Chapter 749: 574 Bend the enemy’s forces without fighting (Ask for monthly votes!)

"Attorney Fang, thank you."

As Wei Wei drove back from Yanjiao, those eyes tinged with a numb smile incessantly haunted her mind, refusing to dissipate.

Because the criminal facts were clear, Guan Libing had been transferred to the detention center and would soon face the judgment of fate.

At the bottom of the law firm building.

Fang Qing sat in her car for a while to compose herself before heading upstairs.

"Fang Qing, you were out of sight all day, where did you go?"

When she returned to her desk, her curious colleague from the next cubicle asked.

This colleague was also a young woman, merely two years older than Fang Qing, a graduate from Jing University, a definitive elite among the public, but in the talent-concentrated Tianhe Law Firm, she wasn’t particularly outstanding and had relatively little experience.

Because of this, she had no airs about her and was on fairly good terms with Fang Qing, who had joined the law firm not long ago.

"I went to Yanjiao."

Fang Qing replied succinctly.

The other didn’t probe any further; after all, every profession has its rules, and everyone has their own cases to deal with. Even within the same law firm, it’s not common to pry too much.

"Attorney Ding just came looking for you and didn’t find you. He asked you to stop by his office when you return."

"Thank you."

Fang Qing put down her bag and stood up to head to Ding He’s office.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come in."

Fang Qing opened the door, "Attorney Ding, you were looking for me?"

Ding He, who was flipping through case files, looked up and said, "Come in."

Fang Qing closed the door and walked over.

"Sit."

Ding He put down the files, "Did you go to see Guan Libing?"

Sitting down, Fang Qing nodded, "Yes, he has entrusted me to be his defense attorney."

Ding He twirled his fingers but didn’t chide her for taking the initiative.

"Fang Qing, I know you have a sense of justice, which is a fundamental quality for a lawyer, but to be a good lawyer, passion alone is not enough. I just have one question for you, you are still an intern, are you eligible to conduct a criminal defense?"

"No."

As a graduate from the University of Political Science and Law, Fang Qing was of course thoroughly familiar with the relevant legal regulations.

"That’s why I need the firm to provide a certification for me."

"Nonsense."

Ding He rebuked sharply, "Do you think you can fudge your way through this? If it’s discovered, do you know the consequences? Your career might be finished before it even starts! In our profession, if we cannot first be responsible to ourselves, how can we talk of being responsible for others?"

"Attorney Ding, besides me, no one is willing to take this case. If we leave it to legal aid, then Guan Libing is as good as dead." Fang Qing spoke calmly.

As everyone knows.

If you can’t afford a lawyer after committing a crime, you may be provided with legal assistance on humanitarian grounds.

But clearly, those free attorneys can hardly match the expertise of a professional law firm.

If you accept legal assistance, what the final verdict will be can only be left to fate.

"Do you think you can change the situation by stepping in?" Ding He asked.

"Guan Libing committed murder in broad daylight and violently resisted law enforcement. The nature of his crimes is heinous with a profoundly serious social impact. I have no objection to you gathering evidence for his defense, but I don’t consent to you taking on the case."

"Attorney Ding, I want to give it a try."

Fang Qing’s composed tone contained an unwavering resolve, "I just met with Guan Libing, and I’ve already promised him. If I give up on this case because I’m afraid of trouble, it would cast a shadow over my entire life that I could never erase. Attorney Ding, I hope you can understand."

Ding He showed a hint of helplessness but, at the same time, felt conflicted admiration for the qualities she displayed.

He leaned forward, hands crossed and resting on the desk.

"Fang Qing, you have no personal connection to him, is it worth it?"

"Attorney Ding, when I first joined the firm, you told me that the vitality of law and the sacred duty of a legal professional lie not only in logic but also in life and experience. A lawyer’s mind should not only be filled with statutes; faced with endless individual cases, we must discover and realize justice under the principle of justice, within the scope of relevant provisions, and amidst the facts of life."

"So, I’m doing this not just for Guan Libing."

Lawyers are renowned for their eloquence.

And not to mention someone like Ding He, who had already made a name for himself.

How many times had he passionately and eloquently argued in court, but now, facing his own assistant, he was suddenly at a loss for words.

"I didn’t expect you to remember my words so clearly."

In the end, he let out a wry smile.

"Attorney Ding, please help me," Fang Qing said.

Looking at her, Ding He visibly struggled, then took off his glasses and exhaled.

"You really do have a knack for lawyering, managing to leave me at a loss on how to persuade you otherwise."

"It’s because of your good guidance, Attorney Ding."

Though it should have been a joke, Fang Qing’s expression was very serious.

Ding He couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"To take on this case, you’re really pulling out all the stops, even resorting to flattery."

Fang Qing also smiled slightly.

Ding He pinched his glasses, his expression growing more solemn.

"I can agree to you taking the case, but the method you mentioned is absolutely not feasible. I can write a report, submit it to the relevant departments, and allow you to advance to full attorney status ahead of schedule."

After all, law is nothing without human sentiment.

According to regulations, intern lawyers are required to go through a year of internship before qualifying, but with Ding He’s connections in the field, shortening this period would not prove too difficult.

"Thank you."
