Asshole Lawyer
"Wang Dahai is a lawyer. He is the most famous lawyer in Jianghai City. Many people even give him the title of Jianghai's number one lawyer." Bai Shengtian continued, "Wang Dahai is an outlier in the legal profession. Most lawyers usually only take civil cases and will not take criminal cases unless they have no other choice. Wang Dahai is just the opposite. He rarely takes civil cases and basically only takes criminal cases."
Liu Yunman is a doctor, not a lawyer, so she couldn't figure out the difference between the two, so she asked, "Is there any difference?"
"It's like this. Civil cases are mostly disputes over property. Usually the attorney fees are higher, and there's not much risk involved." Bai Shengtian explained. "On the other hand, criminal cases have very low attorney fees, and if they go wrong they can lead to retaliation, which is more dangerous. Therefore, most lawyers try not to take on criminal cases."
"Since criminal cases don't make money and are so dangerous, why would Wang Dahai specifically take on such cases?" Liu Yunman asked with a bit of surprise.
Bai Shengtian continued to explain: "Criminal cases are usually not profitable, but there are special cases. Some people who have committed crimes are willing to spend a lot of money to avoid going to jail. Some people who have committed capital crimes don't care about spending tens or even hundreds of millions as long as they can survive. Wang Dahai is here to meet the needs of these people."
"Wang Dahai is a very capable lawyer. He is very good at manipulating criminal cases, exploiting legal loopholes, and using illegal means that other lawyers dare not use. For some people who were supposed to spend several years in prison, he might be able to get you a suspended sentence, so that you don't have to spend a day in prison. For some people who were sentenced to death and were supposed to be shot, he might also change it to a suspended death sentence." Huang Anping also said at this time, "A while ago, a guy raped and killed a woman. The Intermediate Court originally sentenced him to death, but when it came to the second instance of the High Court, Wang Dahai changed it to a suspended death sentence. It seems that he somehow bribed the victim's family to forgive them. It is said that he made a net profit of 2 million from this case."
"That's right. In short, this guy is not a good person. As long as you give him money, he will steal anyone and he is not afraid of being struck by lightning." Bai Shengtian said.
Liu Yunman was a little confused: "Isn't he just a lawyer? How come he is so powerful?"
"This is thanks to his wife. Although his wife is plain-looking, his father-in-law is very capable." Bai Shengtian was obviously very familiar with Wang Dahai's situation. "His father-in-law is Zheng Changfeng. He used to work in the court system and is very familiar with legal procedures. He knows how to handle these cases. Moreover, his father-in-law should know a lot of people who dare to do those illegal things, such as threatening witnesses. In short, it was Zheng Changfeng who gave instructions behind the scenes."
After a pause, Bai Shengtian showed an embarrassed look on his face: "Actually, Wang Dahai and I are pretty familiar with each other. He called me this morning and asked me to check if Xia Tian had a criminal record at the court. I thought it was very strange, so I told Xiao An about it. But Xiao An also got the news that Wang Dahai was looking for someone at the police station to check Xia Tian's information."
Hearing this, Huang Anping couldn't help but interject, "By the way, Xia Tian, Xiao Bai said that you were sued? I think the person who sued you was called Liu Qi. What's going on?"
"Oh, that dead monkey is sick." Xia Tian said casually.
"Xia Tian, Xiaobai knows this place in the court very well. If you need help, just ask. Xiaobai is my brother, and we are all family. Don't be polite." Huang Anping did not ask about the details, but patted his chest and assured that he was actually introducing Xiaobai to Xia Tian today. Xiaobai had been wanting to meet Xia Tian, this great man, for a while, but Huang Anping had not found a suitable excuse. This time he found the opportunity.
"No need, I've already found Sister Yunqing to help me with the lawsuit." Xia Tian said quickly. He didn't want anyone else's help. Otherwise, how could he find an opportunity to get Sister Yunqing to be his wife?
Hearing what Xia Tian said, Huang Anping suddenly understood a little bit. Xia Tian had taken a fancy to the beautiful lawyer. Huang Anping knew that Xia Tian always regarded beautiful women as the most important, so he naturally did not dare to ruin his good deeds, so he did not say anything else. What's more, he just wanted Xia Tian to get to know Bai Shengtian today, and now he had achieved his goal.
"Sister Yunman, let's go buy a car now!" Xia Tian actually just came to eat, and now that the meal was over, he decided to take Liu Yunman and leave.
"Yeah, okay." Although Liu Yunman was a little worried about Wang Dahai, she also knew that Xia Tian was not an ordinary person. Since Xia Tian was not worried, she didn't need to take it too seriously.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Huang Anping couldn't help but ask, "Xia Tian, are you going to buy a car?"
"Yes, Sister Yunman's car was damaged last time." Xia Tian nodded.
"That's great. I know a pretty good car dealership and I'm quite familiar with the manager there. How about I take you there to buy it?" Huang Anping said quickly.
"Well, I'm not familiar with it." Xia Tian had no idea about this. Liu Yunman was a little better, but she was not familiar with the car dealership either.
Huang Anping greeted Bai Shengtian again: "Xiaobai, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to change your car? How about going to take a look together?"
"Okay, let's go together." Bai Shengtian nodded. Actually, he didn't want to change cars, but he knew that this was Huang Anping creating an opportunity for him to get acquainted with Xia Tian.
After paying the bill, the four of them walked out of the restaurant. At this moment, a man walked in and met them face to face. Bai Shengtian happened to be walking in front because he planned to drive first.
"Brother Bai, what a coincidence!" When this person saw Xiao Bai for the first time, he immediately smiled and looked very enthusiastic.
Bai Shengtian looked a little embarrassed and greeted the visitor: "Lawyer Wang, are you here to eat too?"
It turns out that this person is none other than Wang Dahai, whom everyone was discussing just now. As the saying goes, enemies often meet in a narrow road. This is absolutely true. We can even meet each other while having a meal.
"Yes, I made an appointment with a friend. Brother Bai, you are also with a friend..." Wang Dahai said as he turned to look at the others. Then his sight fell on Xia Tian. The smile on his face disappeared completely. His eyes turned a little gloomy when he looked at Bai Shengtian. "Brother Bai, are these people your friends?"
Wang Dahai was asking these people, but there was obviously only one person he was asking, and that was Xia Tian. At this moment, Wang Dahai was also looking at Xia Tian.
"Yes, Lawyer Wang, they are all my friends." Bai Shengtian also risked his life, and added at the end, "very good friends."
"Very good, Brother Bai, you are such a good friend!" Wang Dahai snorted coldly, said this, and walked into the restaurant.
Bai Shengtian showed a bitter smile, he knew very well that Wang Dahai had already held a grudge against him, but there was nothing he could do about it, as the saying goes, there is gain and loss, he wanted to have a good relationship with Xia Tian, so offending Wang Dahai was inevitable.
"Xia Tian, Dr. Liu, Xiao An, get in the car." Bai Shengtian didn't dwell on this matter. He opened the door and asked everyone to get in.
Since Wang Dahai didn't bother him, Xia Tian naturally had no mood to pay attention to such a small character. He pulled Liu Yunman into the car, and soon the car drove towards the car Huang Anping mentioned.
Century Car Dealership is one of the most famous car dealerships in Jianghai City. This car dealership provides cars of various grades. Whether you want to buy a Beijing Hyundai worth one hundred thousand, a BMW worth millions, or even a Ferrari Lamborghini worth several million, you can buy it here.
The manager of the car dealership was Tong Gao, who was in his forties. He was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. When he saw Huang Anping, he greeted him warmly: "Officer Huang, what brings you here? Please take a seat. Please take a seat. I'll pour you some water..."
"Manager Tong, this is not the first time we've dealt with each other, so don't be so polite. I have two friends who want to buy a car. You can just help recommend a few suitable models." Huang Anping pointed at Xia Tian and Liu Yunman.
"Okay, no problem. I'll take good care of them." Tong Gao glanced at Xia Tian and Liu Yunman. Liu Yunman's beauty made him dazed for a moment, but he came to his senses immediately and hurriedly greeted Xia Tian and Liu Yunman, "Sir, Miss, what kind of car do you want to buy?"
Xia Tian had no idea what was going on, so he could only ask Liu Yunman, "Sister Yunman, what kind of car do you want to buy?"
"Or, how about buying an Elantra? I've been driving that one before." Liu Yunman said after a moment of hesitation. Although she had Xia Tian's one million, she had never thought of really using it all to buy a car. Even though she was Xia Tian's woman now and could spend his money with a clear conscience, she couldn't waste his money. Moreover, for her, the Elantra would be fine. Although it was not a good car, it was fine to use it to commute to work.
When Tong Gao heard that Liu Yunman wanted to buy Elantra, he did not show any contempt for her, but was still enthusiastic: "Miss, Elantra is over there, I will take you to have a look!"
Liu Yunman was about to nod, but Xia Tian suddenly interrupted, "Don't buy that car, it's too fragile!"
"Then what car do you think we should buy?" Liu Yunman asked helplessly. A car that costs less than 100,000 yuan, how can you expect it to withstand many crashes?
Xia Tian thought for a moment and asked, "Sister Yunman, what kind of car did the guy who crashed your car last time drive?"
"That's a BMW X6," Liu Yunman replied.
"Okay, then let's buy a BMW X6." Xia Tian made the decision immediately.
"Ah?" Liu Yunman was stunned, then quickly shook her head, "No, that car is very expensive."
"Is it expensive?" Xia Tian turned and looked at Tong Gao.
"It's not very expensive. We happen to have one now and you can pick it up at any time. The price is about one million." Tong Gao replied quickly.
"It's only one million, not expensive at all." Xia Tian curled his lips, and then said to Tong Gao: "Take us to see the car, and we will buy it!"
