My lawyer is here!
Once inside the private room, Officer Wang sat in the middle, with the middle-aged car owner, Xu Ning from the restaurant, and Manager Liu sitting on either side.
Before speaking, Wang Xudong looked at Xu Ning with a slightly strange expression, feeling somewhat speechless.
After two days of peace on the day before yesterday and yesterday, they met again today because of a police incident.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly, 'Do we really have to deal with each other every day?'
It's simply too mysterious!
Of course, after so many days and so many interactions, he also understood Xu Ning's character.
He is very rule-abiding!
Even if he has the power to break the rules, he won't do it.
If he has a conflict with someone else, it's most likely the other person's problem.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Wang Xudong said to the middle-aged car owner, "You go first!"
The car owner slammed the table and began to speak indignantly.
"A few days ago, I was eating at this restaurant. Because I drank alcohol, I called a designated driver from the restaurant, which was him."
"After that, I didn't use the car until today when I wanted to, but found that the car was scratched!"
"In the parking spot, there's a pillar on this side, so no other car could have possibly touched it!"
"So there's only one possibility: it was scratched when he was driving."
"I came to the restaurant to find him, and not only did he not admit it, but the restaurant even covered for him!"
"I called an expensive designated driver at your restaurant, wasn't it for peace of mind?"
"But when something happened, you all just shirked responsibility!"
"What's even more outrageous is that their restaurant even assaulted me and kicked me out!"
"Officer, you don't need to mediate this matter today, I definitely won't settle!"
"Whoever laid hands on me just now, lock him up for fifteen days!"
"In addition, they must compensate me for my losses!"
… Xu Ning looked at the car owner, who considered himself a victim, with a cold gaze, and let out a sneer.
Not to mention, this guy is quite eloquent.
This passionate accusation could easily make people believe he was the poor victim.
However, some things aren't true just because you say they are.
Wang Xudong was also a bit speechless at this moment.
Regardless of the truth of the matter, who do you think you are, to say someone should be locked up for fifteen days?
He turned to Xu Ning and Manager Liu, and said seriously, "You two also tell me what happened."
Manager Liu was about to speak, but Xu Ning pressed his hand down, stopping Manager Liu.
"Officer Wang, my lawyer will be here soon!"
"I'll explain in detail once he arrives."
Wang Xudong's expression instantly froze; Xu Ning had stumped him!
You actually called a lawyer for such a small matter?
Are rich people really that capricious?
However, he also figured out that the middle-aged car owner must have angered Xu Ning, and Xu Ning intended to pursue the matter to the end; otherwise, there would be no need for a lawyer to be present.
At this moment, the car owner on the opposite side also had question marks popping up above his head, his face full of suspicion.
Lawyer?
Regardless of the size of the matter, is it worth hiring a lawyer?
You, a designated driver, hiring a lawyer, don't you think that's ridiculous?
The money for a lawyer is enough for you to work as a designated driver for several months!
However, the word 'lawyer' still carried some weight, and the car owner inexplicably felt that the situation was taking an unfavorable turn.
For a time, the atmosphere in the private room was extremely strange.
A moment later, there was a knock on the private room door, and a waiter led two people in suits inside.
"Young Master Xu, I'm here!" Lawyer Hua said with a smile.
Xu Ning stood up, shook hands with Lawyer Hua, and also said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you with a trip so late."
Lawyer Hua blinked, "Young Master Xu, please don't say that. It's my honor that you would seek me out."
After letting go of his hand, Lawyer Hua pointed to the person beside him and introduced him to Xu Ning, "Young Master Xu, let me introduce you. This is Liu Qiming, an elite lawyer from our firm. From now on, he will be your exclusive legal consultant, and all your cases will be handled by him."
To win over Xu Ning, Lawyer Hua discussed it with his partners and specially arranged an exclusive legal consultant for Xu Ning.
Of course, there was another reason for this.
After all, Lawyer Hua is a renowned lawyer, and Xu Ning's cases are often minor, so it would be a waste to always have Lawyer Hua handle them.
With an exclusive lawyer, it would not only free up Lawyer Hua but also provide Xu Ning with better and more comprehensive service, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, if it were a major case requiring Lawyer Hua's involvement, Lawyer Hua certainly wouldn't refuse.
Xu Ning smiled and reached out to shake Liu Qiming's hand, "Hello, Lawyer Liu, please take care of me from now on."
"Young Master Xu, you should take care of me!" Liu Qiming quickly shook his hand, putting himself in a very humble position and saying, "My phone is on 24 hours a day; as long as you need me, I'll be there at your beck and call."
Wang Xudong wasn't too surprised, but the car owner was a bit dumbfounded.
Not only did a lawyer come, but two lawyers who seemed very imposing came.
The key is, the lawyers even called the designated driver "Young Master Xu"… What does this mean?
Could this designated driver be someone of high status?
But if he had status, who would work as a designated driver?
Watching this scene, he felt it was incredibly absurd.
After Xu Ning and the others introduced themselves, they all took their seats, and the atmosphere in the room became even stranger.
Officer Wang, as the police officer, sat in the middle, with the car owner and the two from the restaurant sitting opposite each other.
But now, the car owner was still alone on his side, while the restaurant's side had a row of four people, an exceptionally strong lineup.
Just the sheer presence made the car owner a bit flustered.
Xu Ning couldn't help but let out a sneer and slowly began to speak.
"Let me explain the situation!"
"During the designated driving that day, everything went smoothly, and there were no scratches at all on the way."
"I have video from my action camera to prove this point."
"But that's not the main point. Regardless of the car owner's intentions, you could have come to me to inquire or negotiate a resolution, rather than just showing up and cursing without asking any questions!"
"I didn't even know why he came to find me when he started verbally abusing me, so of course I would have the security guard kick him out!"
"At this point, he caused trouble in the restaurant, maliciously attacking our restaurant and causing extremely serious damage to its reputation!"
"Lawyer Liu, I might have to trouble you with the next steps!"
"You will represent me fully to sue him for public humiliation and to compensate me for damage to my reputation, as well as compensation for the reputational damage he caused the restaurant by causing trouble."
"I want to ask, is there any possibility of making him lose everything?"
By the end of his statement, Xu Ning's words were filled with coldness.
He always felt that he had been too kind before, always thinking of letting bygones be bygones.
But he gradually realized that some people admit their mistakes not because they know they were wrong, but because they are scared!
There's no need to show mercy to such people!
