Thick-Skinned And Unscrupulous

Lawyer Ge was not happy. His smile turned ugly as his mood darkened.

"It's for you," the female assistant spoke carefully, her smile forced. She could feel the displeasure radiating from Lawyer Ge.

"We're on a case. Personal calls are prohibited," Lawyer Ge stated.

"It's Chairwoman Lin," the assistant clarified.

Lawyer Ge's hands froze, then he relaxed and said to the room, "Pardon me, I have to take this call."

His hand reached out for the phone.

"Chairwoman Lin?

"Yes, we're at the police station. The suspect had caused intentional harm through his driving."

Despite having excused himself, he remained seated in place as he took the call.

It was a tactic employed to pressure a suspect.

Lawyers were unscrupulous and not above using dirty tactics.

A moment later, the lawyer's hands visibly clenched.

The smile on his face became a grimace.

He fell silent as the caller went on.
