Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Run! Run! Run!"

Zhang Da and Zhang Er ran away from the entrance of Baiyun Temple. After running for an unknown amount of time, they began to gasp for breath. The cool air entered their lungs through their respiratory tracts, making their throats itch.

"Ahem!"

After a long while, the two recovered.

"I haven't seen Xu De. Has he moved again?"

Zhang Da was deep in thought, while Zhang Er stood to the side.

The other person's face turned deathly pale. After coughing for a while, they weakly said:

"I'm hungry..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Da turned to look at him and offered words of comfort:

"I'll just have some hot water when I get home. It's almost Chinese New Year, so there's plenty of food to eat. I won't go hungry."

Zhang Er nodded. "Oh."

As they were talking.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound rang out.

They looked up and saw several children, even younger than themselves, having a snowball fight in the distance. They played happily, their faces full of smiles, while their parents watched with loving eyes.

The two men, dressed in shabby clothes, stood silently watching from a corner.

a long time.

Zhang Da tugged at Zhang Er and walked away into the distance.

"Stop looking."

"Let's find a place to gather some firewood and boil some water to fill our stomachs."

"Xu De sent us clothes, so we won't freeze to death this year even with the snow."

"oh oh."

The snow covered a wide area.

The entire Qingwu province was covered, and before long, the snow was so thick that it swallowed people's ankles.

1 month 22 day.

With the Spring Festival approaching and only a few days left until Lunar New Year's Eve, everyone's morale is gradually rising, hoping to do a good job on the last shift before the New Year and take home a bonus.

of course.

The heavy snow also made travel inconvenient.

in the hotel.

Xu De silently watched the snowflakes falling from the sky, quietly waiting for time to pass.

Inside the reception center.

Huang Shi and Zhang Bingxin smoked one cigarette after another, feeling an unprecedented amount of pressure.

Time does not stand still.

The sky gradually turned from overcast to dark.

1 month 23 day.

Six o'clock in the morning.

As the staff from all over the province gradually woke up, they ate breakfast together, preparing to attend today's review meeting.

The 23rd was the last day of the provincial selection process.

This is also the last time to finish processing all the cases!

Those who had finished their defense of their cases breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who did not respond, knowing they could not escape today, walked towards the provincial government with trepidation.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Xu De and Lin Yue walked out of the hotel and headed towards the administration building.

Before leaving, Xu De used his status as a guest to retrieve a copy of the hotel's surveillance footage from multiple angles.

At the same time, he checked the "evidence" on his body several times to make sure it was correct before leaving with the others.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Blue Flower Law Firm.

"Director, everything has been taken care of."

As Feng Ji walked out of his office and entered the lobby, Sun Qiao approached him from the side and whispered something to him.

Is everything settled?

Sun Qiao didn't know if it had been done properly, but the response from below was that it had been done.

However, Sun Qiao felt there was a trap inside.

First of all, time. Time flew by too quickly. In just a day and a half, they were able to discuss such an important matter.

After all, he suspected that the person handling the matter might not have been personally arranged by him, and that the task had likely been outsourced and transferred more times than he had imagined. But it's alright.

In the workplace, you can be incompetent.

But you can't tell the truth with your eyes wide open. As long as you pretend you don't know, then this never happened, and you won't have to take the blame if something goes wrong! Feng Ji paused, then nodded, "Mm."

"Are the follow-up promotional materials ready?"

"Ready?" Sun Qiao said again.

"Okay, I'll go to the provincial government building. Keep an eye out for news from the province, collect it when you get back, and then give it to me."

Feng Ji spoke up.

The next second, he lifted his leg and walked outside.

However...

"Squeak~"

When the assistant pushed the door open.

Feng Ji stood at the entrance of the office building, then suddenly stopped. He frowned and looked back at the words "Lanhua Law Firm".

"How did things get done so quickly?"

Feng Ji murmured, not knowing what was going on.

Theoretically, Xu De, who is the type to respond to gentle persuasion but not force, should absolutely refuse!

How come things are progressing so smoothly?

Feng Ji pondered for a while, then shook his head, not worrying much about the matter.

"Heh heh, it's just a matter of persuading them to surrender."

"If it's processed quickly, then it's processed quickly, after all..."

He smiled.

Sun Qiao is a shrewd man in his forties.

With twenty years of experience in the industry, I've done countless rounds of persuasion to surrender, so I'm very experienced...

Even if there really is a scam involved.

Sun Qiao wouldn't have gone so far as to ruin things.

Thinking of this.

Feng Ji, dressed in a suit and tie, straightened his clothes.

He bent down slightly and sat in the van that was temporarily parked by the roadside.

"Buzz~"

10 a.m.

Inside the government building in Lusen City and Wutong City.

Although it is still early, the government has done a good job of cleaning up, and most of the snow from the night before has already been cleared away, creating a striking contrast with the white landscape of the surrounding area.

The unique golden gleam of the national emblem inspires awe.

In front of the building.

Countless people instinctively lowered their heads and silently walked in.

"There's ice on the ground, be careful."

Xu De stood on the steps and whispered a reminder to the three people beside him.

The three nodded.

The steps are slippery; you could easily slip and fall.

Fortunately, none of the four were injured, and they eventually stood in front of the government building.

Xu De looked up at the national emblem hanging high above his head, then lowered his head and stepped into the building.

"Da da da"

Footsteps echoed back and forth in the spacious and clean hall, their sounds lingering in my ears.

The four of them brushed past the provincial government staff and, following their past memories, headed towards the fourth floor.

Soon.

The heavy, rosewood-colored wooden door reappeared before me.

Two policemen stood at the door, their appearances different from the last time they were seen; they had probably changed shifts.

"Hello, this is the Intermediate People's Procuratorate of Lusen City..."

Huang Shi stepped forward, took out his ID, and asked the other party to verify his identity.

After confirming that everything was correct, two policemen, one on each side, opened the door.

"Buzz~!"

The sound of something heavy and solid echoed in my ears, and the rosewood door in front of me opened with a thud.

The scene in the conference room reappeared in the eyes of the four.

The review meeting starts at 10:30.

By this time, the team leaders had already arrived in various cities and districts of Qingwu Province. Hearing the door open, more than ten people turned around to look, then looked away again. "Tsk, even more people than on the first day!"

Looking at the huge crowd in the room, Lin Yue muttered something under her breath.

"normal."

"This is the last day of the judging process. Everyone has to come. We only saw a small portion of them on the first day."

Huang Shi said in a low voice.

The meeting room was packed with people, with no empty seats in sight, but that was to be expected.

There are a large number of people handling a single case.

For example, in the case of Lijiacun, Zhang Bingxin, Hu Guang, Zhang Mang and others were also considered to be the case handlers. Theoretically, they should have come to the province to report their work and participate in the selection conference. There were as many as sixty shortlisted cases!

Even disregarding everything else, just look at the three prosecutors on the public prosecution side. Count how many people there would be in sixty cases.

Not to mention, the number of reviewers is also extremely large.

"Tsk, it's only because it's a provincial capital that they can split up a conference room like this into two courtrooms."

Zhang Bingxin said something in a low voice.

Then, he gestured for the group to find seats.

"Alright, let's find a place to sit down first. There will be even more people later, and the leaders haven't arrived yet."

talking.

Everyone nodded and looked around for seats.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the last few rows, so the group still managed to sit together.

After settling in, Xu De looked up and immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Is there an empty space in front?"

Zhang Bingxin followed the other person's gaze, a hint of hesitation on his face.

The front row of the judging panel, originally occupied by representatives from the public security, procuratorate, judicial, and police systems, was now completely empty, which wasn't unusual. The crucial point was...

There's one more spot!

"I don't know who's in the very center."

Xu De murmured.

Before he could guess further, the main door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

After entering, the other person did not rush to their seat, but stood at the door looking around before finally fixing their gaze on Xu De. Xu De, out of the corner of his eye, also caught sight of the other person.

This person.

"Feng Ji!"

Xu De's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the other person, narrowed his eyes, and then looked away.

Feng Ji chuckled, said nothing, but gave Xu De a meaningful look before taking his seat on the judges' panel.

He wasn't afraid of making mistakes when he entrusted tasks to Sun Qiao.

As the president of the bar association, Feng Ji wielded immense power and had extensive connections. If Xu De truly intended to frame him, Feng Ji had ample means to retaliate. As for Xu De...

"Heh heh, the president of the provincial bar association...?"

Both harbored their own ulterior motives and were utterly disdainful.

Feng Ji has been sitting in this position for who knows how long—maybe ten, maybe twenty, or even thirty years.

The other party dared to treat me this way not because they were stupid.

It's not a habit!

That's right, it's just a habit.

Feng Ji's actions towards No. 18 Middle School were very skillful, and the people in the audience followed suit very skillfully, as if they had rehearsed beforehand.

What does this mean?

This means Xu De is not the first victim!

How many people have suffered because of this over the decades? We don't know, but looking back now...

Whether these people liked it or not, in the end, they did not cause Feng Ji any harm.

The opposing law firm is still thriving, and the chairman's position is secure!

But a problem arises: in all these decades, no one has ever...

They completely overturned the table!

Thinking of this.

Xu De put his thoughts aside and stopped paying attention to the other person.

until..

"The leaders have entered."

In a daze.

Huang Shi spoke up from behind, and everyone looked up.

The main gate suddenly opened, and several figures appeared, none other than...

It turned out to be Lu Guohua, Song Xuejiang, and others from before!

In addition, there were other unfamiliar faces.

"Public security, procuratorate, and court police...and the Department of Justice also sent people, including a department-level official..."

"Hiss, this time the Political and Legal Affairs Commission has taken the lead and brought the entire judicial core of Qingwu Province here."

Huangshi murmured.

Suddenly.

Zhang Bingxin, who was standing to the side, seemed to have seen something. His face immediately showed astonishment, and he blinked in disbelief.

"Wait, isn't there an extra person here?"

"I know, as I just mentioned, the Department of Justice also..." Huang Shi said subconsciously.

"No, look again, look closely at the one in the very center!"

Zhang Bingxin's eyes widened as he stared at the middle-aged man surrounded by a crowd at the very front of the tiered conference room.

Huang Shi and Xu De had a meal together.

Now, the two of them also looked up.

There, Lu Guohua and Song Xuejiang were smiling and talking to a middle-aged man wearing an administrative jacket.

The old man was about 1.75 meters tall, not very tall, thin, with gray hair, and wearing square-framed glasses.

If I had to describe the person as a whole...

It has an inherent scholarly air about it.

Indeed, just one glance is enough to make you think of the other person as a "great scholar." In addition, he is impeccably clean, his hair is neat, and his posture is upright.

It's not just them.

The other people who had been talking earlier, the leaders from the city, stopped talking and stared intently at the person in the back row. This person...

"The Political and Legal Affairs Commission!"

On the side, Lin Yue blurted out, her face showing surprise.

She added again:

"Political and legal officials?"

The moment those five words fell.

Everyone's hearts were instantly filled with turmoil.

Lu Guohua is the deputy secretary, while the other party doesn't have the "deputy" title, so the difference in their titles is minimal.

but. ..

This is the provincial department.

Reaching the position of Party Secretary, the difference between the principal and deputy positions is only half a rank, yet it is an insurmountable chasm!

That is to say...

"Vice-minister?"

Huang Shi was shocked and couldn't help but turn to look at Zhang Bingxin and Xu De on the side.

"No, it's just a review meeting organized by the Political and Legal Affairs Commission. How could someone of this caliber be here?!"

Generally speaking.

For such high-value items, the main hall is the standard; anyone would hardly come up to anything higher, and anything lower wouldn't fit either.

At most, after the review meeting, the documents are compiled into a booklet and then given to the other party to take a look at.

If you look at it twice and think it's okay, then sign it.

But right now...

The other party actually came to the scene in person!

Suddenly.

The person assigned to be in charge of the defense today couldn't help but curse inwardly.

"What's his name?" Xu De hurriedly asked.

"Du Wei," Lin Yue said softly.

Du Wei?

Upon hearing those two words...

Xu De fell silent, his hand in his pocket twirling the smooth bank card.

Silence fell over the meeting room, except for the voices of a few people at the front.

before.

Du Wei glanced around the conference room first, then sat down. He smiled at the people surrounding him and said:

"Alright, it's getting late."

"Let's not waste the rest of our time any longer and let the judging begin."

Upon hearing this...

The people around nodded, still smiling, and gave the host a wink.

on.

The host immediately understood, picked up the microphone, and took a deep breath.

next second.

The clear, booming voice resounded throughout the conference room, yet it did not sound abrupt.

The host said:

"Respected leaders, judges, and comrades:"

Good morning, everyone!

"To further advance the rule of law, summarize and refine outstanding law enforcement and judicial practices, and give full play to the exemplary role of typical cases..." "Today is the seventh day, and also the last day."

"Now, I announce the commencement of the provincial-level selection and review process for classic political and legal cases..."

"Let's begin!"

here we go?

it has started!

The host spoke again:

"Next, we welcome the review of case number 53. This is a civil rights protection case...and the case has attracted considerable public attention..."
