Future News: My Phone Mutated

Chapter 54: Would You Dare To Accept It?

“I took away your chance to change your fate, so this is your chance to stand out.”

“As for whether or not you can grasp it, that will depend on yourself.”

It was not that Lin Bai was a saint. It was just a matter of law. After all, it was not his specialty.

Moreover, he had too many secrets. It was not convenient for him to expose Shen Wanqing personally.

Then, he needed someone to expose all the dirt on Shen Wanqing on his behalf.

If that person could also defend the rights of the victims and recover the losses, that would be the best.

Huo Yanhui happened to be a lawyer, and he urgently needed a chance to prove himself.

That was why Lin Bai naturally thought of him.

As for whether Huo Yanhui would accept the task or not, that was up to him.

Anyway, even if he didn’t accept it, there were still plenty of people who were willing to accept it.

There were many lawyers who wanted to build a reputation and accumulate fame, so there was no need to worry about not being able to find them.

With the intentions of just giving it a try, Lin Bai added Huo Yanhui’s Weibo account with his alternate account.

As soon as he added it, Huo Yanhui took the initiative to send him a message.

“Hello, I’m Huo Yanhui from Jindu Law Firm. Is there anything I can help you with?”

Looking at the speed of his message, Lin Bai knew that he was definitely not valued at the law firm and could not get any serious cases.

Therefore, it was not easy for him to get a potential consulting client, so he was particularly eager. He hoped that the inquirer would entrust him with a lawsuit so that he could have a chance to prove his ability.

Lin Bai did not beat around the bush. He went straight to the point and said, “I want to find someone to help with my lawsuit, or rather, more than one lawsuit.”

“To be more precise, it’s to defend the rights of a group of victims and help them get justice.”

“Do you dare to take on this case?”

Huo Yanhui looked at the message on the screen and was stunned for a while. He could not believe his eyes.

His intuition told him that this was the opportunity that he had been dreaming of.

Although his identity as the illegitimate son of the Huo family had brought him some convenience, it was more of a hindrance and restraint.

Many times, even though he had obtained the opportunity through hard work, others would think that he had obtained it through the Huo family’s ties.

No one believed that he really had the ability.

No one believed that he could become an outstanding lawyer.

The tasks assigned to him by the law firm were always trivial cases that didn’t require much skill.

If he won, no one would think that he was amazing.

If something went wrong, everyone would think that he was not capable enough.

He had long been fed up with this kind of life!

Huo Yanhui did not even ask. He answered directly, “I dare! Leave it to me!”

Lin Bai did not waste any time. He immediately sent all the information that he had gathered overnight to Huo Yanhui.

“This is the relevant information. Take a look first and tell me after you’re done. How confident are you?” Lin Bai said.

Huo Yanhui quickly skimmed through the information.

Looking at the heinous crimes one by one, Huo Yanhui felt his teeth chatter.

Although he did not know the victims, he could not bear to watch the things that Shen Wanqing had done!

“After reading the information, how confident am I? I can’t answer that question. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will do my best to help the victims get justice!” Huo Yanhui said.

Lin Bai said, “Alright, I believe in your ability. Go ahead and do it.”

“Let’s start with the case of Yunding Villa’s absentee workers being injured by the explosion. Those injured miners are still in the hospital and will continue to pay for their medical fees.”

“They are all in S City’s first hospital. I will send you the contact information of the mine owner, Wang Huaigu later.”

“I don’t know much about the specific situation at that time. You can ask Wang Huaigu directly.”

Huo Yanhui immediately agreed.

“Then I’ll immediately ask for leave from the leader and buy a ticket to S City.”

“Oh right, I still don’t know your surname. How should I address you?”

Huo Yanhui only remembered at this time that he had forgotten to ask for the other party’s identity. Moreover, the lawyer fees had never been discussed.

However, he did not really care about the lawyer fees.

He was not short of money anyway. As long as he had the opportunity to prove his ability, he was willing to be paid nothing.

Since Lin Bai had contacted him through his alternate account, it was naturally impossible for him to expose his true identity.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Bai decided to use the alias Mr. A.

“You can call me Mr. A,” he said.

“…”

Huo Yanhui was silent for a long time before he finally asked the question that he wanted to ask the most.

“May I ask, did you attend the Sotheby’s auction the day before yesterday?”

If Huo Yanhui remembered correctly, the person who snatched away the “Summer Dream” painting that he had been longing for at the auction seemed to have gone by the monoalphabetic alias ‘A’, instead of his name.

Lin Bai felt that there was no need to deliberately hide this, so he simply admitted it.

“I did. I was the one who took away the Summer Dream.”

“If you regret and don’t want to accept this commission, it’s still not too late.”

After all, the two of them had a conflict at the auction. If Huo Yanhui was unwilling to accept the commission, Lin Bai would not force him.

In any case, Lin Bai did not have to insist on engaging him. It would be the same if Huo Yanhui did not accept the case and Lin Bai hired someone else.

Huo Yanhui never expected that the person who snatched his favorite painting at the auction would actually come to entrust him with a lawsuit.

Huo Yanhui felt extremely embarrassed when he thought about how he had once revealed his identity as the grandson Huo family and forced the other party to give up the auction.

For a moment, he did waver.

S City was not far from Dragon City, but it was not close either.

He did not know anything about the situation. If he rushed over rashly, he would definitely face all sorts of difficulties since he was not familiar with the place.

In addition, he had had a conflict with his client before. He wondered if Lin Bai had other motives for finding him this time.

‘Should I forget about it?’

Just as this thought appeared in Huo Yanhui’s mind, a pop-up window of a piece of news from TenCent suddenly popped up on his computer.

The headline read, “The strictest anti-crime operation in history is launched!”

Huo Yanhui only glanced at it casually. When he saw the headline clearly, he immediately changed his mind.

He quickly wrote to Lin Bai, “No, I must seek justice for the victims!”

“And I also believe that with your identity and status, Mr. A, you will not deliberately make things difficult for me just because of the small conflict at the auction.”

“If that’s the case, then why should I delay such an important task because of such a trivial matter?”

Huo Yanhui’s words were very beautiful. He had made everything clear so that Lin Bai could not target him from now on.

At the same time, he had also expressed the importance he attached to this task and won Lin Bai’s favor. It was really wise of him.

Lin Bai had never thought of making things difficult for him. Since Huo Yanhui was still willing to accept the commission, Lin Bai was also happy to save the hassle.
