Danny Rand has been busy lately.

The employee inventory was over, and all those who had been involved in the drug pin business were fired, and the company signed an agreement with them that both parties would keep the drug-related matter confidential, and that they would be able to make a choice for their own future careers, believing that the well-educated white-collar workers knew what to do.

At present, it seems that the Hand has indeed been cleared out of the RAND Group, but everyone does not dare to take it lightly, the poison pin business is an important means of collecting money for the Hand Group, and now it has been uprooted, and it is not clear how they will retaliate in the future. You must know that the person who was arrested this time, the highest-ranking is just a puppet, the real mastermind behind the scenes, the strange whereabouts (xìng) (qíng) unpredictable Mrs. Gao has never shown up in this matter, where did she go, and what kind of plot did the other four high-level members of the Hand Gang hide in the shadow of (yīn)?

After discussing it for a few days, they still didn't have a clue, so they had to give up. When you don't know what the other party is going to do, the best way is not to show your flaws.

Danny in (cāo) heart his big company; Colleen still teaches students in the dojo; The Latovan father and daughter are settled in a very safe neighborhood by Danny, and are escorted by RAND Group security personnel (shēn); Claire hasn't been looking for them since that day, and it is unknown if she has contacted several other superpowers; Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian stayed in Danny's apartment on the Upper West Side.

A certain (rì), Danny asked the two of them to observe a lawsuit, and this invitation made Liu Zheng very puzzled.

Danny shook his head with a wry smile while driving: "Now that the global economy is in a recession, it is already a great success for a company to be able to do it without losing money." After the bankruptcy of the 'Life Foundation' on the West Coast, a lot of shady scenes were exposed by the TV station, which is good, and the public's trust in us is very low, and the drug business is even more difficult! ”

"And then, you owe someone a salary?"

"That's not it, brother." Danny smiled, "Although the main business of the RAND Group is life sciences and pharmaceuticals, we also have businesses in other fields, and we will not be unable to survive. Only, alas! I don't know what to say about it. ”

Liu Zheng looked at his (yù) speech and stopped in a hurry: "Say it!" What else do you have to say to me? ”

Danny sighed: "We had a problem before, the company had a problem with a chemical plant on Staten Island, and the local residents came to the door and said that within 1.6 kilometers of the chemical plant, there were 15 cancer patients in just a few years..."

"Damn, so serious? It is no coincidence that all 15 cases of cancer lived next to a chemical plant. Liu Zheng was surprised, he didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to the LAND Group.

"The most important thing is that when the company set up a factory on Staten Island, all the processes were verified by various federal, state and local agencies, and the test results were all qualified, and there was no environmental pollution problem at all. Therefore, the public relations team led by Joy rejected their request for compensation, but the sick family did not give up, but was ready to hire someone to investigate, and also hired a professional lawyer to prepare for a lawsuit with us. ”

"In this kind of case, the other party can't win at all. Even if they do find out that there is a link between factory emissions and disease, there are no regulations in New York to punish them, because everything you do is in accordance with national laws. Am I right? Luo Zhijian said with a smile.

Danny nodded silently.

"And what do you think?" Compared with the cold business negotiation words of the group's top management, Liu Zheng cares more about Danny's true thoughts on this matter.

Danny pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and after a long moment replied, "As one of the top executives of the company, I fully support Joey's approach, and their asking price is outrageous - $2 billion. Not to mention whether we can afford to pay or not, after all, there is no evidence that there is a problem with our chemical plant, and if we are forced to pay by threats or public pressure, then a bunch of people will immediately come to us and ask for money, which is definitely the company's strict (jìn) situation. But personally, I really hope to do something for them, the first rule of the Kunlun Gate is 'don't be evil', and I really can't choose to stand by and watch these people when I know that these people are being harmed (qíng). ”

"Senior brother, what would you do if it were you?" He turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng sincerely.

Liu Zheng shook his head: "Danny, the RAND Group was founded by your father and named after your surname, and only you have the qualifications to make decisions." ”

But he added: "Now that you are its successor, whether you think from a business point of view or from a human point of view, there is nothing wrong with it, and it will be the way your company will do things in the future." ”

Danny shuddered when he heard this: "No, no, if the RAND Group becomes a company that only recognizes capital and not people (qíng), then I really can't stay for a day." Thank you, brother, I know what to do. ”

Luo Zhijian said with a smile in the back row: "You make a decision, I don't know if you have to lose a lot of money, I see, the senior management of your company still wishes you not to come back." ”

"Who says it's not~ Alas! Ward and Joey must be going to blame me again..."Danny sighed, "You think I want to come back, I still prefer to practice in Kunlun rather than doing business, everyone is friend or foe, and there are not so many intrigues." ”

"Bear with me, Danny, when we destroy the Hand Clan... Cough! When Liu Zheng said this, Mrs. Gao's face jumped out of his mind, and his heart seemed to be stabbed hard, and the pain was enough to choke. He quietly adjusted his breathing, and finished the second half of the sentence: "You can go back to Kunlun." ”

The thought that he didn't want to stay in the RAND Group for the rest of his life, and that he could go back when the Hand was settled made made Danny's heart (qíng) improved.

"Let me think about how to deal with this matter, and hopefully our trip today will give me some inspiration. I got the word that they had one of the best lawyers in Hell's Kitchen, Matthew Michael Murdoch.

This person has no background, and he is not a person in a large company or any team, and he can gain a foothold in the legal circle by real talent. He has a reputation in Hell's Kitchen, a reputation for integrity and kindness, and often litigates clients who can't afford to pay for representation. I heard that he took the lawsuit for free today. ”

After listening to Danny's evaluation, Liu Zheng also became a little interested, the profession of lawyer has his special (xìng), and sometimes he can't rely on his heart to act. I don't know what kind of person can afford to be evaluated as 'integrity and kindness' in the mouth of the iron fist?

Liu Zheng had a general understanding that the plaintiff represented by Murdoch was a mother and son, and the defendant was Leonard Bokovic, the manager of the industrial department of the Midtown Metro Company. It appears that the subway company chose a hazardous substance during the construction of the station, which caused the plaintiff to fail at a young age. In this case, the plaintiff is the victim, and the Clinton Metro Company shirks its responsibility on the grounds of ignorance (qíng) and does not want to pay high damages, which is the focus of this lawsuit.

It turns out that Matthew Murdoch is just an ordinary middle-aged man, his haggard appearance and stubble on his face make him look a little old, and what Liu Zheng didn't expect the most is... He turned out to be blind!

There was some congestion on the road, and when they entered, the lawsuit had already begun, and although lawyer Murdoch was blind, his professionalism was indeed very high, standing in the middle of the courtroom and talking eloquently, without stage fright, and he looked like a veteran.

"You have repeatedly stated that the subway station at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 50th Street will be 'good for the community.' Mr. Bokowitz, in your professional opinion, do you think this outcome is favorable to Alan James? ”

Murdoch slapped a stack of papers on the plaintiff's desk, walked to the hearing bench, and asked a pot-bellied middle-aged white man sitting inside. It seems that this person is the leader of the subway company.

"We are the same family (qíng), but this incident is a misfortune."

"Did you know that the products used in your new metro station are harmful to children?"

The defense lawyer of the defense side sensed the sense of crisis and quickly stood up to express his dissatisfaction with the judge: "I am against it! This is unreasonable result-oriented! ”

Murdoch shrugged and unhurried: "Then I'll put it another way... What are the advantages of Endesa's products? ”

"Strong, long-lasting..."

"The price is half of the others." Murdoch quickly added.

The middle-aged man replied truthfully: "After all, I am in business. ”

"Is it worth hurting others to save money?"

"I didn't want to hurt anyone. All of our materials were tested, and as soon as those findings were announced, the company immediately replaced all the mortar from the other stations. ”

"One was announced? What do you mean? Murdoch keenly caught the holes in the middle-aged man's words, "Do you mean a report that was published earlier this year?" ”

The defense lawyer on the other side stood up nervously again: "Your Excellency, he is asking my client to give an unreasonably detailed answer!" ”

The judge ignored her and motioned for Murdoch to continue.

Murdoch nodded to the high hall and asked, "Mr. Bokovice, if I'm not mistaken, your office received an urgent letter from the Security Committee on October 13, three months ago, and I'm curious, does that have anything to do with Endesaben?" ”

"I... I don't know (qíng). ”

The defense lawyer has not given up: "Your Excellency, if Attorney Murdoch can prove that my client really received the documents that are supposed to exist, then..."

"The point is not whether he received it or not, but whether he deliberately ignored it!" Murdoch interrupted her noise, "Your Excellency, I request that this service record be included in evidence. ”

The middle-aged man was a little anxious and shouted, "But I often receive this kind of thing!" I-"

Which is worse? Ignoring data in order to save costs, or failing to submit evidence to court that might prove that you intentionally endangered the lives of others? Including this young man..."Murdoch's voice grew colder.

The defense lawyer screamed: "Your Excellency! ”

Murdoch roared, and a huge wave of voice overshadowed the woman's sharp voice: "Including this young man, Alan James!" He may never be able to walk again. ”

There was silence on the field, and everyone looked angrily at the manager of the subway company, who was obviously panicked.

His defense lawyer's face was so pale that she couldn't even stand on her feet, and for the first time she faced Matt Murdoch in court, she didn't expect this blind man to have so much energy.

"Your Excellency, we... request for a temporary adjournment..."

Murdoch snorted coldly, groped his way back to his position, and when he passed by the opposing lawyer (shēn), he said lightly: "Don't waste your efforts, I'm done." By the way, I think he's done too. ”

The following is the time of the defendant's statement, the opposing lawyer was discouraged by Murdoch, and now it is a mess, no matter how to make a defense statement, he can't play his original level, and the jury is rarely persuaded by her, (qíng) can be said to be one-sided.

Liu Zheng's English is not very good, and he is even more blind when it comes to various special words in law, so he didn't pay attention to Murdoch's wonderful interrogation just now, but has been carefully observing everyone on the field, especially this Matt Murdoch.

He touched Danny and Luo Zhijian, who were sitting on both sides, with his elbow, and lowered his voice: "This lawyer is not an ordinary person. ”

"Huh? How do you know? Danny was surprised.

"Look at his steps carefully, don't be fooled by the pretended movements of his hands." Liu Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Murdoch.

Danny has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his vision is actually higher than Liu Zheng's, but just now he was fully immersed in the words and swords of both sides, and did not pay attention to anything else.

First of all, because blind people can't see the road, in order to avoid wrestling, they will generally try to move forward when they walk, and their steps are generally very weak, and they will not step directly on them like ordinary people. Matt Murdoch has a very steady pace, which should not have happened.

But if it's just a step, it's not enough.

Secondly, his hands are also very strange. Danny and Liu Zheng have profound internal skills, their physiological functions are much stronger than ordinary people, and their eyes are the same as eagles, and the slightest place can't escape their eyes.

In order to avoid knocking over things themselves, blind people will have the habit of reaching out and touching everything around them, which will inevitably lead to nails, blades, or hot meetings, and their fingers will generally be injured. Murdoch didn't have any scars on his fingers, but quite a few on the back of his hand. There is also the calluses on top of each other on the four fist bones. These traits can only appear on a martial artist (shēn) who has been practicing boxing for many years!

Liu Zheng and Danny glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This Matt Murdoch, either not blind, or has other special talents, to create a lawyer (shēn), I'm afraid it's not so simple.

Who the hell is he?
