Chapter 15 This lawyer has something

Danny Rand has been very busy lately.

The employee inventory work is over, and all those who have dealt with the drug business have been fired. The company has signed an agreement with them, that is, both parties will keep the drug-related matter confidential. Considering their own future careers, I believe these are all.

Well-educated white-collar workers know how to choose.

From the current point of view, the Hand has indeed been eliminated from the Rand Group, but no one dares to take it lightly. The drug business is an important means of making money for the Hand. Now that it has been uprooted, there is no telling how they will retaliate in the future.

.You must know that the person arrested this time is just a puppet at the highest level. The real mastermind behind the scenes, the mysterious and unpredictable Mrs. Gao, has never shown up in this incident. Where has she gone? The Hand will join the other four

A high-level person, what kind of conspiracy is he hiding in the shadows?

Everyone discussed it for several days, but still had no clue, so they had to give up. The current situation is that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. When we don't know what the other party is planning to do, the best way is not to reveal any flaws.

Danny is worrying about his big company; Colleen is still teaching students in the dojo; the father and daughter Latovan are placed in a very safe community by Danny, and are protected by the security personnel of the Rand Group; Claire

They have not been seen since that day, and I don’t know if they have contacted several other superpowers; Liu Zheng and Luo Zhijian stayed in Danny’s apartment on the Upper West Side.

One day, Danny invited the two of them to attend a lawsuit. This invitation made Liu Zheng very puzzled.

Danny smiled bitterly while driving and shook his head: "The global economy is in a recession now. If a company can avoid losing money, it is already a great success. After the bankruptcy of the 'Life Foundation' on the West Coast, many shady stories were exposed by the TV station. Now

Well, the public's trust in us is very low, and the pharmaceutical business will be even more difficult to do!"

"Then what, you owe someone a salary and you get sued?"

"That's not true, senior brother." Danny smiled, "Although Rand Group's main business is life sciences and pharmaceuticals, we also have businesses in other fields, so it's not like we can't survive. But, alas! Neither do I.

Know what to say about it."

Seeing his hesitant expression, Liu Zheng became anxious: "Tell me! Is there anything else you don't want to tell me?"

Danny sighed: "We encountered a problem before. There was something wrong with one of the company's chemical plants in Staten Island. Local residents came to the door and said that they were within 1.6 kilometers of the chemical plant.

There have been 15 cases of cancer in just a few years..."

"Holy shit, it's so serious? All 15 cases of cancer live next to a chemical plant. This can't be a coincidence!" Liu Zheng was surprised. He didn't expect that the Rand Group would also encounter this kind of thing.

"The most important thing is that when the company set up a factory in Staten Island, all processes were verified by various federal, state, and local agencies, and the test results were all qualified. There was no environmental pollution problem at all. So at that time

The public relations team headed by Joey rejected their request for compensation, but the sick family members did not give up. Instead, they prepared to hire people to investigate and hired professional lawyers to prepare for a lawsuit against us."

"The other party will never win this kind of case. Even if they really find out the connection between factory emissions and illness, New York has no relevant regulations as a basis for punishment, because everything you do is in compliance with the state

Legal. Am I right?" Luo Zhijian chuckled.

Danny nodded silently.

"Then what do you think?" Liu Zheng was more concerned about Danny's true thoughts on this matter than the cold words of the group's top executives in business negotiations.

Danny pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, and after a while he replied: "As one of the top executives of the company, I fully support Joey's approach. Their asking price is very outrageous-2 billion U.S. dollars. Let's not mention the amount we paid.

We can't afford it. After all, there is no evidence yet to prove that there is a problem with our chemical plant. If we pay due to threats or pressure from public opinion, a bunch of people will come to us and ask for money immediately. This is definitely the case.

The company strictly prohibits it. But speaking personally, I really hope I can do something for them. The first rule of the Kunlun Sect is 'Do not do evil'. I really can't do it knowing that these people are being hurt.

I still choose to stand by and watch.”

"Senior brother, what would you do if it were you?" He turned his head and looked at Liu Zheng sincerely.

Liu Zheng shook his head: "Danny, Rand Group is your father.

The creation is named after your surname, and only you are qualified to make the decision."

But he added: "Now that you are its successor, whether you think about it from a business perspective or a humanistic perspective, there is nothing wrong with it, and this will also become your company's consistent behavior in the future."

Danny shuddered after hearing this: "No, no, if the Rand Group becomes a company that only values ​​capital but not human kindness, then I really won't be able to stay for a day. Thank you, senior brother, I know what to do."

Luo Zhijian chuckled in the back row and said: "If you make this decision, you will lose a lot of money. I see, the senior management of your company is really eager for you not to come back."

"Who says it's not? Oh! Ward and Joey must blame me again..." Danny sighed, "You think I want to come back, I still prefer practicing in Kunlun than doing business.

, it is simple and clear whether everyone is an enemy or a friend, and there are not so many intrigues and intrigues."

"Just bear with it a little longer, Danny, until we destroy the gang...cough!" When Liu Zheng said this, Mrs. Gao's face popped up in his mind, and his heart seemed to have been stabbed hard, and it hurt so much.

He calmly adjusted his breathing and finished the second half of the sentence: "You can go back to Kunlun."

Danny's mood improved when he thought that he didn't want to stay in the Rand Group all his life and could go back after solving the Hand.

"Let me think about how to deal with this matter again. I hope our trip today can give me some inspiration. I received news that they have hired one of the best lawyers in Hell's Kitchen, Matthew Michael.

Murdoch.

This person has no background, and he is not a member of a big company or any team. He can gain a foothold in the legal circle by his true talent and practical knowledge. He is quite famous in Hell's Kitchen, and his reputation for integrity and kindness is well known. He often works for free for no money.

The client who pays the agency fee files the lawsuit. I heard that he took on the lawsuit today for free."

After listening to Danny's comments, Liu Zheng also became somewhat interested. The profession of lawyer has its own particularities, and sometimes he cannot act based on his heart. I don't know what kind of person he is who can bear the iron fist.

What about comments like 'Integrity and Kindness'?

Liu Zheng had a general understanding. The plaintiffs represented by Murdoch were a mother and son, and the defendant was Leonard Berkowitz, the industrial manager of the Zhongcheng District Subway Company. It seemed that when the subway company was building the station, it chose a

A harmful substance that caused the plaintiff to become paralyzed at a young age. The plaintiff in this case is the victim, while the Clinton District Subway Company shirks its responsibility on the grounds of ignorance and does not want to pay high compensation. This is the focus of this lawsuit.

location.

Facts have proved that Matthew Murdoch is just an extremely ordinary middle-aged man. His haggard appearance and stubble on his face make him look a bit older. What Liu Zheng didn't expect the most is...he

Turns out to be a blind man!

There was some traffic jam on the road. When they entered the court, the lawsuit had already begun. Although lawyer Murdoch was blind, his professionalism was indeed very high. He stood in the middle of the court and talked without any stage fright. He looked like a veteran at first sight.

.

"You have repeatedly stated that a subway station at 10th Avenue and 50th Street would be 'good for the community.' Mr. Berkowitz, in your professional opinion, believes that this result will be good for Allen James."

?”

Murdoch slapped a stack of documents on the plaintiff's desk, walked to the hearing room, and asked a middle-aged white man with a big belly sitting inside. It seemed that this man was the leader of the subway company.

"We sympathize with their family, but this incident is unfortunate."

"Did you know that the products used in your new subway station are harmful to children?"

Sensing a sense of crisis, the defendant's defense lawyer quickly stood up and expressed dissatisfaction with the judge: "I object! This is an unreasonable result-oriented approach!"

Murdoch shrugged and said calmly: "Then let me put it another way... What are the advantages of Endesaben's products?"

"Strong and durable..."

"The price is half that of other stores." Murdoch quickly added.

The middle-aged man answered truthfully: "I am in business after all."

"Is it worth hurting others to save money?"

"I didn't mean to hurt anyone. All of our materials were tested and as soon as those findings were made public, the company immediately replaced all the mortar on other stations."

"As soon as it's announced? What does that mean?" Murdoch Min

Sharply caught the loophole in the middle-aged man's words, "Are you referring to a report that was released at the beginning of this year?"

The other party's defense lawyer stood up nervously again: "Your honor, he is asking my client to give an unreasonably detailed answer!"

The judge ignored her and motioned for Murdoch to continue.

Murdoch nodded to the high hall and then asked: "Mr. Berkowitz, if I remember correctly, your office received an urgent letter from the Security Committee on October 13, which was three months ago.

Yes, I’m very curious, does that have anything to do with Endesaben?”

"I...I don't know."

The defense lawyer has not given up yet: "Your Honor, if Attorney Murdoch can prove that my client has actually received those hypothetical documents, then..."

"The point is not whether it was received or not, but whether he intentionally ignored it!" Murdoch interrupted her chatter, "Your honor, I request that this service record be included in the evidence."

The middle-aged man became a little anxious and shouted: "But I often receive these kinds of things! I -"

"Which is worse? Ignoring the data to save costs, or not submitting evidence to the court that may prove that you intentionally endangered the lives of others? Including this young man..." Murdoch's voice gradually became colder.

The defense lawyer screamed: "Your Honor!"

Murdoch roared, the loud sound covering the woman's shrill voice: "Including this young man, Alan James! He may never walk again."

There was silence on the field, and everyone looked angrily at the clearly panicked subway company manager.

His defense lawyer's face turned pale and she couldn't even stand. It was her first time in court with Matt Murdock. She didn't expect that this blind man had so much energy.

"Your Honor, we...request a temporary adjournment..."

Murdoch snorted coldly and groped his way back to his seat. When passing by the other party's lawyer, he said lightly: "No need to waste your efforts. I'm done. In addition, I think he's done too."

The following is the time for the defendant's statement. The opposing lawyer was threatened by Murdoch. Now he is in a state of chaos. No matter how much he makes a defense statement, he cannot perform to his original level. Few people on the jury are persuaded by her. The situation can be said to be

It's one-sided.

Liu Zheng's English is not very good, and he is even more confused when it comes to various legal vocabulary, so he did not pay attention to Murdoch's wonderful questioning just now, but has been carefully observing everyone on the court, especially this one

Matt Murdoch.

He touched Danny and Luo Zhijian who were sitting on both sides with his elbow, and lowered his voice and said: "This lawyer is not an ordinary person."

"Ah? How do you know?" Danny was very surprised.

"Watch his steps carefully, don't be fooled by the fake movements on his hands." Liu Zheng pointed at Murdoch.

Danny has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his vision is actually higher than Liu Zheng's, but just now he was completely immersed in the bickering between the two sides and didn't pay attention to anything else. At this time, after Liu Zheng reminded him, he made targeted observations and found out indeed

A special place.

First of all, because blind people cannot see the road, in order to avoid falling, they usually move forward tentatively when walking. Their steps are usually weak and they will not step down directly like ordinary people. Matt Murdoch's steps

Very robust, logically speaking this should not happen.

But if it's just footsteps, it's not enough to explain the problem.

Secondly, his hands are also very strange. Danny and Liu Zheng have profound internal strength, their physiological functions are much stronger than ordinary people, their eyesight is as sharp as that of an eagle, and even the smallest detail cannot escape their eyes.

In order to avoid knocking things over, blind people will habitually reach out and touch everywhere around them, which will inevitably hit nails, blades or hot objects, and their fingers will usually be injured. Murdoch

There are no scars on his fingers, but there are quite a few on the back of his hands. There are also calluses layered on top of the four fist bones. These characteristics will only appear on a martial artist who has practiced boxing for many years!

Liu Zheng and Danny looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This Matt Murdock is either not blind or has other special talents. The identity of a lawyer he creates may not be that simple.

Who is he?
