"It seems..."

"You seem to need a little help."

Xu De gave a gentle smile. He was wearing a black fitted suit, which made his posture look straight.

The people in front of them were somewhat dazed as they listened to the other party's seemingly reassuring voice.

The female lawyer stared at Xu De, stunned for a moment.

"Wang Mei, Ms. Mei, I am the defense lawyer in charge of Wang Qiang's murder case."

"My name is Xu De, you can call me Lawyer Xu."

Xu De introduced himself.

"Your name is Xu De?"

The female lawyer beside him frowned, looking at Xu De... After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly raised an eyebrow and tentatively asked again.

"A lawyer who is a paragon of morality?"

Hearing the noise, Xu De turned around and saw a beautiful female lawyer... who looked somewhat familiar.

When the female lawyer saw him frown, she immediately stretched out her hands, twisted her hair into a bun, and stared at him with wide eyes.

Xu De's brows relaxed, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Isn't this the same 'fellow enthusiast' he met when he was 'feeding the savages'?

Seeing that he recognized her, Lin Yue smiled gently, but then the smile froze on her face.

Xu De suddenly asked in surprise:

"Are you the 'Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Jade Face Thunder Essence Universal Transformation Subduing Demons and Longevity True Lord'?"

Lin Yue:?

Almost instantly!

Lin Yue's fair and slender neck first blushed slightly, then the blush became burning hot, climbing all the way up to her ears, her earlobes turning so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

Her heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and said:

"This is a courthouse, perhaps..."

"Shall we talk somewhere else?"

Xu De smiled and didn't continue the teasing.

Right now... business is the priority, and as for how to resolve the issue... he already has a solution.

"OK."

......

......

at the same time.

In Green Forest City, there is a law firm called "Yang Teng Law Firm".

Inside the reception room.

Li Youcai and Liu Cui sat in chairs, wailing and wiping away non-existent tears.

"Attorney Chen, you have to help me!"

In front of her stood a lawyer named Chen Wei, who was tearfully accusing the other party.

"My son is only in his thirties, still a child. He can't just die like that, so carelessly!"

Li Youcai stood beside her, saying nothing, but constantly scrutinizing Chen Wei with his sly eyes.

The lawyer in front of me was in his thirties.

He was thin, with gaunt cheeks, no flesh on his face, and prominent cheekbones, making his appearance unsettling.

"Rest assured, the contract has been signed, and our law firm will definitely put the client's interests first!"

Chen Wei put away the contract and responded with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Youcai and the other man in front of him breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Erniu's case has been accepted.

Chen Wei will participate in the court proceedings as the victim's legal representative, fighting for Li Youcai's interests.

This is the fourth law firm that Li Youcai and Liu Cui have chosen.

The first three companies all made excuses to avoid the case, and Chen Wei knew perfectly well why: they thought the case was too 'dirty'!

That's right.

Many lawyers find it hard to accept that suing the families of human traffickers in trafficking cases persecutes the victims; they can't get over their own conscience.

Not to mention the case of Li Erniu...

But Chen Wei is different!

For him, Wang Qiang's life or death was unimportant.

He only cares about money and the odds of winning!

Why would he let go of a criminal case that comes to him for free, a case he's guaranteed to win?

As for whether Wang Qiang deserves to die... that's none of Chen Wei's business. Even if he were sentenced to death under his control, it wouldn't matter.

After all, it wasn't him who died.

As for the demands...

"Your demand is to gain custody of your grandson, right?"

Chen Wei grinned, his already small eyes narrowing into slits.

"Yes, we can't let that ingrate steal it!" Liu Cui nodded like a hen pecking at rice.

Her demands were twofold: first, that Wang Qiang die; and second, that Wang Mei relent and give him custody.

If point two can be achieved, then sacrificing point one is acceptable.

"no problem."

Chen Wei nodded and agreed immediately.

In his view, there was a lot of room for maneuver in this case. All he had to do was use Wang Qiang to coerce Wang Mei, and she would naturally surrender obediently.

What?

As for Wang Mei, who was abducted and imprisoned for 10 years, is it too cruel that she couldn't even protect her child...?

If this could bring in money and a higher win rate, then Chen Wei would feel justified in taking on a whole bunch of such cases!

Does the defendant currently have a defense lawyer?

Chen Wei added.

Liu Cui nodded, her eyes darkening, and muttered venomously, "Yes!"

"I don't know which heartless person is bullying us old folks..."

Chen Wei asked, "When did you take on this case?"

"I found out yesterday when I went to the police station," Liu Cui said.

Yesterday...

Wang Qiang's family members are Wang Mei and Sun Hong. The defense lawyer will most likely need to contact these two, and Wang Mei recently finished a custody battle... Judging by the timing, Wang Mei should have gone to the police station to prepare for Wang Qiang's case.

Chen Wei thought to himself.

And that lawyer... should be at the police station, making contact with them!

From a lawyer's perspective, the opposing side's chances of winning are extremely slim, and I believe the defense lawyer is also aware of this.

Therefore, now is the perfect time for him to communicate with them!

Or rather...

Add insult to injury!

A glint of light flashed in Chen Wei's eyes. He immediately got up, packed his things, and walked out.

"I'll go and have a talk with him."

......

......

3:30 p.m.

Inside the lobby of the Green Forest City Police Department.

Wang Mei and her daughter Xu Hong went to the police and presented them with the court's judgment.

Xu De and Lin Yue.

They sat side by side on the public chairs in the lobby, staring at each other with wide eyes.

After a long pause, Xu De suddenly spoke, clicking his tongue in amazement as he looked the other person up and down:

"Tsk, I didn't expect the True Lord to have so many identities. Besides the Longevity True Lord, he also has a Law True Lord hidden away."

"That was quite unexpected."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yue's face flushed red at a visible speed, climbing from her neck all the way to her ears, but she remained strong and calm, and continued to speak:

"My father is a law professor at a university. In recent years, he has been experiencing some mental instability... so he moved into a Taoist temple for peace and quiet."

"So I also live in a Taoist temple... I mostly just chant scriptures and cultivate my mind on weekdays, but I haven't become a monk!"

It turned out to be the case.

Xu De understood that law is a rather extreme field.

The depression rate is relatively high among experts in the field, so it is common for them to become monks, Taoist priests, or even convert to foreign religions.

"So, is the True Lord now 'descending the mountain to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path'?"

Xu De smiled and teased the other party.

"It's just taking on a few cases, and..."

Lin Yue couldn't hold back any longer.

She lowered her head, stretched out two slender, fair fingers to cover her burning face, forgetting to expose her bright red earlobes. The shameful sound reached Xu De's ears through the gaps in her fingers.

"I did not become a monk."

"That so-called Taoist title was just something I said jokingly. I was wrong, I'm sorry..."

Xu De nodded, indicating his understanding.

"Yes, Mr. Law, I understand."

Lin Yue:......

Lin Yue was desperate; she felt like she was dying... socially dead.

It was just something he casually mentioned: "Nine Heavens Flying Dragon, Jade Face, Thunderous Essence, Universally Transforming All Beings, Subduing Demons, Longevity True Lord"...

She swore she forgot about it as soon as she said it; it was such a long string of words, she couldn't remember it at all.

But how come more than twenty days have passed...?

How could the other party remember it so clearly?!

There's even a new "legal expert"...

"Alright, let's talk about serious matters first."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, suppressed her emotions, and pretended not to care. She looked at Xu De with a serious expression, but her face was still red.

"The Wang Qiang case..."
