Are You Crazy? He’s only an Intern Lawyer?
Chapter 667 - 659 Target Zhang Tianlong, Takedown the Lackey!

Chapter 667: Chapter 659 Target Zhang Tianlong, Takedown the Lackey!

Lawyer’s license, updated.

Zhang Wei had once again restored his status as a lawyer, and his practice record now boasted a long list of international litigation records.

"Wow, this is the defense case for serial killer Warrick Sen; it’s said that this Warrick Sen committed crimes all over the world, with more than 200 lives on his hands, yet he was defended as innocent and even won the case!"

"How on earth did they win that case?"

"Let me see, okay, this Warrick Sen has never left his country since birth; those cases in other countries were all committed by others using his name without his knowledge, alright..."

"Damn, this is that world-shaking Blue Star International Bank theft case, and the main defendant’s defense lawyer was Lawyer Zhang Wei, he..."

"Look at this one, this is last year’s international hotel chain merger case, it was even ranked first in the Blue Star trending searches for a while."

"The Four Seasons hotel chain with 200 global locations reached a cooperation with the Caesar Palace Hotels, which has 33 top hotels in the world - can’t believe the lawyer for the merger case was Zhang Wei!"

"And this one too, the ancient country in the desert announced its independence and the drafting of laws and regulations were outsourced to expert lawyers, and this lawyer turned out to be Lawyer Zhang as well!"

"You’re talking about that? There’s even more outrageous stuff - Lawyer Zhang even defended penguins in the Arctic region, suing humans for littering and damaging their habitat, and he actually won the case!"

"Fuck, defending animals? That’s possible?"

"Look here, there’s also this one, I’ve been following this case for a long time, it was also huge international news, I didn’t expect..."

Among them, there were business merges worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions, and many international big news stories, to the astonishing discovery of the staff, the defender in all these cases was Zhang Wei.

It was evident that in these two years, he had handled many cases that a lawyer might not encounter in a lifetime.

When the employees of the Lawyer’s Association entered all case information into Zhang Wei’s license record, they were shocked by this resume.

As for Zhang Wei himself, he naturally completed the task, then brushed off his clothes and left, concealing his fame and achievements.

Once back in his chauffeured car, he checked the time.

"Let’s go, to Chengbei District!"

The driver began driving toward Chengbei District.

Meanwhile, in the car, Zhang Wei took out a notebook and began recording his upcoming itinerary.

"After meeting with my aunt and the others, I still need to make a trip to Bei Chong Island, I still have a house there, and Sister Xiao Wu and Lu Ma..."

As he thought of these old acquaintances, scenes of memories seemed to flash before Zhang Wei’s eyes.

However, these memories were forever fixed on that one day.

Dongfang Star!

The thought of this event brought a gleam of cold light to Zhang Wei’s eyes.

"Zhang Tianlong, your Zhang Family is one I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely will not forgive!"

With a chilling tone and a fierce coldness, Zhang Wei’s attitude toward Zhang Tianlong and his family was straightforward.

Enemies!

Since they were enemies, then they must be utterly defeated, crushed, without giving them any chance to fight back!

To deal with Zhang Tianlong, to take on the Zhang Family, he would start with those closest to them.

Against a formidable enemy, an enemy that cannot be defeated with one strike, begin by cutting off their wings!

Eradicate all their allies and subordinates, leave them with no support, and then deliver the final blow, ending them completely.

Be fully prepared, striking fatally in an instant!

In dealing with enemies, one must go all out!

...

Chengbei District, Qingmu Law Firm.

Truth be told, ever since two years ago, life at Qingmu Law Firm hasn’t been easy.

To be precise, it’s been two and a half years.

As everyone knows, the person in charge of Qingmu Law Firm is Li Qingmu.

And he has a niece, named Xia Qianyue, who has a boyfriend, also her prospective son-in-law, named Zhang Wei.

Ever since Li Qingmu had a confrontation with Zhang Wei, he had suffered two defeats in two battles, and the losses were embarrassingly severe.

Not only that, in one case he gave in early, resulting in Zhang Wei winning again, thoroughly smacking him in the face.

Zhang Wei could win all by himself, yet you, Li Qingmu, leading dozens of lawyers in the firm, conceded in advance?

That’s how it was, because of this nephew-in-law, everyone could see that even though Li Qingmu had some abilities, Qingmu Law Firm still fell short compared to the top law firms by more than just a little.

Therefore, after their one-year contracts expired, many of Qingmu Law Firm’s clients chose to seek legal representation elsewhere.

Even some of those who hadn’t left yet were ambiguous in their attitudes toward Qingmu Law Firm.

"Your Qingmu is in such a state now, and we have been long-standing clients supporting your business, so shouldn’t the attorney fees be a bit cheaper?"

"It doesn’t need to be much cheaper. Your Qingmu used to be a strong contender among second-tier law firms. Now you haven’t dropped to third-tier, but you’re just a ragtag member among the second-tier."

"From a strong contender among the second-tier to a weak one now, can the attorney fees remain the same?"

Under the premise of retaining their existing clients, Qingmu Law Firm had to slash its attorney fees nearly in half.

Of course, with Li Qingmu’s capabilities, even if the attorney fees were cut in half, the business shrank, and even if the number of staff at the law firm was reduced by half, they would still manage to keep going.

However, recently, Qingmu Law Firm had been faced with even greater challenges.

At this very moment.

Inside the largest conference room at Qingmu Law Firm.

"Li Qingmu Law Firm, you must stop all route operations of the three transportation and shipping companies in Chengbei District you represent, because the route they use now belongs to my client!"

"This is unfair competition. Why can foreign companies pay tolls and pass, but only our representatives are not allowed through!"

Li Qingmu looked at the two people in front of him, his face filled with anger.

"Unfair competition, Lawyer Li, you must be joking. It’s just that your three companies were found to have safety hazard issues in the last quarter’s quality inspection. To maintain the safety of international routes, we naturally have to refuse any threats posed by safety hazards!"

Opposing Li Qingmu, the rivals pulled out an excuse that had clearly been prepared in advance.

"Here is the quality inspection result for your three clients’ companies and their logistics systems from last quarter. It clearly states ’substandard’ in three words. Do you think we would let products with serious safety and security risks use our route?"

"I believe there are serious inaccuracies in this quarter’s quality inspection report. My clients have been in the maritime business for over a decade and never had any safety issues in previous inspections. How could all three suddenly have problems this quarter? This is obviously unreasonable!"

"Reasonable or not, it’s not for you, Li Qingmu, to decide here by making assumptions. We only acknowledge the report, and if the report says no, then we won’t let you through!"

Seeing that the other party was implacable and even unyieldingly holding on to their supposed right, Li Qingmu felt helpless, as if there was nowhere to start.

"Anyway, unless you prove that your three companies’ products and logistics systems are problem-free, we will strictly follow the maritime regulations and not let any of your companies’ products use our route. Have you understood?"

Having said that, the two opponents stood up, ready to leave.

"Lawyer Li, what are we supposed to do? The livelihoods of hundreds of my employees depend on this route!"

"Yes, after running these sea routes for so many years, to be told today that I can’t run them anymore... this truly cuts off our means of survival!"

"I’m telling you, they’re doing this on purpose. They want to starve us to death and then dominate the entire market in Chengbei District themselves. Their ambition is too great!"

The representatives of the three companies expressed different emotions at the moment: fear, helplessness, and anger.

"But, last quarter’s quality inspection clearly indicated that your three companies have safety hazard issues. I..."

Li Qingmu almost spread his hands out, indicating he was also at his wit’s end.

"Hu Yaode, Jia Meili, there you two are!"

Just then, Li Qingmu and others heard a tease coming from outside the conference room.

"Eh, this voice, why does it sound so familiar?"

Li Qingmu’s mind didn’t immediately react, but the voice was indeed strikingly familiar.

"Zhang Wei, how is it possible, you’re actually not dead!"

"If you two turncoats are alive, how could I, Zhang Someone, possibly come to harm?"

"You..."

"Did I say something wrong? Now you’re dogs for Zhang Tianlong, I wonder if Duanmu Heizu, your former master watching from the underworld, would be so mad he doesn’t even want to drink his soup?"

"You..."

"Oh, right, look at the two of you. You used to be, at least, partners of Blackfoot. Now you’ve fallen so low as to be errand runners, working like dogs every day outside. How hard that must be!"

"You little..."

"What, you want to fight? Come on then, hit me in the face; go on, hit me, hit me, come on, hit me. Don’t hesitate, Hu Yaode, what are you scared of, fight!"

"I..."

"Coward, are you even a man? You don’t even have the guts for this, I despise you, I truly freaking despise you!"

"I your mom..."

Outside the door, Hu Yaode’s voice came through, almost cursing.

"It’s Zhang Wei!"

Combining the sneering voice from earlier with the sound of Hu Yaode’s infuriated spluttering, Li Qingmu could firmly conclude that the visitor had to be Zhang Wei!

Only he, with a few words, could infuriate someone to the point of spitting blood and going insane.

For a moment, the entire Qingmu Law Firm was abuzz, everyone poking their heads out to check on the situation outside.

They saw, in the corridors of Qingmu Law Firm, Zhang Wei directly confronting the two individuals who had just crossed swords with Li Qingmu.

They were none other than Hu Yaode and Li Meijia—formerly subordinates of Duanmu Heizu, who later betrayed their master for glory and pledged allegiance to Zhang Tianlong.

Of course, Li Meijia was Jia Meili, who, after plastic surgery, became the former.

At this moment, both of them, seeing Zhang Wei reappear, looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Perhaps, seeing Zhang Wei was even more shocking to them than seeing Duanmu Heizu come back to life.

"Zhang Wei, what are you doing here?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Li Qingmu quickly walked out as well.

"Uncle, nothing much, I just came to Chengbei District to see you!"

Zhang Wei said, waving his hand towards Li Qingmu.

"Auntie, no need to hide, I see you, come out!"

Then, he waved to Li Qinghe, who was trying to sneak away in the crowd.

"Ah, it’s Zhang Wei, hello, hahaha..."

Li Qinghe immediately walked out from the crowd, showing an awkwardly embarrassed smile to Zhang Wei.

After the greetings, Zhang Wei’s gaze once again fell on Hu Yaode and Li Meijia.

In their eyes twinkled shock and hatred.

Even after two years had passed, their feud with Zhang Wei remained irreconcilable.

"Lately, you’ve been busy being Zhang Tianlong’s dogs, right? Helping their families suppress the shipping companies in Chengbei District, then having your own companies step in to snatch the market?"

Hu Yaode’s face flickered, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"Old Hu, no need to pretend, it’s useless, everyone knows what you’ve been up to!"

Zhang Wei shook his head, then pulled out a stack of documents from his briefcase.

"I should inform you that the shipping route your company bought, it no longer belongs to you!"

"How can that be? We just bought a full 10-year leasing right last year!"

"But you breached the contract, eh. Your maritime shipping and logistics system have serious safety hazards!"

"How could that be!"

This time, both Hu Yaode and Li Meijia looked at each other in disbelief.

Why does this ploy sound so familiar to them?

Isn’t it exactly the same tactic they used just now in the meeting room against Li Qingmu and his side?

"Our representative company passed the safety quality inspection last quarter!"

"So what if you passed? Please, everyone is running international shipping, naturally, international inspection results are what count!"

"The results from international inspection companies are also without issues."

"The superficial results might be fine, but do you know? International inspections aren’t a mere formality, nor are they about casually examining one or two warehouses—they’ve even inspected the warehouses you hid away!"

"How is that possible, our other warehouses, we all..."

Hu Yaode realized he might have said too much and quickly shut up.

"Right, those hidden warehouses of yours, producing substandard and smuggled goods, of course they can’t be inspected. But don’t worry, I kindly informed them of the locations of those warehouses. Here’s a copy of their latest inspection report, have a look~"

Zhang Wei spoke while thrusting the documents into Hu Yaode’s hands.

The latter hurriedly flipped through it, only to break out in a sweat when he read the results.

Unqualified!

The inspection results in the document were all unqualified!

"Based on this latest inspection report, your representative company has already lost the qualifications to lease that trade route, so it’s inappropriate for you to act so high and mighty here. After all, you’ve lost your confidence!"

Mockery!

Blatant mockery.

Zhang Wei looked at Hu Yaode and Li Meijia, as if watching two clowns.

Stop putting on airs now, your company isn’t even qualified. What the hell are you pretending for!

Perhaps, that was what his gaze was implying.

"You..."

Hu Yaode intended to say something harsh, but Zhang Wei had already ignored the two of them and walked over to Li Qingmu.

"This one, is a reassessment report done by International Quality Inspection for all three of your companies. No problems were found with the inspection, so you can go back to using that route!"

"Is that really true? We can use that route again?"

"Oh, this is great!"

"I knew it, our products and logistics system don’t have any problems. How could there be any safety hazards!"

Li Qingmu hadn’t reacted yet, but the representatives of the three companies all sighed in relief, their faces filled with gratitude.

"Of course, this quality inspection agency was outsourced by the city council, so it’s quite normal for there to be some irregularities. Therefore, I had already prepared a report, and by now, the people from the business investigation department should already be arresting the higher-ups of that inspection company!"

Hearing what Zhang Wei said, Hu Yaode and Li Meijia’s expressions suddenly turned ugly.

"Hold on, just because you say that trade route is fine, they can use it? Even if the company we represent has lost its leasing rights due to breach of contract, how can you..."

"Of course, I can, because the leasing rights for that route now belong to a shipping company under the Niuniu Archipelago. Everything in Niuniu Archipelago is up to me, you heard about it from Zhang Tianlong, right?"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yaode and Li Meijia’s faces darkened once again.

Zhang Wei was the King of Niuniu Archipelago. They had also heard some rumors about this.

However, they had no idea where this country was, what its strengths were, a place they’d never even heard of, what resources could it have?

But unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so fast. Not only was their principal investigated, but Zhang Wei had also grabbed control of their lifeline.

The leasing rights for that route had taken so much effort to secure, and before they could even take advantage of it, it had been thrown away.

"What’s wrong, you two still not leaving, just standing here foolishly doing what?"

Zhang Wei shooed Hu Yaode and Li Meijia away like chasing away dogs with a wave of his hand.

"Zhang Wei, you little bastard, don’t get too smug, we..."

"Anyone can threaten, but no matter how loudly a dog barks, can it bite back at the dog? Obviously, I’m not going to take you seriously!"

"You’re calling us dogs, you..."

Hu Yaode’s face turned beet red, and he couldn’t take it anymore, clutching his chest, which was obviously stricken by rage.

"Zhang Wei, as long as you’re alive, that person will definitely not let you off!"

"Still talking about that person? Jia Meili, you’ll never make it to the big stage. Your big shot is about to struggle to protect himself, so you might as well save your strength!"

Zhang Wei looked at Jia Meili and sneered, but then, as if he’d just thought of something, he took out another document from his briefcase.

"Oh, right, Jia Meili, changing your name to Li Meijia and obtaining a law degree from abroad—I used to find that a bit strange, but now I get it. It was Duanmu Heizu who bribed the law school authorities for you, wasn’t it!"

"You, what are you talking about, you have no proof..."

"You two haven’t forgotten, right? When I, Zhang Wei, make a move, it’s a thunderous one, and I definitely won’t give you any chance to fight back!"

Zhang Wei said, then threw the evidence he held right in Li Meijia’s face.

"Here, there are testimonies from the higher-ups of the law school you graduated from, the records of Duanmu Heizu’s bribe transfers, and your irregular graduation report, Jia Meili. Of course, what I have here are copies. I’ve submitted all this information to the Lawyer’s Association, so now..."

Before Zhang Wei could finish, Li Meijia’s phone suddenly rang.

"Miss Jia Meili, you have been expelled from our Lawyer’s Association due to allegations of academic fraud. We will pursue legal action against you for compensation for reputation damage regarding your fabrication of qualifications. Please be aware of the notifications to follow."

As the phone line went dead, Li Meijia’s face turned ashen, she collapsed to the ground, her gaze completely unfocused.

"Old Hu, could you lend a hand and take her away, thank you!"

Zhang Wei gestured again. Hu Yaode’s face lost all color, but still, he grabbed Li Meijia and slinked away.

If he didn’t escape now, he feared he might drop dead right there from anger.
