Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"The information currently available is very unfavorable to the defendant."

"The trafficking and murder cases are being tried separately. In the murder case alone, Wang Qiang was the one who struck first, making his defense extremely difficult."

"If the presiding judge's subjective intent is not on the defendant, then..."

The two sat side by side on the chairs, and Lin Yue told him about her biggest worry.

"The verdict... may be very unfavorable to the defendant."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent.

To be honest, Lin Yue initially wanted to take the case, but after hearing the details, she decisively gave it up...

She knew she didn't have the power to influence the outcome of such a case, and taking it on rashly would only make things worse for the victim!

no way.

The case is in turmoil, with the upper and lower limits of the verdict being worlds apart!

First, judging from Wang Qiang's behavior in the case, according to the law, the court could have convicted him of intentional homicide and given him a suspended death sentence.

But if the judgment is made at the discretion of the court...

The judge can also acquit the defendant on the grounds of "self-defense".

One sentence leads to the death penalty, the other to innocence; it's a matter of a single decision, entirely dependent on the lawyer's skill. A misstep...

"Wang Qiang will most likely receive a suspended death sentence."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, her delicate face filled with seriousness.

Looking at Xu De, she asked again:

"So... what are your thoughts?"

Xu De, however, crossed his legs with great interest and looked at her, asking in return:

"If you were Attorney Lin, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yue paused, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed, shook her head, her tone full of helplessness.

"In exchange for sacrificing child custody, they obtained a letter of understanding from the other party in Wang Qiang's case."

"At the same time, the other party changed their testimony, and the court went along with it and ruled that it was legitimate self-defense."

From the current perspective, this is a choice between two possible outcomes.

Either offer custody in exchange for the other party withdrawing their statement and issuing a letter of understanding.

Either he takes custody, leaving Wang Qiang's safety hanging in the balance.

"Although the child is not with Wang Mei, at least his life is not in danger, and we can try to save him later."

"But if Wang Qiang... is dead, then he's really dead."

Xu De spoke thoughtfully, then nodded with a smile.

"It's a common approach, but I prefer..."

"I want them all!"

After hearing the three words, Lin Yue paused, as if she hadn't heard them clearly.

"What did you say?" she asked hesitantly.

Xu De composed himself and calmly replied, "Custody, and a victory in the criminal case... I want them all!"

He hadn't forgotten that his case rewards were calculated based on client satisfaction.

Would Wang Mei be satisfied with an outcome that presents only one of two options? Anyone with a brain knows it's a helpless choice!

unless......

I want both!

but......

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously shook her head: "That's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible."

Xu De smiled.

Just as he was about to explain further...

In a daze.

A loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the entire police station lobby from behind.

"Excuse me, is Attorney Xu De here?"

I heard a noise.

Xu De paused slightly, then he and Lin Yue subconsciously turned their heads to look.

At the entrance of the hall, a man dressed neatly, carrying a briefcase and wearing glasses, was standing at the main entrance.

After the man began to speak with a policeman.

The policeman immediately pointed at Xu De, and Xu De looked in that direction, his eyes meeting Xu De's.

"They've come with ill intentions."

Xu De was thinking this to himself.

Taking advantage of this moment, the man smiled and walked over to Xu De, then extended his hand to him and said:

"I am Chen Wei, a lawyer from Yang Teng Law Firm."

"We have signed a contract with Li Youcai and Liu Cui to act as the legal representatives for the victims in the 'Wang Qiang case'."

"You must be the defense attorney, Xu De, Attorney Xu?"

As he spoke, Chen Wei smiled, his eyes clearly showing a sense of smug disdain as he looked at the other man.

Without giving Xu De a chance to speak, he continued:

"I've come to see you this time..."

"I mainly want to know your attitude towards the case."

Li Youcai's lawyer?

The other party tormented Wang Mei for ten years, and they still have the nerve to hire a lawyer to fight for their rights!?

Lin Yue's eyes widened, her lips pursed, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes, but she remained silent.

Xu De didn't say anything, nor did he shake hands.

He sized the other man up and down for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said:

"What's your attitude? Explain in detail."

Chen Wei's smile faltered for a moment, then he composed himself, subtly withdrawing his hand and saying with a smile:

"Our client intends to give you a chance to seek compensation. If we are satisfied, Mr. Wang may face less criminal liability. Attorney Xu, what do you think...?"

opportunity?

Would Li Youcai and Liu Cui be so kind?

"And the price?" Xu De asked rhetorically.

Chen Wei continued with a smile, "Naturally, it concerns the custody of my grandson."

As expected, Li Youcai and Liu Cui's goal was also to fight for the child, and things did indeed go as Lin Yue had predicted.

but......

"The court has already made a decision regarding custody; surely Attorney Chen knows that?"

Xu De suddenly stood up, staring directly at the other person. His tone was gentle, but he felt like a hedgehog, making one feel uncomfortable all over.

Chen Wei sensed his attitude, but still continued:

"It's only the first trial. If it's the second trial... this beautiful lawyer, Lin, is willing to persuade Wang Mei to voluntarily give up custody..."

Chen Wei left his words at that, not saying anything more.

However, Lin Yue couldn't contain her anger any longer and immediately stood up, gritting her teeth.

"This is blackmail!"

Chen Wei waved his hand, seemingly unconcerned.

"No, no, no, this is just a discussion."

"Besides..."

As he spoke, he looked up at Xu De.

Based on Chen Wei's prediction, Xu De would most likely agree.

After all, this is a chance to win a murder case without charge, which could very well change the course of a lawyer's entire career, making it incredibly tempting!

And what about yourself?

He won the case, ensuring his client's rights were protected and he even received a sum of money.

If Xu De could get Wang Mei and Xu Hong to pay Li Youcai a large sum of money, that would be even better; it would definitely be a win-win situation!

Therefore, they should be in perfect harmony and acting together at this moment!

As for the victims Wang Mei and Xu Hong... who cares.

It's already a blessing for a group of ignorant and uncultured people to provide value to elites like themselves.

"What do you think?" Chen Wei asked.

Xu De looked at him and suddenly spoke, "Attorney Chen, would you like to go to the restroom?"

Chen Wei was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu De said, "Even if you don't have a mirror, you can still pee, right? Take a good look at your face."

As soon as he said that, the surroundings froze slightly, and even Lin Yue was stunned, then looked at him with a strange expression.

Chen Wei's face flushed red and then turned pale. Finally, he took a deep breath, clenched his fists to suppress his anger, and whispered:

"You'd better think this through. This is a murder case. If you lose, it will be a major blow to your entire career!"

"Without a letter of forgiveness or a withdrawal of confession, the verdict in this case is anyone's guess."

"Furthermore, you should inform Ms. Wang so that she can make the decision."

Xu De directly refused.

"As you yourself said, it's an unknown, so you don't need to worry about our representative."

"I have some tea leaves here. Tea is good for using the restroom, so why don't you take some home?"

"you!"

Seeing Xu De's stubbornness, Chen Wei's forehead was covered in black lines. This was the first time he had ever seen such an ungrateful person.

Wouldn't it be better to win together and increase the winning rate?

"Hmph, then see you in court."

Chen Wei stared at him for a long time, then uttered some harsh words, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

Looking at his back.

Lin Yue breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Xu De and chuckled:

"You have a rather interesting way of speaking."

She paused, then sighed and whispered:

"However... although he is annoying, without a letter of forgiveness... the chances of winning the lawsuit will indeed be much smaller."

The moment the voice fell, a response followed immediately.

"Who said I'm helpless?" Xu De said casually.

Lin Yue continued:

"To be honest, I prefer negotiation, and I'll keep fighting for more time in custody..."

However, she suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence, then, as if realizing something, she abruptly looked up at Xu De, her clear eyes filled with astonishment, and exclaimed in surprise:

"You have a way!?"

"Of course."

Xu De nodded as a matter of course.

"The solution is... we..."

......

Outside the hall.

Chen Wei walked out the door with a dark face, but before leaving, he suddenly turned back and took a deep look at Xu De on the public chair.

At first, he thought it would be a win-win situation, but the other party was so ungrateful...

He also suggested that the defendant be pressured to give Wang Qiang a heavier sentence!

"Ha, ungrateful wretch!"

Chen Wei thought angrily, feeling extremely ashamed and annoyed.

This was the first time he had ever been humiliated by such a young man. Since that was the case, he would teach the other party a lesson called "society"!

"Just wait and see."

After speaking...

Chen Wei then walked to his car, opened the door, got in, and drove off.

Not far away.

"Is this Chen Wei from Yang Teng Law Firm?"

In the parking lot, a government car opened its door, and several men got out. One of them watched the car drive away and said thoughtfully.

"It should be. The court has informed us that he is the legal representative for the victim in the Wang Qiang case."

Someone beside him nodded.

"Considering the timing, it makes perfect sense that he showed up at the police station."

Upon hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier nodded in agreement.

There were three of them in total: two middle-aged men in their thirties and a young man in his early twenties, all dressed in black formal uniforms.

The uniform is somewhat similar to a suit, with a white shirt underneath and a red scarf at the collar, but a red national emblem hangs on the chest, giving off an inexplicable aura.

no doubt.

These three are prosecutors from the Midori City Public Prosecutor's Office!

"I remember Chen Wei being a notorious litigator, right? How come he's the plaintiff's legal representative?"

Young prosecutor Zhang Qing gritted his teeth and said, his brows furrowed.

They were the prosecutors responsible for bringing charges against Wang Qiang, and they came to the police station to collect evidence.

"Shut up."

The middle-aged prosecutor, Hu Guang, frowned, his face stern and resolute as he reprimanded the other party.

"We are prosecutors."

"There must be no prejudice, and absolutely no personal emotions allowed!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing retorted indignantly:

"Master, I've seen the case file for Wang Qiang, and what he did was clearly..."

Zhang Qing hadn't finished speaking.

Hu Guang immediately interrupted him.

Whether he deserves to die depends on objective evidence and the court's decision; it's neither your problem nor mine!

"If you still don't understand what a public prosecution is, then get out of here and go to another group!"

The harsh tone of the statement was quite aggressive, and the atmosphere was highly charged.

See here.

Another prosecutor, the easygoing Wang Wei, quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Old Hu, what you're saying is too harsh. Zhang is still young. Who hasn't been through this? You're being too harsh."

Upon hearing this...

Hu Guang glanced at Zhang Qing, then left without a word, heading straight for the police station.

Seeing this, Wang Wei looked at Zhang Qing and said with a smile:

"Xiao Zhang, you too, the prosecution must not let personal emotions get in the way."

"If Chen Wei hears you say that... it could cause trouble."

Zhang Qing opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped and remained silent.

After a long pause, he suddenly spoke:

"Uncle Wang, what do you think will happen to Wang Qiang in this case?"

Wang Wei was silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed:

"It's hard to say. The evidence provided by the police and the statements from Lijiacun... are very unfavorable to him."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qing remained silent before speaking:

"Is there really no other way?"

Wang Wei shook his head and said:

"Alright, kid, stop worrying about these things. According to our predictions, the first trial will start in early November. Go and investigate the case with your master first."

"As for Wang Qiang...that depends on how the defense lawyer handles it."

"As for what else can be done under these conditions..."

As he spoke, he led the other man in the direction Hu Guang had gone, casually remarking:

"Then I don't know."

"After all, he can't possibly break the law, can he? That's unlikely."

......

"Let's go steal the child!"

"Uh-huh?"

"What did you say?!"

Inside the police station lobby.

Seeing Lin Yue standing there in astonishment, startled, Xu De reassured her while repeating, word by word:

"I said, my solution is..."

"Let's go steal the child!"

Lin Yue:?

After hearing the other party's plan, Lin Yue looked at him with disbelief.

The next second, her surprised voice rang out.

"No, what do you mean your method is... to steal the child?"

"That's illegal!"

"Hey, what are you saying? Where did I break the law?"

Xu De was very dissatisfied, but then spoke softly and gently, explaining slowly:

"Be calm, let me explain slowly. I guarantee that everything we're doing is absolutely legal and compliant."

"Even if you thoroughly study the Criminal Code, you won't find a single word that is illegal!"

Lin Yue:?

Child abduction? Legal? How did you, a lawyer, manage to put those two words together in a sentence?

Do you know what you're saying?!

and......

Lin Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise:

"Why would you steal a child if you have nothing better to do?!"
