Chapter 276: President's Lawyer Alan

With the sound of a piercing police siren, several police cars whizzed away, and in the end, Huang Yi was taken away. In fact, Brook also wanted to take Zhou Ming and ** away together, but since the police officer saw the document in Zhou Ming's hand that had been specially approved by the president, he knew that it would be very troublesome if he arrested Zhou Ming, so he only took Huang Yi away, and of course, he rightfully put all the blame on him.

As he watched the shadow of the police car receding into the distance, **suddenly said, 'Zhou Ming, if you can contact the consulate and safely send the person back to the country, I am at least 90% sure that I can bring classmate Huang Yi out of the police station unharmed.'

'**Are you planning to break him out of prison?' Zhou Ming asked in surprise.

'If that's the only way, I'll give it a try,' **replied.

Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. It wasn't that **'s plan was unrealistic, because no one else knew, but Zhou Ming knew that ** definitely had the ability to do it. Back when they were in China, he was able to escape from a heavily armed military camp, and on Dongdan Street, he exchanged fire with several hundred heavily armed armed police for several hours without losing ground. Later, there were even comments that if he was given enough ammunition supplies, he might even be able to kill a reinforced company.

Since heavily armed armed police units and regular troops were unable to do anything about a special forces kingpin like **, let alone ordinary police officers, Zhou Ming did not believe that American police officers were all superheroes like those in Hollywood movies.

However, Zhou Ming finally shook his head: 'After all, we still have to study and live here. If we break with the American police now and cause a prison break, it will not be good for us in the future.'

'Damn it, these Americans have really gone too far. What a shitty country of freedom, they're all fucking liars!' ** clenched his fists in anger. Although he didn't think the United States was a good country, at least it was relatively fair. But he didn't expect his fellow countrymen to be living such a life here, being bullied in one way or another every day, and their status was even lower than that of the blacks. Today, they even took Huang Yi away in front of him. How could this not make people feel angry?

'This is inevitable in a foreign country.'

Zhou Ming patted **'s shoulder to comfort him, and then Zhou Ming asked ** to get in the car. ** asked in surprise where Zhou Ming was going. Zhou Ming told him, 'Of course we're going to rescue our compatriots.'

** immediately got in the car upon hearing this. Originally, they were going to go directly to the Consulate General in New York to find Cheng Jun, but Cheng Jun's very formulaic reply that he would mediate made Zhou Ming give up the idea of going to New York.

'These bureaucrats are really annoying!' ** angrily slammed the steering wheel, and then he said to Zhou Ming, "Why don't I just go to the police station and break you out of jail? I definitely won't expose my identity, and I won't get you into trouble.'

Zhou Ming laughed, "I'm not afraid of you getting me into trouble. Back in the day, in Northern Russia, I was even involved in things like a coup d'état in a superpower country. We even broke through the army's siege. There's nothing I wouldn't dare to do, except that there's no other way to do this kind of thing.'

**'s eyes lit up: "So, in that case, Zhou Ming, you still have a way out?'

'I can't say that the way is good, but at least I am confident that I can solve this problem.'

After saying that, Zhou Ming told ** to drive the car back to Chinatown. Zhou Ming knocked on the door of Zhu Yao's house. Zhu Yao opened the door and was a little surprised to see Zhou Ming: "Teacher Zhou, is there anything else?'

Zhou Ming glanced behind Zhu Yao and saw that neither of her parents were at the door before saying to her, 'It's about Huang Yi. We were just back at Harvard and on the way here he was arrested and taken to the police station. Brooke falsely accused him of discrimination and assaulting a black man.'

'Oh my god, how could this happen? Brooke really has gone too far. This is all my fault. If it weren't for me, none of this would have happened. I'm sorry,' Zhu Yao said with some guilt.

'In fact, it doesn't matter if you are sorry or not. The most important thing now is to find a way to rescue Huang Yi first. But I don't know this place well. Zhu Yao, do you know any good law firms here?' Zhou Ming asked.

Zhu Yao immediately nodded and said, 'I know. There is a very famous law firm across from Chinatown. Many wealthy people in Brighton directly hire lawyers there. The lawyers there are also very good, but the fees there are also very high.'

'Don't worry, I have the money. It's not a problem,'

Zhou Ming said so, then took Zhu Yao to the car and asked her to take them to the law firm. The law firm was located in the heart of downtown Brighton, surrounded by bank buildings. This financial strength was enough to show the capabilities of this law firm.

Zhou Ming was very satisfied with the place, but Zhu Yao hesitated when they arrived at the door: 'Do we really have to go in?'

Zhou Ming replied that of course they did, and took the lead into the law firm. Zhu Yao had no choice but to follow. As soon as they entered, the receptionist at the front of the law firm kindly asked, 'Hello, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, have you made an appointment with any of our lawyers?'

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'No, just a friend of mine was arrested and taken to the police station. I need a lawyer to help me bail him out.'

The receptionist looked up and down at Zhu Yao a few times and said, 'I'm sorry, but we are a gold-medal law firm and do not provide any form of legal aid. If you need legal aid, please call the Brighton Public Defender's Office.'

Zhou Ming frowned at the receptionist's words, as she had obviously discriminated against them for coming to seek free legal aid.

So Zhou Ming said to her, 'But I'm here to see a lawyer, not a free public defender.'

'Okay, the fees for lawyers here generally range from two hundred to seven hundred dollars per hour. Please fill out this form and pay a deposit of three thousand dollars. Our law firm will arrange the most suitable lawyer for you based on your situation,'

The receptionist said very politely, but Zhu Yao involuntarily gasped when she heard the lawyer's fees, because the price was far beyond her expectations. She wanted to suggest to Zhou Ming that they find a cheaper law firm, but Zhou Ming simply took out ten thousand dollars and handed it to the receptionist, saying, 'I'll pay ten thousand dollars in advance, but I need your best lawyer!'

The receptionist was a little surprised. She obviously didn't expect Zhou Ming to so easily hand over $10,000. She knew that many so-called middle class people couldn't earn that much in a month, and ordinary people couldn't even earn half that. That was why she had asked for a $3,000 deposit in the first place, to make the other party back down. She had never expected that the ordinary-looking Chinese man in front of her could actually come up with so much money.

Aren't Chinese people all very poor and stingy, unwilling to spend money and unwilling to spend even one dollar on three things? How could she be so generous?

The receptionist didn't understand this, but she understood one thing: the customer in front of her needed to be treated well. She immediately took Zhou Ming's money and said, 'Yes, sir, can you please tell me which lawyer you need? Or do you have any special requirements, so I can make an appointment for you.'

'I'm looking for a lawyer in the field of criminal law, regarding racial discrimination and assault. I need to bail my friend out of the police station right now, and the rest I'll leave to the lawyer I hire, as long as he's good enough,' said Zhou Ming.

'Please be assured that the lawyers at our law firm are all very good,' the receptionist said. "Then please wait a moment, I will immediately arrange an appointment for you with the lawyer you need.'

With that, the receptionist began to look through her notebook to find the right lawyer for Ming at a suitable time. At this time, Yao Zhu pulled Ming aside and whispered, "Mr. Zhou, why don't we go somewhere else? I know there is a pretty good law firm on Chinatown. This place is really expensive, two hundred dollars an hour, which is unacceptable.'

'It doesn't matter, you get what you pay for. Since they dare to charge such a high price, the lawyers here must be good at what they do. And as you said, this is the best law firm in Brighton. If she is cheating us, we can complain about her. I don't think she would do that. As for money, it's useless to save it. If you really want to make money, I can always make more. Right now, the most important thing for us is to get the person out of the police station.'

Zhou Ming said to Zhu Yao, and as soon as his words fell, he heard someone clap next to him. Zhou Ming and the others turned their heads and saw a white man with thinning hair walk in. He said to Zhou Ming, 'If you want to make money, you can do it at any time. This gentleman speaks so domineeringly!'

Zhou Ming looked at the receptionist with a puzzled expression. Before Zhou Ming could ask, the receptionist answered him very cleverly, 'This is Mr. Alan, a barrister in my law firm. His area of expertise is criminal procedural law.'

Upon hearing the name Alan, Zhou Ming frowned, as if he felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, but he couldn't think of it for the moment. However, Zhu Yao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, reminding Zhou Ming, 'Mr Zhou, I know this Alan. He is a famous barrister in Brighton who was once employed by the White House to help senior officials fight their cases. He is very impressive!'

After Zhu Yao's explanation, Zhou Ming suddenly remembered that Alan was the legal advisor to the White House twenty years later, commonly known as the president's lawyer. No wonder he felt familiar with him, he must have heard or seen him on the news.

'It turns out to be Lawyer Allen. Hello, I'm Ming Zhou. My friend has been arrested and taken to the police station. I hope to bail him out, and I was wondering if Lawyer Allen would be willing to help me?' Ming Zhou said to Allen. For Ming Zhou, since he had met such a good lawyer, there was naturally no reason to let him go. Since he was the lawyer for the president 20 years later, he must have his own unique qualities.

Allen smiled and nodded: 'I would be very happy to help you, distinguished Chinese gentleman.'
