Are You Crazy? He's only an Intern Lawyer?-Chapter 70 - 69 Wang Yuqing’s Follow-up, Heizu’s Invitation

Old Xing naturally chimed in, followed by Xia Qianyue, who also jumped up to celebrate, with Ah Ni joining in as well.

Apart from them, Tamu didn’t watch the live broadcast and didn’t even smile, still sitting in his original spot with that fierce look on his face.

However, Wu Yong’s next words made him laugh.

“Today’s a great day, let’s go, we’ll continue at the barbecue stall tonight, my treat, and I’ll cover all the drinks!”

“Hehe, the captain is so generous!”

Tamu might not like other things, but he’s definitely eager when it comes to drinking and eating meat.

Hearing what Wu Yong said, Tamu was also pleased.

Leaving aside the jubilant mood of Team 7, the atmosphere in the adjacent Serious Crime Team 1 seemed a bit more somber.

“Captain Lin, the suspect Tan Xiuwen has been escorted over by the court guard from the city court!”

When her subordinate reported to Lin Ruonan, she didn’t feel the excitement of capturing a suspect.

Because this suspect didn’t get caught by their team, he had confessed on his own!

Although the case was solved and the real murderer who killed Councilor Yang and spouse was found, they weren’t the ones who found him.

It was the defense lawyer who used layers of evidence in court to break his psychological defenses, leading the suspect to confess in court before being delivered to them.

Upon hearing the report that Tan Xiuwen had been transferred to them, Lin Ruonan’s expression wasn’t very pleasant.

Fortunately, she was not Captain Lei Hu of Team 1, otherwise, he might have been furious and raged in impotence.

Considering that their suspect Wang Yuqing was completely innocent, this was a slap in the face to their investigative department.

“I never thought our Serious Crime unit would also have a day when we’d be outdone!”

Lin Ruonan lamented a sentence and went to complete the procedures for handing over the suspect with her subordinates.

However, she also remembered Zhang Wei, the guy who had slapped their Serious Crime unit in the face.

…

East University, Dean’s Office.

“This kid, he’s f*cking awesome~”

Yang Qingquan was known for his usual reserved composure, but at this moment, when he saw the not guilty verdict, he lost his composure.

It wasn’t for any other reason, but sheer excitement.

Fortunately, he was alone in his office, with no one to witness the swear word that escaped him in his excitement.

“I have to say, Xiao Luo found a good lawyer, to overturn a case like this, the level of courtroom skill and investigative effort, simply amazing!

Who would have thought that he, Zhang Wei, was just a recent graduate from our university!”

Yang Qingquan couldn’t help but be amazed that Zhang Wei had once again created a miracle.

“Zhang Wei, you have the makings of a top-notch lawyer~”

He sighed, looking out the window, his gaze drifting off into the distance.

Still at East University.

Only this time in a different office.

“Damn—”

When Professor Zheng Qian saw the moment of the not guilty verdict, he couldn’t hold back and burst out with a swear word.

The annoyance in his heart had been building up to infinity and finally reached the moment of explosion.

Even though there was someone sitting across from him, he couldn’t help himself.

Luckily, the person sitting opposite was Yuan Dong, one of his own, so no need to be concerned.

“Why did this kid win, I f*#$…&%!!!”

Professor Zheng grabbed an inkstone from his desk, looking like he was about to throw it.

“Professor, that’s a purple robe jade inkstone worth forty-five thousand!”

Upon seeing the inkstone, Yuan Dong quickly spoke up to stop him.

Hearing that the object in his hand was worth forty-five thousand, Professor Zheng’s movements paused slightly.

He then carefully set the inkstone back down and suddenly grabbed a purple-clay teacup, about to smash it forcefully to the ground.

“Professor, you mustn’t do that, that’s from my father, who got it from Longdu, 150,000 yuan!”

Professor Zheng indicated that if it weren’t for the 150,000 yuan shock, the porcelain would have left his hand 0.1 seconds earlier.

He could only put the porcelain back in place; with a fierce look in his eyes, he walked over to the corner display and picked up a vase.

However, before throwing it down, Professor Zheng still glanced at Yuan Dong, his eyes questioning.

“This one isn’t expensive, 8,000…”

Bang!

The vase hit the ground and shattered into pieces.

“Damn it, it’s still not enough, I’m still furious!” Smashing a vase worth 8,000 yuan didn’t quell Professor Zheng Qian’s anger; he wanted to smash something else.

He walked back to his office and grabbed two metal balls from his drawer, which he used to keep his fingers nimble.

“Shit!”

Professor Zheng roared and hurled the iron balls away.

Seeing this, Yuan Dong quickly dodged, fearing that the iron balls might hit him.

Although the health balls were cheap, they were made of iron, and his head couldn’t afford the impact.

Crack!

The iron balls flew out and hit something.

Yuan Dong looked towards the desk and saw that the health balls had bounced off the wall and struck the teacup on the desk.

“My 150,000 yuan teacup, my 150,000 yuan…”

This time, it was Professor Zheng Qian who felt the pain, his face twisted with agony, his rage turning into sorrow, his heartache as if it were being cut by a knife.

“It’s all Zhang Wei’s fault!”

Finally, Zheng Qian shouted angrily, his hatred for someone intensifying.

If Zhang Wei were here, he would surely cry out in grievance.

…

Blackfoot Law Firm.

Due to Zhang Wei’s victory, aside from Professor Zheng Qian, there was another person who was also enraged.

That was Hu Yaode from the Blackfoot Law Firm, who could sense something was amiss as soon as Zhang Wei subpoenaed Tan Xiuwen again.

When Zhang Wei started his solo performance, presenting one piece of evidence after another against Professor Tan, Hu Yaode crumbled as well.

As Professor Tan lost control in court and exposed all the evidence, he had already thrown his computer screen across the room.

“Shit!”

Hu Yaode was a bit more restrained than Zheng Qian, apart from smashing the computer screen, he didn’t make any other excessive actions.

At least a monitor is cheap…

But his dark, gloomy eyes said it all.

“What is the Procuratorate Headquarters doing, letting that kid find a loophole, I’ll be damned…”

Hu Yaode’s fists clenched tight, his nails digging painfully into his flesh, amplifying his anger, and he ground his teeth with fury but found himself powerless.

Because Zhang Wei wasn’t afraid of him, Hu Yaode!

Hu Yaode wanted to deal with Zhang Wei, but couldn’t find a way.

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration flashed through his mind.

“Someone!” he called out to the outside of his office, and an assistant hurried in immediately.

“Lawyer Hu, at your service!” the assistant didn’t look at the shattered monitor on the floor but saluted respectfully, waiting for instructions.

“Go and draft an invitation for me, say that we at Blackfoot have taken an interest in this kid Zhang Wei and invite him to join our firm!”

“Ah, Lawyer Hu, you, this…”

The assistant was dumbfounded upon hearing Hu Yaode’s order.

Isn’t that Zhang Wei the one who offended you?

Why would you invite him to join Blackfoot?

Isn’t this totally backward?

“What do you know, that kid is on cloud nine right now, and we at Blackfoot are one of the Top Ten Firms, inviting him is a mark of respect, how could he possibly refuse!”

Hu Yaode snorted coldly and dismissed the assistant.

“Zhang Wei, I can’t deal with you right now, but once you join Blackfoot, it’ll be a piece of cake to control you!”

So that was his plan.

But he was destined to be disappointed because Zhang Wei had no intention of joining Heizu at all; in fact, he had already selected his target, just waiting for a recommendation letter.

And unlike some others who had their defenses broken, many people were actually happy about Zhang Wei’s court victory.

…

United Financial Building.

On the 41st floor, Jessica’s Office.

Today was the day of the trial, and Jessica had her assistant Cui Xi cancel all appointments so she could concentrate on watching Zhang Wei’s trial.

Reclining lazily in her plush chair, Jessica finally put down her tablet when the court announced Wang Yuqing’s acquittal.

Upon standing up, she stretched leisurely to dispel the tiredness from her body.

Having watched the live broadcast for so long, she didn’t feel sleepy at all, and although she was a bit worried at the beginning, the excitement surged in her as well when she saw Zhang Wei’s comeback from an impossible situation.

“Zhang Wei, you always bring me the unbelievable, and you’ve created a miracle once again.

I’m starting to appreciate you more and more…”

Jessica walked to the window, admiring the bustle of Dongfang Capital City Center, but her gaze drifted toward the Blacksmith Technology Tower not far ahead.

“I wonder how Mr.

Zhao is doing, to be favored by him, you must rely on your own capabilities…”

Jessica guessed correctly; Zhao Qingyan was also watching the live broadcast at this moment.

Blacksmith Technology, Research and Development Department.

“Good lad, to turn the situation around like that is truly worthy of Little Zhang.

Incredible!”

Seeing the trial’s outcome, Zhao Qingyan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, clapping his hands on the spot.

On one hand, he really hadn’t misjudged the person—Zhang Wei’s ability was simply outrageous.

This once again proved his own judgement, for he had perceived this young man’s potential and now he had tackled a case that was nearly impossible to reverse.

“Next time there’s a case, if the legal department has trouble resolving it, it looks like I won’t have to worry.

Going to that young man will definitely be the right choice!”

“With the potential of this young man, he’s sure to become a great lawyer, possibly even getting close to the members of the Lin Family!”

Zhao Qingyan remarked with emotion and also walked to the window, looking towards another building in the city center.

That building was also a skyscraper, some distance from Blacksmith Technology with other buildings in the way, only allowing a glimpse of the golden letters atop the building.

“Jincheng,” those were the two unobstructed characters.

…

All in all, the trial was over.

Zhang Wei bid farewell to Professor Luo Feixiang and promptly took the subway back to the Lin Mansion.

He moved quickly, even taking a shortcut through the emergency exit, so that the media and some lawyers who sought to connect with him failed to notice he had left.

Returning to the Lin Mansion, Zhang Wei went back to his room.

“Knock knock knock!” Just as he lay down, someone knocked on his door.

“Second Miss, what’s up?”

Zhang Wei quickly called out.

“Hmph, don’t call me Second Miss!”

The door half-opened, and Xiao Xiao’s little head poked out, somewhat angry, even baring a small canine tooth.

“All right, Second Miss, got it, Second Miss!” Zhang Wei chuckled and teased with a grin.

“You…

” Xiao Xiao was angered, her intended words replaced by frustration.

But although she was angry, she also knew that Zhang Wei had thick skin and that she couldn’t outtalk him.

“Forget it, I didn’t come here to waste words with you.

I just wanted to say congratulations, hmph!”

Xiao Xiao left these words and slammed the door as she returned upstairs.

“Second Miss is cold on the outside but warm on the inside!”

Zhang Wei muttered to himself and lay down quietly, closing his eyes.

He had expended a lot of energy in today’s trial and needed a nap to recover.

…

When Zhang Wei woke up, it was already the next day, Thursday.

He made a big pot of chicken leg porridge for himself and Xiao Xiao, but he didn’t eat it right away, instead bringing Xiao Xiao’s portion up to her.

After a full meal, he then left the Lin Mansion.

“Zhang Wei, congratulations!” As he arrived at the entrance of Zhang’s Martial Arts School, Sister Xiao Wu seemed to have been waiting there, congratulating Zhang Wei.

“Sister Xiao Wu watched the live broadcast too?” Zhang Wei was slightly surprised.

He had thought Sister Xiao Wu was too captivated by martial arts to watch the trial broadcast.

Just then, Lu Ma stepped out, preparing to go grocery shopping.

“Young man, you have no idea.

Our miss spent the whole day glued to the TV yesterday.

When you won the case, she even shouted in excitement.

She was so happy~”

“Lu Ma, what are you talking about!” Hearing Lu Ma say this, Sister Xiao Wu’s pretty face turned red, and she quickly ran back into the school, embarrassed.

“Young man, I won’t chat now, I’ve got to go to the market to buy groceries!”

Lu Ma smiled at Zhang Wei and left as well.

Zhang Wei touched his nose, puzzled by Sister Xiao Wu’s behavior, which seemed off.

This was not typical of her identity as a martial arts instructor; how had she suddenly become like a young girl?

“Forget it, let’s go for a run.

Gotta keep up with the daily exercise; can’t get sloppy!”

Zhang Wei thought about it and began his daily exercise.

When he returned to Lin Mansion after running a lap, he found a delivery person standing at the door.

“Excuse me, are you Mr.

Zhang Wei?”

“Yes, I am.”

“Here’s your package.

Please sign for it!”

“Could it be the recommendation letter that’s arrived?”

Zhang Wei looked at the package in the delivery person’s hands, quickly signed for it, and then took two envelope bags.

He went back to his room and opened the first envelope.

As expected, the first one was from Luo Feixiang.

It contained a recommendation letter and an explanatory letter.

Luo Feixiang had told Zhang Wei that he had already spoken with an old friend and that Zhang Wei could report to Jincheng Law Firm after the New Year with the recommendation letter in hand.

The beginning of the year was always the time when the major law firms recruited newcomers, and Jincheng would also conduct their first recruitment then.

“Looks like the New Year is almost here!”

In early January, Zhang Wei had been busy with Wang Yuqing’s case.

With February approaching and the year coming to an end, he had seen when running that Spring Festival couplets were already plastered on the Sifang Gate Street, and some places even hung up big red lanterns.

Unfortunately, he used to spend every New Year alone.

“Right, what’s the other letter about?”

Curious, Zhang Wei opened the second envelope.

But when he saw what was inside, he was completely baffled.

It turned out to be a solicitation letter from Blackfoot Law Firm.

The letter was issued in the name of Blackfoot Firm, simply stating that they appreciated Zhang Wei’s defense capabilities and wished to invite him to join their firm.

The letter was quite ordinary, no different from a typical company recruitment letter, and Zhang Wei didn’t notice anything amiss.

However, he suspected that it might be a trick from Hu Yaode.

Because the Top Ten Firms typically wouldn’t actively recruit newcomers like this, even sending out recruitment letters was almost unheard of.

The Top Ten Firms stood high above, with newcomers eagerly seeking their acceptance.

For a Top Ten Firm to suddenly change their attitude and actively recruit someone was unusual unless that person had extraordinary qualities.

Zhang Wei’s performance, indeed, might meet the criteria.

Still, why would Blackfoot, of all firms, invite him?

Not Xicheng, not Yongjie, not any of the others, but Blackfoot, where he had an enemy?

He suspected that Hu Yaode was involved in this.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Keeping him close and then plotting in the dark to deliver a fatal blow and completely crush him…

Though Zhang Wei was not a petty man, that didn’t prevent him from guessing others’ intentions, especially someone like Hu Yaode.

The man seemed the shady type, or else he wouldn’t have gotten involved with Jia Meili.

There must be something fishy if there was no trap.

“Heh, if it were before, I might have considered it.

After all, joining the Top Ten Firms like Blackfoot means skipping over Beginner’s Village, which is a million times better than joining some legal clinic.

But now…”

Zhang Wei flicked the recommendation letter with his finger, producing a “tap tap” of successive crisp sounds.

Now that he held the recommendation letter from Jincheng Law Firm, did he need to be wary of Blackfoot’s mood?

That would be laughable, wouldn’t it?

If I can join Jincheng, ranked first among the Top Ten Firms, why would I join Blackfoot, which is at the bottom?

Zhang Wei put Blackfoot’s recruitment letter under the table leg, as he just happened to need something to steady the table, and the letter was a perfect fit!

That night.

Xia Qianyue, who he hadn’t seen for a long time, sent Zhang Wei a message on WeChat.

Xia Qianyue: “Zhang Wei, the time has been set.

It’s this Saturday.

Don’t forget, okay?

You promised me!”

Zhang Wei: “Oh, going to meet the in-laws, right?

How could I possibly forget?” followed by an “evil grin.”

Xia Qianyue: “Go die!” followed by “hammering” emojis.

Zhang Wei: “Mercy, heroine!

This mortal knows his mistake.” followed by “kneeling.”

Xia Qianyue: “Seeing that you admit your error with a good attitude, I, the heroine, will magnanimously spare you this time.” followed by a “pouting.”

Zhang Wei: “Alright, then see you this weekend” followed by a “smile.”

Xia Qianyue: “See you this weekend!”

After putting down his phone, Zhang Wei chuckled to himself.

Looks like he’ll be busy this weekend, as he’s going to meet Xia Qianyue’s parents.

That’s quite a big step.

However, he felt slightly awkward about it.

Because he had always regarded Xia Qianyue as a beloved daughter, and now he was about to meet her parents, what did that make him?

I’m a father, and so is the other person…

A godfather meeting the biological father?
