Chapter 653: Chapter 419: Administrative Case! [Double Chapter, Requesting Monthly Votes!]

Thir... thirteen thousand?

And it’s fucking kilograms!?

At that moment, the entire dormitory suddenly fell silent, even the initially noisy neighboring dorm went quiet.

The few of them stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the computer.

Li Tao turned slightly, half-rising but freezing in position, as if the voice from the speaker had left him dumbfounded.

During the official media broadcast.

When those two hosts said this, you could visibly see their eye corners twitch and their pupils shrink, but they controlled it with their professional grace.

The next second, they continued speaking:

"This operation between Upper City and ’Haibei Province’, codenamed ’Ice Breaker’, was reported by the police as originating from a case in Upper City known as the ’Stamp Case’."

"On October 8th, while attempting to smuggle stamps, a catastrophic car accident happened involving members of the crime syndicate."

"The case was filed for investigation, and the plaintiff’s lawyer noticed suspicious clues during this period."

"..."

While speaking, a picture was shown.

The picture clearly displayed the scene of the crash, with a blood-soaked man as the main focus.

This man looked... somewhat familiar, but Li Tao couldn’t immediately recall who it was.

Fortunately, his quick-thinking roommate decided to screenshot it.

The broadcast continued.

"Finally, thanks to the enthusiastic efforts of a lawyer and the police from Upper City and Haibei Province, they successfully cracked the ’largest drug-related transaction since the establishment of the country’!"

"Suspects were captured... weapons seized... among them were several fugitives who had fled to the country related to the Chen family..."

"A wide array of prohibited items, totaling 13.2 tons, was uncovered!"

"Currently, the prosecution and public security have issued statements, pledging a serious investigation into those involved..."

"..."

As the host’s voice gently resonated.

Photo after photo emerged, showing firearms, ammunition, and images of those apprehended.

And as the news broadcast continued...

Li Tao became more and more incredulous, his face full of shock as he even climbed out of bed to join his roommate.

The group stared wide-eyed for quite a while, and finally...

"Whoa, is this for real!?"

Fatty Sun, Li Tao’s roommate, voiced in utter disbelief, as if he had heard some far-fetched tale.

He widened his eyes, incredulously asking:

"Thirteen tons!?"

"I mean, is it possible to quietly seize thirteen tons just like that!?"

Fatty Sun began doubting reality.

For law students, drug cases are particularly sensitive, with a clearly entrenched concept in their minds.

What concept?

A hundred grams constitutes a major case, a kilogram is a severe case.

And suddenly here comes one measured by the ton... and over ten tons!

In a place like Eastern Country... can such a case actually exist!?

"I mean, Old Wang, are you really watching a state media news?" Fatty Sun couldn’t help but question.

"I don’t know."

Old Wang was bewildered too. He exited the news, checked the channel, then entered again, only to further doubt his senses.

"It’s actually state media!"

Upon hearing this, the two couldn’t help but twitch their eyes and inhale sharply.

When did state media... become so intense!?

If this news wasn’t repeatedly confirmed, they would have thought it was some random station fabricating stories to grab attention!

"Tsk, a lawyer notices something wrong and then collaborates with the police..."

Fatty Sun was so stunned he didn’t know what to say.

Can lawyers even handle this sort of thing!?

First of all, in modern times, out of a thousand people, how many even know about ’LSD stamps’?

And just regarding investigative capabilities...

If you have that kind of investigative skill, why be a lawyer!? Be a police officer instead; regardless, even a one-time achievement like this... would at least land you a spot in the province!

"Who is this lawyer anyway? So brave!?"

Fatty Sun rubbed his head, incredulously saying.

"Does Upper City have such an amazing lawyer?"

On the side, Li Tao subconsciously straightened up.

His eyes were mixed with shock as well.

Though the news didn’t specify how the other party investigated, it was obvious there must have been plenty of intrigue involved.

Completely displaying personal capability!

This is exactly what he’s been looking for...

In that fleeting moment, Li Tao’s eyes lit up, and his heart skipped a beat as he blurted out:

"’Stamp Case’!"

"Check the recent Middle Court and High Court trial records!"

On hearing this, Fatty Sun and Old Wang snapped back to reality and quickly started searching the website.

Courts in Eastern Country have official websites.

Every case, as long as it’s not a special case involving minors, has an announcement posted officially after the trial.

And in the announcement, all participants in the trial are clearly listed.

So, if they find the case mentioned in the news, they can identify that lawyer!

Sure enough.

"Found it!"

In a moment of surprise, Old Wang yelled out.

On the computer screen, a trial record from ’Upper City Intermediate People’s Court’ and ’High People’s Court’ appeared.

And in the plaintiff attorney column, two words were written.

"Xu Liang!?"

Fatty Sun reflexively read it aloud.

As he continued reading... suddenly, he paused abruptly, then turned his head towards Li Tao.

Li Tao also instinctively looked at him, the two exchanged glances and saw the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

If they remembered correctly...

"During the recruitment session... wasn’t the head of a recruiting law firm called Xu Liang!?"

Li Tao suddenly spoke.

As his words fell, an instant silence filled the space between them.

Moments later...
