The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Bai Lian sat opposite, her head lowered, slowly flipping through the materials Director Chen had gathered.

After placing down his teacup, Director Chen smiled and greeted Sister Xin, “Hello, hello, I’m an undercover officer, currently investigating the case involving young Mister Zhang. If you have any information or evidence, make sure to let me know in time.”

An undercover officer, huh.

Sister Xin nodded, her head bobbing eagerly, “Thank you, officer.”

Director Chen waved his hand, indicating it was no problem.

“So your point is…” Bai Lian read through the entire case process at a glance.

“He acted heinously,” Director Chen sat up straight, his fingers tapping on the table rhythmically yet casually, he showed a rare seriousness, “There’s surveillance footage, and although his confession might mitigate the charges, since the plaintiff has passed away, under such circumstances, he won’t get away with less than three years.”

A society ruled by law.

Normally, cases with a confirmed suspect like this do not require a trial and are directly handed over to the presiding judge.

It wouldn’t even pass through Director Chen’s hands typically.

It was rare for him to handle a case personally, and the seriousness of his team meant that even the Liu family could not interfere.

By the window.

After hearing the case during the phone call with Yan Lu, the attorney fell silent for a moment, “Madam, I would really like to take on this case, but according to what I know, the plaintiff has hired Lawyer Zhao.”

“Lawyer Zhao?” Yan Lu gripped her cell phone tightly, her voice betraying her shock, “Which Lawyer Zhao?”

“You should have guessed, Zhao Jingzhou,” the other party really wanted to help Xu En, and owing Xu En a favor wasn’t something easily done, but since the plaintiff’s defense attorney was Zhao Jingzhou, he dared not take the case, fearing he might mess things up and leave a bad impression on Xu En, or even worse, displease Xu En, “With him involved, there are not many lawyers from our firm who dare to take on the case.”

Yan Lu had just caught a lifeline, but hearing these words, her face turned pale.

“Is it Lawyer Zhao?” Xin Sister heard Yan Lu’s voice from the table, “That Zhao Jingzhou?”

Yan Lu pursed her lips and nodded.

“What do we do now?” Xin Sister murmured, “Who else would dare to take it on?”

Bai Lian was messaging Jiang Fulai—

[Zhang Shize isn’t seeing anyone or talking]

[Is he also in self-isolation?]

Jiang Fulai looked at her message and raised an eyebrow at a name that kept appearing frequently.

Then he took the time to open up an investigation report sent by Director Chen.

Bai Lian didn’t know Lawyer Zhao. She let her phone screen go dark and placed it on the table, looking up, “Which Lawyer Zhao?”

“Zhao Jingzhou,” Xin Sister looked at Bai Lian with a wry smile, “The lead attorney of Time Law Firm, fought and won over a dozen cases, big and small, without a single loss. His most classic case was that three hundred million economic lawsuit. He’s quite popular online and rarely takes cases now, he could argue that the dead are still alive, it’s unexpected that the Liu family managed to invite him to Xiangcheng.”

Zhao Jingzhou’s two classic cases were even made into short videos which garnered over a million views online.

Almost everyone on the internet knows him.

The fact that he’s almost never lost a case is already terrifying, and the internet has almost mythologized him.

So when Xin Sister and Yan Lu heard his name, they both felt a chill.

“Miss Yan, you should look for someone else,” the lawyer on the other end of Yan Lu’s phone call spoke up helplessly, “I really dare not take it.”

The person on the other line hung up.

Yan Lu and Xin Sister exchanged glances, even the lawyer recommended by CEO Xu dared not take the case…

Bai Lian snapped back to reality, and resting her arm lightly on the table, she looked up at Director Chen, “Do you know this Zhao Jingzhou?”

She frowned slightly, judging from Yan Lu and Xin Sister’s descriptions, he must be a formidable litigator.

“Miss Bai, hold on, I’ll go and drag Chi Yundai back here,” Director Chen pondered for a moment, then picked up his phone and walked out to call Chi Yundai.

Last night he had messaged Chi Yundai, who had ignored him.

The first call.

Chi Yundai didn’t answer.

Nor did he answer the second.

On the third attempt, Chi Yundai picked up just as he placed a cake in the oven, rattling off a tirade into the phone with a sneer, “Chen Yongkun, you’d better have a damn good reason for calling me!”
