Chapter 397: You, a stepmother, are qualified to ask me to give you face for the things you brought in?



Li Feng hummed.

Thinking of something, he added, "Mom, I heard that the forensic doctor who performed the test on the deceased this time was your idol."

Madam Li was surprised, "Yan Jiang?"

"Um."

Li Jue suddenly sneered.

Madam Li looked over at him and asked, "Why are you laughing so strangely?"

"I'm laughing at you." Li Jue said sourly, "You thought Yan Jiang was going to celebrate your birthday, but I think he was just going to steal Gu Qinchuan's hair."

The word "steal" is used subtly.

"I really underestimated this kid named Yan." Li Jue was familiar with Yan Jiang because of his wife. He always knew that Yan Jiang was an arrogant and arrogant kid, but he didn't expect that he would actually dare to go against the Gu family.

"Those who don't know their place are not afraid of retaliation from the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li's eyes rolled quickly.

Seeing Madam Li's eyes rolling around, Li Jue knew what she was thinking. He reminded Madam Li, "Don't get involved in this matter. The Gu family and our Li family have always had a harmonious relationship. If you help Yan Jiang in this matter, the Gu family will definitely hate our Li family."

"Regardless of whether Gu Er falls this time, the eldest brother of the Gu family will always sit firmly in that position. Offending the Gu family will not benefit our Li family."

After being rebuked by Li Jue, Mrs. Li realized the pros and cons of this matter. She did like Yan Jiang and was a fan of Yan Jiang, but she cared more about the interests of the Li family and her son's career.

"I won't mess around."

Chasing stars is just a pastime, and Mrs. Li is not the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.

Li Feng had a lover outside and he had to go over to accompany her in the evening. After dinner, Li Feng took the car keys and prepared to leave.

Li Jue caught up with him and called out to him, "Feng'er, take a walk with Dad."

Li Feng glanced at his father, put down the key, and walked with Li Jue. The Li family had their own yard, and the father and son walked around the stone path in the yard.

Li Jue took off his leather shoes and walked on the cobblestones in his socks. Li Feng stood aside and saw that his father was still hesitant to speak, so he spoke first: "Dad, do you have something to tell me?"

Li Jue walked on the cobblestones for a while before saying, "Your uncle called me a while ago and told me that he would most likely be transferred to Wangdong City to take up a position."

There was a hint of joy in Li Feng's eyes, "This is a good thing." Wangdong City is much more prosperous than Nanxing City. If Li Mang can really be transferred to Wangdong City to take up a position, the status of the Li family in Wangdong City will rise again.

"It's indeed a good thing. Precisely because it's a good thing, it attracts envy." Li Jue paused, gave his son a deep look, and suddenly said, "Your uncle has made quite a few enemies. Right now, many are waiting to find something to hold against your uncle and ruin his future."

"Your uncle lived a life of integrity, but your actions have only tarnished his career."

Hearing this, Li Feng thought of the incident that happened many years ago. Li Feng was also a little annoyed, and often thought, if that incident had not happened, how much better it would be. "Dad, it's been so long, that incident will probably not be brought up again."

"Anything that happens will leave traces, so how can it be truly covered up? This time, Gu Er was caught committing a crime. If he can pay to settle the matter, that's a good thing. If he can't, and really falls into trouble... I'm afraid he'll drag others down with him."

When Li Feng heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He said hesitantly, "He won't be brought down so easily, and the Gu family won't watch him go to jail. At most, they'll put him in jail for a while, and when the heat has died down, they'll find a way to settle this matter."

"I hope so."

Knock knock——

Yan Jiang closed the document, then looked up and said to the person outside, "Come in."

The secretary pushed the door open and walked in, without any documents in his hand.

"Boss Yan." The secretary walked closer and nodded, saying, "Just now, the Miso Group called and said they want to cooperate with our firm."

It was unclear whether Yan Jiang knew about Gu Qinchuan's situation. The secretary explained, "The boss of the Misuo Group is surnamed Gu. Mr. Gu's younger brother is called Gu Qinchuan, a rock singer. He was arrested by the police for raping a female college student, causing her to become pregnant and then commit suicide by taking pills."

"The Gu family wants to hire Lawyer Wei as Gu Qinchuan's defense lawyer."

Wei Xingxing is a famous lawyer. No matter what case he takes, he can handle it in the best possible way.

Gu Qinchuan couldn't get rid of the label of rape, so he could only find a good lawyer to try to reduce his sentence to the greatest extent possible and reduce the punishment to the lowest level.

After much screening, the eldest brother of the Gu family finally chose Wei Xingxing.

Yan Jiang seemed to have expected this and wasn't surprised at all. "Tell Lawyer Wei to come up to me."

"good."

Not long after, Wei Xingxing came upstairs to see Yan Jiang. As soon as he saw Yan Jiang, Wei Xingxing said, "Mr. Gu from Miso called me and wanted me to be his brother's defense lawyer."

Wei Xingxing did not say whether he accepted the case or rejected it.

Seeing Wei Xingxing's mysterious behavior, Yan Jiang smiled and said, "You must not have taken this case."

Wei Xingxing suddenly felt bored. "Are you so sure I won't take this case?"

"Um."

Wei Xingxing laughed, "Yes, I never defend a rapist." Not defending a rapist is Wei Xingxing's professional code of conduct.

A murderer may kill someone because of negligence or out of revenge. But a rapist deserves to die. No one put a knife to their neck and forced them to hurt an innocent girl!
