Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Heh, you ape, you should know that in a provincial capital like Wutong City, a place with abundant political resources, nepotism is far more prevalent than you can imagine." Qian Hao shook his head.

He came from Yenching, came from a distinguished family, and had extremely high-quality teachers. His perspective and vision were beyond those of ordinary people.

"For example?" Wang Chao asked suspiciously.

"for example?"

"For example, the things I just mentioned."

Qian Hao casually said:

Are classic case studies important? Yes.

"If it's important, then we have to take it, even if it's from one of the top three law firms in the province!"

"So, in this situation, wouldn't you assume that the three parties are at odds, giving each other low scores?"

Theoretically speaking, yes.

There are only so many spots available, and the three law firms are competing with each other; theoretically, they should be fighting against each other.

Think about it this way.

If your own case is rejected, and then a case from another law firm is selected that you can beat the opponent's case... wouldn't that help those other law firms?

No, it won't.

"You know, sometimes, people would rather spend more money to smash or destroy a product than give it away for free."

Qian Hao shook his head.

"The same goes for the major law firms in Wutong City."

"The quotas are limited to a few, and they must ensure that a certain number are reserved locally each year until this rule spreads and becomes an unwritten rule. Generally, provincial capitals need to occupy three quotas, and even in areas with fewer quotas, they need to occupy around two."

How many criminal cases are available each year?

In previous years, this was unknown, but Qian Wu's family told him that there were only 5 criminal cases this year!

In other words, even if it's just a little...

According to unspoken rules, even if Lan Hua has three law firms, they still have to occupy two of the spots!

The entire Qingwu Province has a total of 16 prefecture-level cities!

In other words, the remaining 15 districts, even before the competition has begun, are already vying for the only three available spots. "Therefore..."

"Sometimes, competitors, in order to avoid disrupting the market, maliciously score cases from other regions." "Attorney Xu was shortlisted in two cases."

"If all of them are selected, and Wutong City needs two, then the remaining 14 cities will compete for one spot. Do you think that's reasonable?" Qian Hao asked.

Wang Chao hesitated for a moment, but did not refute it; instead, he fell into thought.

Qian Hao said to himself:

"So, we should either remove Lawyer Xu's spot."

"Either we reduce their own quota system, and once we set this precedent, there will be no more unspoken rules favoring them."

It would be fine if Wutong City didn't have any cases selected this year, but right now... the other side has four cases shortlisted this year.

In short

Qian Wu looked in the direction Xu De had left, shook his head, and sighed:

"It's difficult."

at the same time.

1:30 PM.

Qingwu Province, Wutong City.

Wutong City is the capital, political center, and economic heart of Thanh Wu Province.

The entire city is thriving and full of vitality, with a prosperous economy and a flourishing scene.

If you ignore the phone and just look at the commercial street and the pedestrian streets of the major shopping malls, you can even feel that this is the future 2026! It gives people a sense of youth.

Just like Haicheng.

Wutong City, within one kilometer of the court, on Rongfu Avenue.

In an office building.

"Director, all the shortlisted candidates for this year are here. There are a total of 10 criminal cases."

Blue Flower Law Firm.

Inside the office.

The law firm director, Feng Ji, adjusted his glasses and looked at the person in front of the desk, then took the documents from them.

He was upright and slender, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with an imposing gaze, meticulously styled hair, and wearing gold-rimmed glasses. As he looked around, he pondered inwardly.

Lanhua Law Firm consistently ranks second in Qingwu Province, a province with a population of over 100 million, often vying for the top spot with Gaozheng and Jinyang Law Firms. Among themselves, Lanhua is generally considered the best in the province.

First of all.

It's the vast resources of the blue flower!

In terms of political resources, they have deep cooperation with official bodies, whether it's the municipal or provincial bureaus, and in matters involving the judicial field, Lanhua will undertake the work. Secondly, there are economic resources.

Lanhua Law Firm's business scope covers legal services for 50% of the large companies in Wutong City!

If it weren't for the restrictions of the anti-monopoly law, he could have even dominated Wutong City!

Next, let's look at the staffing and their positions.

Lanhua Law Firm boasts over a hundred employees, with numerous top-tier lawyers and even its trainee lawyers being graduates of prestigious universities (like 211 universities). Several professors and experts from renowned universities serve as advisors. Feng Ji himself is the president of the provincial bar association!

Its overall configuration, combined with that of Gaozheng and Jinyang, is only superior to that of Lanhua.

Furthermore, authoritative institutions have ranked it 13th among law firms nationwide!

However, this year...

"Two criminal cases?"

Feng Ji frowned as he looked at the information in his hand.

"Yes, we have two cases shortlisted this year: one is a 'crackdown on organized crime' in cooperation with the authorities, and the other is a criminal homicide case," replied Sun Qiao, Minister of the Criminal Investigation Department.

"Gao Zheng and Jin Yang each have one case."

Feng Ji said, "No, I'm talking about him."

Feng Ji shook his head, then stretched out his hand and pointed to two of the cases.

"The Lijiacun case? The No. 18 Middle School case?"

"Which two cases are these?"

Feng Ji frowned, then shifted his gaze to the personal information of the personnel handling the case.

He spoke, murmuring softly.

"Attorney in charge, Xu De, 25 years old, male, graduated from Yenching University, founder of 'Houde Law Firm'..." the document states.

Feng Ji looked at Xu De's young face and frowned slightly.

25岁？

Two classic criminal cases!

To be honest, Feng Ji had no idea how these two words were put together, especially since the case was less than three months apart, which made him even more puzzled.

"Does he have someone backing him?"

After much deliberation, Feng Ji finally looked up at Sun Qiao, his brows furrowed.

"No, no one. He has no teaching resources behind him. He might have some connections in the local area, but definitely no connections in the province."

Sun Qiao shook his head and said.

They have close ties with the provincial government, so if the other party really had it, they couldn't possibly be unaware of it.

If that's the case, then the fact that this person is so young and still made it to the finals can only mean...

"He got into the finals based on his own abilities," Sun Qiao said.

Personal ability!?

Upon hearing this, Feng Ji paused, then narrowed his eyes.

"Personal ability...."

He murmured to himself, as if he hadn't heard the word in a long time.

Law firms have developed to this point, with countless resources at their core. To be honest, individual ability is still necessary, but not as crucial as it used to be. For example...

One of their two cases this year, one of which was a "crackdown on organized crime" led by the Thanh Go province, was very successful and is almost certain to be selected as a classic case to set an example for police officers throughout the province.

This type of case was assigned to Blue Flower Law Firm.

Is personal ability required?

No need.

Does it require some kind of explosive performance?

It doesn't need to be handled by a top-tier lawyer, or even by a senior lawyer. It's guaranteed to be selected as a classic case! Something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.

They get it without having to give anything in return!

This is why Lantau Province ranks among the top in the country!

Feng Ji asked, "How many spots are available this year?"

"Five," Sun Qiao said.

Feng Ji frowned.

He thought for a moment, then asked:

"What about those two cases?"

He was referring to Xu De's two cases.

Information about the case is spreading very slowly right now. Feng Ji hadn't even heard of it before, so he left the information gathering entirely to his subordinates.

Fortunately, Sun Qiao was dutiful. After a moment's consideration, he frowned and said seriously:

"This case is very valuable!"

"The score is ridiculously high. To be shortlisted based on personal ability, Director, you should know what kind of monster this is."

It's been years since Blue Flower made it to the finals based solely on individual ability.

Ability can only be indirectly proven by difficulties.

for example.

If you get a perfect score on an elementary school math test, does that prove you're very capable?

No.

But if you were to participate in the International Mathematical Olympiad and get a perfect score, no one would say you lack ability!

vice versa.

The fact that Xu Deneng was selected based on his abilities proves that the cases he handled were complex and extremely difficult.

"Both cases can be evaluated?" Feng Ji frowned and asked again.

"Anything is possible...very likely."

Sun Qiao didn't make his statement completely.

The words were spoken.

Feng Ji fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he finally spoke:

"How many people are in his law firm? What are their backgrounds?"

Sun Qiao responded, "One senior lawyer and several ordinary practicing lawyers."

"That Lin Yue is a bit difficult to deal with; her father is Lin Guodong... However, Lin Guodong doesn't usually show excessive favoritism towards his children; he abstained from voting this time." Lin Guodong?

That idealist? If the other party is willing to target him, he can be quite troublesome. Fortunately, he is an idealist and will be confined by the framework.

In that case...

In a daze.

"Can I swallow it?"

Feng Ji suddenly uttered a startling statement, his abrupt words like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to bite you if you're not careful!

There is no assessment at present.

Sun Qiao shook his head.

He understood what the other person meant.

It's nothing more than swallowing up the other law firm.

Once they acquire it, Houde Law Firm will become part of their operations, and Xu De will also become one of their people.

An extremely capable opponent?

No.

It should be transformed into a sharp and useful sword in one's own hands!

"When will he arrive in Wutong City?" Feng Ji suddenly asked again.

"Probably tomorrow...or the day after?"

Sun Qiao spoke, then her heart stirred, and she understood what the other party meant, so she tentatively asked.

"dinner?"

When treating someone to a meal, try offering them something in return.

If the conversion is successful, Feng Ji might even support the other party in the selection of exemplary cases.

Why?

Because once the conversion is successful, these two cases will not belong to anyone else, but to Lan Hua!

Houde only needs to say that the case was achieved under the "guidance" of the professional team at Lanhua Law Firm, and Lanhua Law Firm's influence will be further expanded.

It's even possible that, through Houde Law Firm, they could extend their reach to Lusen City!

So, I want to accomplish these things.

The first theoretical step should be to treat people to a meal, and then discuss and negotiate.

But this is under the condition that both sides are equal.

The gap between them is too large. It's not uncommon for some law firms to directly steal credit for cases from you.

In one case, a small law firm spent over two years gathering crucial evidence to help its client win the case, only to have a large law firm casually offer "our guidance," and the media frenzy made all the small firm's efforts futile.

Blue flowers symbolize profound virtue.

The two law firms are completely different in size.

and so.

Feng Jixuan...

"Decapitate him first!"

Feng Ji spoke up.

"Decapitate first?"

Sun Qiao was surprised and suspicious.

"Behead them first."

Feng Ji nodded, "Only if you cut off his head will he be more likely to listen to Lan Hua's words when he invites guests."

"Only in this way... can we take him in and make him our dog!"

Is it a dinner invitation for a beheading? Or a dinner invitation for a dog to be captured?

What he wants...

First behead him, then treat him to a meal to accept the headless dog!

Sun Qiao instantly understood. After a moment's thought, he came up with a solution.

"it is good."

The words were spoken.

Feng Ji nodded, signaling the other party to do it, and Sun Qiao decisively left.

He put down the information about the case selection and continued to handle official business.

Feng Ji didn't care about Xu De. The other party might be capable, but with the erosion of resources, even the strongest ability would be useless.

The power to rate is in their hands!

If the skill gap between the two sides wasn't significant, Blue Flower wouldn't have done this, but the gap is...

Let me put it this way.

Houde Law Firm, currently located in Lusen City, has a long way to go compared to Director Han's Jinmao Law Firm. If an irreconcilable conflict were to break out, Xu De would be overwhelmed and unable to salvage the situation, and would almost be suppressed.

And Jinmao.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you could easily crush Feng Ji's Blue Flower Law Firm with a couple of stomps.

This is the true value of ranking 13th in the country!

You should know that if you remove those eight top-tier red-circle law firms... Blue Flower is among the top five in the country!

Its resources...

It had already been accumulated.

Feng Ji lowered his head, approving one contract after another for the law firm. In the office, only the rustling sound of writing could be heard.

1 month 18 day.

It's 8 a.m.

Inside Baiyun Temple.

"Bang bang~!"

"Get up, get up! The official bus has arrived. If you don't get up, I'll call Wang Chao to break into your bedroom!" Early in the morning.

Lin Yue, dressed neatly and full of energy, stood at the door of Xu De's bedroom and knocked.

a long time.

The door in front of them creaked open.

Looking at the person at the door who was clearly petite but seemed to have inexhaustible strength, Xu De sighed again, feeling that his decision to join Baiyun Temple was not a good one.

"You're awake, I'm going to change my clothes."

Xu De closed the door.

Not long after, he reappeared at the door, dressed in a suit and tie.

Without eating breakfast, she simply washed up and cleaned herself before being led by Lin Yue towards the entrance of Baiyun Temple.

Upon reaching the entrance, Xu De discovered that more than ten people had gathered at the main gate.

There was Secretary Shi, Yang Guodong and the director of the Justice Bureau, and even people from the court and the procuratorate.

At this moment, people were gathered around a gold minibus, smiling and talking to each other.

We already exchanged pleasantries last night.

So I didn't waste much time this morning.

Before long, Secretary Shi shoved everyone into the car, and then...

"Buzz~!"

The minibus slowly started moving and drove away into the distance.

Everyone looked at the car, let out a deep breath, and showed a hint of emotion on their faces.

Inside the stone pavilion.

Lin Guodong withdrew his gaze, looked at the abbot of Guanxin Temple to the side, and frowned.

"The implementation of dormant clauses..."

He said in a deep voice:

"Will it work?"

P.S.: One more chapter, will be posted around 1 PM.
