A pen was shoved into Zhang Baochen's hands, but he trembled for a long time and still couldn't sign it. Finally, he mustered his courage and said, "I … I won't sign it!"
"You won't sign it? Unless you're not Zhang Baochen, you have to sign it! " The police officer said firmly, "It's written clearly on the paper. If you don't sign it, you'll be detained!"
"I … I … It's not that I don't want to sign it, I want a lawyer! I want a lawyer to represent me, and I'll sign it after I'm clear! "Zhang Baochen finally regained his senses and put down the pen, refusing to sign it.
"A lawyer?" The police officer was taken aback, "Do you have a lawyer?"
Needing a lawyer just to sign something, rich people really have a lot of problems …
"I do, I'll call my lawyer right now!" Zhang Baochen was in a rush to get the best lawyer to represent him in dealing with the police.
The crimes committed by Dacheng Industries were still within the scope of the military's internal audit, and because of Zhang Feng's relationship with Grandfather Huo, the military had no intention of taking it to court.
The police were only there to help the military verify basic information, and were not sent by the court.
Therefore, it was completely legal for Zhang Baochen to get a lawyer to represent him.
If he wanted a lawyer, the police couldn't stop him.
"Then call them right now." The police officer took back the form, "We'll wait here."
Zhang Baochen's face was tense as he turned around and went inside.
He went to the study on the second floor, turned on his computer, and quickly searched the internet for the best law firms in the country, but all his calls were answered with voicemail.
It was the second day of the new year, and even if there were any on duty, it was almost noon now, and perhaps lunch time.
A sweet robotic voice sounded from the phone, "… Hello, if there's an emergency, please call 110. If it's a criminal case, please press 1. If it's a financial case, please press 2. If it's a legal representative, please press 3 … "
He pressed a series of numbers, but it only went to a voicemail for him to leave a message.
How could Zhang Baochen have time to leave a message?
The police were waiting outside, and if he didn't call a lawyer over immediately, they wouldn't let him go.
He anxiously searched the Imperial Capital's local website, trying to find a reliable law firm that could also hire people to be his agent.
His mouse pointed to a law firm called "Monarch Descends".
This law firm was established not long ago and was not considered big. It had a team of less than 15 people, but its boss was very powerful. According to the online introduction, he was a partner of the largest law firm in the United States and a tenured professor at Harvard Law School. He had fought a long list of cases, and one of them was against the US military.
This lawyer even dared to defy the US military, let alone the Huaxia Empire.
Zhang Baochen rubbed his chin and quickly browsed through the law firm's website before making a call.
"Hello, this is the Monarch Descends Law Office. How may we help you today?"
It was actually not an electronic voice message system!
Zhang Baochen became even more agitated. He tugged at his bow tie and asked eagerly, "Hello, I'm in urgent need of a lawyer to represent me. Could you please send one over immediately?"
The voice on the other side of the phone seemed to pause for a moment, then said politely, "Can you tell me the details? It's the second day of the Lunar New Year right now, so it's not easy for us to find someone, but we'll try our best to find you a suitable lawyer, so please tell me the details. "
Zhang Baochen hurriedly explained the situation and added, "… They're outside right now and want me to sign a form, but I don't know if I should sign it."
The woman on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, as if taking notes, then quickly asked, "How did the police determine that Dacheng Industries is insolvent? It shouldn't have happened so quickly, right? "
"This … I don't know either …" Zhang Baochen didn't want to talk about the military. He had finally found a reliable person to answer the phone, and it wasn't an electronic voice. He was worried that he would scare her away.
"Mr. Zhang, you have to tell me the truth. If you tell me half of the truth, you're not harming us, but yourself. " The woman's voice was very gentle. "No matter how things go, we will still charge you, so all the losses will be borne by you. Think again, is there anything else you haven't said?"
Zhang Baochen was defeated by this woman, so he had no choice but to tell her everything he knew bit by bit.
There was a pause for a full two minutes, so long that Zhang Baochen thought she was going to hang up. In the end, he heard her say, "Okay, we'll take it. Where are you? I can find a lawyer of our firm to represent you. "
"Huh? Really?! " Zhang Baochen heaved a sigh of relief, feeling alive again. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "I'm at Room 1043, Block C of Baolong Court, Zhichun District, Fourth Ring Road. Can he come over immediately?"
The woman smiled. "I'll give him a call right away."
"May I know how to address you?"
"My surname is Wen, Shouyi."
Wen Shouyi put down the phone and laughed softly.
She didn't celebrate the Lunar New Year here, so the first and second days of the Lunar New Year were meaningless to her.
She had come to the law firm alone to prepare materials and prepare for her classes, but she didn't expect to get a job like this.
She sent the payment information to Zhang Baochen, asking him to pay a deposit of 100,000 yuan first, and the lawyer's fees would be deducted from the deposit.
Zhang Baochen quickly transferred 100,000 yuan over.
Wen Shouyi saw that the money had been transferred and called Lawyer Jin. "Lawyer Jin, someone is looking for a legal representative. It's urgent. Are you free?"
Lawyer Jin had been fired from JD Law Firm because he lost Bai Jinyi's case.
Other law firms in Imperial Capital didn't want to hire him because they were afraid of offending the Bai family. Only the foreign law firm, The Sovereign Descends, gave him a chance.
He was trying his best to get back at them and win back his honor as the lead lawyer.
He was having lunch with friends and relatives when he received Wen Shouyi's call, but he quickly agreed. "No problem. Where is he? I'll go right away. "
Wen Shouyi nodded with satisfaction. "I've sent the details to your email. You'll see it right away. The person's name is Zhang Baochen. His address is Room 1043, Block C of Baolong Court, Zhichun District, Fourth Ring Road. His phone number is 136XXXXX. "
"Okay, got it." Lawyer Jin unlocked his phone and saw that Wen Shouyi had already sent an email to his work inbox.
He opened it and skimmed through it. He was immediately excited.
Wen Shouyi's memo was very well done. Not only did it detail the ins and outs of the case, but it also introduced the people behind it.
For example, Zhang Baochen was only a manager in a financial company, but his mother, Zhang Feng, was the head nurse of Huo Xuenong, the second-in-command of the Supreme Military Council.
Although Huo Xuenong had retired, he still held the rank of General. His son, Huo Guanchen, was the Director of the Military Political Department, and his grandson was the famous Major General Huo Shaoheng.
Jin Dazhuang couldn't be more familiar with this string of names.
Bai Jinyi's lawsuit was against the Huo family.
Luo Xinxue, whom Bai Jinyi was accused of murdering, was the widow of the Huo family's eldest son, the late Colonel Huo Guanyuan.
He'd seen Huo Shaoheng in court.
When he thought of Huo Shaoheng, he couldn't help but think of Gu Nianzhi, who had caused him to lose so badly.
"Lawyer Jin, as Huo Xuenong's head nurse, is Zhang Feng close or distant to him?" Wen Shouyi had just arrived in Huaxia Empire and didn't know much about these relationships.
Jin Dazhuang put on his Bluetooth headset and took out his iPad to highlight key points as he walked out. He said to Wen Shouyi on the other end of the line, "Lawyer Wen, the Chief's nurses have a lot of power. Sometimes, they can even control the Chief's daily schedule and decide who he sees and who he doesn't. Even the Chief's wife can't compare to their relationship with the Chief at times. "
"… Oh? Really? "Wen Shouyi was very interested," Then who is qualified to be a nurse? "
"If it's in the military, it has to be at least a commander or a general, the same standard as a personal secretary." Jin Dazhuang said politely, "I'll have to look into the details. If Lawyer Wen is interested, I can send it to you after I'm done. "
"Oh, it's okay, I was just saying." Wen Shouyi turned on her computer and searched online, "Hurry up, he's going to be anxious."
Jin Dazhuang put down the phone and got into his car, quickly arriving at Zhichun Precinct on the Fourth Ring Road.
There were very few people on the road on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
He found Zhang Baochen's residence and called him, "May I ask if you are Mr. Zhang? I'm Lawyer Jin from Sovereign Law Firm. "
