared at the door.
She saw the dozen or so lawyers standing in the lounge, and her voice came to an abrupt halt.
She blinked her eyes.
She appeared a bit at a loss.
After Zhou Xing was taken away, Su Xi had told her grandfather the whole story exactly as it happened.
Her grandfather clearly stated that he would choose to handle this matter personally.
To resolve the conflict between the two youngsters.
After receiving this news, Su Xi finally felt at ease. She then rushed over here without stopping, wanting to see Zhou Xing and tell him the good news.
So he wouldn't worry.
As a result, she saw this scene as soon as she entered.
"This is..."
Su Xi looked at Zhou Xing.
"This is the legal advisor commissioned by my mother."
Zhou Xing explained.
Su Xi immediately nodded. It seemed her judgment wasn't wrong at all.
Zhou Xing's family indeed didn't have the ability to handle this matter.
Otherwise, why would they only send lawyers over?
Lawyers might seem intimidating.
But... if Li Guoxing really got ruthless, these people wouldn't be able to play any role at all.
Su Xi immediately sat down next to Zhou Xing.
Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort to Zhou Xing...
...the young officer knocked on the door again.
But this time...
...he didn't choose to speak in front of everyone. Instead, he ran straight to Captain Lin's side and whispered into his ear.
"What!"
Captain Lin's eyes widened. "Where's the Director?"
"The Director has already gone out to welcome them."
"Holy crap!"
Captain Lin hurriedly stood up and walked outside quickly. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a deep look at Zhou Xing.
His gaze was filled with shock.
Just where did this monster Zhou Xing come from!
