Chapter 612: 612: Asking for Fairness

The police came and took away Xue Dalong and others, and Xu Yang had been paying close attention to official developments, noticing that the police had still not moved to arrest Sun Honghai and Dadao.

Xu Yang couldn’t help saying, “It seems that Dadao and Sun Honghai’s networks are exerting their influence, as the police have not immediately moved to arrest Dadao and Sun Honghai.”

Wang Xiaocong frowned, “With public opinion being what it is, the Harbor City police still don’t act. The network of Sun Honghai and Dadao must be incredibly strong.”

Xu Yang sighed, “The Sun Family is one of the Eight Great Families, and 15K has been a gang that’s existed for decades. It seems we’ve underestimated them.”

Wang Xiaocong asked, “So what do we do now?”

Xu Yang immediately thought of a solution, “What else can we do but continue to put pressure on the officials?”

Wang Xiaocong asked, “How do we do that?”

He hadn’t thought of any way.

Xu Yang smiled, “That’s simple, hire a lawyer. You ask one of your friends from Harbor City, ask which lawyer is the most badass, and we’ll hire them.”

Wang Xiaocong’s eyes lit up, “Right, hire a lawyer, let them handle it. I’ll call Song Jingming right away; he’s sure to know which lawyer in Harbor City is the most badass.”

He took out his cellphone and called Song Jingming.

Two minutes later, Wang Xiaocong hung up the phone and spoke to Xu Yang, “They say the most badass lawyer is Ryan from Ryan Law Firm.”

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, “A foreigner?”

Wang Xiaocong nodded, “He’s an American. Song Jingming said the guy’s family came to Harbor City at the turn of the century; his father and grandfather were all gold medal lawyers in Harbor City with a very strong network. With him on board, there definitely won’t be a problem.”

Xu Yang said, “Alright, then let’s have him come over for a talk.”

Wang Xiaocong chuckled bitterly, “This guy has a quirk, all his clients must go to his law office to discuss matters.”

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, “That really is a quirk. He must think he’s really badass and indispensable, huh.”

Wang Xiaocong replied, “I don’t know about that, but that’s his rule. Of course, Song Jingming also mentioned that this Ryan does treat his clients with respect once they’re in the office.”

Xu Yang said, “Alright, then let’s go to his office.”

The two took a Bentley arranged by the hotel to Ryan Law Firm.

Guided by the receptionist, they arrived at Ryan’s office.

Ryan was a tall, thin middle-aged man about fifty years old.@@novelbin@@

About fifty, with blond hair and a handlebar moustache.

His eyes were bright and sharp, exuding shrewdness.

“Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, welcome to my law firm,” Ryan said in fluent Mandarin, even more so than most people from Harbor City.

This surprised Xu Yang.

Thinking about how a star like Zhang Jiahui spoke such poor Mandarin made Ryan’s proficiency all the more impressive.

However, Xu Yang did not intend to praise the other party but got straight to the point, “Lawyer Ryan, Wang Xiaocong already told you about my situation over the phone just now. I’m extremely disappointed that the police haven’t arrested the criminals, and I can only ask for your help now.”

On their way here, Wang Xiaocong had already phoned Ryan’s office to explain the situation to avoid wasting time once they arrived.

Ryan asked, “Thank you for your trust. May I know what your particular request is?”

Xu Yang said, “My request is simple, I only seek justice from the law.”

Ryan nodded, “Understood, the law will certainly give you justice. I’ll make a call to the relevant official personnel right away.”

In front of Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong, he immediately picked up the landline on the desk and made two calls.

After making the two calls, Ryan confidently said, “Mr. Xu, rest assured, the police will soon take action and arrest those two criminals.”

Xu Yang nodded, “Lawyer Ryan, I thought you had a lot of influence, but I didn’t expect it to be this significant. I’m impressed.”

With just two phone calls, he applied pressure to the authorities, prompting the police to take immediate action.

That influence was truly extraordinary.

Ryan smiled proudly, “The Ryan family is a long-established family of lawyers in Harbor City, frequently interacting with official figures, so they do give me some respect.”

After some small talk and learning that the police had already taken action, Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong left after paying a fee of five hundred thousand yuan.

…

A certain apartment.

Sun Honghai had just crawled out of bed.

Last night, after he met with DaDao, he went to a nightclub.

It wasn’t until the morning that he arrived at his lover’s place.

He had slept until now, almost dinner time.

He lit a cigarette, picked up his phone, and intended to call DaDao to ask how the job of crippling Xu Yang’s leg was coming along.

But when he picked up his phone, he realized it had run out of power and had shut down.

With no other choice, he had to use his lover’s charger to recharge his phone.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

His lover wasn’t there, and he didn’t know where she had gone.

If nothing unexpected happened, she should have gone out shopping.

He got dressed and went to answer the door.

“Who are you looking for?”

Seeing several policemen standing outside, Sun Honghai’s heart lurched with an ominous premonition.

“Sun Honghai, you are suspected of hiring someone to commit assault, please come with us for investigation!”

The leading policeman waved his hand and immediately two young policemen came in and handcuffed Sun Honghai.

“Let me go, I didn’t hire anyone to assault anybody, this is slander, I am a member of the Sun Family, how can you treat me like this?!” Sun Honghai struggled and shouted loudly.

“Mr. Sun, we wouldn’t have come to arrest you without solid evidence, I advise you to hire a good lawyer, but even with the best lawyer, it’s futile, prepare to face the punishment of the law,” the leading policeman said coldly.

“Impossible, what evidence do you have, what have I done?” Sun Honghai cried out.

“Looking at you, it seems you still don’t know what’s going on, quite impressive,” the policeman shook his head and laughed, “The fact that you paid DaDao of 15K three hundred million to have Xu Yang’s leg broken is known not just by the people of Harbor City, but by the entire nation.”

“What!” Sun Honghai’s eyes widened in disbelief, “How is that possible, how could this happen!”

“Take him away!” The policeman had no desire to waste words with Sun Honghai and signaled the team to take him away.

Downstairs, a crowd of onlookers gathered, realizing that Sun Honghai was being arrested.

“Hey, what’s Sun Honghai doing here?”

“You don’t know yet, Sun Honghai has a lover here.”

“Can’t believe Sun Honghai got arrested!”

“This guy wanted to hire someone to assault, to cripple a leg of the mainland’s billionaire, it’s no wonder he was arrested!”

“With such a powerful Sun Family, can’t they protect him?”

“Protect what, this has become such a big deal, no one can shield him.”

…

Harbor City, a certain dock.

DaDao, the boss of 15K, disguised himself completely and was ready to first take a yacht to Ao City, then from Ao City, flee to Southeast Asia.

Unfortunately, before he could get onto the yacht, the police stopped him.

“Dadao, you are suspected of intentional assault, please come with us for investigation,” the leading officer said.

“What Dadao, small dao, who are you talking about? I don’t know them, have you mistaken me for someone else?” DaDao still tried to bluff his way through.

“Dadao, don’t think that we can’t recognize you just because you’re in disguise,” the policeman sneered, pulling off the long fake hair on his head, removing his sunglasses, and tearing off the fake beard.

DaDao’s face was bitter; he was at a loss for words.

He had thought that by disguising himself, the police wouldn’t recognize him and he could escape.

But, it turned out to be futile.

If it had been in the past, he would have already fought the police.

But now times were different. If he dared to attack the police, his crime would be even worse.

He did not dare to resist, and could only quietly let the police handcuff and take him away.
