Chapter 012: Strike It Rich, a Million - dollar Legal Fee!

After the court trial ended, enthusiastic applause erupted on the spot. Amidst eyes full of respect, Lin Chuan didn't get carried away and calmly left the courtroom.

The duty of a lawyer is to uphold the fairness and justice of the law and seek legitimate rights and interests for the client.

In the eyes of others, Lin Chuan was a great hero who brought legal punishment to He Tianyi. But from his perspective, he had just fulfilled his obligations as a lawyer.

Moreover, today was Lin Chuan's first time in court. It started with a strong headwind but ended with a tailwind. There were overwhelming praises on the Internet. But Lin Chuan didn't get carried away. He knew that the road ahead was long and he must not be lost in applause and flowers. Today's case was the beginning of his career, not his peak.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, may I ask if you really interned at Xinyang Law Firm?"

Just as he walked out of the courtroom door, there was a dense crowd of media reporters, each holding a microphone as if they couldn't wait to stuff it into Lin Chuan's mouth.

"Yes. Two days ago, I was just fired by Xinyang Law Firm. Lawyer Zhang Changming took the backdoor and replaced my position with his son."

The microphone badge read "Luzhou TV Station", and the reporter was the first to rush in front of Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was a little unaccustomed to this scene for the first time, but he soon adjusted himself.

"Ah? It's Lawyer Zhang Changming whom you personally sent to prison!"

"This is big news!"

"Quick, quick, quick, record it and publish it on the front page of the newspaper."

Before Lin Chuan finished speaking, special newspeople in the back - ends of major media had already started writing.

Two minutes later, one eye - catching news report after another immediately climbed to the hot search.

Enmity Situation: The Life - and - Death Battle between Lin Chuan and Zhang Changming!

Luzhou's Gold - Medal Lawyer Zhang Changming Was Defeated by Intern Lawyer Lin Chuan. The Two Were Once Colleagues!

Xinyang Law Firm Suffered a Great Loss by Losing the Talented Lawyer Lin Chuan.

...

At the same time, reporters who were staking out at Xinyang Law Firm and fighting on two fronts also started to act.

"Mr. Gao Yang, Chairman of Xinyang Law Firm. May I ask if what Lin Chuan said is true? Did he really suffer unfair treatment?"

"And, do you know about Lawyer Zhang Changming taking the backdoor?"

"Besides, has Lawyer Zhang Changming's son started working at Xinyang Law Firm?"

...

The reporters bombarded with questions one after another, but Gao Yang, the chairman of Xinyang Law Firm, was frustrated and remained silent to every question!

His mood at this moment was as cold as a mid - winter day with heavy snow all over the sky!

Not only was the signboard of Xinyang Law Firm smashed, but also the gold - medal lawyer Zhang Changming in the firm was imprisoned, losing a great general!

Most fatally, Xinyang Law Firm actually fired the talented lawyer Lin Chuan!

This was the biggest loss.

"Move aside! Move aside!"

Gao Yang had no mood to be interviewed at all. He pushed aside the reporters and rushed towards the direction of Luzhou People's Court like crazy.

His goal was clear. He would apologize to Lin Chuan with thorns on his back and invite this great Buddha back to Xinyang Law Firm. In this way, perhaps he could still save the signboard of Xinyang. Otherwise, just wait for it to go bankrupt!

...

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Luzhou People's Court, the reporters were still asking questions enthusiastically.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, may I ask if you have a girlfriend?"

A reporter from Luzhou Entertainment Evening News handed over the microphone.

"..." Lin Chuan was speechless. He thought that the reporters' questions would all be related to the law, but he didn't expect there to be personal questions.

"At present, you are very popular on the Internet. Many female fans hope to know about your emotional life."

"So, please answer."

The female reporter from the entertainment evening newspaper continued to ask.

This time Lin Chuan responded to her with dark humor.

"Beauty, do you want to be sentenced?"

With this sentence, the female reporter was immediately scared and withdrew the microphone.

Daring to question a lawyer's private life? Wasn't this like rushing towards a gun muzzle?

Section 17

Moreover, Lin Chuan's ability to fight lawsuits had been spread all over the Internet as if it were magical. Even judges had been sent to prison by him to operate sewing machines. Even on the dangerous - person ranking website, Lin Chuan overwhelmed the five - star terrorist Bin Laden with a large number of votes and climbed to the top.

He was listed as the most dangerous person in the country.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, our TV station won't ask useless questions. Please give us a chance."

A reporter from Luzhou TV Station squeezed through with great difficulty.

"Okay, you can ask."

Lin Chuan nodded to indicate.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, it is said that the police have already started their actions and arrested the suspect He Xiao."

"As of now, the stock of Anxin Monitoring Group has hit the limit down."

"What do you think about this?"

The female reporter asked crisply.

"How do I think?"

"I can only remind all investors that the stock market is risky and investment needs to be cautious."

Lin Chuan had actually anticipated this. As the chairman of Anxin Monitoring Group, once He Xiao was involved in the case, the stock of Anxin Monitoring would surely fall sharply.

"Please let me pass. I have something important to see Lawyer Lin Chuan!"

A fat guy rushed into Lin Chuan's law firm.

After carefully looking him over, Lin Chuan had no impression of this person and didn't recognize him at all.

"Hello, Lawyer Lin Chuan."

"I'm Luo Daqiang, the initiator of the online fundraising for Ms. Zheng's case."

"Thank you very much for winning this lawsuit for Ms. Zheng. On behalf of netizens, I would like to thank you."

Luo Daqiang bowed and then took out a bank card.

"After two days of online fundraising activities, a total of 1,008,000 yuan of enthusiastic donations were received."

"The original intention of raising funds was to hire an excellent lawyer for Ms. Zheng."

"Because at that time... your intern lawyer identity... everyone thought that it might be broken when facing Zhang Changming."

"So, I launched this fundraising activity."

"But, as it turns out, we were all wrong. I apologize to you!"

As he spoke, Luo Daqiang bowed again.

"Lawyer Lin Chuan, please don't refuse. Please be sure to accept this bank card!"

"Refuse?"

"Why should I refuse?"

Lin Chuan's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the bank card. Without hesitation, he took the bank card and put it in his pocket.

Just kidding. This was one million yuan!

Upholding the fairness of the law was the duty of a lawyer, but liking money was human nature!

Moreover, his litigation work had been successfully completed. Since he had put in labor, what was there to be ashamed of in accepting remuneration?

"Well... Just accept it if you like."

Lin Chuan's unexpected move left Luo Daqiang at a loss.

On his way here just now, he had been imagining that such a just lawyer as Lin Chuan would definitely make all kinds of refusals when he gave him the bank card.

But unexpectedly, Lin Chuan didn't care about being pretentious at all and accepted everything!
