Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Mr. Guo, you don't want to be sentenced to prison, do you...?

The moment the words were spoken.

Guo Tu was covered in sweat, breathing rapidly and clenching his teeth.

Ten years...the other party can get ten years in prison?!

I'm only 22, but I'll be 32 in ten years... What will I be able to do after that? It's incredibly tough for art students to find employment, let alone those who have been sentenced to ten years in prison and have long forgotten their skills!

As for one side...

"Oh, it's you!"

Police officer Li Xiang, who was lighting a cigarette, raised his eyebrows instinctively upon hearing the sound, glanced at Xu De, and looked at him with surprise. If he remembered correctly...

Last year, when I returned from Lijia Village, Wu Kang put me in an extortion case.

Yes, the victim's name is Zhang Hu.

A man who was originally involved in a divorce case suddenly claimed that he was being blackmailed for as much as two million!

Li Xiang was completely baffled as to what the other person was thinking.

Given the egregious nature of the offense, the judge ultimately sentenced him to ten years in prison, a sentence Li Xiang has remained baffled by ever since.

Until now.....

"So it was you who did it!?"

Looking at Xu De, Li Xiang hesitated, swallowing his words several times before finally saying nothing.

If it's the other party... then that makes perfect sense.

As for reopening the investigation into the details of the case?

Let's not even talk about the fact that the case has already been decided.

The defendant has already confessed to the extortion based on his confession alone. No matter what, this fact of extortion cannot be changed, so there is no need to reinvestigate.

As for Guo Tu...

At this moment, Guo Tu was breathing rapidly and swallowing saliva repeatedly.

He truly hadn't expected that all he did was develop a romantic relationship and make some money...

How could I possibly get into something like this!

Goodness, a divorce case...

In a divorce case, a civil and moral matter, the other party sentenced the mistress to ten years in prison!?

Normally, Guo Tu would have expressed some sentimentality, but now...

He was the second mistress.

"I...I..." Guo Tu stammered, unsure of what to say.

Seeing his attitude.

Xu De's tone softened suddenly, as if he were giving advice, and he said, "But..."

"On the other hand, if you are willing to disclose the large amount of property that Yang Chunping has spent on you in the divorce case... then my client can consider not suing you."

Are assets disclosed?

Guo Tu remained silent for a long time, though not for very long.

"I agree!"

"Yang Chunping has spent a total of 20,000 yuan on me, all of which she did behind her man's back."

Sold so readily?

Li Xiang, standing to one side, was somewhat surprised, but after a moment's thought, he understood.

Let's not even talk about the saying "every man for himself" (or "if a man doesn't look out for himself, he

The relationship between Yang Chunping and Guo Tu is not that of husband and wife, nor is it that of lovers.

One wasn't after money, the other wasn't after sex...

Of course, this refers to Guo Tu not being after sex and Yang Chunping not being after money.

It was purely a mutually beneficial relationship, a half-friends-with-benefits relationship. Besides, he was capable of interfering in other people's lives, so how high can his morals be?

"Oh, right, they also gave me a watch, but I don't know how much it cost."

Guo Tu quickly spoke up again, racking his brains to tell everyone everything.

Xu De, however, looked at Li Xiang to the side.

"Officer Li."

"Our client suspects that the money his wife, Yang Chunping, received was obtained illegally and may be related to a human trafficking case. We request that the police thoroughly investigate." Li Xiang: ?

No, so everything is related to human trafficking, right?

Furthermore, Wang Yu wasn't present, and the other party didn't even know about the funds, yet you're saying he's suspicious?

Even if this case involves human trafficking, you still post it!

After holding his breath for a while, Li Xiang finally took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

He admitted it.

Faced with something like this, Li Xiang had no choice but to accept his fate.

When it comes to children, it must be taken seriously. If the parties involved raise objections, the police will generally have to verify the clues, let alone Guo Tu, who is the direct perpetrator of harming the children. As for the financial issues, as long as they are raised, they must be thoroughly investigated.

As for Xu De...

Xu De paused, then turned to look at Guo Tu.

"Mr. Guo, thank you for your cooperation."

"Don't worry, I will persuade my client not to pursue criminal charges against you."

"Of course, if there are any further questions... please continue to cooperate."

Guo Tu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Thank you. Thank you so much!"

Xu De smiled, turned and left, saying, "You're welcome."

Before leaving, Li Xiang looked at Guo Tu, unsure of what to say.

Wang Yu can file a lawsuit in this case.

But that doesn't mean that if he doesn't bring it up, no one else will!

Those people at the procuratorate will definitely file a public prosecution against Guo Tu after seeing the child, so even if Wang Yu doesn't mention it... someone will still take Guo Tu to court! Li Xiang thought about it and ultimately didn't speak.

Xu De was not lying.

Why is he bringing this up when he has nothing better to do? Is he complaining that the other person isn't giving him enough work?

They walked out of the detention room.

In the lobby.

Wang Yu initially tried to find out about the child from the police.

Xu De reappeared.

He then swallowed the question he hadn't finished asking, walked to Xu De's side, and asked in confusion:

"Attorney Xu, how is it?"

"Fortunately, we have one more piece of evidence."

Xu De smiled.

Legally, Yang Chunping has almost stepped on every landmine among the five pieces of evidence!

Abuse, infidelity, and transferring marital property during marriage.

"That's good."

Wang Yu remained silent, clearly pleased with the situation.

But the thought of his child made him unable to smile; instead, he felt a pang of sadness.

"Mr. Wang, you can go to the hospital to see your child first."

"Now we can start preparing for the lawsuit."

Xu De spoke first.

The words were spoken.

Wang Yu remained silent for a moment, then nodded and hurriedly walked outside.

Watching his retreating figure, Xu De and Lin Yue felt a pang of emotion.

What a wonderful family, what a hardworking person... it's a pity he ended up with such a wife.

The two walked outside.

"You'd better be careful when you look for a wife in the future."

Lin Yue clicked her tongue in amazement.

"Otherwise, your wife will be in big trouble."

She felt that if the other party's wife wasn't honest, he might not necessarily be in trouble... but his wife would definitely be in bad luck!

"Then why don't you tell me about my marriage prospects, True Lord?" Xu De teased.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and said excitedly:

"I'm actually quite good at calculating this!"

"You really know how?" Xu De asked in surprise.

"I really know how to do it."

Lin Yue nodded, a rare look of confidence on her face. "Hold out your hand so I can take a look."

Xu De didn't refuse, and stretched out his left hand.

Lin Yue stared at her palm for a moment, then suddenly paused, blinked, and mentally calculated again before finally revealing a look of suspicion on her face.

After a while.

Lin Yue said, "Um... I don't think I'm very proficient in this field either..."

Xu De withdrew his hand, looked at her and smiled:

"Ha, you fraudulent swindler!"

Lin Yue fell silent, realizing she might really be a fraud.

The two returned to the law firm.

They happened to meet Lu Jinshan, and then began making arrangements.

1 month 10 day.

Xu De made proper arrangements for Lu Jinshan.

The other party's identity information was submitted to the Justice Bureau upon entry, and the Justice Bureau displayed an efficiency and speed that Lu Jinshan had never seen before in his life. It was just an onboarding process.

It's astonishing that Deputy Director Yang Guotao would personally handle this matter!

Even after the application process was completed, it was discovered that seven lawyers were being hired.

Xu De hadn't even spoken yet.

Yang Guotao immediately stuffed 15 internship slots into Xu De's hands, and Xu De couldn't refuse. He acted as if he would give Xu De another 15 if Xu De dared to object!

Lu Jinshan was truly amazed that a fledgling law firm could be given such importance.

1 month 11 day.

Lu Jinshan's team has officially joined the company.

Houde Law Firm now has 10 employees.

Lu Jinshan figured that the newly established law firm might not have many people, so he planned to use his connections to get some cases.

Who would have thought...

When Xu De unloaded all the cases that had accumulated in the law firm over the past two weeks, he nearly knocked the sight of stars out of Lu Jinshan's head.

What does it mean that law firms won't force clients to be assigned cases?

"What do you mean, that lawyers won't lack cases, won't be waiting around anxiously for cases, and that law firms would love for me to take on twenty cases a day?" "What do you mean, that lawyers can pick and choose cases from a sea of ​​cases at will!?"

My first day at the institute.

Xu De then presented Lu Jinshan's team with an unprecedented and mind-blowing scene.

Most people probably don't know this.

Aside from their own cases and clients, lawyers have no say in the cases that come to their law firm.

In cases like legal aid, the law firm forces you to take on the case; the lawyer cannot refute it or refuse to accept it.

In some cases, even if you achieve results, your work might be stolen.

Lu Jinshan is a prime example. He was on the verge of winning a major case, but someone else snatched the victory away.

But it's completely different here.

The sheer volume of resources overwhelmed Lu Jinshan's team.

The word "loyalty" gradually emerged in the minds of the seven people!

1 month 12 day.

Three days before the civil divorce case was scheduled to go to court.

The hospital has released the child's medical report. If the person who brought the child hadn't been a police officer, the hospital would have called the police on the spot! The report clearly states that Wang Xiaoyu has multiple minor injuries, not serious, but extremely severe.

Also.

They also suffer psychological trauma, which is very likely to affect their future physical and mental development and cause irreversible consequences.

The police incorporated the information into the "human trafficking case".

The day.

Xu De applied for a lawyer's investigation order from the court. With this document, he can obtain evidence from the police.

1 month 14 day.

The day before the court hearing.

9:30 a.m.

Holding an investigation warrant, Xu De went to the police station and, in front of Li Xiang, retrieved information from the "human trafficking case," explaining that it was to be used in the "divorce and infidelity case."

Under Li Xiang's utterly speechless gaze.

Holding the information, Xu De went to the Nanshan District People's Court.

10:30 a.m.

Just before the judge was about to have his meal, the evidence was successfully submitted. The judge in charge of the case was notified and looked bewildered.

11 o'clock.

Xu De returned to the law firm.

Of course, besides him...

An unexpected person also came to the law firm.

4:30 PM.

"Attorney Xu, right? Our clients have something they'd like to discuss with you regarding this case."

"You're a lawyer, so you know how much bias divorce cases have towards us women."

"Of course, my client is not an unreasonable person. If you are willing... we can discuss it privately." Inside Houde Law Firm.

The defendant's lawyer, Sun Li, suddenly arrived at the law firm with a marital property division agreement and approached Xu De at the same time.

Sun Li glanced around the law firm and, seeing that there were only ten people inside, couldn't help but straighten up a bit.

A law firm with only ten people... truly a small law firm!

"If possible, we are willing to split it 70/30."

Sun Li said, "This is the limit we can accept. You know, raising children is very expensive."

Seventy-three distribution?

Upon hearing this, Xu De, who had rushed from his office to the waiting room, twitched at the corner of his eye.

"Seventy percent? How come we only have seventy percent!?"

"Wang Yu's salary accounted for 90% of the joint property, right? How come we only got 70% after the divorce!?" Sun Li: ?

Sun Li suddenly paused.

She looked up, her expression unfriendly, and her tone subtly angry as she spoke:

"Seventy percent of them belong to our client!"

"You should be at 30%!"

"Of course, regarding subsequent child support... our client is quite generous, only requiring payment of 25% of pre-tax salary per month." "Based on 2700 yuan, the monthly child support payment is only 945 yuan."

"As for the nutrition expenses and tuition fees... well, our client is very generous and you don't need to cover them."

As she spoke, Sun Li seemed to have thought of something.

Pointing to the contract, he said:

"certainly."

"If the husband gets a promotion later, the child support amount will also need to be increased proportionally."

"If the man gets married, he also needs to pay a share of the money. He can't forget about the children just because of a new love."

Thirty percent?

They might even give you more for future promotions!?

Good heavens, he directly cut off more than 60% of his own assets, and for the next 14 years, he provided 1,000 yuan every month... not counting promotions, that's equivalent to 5,000 yuan a month in later times!

Five thousand a month, 12 months a year, sixty thousand a year, 84 in 14 years!?

Xu De was shocked and looked incredulously at Sun Li, the female lawyer wearing round glasses.

Is this still considered a divorce?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that weeds should be eradicated completely!

Even if Empress Dowager Cixi herself were here, we wouldn't dare sign this contract!

"Excuse my bluntness, but you're slaughtering a pig."

Xu De showed no intention of talking, turned his head away, and blurted out a swear word.

"The trial starts tomorrow, and you're offering this kind of treaty right now... ..."

"Attorney Sun, I advise you, if you don't have the ability, you shouldn't get involved in this kind of case, especially not with such conditions!"

Sun Li heard this.

Anger instantly flashed across his face.

What does it mean to be incapable?

"You look down on women?" Sun Li asked instinctively.

Xu De: ?

"I just look down on you."

Xu De remained calm and unaffected by the remark, simply replying casually.

"It's a bit like some people are never satisfied and are trying to swallow an elephant."

Upon hearing this...

Sun Li's face was extremely gloomy.

This contract is also valid for her; her contract stipulates that she receives money proportionally, so naturally she can ask for as much as she can.

But Xu De's point revealed the truth...

He immediately became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"You'll regret this!"

"A 70-30% handicap is normal in private rulings; an 80-20% handicap is very common in court!"

Sun Li spoke up.

"Then please decline the defendant's offer on my behalf," Xu De replied.

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Li was speechless and could only glare at him fiercely.

See you in court!

The words were spoken.

Sun Li clutched the contract and walked out. Judging from her retreating figure, she must have been very angry.

As for Xu De...

Xu De paused, then turned his head to look at the time displayed on the wall clock.

With a crisp "click" from the second hand.

The current time is...

Afternoon, 5:00

The court...is closed for the day.

The other party ran out of time to collect evidence in court.

Looking at the clock, Xu De smiled, recalling the evidence he had obtained.

[Information gap + severely damaged reputation + psychological problems + child abuse + child imprisonment + spouse's infidelity + transfer of assets during marriage + cohabitation...] [And our own evidence, all provided by the police!!!]

"See you in court tomorrow?"

Xu De thought about Sun Li and Yang Chunping fantasizing about splitting the money, a playful look on his face.

"See you in court tomorrow."
