Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

October 1, 2002, Donggu, Thanh O Province, Ngoc Sen City.

At 4 p.m., in a lavishly decorated law firm called Jinmao Law Firm on Huoju Street's commercial street.

Inside the toilet.

"Splash!"

A splash of cool water on his face helped Xu De regain some of his senses.

He looked up.

A young face, wet with water, was reflected in the mirror. He stared at it, mesmerized.

After a long while, he sorted through the two streams of memories in his mind and finally understood the current situation.

"I've traveled through time..."

Xu De transmigrated, transmigrating into his own body in the Eastern Kingdom in 2002, a parallel world.

In my previous life, I worked in the legal field and served as the Chief Legal Officer (CLO) of a top company, where I never made a mistake!

Until he encountered his last opponent, "Da Yun," who had drunk horse urine by the roadside.

The result was obvious: a narrow defeat.

Thus, he traveled to a parallel world and inhabited himself in 2002.

And oneself in this world...

"I graduated from Yenching University in 1999. After my internship, I returned to Green Forest City and joined the Jinmao Law Firm."

"But not long after I joined the company, I was inexplicably targeted by the new head of the connections group who was parachuted into the office."

"As for 'me,' I originally intended to understand the legal environment of Midori City before changing jobs, but unexpectedly, while working at the law firm, I experienced severe heart pain..."

Next, I see myself getting up from the toilet and standing in front of the sink.

"Am I a lawyer now?"

Xu De fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he exhaled.

"Fortunately, the laws are the same in both worlds."

The laws of this world in 2002 were largely the same as those of the previous world.

In that case, I can avoid wasting a week looking for legal loopholes.

As for why my first reaction was to study legal loopholes... that's none of your business.

"Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it. Being a lawyer... well, it's a semi-related profession, and I can certainly make a name for myself."

While Xu De was pondering the subtle differences in the world...

A loud shout rang out from outside the toilet.

"Xu De, Xu De!"

"Where's Xu De? Where did he go?!"

The sound grew louder as it approached, eventually echoing in the lobby outside the restroom; it sounded somewhat familiar.

"Someone is looking for me."

Xu De paused for a moment, then pulled out a tissue to wipe his face, turned off the tap, and walked outside.

"Squeak~"

The toilet door was pushed open, and a bright and spacious area appeared before me.

Inside the lobby.

Several figures dressed in business attire gathered together.

"Where's Xu De? Where did he go in broad daylight?!"

"Attorney Xu wasn't feeling well earlier..."

"What's wrong with you all? If everyone's like this, our law firm might as well just dissolve!"

Team leader Sun Hao looked at the lawyers in front of him with great dissatisfaction and said.

The lawyers looked rather grim, but out of respect for the other party's position, they could only whisper:

"Does he have to die in the law firm to be satisfied?"

The voice wasn't loud, but Sun Hao caught it, and he immediately became angry, about to explode.

In a daze.

Xu De's voice suddenly rang out.

"I'm here."

The sound echoed in the hall, reaching everyone's ears and causing them to instinctively turn their heads to look.

He slowly walked towards us from the toilet door.

Seeing this, Sun Hao swallowed his anger and glared at the lawyers in front of him.

He then looked at Xu De with a smile.

"Is Attorney Xu feeling unwell?"

Xu De remained expressionless and said, "It's nothing."

The team leader in front of him was the one who often made things difficult for him because of his connections, and he was usually quite arrogant.

"It's good that you're alright."

Sun Hao chuckled, then abruptly changed the subject, handing over another contract, "Didn't you want the team to assign you a few cases a couple of days ago?"

"I looked, and there were no criminal cases, but..."

"The law firm happens to have a 'special consultation' today."

"The commission fee was a full seven hundred dollars."

"I'm waiting for you in reception room 103. Go on over after you sign the contract, don't keep the customer waiting."

Seven hundred yuan doesn't sound like much.

That's not the case. It's 2002 now, and there are countless people with a monthly income of less than a thousand.

Of course, what Xu De cared about most wasn't money, but...

[Ding, one ordinary civil case detected. Accept the case?]

[Civil case reward: A small chance to randomly draw a common skill from the client, and a high chance to receive a certain amount of gratitude coins.]

[Note: (The quality of the reward increases with customer satisfaction)]

In a daze.

A voice appeared beside Xu De's ear, and a pale blue light screen appeared in front of him.

[Current Status.]

Name: Xu De

Age: 25

[Thanks Coins: 0]

Win rate: None

[Number of cases accepted: None]

[Talent Skill: None]

What is this...?

Xu De's eyes flashed, and he glanced around. Seeing that the others ignored him, he squinted and continued his study.

He didn't say anything, but the person next to him spoke up instinctively.

"Special consultation for No. 103?"

The surrounding lawyers looked surprised, then frowned and crossed their arms.

"Team Leader Zhang, this isn't appropriate. Attorney Xu is so young... he..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hao's face darkened as he saw Xu De was tempted.

"You're so young, you should seize every opportunity!"

One lawyer frowned. "But the client in reception room 103 has been pestering us for a month. Isn't it a bit much to ask Attorney Xu to go...?"

Sun Hao replied:

"That's because the first few lawyers weren't capable; Attorney Xu is a top student!"

"Besides, they haven't even said anything yet!"

Seeing that no one spoke, Sun Hao turned to Xu De and said with a smile:

"What are your thoughts, Attorney Xu?"

Xu De, who was engrossed in studying the light screen, was brought back to his senses by this interruption.

He glanced at the gazes of the lawyers around him, pondered for a moment, and then a thought struck him.

[Receive.]

[Civil case accepted!]

[Note: Please strive to ensure customer satisfaction!]

Looking at the pale blue light screen in front of him, Xu De hesitated for a moment, then looked up and said:

"I'll give this case a try."

After speaking...

He took the contract in front of everyone and signed his name.

Sun Hao's face immediately lit up with surprise, and he said with schadenfreude:

"Great! Attorney Xu is indeed a top student, I have high hopes for you."

Sun Hao immediately put away a contract and walked towards the finance office.

When his figure disappeared.

Several lawyers nearby couldn't help but speak up:

"Attorney Xu, you shouldn't have taken this case. It's extremely difficult!"

Xu De pondered for a moment and gave a reason.

"There's no other way. I had almost no cases in the past few months. If I don't take this commission, I'm afraid I'll starve."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

After speaking...

He then turned and headed toward reception room number 103.

Several lawyers around him watched his departing figure, hesitated for a moment, and finally could only sigh.

"Ugh."

......

"Da da da..."

Footsteps echoed in the quiet stairwell.

finally.

The sound disappeared in front of a reception room door marked '103'.

Xu De placed his hand on the doorknob and applied a little force.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

The reception room was simple, with a sofa, a table, and a water dispenser in the corner.

As the door opened slightly, a man in his thirties, with a square face, wearing a black suit, sat on the sofa.

The other person had an ordinary appearance and wore a silver watch on their wrist.

Xu De's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked to the other side of the table.

"Hello, I am Xu De, the lawyer in charge of this special consultation. You can call me Attorney Xu."

I heard a noise.

Zhang Hu opened his eyes and was immediately taken aback when he saw the lawyer who had arrived. His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"What should I call you?" Xu De withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

"Zhang Hu," Zhang Hu replied.

Xu De sat on the sofa, glanced around briefly, and then suddenly spoke:

"Mr. Zhang, please repeat your request."

Zhang Hu remained silent for a long time, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I've been cheated on..."

As soon as he uttered the first sentence, Xu De raised an eyebrow slightly.

This is... a marital dispute case!

No wonder the law firm couldn't resolve it even after a month.

The characteristic of this type of case is that it is extremely difficult to resolve. No matter what you do, you can't completely satisfy the client. The price is low, but you have to work for a long time!

Sun Hao really threw him a hot potato...

Xu De sneered inwardly but didn't show it. Instead, he looked at Zhang Hu.

"Please continue."

Zhang Hu nodded, crossed his arms, and looked at the ground slowly, saying:

"I met that bitch in college, and I got married after I graduated."

"After we got married, I worked hard outside from dawn till dusk, and I never asked her to work. She didn't even have to cook meals on weekdays!"

"As a result, she turned around and started dating a guy she liked who worked out, saying that I was unromantic, old-fashioned, and boring!"

"The other day, that lover found out I own a food company..."

"Afterwards, she not only encouraged that slut to divorce me and split the money, but also contacted me privately, showing me photos and videos of their illicit affair!"

"I was unwilling to accept this, so I appealed, and the result was..."

As they were talking.

"Bang!"

Zhang Hu reached out and slammed his hand on the table, his chest heaving violently.

He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:

"The court told me that marital infidelity is only a moral issue and cannot be punished criminally, but I will still have to get half of the money in the divorce!"

"The thought of this adulterous couple cheating on me, and me having to give them money..."

"If I wanted to vent my anger and find someone to beat up that adulterer, I would end up going to jail."

"I feel so frustrated!"

After speaking...

He looked at Xu De with a grim expression.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Upon hearing this, Xu De understood, but could only shake his head.

"Your case is very complicated."

"Legally, even if a wife commits adultery, she still has the right to a division of property in a divorce, unless she voluntarily waives her right to a division of property."

"But obviously, that's impossible."

Zhang Hu felt increasingly aggrieved, his fists clenched so tightly that his fingertips turned white.

He changed lawyers many times.

But no matter which lawyer...

It's said that dividing property is inevitable in divorce. Even if your partner cheats, has a mistress, or even shows you videos and photos, you'll still have to be like a cuckold and give them money.

suffocated.

So frustrating!

Let alone millions, Zhang Hu doesn't want to give even a single penny!

But the reality is cruel.

Divorce inevitably involves the legal issue of property division.

Just as Zhang Hu was about to resign himself to his fate...

Xu De, who was standing in front of him, pondered for a long time before suddenly changing the subject.

"But...it's not entirely hopeless."

If it were simply a matter of dividing the property, Xu De could easily offer some advice, but...

The quality of the system's case rewards improves as customer satisfaction increases!

Even if the other party adopts a method for dividing the property, they will only accept it reluctantly, not with satisfaction, let alone gratitude!

If that's the case...

He had no choice but to resort to some unusual methods.

A method that allowed me to maintain my position as the chief legal officer in my previous life without ever making a mistake!

Zhang Hu was stunned, as if he were hallucinating: "Wh...what?"

"Mr. Zhang, judging from your attitude, you don't actually want a divorce, nor do you want a smaller share of the money, but rather..."

"Retaliation is impossible!"

As he spoke, Xu De paused slightly, and the next second, he looked up at the other person.

The deep voice, like a devil's, exuded temptation in Zhang Hu's ears:

"If I could let you do..."

"What about legal and compliant retaliation?"
