Chapter 453 Guard Tang Tiefeng
Chapter 453 Guard Tang Tiefeng
The early spring sunshine sprinkles gently on the streets and alleys of Kuncheng. There is still a hint of winter chill in the air, but it cannot conceal the gradually budding spring.
The security guard sat steadily in the driver's seat of the luxury business car, controlling the steering wheel flexibly with his hands and his eyes focused.
With the low roar of the engine, the business car sped out smoothly like an arrow from a bow, weaving smoothly through the streets and blending into the traffic flow of this spring day.
Inside the car, Mu Xiaoji was extremely anxious, and beads of sweat had covered his forehead without him noticing.
Although the temperature in early spring was not high, his inner anxiety seemed to turn into a blazing flame that burned him.
His slender and slightly trembling fingers frantically searched through the address book on his mobile phone, his eyes full of anxiety and eagerness.
The contact avatars and names on the screen flashed quickly, and finally, he found Gu Qinming's phone number and dialed it without hesitation.
At this moment, Gu Qinming was sitting in the conference room, with several young legal assistants sitting around the round conference table.
The table in front of everyone was piled with various documents and materials, and the edges of the papers were bordered with a faint gold edge in the sunlight shining through the blinds.
The projector projected case-related evidence charts onto the wall. The key information in the charts was marked in red, making it very eye-catching.
Li Jin, the youngest member of the team, spoke first. He leaned forward slightly and pointed to a contract document on the projector, with a hint of urgency in his tone:
"Teacher Gu, I think the breakthrough of this case lies in the loophole in the terms of this contract.
The other party's definition of the delivery time in the contract is vague, so we can use this as a starting point to question their ability to perform the contract and demand corresponding compensation."
Assistant Wang, who was sitting opposite Li Jin, pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, shook his head slightly, and expressed a different opinion:
“Having said that, the other party must have been aware of this problem and was probably prepared.
I think it’s better to start with their early communication emails. There are several statements in the emails that reflect their underestimation of project risks, which is our powerful weapon.”
At this time, Assistant Zhao, who had been listening quietly, opened the thick file, cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, I have reviewed the entire case process and found that there is a detail that has been overlooked.
During the project implementation, there was a temporary plan change. Although there was a verbal communication record, there was no written document. This may be a big hidden danger. We have to think about how to deal with it so that the other party will not take advantage of it to make trouble. "
Gu Qinming's expression changed slightly: "Such a simple problem can be overlooked. Whoever followed up on this, clean up your mess immediately."
Xiao Zhou's face turned red instantly, he pursed his lips and nodded, silently recognizing his mistakes and negligence.
As everyone talked at once, the discussion became increasingly heated and the atmosphere in the meeting room became increasingly tense.
Gu Qinming leaned back in his chair, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, listening intently to everyone's speech, nodding slightly from time to time, lost in thought.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoji called. Gu Qinming frowned slightly, subconsciously took out his cell phone, and saw the flashing caller ID of "Mr. Mu" on the screen.
He was slightly startled, then quickly extended his thumb and skillfully slid the answer button: "Hello, Mr. Mu, what's going on?"
On the other end of the phone, Mu Xiaoji's voice was clearly anxious: "Gu Zhuang, are you busy?"
Gu Qinming keenly caught the strangeness in Mu Xiaoji's tone and quickly responded: "I'm not busy. If you need anything, just tell me."
Mu Xiaoji said succinctly: "I'm almost at your law firm! Are you there?"
"Yes, I'm here." Gu Qinming felt a little surprised when he heard the news that Mu Xiaoji was in Kuncheng.
"Come out immediately! Come with me to the city prison." Mu Xiaoji ordered immediately.
Gu Qinming felt the urgency and importance of the matter, and without any hesitation, he quickly responded, "Okay."
After hanging up the phone, the lady next to him asked in confusion, "Teacher Gu, are you leaving? The trial for this case will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow!"
Gu Qinming stood up quickly, walked quickly to the clothes rack, reached out to pick up the coat, and said methodically while putting it on:
"No rush. I'll give you some replies tonight. First, make a defense plan based on the direction we just discussed and then send it to me. I'll find time to supplement and improve it. Everyone, check the evidence carefully again to make sure there are no omissions."
Everyone nodded and responded in uneven tones: "Goodbye, Teacher Gu!"
Gu Qinming hurriedly left the office and walked straight to the elevator. After entering the elevator, he habitually raised his hand to look at his watch, frowned slightly, and silently calculated the time in his heart.
The elevator descended quickly and soon reached the first floor of Zidong International Hall. The elevator door slowly opened, and a noisy voice rushed over. The hall was crowded with people, and business personnel from various departments were in a hurry.
People who came to handle business lined up in long queues, creating a bustling and crowded scene.
As soon as Gu Qinming walked out of the door, the familiar business car stopped steadily in front of him.
He was stunned at first, then he reacted, reached out and quickly opened the car door, got in neatly, and sat next to Mu Xiaoji.
The security guard glanced at the two people through the rearview mirror, not daring to slack off at all. He lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove smoothly into the rolling traffic again.
After Gu Qinming sat down, he turned around and asked with concern: "Mr. Mu, why did you suddenly return to Kuncheng? You are in such a hurry to find me, has something happened again?"
Mu Xiaoji took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said anxiously: "When I was in college, I went on a trip during the May Day holiday. I was kidnapped by a drug lord, and later I rescued a subordinate named Jiang Hao, who is now serving his sentence in the city prison.
He has a blind mother, and I took her back to the Red Star Welfare Home to adopt her. Now her life is hanging by a thread, and she just wants to see her son one last time.
The day before yesterday, I went to the city prison with all the relevant documents, and everything went smoothly when I submitted the documents.
However, today I suddenly received a phone call from Director Xu, saying that the procedures were stuck in the Prison Administration Department due to differences of opinion.
I'm worried that the old man won't be able to hold on until Jiang Hao returns. So I want you to help me go in and meet the leader of the prison administration department.
You are a professional lawyer, and defense is your strong point. Please help me explain the truth of the matter to the leaders, and then plead with them to see if they can be flexible. "
After listening to this, Gu Qinming nodded solemnly, quickly sorting out the relevant legal provisions and communication strategies in his mind, and already had a preliminary plan in mind.
He looked at Mu Xiaoji firmly and said, "Mr. Mu, don't worry, I will do my best. But this kind of thing must be done according to the procedure.
I first went to communicate with the people in the prison administration department to understand their specific concerns and points of disagreement.
Afterwards, I will try to convince them from the legal perspective, human relations perspective, and the actual situation of prison management.
However, you may need to provide some more detailed information, such as the elderly man's medical records, certificates from the welfare home, and records of Jiang Hao's behavior in prison. These will help us negotiate."
Mu Xiaoji listened to Gu Qinming's words, a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes, and he quickly said: "No problem, I have prepared all the information, it's all in my computer, I will give it to you as soon as I get to the prison."
As he spoke, he reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although the early spring breeze blew in through the gaps in the car window, bringing a slight coolness, it still couldn't dispel the heat and anxiety in his heart.
The business car moved slowly on the slightly congested street, and every pause made Mu Xiaoji's heart tighten suddenly.
He looked out the window from time to time, his eyes full of anxiety, and kept muttering to himself: "I hope it's not too late, I hope the old man can wait until this day..."
Gu Qinming closed his eyes and rested, repeatedly rehearsing the scenario of communicating with the prison administration department in his mind, thinking about every possible problem and response strategy.
Finally, the business car slowly stopped at the gate of the city prison. Mu Xiaoji and Gu Qinming looked at each other, took a deep breath, opened the car door, and walked towards the prison gate...
Gu Qinming walked into the police room with steady steps, his expression focused and serious.
He skillfully took out his ID from his briefcase and handed it to the guard, his voice firm and clear: "I am Gu Qinming, the chief lawyer of Kuncheng Zidong International Law Firm. Please inform the leaders of the prison administration department. I am here to inquire about Jiang Hao's application for leave from prison to visit his family."
The guard took the ID and looked at it carefully. The clear law firm logo and Gu Qinming's photo on the ID complemented each other.
Looking up at Gu Qinming again, I saw that he was wearing a finely tailored dark suit, his shirt collar was straight, his tie was tied meticulously, his eyes were full of professionalism and confidence, and his whole body exuded a unique aura that had been honed through long years in the workplace.
The guard thought to himself that with such temperament and professionalism, it was not difficult to understand the weight behind the words "chief lawyer".
The guard nodded slightly and said politely, "Please wait a moment, Lawyer Gu. I will contact the prison administration department right away." After that, he turned and walked to the desk beside him, picked up the phone and started dialing.
Soon, the phone was successfully connected after a few beeps. A very unfriendly voice came from the other end of the phone, as if questioning with frost: "What's the matter?"
The voice was sharp and impatient. The guard felt as if his eardrums were hit by a heavy hammer and subconsciously moved the receiver a little further away.
It was as if the receiver was continuously firing extremely dangerous lethal weapons that could defeat a person in an instant.
Gu Qinming stood by and took in the guard's reaction. He was wearing a well-cut black suit, the straight lines of which outlined his slender and muscular figure;
The snow-white shirt is paired with an exquisite dark gray tie, and the tie clip is shining with cold light, highlighting his professionalism and competence as the chief lawyer of Zidong International Law Firm.
At this moment, seeing the guard's reaction, Gu Qinming thought to himself that it seemed that the leaders of the prison administration department were still in heated debate about Jiang Hao's leaving prison to visit his family.
In this judicial process, applications for leave from prison to visit relatives must undergo multiple rigorous considerations, and prison authorities must weigh many complex factors such as the inmate's reform performance, social impact, and supervision risks.
This dispute means that the application is pending and the difficulty of his task has increased dramatically.
He frowned slightly, and the pair of deep eyes under his sword-like eyebrows instantly became as sharp as an eagle. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the receiver and see through the scene on the other end of the phone.
There was a fleeting, barely perceptible chill in his eyes; it was the instinctive reaction of a veteran in the legal field when faced with a tough situation.
He knew that the next negotiation with the prison would be a difficult game, and every word and every argument would determine whether Jiang Hao's application to leave prison to visit his relatives could be successfully approved.
The guard quickly adjusted his posture, his posture instantly straightened like a pine tree, and reported to the phone in a standard and neat tone:
"Hello, leader! I am Tang Tiefeng, a guard from the third squad of the prison administration department of the urban prison.
Mr. Gu Qinming, chief lawyer of Zidong International Law Firm, has come to see you specially regarding Jiang Hao's application for leave from prison to visit his relatives.
I hope to have in-depth communication with you regarding the relevant situation of this application." There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a low whisper and discussion.
After a moment, a voice came from the phone: "Please ask him to come in!"
