Chapter 1754: Never Thought Sharp Tongued Xu Baohan Would Help
The woman was stunned by his sharp words. An Lan was stunned, too. She never thought that the sharp-tongued Xu Baohan would actually help her.
Before she could react, Xu Baohan continued, “Does she know your hubby? Does she know that mistress? She doesn’t even know you. The country doesn’t need people like you to uphold justice. Your actions are contrary to the law.
Nevertheless, I can see that you don’t know anything about the law. But I can tell you that according to article 275 of the criminal law, whoever intentionally destroys public or private property, if the amount is large or if there are other serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or a fine. If the amount is huge or if there are other particularly serious circumstances, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.”
An Lan almost gave him a thumbs up when she heard that. As expected of a judge, his understanding of the criminal law was at his finger tips which he could quote freely.
The woman panicked. “Nonsense, that Lin Hao killed his wife and was only sentenced to three years in prison.”
“It seems like you really don’t know much about the law,” Xu Baohan calmly took out his phone and dialed 110, “so I have to send you to the police station to learn and understand better.”
The woman wasn’t afraid of calling the police, but she was lost when she heard the long term of imprisonment. She screamed, “Why are you helping a woman like her? A woman like her should go to hell!”
Xu Baohan frowned and when he was about to speak, An Lan felt that since he had already helped her, she couldn’t let him continue helping her anymore, so she spoke before he could. “What kind of woman is a woman like me? Why must I go to hell? Did I do anything insane?”
The woman sneered. “Everyone knows clearly what you did. A lot of netizens did not know. Do you want me to tell them all?”
“Sure.”
An Lan nodded. “There’s actually someone filming on the side today, then I’ll confront you. That’s right, my sister is a mistress, she did something wrong. Does this mean that others could cut her face and disfigure her without any restraint?
This is an illegal act in the eyes of the law. Since it’s illegal, we should appeal. This is also the responsibility of a lawyer like me. Nowadays, who doesn’t have family members who do wrong that we hate so much? Does it mean that we can just ignore her because she was wrong?”
The onlookers looked at each other speechlessly. Initially, it was very satisfying that the mistress was punished. But now that they thought about it from her point of view, they actually felt that it did make some sense.
But the woman was unwilling to accept it and was about to open her mouth again. An Lan took a step forward and her gaze became overbearing, “As for what you said about me fighting Chen Juanqi’s case, that’s right, I lost the case. Don’t tell me that I can’t charge fees when I lose. Back then, we signed the agreement in black and white. I’m a lawyer, not a philanthropist. It’s only right and proper for me to charge fees. Don’t make yourself sound so great.”
“Don’t tell me that when you see an old lady or a child begging on the street and you feel sorry for them, you will be kind enough to give them 10 or 100 yuan every time you see them! Don’t tell me that when people owe you money and when you see that they don’t have a good family background, they don’t have to pay you back! Or when you see an old lady selling vegetables on the street at her age, you will give her more money! Have you done all these before?”
The woman continued to be confused by her long speech.
