Chapter 87: Chapter 87 The Mighty Lawyer Army Arrives (Second Update, Please Subscribe)_1
SPLASH!
Not only were Guo Yuxiang and the others terrified, but the man with the severely receding hairline was so frightened his face turned pale, and he wet his pants!
He stared at Su Xuan, not daring to move. "You... you... you... you even carry an assassin with you?"
The woman beside him scrambled back several meters and quickly took out her phone to call for backup. "My... my dear nephew, come quick... come quick! Your uncle is about to have his throat slit!"
The man had wet himself, the woman was calling for reinforcements, and Shi Yazi was holding the man at knifepoint. All of this made the atmosphere at the scene incredibly tense and oppressive.
A sparrow that had just landed on the roadside also seemed startled, flapping its wings and flying up into the sky.
"Shi Yazi, this is just a minor issue! Come on down!"
"That’s right, we’re in the right here. If you cut him, we won’t be anymore!"
"You could even be thrown in prison!"
Guo Yuxiang, Su Zimo, and the others hurriedly tried to persuade Shi Yazi.
But Shi Yazi only looked at Su Xuan.
Su Xuan gently raised his hand and said, "Shi Yazi, come down. This is indeed a trivial matter."
"Okay!" Shi Yazi obediently nodded. He then looked down at the man and said, "Brother Su told me to let you go, but if you dare to curse at anyone again, I’ll still cut you!"
The man, as if granted a royal pardon, nodded vigorously. "I’m a highly educated and well-mannered person. I never curse."
Shi Yazi sheathed his knife and leaped down.
Su Xuan reached out, pulled Shi Yazi to his side, and smoothly took the knife from his hand.
His sister, Xiao Yun, pointed at the man and said to her brother, "Brother, he’s not even as tough as the rabbits you catch. Even they aren’t as disgraceful as he is when you skin them."
Shi Yazi replied, "At most, he’s just a squeaking field mouse."
His sister held out her small hand. "Agreed!"
Her brother reached out his hand.
SLAP!
The siblings high-fived.
"They really are..." Guo Yuxiang and Lu Dachun quietly exchanged remarks. "Like newborn calves that don’t fear tigers!"
"Exactly. Right out of the mountains and they’re already making such a scene!"
They both secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.
"You just wait!" the man scurried back to his car, stuck his head out the window, and hollowly threatened Su Xuan’s group. "None of you leave, not a single one! My wife has already called for people! You just wait and see!"
Then he rolled up the window and didn’t dare show his face again.
Su Xuan’s group didn’t call the police either. After all, Shi Yazi had nearly assaulted someone with a knife, so it was best not to involve the authorities.
"You think you’re the only ones who can call for reinforcements?" Guo Yuxiang, however, was afraid Su Xuan would be wronged and also picked up his phone to call for backup. "I’ll call some people and show you!"
He didn’t call just anyone. After a quick look at the map, he found the nearest law firm and ordered all available lawyers to come over and put on a show of force.
What he had told Su Xuan yesterday was no idle boast. He really could summon them that easily.
In less than five minutes, five or six cars pulled up in unison.
A group of lawyers dressed in suits and ties, most of them wearing glasses, stepped out of the cars with impressive poise.
"Hello, Young Master Xiang!"
"Long time no see! We’ve missed you!"
"Young Master Xiang, we should have a drink together when you have a moment!"
The normally proud lawyers all became obsequious at the sight of Guo Yuxiang.
Guo Yuxiang couldn’t help but straighten his back.
They’re really showing me respect! Such great respect! Especially in front of Brother Su, my savior! This feels good! So, so good!
"Don’t bother with the pleasantries!" Guo Yuxiang immediately pointed at the man’s car and waved his hand grandly at the lawyers. "See that beat-up Porsche Panamera? He crossed a solid line to change lanes, hit my good friend’s car, and then shamelessly started cursing at us. I want you to teach him a lesson!"
"Understood!"
"A piece of cake!"
"Leave it to us!"
The lawyers promptly rolled up their sleeves and surrounded the car. They first gave it a thorough once-over, then began bombarding the shameless couple inside with a torrent of accusations:
"Friend, are you unfamiliar with traffic laws?"
"Changing lanes over a solid line makes you fully responsible, you know that right?"
"Oh dear, it looks like there’s a problem with your car!"
"Your turn signal is blackened. Does it not work?"
"In that case, you’re driving a vehicle that doesn’t meet safety standards. That could be a 200 yuan fine and 3 demerit points!"
"Tsk, tsk, and you have a vehicle wrap. Is it the same color as the original paint? Did you register it with the motor vehicle department?"
"If it’s not registered, that’s also illegal. The maximum penalty is five hundred yuan and impoundment of the vehicle!"
"My, my, your seatbelt buckle has a dummy insert. You definitely weren’t wearing your seatbelt while driving, were you? That’s a 50 yuan fine and 2 demerit points!"
"I just had a friend at the station run your plates. It seems your car is using a counterfeit license plate, isn’t it?"
"Using a counterfeit plate is a serious offense. A 2,000 yuan fine and the vehicle will be impounded!"
"And since you’re suspected of using a counterfeit plate, we have reason to believe this is a smuggled car!"
"If it really is a smuggled car, that’s a major crime. This car must have cost you at least half a million, right? According to Article 153 of the Criminal Code, purchasing a smuggled vehicle worth over half a million can lead to a prison sentence of at least ten years..."
Truly, every profession has its masters.
The lawyers, one after another, began using their expertise to back up Su Xuan and vent some frustration on his behalf, leaving the shameless couple inside the car completely dumbfounded.
"Honey, do you really get ten years for driving a smuggled car?" the woman quietly asked the man inside the car.
Their car was, in fact, a smuggled one they had bought on the cheap.
"At most, they’ll confiscate the vehicle. We won’t get prison time. Don’t let them scare you!" The man was clearly ignorant of the law, unaware that the lawyers were speaking the truth.
"When is our nephew getting here?" the man then asked the woman.
"He should be here any minute," the woman said, glancing at the time. "The area they hang out in isn’t far from here."
"Good, good!" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You’re usually pretty glib-tongued, aren’t you? You should put up a front, too!"
"Sure thing!"
The woman’s eyes darted around, and she began yelling out the window, "If we’re breaking the law, your side is far worse! That kid of yours—oh, no, that little brat—almost killed my husband with a knife just now! If you don’t give us a proper explanation today, we’ll call the police and have you all thrown in jail! You’ll also have to pay for our car! Taking both things into account, you’ll have to compensate us at least a million!"
The lawyers were taken aback. There was a knife involved?
"Young Master Xiang, did that really happen?" one of the lawyers asked Guo Yuxiang.
"Yes," Guo Yuxiang said, pointing at Shi Yazi. "It was this young man here."
The lawyer looked toward Shi Yazi.
At that moment, Shi Yazi and his sister were squatting on the ground, playing.
Xiao Yun said, "Brother, the ants in the city are so tiny. They look like they have no strength at all."
Her brother replied, "Don’t underestimate them. They might not be strong, but you can tell they’re more cultured than the mountain ants."
Xiao Yun said, "What you say makes so much sense, Brother."
Her brother replied, "Well, why else would I be your brother?"
"Young Master Xiang, this..." The lawyer’s eyes widened as he turned back to Guo Yuxiang. "Do those two kids have... some kind of mental problem?"
Guo Yuxiang nodded. "They probably do."
"Got it!" The lawyer walked up to the couple’s car, his gaze turning cold. "Those two kids are mentally ill! It doesn’t matter if they’re holding a knife or a gun. Even if they kill you, they won’t be held legally responsible!"
At that same moment, a group of fierce, menacing men arrived...
