Are You Crazy? He’s only an Intern Lawyer?
Chapter 580 - 573: Huang Yunhe, Time to Wash Up and Sleep?

Chapter 580: Chapter 573: Huang Yunhe, Time to Wash Up and Sleep?

Friday, late evening.

In a high-end apartment within Longdu Second Ring.

This is Chen Xiao’s apartment, and she is on the phone in the living room.

"The plan has failed, and not only that, we’ve even lost Huang Yunhe!"

"I never imagined that this Zhang Wei could suddenly get so much dirt on Huang Yunhe."

"Isn’t he a newbie lawyer from Dongfang Capital? Why does he have such intelligence capabilities? I don’t understand."

"Is there some top-tier hacker with him, or a top-tier detective, a top-tier negotiator? Otherwise, how could he possibly find so much evidence in just a few days and even persuade and win over Huang Yunhe’s wife and children?"

"I know, there’s no point in talking about this now. What we should consider more is the case of Guan Yuhong!"

"Well then, let’s talk in detail over the weekend. There are many things to pay attention to in this case now, but the most pressing issue is Guan Yuhong’s appeal!"

"Mhm, okay, see you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xiao’s eyes grew particularly cold.

"Tie Ruyun, Zhang Wei..."

In her mouth, she murmured these two names over and over.

"I didn’t expect that we would actually fail and even have Huang Yunhe sent away by you all!"

Truth be told, Chen Xiao originally thought the hearing was a sure win.

But what happened?

Out of the 5 voters at the hearing, 3 were their people, and all 3 were gone.

In the end, even the Qin Lu Head Shopkeeper had been stirred, the big shot personally supported Tie Ruyun, and the result was sealed.

Tie Ruyun, not guilty!

Zhang Wei accomplished something she couldn’t fathom, completing an almost impossible task.

"Compared to Tie Ruyun, this Zhang Wei is the real thorny issue. I hope in Guan Yuhong’s case, this kid doesn’t continue to perform like this."

"But it seems that Tie Ruyun has always been in contact with Guan Yuhong, so this Zhang Wei should be the deputy lawyer, which is good news at least. The heavyweights at Longdu District Procuratorate Office should be able to handle a mere Tie Ruyun, right?"

Chen Xiao thought for a while, the only thing she could do now was to place her hopes on the heavyweights at Procuratorate Headquarters.

Dealing with Zhang Wei, she had no confidence, but dealing with Tie Ruyun shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s not possible that Tie Ruyun would give up his spot as the lead lawyer in a case he’s followed for 12 years, just like that, is it?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

...

Saturday, 5 a.m.

Zhang Wei woke up from his deep sleep, then twisted his somewhat aching waist and glanced at Xia Qianyue, who was still soundly asleep beside him.

"Not bad, I controlled the time better than last time!"

Feeling that his body could still stand up, Zhang Wei let out a sigh of relief.

They had won the case yesterday, everyone was in high spirits, and Zhang Wei was naturally very happy.

Moreover, since Old Tie had gone home to visit his parents, the entire second floor was occupied solely by Zhang Wei and Xia Qianyue.

Male and female together on one floor— if NOTHING happened, it would be quite unbelievable.

Although the memory of their first experience was still very much in mind, Zhang Wei felt that by controlling the frequency and timing, perhaps his body could still withstand it.

So, he pulled Xia Qianyue into starting a shameless night together yesterday.

Experience had proven that as long as it wasn’t four hours, and if he cut the time in half, his body could indeed handle it.

After getting up early, he kissed Xia Qianyue’s exquisite forehead lightly.

"Mm~" Silly, still in her slumber, let out a soft moan and then turned over to continue sleeping.

"Alright, time to make breakfast for you all!"

Zhang Wei felt that, although it was the weekend, he couldn’t rest.

Some people are just born to toil.

Zhang Wei went downstairs and began to prepare breakfast in the famed kitchen.

Before long, footsteps began echoing down from the third floor.

Mo Yuzhu and Jessica, both wearing loose silk robes, came downstairs with sleepy eyes.

The two women already had voluptuous figures, and underneath the silk robes that half-concealed, their snow-white bosoms and two long, fair legs were faintly visible, dazzling anyone who looked.

"Wow, you two are up early!"

"Yep, we smelled the breakfast."

If it had been before, when Old Tie was still around, Jessica and Mo Yuzhu would have dressed neatly before coming downstairs.

But now, with only Zhang Wei left in the house, they let themselves go a bit.

Mo Yuzhu might still be a bit shy, but Jessica came into the kitchen with ease and even took the frying pan from Zhang Wei’s hand to help make breakfast.

"I’ll fry the eggs, you prepare the rest."

"Got it."

With their division of tasks and cooperation, a hearty breakfast was ready.

Fried bacon, sunny-side-up eggs, grilled sausages, vegetable stew, vegetable salad, toast, and soy milk as a drink—all were a sincere gesture from Zhang Wei.

"Eldest girl, second girl, breakfast is ready!"

Now that everyone was so familiar with each other, Zhang Wei also let loose and called out Xia Qianyue and Zhao Xiaoxiao’s nicknames.

Jessica and Mo Yuzhu exchanged glances, smiling tacitly at each other without saying a word.

Xia Qianyue was the first to come downstairs, her complexion glowing and refreshed, likely from Zhang Wei’s care the night before.

"Here I come, here I come, what’s all the shouting about!"

Zhao Xiaoxiao was still wearing her cartoon pajamas, complaining with sleepy eyes.

"We’re supposed to be on vacation, why are you all up so early? Don’t people sleep in on their days off?"

"Girl, what are you talking about? Hurry up and have breakfast, we’ve still got to go out after eating!"

"Go out? Where to?"

As Zhao Xiaoxiao asked, she picked up a fried egg from Zhang Wei’s plate with her chopsticks and popped it straight into her mouth.

"Heeheehee..." Her face was filled with a triumphant smile after her successful sneak attack.

Seeing the second girl so lively and mischievous, Zhang Wei just chuckled and didn’t seem to mind at all.

What kind of father would blame his daughter?

"Today my tasks might be a bit heavier. I need to visit a client in prison and then make arrangements for the appeal on Monday. As for you guys, just rest up this weekend, you’ve worked hard these past few days."

Zhang Wei said, expressing his gratitude.

Without the concerted help from Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others, he would not have been able to deal with Huang Yunhe and his family so quickly.

"So, the expenses for our activities in Longdu today are...?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao giggled again, her small hand unconsciously making the motion of rubbing fingers together.

"Of course, I’ll give you the activity money right now!"

Zhang Wei immediately took out his phone and proceeded to make a transfer.

"Ding, your account has received a transfer of 500,000!"

"Have lots of fun today, it’s not every day you come to Longdu, don’t leave any regrets!"

After giving them 500,000 as pocket money, Zhang Wei grandly gestured for the girls to enjoy themselves.

"Okay~" The second girl was naturally very happy and even stopped teasing Zhang Wei.

Xia Qianyue seemed a bit worried, but Zhang Wei gave Silly a reassuring look.

After breakfast, the group split up and set off in different directions.

Zhang Wei, of course, headed to the prison in the suburbs.

As for Zhao Xiaoxiao, Xia Qianyue, Jessica, and Mo Yuzhu, they set off for the most bustling area of Longdu to start their day’s activities.

It must be said that the division of labor was clear: those who needed to be busy got to it, and those who had to play did not stop for a moment.

...

Longdu Prison.

Inside the visitation room.

Zhang Wei and Guan Ping once again met Guan Yuhong.

"Lawyer Zhang, I’ve heard of your heroic deeds. At an internal hearing of the Lawyer’s Association, you not only defeated the three representative lawyers, but also cleared Lawyer Tie of his wrongful accusations!"

"Mr. Guan, you seem to have very good sources of information inside the prison!"

"Of course, don’t underestimate the information network of Longdu Prison. There’s a mix of all kinds of people here; as long as you have money and connections, you can get your hands on any information."

Guan Yuhong was also very happy because the young lawyer in front of him had proven his capabilities through two hearings.

"Old Tie has told me that for this appeal, I will act as the lead lawyer. But don’t worry, Old Tie will also be with us from start to finish as the associate lawyer!"

"I have complete confidence in Lawyer Tie and you, Lawyer Zhang!"

Guan Yuhong didn’t have concerns about that.

However, he still looked around, and then leaned in closer, "But about the appeal, is it going to work?"

"There shouldn’t be any problems because I’ve made several preparations!"

Zhang Wei said, opening his notebook and writing down the two words "Chen Xiao."

"First, we’ll start by going after Chen Xiao!"

"Lawyer Chen?"

Guan Yuhong actually remembered Chen Xiao, since he was the person she had personally wronged to put her in prison; how could she possibly forget?

"Before, I might have thought that Chen Xiao didn’t intentionally frame you to go to jail, but after two hearings, I’ve begun to doubt that idea,"

Zhang Wei said, analyzing, "Now, I can be sure that Chen Xiao colluded with the boss of Longxiang Construction, and even when she framed Old Tie, she was acting under the instructions of someone behind the scenes, all to ensure that you had to go to jail!"

Speaking of which, there were many coincidences in that case from 12 years ago.

Why did Tie Ruyun, the lead attorney, come under internal investigation because of Chen Xiao’s accusations as soon as the trial began?

Because of that internal investigation, Tie Ruyun lost his status as the entrusted lawyer.

It was even more coincidental that there were many capable lawyers at Longteng Law Firm, yet why did such an important murder case fall into the hands of a novice like Chen Xiao?

In the end, Zhang Wei had seen Chen Xiao’s performance record in court.

It could only be said that Chen Xiao had never intended to fight for justice for Guan Yuhong, and her performance could only be described as utterly terrible.

Perhaps, his lovely little apprentice Lin Yumeng would perform better than Chen Xiao.

But since Chen Xiao was able to join Longteng Law Firm, there was no way she was a novice who knew nothing; it was clear she was pretending.

And combined with the performance at the hearings, it was likely Huang Yunhe originally assigned Guan Yuhong’s case to Chen Xiao.

When a department head speaks, no one else dares to object.

"Then, I entrust everything to Lawyer Zhang!"

"For Old Tie, and for the truth, I will spare no effort!"

After discussing the details of the case with Guan Yuhong again, Zhang Wei left with Guan Ping.

"Lawyer Zhang, where to next?"

"Next, I’m going to meet an enemy, and you should not follow. Otherwise, I’m afraid they won’t be able to speak freely,"

"An enemy?"

Guan Ping was surprised but didn’t ask more. He just knew that there must be a purpose to Zhang Wei’s actions.

The two parted ways, and Zhang Wei followed the navigation to the entrance of a high-end residential complex in Longdu that had newer amenities.

Standing at the entrance of the complex, Zhang Wei was about to go in when he furrowed his brows.

"If I believe Huang Yunhe was an informant, and now he has lost his usefulness, tell me, do you think the person behind the scenes would get rid of him?"

Zhang Wei felt that his guess might very well be true, and immediately took out his mobile phone to send a text message to Xia Qianyue.

[Xia Qianyue: Received, speeding over now!]

After receiving Xia Qianyue’s reply, Zhang Wei felt assured and then, through some means, tricked the security personnel and managed to enter the complex.

Huang Yunhe’s home was on the 16th floor of the central building, a flat with 140 square meters of living space, boasting a good location and view, overlooking the community’s landscape garden from the front hall - a prime spot in the building.

Such an apartment, by Longdu’s real estate prices, would be worth at least 20 million.

Ding dong, ding dong, ding dong!

Zhang Wei pressed the doorbell.

But no one came to open the door after a long while.

Zhang Wei’s eyebrows furrowed, and he pressed his ear against the door to listen carefully.

"There’s someone inside!"

He heard noises; it seemed like there was someone behind the door.

Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, and instead of continuing to ring the doorbell, he crouched down.

This way, if someone was spying through the peephole, they wouldn’t be able to see him.

He knew that Huang Yunhe’s wife and children had already left that place.

Because the two were in the midst of a divorce proceeding, Huang Yunhe and his wife were separated.

Therefore, the person hiding inside could only be Huang Yunhe.

In fact, Zhang Wei had guessed correctly.

The person peering through the peephole was indeed Huang Yunhe.

He watched the doorway for a long time but didn’t see anyone.

Huang Yunhe thought it over and still cautiously withdrew from the living room, retreating to his study.

The current state of Huang Yunhe was, to put it bluntly, quite wretched, nowhere near the glory of a senior partner at Longteng International.

Now, he was disheveled, his suit creased and shabby, reeking of alcohol and foul odor.

"Damn Zhang Wei, damn all of it, it’s all your fault; you ruined me!"

Whenever Huang Yunhe thought about why he had fallen to such straits, he couldn’t help but curse someone.

After a while, Huang Yunhe must have been desperate; he couldn’t help but need to use the bathroom.

He sneaked out of the study, then rushed into the restroom and let it flow.

After he finished urinating, he breathed a sigh of relief and then walked back to the study.

"Old Huang, what’s wrong with you? You look so disheveled."

But just then, an extra shadow appeared in the living room, and a mocking laughter erupted.

"Zhang Wei!"

That voice, and the way he said "Old Huang," Huang Yunhe thought, even if I turned to ashes, I would remember you!

"How did you get in here!" Seeing Zhang Wei, Huang Yunhe quickly picked up a golf club.

"What a joke. If I couldn’t even get through the door, what kind of criminal defense lawyer would I be?"

As Zhang Wei said this, he smiled slightly and sat down, "By the way, don’t be surprised—I’m here to discuss the divorce with your wife. After all, the division of marital assets is a big deal!"

"Property division!" Hearing these four words, Huang Yunhe’s face turned red.

If it weren’t for your damned deeds, I wouldn’t have fallen to such a state.

"Old Huang, don’t look at me with that kind of eyes. Think about it carefully, did you really fall to this point because of me?"

Zhang Wei spread his hands. Could you, Huang Yunhe, be a bit more sensible and self-reflect?

Wasn’t your downfall due to your own actions?

With so many bad things you’ve done, do you have no conscience?

"Old Huang, don’t say I’m heartless. I’m here to cooperate with you this time."

"Cooperate?"

"Yes, cooperate!"

Seeing that Huang Yunhe didn’t start a fight but was listening to him, Zhang Wei felt assured.

"Here’s the thing, I was planning to pursue your responsibility according to the number of times you cheated, ensuring you got nothing in the divorce. But I’ve persuaded your wife. After all, you’ve been husband and wife; she’s willing to save you some face. We can make some concessions in the property division."

"You can make some concessions, so obviously you need me to do something, right?"

Huang Yunhe might be a senior partner at Longteng, but just from that one sentence, he understood Zhang Wei’s intentions.

"Exactly. It’s effortless to deal with a smart person."

Zhang Wei smiled slightly, stating his conditions, "It’s simple. You just tell me who your backer is, and I’ll convince your wife to leave you with some dignity."

"My backer, you mean the Guan Yuhong case?"

"Yes, I know you were involved in that case; otherwise, Chen Xiao couldn’t have gotten the position of lead attorney in the case, so Chen Xiao is involved too. Also involved are the boss of Longxiang Construction, the gang hitman Lin Berte, who unfortunately was silenced by you, and the Qing Jiao Gang, though they were probably just a tool for you. So, who exactly is behind all this!"

"Hahaha, kid, it looks like you still don’t know who you’ve messed with!"

Seeing Zhang Wei like this, Huang Yunhe couldn’t help but burst into loud laughter.

"Kid, do you know who you’ve got involved with? It’s Long..."

"Old Huang, duck!"

Huang Yunhe was about to blab something, but Zhang Wei’s expression suddenly changed and he dove to the ground.

Bang—

The glass in the living room suddenly shattered, followed by the explosion of Huang Yunhe’s head!

A sniper!

Another sniper!

Huang Yunhe still got shot in the head!

The sniper bullet was so powerful that Huang Yunhe’s entire head was blown apart; his headless body quivered as it fell, blood and brain matter mixed together on the floor.

Huang Yunhe, dead!

"Just as I thought, these masterminds are really ruthless!"

Seeing Huang Yunhe die before his eyes, Zhang Wei thought, these bastards sure act swiftly.

If I had arrived a moment later, I probably would have only seen Huang Yunhe’s corpse.

Meanwhile, on the rooftop of a building hundreds of meters away.

A sniper, wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, packed up the sniper rifle, then took out a mobile phone and sent a text message.

[Huang Yunhe can take a long sleep]

The content of the message was brief, but it signified that a life had left this world.

Having completed the task, the sniper immediately began disassembling the firearm and retreating.

After all, in this line of work, it’s all about being quick and clean, and the faster you leave the scene after hitting the target, the safer you are.
