Years of experience in the industry have given Song Yuhong an almost intuitive sense of vigilance.
Even if just a second ago they were laughing and joking with their assistant, celebrating their victory and securing their spoils.
But the next second, an unusual problem will be discovered.
After calming herself down, Song Yuhong immediately made a phone call to Su Lin.
This time, he didn't avoid Zhu Yuanyuan at all. Instead, he gave a textbook-like on-site demonstration, sharing his client-handling skills without reservation.
When the call connected, Song Yuhong didn't get straight to the point.
Instead, they chatted and laughed first to find out if Su Lin's family was comfortable living in the apartment and if they had any difficulties. They talked about some everyday topics to gradually lower Su Lin's guard and open up the conversation.
However, when the topic of the case came up, he suddenly seemed troubled, as if he had encountered some kind of problem.
Then, through a combination of coaxing and deception, they arranged for Su Lin to come to the law firm's office for a face-to-face chat.
Zhu Yuanyuan stood aside, dumbfounded as she watched her supervising lawyer, Song Yuhong, perform such a skillful operation. She was extremely impressed and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
With just a few words, the person's guard was down, and the desired information was obtained directly.
Amazing conversation skills.
Snap!
After arranging a time with Su Lin, Song Yuhong hung up the phone while chatting and laughing.
But then, her face instantly turned serious.
"Hiss...something's not right."
"Su Lin is hiding something from us."
When Zhu Yuanyuan saw Song Lu, who was chatting and laughing with a client on the phone just a second ago, suddenly become so serious and tense, she was completely bewildered and had no idea what had happened.
"Huh!? She's keeping it from us?"
“We were her lawyers, and we helped her win the case. What benefit could she possibly gain by keeping it from us?”
"Besides, I saw that you and she were having a pretty smooth conversation just now, it didn't seem like anything unexpected happened."
"How...how did you tell she had something on her mind over the phone?"
She thought that Song Yuhong just wanted to know if Su Lin was in any trouble, since they had just talked about trivial things on the phone.
Unexpectedly, after hanging up the phone, Song Lu completely changed his attitude.
Song Yuhong had a headache at the moment, and her mood became a bit irritable.
After all, according to the original plan, they didn't need to do anything else. They could just wait for the court hearing and smoothly take away more than ten million yuan in assets.
All that's needed to do is wait.
But Su Lin's unusual behavior just now made her sense a hint of trouble.
"Alas, it's not the opponent's ingenuity that's scary, it's the sudden inspiration of a fool."
Why was I able to sense something was wrong before I even made the call?
"It's because I know my client well enough. Su Lin is an absolute fool. The more foolish a person is, the more nervous, anxious, and uneasy they will be at this time."
“If it were a client like the one I’ve dealt with before, she would call me 24/7 to inquire about the case’s progress before the trial.”
"Even if she is slow to reply to messages in the chat group, she will worry that there is a problem with the case."
"But what about Su Lin?"
Was her reaction normal?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanyuan began to sense something and couldn't help but nod slightly in agreement.
These valuable insights are so valuable that if I hadn't been mentored by a highly experienced and capable lawyer, I probably wouldn't have been able to learn their essence even after three or five years of internship!
Song Yuhong also spared no effort in training this assistant.
At this moment, it's natural to break down all the hidden problems and explain them to her bit by bit.
“These past few days, Su Lin has never taken the initiative to inquire about the progress of the case. What does that mean?”
"This suggests that whether the case goes to trial or not may not be that important to her anymore. To put it even worse, could it be that she no longer trusts us and has prepared other out-of-court methods to resolve this matter on her own?"
"If it only goes this far, then it's just my guess."
"That's why I took the initiative to call and find out what was going on."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanyuan finally understood why Song Yuhong had suddenly had a bad premonition.
However, her biggest question remained unanswered.
"Then...why didn't you ask her these things directly on the phone just now?"
"Instead, she talked about things that had absolutely nothing to do with the case, like whether she was living well, eating well, and how her parents were in health?"
"I don't quite understand..."
Song Yuhong sighed helplessly, feeling the same doubt in her heart.
"Sigh, these words were obviously meant to lower her guard and make her reveal the problem on her own."
"Furthermore, we can rule out the possibility that she is preoccupied with family problems, which is why she is not paying attention to the trial."
"However, after asking around, I found that there was no problem at home, which means that's not the reason."
"Then, I deliberately acted a little worried and told her that there were still some key points in the case that I needed her to come to the law firm to explain in person, as they were very important for the court hearing in a few days!"
"If she still cares about the court hearing and is worried about winning or losing the case, then, given her personality, she would definitely become anxious and worried, and might even rush over to find out what's going on."
"But she didn't react at all after hearing what I said on the phone just now."
"He just gave a perfunctory reply, 'Oh, I know, I'll be there in a bit.'"
"Listen to these words coming from her mouth, especially at this critical juncture! What else could it be?!"
How can she be so calm?
Zhu Yuanyuan suddenly understood, and gradually began to comprehend Song Yuhong's initial urgency and tension.
Following Song Yuhong's train of thought, he continued to explain.
"Her calm reaction is likely because she feels that she no longer needs to go to court to divide the property and has found a better way to get the property directly."
"Or rather, she doesn't care whether we lose the case or not; she's absolutely certain she can win!"
"Therefore, in conclusion, whatever the reason, it must be an unforeseen event or arrangement that we are unaware of!"
"Su Lin found someone else to handle this matter simultaneously!!"
Before the trial, the client secretly chose other methods to handle the case without informing their lawyer, which was devastating news for the lawyer!
For a moment, Song Yuhong and Zhu Yuanyuan became somewhat anxious.
What kind of stupid idea did this guy come up with?!
