Chapter 46: Lawyers
Taking Mai Xiaoqi out of the building, Xia Wen thanked Gao Liping.
Xia Wen only understands these legal knowledge, not in detail, and Gao Liping's move can be regarded as helping herself.
At that moment, Xia Wen explained the incident to Gao Liping.
After listening to Xia Wen's story, Gao Liping looked a little weird, and she didn't know how to speak, so she invited Xia Wen to get in the car and prepared to talk about it on the road.
Xia Wen took Mai Xiaoqi into the car and casually asked where to go.
Gao Liping explained that Mai Xiaoqi's matter should be resolved as soon as possible, and the two were not professionals, so they were going to take him to a lawyer for consultation.
Xia Wen nodded in agreement.
On the way, Gao Liping told Xia Wen about Mai Xiaoqi.
She wasn't too scared by the gunshots to speak.
She was originally normal, but when she was seven years old, after her parents died and she was raised by her uncle, due to the indifference of her uncle and his family, no one spoke to her for a long time in the family, and she slowly lost her ability to speak.
Outsiders didn't know (she had handled a transfer to another school), only when she was born mute, and it was the police officers of the Serious Crime Unit who asked some old neighbors around her house to find out about it.
When Xia Wen heard this, his heart suddenly calmed down, and he touched Mai Xiaoqi's hair, strengthening his determination to help her get out of the sea of suffering.
Gao Liping drove the way, and soon the two came to the first law firm.
The person in charge of the reception seems to be a trainee lawyer, her name is Li Wan'an, her face is bright and moving, her facial features are fine and three-dimensional, the lines are beautiful, her face is round, and her skin is fair.
With a goose egg face, her face is soft and without any edges, and she also combs the most popular curly hair balls at this time, with long sideburns on both sides.
The slightly long face is charming and heroic, and a pair of affectionate and resolute beautiful eyes have a bit of coldness, which is very seductive.
She smiled at the two of them, pursed her red lips, and the smile supported by her apple muscles revealed a sense of cuteness.
"You two may be seated!"
She led the two to the reception room, brought coffee again, and beckoned them to sit down.
When Xia Wen and Gao Liping sat down, she took out her notebook and began to ask about the situation of the two.
Li Wan'an asked and remembered, and the question was quite detailed, and soon recorded two full pages, most of which Gao Liping was answering, because Xia Wen didn't know anything about it.
After Li Wan'an finished recording and put away her notes, Xia Wen was impatient and asked her what she thought of this case.
Li Wan'an looked embarrassed, and then admitted to the two that she was only a trainee lawyer, not proficient in business, and could not make decisions about the affairs of the law firm, and whether to accept this case would need to wait for the law firm's barrister Ye Yingwen to come back before making a decision.
Ye Yingwen's name, of course Xia Wen has heard of it, it is the barrister invited by Tian Diwen, and he has a bad impression of her.
So Xia Wen looked at Gao Liping and shook his head at her slightly.
Seeing that Gao Liping also nodded lightly and agreed, Xia Wen stood up, handed her a string of phones, and said with a smile at Li Wan'an: "Miss Li, if there is any news, please notify us as soon as possible." ”
Li Wan'an noticed Xia Wen's actions and knew that he didn't like the law firm, but she didn't care, after all, this case was also quite troublesome, and it was difficult to collect evidence and it would take a long time.
Seeing that the two of them don't have much money, they will definitely not be able to negotiate on the issue of lawyers' fees.
At that moment, Li Wan'an sent the two out of the door, but her mouth was quite polite, and she said: "Officer Xia, Officer Gao, goodbye!" I'll let you know as soon as I have any news! ”
Then he smiled and waved goodbye to the two of them before turning around and walking into the law firm.
Xia Wen and Gao Liping glanced at each other, and they both had no hope for this law firm, so they took Mai Xiaoqi's hand together and turned downstairs together.
It was still Gao Liping who drove the way, Xia Wen led Mai Xiaoqi to continue to sit in the back seat, and the two went to the next law firm together.
The two were not familiar with each other, and Xia Wen had something on his mind, so the two didn't talk too much, but Gao Liping opened her mouth a few times, but she stopped talking, which seemed quite strange.
Xia Wen didn't care, Gao Liping might have something to ask herself, but she didn't have the heart to talk about it at the moment.
Hong Kong Island law firms were clustered here, and the two soon found another law firm.
The reception of the two was a lawyer surnamed Wu, her eyes were slightly smaller, the tails of her eyes were raised, her face was contoured and skinny, lacking gentleness, her cheekbones were too high, she looked mature, and her facial features were not outstanding at a glance, but when she moved her long wavy hair and big red lips, it made people feel amorous.
"Lawyer Wu Jiali!"
She stretched out her right hand, shook hands with Xia Wen and Gao Liping respectively, and introduced herself to the two.
She was wearing a white shirt, a black vest, black stockings and a black skirt, and high heels.
This guy is a lawyer?!
Xia Wen and Gao Liping glanced at each other, with a shocked look in their eyes, but the profession of the police let the two of them know: don't judge people by their appearance.
Wu Jiali also took out a notebook and asked the two of them questions, and the questions were quite detailed.
After learning more about the matter, she did not need to wait for the lawyer of the law firm like the previous law firm, but directly told the two that the lawsuit could be fought and the chances of winning were quite good.
She also professionally pointed out that there were problems in the relationship between the two and Mak Xiaoqi, and they could not stand up for Mak Xiaoqi, and the case must be taken up by other organizations such as the Child Welfare Association.
Xia Wen and Gao Liping, as professionals, knew about this matter, of course, Xia Wen saw that what she said was the Tao, and she didn't hide half and half of the words in her words, and couldn't help but have a good impression of her.
Xia Wen got up to thank her and asked if she had time to preside over the case.
Wu Jiali smiled and said that she had plenty of time and was willing to accept this commission, but she still suggested that the two of them go to the Child Welfare Council for consultation first, they usually have a familiar lawyer, and there is no need to look for them outside.
Xia Wen was stunned for a moment, and thanked her with a smile.
Then, he took Mai Xiaoqi and said goodbye to her.
"Lawyer Wu is not bad!"
After going downstairs, the two started a discussion, and both praised Wu Jiali.
Downstairs, Gao Liping dissuaded Xia Wen, because Mai Xiaoqi had no other relatives, even if the court ruled that Mai Xiaoqi's uncle did not fulfill his guardianship responsibilities and deprived him of his guardianship, who could replace Mai Xiaoqi's uncle's blood relationship and take care of Mai Xiaoqi?
It's better to take good care of her for a while, and wait until she can judge for herself, and let her decide whether to sue her uncle or not.
Gao Liping is right, Xia Wen has nothing to do with Mai Xiaoqi, so she can't make up her mind for Mai Xiaoqi, but looking at her current appearance, I'm afraid it's difficult to make up her own mind.
Xia Wen was eager to send Uncle Mai Xiaoqi to prison immediately, but his care after that was a big problem.
Xia Wen let out a long sigh, put this matter in his heart, and prepared to talk about it later.
How many times has this feeling of powerlessness. Morality, duty, these things are like shackles, firmly trapping themselves, and they can only sigh softly when they see injustice.
At the moment, Xia Wen felt quite powerless, and was not interested in continuing this kind of house-style game, thanked Gao Liping, and after obtaining her consent, led Mai Xiaoqi away.
