414: He is actually a judge?

“Do you want to come over to my place for a bit?” Li Xiuming thought that spending over two hours wandering around the community would be too difficult to endure. So he made a suggestion.

“To your parents’ house?” Liu Xiaolin asked.

“Yeah, my parents live in the building right ahead. We can go back and I can have a cup of tea and a game of chess with my father, and time will pass quicker.” Li Xiuming had been out with Liu Xiaolin all day and already wanted to go home, but he didn't feel right leaving Liu Xiaolin alone downstairs.

“Alright, staying at your place sounds good, but I need to buy some gifts to see your parents.” Liu Xiaolin said as he walked straight to the small supermarket from yesterday.

“Oh, are you that familiar with our Xinmin Community? You even know where to buy things?” Li Xiuming asked with a mysterious smile, “Did my sister Hongmei bring you here?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, or I won’t go to your house.” Liu Xiaolin glared at Li Xiuming, scaring him into quickly shutting his mouth.

“Boss, I’d like to buy some meat.” Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

“Oh, young man, you’re here again? Are you buying as much as yesterday?” The boss greeted Liu Xiaolin excitedly as soon as he saw him.

Local people in Yuhai City never bought so much meat at once when it wasn't a holiday, so the boss had a very deep impression of Liu Xiaolin.

“Yes, the same as yesterday will do.” Liu Xiaolin knew without looking back that Li Xiuming was definitely winking and trying to make fun of him, making fun of him for buying so much meat to see Hongmei’s family yesterday.

So, he told himself that if he didn't look at him, nothing had happened.

The boss cut the meat and ribs, bagged them separately, and handed them to Liu Xiaolin: “Here you go, the same amount as yesterday.”

After paying, Liu Xiaolin turned and walked out of the store.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you waiting for me? Do you know where to go?” Li Xiuming followed, muttering.

“You’d be perfect if you were a little less nosy.” Liu Xiaolin said irritably.

“Alright, alright, on account of you buying so much meat, I won’t be nosy.” Li Xiuming said with a grin as he led the way for Liu Xiaolin: “This way, the building ahead is it. My parents live on the sixth floor; they’re old and don’t like living on higher floors.”

When they walked in, Li Xiuming’s father and mother were very welcoming, especially when they learned that Liu Xiaolin was the client buying the house, they became even more enthusiastic.

They had never in their lives seen a buyer who, when buying a house, voluntarily offered compensation for renovations, saving their son three hundred thousand in renovation costs. How could they not be excited?

“Quick, sit down, sit down. I’ll brew you a pot of good tea. It’s mold tea from Shannan that I’m reluctant to drink myself; it tastes excellent.” Father Li said excitedly.

“No need to be so polite. I don’t know much about tea. A sip to quench my thirst is fine. Don’t give me such good tea. If I drink good tea, it’s like ‘a turtle eating barley—wasting food’.” Liu Xiaolin spoke in a string of two-part allegorical sayings.

“You can’t say that. You are our family’s lucky star, so I must bring out the best things to entertain you. Don’t leave tonight, have dinner at my place. It’s settled.” Father Li said while brewing tea.

“That works. Manager Liu just bought a lot of meat and ribs, so we’ll eat those tonight. Steamed ribs and twice-cooked pork.” Li Xiuming said as he took the bags of meat from Liu Xiaolin and handed them to Li Ma: “Mom, start preparing dinner now; I’m already craving it.”

“You little rascal, how can you let someone else buy things?” Father Li said irritably.

“I didn’t make him buy it; he insisted on buying it himself.” Li Xiuming said, sticking out his neck: “Look at you, you scold me as soon as I get home today. Whatever I do, you look down on it, hmph.”

“Brother Li, Uncle Li is just teasing you, don’t be angry.” Liu Xiaolin didn’t expect his arrival to cause a rift between father and son, so he quickly tried to mediate.

“Alright, I know, what can I do about my own father?” Li Xiuming said helplessly: “My father, this old judge, can never judge his own family matters clearly. Sigh…”

“Ah? Uncle Li is a judge?” Liu Xiaolin was a little surprised.

It was unthinkable that the son of a dignified judge would go to work in another province. Under normal circumstances, that would be impossible. Wouldn't a single word get him a job in the judicial system?

This situation could only mean one thing: Uncle Li was an upright and incorruptible good judge. If he was such a judge, could he discuss Hai Zhezhe’s appeal with him?

“Uncle Li, I have something I’d like to ask your advice on, if that’s alright?” Liu Xiaolin asked tentatively.

“Go ahead, I’ll see if I can answer you.” Father Li handed Liu Xiaolin a cup of tea and said.

“A friend of mine was falsely accused of tax evasion. We plan to find a Lawyer Team to appeal.” Liu Xiaolin looked at Father Li, who was listening intently, feeling a little excited: “We found the invoicing application form that he didn’t sign, and we also found the motive of the real tax evader. In this situation, do you think our chances of a successful appeal are high?”

After Father Li listened to Liu Xiaolin’s words with a frown, he looked at Liu Xiaolin in surprise: “You plan to appeal for Dr. Hai?”

“Ah? You know Dr. Hai?” Liu Xiaolin asked in great surprise.

“I do. When I was halfway through judging his case, they replaced me, citing that I was about to retire. At the time, I felt there were some issues with the prosecution’s evidence. Just as I was about to investigate further, they transferred me from my post, and I retired a month later.” Father Li said with a deep frown: “I was ready to dismiss the case, but they transferred me from my post. Only after I retired did I hear that Hai Zhezhe was sentenced to three years, and I felt wronged for him.”

“Really? Then can you help me recall what evidence the prosecution presented at the time?” Liu Xiaolin was overjoyed, not expecting to meet an old judge who had presided over Hai Zhezhe’s case.

“They had a lot of evidence at the time, but it was mainly evidence of the company’s tax evasion and evidence that Hai Zhezhe was the legal representative. This is ridiculous; they didn’t even investigate why the tax evasion occurred before arresting and sentencing the legal representative. What kind of company does that?” Father Li said sternly.

“Do you think we can succeed if we file an appeal?” Liu Xiaolin asked eagerly.

“Whether you can succeed, I don’t know, but if you want to succeed, you must find a good Lawyer Team.” Father Li said sternly: “You must use a large amount of facts to give those judges who sentenced Hai Zhezhe a few resounding slaps!” www.x33xs.com

“I have already hired a five-person Lawyer Team led by Lawyer Zhang, and I have great confidence in them.” Liu Xiaolin hurriedly said: “They should arrive in Yuhai City tomorrow and work from 1401, which I just bought.”
