Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 488: Chapter 357: Reverse Thinking! Important Ideas!

Most people are creatures driven by emotion.

Moreover, there’s an interesting phenomenon: when a bad person does a good deed, everyone is very moved.

But if a good person unintentionally does a bad thing, the criticism against them can be overwhelming.

Xu Liang doesn’t consider himself a good person, but that doesn’t stop him from getting attacked.

As he walked out of the Hanhai City Intermediate Court...

The waiting reporters swarmed over instantly!

"Lawyer Xu, could you explain your actions in court?!"

"Does your side believe the defendant is guilty? Do you think this behavior might dishearten the prosecution’s victim’s family?!"

"In court, you attempted to use insanity defenses for Lv Xiong, do you support the idea that someone with mental illness should not face criminal responsibility, Lawyer Xu?"

"Does Lv Xiong actually have mental issues?!"

"Lawyer Xu, do you still remember your oath as a lawyer?!"

"..."

These chaotic voices overwhelmingly entered Xu Liang’s mind.

Yang Ruoxi was momentarily stunned by these voices, her mind blank, buzzing, and her expression gradually turned sour after she recovered.

This is...

Being attacked?!

Usually, only Xu Liang uses public opinion to attack others, when has someone used public opinion to attack him?

Although Xu Liang knew he might be attacked the moment he took on Lv Xiong’s case, he never expected... it to be so overwhelming!

This momentum, anyone unaware might think he did something outrageous.

But it doesn’t matter.

Under countless flashing lights, surrounded by microphones, Xu Liang opened his mouth without any expression:

"I cannot explain the actions in court, only the judge has the right to make judgments."

"Is the defendant guilty? Sorry, I don’t know, all my statements were organized based on facts!"

"Do I support psychiatric exemption from criminal responsibility? I listen to the country, I listen to the court, if they say exempt, then I believe exempt, if they say responsible, then I believe responsible!"

"...."

Xu Liang didn’t flinch at all, using the most bland tone to refute those sharp questions.

After speaking.

The faces of those who raised those questions turned green, they looked at Xu Liang with very unpleasant expressions.

Eventually, someone gritted his teeth and said:

"Lawyer Xu, can your statement above be reported by the media!"

"Moreover... according to the news, it seems that initially it was the victim’s family from the prosecution, Liang Yu who first approached your law firm, but somehow, you accepted the defendant’s commission."

"Has this constituted professional misconduct? Is this trampling on professional ethics?!"

Rumors?

The crowd suddenly had a tense expression, their eyes full of shock at the new information.

They then looked at Xu Liang in disbelief!

The client first commissioned Xu Liang, but Xu Liang turned to the defendant, then joined the defendant to fight against the client....

Isn’t this a violation?!

The official could even punish the law firm, forcing it to cease operations for rectification!

Even if not punished... who would dare send a commission to Xu Liang after this? Heaven knows if he would, like this case, join the defendant to fight against the client.

So, without surprise, if these statements, coupled with the court proceedings, were reported....

The label of an unscrupulous lawyer will be placed on Xu Liang’s head, causing him to slouch for the rest of his life.

But....

Xu Liang paused, he turned to look at the reporter who said this.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

"Report it, I don’t care."

Being a lawyer is always a polarized profession, either your reputation stinks to the extreme, or you are particularly concerned about your image.

But Xu Liang is different.

He doesn’t care about these things, only when he needs a good reputation will he guide public opinion at all costs, once done, he pulls up his pants and leaves without the slightest hesitation!

After finishing his words, he reached out and impatiently pushed aside the pile of microphones beside him.

"Make way!"

He pushed aside several people beside him and then walked away with the two girls.

The group of reporters behind him was somewhat angry, but they did not do anything extreme, they could only watch Xu Liang leave.

Before leaving, Yang Ruoxi paused and turned to give them an eye-roll.

The group of reporters instantly exploded.

"What kind of person... the character is simply poor, an unscrupulous lawyer in the profession... this is naked corruption!"

"Damn it, I misjudged him in the past, even wrote a few positive reports about him!!!"

"Lawyers are like that, before fame they seem ’for the country and the people’, once famous, they don’t even bother pretending, whoever has money, they take the case!"

"Where are the bailiffs? Shouldn’t people like this in the industry be given a punishment?!"

"..."

The sounds filled with fury rang out, but fortunately, this is the entrance of the Hanhai City Intermediate Court, no one dared make trouble.

Soon, this crowd of reporters yet again swarmed toward the plaintiff’s side.

Of course, they also noted this grudge, probably by tomorrow, Xu Liang will see his name loud on various media headlines.

But still the same sentence.

"I don’t care."

At the same time, after leaving the Intermediate People’s Court Xu Liang got into the car, he reached out his hand and rubbed the head of Su Yu beside him, comforting her.

"But, senior brother, this was your hard-earned...."

Su Yu took a deep breath, but she was still sullen.

She had been following Xu Liang since December 2004, not as long as Yang Ruoxi, but also for nearly a year.
