She dared not think any further. There was still a lot of information to organize. As her assistant, she had to do her best to provide lawyer Fei with as much convenience as possible so that she could focus her energy on the more important aspects.
Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.
Her heart leaped into her throat, her body trembled involuntarily, and her eyes were filled with tension.
"Lawyer, they're here again!"
Eri Kisaki's gaze sharpened: "Ms. Kuriyama, being afraid is useless. Open the door and let them in. I want to see what they're up to!"
The door opened, and a mocking voice rang out.
"Ms. Kuriyama, you're becoming increasingly incompetent as an assistant. I've been knocking on the door for ages and you still haven't opened it. This kind of service attitude makes me question the competence of your law firm even more. After all, details determine competence, don't you think?"
A burly middle-aged man wearing a plaid shirt walked in slowly. He had a scar on his eyebrow and dark skin, not much lighter than some Osaka black chicken.
He was over 1.9 meters tall, with a broad back and bulging chest muscles, exuding explosive power. Coupled with his slightly fierce appearance and the scar on his eyebrow, one could tell at a glance that he was definitely a vicious guy.
He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and as he came in, he took a deep drag with a hint of smugness, then exhaled heavily, his provocation obvious.
Behind this man were several other men with their hands in their pockets and smirking expressions. All of them had tattoos and were clearly delinquents.
"Mr. Pengshan, please note that this is my law firm, and smoking is prohibited here. If you wish to smoke, please go to the designated smoking area at the end of the corridor on the second floor. Otherwise, I have the right to ask you to leave!"
The burly man, Kenji Hōyama, chuckled a few times: "It's just my little habit. I didn't expect Attorney Kisaki to care so much. Well then, I won't smoke anymore. You guys, put out your cigarettes too!"
As he spoke, he released his fingers, and the cigarette fell to the ground, landing on the carpet. The burning cigarette butt immediately left a small charred hole in the carpet.
Then a leather shoe landed and crushed the cigarette butt.
However, the once neat and beautiful carpet was now stained with dirt.
The thugs under Kenji Hōyama followed suit, throwing their cigarette butts on the carpet and crushing them with their feet, leaving the carpet filthy and unsightly.
"What exactly do you guys want to do!" Miss Kuriyama could no longer hold back and shouted angrily.
Kenji Hōyama chuckled dismissively, "Miss Kuriyama, please don't get agitated. We've been strictly following Attorney Kisaki's instructions. What? Smoking is forbidden, and not smoking is forbidden? The rules here are truly baffling."
He's clearly here on purpose to cause trouble. No matter what you say, he can find fault with you, so arguing with this kind of person is completely unnecessary.
Fei Ying was well aware of this, and snorted coldly, saying, "Alright, Mr. Pengshan, what is it you need? If it's a legal issue, I can answer it for you."
If you don't have any legal issues, please leave now. I have many things to take care of and don't have much time to waste on people who haven't made an appointment.
Listening to Eri Kisaki's words, Kenji Hōyama used his little finger with long fingernails to fiercely pick at his ear, and then blew hard.
“Attorney Kiyoshi, let’s be frank. Butler Shimura’s words were quite clear. Mr. Yamaguchi’s patience is limited. Today, Attorney Kiyoshi must take a clear stance, otherwise, it won’t be so easy to fob us off.”
Chapter 84 You must need to investigate infidelity, right?
"The time has finally come!"
Eri knew in her heart that the other party's patience had finally run out, and the delaying tactics had lost their effectiveness. If she did not give the other party a clear answer today, the other party would definitely not give up.
Her fingers moved quickly across the keys on her phone, sending a message and letting out a slight sigh of relief.
Having worked in the legal profession for so many years, she has accumulated a considerable network of connections and knows many high-ranking police officers.
The message I just sent is a plea for help from someone in the Metropolitan Police Department. Once that person arrives, this crisis will be successfully resolved. We'll send all these thugs to jail for a while, and then use this opportunity to send a public lawyer's letter to the Yamaguchi family.
Even though this is tantamount to declaring war, only by making the conflict public and relying on public opinion can we make the other side think twice and not dare to use underhanded means.
This is also the best choice for her right now.
Kenji Hōyama's face grew increasingly grim.
"Attorney Fei, please give me an answer as soon as possible. Our patience is not unlimited. If you insist on going your own way, then we have nothing more to discuss."
By the end, the murderous intent in his eyes was becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.
As a notorious gangster in Dongdu, he always kept his word and had little patience, even when arguing with a lawyer.
All he needs now is a result, and once he achieves his goal, he will leave immediately.
After all, this female lawyer was quite difficult to deal with, and he didn't want to offend her too much unless necessary.
However, if she insists on rejecting his "good intentions," then she can't blame herself.
After all, there will always be people who suffer from car accidents or other unexpected events, and losing hands or feet is common.
Accidents always arrive before justice, don't they?
Eri looked him straight in the eye, without the slightest fear in her eyes.
“Mr. Hōyama, I think we have nothing more to talk about. Please go back and tell certain people that since I, Eri Kisaki, have taken on this case, I have absolutely no intention of giving up halfway.”
I will only represent the interests of my client in court and will present arguments that are favorable to my client. This will never change!
With a resolute and unambiguous tone, there was no room for ambiguity whatsoever; clearly, this was Eri Kisaki's true thought!
Those vague words I said before were just to appease them.
He immediately gave a cold laugh and stood up.
"Attorney Fei, refusing someone's kindness is not a rational thing to do. I've said what I needed to say. Since you won't listen, I have no choice but to take my leave. I hope you won't regret it."
No matter how arrogant they are, they can't possibly take action now, but it's clear that they will start acting once they leave.
Just then, a figure rushed in with great fanfare.
"You bastard, what do you want to do to my Mile!"
The figure rushed over, grabbed the other person's collar, and glared at them face to face, his eyes practically spitting fire.
"Who goes there? Let go of our boss!"
"Are you asking for it? Let go of me!"
The henchmen, seeing that someone dared to fight their boss, became furious and were about to rush forward.
Unexpectedly, Kenji Hōyama simply waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face as he looked at the person who had just arrived.
"Who do we have here? It's Mr. Mori! I heard you're still a detective? A third-rate, lousy detective, running a third-rate detective agency, only able to help people find their pets and investigate affairs, and now you're all high and mighty, huh?"
"You bastard..."
Kogoro Mouri was absolutely furious. He had rushed over in a panic, only to hear this group threatening Eri Kisaki and now being mocked by this bastard. He simply couldn't stand it!
"Kogoro, stop!"
Eri Kisaki hurriedly came over and grabbed Kogoro: "This is my law firm, not a place for fighting. Mr. Hōyama, please leave immediately!"
"Humph"
He gently freed himself from Kogoro Mouri's hands, his contemptuous smile widening, a cold laugh rising in his heart.
"You shameless woman, how dare you refuse? Just you wait, you'll see what I'm capable of sooner or later."
A lewd glint flashed in his eyes.
Previously, out of fear of Eri's status and position, they only wanted to teach her a lesson, not to offend her too much.
But things are different now. The Yamaguchi family's matter must be resolved. Since negotiations cannot resolve it, we can only use other methods.
As for the method, it's quite simple: since we can't solve the problem, we should deal with the person who created it, and then everything will be fine.
However, this wretched woman is also a rare beauty, and he has never enjoyed such an intellectual, elegant, mature, and beautiful woman before.
Where in those entertainment venues can you find such a gem?
Since that's the case, it's better to make the best use of them.
He was about to turn and leave when he got back, as he needed to make immediate arrangements to ensure that the matter was handled flawlessly.
Just as he reached the door, a figure walked out from outside and blocked his way.
"Where did you come from, kid? Get out of here!" a thug with tattooed arms and dyed yellow hair yelled angrily.
The newcomer stood in the shadows and laughed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is a law firm. Since when did a bunch of thugs have the right to spout nonsense in front of a law firm?"
As he spoke, he stepped out of the shadows, revealing himself to be a tall, upright young man with broad shoulders and a gentle, handsome face, yet with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
Especially her eyes, which were warm and jade-like, yet exuded a calm feeling like the rhythm of water.
Genda River's original appearance was actually quite outstanding. After all, he was a descendant of a large family, and with each generation mating, the offspring were naturally not bad.
Previously, his weight simply obscured his appearance, but now that the protective layer of fat has been removed, he looks much better.
Moreover, because he had cultivated the Water Breathing technique and the Demon Back Muscles, he naturally possessed a heavy and imposing aura, which gave him an oppressive presence simply by standing there.
"Mr. Hōyama, is that right? Let's get acquainted. My name is Gendagawa. I'm a fledgling detective who also does some part-time work as a bodyguard. My business is quite extensive, including finding all kinds of pets and investigating extramarital affairs."
These are all within my scope of service. Prices vary depending on the complexity of the case, but they are absolutely fair. If it's a lost pet, it will only cost around 50,000 yen. If it's investigating infidelity, the fee will be higher, around 200,000 yen. We can negotiate the price. How about giving it a try?
Try it? You think I'll try it?!
Kenji Hōyama immediately realized that this guy was clearly deliberately picking a fight!
"You little bastard, are you tired of living? How dare you spout nonsense here? Our boss is strong and vigorous, he wouldn't need you to investigate any extramarital affairs!" the tattooed blond-haired guy shouted angrily.
Genda nodded: "Perhaps, but you look pale and thin, and your hair is dry and yellow. It seems you've been suffering from kidney deficiency for a long time. You definitely need this business, right?"
P.S.: The college entrance exam is almost over. Maintaining a stable mindset is the most important thing. Wishing everyone the best of luck!
