75: The law is sometimes just that helpless.

Yao Ze had already made up his mind to just go through the motions and leave.

However, as a professional lawyer, he saw an opportunity here that could make him famous throughout the Dragon Kingdom.

Although he was currently a very famous lawyer in Longcheng,

and his firm's performance in Longcheng was excellent,

outside of Longcheng, his name wasn't quite as influential.

This had caused him to miss out on earning a great deal of money.

Defending Yao Yuan, however, might just make his name known across the Dragon Kingdom.

Longcheng's animal protection law was only just implemented today, so there were bound to be loopholes in the legislation.

With his skills, if he defended Yao, there was a high probability he could get Yao Yuan acquitted.

The implementation of Longcheng's animal protection law had caused a massive stir both domestically and internationally.

If this lawsuit went to trial, it would certainly attract a lot of attention.

Originally, Yao Yuan faced a maximum sentence of three years, but if he could get Yao Yuan acquitted through his defense, he would become completely famous throughout the Dragon Kingdom!

When that happened, more wealthy people would learn about him through this case and recognize his abilities!

This was the best possible advertisement!

In the future, if those wealthy people ever broke the law, the first person they would think of to get them off would be him.

Because he could get someone who was potentially facing three years in prison acquitted!

Who else would they go to if not him!

By then, he would surely become more and more famous, and the money would keep rolling in.

Once he saved up enough money, he could settle down in the USA.

He could develop his career and enjoy life over there.

Therefore, the matter of defending that idiot Yao Yuan was worth doing.

Firstly, it would give his mother an answer, and secondly, it would allow him to establish himself and become famous across the Dragon Kingdom.

So, he nodded expressionlessly and said to Yao Yuan, who was looking at him expectantly, "I'll take this case."

Hearing his Older Male Cousin's affirmative answer, Yao Yuan instantly fell into a state of ecstasy.

It's a sure thing!

It's completely in the bag now!

His relationship with his cousin wasn't very good, so he had originally worried that his cousin might ignore him.

He hadn't expected his cousin to agree right away.

It seemed his aunt must have given him plenty of instructions.

Good, good, good!

Once he got out of the police station, he definitely had to go and visit his aunt properly.

It had been quite a long time since he last went to see her.

Hahaha!

With Yao Ze defending him, he could rest easy.

A newly implemented animal protection law like this was child's play for Yao Ze.

It would be effortless.

There was a high probability he'd be acquitted, and only a very small chance he'd be sentenced.

But even if he were sentenced, it would be a few months at most; there was no way they'd give him three years.

He had great faith in his cousin's abilities.

Thus, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.

Meanwhile, Director Wang's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water.

His heart was filled with anxiety and a sense of powerlessness... Yao Ze returned to his luxuriously decorated law firm located in the core area of the CBD.

Yao Ze sat on a leather sofa with a glass of RED wine in his hand, while a dozen core members of the firm stood across from him.

He casually described Yao Yuan's case and concluded, "I've taken this case. Start preparing now. Focus on finding loopholes in the longcheng animal protection law and the police's evidence collection procedures. Make sure to find every point we can exploit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office was immediately filled with congratulations.

“If Boss Yao is taking action, then there's definitely no problem. These kinds of new laws have the most loopholes; it's the perfect chance for you to show off your skills!”

“Exactly, exactly. In that embezzlement case last time, the evidence was so solid, yet you still managed to turn it around. This case is a piece of cake for you!”

“Boss, this is a great case to make our firm famous. The level of attention will definitely be through the roof!”

“Although the opponent's evidence is solid, the legal applicability is debatable. We have plenty of room to maneuver.”

“That kid Yao Yuan really lucked out to have Lawyer Yao personally step in.”

“Let's hurry up and study the new legal provisions to find a breakthrough!”

Listening to his subordinates' flattery, Yao Ze was smug.

That's right, the first case of a high-profile new law was the perfect stage for him to establish a national reputation.

With his abilities, winning this case really wouldn't be difficult.

Furthermore, he had long since made even more long-term plans.

Yao Ze gave the order.

“Go and do two things right now. First, continue looking for legal loopholes and evidence issues.”

“Second, go to the major platforms and buy trending searches to build momentum for me. Emphasize my resume and past track record. I want everyone to know that I, Yao Ze, have taken over this case!”

The subordinates immediately understood Yao Ze's meaning and nodded in agreement before turning to get busy.

Soon, a series of related trending searches appeared on platforms like TikTok, RED, Bilibili, and Weibo.

As soon as these trending searches went live, they immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

“Holy crap, Yao Ze is actually defending Yao Yuan? That demon who tortured and killed 4,000 cats can actually hire such a powerful lawyer?”

“I checked Yao Ze's track record. It's over; that psycho Yao Yuan might actually be acquitted.”

“Can the law really not punish scum like this? This is so frustrating!”

“Lawyers like Yao Ze will take any case for money and fame, they have no bottom line!”

“I heard a female lawyer is going to represent those four thousand cats in court? Her courage is commendable, but against Yao Ze, it's looking grim.”

“I hope a miracle happens, otherwise this world is too disheartening.”

“With Yao Ze involved, it's basically a done deal. Sometimes the law is just that helpless.”

When the Longcheng Court announced that the case would be heard publicly in two days and live-streamed online, most netizens expressed that they didn't want to watch, believing the outcome was already a foregone conclusion and watching would only increase their anger.

The children of Longcheng's prominent families also quickly learned of the news.

Wu Tian, Guo Hao, and others were gathering at a private club. When they heard about Yao Ze defending Yao Yuan, they all began to discuss it.

“That fellow Yao Ze really does have some skills. Miss Lei might not be able to do anything to Yao Yuan this time.”

“Yeah, it's not like we don't know Yao Ze's methods. Last time my Older Male Cousin hit someone while drunk driving and wanted to hire Yao Ze, but he wouldn't even take the case, saying it was too simple and boring.”

“No matter how strong Miss Lei's background is, she can't ignore the law. So, I think Miss Lei is in trouble this time. Yao Ze knows the law too well; even if Miss Lei finds other lawyers, they might not be able to beat him. Plus, the animal protection law was just implemented and has too many loopholes; Yao Ze can turn it around with any random excuse.”

“I've looked into it. Yao Ze will definitely go all out this time to make a name for himself. He won't be easy to deal with.”

“Should we help Miss Lei scout for some powerful lawyers?”
