Chapter 1924: I’m a Lawyer. Lawyers are the Best at Skinning

It was also shocking for Xu Baohan.
He expected that Zhao Gui would have someone guiding him, but he never imagined the person turned out to be He Mingqian.
That was, however, the norm. The fact that He Mingqian could humiliate and hurt his ex-girlfriend in public demonstrates his lack of moral integrity. He was probably pushed too hard by Song Ruixue’s lawyer this time. To teach someone like that to repent was pointless because he would not realize that he was wrong. Instead, he would only want revenge on others more ruthlessly.
However, from the judge’s point of view, he was obstructing justice.
“Bohan, I’m sorry,” An Lan apologized bitterly, “I should have settled the issue between us back then. That man is the most despicable person I’d ever come across. Your position now is quite sensitive to our current relationship. He can easily take advantage of you. You are lucky this time, but what if…”
If there was no cushion below or anything went wrong, Xu Baohan’s death would be connected to her.
In that case, she would not forgive herself.
With one hand pressing his temples and the other waving at her, Xu Baohan reassured, “An Lan, don’t overthink. Zhao Gui would still cause a ruckus even if He Mingqian didn’t initiate it. He even used a stool to scold me in court and make a scene at the entrance. It was only a matter of jumping that would have stopped him. I believe that without He Mingqian’s participation, he would have put up a banner at the main entrance saying that I was embezzling and shielding criminals. My reputation will be tarnished if that happens.”
Su Run nodded profusely, “Lawyer An, you didn’t see Zhao Gui grimacing with anger in court. Leader, I believe you should have the police put him behind bars for a few days based on his actions at the time.”
Xu Baohan shook his head, “A person like him, no matter what the reason was, his son was indeed killed, and the murderer escaped prosecution. He must be holding back a great deal of anger. If they were to lock him up now, I’m sure Zhao Gui and his family would think that the law was unfair to them. They would assume that I was protecting a criminal and targeting their family. Based on Zhao Gui’s character, I would be the first person he comes after once released from prison under such circumstances. I wonder what weapon he would bring to look for me?”
Su Run thought about it carefully and shuddered.
An Lan’s hands trembled as she gripped his shoulders.
In fact, Zhao Gui was the type of man who would do something like this. It would be not easy to guard against him when the time came.
Xu Baohan took a deep breath, “Do not stab someone who is already in a desperate situation. A rabbit will bite when it is anxious. Leave some leeway for others. There will always be people hating us after every trial, no matter how well we do.”
For Su Run, this was a valuable lesson. He nodded with agreement, “In that case, He Mingqian can be considered to be obstructing justice. Someone like this should at least have his lawyer’s license revoked.”
Xu Baohan disagreed, “CCTV footage alone is not sufficient evidence. We hold a grudge against each other. He can say that we are imagining things and intentionally aiming for him. Furthermore, what if Zhao Gui underpins the testimony since he hates us so much?”
The woman who was listening to the two men’s conversation began to frown. Her hand gently rubbed his shoulder, “Don’t worry, my lawsuit against He Mingqian will start next month anyway. We will settle another score after he loses this battle. This matter will not be left unattended.”
An Lan inhaled deeply. She promised that if she failed in making He Mingqian’s losing everything entirely, her surname would no longer be ‘An’.
“How about Zhao Gui? As long as we can find some breakthrough from Zhao Gui, everything will be fine.”
A smile spread across her face, “I’m a lawyer. A lawyer’s best skill is skinning.”
