Chapter 487: Chapter 483: Young Master Lin, Director Zhu, Lawyer Sun, Turning the Tables?

Jincheng Law Firm, Criminal Department.

Zhang Wei, Luo Xiaobu, and Xia Qianyue were sitting on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting in Zhang Wei’s private office.

"Radish, I’m not trying to meddle, but you’re not exactly young anymore," Luo Xiaobu said. "Why keep pining over these female live streamers? Why don’t you find a down-to-earth girl to marry?"

Although Xia Qianyue acted like a young girl when facing Zhang Wei, she took on the role of an "elder" when dealing with Luo Xiaobu.

"You both have found someone, tortoises and mung beans, all matched up. It’s not like me!"

Luo Xiaobu looked at Xia Qianyue and Zhang Wei with a helpless expression, but then spoke with serious conviction, "But this time, I am serious!"

Xia Qianyue’s pretty face blushed slightly, while Zhang Wei wore a strange expression.

"We’ve found someone, tortoises, mung beans?"

"Why does this sentence sound off when you say it?"

"And you say you’re serious?"

"Have you ever not been serious when you fall for a female live streamer?"

"If you weren’t serious, would you spend tens of thousands of yuan on gifts?"

Zhang Wei could only respond with a scoff to Luo Xiaobu’s so-called seriousness.

"Radish, even though you’re a local from Dongfang Capital and your family’s circumstances are decent, if you keep spending money like this, are you going to squander what your parents have worked hard to save for you on tipping streamers?"

"Zhang Wei, I know it’s not great spending so much money, but this time, I can tell that I have a chance with Bobo!"

"You like her?" Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, I like her!" Luo Xiaobu nodded earnestly.

Bullshit, is that what you call liking? You’re just lusting after her body, lusting after her big Gs!

Zhang Wei was too embarrassed to state the obvious and simply sipped his tea with composure.

But just as he set down his teacup, he noticed some commotion outside the Criminal Department.

"Zhang Wei, come out here and face your death!"

With a roar, a familiar figure pushed open the door of the Criminal Department and strode toward his office angrily.

"Lin Yufeng?"

Seeing the visitor, Zhang Wei was stunned.

What was this loser doing looking for him?

Had he recently offended the project department or Lin Yufeng?

It didn’t seem so.

So what was going on with this guy, looking like I’d stolen his girl?

Lin Yufeng had free access in the law firm, and he didn’t bother with pleasantries as he made a beeline for Zhang Wei’s office.

Zhang Wei could tell something was up and stepped out to meet him.

In an instant, the two collided at the doorway of the office.

"Zhang Wei!"

"Young Master Lin, what kind of wind blew you over from the project department?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I heard you recently took on a case from a live streaming company?"

"Live streaming company?"

Zhang Wei eyed Lin Yufeng, and with a change in tone, he laughed and asked, "You heard? From whom did you hear that?"

"Hmph, I’m just asking if you took the case!"

"I did!" Zhang Wei nodded.

"Then I’m telling you, you need to drop that case immediately and send that person back!"

"Go back, back where?"

"To the live streaming company!"

"So you’re saying, Young Master Lin, you know someone from that live streaming company?"

Lin Yufeng’s gaze narrowed slightly, and his brows knit together with displeasure.

"Are you questioning me?"

"Not bad, Young Master Lin. If your ears aren’t deaf, you should be able to understand, right?"

"You..."

Lin Yufeng almost couldn’t hold back and nearly resorted to violence.

But seeing that many newcomers from the Criminal Department were watching, including his sister Lin Yumeng, he managed to restrain himself.

"Let’s talk in your office!"

"What, we can’t talk here?" Zhang Wei showed no intention of moving.

Lin Yufeng said, "I really can’t hold back anymore, even if we’re in the law firm, I’m about to hit someone."

He was barely suppressing the rage in his heart, secretly criticizing Zhang Wei for being clueless.

I am the big young master of Jincheng Law Firm, the big boss’s own son, and you, just a criminal department’s ace lawyer, dare to get on my nerves?

Stealing my client before was bad enough, now you want to create trouble for me?

Zhang Wei didn’t care whether Lin Yufeng was going to hit someone or not, he circled around Lin Yufeng and started analyzing with a smile.

"Young Master Lin, let me get this straight, ha, you came to me because of that internet celebrity company, right? So that means you and this case are parties with an interest, huh?"

"Since you’re an interested party, yet you ask me to withdraw the case proactively, that suggests you know someone at the internet celebrity company."

"With your status, Young Master Lin, it’s impossible for you to know the company’s lackeys, so you’re likely acquainted with Director Zhu, or maybe the company has several bosses and you happen to know one of them?"

"Young Master Lin, not to put too fine a point on it, but with your dissolute conduct, getting to know someone from the internet celebrity company obviously suggests an ’academic exchange’ with those female internet celebrities. In other words, does the company have a sexual bribery relationship with you?"

"They ask me to withdraw the case through you, can it be interpreted as them using sexual bribery to obstruct judicial justice and achieve the goal of cancelling the case against them?"

Zhang Wei’s analysis coupled with his rhetorical questions made Lin Yufeng’s face subtly change.

Good job, Zhang Wei, with just a few words, you’ve managed to analyze his motives.

"Young Master Lin, your expression seems to tell me that my guess is about right."

Zhang Wei also caught the change in Lin Yufeng’s facial expression and started teasing him again.

"Young Master Lin, no offense, but you’re not getting any younger. Why mess with those young internet celebrities? Why not find a nice girl to marry."

As soon as he said this, the colleagues from the criminal department all laughed.

"Hehehe..." Lin Yumeng laughed out loud, causing a commotion where she stood.

Lin Yufeng turned around and glared fiercely, causing his own sister to shrink back.

Meanwhile, Xia Qianyue and Luo Xiaobu behind Zhang Wei exchanged glances.

The words that Zhang Wei used to persuade someone... why did they sound somewhat familiar?

"Zhang Wei, do you know what you’re doing? If you provoke me, be careful not to get by in Jincheng Law Firm!"

Seeing that "dialogue" was ineffective, Lin Yufeng switched to direct threats.

"Young Master Lin, it looks like you still don’t get it..."

But Zhang Wei just laughed, a laugh full of helplessness.

He had not expected that Lin Jincheng, that old man with a lifetime of prestige, would have an unreliable son, and that this son would bring him an even more unreliable grandson.

"Young Master Lin, let me be blunt with you, no one can interfere with my cases, not you, not your dad, not even your grandfather!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, his aura expanded. Although not as shocking as Xia Qianyue’s, a sharp, blade-like momentum pressed close to Lin Yufeng’s heart.

Whoosh!

Like an arrow piercing the heart, Lin Yufeng clutched his chest, his face suddenly turning extremely pale.

Facing Zhang Wei, his legs involuntarily stumbled backward several steps, his gaze lowered, his eyes even dare not meet the person before him.

After all, Lin Yufeng was just a silver spoon, sheltered by the Lin Family, but essentially a young master who had never faced real adversity — how could he be a match for Zhang Wei, who was accustomed to life and death and had dealt with extremely vicious criminals.

The two were levels apart.

Just the disparity in their presence was more than Lin Yufeng could handle at the moment.

"Young Master Lin, even if the King of Heaven came, my cases would be unaffected. If you were rational, you would know what to do!"

Zhang Wei waved his hand, gesturing like he was seeing a guest out.

Lin Yufeng was infuriated by this attitude and nearly lost control, but recalling his recent humiliation, he had to hold back.

"Zhang Wei, just you wait!"

Lin Yufeng huffed coldly and turned to leave.

If he didn’t leave now, he would lose all his dignity.

"Never thought that Director Zhu wouldn’t come, but Young Master Lin did instead. Seems like Director Zhu and Young Master Lin must have a deep relationship..."

Zhang Wei had long guessed the likely dealings between Lin Yufeng and Director Zhu. After all, it was an internet celebrity company, and Lin Yufeng liked that sort of thing, so the two must have shared common interests.

"Radish, Silly, get ready. This time we’ll see Director Zhu ourselves!"

Since the other party wasn’t showing up and was even playing dirty tricks, Zhang Wei decided to take the initiative and pay a personal visit.

...

Meanwhile.

Take You Flying Network Live Broadcasting Economic Company, inside the office.

"Young Master Lin, are you saying that Zhang Wei is not giving you face?"

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand, looks like I’ll have to personally step in."

"By the way, how good is this Zhang Wei? To be the ace lawyer of Jincheng Law Firm, his abilities must be strong, right?"

"What, you want me to search the name Zhang Wei? Okay then, I’ll search right after hanging up."

"Alright, you’re busy, Young Master Lin, I won’t disturb you anymore."

After hanging up the phone with the other side, Zhu Pitte’s eyes suddenly darkened.

This Lin Yufeng, he had always found him unreliable, although he was the young master of Jincheng Law Firm, he didn’t have much capability; every time he sought Zhu Pitte out, it was for sleeping with internet celebrities.

Almost every famous female internet celebrity under his name had been slept with by the other party.

And now, he couldn’t even handle a trivial matter that just involved a few words.

"Waste of the Lin Family!"

Zhu Pitte scoffed coldly and quickly pulled out his phone to start searching for information about "Zhang Wei."

As he searched, he saw a list of terrifying accomplishments.

"What, a criminal defense lawyer, who specializes in fighting the Procuratorate Headquarters?"

"Homicide Lawyer, with several Dongfang Capital business celebrities having died at his hands?"

"Even Lord Tiger from Fierce Tiger Hall nearly fell to him, and Qian Moli from Dongxing Securities was also suspected of being driven to death by him?"

He was startled once he looked into it.

Zhu Pitte had never imagined that Bobo, who hadn’t bothered to find a lawyer before, now found such a terrifying one when he actually did.

These news stories were all true.

Zhu Pitte could only inwardly exclaim... Such a person was truly terrifying!

"No, I need to find a lawyer too!"

Take You Flying did have a cooperating lawyer, but not one from a big law firm; they partnered with a medium-sized firm.

"Director Wang, are you busy at your firm recently? I have a case I need you to handle."

"You’re asking about the case? It’s nothing much, just a female broadcaster who’s planning to switch platforms, and she’s been breaching her contract by not broadcasting these last few days."

"Oh, you say it’s easy to handle, that’s good then."

"By the way, I should mention that the broadcaster has hired a lawyer."

"Oh, you say hiring a lawyer is useless, and that we’re sure to win the case, that’s even better, thanks a lot, Director Wang."

"You’re asking the name of the lawyer? Oh, his name is Zhang Wei."

Zhu Pitte could clearly hear that the person on the other end of the line paused their breathing for a moment.

"Director Wang?"

"You’re asking which Zhang Wei? The Zhang Wei from Jincheng Law Firm, from the criminal department, the same ace lawyer, you’ve heard of him, right?"

"Director Wang, what are you saying, you’re dropping the case, how could you—"

"Director Wang, Director Wang, hello, hello, Director Wang..."

Zhu Pitte looked at the disconnected phone call, frowning.

Clearly, although he knew Zhang Wei was trouble, he had still underestimated his influence in Dongfang Capital’s legal circles.

Or rather, his notoriety was enough to intimidate the lesser folks.

"If this won’t do, then I’ll look for a lawyer from the Top Ten Firms!"

He began searching for some lawyer candidates from the Top Ten Firms and then made a call.

"Hello, is this Lawyer Tian? I have a case I want to entrust, the opposition is Zhang Wei, hello, hello, Lawyer Tian..."

"Hello, is this Lawyer Qi? I need help with a case, you’ll be opposing Zhang Wei, as for this matter, hello, Lawyer Qi, don’t hang up!"

"Hello, is this Lawyer Chen? I have a case where the plaintiff might be Zhang Wei, and he... beep..."

He made three consecutive calls, and unexpectedly they were all hung up.

Zhu Pitte’s face darkened, and he was speechless for a long while.

"Dammit!"

After a long time, the anger in his heart erupted into that word from his mouth.

"Director Zhu, someone is looking for you!"

A woman’s voice came from outside the door.

"Who is it?"

"He claims his last name is Sun, a lawyer, and he says that Director Zhu needs his help right now?"

"Lawyer Sun? Who is that, I don’t know him... Never mind, let him in!"

Zhu Pitte thought it over and decided to meet with the person.

After all, he was in need of a lawyer, and if someone was volunteering, that was even better.

The door to the office opened, and a man walked in.

"Director Zhu, I presume? I’m the lawyer here to help you."

The newcomer was none other than Master Tang’s senior apprentice, Sun Kongwen, who had crossed paths with Zhang Wei once.

"Lawyer Sun, you..."

"Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Sun Kongwen. I used to be the exclusive lawyer for Fierce Tiger Hall, trained by Master Tang!"

Upon hearing this introduction, Zhu Pitte’s expression changed, and then he quickly became obsequious.

"So it’s Lawyer Sun, please have a seat!"

Zhu Pitte, himself being a figure in the underworld, naturally knew the notoriety of Fierce Tiger Hall.

Master Tang was even more fearsome, a figure everyone in the underworld respected and feared. So naturally, his disciple would be...

"Lawyer Sun, I remember you had previously handled a case for Dongxing Securities, that case..."

The moment he spoke about the one topic he shouldn’t have, Sun Kongwen frowned sharply, almost bursting into anger.

But when he thought about his mission here today, he chose to suppress his fury for the time being.

"Director Zhu, time is of the essence, so let’s get to the point, I am here to help you deal with Zhang Wei!"

"Deal with Zhang Wei?"

"Yes, regarding the previous case with Dongxing Securities, we practically had a guaranteed win, but unexpectedly Zhang Wei resorted to trickery, using conspiracy and some illegal evidence to disrupt the court. Although he won, we in Fierce Tiger Hall do not accept this defeat. This time, having heard about your case, my master sent me to give you a hand."

"With Lawyer Sun’s help, that’s naturally the best. However, my case is not a criminal one, and they want to sue us, this..."

"Don’t worry, Director Zhu, I already have a countermeasure, guaranteed to catch him completely off guard!"

A confident smile appeared on Sun Kongwen’s face.

Afterwards, Zhu Pitte and Sun Kongwen discussed in the office for over ten minutes.

"Director Zhu, there’s someone downstairs looking for you, he claims to be Zhang Wei!"

Just as the two almost finished their discussion, the woman outside spoke again.

"Let him come up!"

At this moment, Zhu Pitte had regained his confidence, his face no longer somber, and he even looked spirited.

And the reason for his confidence was the person sitting beside him.

"Lawyer Sun, then let’s both get a glimpse of this Zhang Wei!"

Sun Kongwen thought to himself that he had already encountered Zhang Wei several times in court, but he still nodded.

Before long, Zhang Wei’s trio also arrived at the office and met with Zhu Pitte.

"Oh, Lawyer Sun is here too?"

Zhang Wei was a bit surprised by Sun Kongwen’s presence.

What could Fierce Tiger Hall be thinking, not going after their leader but coming here?

"So you are Zhang Wei, the lawyer, here to help that slut Bobo?"

"This must be Director Zhu, right? I’m Zhang Wei, now acting as Miss Lin’s legal representative."

Zhang Wei said, initially thinking to hand out his business card, but seeing Sun Kongwen there, he abandoned the idea.

"Director Zhu, I’m here for a simple reason, regarding the contract. I believe the contract with Take You Flying Company has many unreasonable and non-compliant points, and I was hoping you could peacefully terminate the contract with my client."

"Hmph, that slut wants to jump ship, is it? Does she know how many resources I spent to promote her at the start?"

Zhu Pitte chuckled coldly, unmistakably displeased.

"But you can’t arbitrarily withhold her salary, can you?"

"What do you know? This is the unspoken rule of our live broadcasting industry. These internet celebrities might switch companies after getting paid, and might also splurge the money. I’m keeping it for them, which is for their own good!"

"Well then, it seems I must write a lawsuit for my client. Take You Flying has many points I believe to be done poorly!"

Zhang Wei’s tone now carried a hint of threat.

"Lawyer Zhang, I’m sorry, but you’re too late."

However, after hearing this, Zhu Pitte just laughed out loud.

"Oh, Director Zhu, what do you mean?"

"We’re all set to sue you!"

Zhu Pitte said, glancing towards Sun Kongwen, who straightened his collar and stood up.

"Lawyer Zhang, I tell you as the director’s entrusted lawyer, I will represent Take You Flying Network Live Broadcasting Economic Company to sue your client Miss Lin for breach of contract and demand five million in damages for the breach!"

"Oh, turning the tables, one step ahead of me?"

Zhang Wei, observing this scene, thought to himself, not bad at all.

"Indeed, my junior sister has already submitted the power of attorney to the court. I am confident our case will be accepted faster than Lawyer Zhang’s. For now, you should consider how to counter our allegations."

"Moreover, I can tell you that your client has not been live broadcasting these past few days, and it is clearly written in the contract that her behavior constitutes a breach!"

Sun Kongwen looked at Zhang Wei with an air of arrogance.

"Fine, Lawyer Sun, you are formidable. Zhang Someone will take his leave!"

Zhang Wei, seeing that the situation was beyond remedy, could do nothing but take his leave.

As for issuing dire warnings and such, they were all a waste of time.

He needed to return, change strategies, and adjust his approach.
