NOVPUBSeeing Wu Bin becoming somewhat annoyed, Li Guotai finally withdrew his hand and cleared his throat, saying:
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you."
"I came to see you today, firstly, to check on your recovery, and secondly, to notify you that the court hearings for the cases related to you are about to start. As the plaintiff, if your health allows, you are required to attend."
"Ah? I have cases against me? How come I don’t know about them?"
Wu Bin was completely baffled.
He had been amiable all his life and rarely even argued with others. How could he possibly have any cases against him?
Seeing the puzzled look on Wu Bin’s face, Li Guotai explained, "These are the cases that Principal Xu filed on your behalf. You are the plaintiff, and the defendants are the irascible couple who assaulted you, Ding Xin who almost drowned you, Ding Hu who nearly poisoned you to death, and now there’s also Lu Yuan who nearly burned you alive."
"It’s just that Lu Yuan has fled and his whereabouts are unknown. The police are searching for him everywhere."
Wu Bin was stunned as he listened.
Some of these defendants he had even forgotten about.
No, is Xu Wenyao that vindictive?
He actually filed lawsuits against them.
But on second thought, it made sense.
After all, Xu Wenyao’s intention was to take down the opposition school directors. Naturally, the best way to inflict the maximum damage was through legal action to put them behind bars.
Ding Qiang probably hadn’t been sleeping well these days, knowing that his son and brother were about to be sent to prison.
Wu Bin hadn’t expected Lu Yuan, the kid, to be capable of eluding capture.
The kid sure had some wild ways; what if he was planning to smuggle himself out of the country?
"Wu Bin, Principal Xu means that, if your health permits, he has a few attorneys here for you to choose from," said Li Guotai.
"These lawyers are all top-notch ones he can hire for you, each backed by a professional team. You pick one, and the person will come over this afternoon to discuss the case with you."
Li Guotai took out his phone as he spoke and handed over several attorneys’ electronic resumes for Wu Bin to examine.
Wu Bin scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.
After all, he wasn’t a law professional; he wasn’t an expert in selecting attorneys.
Seeing Wu Bin in difficulty, Li Guotai said with a smile, "Actually, Principal Xu just wants to convey a message, which is that no matter which attorney you choose, he is confident that he can win the case."
Wu Bin curled his lip.
"Win or not, I don’t really care; it’s not much related to me anyway."
Li Guotai looked puzzled and said, "How can it be unrelated? These cases involve compensation for medical expenses, nutritional fees, mental anguish, and other costs."
"If these cases are won, you could probably get more than two million."
Holy crap!
More than two million? That’s a lot!
Suddenly, Wu Bin was invigorated.
"Win! We must win!"
"I even suspect they’ve been after my life from the beginning!"
"Li Guotai, do you think I could charge them with attempted murder? Would that result in a higher compensation?"
Li Guotai: ...
"Do you think you own the court or something, that you can decide what charge to use on a whim?"
Wu Bin was somewhat disdainful.
"That just shows that you lawyers are no good. If it were Teacher Luo..."
Just as Wu Bin’s voice trailed off, he suddenly saw a familiar face on the last resume.
Wu Bin couldn’t help but exclaim.
"Holy shit! It really is Teacher Luo!"
Li Guotai leaned over to take a look and said indifferently, "Oh, that’s an attorney assistant’s profile. It seems Principal Xu made a mistake in including this resume, so you can ignore it."
Ignore it, my ass!
This is like getting a Divine General Card!
Wu Bin pointed at Luo Xiang’s profile, speaking excitedly, "It’s him! I choose him!"
"Make him my lawyer!"
Li Guotai’s brows furrowed.
"Are you sure?"
"He’s just a teacher who teaches after the bar exam, an online course instructor, isn’t professional enough?"
Bullshit he’s not professional enough!
That’s because you don’t know Teacher Luo!
Other lawyers at most could send the defendant to jail, but if Teacher Luo went, he might even be able to send the one wielding the gavel!
If Teacher Luo became my lawyer, wouldn’t I be able to ask for a sky-high amount for emotional damages?
After all, Teacher Luo once said, "Emotional damages are priceless, so I can ask for as much money as I want, whether you accept it or not, that’s your problem, not mine."
Listen to that, how domineering, how mighty!
Wu Bin had already decided that once he was in court, he would assert his claim, demanding five million from each defendant!
Anything less than that was a disrespect to Teacher Luo!
Seeing Wu Bin’s insistence, Li Guotai had no choice but to convey Wu Bin’s wishes to Xu Wenyao.
Xu Wenyao, who waited for good news in his office, spat out his tea upon seeing Wu Bin’s choice.
"Is this kid doing this on purpose? Choosing a web celebrity teacher over so many top-tier lawyers?"
Xu Wenyao instinctively wanted to reject Wu Bin’s choice.
I told you to choose with your eyes closed, but I didn’t tell you to make a wild choice like this!
However, Xu Wenyao, the principal, quickly calmed down.
Wu Bin was no ordinary college student.
Not only was he physically weak, but he also had many ideas.
Thinking about the miracles Wu Bin had created one after another so far, Xu Wenyao’s forefinger began tapping on his desk as he started to ponder.
"Wu Bin choosing this person must be for a reason, but why?"
Xu Wenyao, as if possessed, opened the online course platform and searched for Luo Xiang’s name.
Xu Wenyao intended to judge Luo Xiang’s professional ability and expertise through his teaching content.
After all, Xu Wenyao used to be a teacher too, albeit not a law teacher, but he could tell at a glance whether someone was teaching real stuff and if their response in actual situations was genuine or not.
But as Xu Wenyao clicked on a video, he was stunned.
He saw Luo Xiang sitting calmly in front of the lectern and said indifferently:
"I’ve been starving in the wilderness for twenty days, nearly starving to death, and then I see a panda, can I catch it to eat?"
Xu Wenyao: ???
What kind of ridiculous question is that?
Pandas are national treasures, can you catch and eat them?
But the next second, Luo Xiang confidently said:
"Of course you can."
"Whether you roast it or grill it, you can eat it because this is called emergency defense."
"Remember this, pandas are just national treasures, but we are humans, humans are priceless treasures!"
"Humans will always be above animals."
At first, Xu Wenyao thought Luo Xiang was talking nonsense.
But after listening for a while, he was completely mesmerized.
It seems to make sense, doesn’t it?
I’m about to starve to death, why would I care if you are a national treasure or not?
But soon, Xu Wenyao came back to his senses.
Fuck, how could I have such a terrifying thought, this lawyer is toxic!
At this point, Xu Wenyao finally understood why Wu Bin specifically asked for Luo Xiang to be his lawyer.
With this professional capability, he’s simply flawless!
