Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

In the dock.

Leaving with nothing...

I was left with nothing!

At this moment, the defendant Yang Chunping was trembling with anger, her breathing became increasingly rapid, and her eyes were bloodshot. Her eyes were fixed on Sun Li like those of a hungry wolf. Her first reaction was not to look for Wang Yu and Xu De.

It's Sun Li!

"Where's the money! Tell me, did you do this on purpose?!"

Yang Chunping suddenly broke off relations with Sun Li and even got into a physical altercation with her in court.

"Are you trying to sow discord between me because you see me doing too well?!"

Eighty thousand in compensation...

A full 80,000 yuan in compensation, plus 250 yuan per month!

Yang Chunping felt like she was going crazy. She was so happy when she was fantasizing about dividing the money, but now that she was actually getting her share, she was furious.

And the cause of it all...

It was Sun Li who stirred things up!

"Did you do this on purpose? Did you conspire with Wang Yu to swindle my money?!"

"Sun Li, if I'm not doing well, you won't have it easy either!"

As Yang Chunping spoke angrily, her hand gestures became noticeably more and more exaggerated.

Sun Li didn't take any action at first; she was only protecting herself.

But as the amplitude of the other party increases.

She was increasingly frustrated.

The verdict in this case will have a huge impact on her!

The junior lawyer made a living solely from civil cases. She handled a divorce case for a woman, resulting in her losing everything and even having to pay 80,000 yuan in compensation… After that, who would want to take her cases anymore?!

If we don't get any cases, we'll all starve!

"Yang Chunping, did you tell me what you did?!"

Sun Li suddenly started to fight back, stopping the other person's actions with both hands, spitting as she angrily said:

"I told you that divorce cases involve dividing money, but I never told you to get a divorce!"

"You were the one who wanted a divorce!"

"Besides, have you told me about the child's condition?!"

"Damn it, you've ruined my life, you bitch!"

talking.

Sun Li grew increasingly angry, and overwhelmed by her emotions, she pushed the other person to the ground.

"Sizzle!"

Yang Chunping fell headfirst, but instead of calming down, she became even angrier. She immediately got up and started fighting with him.

The two covered each other's hair, cursing at each other continuously.

The bailiffs and the court clerk who hadn't left rushed over to break up the fight.

Plaintiff's seat.

"Tsk, look what you've done."

Seeing this, Lin Yue showed a hint of helplessness on her face, and then turned to look at Xu De.

"What does this have to do with me? I didn't forge any documents; everything was legal and compliant."

Xu De casually remarked, showing no remorse for the beating, since he had acted legally and compliantly throughout.

He even presented evidence for the first time!

This is evidence that Huang Shi and Zhang Wei desperately wanted before the trial; they have already been lenient enough towards the other party.

Moreover, it's not uncommon for disagreements between lawyers and clients, or for lawyers to be cheated by their clients, to escalate into physical altercations. There are even cases of lawyers fighting with judges in civil cases!

Thinking of this.

Xu De composed himself and turned to look at Wang Yu to the side.

A smile appeared on his face, and he spoke gently:

"Mr. Wang, the first-instance judgment is now in effect. Therefore..."

"Then our agency agreement is now complete. Next, I will guide you through the final procedures, and then you can find the police to take your child home."

"As for the subsequent cases... they will be handled by the other senior lawyers in our firm!"

After the civil divorce dispute is over, there is still the criminal case.

Yang Chunping's actions may not necessarily constitute a criminal offense, but Guo Tu's case is 100% a criminal case!

Guo Tu made up for all the money that Yang Chunping hadn't paid out!

The police have obtained sufficient information to determine that Guo Tu, who claims to be a painting teacher, actually maintains inappropriate relationships with multiple middle-aged women. He also has a decent amount of money, enough to compensate Wang Yu.

"I.."

Wang Yu's lips moved for a moment, and he looked at the lawyer in front of him, feeling somewhat dazed.

Two weeks ago.

He was still worried that his assets might be subject to a 82 land reform, and that all his hard work over the years would be taken away by others. But right now...

But it was a perfect score of 100.

Ten of them!

Yang Chunping suffered the consequences of her actions, being ordered by the judge to leave the marriage with nothing!

This would have been unbelievable even in the past... no, even now!

It's such a pity about the suffering the child endured...

Fortunately, we have money, which can provide some security for our children's future!

Thinking of this.

Wang Yu was very excited. He looked up at Xu De, and the scene was completely different from that in the defendant's dock.

"Attorney Xu, thank you, thank you so much!"

"I will contact your law firm later, especially for my criminal case!"

Criminal cases are always a sure thing to win, and these cases are usually snapped up by other law firms.

But the prerequisite is that the parties involved in the case are willing to give them the case.

If they're unwilling, then there's nothing you can do even if you rack your brains.

"Thank you for your help."

Xu De smiled.

Earn money from two cases, one criminal and one civil, in just 8 days!

The law firm is thriving.

"No trouble at all," Wang Yu said, somewhat apprehensive.

The three watched for a while longer as the two defendants fought in the dock, until the bailiffs separated them, before they left.

Not long after, the final procedures were completed.

The three then said their goodbyes and left. Xu De got into the car, and Lin Yue drove him back.

On his way back, he was resting with his eyes closed when, in a daze, a pale blue light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Congratulations on completing Civil Case 1!

[The customer expressed extremely high praise and satisfaction with your service!]

Congratulations on receiving 20 Thank You Coins!

[Thanks Coins: 35]

It was 6 PM.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was darkening.

"Sizzle!"

A car came to a stop in a parking space at the entrance of Baiyun Temple.

"Clang!"

The driver's side door opened, and Lin Yue stepped out.

"Phew, I'm so hungry. I didn't eat lunch, and I still have to go to court... I feel like I'm going to lose ten years of my life by following you."

Lin Yue breathed in the fresh air and finally felt a little more energetic.

She rubbed her flat stomach, which had no excess fat, and looked at Xu De with a hint of disdain.

Although lawyers, like doctors, often encounter various unexpected events that prevent them from eating.

But Xu De...

For him, two meals a day is practically a rule!

"Sigh, young people tend to gain weight easily if they eat too much."

Xu De said casually.

He's long been used to hunger, enduring it since childhood, and has adapted to it now. Of course, he never overeats. Although he spends money very precisely and decisively, he has a morbidly meticulous approach to food.

If it weren't for the two homeless brothers who used to wait for him to feed them, he could have eaten all the food in his refrigerator little by little.

Xu De might be able to emulate the shrewdness and meticulousness of the rural elderly!

correct.

"I haven't seen those two boys for several days. I wonder how they are doing now."

Xu De suddenly thought of something.

A thought struck him, and he immediately spoke:

"True Lord".

Lin Yue, who was walking towards Baiyun Temple, paused and subconsciously turned to look at him, a look of confusion on her face.

"Um?"

She's become immune to those two words now; she's obedient and compliant.

"Where is the kitchen?"

Xu De asked.

"What are you doing in the kitchen?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, then immediately guessed what was going on, and asked in surprise:

"You can cook!?"

"I know a little bit."

Xu De nodded.

"Really? Is it edible?"

Lin Yue was delighted. She thought that if the other person's cooking was not good, she would have a good opportunity to give them a nickname!

"It's alright."

Xu De smiled, neither refuting nor admitting it.

Lin Yue didn't think too much about it.

She led Xu De into Baiyun Temple, and they began to work in the kitchen.

About half an hour later.

night.

6:42.

As night fell and the sky gradually darkened, the kitchen lights remained on.

Soon.

"They're here."

Xu De carried three plates of food into the stone pavilion.

Inside the stone pavilion.

At this moment, Lin Yue was sitting there. When she saw the figure, she couldn't help but straighten her body and look up at him.

She was just about to speak...

next second!

The strange aroma of food in the air hit her delicate nose with a series of punches.

"what!"

Lin Yuexing opened her eyes wide, her face showing surprise and disbelief as she looked at Xu De, who was bringing the dishes to the table.

"How come your cooking smells so good!?"

I couldn't smell the aroma... but the appearance of the dish was like that of a work of art!

Xu De gave a faint smile.

The bonus from a [V2 Chef] is already beyond that of a head chef in a normally popular hotel.

But...it's obvious that if you can complete a case that grants you these skills, your own abilities and value exceed the skills themselves! "Want to try it?" Xu De tempted.

Lin Yue's appetite was whetted; her stomach rumbled, she kept swallowing, and her eyes were glued to the screen.

But Xu De knew what kind of True Lord was standing before him.

What?

True Lord of the Rabbit Day!

Or rather, he's a stubborn man.

"Let me tell you, it's not enough for a dish to just look good and smell good; it needs to have a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste."

Lin Yue stubbornly insisted, "I have to try it first."

"Do you want to eat it?" Xu De asked.

"I... I can force myself to eat a little."

Lin Yue tucked a stray hair behind her ear and spoke seriously.

Seeing this, Xu De looked at the refined but tense "serious face" that kept glancing at the table, and found it somewhat amusing. He casually remarked:

"Then I would be grateful if you, True Lord, could have a chance to judge it."

"No trouble at all!"

Lin Yue spoke repeatedly, then immediately picked up her chopsticks, grabbed a piece of food, and stuffed it into her soft lips.

The next second, I felt the salty and savory flavor spreading in my mouth...

"Hmm!"

Lin Yue's eyes lit up, like a country bumpkin eating cat treats for the first time.

"How does it taste?" Xu De asked as he sat down and ate.

"Okay... cough, I mean it's alright."

Lin Yue swallowed the food in her mouth and spoke somewhat awkwardly, then quickly added a sentence.

"certainly."

"Although food should be presented in a way that makes it appealing in color, aroma, and taste."

"But food is essentially for filling your stomach!"

"If I can eat my fill, I might reluctantly give you a higher score."

Xu De found it somewhat amusing and casually remarked:

"When did you learn to be so particular from Chaozi?"

"Eat up... but remember to save some for me to take to someone else later."

Lin Yue began her battle with the food; she was determined to conquer this table of delicious dishes and show them what a big appetite really was.

However, it's obvious that at 167cm tall and only 50kg, with a considerable amount of weight piled up in her chest, she couldn't handle the "stomach ghost" and naturally couldn't finish those dishes.

Xu De ate silently.

After a long while, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, which made him pause.

"Gurgle~"

Xu De paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and smiled at the figure, saying:

"The one who observes the mind?"

"Have you eaten yet? If not, would you like to try this?"

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yue, who was about to recover from a heart attack, looked up and happened to see Abbot Guanxin walking towards her.

She immediately sat up.

Unlike her easygoing demeanor when she met Xu De alone, she appeared very well-mannered and ladylike. She sat upright and spoke gently:

"Grandpa Chen, Attorney Xu is a very good cook. He prepared all of this. Please have a taste."

Dead stock!

Xu De looked at her with a mocking smile, while Lin Yue pretended not to see it.

The two spent half a year together, and the other person had clearly learned some shameless behaviors.

These minor incidents naturally did not escape the eyes of Abbot Guanxin.

The old man, dressed in plain clothes, strolled towards them, speaking gently:

"As people get older, their sense of taste deteriorates, and besides, they've already eaten dinner."

"I'm afraid I won't have that blessing today."

Abbot Guanxin stopped in his tracks. His figure was thin and hunched, but his tone was very gentle. He said, "You all continue eating. I just came out for a walk." "We've already finished eating!"

Xu De and Lin Yue spoke up.

"Yes." The host nodded.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Xu De pulled out a plastic bag he had taken from the kitchen and packed up the leftover food separately.

"Young man, there's a refrigerator in the kitchen. You don't need to use plastic bags to pack it;..."

Guan Xin presided over the opening remarks.

"No, I'll bring some for others to try."

"There are a few 'wild men' nearby, I go and feed them when I have nothing else to do."

Xu De spoke, and as he spoke, he picked up the food and prepared to walk outside.

Wild man?

Are they homeless, wandering the wilderness like wild men?

As he watched the other person's back, Abbot Guanxin paused for a moment. In a daze, his aged voice, like a withered leaf, drifted to Xu De's ears on the cold wind.

"Young friend."

What are your thoughts on the provincial case selection process? The deadline for nominations is approaching.

The entrance to Baiyun Temple.

Xu De, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks. Hearing this, he turned back to look at the host, thought for a moment, and casually said:

"I don't have much to say about it; it's a conservative case that's like stagnant water."

"But that's normal, since the rule of law is about maintaining stability, and keeping cases conservative is beneficial to society."

A stagnant pool?

So radical?

The abbot, Guanxin, looked at the other person with a smile and asked again:

"I'm talking about you, young friend. I read in the newspaper that you've solved two major cases."

Xu De raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"I reckon it won't make the cut."

"But it doesn't matter, I didn't take these cases with the intention of getting classic examples."

Xu De's bottom line is sometimes high and sometimes low. He has high moral standards for some people, but other than these people, he is often called worse than an animal.

But overall...

He still has his own bottom line; even without a panel, he will still take on some cases.

After all, the cases vary in difficulty, and the panel doesn't specify that he has to take on big cases. He can find some easy small cases to handle, and there's no need to take risks. It's purely a matter of personal choice.

"Young friend, you are quite open-minded. I'm just afraid that once you're shortlisted, you'll be too scared to speak when you see those leaders during the debate." Guan Xin, the host, laughed heartily, straightening his thin frame.

"I?"

Xu De smiled.

"Host, I may not have much else, but I do have strong legs."

joke.

The round trip to Lianshan County was 4,000 kilometers, not counting the mountain climbing and river wading. Wang Chao was almost exhausted from walking. His legs were so strong they could forge iron, how could they possibly give way?

Moreover...,

"The case is special, so I won't be among the shortlisted candidates."

Xu De shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.

He turned and left.

"I'm going to feed the savages now."

The words were spoken.

He then left with Lin Yue, disappearing at the main entrance.

The provincial level officials are extremely strict in their selection process. The city-level submissions have to be screened first, shortlisted, and then dozens are chosen from those shortlisted candidates. Under these circumstances, let alone being selected, even just being shortlisted is extremely difficult.

Sometimes, not a single person from an entire city can make the list in a whole year!

If so, even if you are not elected, it would still be a great achievement!

and so.

Xu De had not thought about this matter, especially since his case was highly controversial, with dozens of leaders having differing opinions, making it a tangled mess that could not be untangled.

"A spot on the shortlist..."

Inside the stone pavilion.

The abbot, Guan Xin, murmured.

7:30 p.m.

Qingwu Province, Provincial Department Office.

"Phew~"

"We've done most of the evaluations, and there are only a few shortlisted candidates left."

"Which two cases did Green Forest City report this year...?"

"Sigh, this is tough. This case is too special. In previous years, it wouldn't even make it to the shortlist. It was only because of the lawyer's efforts and the shocking verdict that it was shortlisted. But the way he won is extremely controversial..."

"It's a pity that no one is willing to endorse him and let him debate."

"I am quite optimistic about the case of Lijiacun. If it is selected, the probability of the courts in Qingwu Province, a province with a population of 100 million, being acquitted will increase, and the dormant clauses will be activated for the first time."

"What are you thinking? You can't even make the cut..."

Wutong City, Provincial Department of Legal Research and Supervision.

Inside the office.

Shishan and a few others looked at the scores in their hands, as well as brief reports on several application cases, and started chatting.

As they chatted, a look of astonishment crossed their faces.

The two cases in Green Forest City.

If the nature of the case is changed, or the method of litigation is changed, judging purely from the difficulty, it seems like a sure thing.

But reality doesn't allow for "what ifs." As things stand... it seems unlikely. Barring unforeseen circumstances, they'll be collectively excluded from the shortlist. What a pity.

Just as they all thought the same thing.

In a daze.

A shrill telephone ring shattered the silence.

"Beep beep beep beep~!"

Shi Shan looked down at his phone, and his expression changed drastically after seeing the caller ID.

Those around him were also puzzled, wondering who had called him.

As for Shishan.

He immediately took out his phone and answered the call.

"Beep~!"

Shi Shan respectfully said, "Elder Chen!"

Old Chen?

Those around paused, then a wave of shock washed over them.

That Chen Jingshan!?

Shi Shan then asked, "Elder Chen, it's so late, what instructions do you have?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, an old, slightly hoarse voice slowly came from the speaker, startling everyone into a look of astonishment.

"Little Stone, I heard..."

"Has Green Forest City recently submitted two somewhat unusual criminal cases for consideration in the selection of classic cases?"
