38. She turned out to be a witness
He asked coldly: "Lawyer Qiao, what do you mean is that you are not sure about this case?"
Qiao Yifu became even more uneasy and whispered: "Yes...yes.... Mr. Xiang, if you...you want to change a lawyer, I...I have no objection. Some lawyers in our office handle such criminal defense cases, which are very...very experienced. I guarantee that they can...win the lawsuit, really."
Xiang Yuxuan stared at him with deep eyes, also weighed him, and even more weighed what he wanted to say.
He was silent for a moment and said steadily: "Lawyer Qiao, you can see that you are very honest, this is very good. Let me tell you this, first, I don't want my daughter to know that I came to you today. Second, whether to change a lawyer or not is not something I can decide. Finally, third, I hope you can win this small lawsuit. Lawyer Qiao, this should be a small lawsuit, right?"
Qiao Yifu looked at him carefully and said, "Yes... it's a small lawsuit, it's really a small one. Mr. Xiang, I... I'm going to be honest, the case is... it was very simple, and generally speaking, it's almost a must-win. But you may not have imagined that there is... a little trouble, it's quite... quite difficult to deal with."
Xiang Yuxuan asked calmly: "What kind of trouble is it? Can you tell me?"
Qiao Yifu said: "Your daughter, and... her private guards, are all people with kung fu. They are very powerful. They can deal with those three people in a few...a few strokes."
Xiang Yuxuan smiled, patted his legs and said, "Of course I know this. If I don't have any skills, I wouldn't ask her to be an escort, don't you?"
Qiao Yifu also smiled, "Yes, yes. So, this point is very...it's easy to be used. On the surface, it was the three young people who were provoking trouble and bullying girls. However, they were all...injured and sent to the hospital. This...it's also easy to be said to be Miss Xiang and the others' defenses, or, they were...intentional injuries."
Xiang Yuxuan said: "Lawyer Qiao, although the case is not big, I hope you will win the lawsuit. If the fee needs to be increased, I can pay. I heard that some lawyers may charge 810,000, or even 100,000 or 20,000 yuan for handling such cases. Lawyer Qiao, I am willing to pay 100,000 yuan!"
Qiao Yifu hurriedly waved to him, "No, no, I should collect as much as I should. Just..."
Xiang Yuxuan reached out to stop him and said seriously: "Lawyer Qiao, I'm going to be clearer. My requirement is that you must win this small lawsuit! You must win! I tell you that I also have some abilities. If you can't win, I will tell you that you will never become a lawyer again from now on!"
Qiao Yifu looked at him in shock, completely unaware of Mr. Xiang’s meaning, “But…but, why?”
Xiang Yuxuan stared at him and was silent for a moment, and finally slowed down and said, "Lawyer Qiao, let me tell you the truth. You have your troubles, and I have my troubles too. The troubles between you and me are my daughter. For some reasons, I can't explain why to you, but you must win the lawsuit, and there is no room for negotiation! Lawyer Qiao, you have arrived, and I have made it clear. You can get off the car."
The car stopped on the street and was at the door of Jincheng Law Firm.
Qiao Yifu got out of the car dizzy and looked at the car away dementia.
He is really trapped in a fog now.
Qiao Yifu returned to his consultation room and thought about the small case of the "Silver Sand Lobby" Cafe again, but still couldn't think of a good idea. He couldn't win such a small case, or even had no choice. This would have a great impact on his future lawyer career.
What if Yi Yuan was angry and kicked him out of the law firm, what would he do in the future!
Now it seems that he can only ask someone for advice. The only person he can ask for advice seems to be the director of the law firm, Mr. Zhang. In this way, he brought all the information about the case into Mr. Zhang's office.
Unexpectedly, Lawyer Zhang's eyes were as sharp as a raging one. He just looked through the case file in his hand and said to the point: "Xiao Qiao, then, those two girls can do martial arts?"
Qiao Yifu looked at him with restraint and pain, and whispered: "Yes."
Lawyer Zhang handled big cases, so he took such small cases seriously and said: "In this way, it may be a bit difficult to win your small case, but it is indeed a bit difficult."
Qiao Yifu said: "Look, is there any other way? How can I win?"
Lawyer Zhang casually said: "You can just fight and watch it, it's a bit difficult. However, in such a small case, the other party only suffered a little injury. Even if he lost, it would be nothing great. At worst, it would be a matter of paying one or two thousand yuan. It doesn't matter. Xiao Qiao, just fight and watch it."
Qiao Yifu asked for advice but it was useless and could only look at him in distress.
That night, Qiao Yifu suffered from insomnia when he was lying in bed.
The house he rented was a one-bedroom apartment. Next to the door was the bathroom, and there was a small room inside. A large bed occupied half of the area. In front of the window was his desk, which had an old laptop on the table.
He read books and consulted materials, and they were all on this table.
Only a small sofa for two people can be placed beside the wall. Near the door, there is a simple stove and cupboard. In addition, nothing can be placed.
He lay on the bed, and the faces of Lawyer Zhang and Xiang Yuxuan appeared alternately in front of him.
Lawyer Zhang said: "Even if you lose such a small case, it's nothing. You can beat me."
Xiang Yuxuan said, "Lawyer Qiao, you must win the lawsuit, there is no room for negotiation!"
He looked at the roof dementedly, feeling extremely distressed. He fell asleep almost when it was almost dawn.
The next day, Qiao Yifu barely got up and went to work.
His mind was still groggy, and he couldn't read a word of the book in front of him. He thought in pain, what should I do?
When he raised his head, he was shocked and could hardly believe his eyes.
At the door of the consultation room, a young and beautiful girl, with her big black eyes open, was looking at him motionlessly. To be more precise, she was looking at him.
For at least one minute, none of them spoke, just stared at each other.
For the smart Roland, she could tell at a glance that the person in front of her was an ordinary little lawyer. His messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and his blinking eyes looked stupid.
Brother Shazi was right. The girl named Xiang Yufei really didn't want to win the lawsuit. She actually found the cheapest and least capable little lawyer.
Qiao Yifu didn't say anything because he was surprised.
In the past few days, he actually saw the beautiful girl he would only see in his life.
The one in front of me may not have grown up yet. If it weren't for her big black and deep eyes, he would have thought she was a middle school student. He thought, would she have a lawsuit too?
The beautiful Roland stood at the door, looked at him quietly, and then reached out and knocked on the open door.
Qiao Yifu was a little more awake and asked, "You...are you going to... a lawsuit?"
Roland stared at him quietly, but said, "May I ask, is Lawyer Qiao here?"
Qiao Yifu was even more surprised and opened his mouth and said, "Ah, yes, yes, I am Qiao Yifu. Are you your surname?"
Roland looked at him with some confusion and said, "My surname is Luo, Roland. Are you really Lawyer Qiao?"
Qiao Yifu nodded hard to her, "Yes, yes, I am."
Roland asked again: "Joe Yifu? Lawyer Qiao? Is it you?"
Qiao Yifu blinked and thought to himself, why do everyone know my name?
He nodded again and said seriously: "Yes, it's me."
Roland seemed to have finally confirmed this, slowly walked towards the table, still looking at him calmly.
She said: "Okay, Lawyer Qiao, this is the case. I read the court announcement today, which is about someone fighting in the cafe in the 'Silver Sand Lobby' a few days ago. Are you the defense lawyer?"
Qiao Yifu opened his mouth and looked at her in surprise, "It's me. Please sit down, you... do you know that?"
Roland said quietly: "Yes, I was there at the scene."
This situation is a big surprise for Qiao Yifu. She turned out to be a witness!
God! What I need most now is witnesses!
He pulled the chair for her in a panic, took a paper cup and took a cup of hot water for her, put it in front of her, and asked carefully: "You...have you seen everything about that night?"
Roland stared at him and pointed to the chair opposite, "Lawyer Qiao, please sit down too."
Qiao Yifu sat down in a panic as if he was a visitor, and then looked at her with a silly look.
Roland looked at him silently and whispered: "I happened to be there that night."
"'Silver Sand Lobby' Cafe?" Qiao Yifu asked hurriedly.
"Yes. At that time, I saw a few people who made trouble with the two girls, cursed and beat them. I was really angry at that time. Those people were too inappropriate, don't you think? Today, I saw that the court announcement said that they sued the two girls. Lawyer Qiao, I was very angry and didn't want them to be such a cheap one. So, now I just want to be a witness for those two girls."
Qiao Yifu's eyes widened, "Then... did you see all the process that night?"
Roland said quietly, "Yes, I have seen it all. If you need a witness, I can testify."
Qiao Yifu was overjoyed, grinned and smiled silly.
Next, he carefully asked about what happened in the "Silver Sand Gate" cafe that night.
It's really a place where I searched for it, and the witness was right in front of him.
He said happily: "Oh, Miss Luo, you...you are so...so righteous. You...you leave a phone number and wait until the court time is set, I...I will notify you. We are a simple procedure, very fast, and it will definitely not...it will not delay your time."
