Are You Crazy? He’s only an Intern Lawyer?
Chapter 666 - 658: Renewing the License, Disgusting Lin Xiangtian

Chapter 666: Chapter 658: Renewing the License, Disgusting Lin Xiangtian

City Council, Speaker’s Office.

"What, he’s a king!"

"Niuniu Archipelago, where have I ever heard of it!"

"Blue Star International Alliance even has certification documents and fucking backups, I’m fucking..."

"You’re fucking asking me, who knows, I want to ask someone else, this shit is like a notice hung on the rooftop, only Heaven knows..."

Even Zhang Tianlong, who was always composed, almost lost his cool and swore upon hearing the information reported on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the call, his back teeth were fully clenched, and he was utterly frustrated.

"I’m really fucking fed up; what kind of country is this Niuniu Archipelago, allowing such a little bastard to be king!"

Zhang Tianlong said this and dialed Zhang Youlin’s phone.

"Son, there’s a change in plans, now we can’t touch Zhang Wei at all!"

"You wouldn’t have guessed, this kid fucking has diplomatic immunity!"

On the desk phone, Zhang Youlin’s breathing obviously intensified.

Clearly, as a member of the special forces, he knew what diplomatic immunity meant.

A ’Get Out of Jail Free’ card!

"You go now and check it out for me, use the special forces’ resources to find out what and where the Niuniu Archipelago is!"

"Understood."

Zhang Youlin hung up the phone again.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianlong, with his forehead in hand, was the picture of sullenness.

Zhang Wei now had diplomatic immunity, and that meant he was completely untouchable.

Otherwise, if Zhang Wei had an accident in Dongfang Capital, to hell with the Blue Star International Alliance, even the top brass would launch a major investigation.

After all, Niuniu Archipelago was, nominally, a country that had diplomatic relations with Dragon Country, and if their king and foreign ambassador were harmed in your Dongfang Capital, you’d have to give an explanation.

Otherwise, this would not just be a small issue, but escalate into an international incident.

"Fuck!"

Even Zhang Tianlong ended up cursing out loud in the end.

No choice there, given Zhang Wei was out of reach for the time being.

Elsewhere.

Outside the investigative unit.

"Are you really a king?"

"Where exactly is the Niuniu Archipelago?"

"Since when did you become a king, and why didn’t you say so earlier, making us worry about you!"

Facing the grilling from Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others, Zhang Wei could only hurriedly apologize.

"I’m sorry, there were just too many things I needed to prepare and I didn’t inform you in time."

"But don’t worry, I’ve dealt with the matters outside, and now that I’m back in Dongfang Capital, I won’t be leaving for a while."

"Oh, and everyone come over tomorrow night, I’ll officially announce my return."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei took out several party invitations and handed them to Zhao Xiaoxiao and the others.

"Second girl, hand this to Uncle Zhao, and give the extras to the other members of the Five Great Families, and if Zhang Tianlong and his like would attend, that would be even better."

"Are you sure you want me to pass these to them?"

"Sure."

Seeing Zhang Wei was firm, Zhao Xiaoxiao accepted the invitations.

"Classmate Mo, this one’s for your family, remember to tell Forensic Yang and Councilor Mo to come too, okay?"

"Alright."

Mo Yuzhu excitedly took the invitation.

"Jessica, you..."

As Zhang Wei looked at her, Jessica slightly parted the collar of her clothing, revealing a glimpse of a red gemstone necklace nestled between the peaks.

"Don’t worry, I’ll be there every day!"

"Remember to bring Cui Xi."

Jessica nodded, indicating no problem.

"Old Xiao, Xiao Tan has resigned now, right?"

"Um, she said she’s going to run for election; but how did you know?"

"Remember to bring her tomorrow, I’ve got some things to talk about with her."

"Oh."

Though Xiao Baihe didn’t know why Zhang Wei wanted to see Tan Yingying, she still agreed.

Finally, Zhang Wei’s gaze turned to Xia Qianyue.

"Silly, long time no see."

"Yeah, long time no see."

The two of them seemed as if it was their first meeting, yet also as if they’d known each other for a very long time.

Suddenly, Zhang Wei opened his arms, and Xia Qianyue stepped into his embrace in one swift move. They hugged each other tightly, everything unspoken yet understood.

This scene brought tears to the eyes of Zhao Xiaoxiao and others.

They were deeply moved, overwhelmingly so.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important stuff!"

Zhang Wei hastily pushed Xia Qianyue away, then glanced at the time.

"Well, you all go back and get ready, Silly, don’t forget to inform your in-laws, and as for my aunt, I’ll personally visit her tomorrow, so you don’t have to worry about that!"

As he spoke, he walked forward and a stretched luxury car was parked ahead.

"Sorry, I still have a few things to do, and I might be running short on time. My schedule will be more relaxed after the banquet tomorrow!"

With his apologies, Zhang Wei got into the car and sped off.

Zhao Xiaoxiao and the other women looked at each other in disbelief; the touching moment had just evaporated.

Damn it, he left after just a few words, give us back our tears!

...

Where was Zhang Wei off to next?

Of course, to the Lawyer’s Association.

He wanted to reinstate his lawyer’s license.

After all, two years ago, due to that incident, his license had been suspended by the Dongfang Capital Lawyers Association for two years.

He was back, naturally, to complete his files and records, and to resume his qualifications.

At the same time.

Members of the Five Great Families, including Lin Xiangtian, were also aware that Zhang Wei had returned to Dongfang Capital.

Confusion, incomprehension, surprise, and even bewilderment—that was the reaction of these families.

Of course, for Zhao Qingyan of the Zhao Family, excitement and relief were probably the only things he felt.

But for the other families who had direct conflicts of interest with Zhang Wei, the feelings were not so pleasant.

Especially for Lin Xiangtian, the spokesperson for the Lin Family, who had just gotten wind of Zhang Wei’s presence.

"This kid is coming to the Lawyer’s Association!"

As the nominal president of the Lawyer’s Association, he understood Zhang Wei’s intentions as soon as he heard about his itinerary.

"Let’s go, let’s meet this kid!"

Lin Xiangtian waved his hand grandly and led his men straight to the Lawyer’s Association.

And Zhang Wei was actually stuck in traffic!

By the time he reached the Lawyer’s Association, it was already past 3 in the afternoon.

"Told you, should never trust the traffic in Dongfang Capital, I’m taking the subway tomorrow!"

After grumbling about the traffic, Zhang Wei looked up at the Southern headquarters building of the Lawyer’s Association and couldn’t help but click his tongue.

He hadn’t been to this place in two years. He wondered who might be waiting for him inside.

Lawyer’s Association, first floor lobby.

"Hello, I am Zhang Wei, I’m here to renew my license!"

"Alright, Lawyer Zhang, you..."

The receptionist flashed a professional smile, then lifted her head and came face to face with Zhang Wei.

Her smile froze on her face because she remembered that Lawyer Zhang Wei was supposedly the mastermind behind the Dongfang Star attack case.

This was a man accused of taking dozens of lives, an incredibly vicious criminal, and yet he was back to renew his lawyer’s license...?

The receptionist thought she had never encountered someone with such nerve before—didn’t he fear for his life?

She didn’t dare handle it herself and could only call the internal phone to summon the manager.

Once the manager was aware of the situation in the lobby, he immediately reported up to the council of the association.

The council quickly received the message, and the president announced that he would personally come down.

So when the internal elevator doors of the Lawyer’s Association opened, Lin Xiangtian emerged, leading the stately members of the Lawyer’s Association Council.

"Yo-ho, you really did come, didn’t you?"

"Long time no see, Fatty Lin!"

Zhang Wei and Lin Xiangtian greeted each other from a distance before finally coming face to face.

"Kid, I heard you made it as a king overseas. Where’s this country of yours? I couldn’t find it on Blue Star’s maps."

"Fatty Lin, I heard you’ve been playing in charity golf tournaments lately and even won a prize. I’m curious, has your golf skill improved at all? How about we hit a few rounds together this weekend?"

"You..."

Upon hearing Zhang Wei mock his golf skills, Lin Xiangtian immediately couldn’t hold back.

"You can insult me, but you can’t insult my love for golf!"

"Give me a break, your skills are the real insult to golf. I’ve never seen anyone miss a putt that’s just 10 centimeters away!"

With these words, Lin Xiangtian’s plump face suddenly became overcast with clouds.

A 10-centimeter putt going awry, that was something only he, Lin Xiangtian, would do.

And that very time, he had been at a celebrity golf match, and many had filmed the scene. It had become a hot topic in golf circles.

"That’s not right, this news only circulated in our Dongfang Capital circles, how do you, kid, know about it..."

"Not only do I know about it, but I also have a video from the event. Did you think that by having all the videos deleted from the internet I wouldn’t be able to see it?"

As he spoke, Zhang Wei took out his smartphone and started playing a video.

"Go President Lin, just 10 centimeters, sink it in one go!"

"Oh no, how did it go off course? How can you miss the last 10 centimeters?"

"This is truly an injustice by the heavens, to make President Lin suffer such an indignity, heavens have no eyes..."

Everyone present at the scene watched this, exchanging glances with each other.

They wanted to laugh, but Lin Xiangtian was standing right there, and they dared not.

"Hmph, kid, what are you doing at the Lawyer’s Association!"

Lin Xiangtian bellowed furiously, planning to move away from the topic of golf.

"Oh, nothing much, I’m just here to renew my license. In the future, I’ll be working in Dongfang Capital as a lawyer!"

"Renewing the license? You? Hahaha..."

Hearing Zhang Wei’s request, Lin Xiangtian couldn’t help but laugh.

Those around him also began to laugh.

"What’s the matter, what’s wrong with me renewing my license?"

Lin Xiangtian didn’t bother with Zhang Wei and, after a laugh, patted the shoulder of a council member beside him.

The latter immediately understood and stepped forward to explain, "Zhang Wei, you might not know, but the Lawyer’s Association stipulates that in order to maintain their license, every lawyer must take on at least two cases each year!"

Another council member also stepped forward to add, "And you, Lawyer Zhang, you’ve been absent for two years, which means you have a record of zero cases taken on for those two years. So your license has already been archived and could be revoked at any time!"

Seeing this, a third council member also stepped forward, "Lawyer Zhang, we didn’t revoke your license because you were missing for two years, but now that you’re back, you can watch us revoke it."

After this statement, he signaled to the receptionist behind him who began to access the system to start the process.

"Hold on, I’ve taken on cases for these two years!"

"What, you’ve taken cases? How come we didn’t know about it?"

"Because the cases I took were international litigations, they weren’t registered with the Dongfang Capital Lawyers Association. But today, I’ve brought the documentation!"

Zhang Wei said, pulling out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handing them to the receptionist.

"These are the records of the cases I’ve taken in the past two years, with litigation numbers and case information. You can just enter them into the system, and they can be verified at the international court’s records center," he concluded, looking at Lin Xiangtian, "You thought I wouldn’t guess that you’d try to trip me up, but there’s no way I’m going to let you revoke this lawyer’s license!"

Lin Xiangtian, upon seeing that thick pile of documents Zhang Wei handed out, instantly couldn’t hold back anymore.

"Hmph, even if you took cases, so what? Our Lawyer’s Association won’t allow a person with bad conduct to be a lawyer. You collaborated with pirates and caused the deaths of so many notable people in Dongfang Capital, just for this point alone I could reject you!"

"That case, because I was missing for 2 years, hasn’t been prosecuted to this day. And now, as you know, I’ve become the King of the Niuniu Archipelago, and I have diplomatic immunity, so they can’t prosecute me, can they?"

As he spoke, Zhang Wei ignored Lin Xiangtian’s furious gaze, "So, for a case that hasn’t been prosecuted, all your allegations are actually meaningless because you can’t prove this matter has anything to do with me, and prosecution can’t take me to court. As long as I haven’t been convicted, then these are just baseless accusations!"

At this point, Lin Xiangtian found himself speechless.

He could only look towards those three council members who had just spoken up on his behalf.

I’m out of options, it’s up to you three to deal with it.

Seeing this, the three were about to take action again.

But Zhang Wei was quicker than all of them, stepping forward to the first council member and grabbing his hand for a tight shake.

"Oh, isn’t this Director Gao? Congratulations on your recent marriage!"

"How did you know I got married."

"I also know your wife has quite the figure!"

"You..."

Director Gao suddenly lost his composure and was about to become violent.

"Don’t get angry, Director Gao, I’m just stating the facts. By the way, I should tell you, have you seen the video your wife made before?"

"What video?"

"Ah, you don’t know about your wife’s past video?"

Zhang Wei said, taking out his smartphone and, in front of everyone, started playing a video.

In the video, a woman and three men were intensely engaged on a bed, creating a scene that was quite shocking.

"This is your wife, you’re quite lucky to have found such an experienced woman to be your newlywed wife. I’m sure you’ve experienced plenty of her techniques, haven’t you?"

"This..."

"Oh, right, Director Gao, this is just the first video. I’ve kept another classic one, it’s cosplay, you know. But your wife is amazing, every time she does it with more than three men. Do you have the energy to satisfy her at your age?"

As the second video played, Director Gao’s face had completely darkened.

"Director Gao, having a wife who likes to film like this, I must say, you have a very unique taste!"

Director Gao trembled with rage, curled up into the crowd, and quickly vanished without a trace.

Today, he had really lost face big time.

To think his own wife used to enjoy filming, and now these videos were being watched by so many people here, it was simply...

Zhang Wei had dealt with one person, then looked toward the second.

"Director Fu, congrats to you, your daughter won a singing competition, congratulations."

Director Fu, whom Zhang Wei shook hands with, was immediately startled. Why bring up my daughter? She’s never filmed anything.

"Oh, right, Director Fu, you too... Although your daughter’s singing basics aren’t up to par, there’s no need to bribe the judges, right? I know you want your daughter to be happy as a father, but spending 2.3 million, wasn’t that a bit too much?"

"This..."

Director Fu’s forehead broke out in sweat, cursing inwardly. How do you know about my bribing the judges, a secret that even my daughter doesn’t know?

Director Fu, scared stiff, shook violently and curled up into the crowd, fleeing swiftly without looking back.

Today, he had lost face beyond redemption.

Next, Zhang Wei turned to the last one.

The latter was startled.

"Uh, my mom just called saying she’s got an urgent matter to discuss, I need to leave first, okay?"

This board member was scared and directly used his mother as an excuse to bolt from the scene.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but remark, "Director Xiang really knows how to make a quick getaway!"

If he didn’t leave quickly, he’d be the one to lose face right there on the spot.

"But I’m curious, hasn’t Director Xiang’s mother been dead for over three years? Who phoned him today, a call from the underworld?"

"This..."

The whole crowd was dumbfounded.

My goodness!

You’ve thoroughly investigated the death of his mother from three years ago, huh? Ruthless!

"Fatty Lin, what puzzles me is how the members of the Lawyers Association board all turn out to be up to no good. You accuse me of bad conduct, but how come I feel that you are the ones who are morally corrupt?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangtian’s camp didn’t dare to respond.

Heaven only knows how many of their secrets this kid held in his hand.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei put his arm around Lin Xiangtian’s thick neck and smiled as he leaned in close.

"Fatty Lin, you wouldn’t want the whole town gossiping about your affairs, would you?"

"Damn, how much do you know, kid?"

"How far back do you think I should start? From the year you got married or the two years I’ve been away?"

Zhang Wei looked at Lin Xiangtian with a sly smile, "But I do admire you. You started messing with women right in the first year of your marriage, even got one pregnant, and then made her have an abortion. Really, you are..."

Enough.

With the conversation going this far, Lin Xiangtian got the message.

If he knew about the first year of his marriage, chances were other years wouldn’t be concealed from him either.

"Zhang Wei, what do you want!"

"I don’t want anything, just to renew my lawyer’s license. Isn’t that all you, Fatty Lin, have been fussing about?"

"This..."

Lin Xiangtian’s face became a picture of utter helplessness.

"Fine, you win this round, kid!"

In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.

After all, if all those things were to come out, it would cast him in a rather unflattering light.

Moreover, who knew how much dirt Zhang Wei had prepared on him.

Although many of these dirty secrets couldn’t do much to harm him, the fact was they were nauseatingly embarrassing.

So today, Lin Xiangtian had to bite the bullet and admit defeat!

Upon seeing this, Zhang Wei chuckled.

I might not be able to take you down all at once, but making you, Lin Xiangtian, uncomfortable, is a piece of cake.
