Chapter 286: How About I Help You Put the Opposing Lawyer in Jail Too?
"Mr. Luo, please have a seat!"
"I don't know why you are visiting the students today. As long as it does not involve official business, I will do everything I can to assist you!"
In the teahouse, Long Zhen, surprised and honored, invited Mr. Luo San to sit.
He had never imagined that Professor Luo San would come to his criminal police team.
He hadn't seen Professor Luo San since graduating from Huaxia Political University with a degree in criminal investigation, almost four years ago.
Professor Luo San's sudden visit today excited him yet made him anxious.
He was excited because he was seeing his former mentor.
The anxiety stemmed from fear that his current circumstances might disappoint his mentor.
Mr. Luo San sipped his tea and then said indifferently, "I am here to assist my defense attorney with a case, and also to see you."
"Your defense attorney?"
Long Zhen was stunned. He had known Mr. Luo San for many years, but seldom saw him take on cases himself!
It was usually only the complicated, large public prosecution cases that Mr. Luo San would attend to help.
Normally, he was just an observer as the second counsel, only stepping in when the lead attorney couldn't handle the case.
But today, Mr. Luo said he was here to help a defense attorney with a case!
Who had such influence to engage him!
Long Zhen instinctively glanced at Gu Yu, who was sitting next to him. For some reason, from the moment Mr. Luo had entered, he had felt that Mr. Luo and Gu Yu were connected.
But wasn't Gu Yu a doctor? How could he have managed to get Mr. Luo's assistance?
Normally, if someone from the public sought Mr. Luo's help, it was highly unlikely that he would agree.
Nowadays, aside from proactively helping those who can't afford attorneys due to financial reasons, he rarely agreed to help others from the public.
"This time, I am here to defend Gu Yu. I heard that you have already completed the investigation of the case? May I see the evidence?"
Mr. Luo San glanced at Gu Yu sitting beside him.
Gu Yu chuckled.
Long Zhen was startled. If he couldn't see that Mr. Luo San was here to help Gu Yu now, then he was a fool.
"You hired Mr. Luo to fight this lawsuit for you?"
Long Zhen looked at Gu Yu, still somewhat in disbelief, and asked.
Gu Yu nodded.
"My goodness. Mr. Luo, what on earth did this guy offer you that you actually agreed to fight his lawsuit!"
Upon receiving confirmation from Gu Yu, Long Zhen exclaimed.
"He didn't offer anything; this guy didn't even give me my attorney fees."
Mr. Luo San lifted his eyelids and glared at Long Zhen, then shook his head.
He did not mention the fact that Gu Yu had managed to hire him by playing the victim and being obnoxious.
Even if Gu Yu wasn't embarrassed by it, he found it somewhat embarrassing…
"Hehe, I just forgot, okay? Mr. Luo, name your price for the attorney fees after you win the lawsuit for me. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can afford it!"
Gu Yu gave an awkward laugh.
It seemed he had indeed forgotten to discuss attorney fees with Mr. Luo San, who had simply agreed to it.
This just showed that Mr. Luo San truly cared about his students and did not concern himself with returns.
"No worries, I don't need your money. I'm just using this as an opportunity to familiarize myself with the process again."
Mr. Luo San shook his head and did not take the matter of attorney fees to heart.
He had already achieved financial independence.
He didn't have any specific demands for attorney fees; he acted according to his conscience and mood.
Right now, his intention was to offer assistance to students who had been deceived or whose rights had been illegally violated.
These children had little life experience. Without help, they would continue to fall into traps and suffer losses.
If Mr. Luo San didn't notice them, that was one thing, but if he did, he was certainly going to extend a helping hand.
Every student was like a child to him.
"Lin, go get the investigation file for case KZ1454."
Long Zhen instructed one of his subordinates.
It wasn't long before Officer Lin came over with a file bag.
Long Zhen took out a USB drive and some transcripts that recorded witness testimonies from the inside.
He spread these pieces of evidence out on the table.
Mr. Luo also set down his teacup and began to look at the evidence and testimonies.
Officer Lin considerately brought over a video player as well.
Neither Long Zhen nor Gu Yu spoke, fearing they might disturb his thinking.
A full half hour later, Mr. Luo waved his hand, signaling Long Zhen to pack up everything. He then closed his eyes to think for a moment before looking back at them.
"Alright, I pretty much understand the situation now."
"This case isn't particularly big or small, but these journalists indeed are detestable. As media personnel, they disrupt social order, violate public security, and abuse the media's rights to broadcast information to slander others. There truly is none innocent." Discover exclusive tales at empire
Mr. Luo listed a series of crimes.
Gu Yu was confused by this; wasn't this just a defamation case against him?
How did it involve a violation of public security?
Mr. Luo's words also made Long Zhen ponder.
That was his line of work, and from Mr. Luo's words, he was able to glean more information than Gu Yu.
"Are you suggesting that this case could also be brought to court?" Long Zhen asked hesitantly.
In the case, these media journalists indeed committed several crimes!
Besides the defamation against Gu Yu, it also constituted the conditions for a gathering causing disturbance at the hospital.
The situation had severely affected the emergency services at Haidong Affiliated Hospital.
Now that disrupting hospital order is a criminal offense, a separate case could be initiated!
Mr. Luo said nothing but nodded.
Long Zhen slapped his forehead: "I'll handle it right away."
For criminals violating law, any punishment within the legal limits is justified.
This was also an opportunity to clean up these unethical media outlets.
Let everyone know that carrying a camera does not necessarily make one right!
Long Zhen left the tea room to work on the new case.
Meanwhile, Gu Yu started chatting with Mr. Luo.
"Mr. Luo, do you think I can win this case?"
Gu Yu looked at Mr. Luo with wide, innocent eyes, blinking frequently, appearing as naïve as could be.
But Mr. Luo was not going to fall for that; he had figured out what kind of person Gu Yu was.
This guy, when playing the victim or the scoundrel, was like a completely different person. You would never guess such a handsome young man could resort to crying, making a scene, and even threatening suicide!
"You can win, it just depends on how you want to win," Mr. Luo nodded.
This case, with concrete evidence, even a novice lawyer could hardly lose.
If it weren't for Gu Yu's request, he wouldn't have even bothered to participate.
"Heh, then of course I want to win convincingly!"
Gu Yu grinned mischievously.
Mr. Luo said indifferently, "What do you mean by convincingly? Want them to compensate you a hefty sum?"
But Gu Yu shook his head, "No, no, no. Money? I'm not interested in money. I just want to send them all to prison; only that can uphold the dignity of the law!"
Mr. Luo was speechless.
He smirkingly said, "What? Do you want me to send their defense attorney to prison too?"
Gu Yu's eyes lit up: "Really? That would be perfect!"
Mr. Luo: "..."
He was using an online joke to tease himself, and Gu Yu actually took it seriously!
