Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Can they afford the consequences of influencing the entire judicial direction of Qingwu Province due to personal gain?

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face showed shock, and she looked at the other person in disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

She understood what the other person meant.

It's nothing more than flipping the table and bringing this matter to the forefront.

Some things are as light as a feather when you don't weigh them, but some things weigh a ton!

"Blue Flower Law Firm left us no way out."

Xu De shook his head and began to analyze the current situation in detail.

"Law firms want to move up, both now and in the future."

"Acquiring classic case studies is essential; without them, it's impossible to become a top law firm!"

The law firm wants to grow and expand.

Besides attracting top lawyers and having a sufficient source of cases, these kinds of prestigious titles are also essential, amounting to political resources. Especially acquiring classic criminal cases!

But it's obvious.

Every lawyer in Qingwu Province has a Blue Flower Law Firm sitting on their head.

Once you reach a certain level, the other party may shatter you and then absorb you.

"If we don't get cases now, we'll be even less likely to get them in the future."

Xu De spoke again, "Lanhua is very arrogant... perhaps she's used to being domineering. In any case, if we refuse to be converted this time, even if there are other cases for evaluation in the future, it's hard to say that they won't secretly trip us up."

Upon hearing this...

Lin Yue opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a sound.

A major player in an industry can only expand in two ways: by transforming or by crushing competitors.

In later generations, such as some dictionary creators and game creators, it was the same: either they had to honestly accept money and be absorbed, or the other party would crush them directly after realizing that they had no cooperative attitude.

There is no third option.

Feng Ji will not forgive Xu De for not cooperating and withdrawing from the review process.

On the contrary, they will be very dissatisfied.

"This is the arrogance of those in high positions."

As Xu De spun the bank card in his hand, his fingerprints gliding smoothly across the surface, he suddenly became calm.

Is it the arrogance of those in high positions...?

Lin Yue kept savoring those words in her mind. After a long while, she took a deep breath and asked:

"so."

"you mean."

"A single punch can ward off a hundred more."

Xu De suddenly clenched his fist and gripped the bank card tightly in his hand.

Whether Houde can have a future path to advancement depends on whether it can make Lanhua Law Firm feel the pain and be wary of it.

talking.

He suddenly paused, pondered for a moment, and then looked up at Lin Yue.

"Where are Prosecutor Huang and Judge Zhang?"

"This matter shouldn't involve them. I'll go and explain it to them."

An event once occurred in history.

A man sent to negotiate with the enemy was suddenly betrayed by his family during the negotiations. His family generals launched a surprise attack while the enemy was negotiating, and entered the enemy's territory as if it were empty.

Therefore, the person in charge of the negotiations was nearly killed by the other party, and only managed to escape by sacrificing the lives of his immediate family members.

What followed was a feud between him and the general, a feud he felt he could kill for life.

at the moment.

Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin were the ones responsible for the negotiations.

"Still at the reception center."

Lin Yue spoke up.

"it is good."

Xu De nodded. "Go to the reception center and find them."

The words were spoken.

The two slowly got up, took a deep breath, returned to their room, and then got dressed.

Xu De simply threw on a down jacket.

Lin Yue was a little afraid of the cold, so she wrapped herself up like a penguin. She had a brown scarf around her neck, a white handmade knitted hat on her head, and a white trench coat on her body.

It looks like she's wrapped herself in a blanket... a portable blanket.

It also looks like a penguin.

After getting dressed, Xu De saw her in the living room and immediately stopped, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Lin Yue, however, held her head high and looked at him with displeasure.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing, it's just that... I really admire Zhenjun's style of dressing."

Xu De withdrew his gaze, said something casually, and then walked outside.

Lin Yue snorted and then followed with small, quick steps.

"Squeak~"

As soon as we left the hotel.

The biting wind lashed at my face, instantly chilling my skin, and the cold seeped into my back through the gaps in my clothes.

Outside the hotel.

Snow was falling at that moment, and the gray snowflakes landed on the ground, accumulating into a thin layer.

The passersby moved silently, their footsteps swiftly pausing on the pristine white ground, leaving streaks of black footprints like drops of ink on paper. A gust of cold wind blew, and a few snowflakes clung to Xu De's eyelashes.

"Phew~"

Xu De exhaled a breath of stale air, and white steam appeared visibly before his eyes. He said:

"It's snowing."

Lin Yue nodded to one side, her voice muffled as she spoke from her neckerchief hidden in her scarf:

"It's normal for it to snow in mid-January."

Xu De nodded.

In a daze, he recalled the two children scavenging in Green Forest City.

Winter is the harshest season for the homeless. In 2003, the system was not yet fully developed, and every winter there were cases of people freezing to death before they could receive official relief.

Just as she was thinking this.

Lin Yue suddenly poked his waist.

Xu De snapped out of his daze and looked at her suspiciously. "Hmm?"

Are you cold?

Lin Yue struggled to lift her head, as if her clothes were weighing her down, and she was doing weight training with difficulty. His voice came through her scarf.

"It's cold." Xu De nodded.

To be honest, he's been used to this temperature since he was a child.

"Give."

Lin Yue tugged at her several-meter-long scarf, untied it a few times herself, and then handed the other end to the other person. She tied the left end and gestured for the other person to tie the right end as well.

Xu De, holding the scarf, looked at the other person again and smiled:

"This is not safe."

"But it's warm!" Lin Yue said.

"Never mind, safety first."

Xu De shook his head and wrapped the scarf around the other person's neck.

Lin Yue didn't mind, and untied one of her white fleece-lined gloves, handing it to the other person.

"This is safe."

"Um."

Xu De nodded, took the gloves, and immediately put his hand on them.

Lin Yue put on the gloves for more than ten minutes, and they were already warm inside. Putting them on felt like crawling into a warm quilt. The fleece lining inside pressed against her skin, and she could clearly feel its softness.

"Let's go."

Xu De spoke first.

then.

The two then got up and went outside.

In the snow.

In the snow-covered city of Wutong, two footprints stretched outwards from the hotel as the two walked casually. (Official reception area.)

Around 10:30 a.m.

"Phew~"

Xu De felt the cold, exhaled a breath of warm air, walked into the reception area, and pushed open the door.

The reception area has heating, but you can only enter by opening the door.

Feeling enveloped in warmth, Xu De couldn't help but relax. Lin Yue was also putting on a super outfit, taking off all the layers of clothes she was wearing.

He walked forward.

"Hello, I'm looking for Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin in Lvsen City."

Upon hearing this, he nodded, then asked a few more questions, before taking the landline and dialing several room numbers.

Not long after.

At the elevator.

Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin appeared, and the two walked briskly toward Xu De, their faces showing confusion.

"What is it?"

"Just so you know, we're not having any case reviews today, so you don't need to attend the meeting... Of course, you can go if you wish."

Upon hearing this...

Xu De remained expressionless, pointed to the waiting room on one side, and said, "Let's talk in the waiting room."

Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin paused.

They immediately glanced at each other simultaneously.

Their intuition told them... that the other party's attitude meant they were up to no good.

The two became wary, but still followed the other person toward the waiting room.

Before long, the four of them sat on the sofa. Huang Shi Zhang Bingxin frowned and looked at Xu De with a puzzled expression.

"What on earth happened?"

Xu De didn't speak. He simply reached out and slipped his hand inside his clothes, pinching the smooth card between his fingers before pulling it out and tossing it onto the table.

"Snapped!"

The plastic card fell onto the table with a crisp sound.

The two looked down and their brows furrowed even deeper.

This is... a bank card!?

"What do you mean?"

Huang Shi looked up at Xu De, his eyes full of confusion.

"It was given to me by someone from the Blue Flower Law Firm an hour ago."

Xu De spoke succinctly, looking at the two people in front of him.

Blue Flower Law Firm...given by Blue Flower Law Firm!?

"Wait, why would they give you their bank card if they had nothing better to do?"

Zhang Bingxin frowned, realizing something was wrong, and looked up at Xu De in front of him.

"Bribe me."

Xu De said calmly.

Bribery?

Huang Shi paused, then a look of surprise crossed his face, followed by a sudden realization. He frowned and said:

"so."

Is the "Case No. 18" related to the Blue Flower Law Firm?

"That bar association president is one of Lan Hua's people? Damn it, I knew there was a reason why Case No. 18 inexplicably failed to be selected!"

Huang Shi lowered his voice.

He was a smart man and immediately understood what Xu De meant.

Feng Ji's move was clearly a combination of hitting someone and then giving them a sweet treat.

Unfortunately, this blow accidentally injured Huang Shi as well...

You see, for people like him, whether or not they have handled a classic case is something they can boast about for a lifetime. In addition, it is extremely useful in their career!

What was supposed to be a done deal was ruined by the other party. Anyone would be upset about that.

only.

"You took the money?"

On one side, Zhang Bingxin suddenly frowned and spoke, his gaze intentionally or unintentionally falling on the bank cards on the table.

Xu De began, "It's just for gathering evidence."

The hotel lobby is a public space, with front-line staff around and even surveillance cameras in the corners.

There was no privacy there; the entire process of Sun Jianshan giving out the bank card was clearly visible, even... his lip movements could be read perfectly! But then a problem arose.

"What are you going to do with the evidence?"

Zhang Bingxin was stunned. He realized something was wrong, crossed his arms in a defensive stance, and looked at him warily.

Evidence serves only one purpose.

That's the burden of proof!

But then a problem arises.

The opposing party needs to provide evidence... How should they provide it? Or rather, to whom should they provide evidence?

"Evidence collection..."

Xu De paused for a moment, then revealed his purpose without any hesitation.

"Naturally, it's the burden of proof to protect one's own interests!"

"On January 23rd, which is tomorrow, the selection process for the Lijiacun case will begin. If necessary... I will try to launch a counterattack against Feng Ji during the selection process."

A counterattack during the selection process!?

Almost simultaneously.

"No!"

Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin immediately spoke up to stop them, their brows furrowed, and they said seriously:

"You've... broken the rules."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Bingxin shook his head and said, "There are many people here. Wutong City is the provincial capital, and Feng Ji is the president of the Provincial Lawyers Association. In particular, the review meeting is the most authoritative system in the entire province."

"Presenting evidence during the review process...you are challenging the judiciary."

Officials need to possess authority.

This kind of provocative behavior...

It is highly likely to cause displeasure.

I'll just mention four...

You publicly provoke them... What do you think will happen?

"How about another way?"

After pondering for a moment, Huang Shi couldn't help but speak:

"For example, reporting it privately?"

Huangshi was very angry.

He's actually been angry ever since he came back on the afternoon of the 20th.

At the review meeting, he clearly did his best to present the case in its entirety, and even the judges were very satisfied.

But unfortunately... it was all ruined by Feng Ji's meddling.

If we were to say which of the three people hates Feng Ji the most, it would definitely be Huang Shi!

Although he hated, he was still rational and did not have the extreme idea of ​​wanting revenge without considering anything else.

"Reporting against it is useless."

Xu De shook his head.

"I dare say this matter does not violate any criminal law."

In fact, this kind of thing happens in every province.

There are two reasons why it has not been corrected: first, it does not involve criminal law, and second, such subjective judgments and personal interpretations can obviously fool judicial inspections.

Second, the other party doesn't need to communicate at all!

That's right.

The Bar Association and those professors only need to be mindful of Feng Ji's mood.

If the opposing review committee says no, they vote no; if the opposing committee says yes, they vote together.

What about pre-meeting communication?

It's unnecessary; pre-meeting communication is just a waste of time and could create leverage against you.

so.

"These things have to be brought up openly..."

Xu De spoke slowly.

Only when you have evidence should you expose it in front of everyone and overturn the table where the other party is playing cards.

Only in this way can you defeat your opponent.

It even has to be in places where important figures are present!

If it's a small-scale event in a certain area, you would describe it...

This isn't about flipping the table; it's purely "private discussion," "speculation," and "suspicion."

Even if something goes wrong, given his relatively low rank, Feng Ji can use his connections to suppress the matter.

so..

"Right now, only the reviewers are qualified to do this."

Xu De spoke slowly.

The two people in front of him became increasingly hesitant, clearly having reservations.

There is indeed something to consider.

Zhang Bingxin is over fifty years old, and the other party may take things further.

Huang Shi reached this level at only 35 years old. With this shortlisted opportunity, he might be promoted from deputy to full-fledged position in 03. At that point, further advancement would be a certainty!

At this point, you'll offend everyone to death.

Without even thinking about it, I knew this was a mediocre move.

However...

"Don't worry."

Xu De crossed his arms, looked at the two people in front of him, and suddenly began to speak:

"This matter..."

"It is actually unrelated to the judicial system."
