Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

at the same time.

Thanh Wu Province, Ngoc Sen City.

At 7:30 p.m., the streets were quiet, the sky was shrouded in darkness, and a cold wind howled through the streets.

After getting out of the car, the two figures walked silently down the road.

"Da da da"

After a long while, Xu De stopped at the entrance of an alley and looked around.

Immediately, my gaze settled on a dark figure picking up trash on both sides of the street. The person was holding a fertilizer woven bag, which was bulging out of shape from being filled with empty bottles.

"Ahem!"

Xu De coughed twice.

next second.

At the alley entrance, the small figure immediately became alert, looked around, gripped the woven bag tightly with its left hand, and made as if to run. "It's me."

Xu De stepped forward and stood under the streetlight, revealing his figure.

See here.

The homeless man carrying the woven bag breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward.

next second.

The glaring light shone on him, illuminating his appearance.

The other person's face was covered in grime and dirt, and their short hair, which reached their neck, was so dirty and messy that it covered the upper half of their face, leaving only their lips and the tip of their nose exposed. Their hair was matted with grime, making them look quite unsightly.

Lin Yue stood to the side, curiously observing the other person.

Here, eat slowly.

Xu De stood under the streetlight, pushed the thing in his hand forward, and handed it to the other person.

He deliberately made a lot of food for dinner; there were four of them, and he and Lin Yue couldn't finish it all by themselves.

There was still enough for one and a half people left, which was more than enough for the two children.

only....

The person in front of him, who was only 1.6 meters tall, didn't immediately accept the offer. Instead, he circled around Xu De twice, looking somewhat suspicious.

After a while.

He began:

Where did you go?

He hadn't seen the other person for several days. In the past two days, he even went to the entrance of Jinmao Law Firm to check, only to find that Xu De hadn't gone to work either. He even staked out the entrance of the apartment complex where the other person lived, apartment 404, but still couldn't find him.

Are you worried about me?

Xu De casually asked a question in return, and said with a chuckle.

"Who's worried about you!?"

The child immediately bristled, his tone somewhat anxious, but his speech was very unclear, his fingers fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.

"I just... I just think that if you're gone someday, maybe I might... maybe I'll miss a few meals... um, that's it!" "Sigh, that's so heartbreaking. I'm not even worth a few meals."

Xu De made a gesture of sighing.

The other person seemed a bit anxious, so they quickly added, "Actually... it's not just a few meals..."

"Uh-huh."

Xu De laughed, deciding not to tease the child anymore, and glanced around.

January is exceptionally cold; the wind feels like knives cutting into your skin.

Xu De turned his gaze to the other person.

The child was dressed in a gender-neutral style, wearing various clothes that had been taken from outside and stacked together, with a summer short-sleeved shirt still faintly visible.

There were absolutely no down jackets or similar clothing available.

In a daze.

Lin Yue, who was standing to one side, suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yue spoke, then put on her flat shoes and walked towards the distance.

Under the streetlights.

The two watched her retreating figure for a long time, and then the child sighed:

"She's so beautiful..."

"What, it's etched in your mind?" Xu De looked the other person up and down.

"Why are you looking at me like that?!"

The child's tone quickened, "I don't like women."

"Heh, he's gay too."

Xu De paused, looked at the three layers of bloated children in front of him, and silently took a step back.

"Why are you stepping back?"

The child was puzzled.

"Also, what does 'same' mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything," Xu De said.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly spoke again, reminding the other person:

"It's January, almost Chinese New Year. Be careful out there. Try to go out in the afternoon or morning when there are lots of people." "Be careful not to get hurt, or you won't even have money to hire a lawyer."

"I don't represent you in court for free; my fees are very high."

The Spring Festival falls in early February.

Generally speaking, most people probably think that during the Spring Festival, most people will behave themselves as well as possible and try not to cause trouble at this critical time.

But in reality...

Serious acts of violence have indeed decreased significantly.

However, "holiday-related crimes" are rampant!

For example, gambling, provoking trouble, and petty theft.

Such illegal incidents occur frequently on the day of the Spring Festival. Almost every year, there are several people who cause trouble while drunk in the news.

"oh oh."

The child nodded blankly, not knowing why, but still willing to obey.

But... he hesitated, then spoke again:

"But... I can't find anything when I go out during the day."

Xu De fell into thought.

After a long silence, he finally spoke:

"Then try to choose times when there are many passersby, and don't go out alone at night. At the very least, come with Zhang Er."

The words were spoken.

Zhang Da paused slightly, then a look of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.

"Huh, you recognize me!?"

Zhang Da was shocked. He was dressed like this, and even looked almost exactly like Zhang Er. How could the other person recognize him? Xu De did not answer.

The other party was indeed dressed too well; a normal person wouldn't recognize them.

Even I can hardly recognize myself; with this kind of attire, there's no use in bone structure analysis skills.

He identified them purely by their physical condition; Zhang Er was coughing the whole time, while Zhang Da was in better health.

Just as Zhang was shocked.

In a daze.

Lin Yue's figure suddenly returned, walking towards them from a distance, carrying a pile of things in her hands.

"These are relief supplies that the Taoist temple is preparing to distribute to people outside the temple."

"There are down jackets, you can take two. Then there are candles, matches, rice, flour, and oil. See if there's anything you can take." She was carrying some rice, flour, and oil in her hand.

In addition, there were two black down jackets, whose warmth far surpassed that of the short-sleeved shirts worn by the other party.

Zhang Da didn't rush to take it.

He looked at the other person suspiciously, somewhat wary of this inexplicable kindness, and glanced up at Xu De.

"Take it," Xu De said.

These are all things from the Taoist temple.

Abbot Guanxin was never greedy for money. Therefore, although Baiyun Temple could not compare with the incense offerings of Taoist temples and monasteries in tourist attractions, the money he accumulated each year was quite considerable because he never used it.

Every year at the end of the year, the other party would use money to purchase a batch of goods, which would then be distributed before the end of the year.

In a sense, it can be considered as taking from the people and using it for the people.

As for the renovation of the Taoist temple, it was naturally provided by people like Xu Delin and Guo Dong, in addition to official subsidies.

"oh oh."

Zhang Dalian reached out to take it, but when he raised his hand, two dark hands, which had just finished rummaging through the trash can, came out.

He looked at the clean and tidy down jacket, then at his hands, a look of hesitation on his face.

Fortunately, Lin Yue also brought the bag with her, and then folded the clothes and put them in.

"Thanks."

He spoke to Lin Yue.

"You're welcome."

Lin Yue pursed her lips and stood to the side, her posture very upright and graceful. Under the light, her beauty appeared somewhat hazy.

Zhang Da stared blankly, then looked at his clothes and fell silent.

"Hehe, Mr. Loading!"

Xu De muttered to himself, thinking that the woman next to him changed her expression way too quickly.

Meeting outsiders is a completely different experience than meeting oneself.

However, he was too lazy to think about it anymore.

He looked at Zhang Da and said:

"Go back. The closer it gets to the Spring Festival, the more uneasy I feel."

"Be careful on the road."

Xu De handed the dishes to the other person, then turned and left, leaving only one sentence echoing in the alley.

"Oh, right."

"I currently live at Baiyun Temple. You can come to Baiyun Temple to find me if you need anything."

The words were spoken.

His figure vanished, leaving only a bottomless darkness before him, as if it were about to devour everything.

in situ.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Da finally decided to carry all the bags back by himself.

If it's shipped back in batches...

Maybe when I go back a second time, everything will be gone!

Fortunately, since the clothes were stored in paper bags, he simply carried them in his mouth, while holding rice and oil in one hand and rice in the other, and casually pulling on the woven bag.

He was like a worm.

Worms in dark sewers.

In the darkness, in the corners of the alley, it slowly crawled, emitting a foul stench.

Zhang Da carried his belongings through several alleyways until he finally came to an abandoned bridge archway, with a figure vaguely visible at the entrance.

Upon seeing him return, the other person quickly stepped forward and took the items from him.

"Cough cough."

"You're back...wait...where did you find all this?"

A slight cough sounded, and Zhang Da felt the burden on his body lighten slightly. He breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"I saw that lawyer!"

"Is he alright?" Zhang Er asked with some concern.

Zhang patted his chest and said, "Nothing's wrong, I'm fine, I look like I'm still alive and kicking."

"These things were given to him by a kind person in his life."

talking.

Zhang Da seemed to remember something. A smile played on his lips as he rummaged through his woven bag, finally pulling out several strips of red paper. "Look, I found the couplets!"

"With clothes, food, and couplets, we can celebrate the New Year!"

Zhang Da spoke up, his tone proud.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Er nodded and felt happy as well.

The two were extremely excited.

They took a couple of steps outside, looked at the abandoned bridge arch, and discussed where they should hang the couplets.

The two snuggled together, talking to each other.

After a while.

Zhang Da then found some clean water and washed Zhang Er's neck and wrists.

Finally, he changed into a relatively clean undershirt before taking out the down jacket and giving it to the other person to wear.

Zhang Er paused for a moment, then was startled and exclaimed in astonishment:

"Zhang Da, this clothing is biting me!"

Zhang Da slapped him and said, "You pig-head!"

"That's because the clothes got warmer!"

"Oh." Zhang Er nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he reluctantly took off his clothes.

"I'll wear it during the Chinese New Year."

"Uh-huh."

This night, January 15th.

The darkness of Green Forest City remains as it always has.

Some residents were feeding their children, some were lying in bed watching TV, and others were driving around various entertainment venues. Green Forest City resembled a first-tier city full of petty bourgeois.

There are also people.

Huddled in a dark corner, enjoying their own happiness.

At the same time.

Qingwu Province, Wutong City.

Provincial Department.

Inside the office.

"Okay, I understand. We will take your opinion seriously, Mr. Chen. ... Everyone has the opportunity to vote, and the weighting is clear. Rest assured, we will never favor any side."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, thank you for your help!"

With a "beep," the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

Shishan looked at his phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

See here.

People around immediately rushed over and hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong? Who called? A lawyer or a teacher?"

"Old Chen? Which Old Chen? One of those from the Bar Association?"

"That doesn't seem right, I have a feeling it's something from above..."

The topic of the phone call was related to the shortlisted spots. Since that was the case, the caller was implicating their work, and they wanted to question Qing Shishan. He glanced back at them and then spoke:

"It's Chen Jingshan!"

Chen Jingshan.

It really is Chen Jingshan!

Upon hearing this...

"Is it Chen Jingshan, the one who went to the High Court back then?"

Several judges couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he retire?!"

The words were spoken.

People recalled some memories from decades ago.

Chen Jingshan was a government employee in his early years, later rising to a position in the provincial department and even visiting the Supreme People's Court.

Judging by the timing, that period should have been when the Supreme People's Court went to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission to discuss new and progressive laws, and Chen Jingshan was involved in this matter. When he returned, the other party was full of anger, and not long after, he retired early.

After retiring, he became a lawyer and identified himself as one.

Of course, even though the other party is ostensibly a lawyer, you can't actually treat them as one.

The other party's qualifications, connections, level of contact, and ideas are far beyond what ordinary people can achieve. Even within the entire Qingwu Province judicial system, no one does not respect him!

no way.

The other person is 65 years old. Even if we start counting from 30 years ago, let's not go back 40 years...

God knows what kind of cases they've taken on!

but.

The local lawyer disappeared after only a few years.

Who knows where they might be hiding in some remote corner of the world? And just like that... who knows where you might run into such a person!

Normally, they would contact Lin Guodong and ask him to pass on the message.

But today...

"Why is Old Chen calling you?!" someone exclaimed.

In previous years, Chen Jingshan had never bothered with the selection of classic cases; to paraphrase the other party, the selected cases were meaningless. Why, then, this year, at such a crucial juncture, did he suddenly make a phone call?!

After a moment of silence, Shishan finally spoke:

"Old Chen has given the case a rating."

How do I rate the case?

"Which case?" someone asked.

Shishan said, "The case involving Lijia Village in Lusen City, and the case involving No. 18 Middle School!"

These two cases?!

Everyone was taken aback.

If we're talking about the most unusual cases this year, these two are definitely the most noteworthy.

The former has a significant impact, involving dormant legal provisions.

The latter involves minors, and the way they won the case is extremely unusual, which is not supported by the authorities at all.

"What was his assessment?" someone else asked.

How was it evaluated?

Ishiyama remained silent for a moment, then finally took a deep breath and spoke:

"His evaluation... wasn't high, but it wasn't low either."

"If I had to give a number, it would be just enough for these two cases..."

"Shortlisted!"
