Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

The instant the other person finished speaking.

Lin Yue jumped up, staring at Xu De in disbelief.

What does it mean to steal a child?

Isn't this human trafficker?! Human traffickers aren't breaking the law?!

"Hey, why are you so agitated? There are people around here on business; what if you scare them?"

Xu De felt the questioning gazes around him and was quite dissatisfied with the shocked Lin Yue.

Lin Yue:?

"No, don't you consider whether you scared me?"

Lin Yue pouted, but still sat down in the chair, then moved away as if to get further away from Xu De.

Upon seeing this, Xu De added, "Don't worry, we're completely legal!"

Lin Yue took a deep breath and slowly said, "Let's put aside the question of whether it's legal or not."

"I'm rather confused...why would you steal a child if you had nothing better to do?"

After speaking...

She opened her clear eyes wide and looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.

Regarding the custody of Wang Mei's child, the court has completed its hearing and achieved a complete victory, granting Wang Mei full custody rights.

Even if Li Youcai and Liu Cui don't give... there's always the option to apply for police enforcement, and the child will come back.

so......

No matter how you look at it, stealing a child is truly a pointless endeavor.

but......

"Do you think we can keep custody of Wang Qiang now that he's been arrested?" Xu De suddenly asked.

"this......"

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "It can't be saved."

"Why couldn't it be saved?"

Xu De sat in the chair, not nervous at all, and seemed very relaxed and talkative.

Before the other party could answer, he suddenly gave his own answer.

"Because Li Youcai and Liu Cui believed that for Wang Mei, the child was nothing compared to Wang Qiang's life-or-death crisis!"

This is a fact.

If Wang Qiang's case continues to lead to despair, Wang Mei will almost certainly use custody of him to force him to rewrite his testimony.

In other words, winning a custody case is useless.

The main issue lies with Wang Qiang. If Xu De doesn't perform well, Lin Yue will only feel empty sorrow and all her hard work will be in vain.

This is why she was willing to communicate with the other party for so long; their interests were already firmly intertwined!

Just as Lin Yue was pondering.

Suddenly.

Xu De suddenly spoke again.

"Have you ever thought about... why they would make this request?"

"You must understand, Li Erniu is their own flesh and blood, and Wang Qiang is their sworn enemy!"

"Theoretically, they should only want Wang Qiang dead!"

"But right now, they're only asking to get the child back before letting Wang Qiang go... Don't you find that strange?"

The moment those words were spoken.

Lin Yue paused, her eyes widening slightly.

Yes.

The child is their grandson, but Li Erniu is their own flesh and blood, whom they have raised for thirty years!

As a result, Wang Qiang cut open Li Youcai's stomach, but Li Youcai and Liu Cui did not feel sad at all. They even used this to blackmail him and demand custody of Li Youcai!

If it were Lin Yue, she would do anything to kill Wang Qiang, even if it meant risking her own life!

Why is that?

"Because of ignorance."

"Li Family Village is utterly ignorant, and Li Youcai and Liu Cui are the epitome of feudalism!"

Xu De didn't hesitate and gave his answer decisively.

He crossed his right leg over his left, a cold smile flashing across his face.

"Li Youcai and Liu Cui care about their descendants, but all they care about is whether there is any so-called 'continuation of bloodline'!"

Let me put it this way.

The more ignorant a person is, the more obsessed they are with "carrying on the family line."

This is something that is felt more deeply by some younger people in later generations, such as those born in the 90s and 00s.

Some parents constantly pressure you to get married. They want you to marry and have children, to give birth to a healthy baby boy to continue their bloodline. As for why...

Is there a throne to inherit?

Or is it a business empire that needs to submit its application?

nothing!

But they insist on carrying on the so-called "carrying on the family line," even at the cost of interrupting your future career path or making you bear an unbearable burden of raising children.

In short, no matter what... we have to force you to have the baby!

Having a child gives you "face," allows you to "hold your head high," and makes you feel like you've "completed your mission!"

Not having children is unfilial! It's being a rebellious child! It's shameful! It's making one unable to hold their head high!

Is there any logic to it? No, but if there were logic, there would be no such thing as "ignorance".

"Among them, the most obsessive."

"They only see children as tools to continue the bloodline. Although they may have feelings for them, these feelings are merely byproducts of 'carrying on the family line'."

Xu De's eyes revealed a calm demeanor.

From the moment Li Erniu died, he knew that Li Youcai and Liu Cui were this kind of people!

After saying that,

Lin Yue instantly understood, and immediately the reasons why Li Youcai and the other man were acting strangely became clear in her mind.

A slight look of surprise crossed her face. She covered her mouth and blurted out instinctively:

"Therefore, even though Li Erniu was their child, they didn't feel any pain when he died."

"Because their bloodline continued, they had a grandson!"

Xu De nodded. "That's right."

"Li Youcai and Liu Cui are both over sixty years old and have lost their ability to have children."

"His only son is dead, and he only has one grandson."

"Losing this grandson...it would be tantamount to cutting off their family line!"

Even though Wang Mei took the child away, he is still alive and well.

But in Li Youcai's and his companion's minds, it was no different from being dead and childless.

"In conclusion, we have reached a conclusion."

Xu De took a deep breath, looked at Lin Yue, and continued to explain calmly and clearly:

"Currently, there are two cases involving 'Wang Qiang' and custody."

"Our primary concern is the 'Wang Qiang case,' while Li Youcai's concern is the 'custody case.'"

The needs of the two sides are different.

This is why Chen Wei, a lawyer at Yang Teng Law Firm, believes that it is possible to achieve a win-win situation with Xu De, where both parties can get what they need!

But then a problem arises.

Now that we understand the other party's purpose, let's return to the question we started with.

In a daze.

Xu De's eyes narrowed, and he put the whole topic aside, returning to the beginning.

"Why would we steal children!?"

Before answering that question, I want to ask one more.

"Right now."

"Why should we be threatened when both sides clearly have needs?!"

Two questions remain unanswered.

Lin Yue's thoughts, which she had just organized, were instantly thrown into chaos, and her mind went blank.

Yes.

The other party wants a child; without the child, their lineage will be cut off.

Wang Mei, from her side, did not want her father to die, because if he died, he would live in pain for the rest of his life.

Both sides clearly had their concerns and their needs were considerable... yet Li Youcai dared to directly threaten them. On what grounds?!

"Because of the urgency brought about by time!"

Xu De didn't mince words and gave his answer decisively.

Lin Yue was taken aback, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of confusion.

She leaned slightly closer to Xu De, her hair falling loose, a faint scent of gardenias wafting into her nostrils. Looking at Xu De with a puzzled expression, she asked:

"What urgency?"

"This means that the two cases, due to the different times they occurred, resulted in different mindsets and different urgency of needs."

Xu De was not seduced by the beauty; his mind remained clear. He leaned back in his chair, arms crossed.

"The Wang Qiang case is urgent."

"Half a month... at most half a month, November 9th, the case will go to trial, and then we'll likely have a decision on whether Wang Qiang lives or dies!"

"On the other hand, what about the issue of child custody?"

Wang Qiang will face a life-or-death crisis in half a month. If he is sentenced to death and cannot appeal to the second instance, the other party will really be dead!

Only half a month has passed!

And child custody...

"Although the verdict in Wang Qiang's case was announced half a month ahead of schedule, what is the actual execution period?"

Xu De countered with a question, "Attorney Lin couldn't possibly be unaware of this, could she?"

Lin Yue paused.

She was a professional lawyer, so she naturally knew what the other party meant.

Custody cases are very protracted.

First, after the court awards custody to Wang Mei, it will give Li Youcai and Liu Cui a period of time to fulfill the judgment and give the child to the other party, let's say one month.

What if, a month later... Li Youcai still doesn't give it to me when the time comes?

Then you can only apply for enforcement by the police, but... usually it takes a year, or even two or three years, after the performance period has expired before the police will enforce it and take the child away!

Lin Yue remained silent for a moment, then finally said dryly, "Two...two or three years."

"I won't say three years, nor will I say two years."

Xu De shook his head and directly compared the times of the two sides.

"They're enforcing it after only one year!"

"Li Youcai still has a year left. A year later, he will experience the feeling of 'being childless and without descendants,' while we..."

His voice was somewhat low as he uttered a number that silenced everyone.

"Only fifteen days!"

Fifteen days equals one year.

Li Youcai wasn't in a hurry, but Wang Mei was very anxious.

In business thinking, the more urgent you are, the greater the demand, and the easier it is for others to manipulate you, leading to behaviors such as last-minute price increases!

"That's why, even though we both have needs, the other side dares to directly threaten us!" Xu De said.

Lin Yue paused, then fell silent.

From the current perspective...

This is a dead end.

The execution periods for the two cases are completely different. Unless Dongguo temporarily changes the law, they will always be more anxious than Li Youcai!

But that is clearly impossible.

"Hmm... why is Attorney Lin lost in thought again?"

Xu De, standing beside him, raised an eyebrow, lowered his head, and tried to offer a reminder.

Lin Yue snapped out of her reverie, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and a hint of melancholy crept into her delicate features.

"It's nothing, I just feel this case is a bit difficult..."

Disaster?

"What's the difficulty?" Xu De was taken aback.

Lin Yue was also stunned upon hearing this.

The other party has explained it so clearly, and the timeliness cannot be changed... how can you not understand the difficulty?!

"Never mind, we'll talk about that later. Anyway, let's go back to the beginning."

"In other words, why would I steal a child!"

Xu De didn't care about the other party's thoughts. He waved his hand and brought the matter back to the beginning.

"Because I want to..."

"Artificially creating a sense of urgency!"
