Chapter 966 Targeting

Lu Yuan quickly introduced himself, "I hope you can give me more advice in the future." Su Qing put down the documents in her hand and looked him up and down: "I heard that you are a top student in the law school and won the championship in the moot court while you were in school?" "Yes... yes." Lu Yuan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "Very good." Su Qing stood up, "But remember, the real court is not as simple as the moot court. Here is a case, take a look first." She handed Lu Yuan a thick stack of information. This is a commercial contract dispute case. The plaintiff is a technology company and the defendant is a well-known large enterprise in the industry. As Lu Yuan looked through the documents, his brows furrowed more and more tightly: "Lawyer Su, this case seems to be very unfavorable to the plaintiff. The contract terms are almost all biased towards the defendant." "That's why we need to find the loopholes." Su Qing said, "Come with me to meet the client tomorrow, and you will be responsible for taking notes." The next day, in the client's conference room, Mr. Wang, the head of the technology company, had a worried look on his face: "Lawyer Su, our company has invested a lot of money in the research and development of new products and signed a cooperation agreement with the defendant. As a result, they unilaterally breached the contract and leaked our technology to competitors." Lu Yuan took notes carefully and suddenly noticed a detail: "Mr. Wang, the insurance policy stipulated in the contract does not guarantee the validity of the contract. Confidentiality clause, do you have evidence to prove that the defendant has violated it? "Mr. Wang's face changed: "This... I trusted them too much at that time and didn't leave enough evidence. "Su Qing glanced at Lu Yuan, and a trace of praise flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Wang, evidence is the key to winning. We need time to collect evidence. During this period, I hope your company can cooperate with us. "Back to the law firm, Su Qing said to Lu Yuan: "You observe very carefully, but remember, as a lawyer, you must not only find problems, but also solve them. Next, we have to find a way to find evidence that is favorable to the plaintiff. "During the investigation, Lu Yuan encountered many difficulties. The defendant's company's legal team is very strong and obstructed them from collecting evidence everywhere. To make matters worse, Lu Yuan discovered that his competitor, Zhang Cheng, a lawyer from another law firm, was also intervening in the case, and his means did not seem to be very bright. Late one night, Lu Yuan was still working overtime in the office, trying to find clues from a large number of emails. Suddenly, his cell phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number. "Lawyer Lu, I advise you not to investigate further." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "The interests involved in this case are too great, and you can't afford it." Lu Yuan held the phone tightly: "I am a lawyer, and my duty is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the parties." "Huh, naive!" The other party sneered and hung up the phone. Lu Yuan's investigation caused dissatisfaction in Zhang Cheng. At an industry gathering, Zhang Cheng mocked in front of everyone: "Lawyer Lu, you are working so hard just after entering the industry. Do you want to get to the top in one step? It's a pity that some cases can't be won by enthusiasm." Lu Yuan was so angry that his face turned pale. Just as he was about to refute, Su Qing pressed his shoulder: "Lawyer Zhang, the law is about evidence, not words." Her eyes were firm and sharp, making Zhang Cheng unconsciously look away. Under Su Qing's guidance, Lu Yuan finally found the key evidence-an internal email of the defendant's company, which clearly showed that they intentionally leaked the plaintiff's technology. However, the day before the trial, this evidence disappeared. "What's going on?" Su Qing's face was gloomy. "The documents have been locked in the safe. No one can access them except you and me." Lu Yuan thought of the threatening phone call and felt a chill in his heart: "Lawyer Su, I suspect someone is deliberately targeting us." Su Qing was silent for a while and said, "Now is not the time to pursue responsibility. We must find evidence again." In the next 24 hours, Lu Yuan and Su Qing searched for clues without sleep. They visited every employee of the plaintiff's company and checked all possible surveillance videos. Finally, in an inconspicuous backup hard drive, they found the lost email. On the day of the trial, the atmosphere in the court was tense. Zhang Cheng, as the defendant's attorney, spoke sharply and tried to confuse the audience. But Lu Yuan and Su Qing relied on sufficient evidence and rigorous debate to gain the upper hand step by step. "Your Honor, the defendant violated the contract and leaked commercial secrets. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive." Su Qing said in her final statement, "We ask the court to protect the plaintiff's legitimate rights and interests and restore justice to the law." In the end, the court ruled that the plaintiff won the case. The moment he walked out of the court, Mr. Wang excitedly shook hands with Lu Yuan and Su Qing: "Thank you, thank you so much!" However, this victory did not make Lu Yuan feel at ease. He knew that the road of the legal profession was full of challenges and temptations. In the days that followed, he took over various cases, including civil disputes and criminal cases. Each case was like a war without gunpowder, requiring him to deal with it with professionalism and wisdom. When handling a criminal case, Lu Yuan encountered a greater test. His client was a young college student who was accused of intentional injury. All the evidence pointed to his guilt, but Lu Yuan saw a trace of unwillingness and grievance in the eyes of the client. "Lawyer Lu, I really didn't hit anyone, they wronged me!" The client cried. Lu Yuan decided to investigate in depth. He visited every witness at the scene of the crime and checked a large number of surveillance videos. During the investigation, he found that a key witness was lying, and there seemed to be someone behind this witness. As the investigation deepened, Lu Yuan discovered that there was a bigger conspiracy behind this case. Someone wanted to use this college student to cover up his crime, and this person turned out to be a powerful local entrepreneur. "Lawyer Lu, I advise you to stop interfering." The entrepreneur sent someone to threaten him, "As long as you give up this case, I can give you a generous reward." Lu Yuan refused: "My reward is to let my client get a fair trial." Faced with huge pressure and threats, Lu Yuan did not back down. Together with Su Qing, he collected evidence, found witnesses, and launched a fierce confrontation with the other party. In court, they used facts and laws to expose the other party's conspiracy. In the end, the college student was acquitted, and the real criminal received the punishment he deserved. This case made Lu Yuan famous in the legal profession, but he was not proud of it. He always remembered his original intention of choosing the profession of lawyer - to uphold justice and protect the dignity of the law.
