Chapter 238: Involving Regional Protection? Four words: not a big problem!
A false accusation by the plaintiff...?
It looked as though this case involved putting the plaintiff behind bars...?
But even so...
Xiao Haibo should have been able to handle a false accusation like this. How could it have reached the point of a case being opened?
Had the case-filing division or its staff done this deliberately?
Su Bai looked at Zhang Yuan. "Where did Lawyer Xiao handle the lawsuit?"
"Chong City," Zhang Yuan replied.
Su Bai nodded slightly. "All right, I understand. Tell me what happened in detail."
"Of course, Lawyer Su."
Zhang Yuan recounted the entire case in detail. The more Su Bai heard, the more absurd he found the trial.
Why...?
Because the grounds for prosecuting Xiao Haibo were that he was suspected of coaching his client.
The precise criminal charge for suspected coaching of a client was perjury, with coaching being the alleged form it took.
According to Zhang Yuan, Xiao Haibo's suspected coaching consisted of reminding his client of some things to watch out for before the hearing.
He had also advised his client on how to obtain evidence and make a strong case at trial.
After hearing Zhang Yuan's general account of the case and the details of what had happened...
Su Bai found the perjury accusation against Xiao Haibo utterly absurd.
Had someone set him up?
Thinking it over, there really was no explanation other than a setup!
After hearing Zhang Yuan out, Su Bai nodded slightly. "All right. Leave this case to me."
"Thank you, Lawyer Su..." Zhang Yuan said gratefully.
Su Bai smiled. "Lawyer Xiao and I have always been on good terms. Whatever happens, I'll make sure he wins this case."
"Don't worry!"
Su Bai gave him his assurance.
