Chapter 31: Lawyers

The United States is a capitalist country, and as long as you have green dollars in your pocket, a shrewd and capable lawyer, and a well-connected broker, there is nothing that cannot be settled.

Leon naturally needs the help of a lawyer if he wants to handle the follow-up procedures at Williams Manor smoothly, and the famous barristers at Gotham City's top law firms are basically inextricably linked to the gangsters, helping the latter to settle the situation and get out of crime.

In this case, Li Ang had no choice but to find a third-rate lawyer according to the map.

James McGill Law Firm, fair prices, no deception, abide by professional ethics, and serve you wholeheartedly.

Of course, this was just a slogan on a humble web page, and Leon called the Mr. Jimmy McGill and invited him to meet at a fancy restaurant in the evening for a detailed discussion.

"Mr. Li Ang, there is no case that I can't handle, as long as you hire me to stand by you, any accusations against you will be resolved in court if they can't go to court."

Jimmy McGill is a middle-aged, greasy man with a smooth tongue, but it is clear that this trait does not help him to establish himself in the legal profession, and as can be seen from his well-maintained but old-fashioned suit with slit cuffs, cheap watches and leather shoes, Jimmy has been a little tight lately - he grabs the tender steak on the table with sauce on the table without a trace, and swallows covertly.

"Mr. McGill, I note that the address of your law firm is 15 Adams Road, Upper West Side." Leon calmly passed the fragrant steak into his mouth with a fork and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a one-story foot bath shop." ”

"Yes, there's a vacancy next door to that foot bath shop, and I'm an old acquaintance with the proprietress there." Jimmy McGill's face did not change, and he said: "Because the new studio is still being renovated, to be precise, it is spray-painted, and the residual smell is very strong, which is not friendly to those visiting customers, so I changed the workplace a little." ”

Leon was too lazy to expose his lies, that Mr. Jimmy McGill was driving an old, earthy second-hand sedan with a humming engine and old paint, and in the words of the Lower Riba people, "this broken car that should have been parked in a garbage heap instead of on the road is only worth $200, and the only way to get it to be worth $500 is to have a $300 prostitute in it." ”

Li Ang was too lazy to be vain, and said directly: "Mr. McGill, as I said on the phone, there is only one reason why I want to hire you: as a minor overseas immigrant, I want to buy a manor, and my parents are unfortunately no longer in this world, and you have to help me with those cumbersome contract procedures." ”

According to the rules of real estate transactions in the United States, the process of hiring a broker, loan pre-approval, housing inspection and even property rights transfer, and purchasing insurance can be handed over to the housing agent for processing, but the purchase of the estate is stolen money, even if it is washed once, there are still hidden dangers, and secondly, the Gotham gang has many eyes and ears in the real estate industry, and Richard has been robbed of three million dollars in the past few days, and he has a very tight view of the huge amount of money in the city.

In addition, Leon's own immigration status is another obstacle, and in this case, it is better to entrust it to a professional.

The frustrated Jimmy McGill in front of him has to be said to be a strange person, he went to the University of American Samoa, and graduated through distance teaching, in short, he was born as a scumbag at the University of Pheasants in the United States, which is extremely rare in the lawyer circle who can smash more than half of the Ivy League degrees under a brick.

Coupled with Jimmy's slippery head and poor reputation, almost no one was willing to hire him, so he had to be a perfunctory public defender in the Gotham courts, dealing with dirty work that no lawyer was willing to take on and that paid little.

Needless to say, when this kind of hard work for a lawyer hits a wall everywhere, his professional ethics will be the same as the waistband of a pole dancer in a nightclub, and the river will go down and down.

At this moment, Jimmy McGill refused to ask Leon, an immigrant minor, where he got the huge sum of money that could buy real estate, and whether there was an iron hook hidden in this bait.

He was keenly aware that the Chinese teenager in front of him might be the only chance for him to operate, so he immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and patted his chest and said, "No problem, I can handle these legal matters." ”

Li Ang didn't mind giving the down-and-out lawyer a chance, and after hearing the promise, he took out the checkbook from his pocket, started to write, danced with dragons and phoenixes, drew silver hooks with iron, and signed a check for $20,000.

"Mr. McGill, I would like to hire you to be my lawyer, this is an advance payment for you, and the remaining half will be given to you after the property contract is signed." Li Ang smiled and pressed the check on the table and moved it to the opposite side, saying: "Please rest assured, this is just an ordinary real estate transaction, not a 'business' that requires human lives, you just need to treat me as a rich second generation with money and nowhere to spend." ”

Ten, hundred, thousand, thousand, thousand, five-digit dollar checks.

Even if Jimmy disguised it well, his slightly squirming Adam's apple and the time to move his eyes betrayed his excitement.

He took a deep breath, inhaled the remaining steak aroma in the air into his lungs, looked into Leon's eyes and said, "You won't be disappointed." ”

"That's good." Li Ang nodded with satisfaction, if you want to live in this country where capital is supreme and even practice the avenue, you can't do it without money, robbing Richard to earn the first pot of gold is just the beginning, and there will be no chance to deal with Brother Kong Fang in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Ang had a headache again, spending money like flowing water, just a Williams manor, which was used as a cultivation cave mansion, spent the three million dollars for seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

Li Ang, who is a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, thinks that he can't do it, he was the concubine of a certain Han Dynasty county king before he embarked on the road in his previous life, and he was used to living a life of lavish spending, fine clothes and fine food, even if he became a monk, after entering the WTO, he still spent as much money as he had in his pocket, and never saved.

"I have to think of a way to get money." Leon had a good conversation with his new lawyer, but his mind drifted to no one.

Why don't you rob the gangsters again? But since Richard was attacked, those gangsters have become cautious, and they are easily unwilling to leave the house, and when they go out, they are also equipped with bodyguards and guards, and the surroundings are impermeable, and there is no way to talk about kidnapping and ransom.

However, based on what they saw and heard at the Canary Restaurant that day, those Gotham gangsters may have been going to attack Bruce Wayne, the rich man in the city, recently, and maybe they can make a fuss about it.....
