212 Ineffective Intimidation (2/2)

”Participating in a mass fight, refusal to comply with investigations, and insulting law enforcement officers with swear words,” Xiao Luo coldly said. ”Are these reasons not enough?”

The lawyer slowly replied, ”All these are based on your accusations. Are there any witnesses to prove your claim?”

Another lawyer stood up and laughed. ”My client is a gentle lady. How could she have participated in a mass fight? Do you think what you are saying is believable?”

”She didn't participate directly, but she is the direct organizer of the mass-fighting incident at the mall,” Liu Tieguo said. ”We can all be the witnesses for that.”

The lawyer said, ”Just now you said that my client participated in a mass fight, now you are saying that she was the organizer behind the mass fight. I can't help but doubt your case investigation abilities. Plus, you all are colleagues and friends, so your testimony cannot be counted.”

”The court is a place that looks at the evidence. We will sue you all for arresting and detaining our client without proper investigation. Then, you all will lose your jobs, and you all will have to compensate my client for moral and reputation damages.”

A lawyer with glasses said in a firm and strong tone, ”The two items will add up to at least a million dollars!”

A million?

This considerably shocked everyone in the police station. Even if they had wrongly arrested someone, surely the compensation wouldn't cost such a terrifying sum of a million dollars.

”How pitiful!”

Ma Pijin expressed his deep condolences toward Xiao Luo, but he was actually very happy.

Even Feng Yuqi and the instructor in his office were shocked. It was true that regardless of whoever you mess with, never mess with lawyers. They could casually demand millions-worth of compensation. How could people like them, who were doing actual work, defeat lawyers in court?

”One million is too little. He must compensate me at least $5 million!” The woman in green viciously glared at Xiao Luo.

”Alright, as you request, Madam, we will get him to compensate you $5 million,” the lawyer in glasses said.

”Also, you fractured my client's legs with your gun. That was extremely wicked behavior. You have broken the law despite knowing it very well. You will be sentenced to 10 years in prison at the very least.”

”We will follow the necessary court procedures and sue you formally, as well as the Liren Police Station behind you.”

”You must pay for your dumb actions!”

The crowd of lawyers bombarded Xiao Luo with words. Their phrasings were very aggressive.

Liu Tieguo, Wang Lihu, and Ye Qiu wanted to say something. In the end, they didn't say anything despite having opened their mouths. It was true that people like them couldn't express themselves very well.

Xiao Luo laughed coldly and said, ”You all really think you are a somebody.”

”What did you just say?” the lawyer in glasses angrily asked.

Xiao Luo turned and looked at him with contempt. ”You think you can decide the sum I must pay as you please and sentence me to 10 years in prison as you please. You all dumbass lawyers are very powerful, huh? If the situation really is in your favor as much as you put it, what's the point in trying to intimidate people here? You wouldn't have sent me an attorney's letter but a court summons.”

”You...”

The lawyer in glasses was quite enraged. He had never met a cop who wasn't afraid of lawyers in the seven or eight years he had been working as one.

”There are witnesses everywhere in the mall, as well as surveillance footage,” Xiao Luo said. ”Do you think your client can be absolved of responsibility regarding the mass fight? No, you can't. The reason why you are exaggerating things over here and talking about $5 million worth of compensation and 10 years in jail is only to intimidate me.”
