Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"What about that case!?"

Yan Fei put her hands on her hips, facing the two of them, her face gradually contorting with rage.

Zhou Ning paused, took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said:

"Ms. Yan, please...please calm down. We will take care of the case."

"With the court hearing approaching, please confirm your own demands first."

Currently, the trial is scheduled to begin in six days.

At this point, both sides have basically exhausted all means and have reached the final stage of organizing and preparing for the court hearing.

at the same time..

This is also the best time to negotiate!

"Do you want criminal prosecution or civil compensation?" Fan He asked from the side.

As they were talking.

His face was full of confidence, clearly showing that he did not take Xu De and the others seriously, as if he could do whatever Yan Fei asked.

that's the truth.

The difference between a lawyer from a small town and a seasoned lawyer in Haicheng is like night and day!

"Can't we have both?"

Yan Fei looked puzzled and frowned.

talking.

Overwhelmed with pain, she turned to look at Liu Guofu lying on the bed and said angrily:

"That vixen stabbed my child 17 times, does she think she can just pay some money and be done with it?!"

Losing money?

"Ms. Yan, I'd like to let you know in advance."

Fan He began by saying:

"Zhang Da... has no money."

"Well, there are no family members or guardians, so it will be very difficult for you to claim compensation."

No family members? No guardian?

This means Zhang Da has no money!

Since the person is already an adult, the other party is required to pay compensation... This is where the problem lies.

Even if the court enforces the judgment and prepares to use personal assets to compensate for the loss, it is still not acceptable.

Zhang Da has absolutely no personal property!

but. .

"We can file a complaint and ask the Civil Affairs Bureau for compensation."

Fan He said, "The Civil Affairs Bureau is at serious fault. We can sue them on the grounds that they failed to make proper arrangements for the defendant in advance, which led to the subsequent case."

In other words...

At most, the Civil Affairs Bureau will give the money, not Zhang Da.

this.

Yan Fei hesitated, a look of uncertainty on her face, unsure of what to say.

Zhang Da has no money, so pursuing accountability and sentencing him would be pointless.

If you want money, you can only go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, to the government, but that's where the problem arises...

Does Yan Fei want money?

Yes, and no.

She's greedy for money and wants Zhang Da to pay an economic price, but if the Civil Affairs Bureau is to compensate him, then that so-called price is a joke... "What about criminal prosecution!?"

Yan Fei said unwillingly, her expression alert. She looked at Fan He and said:

"I don't want the money anymore, I just want her dead!"

As she spoke, she said again, her voice filled with sorrow:

"Seventeen cuts! A full seventeen cuts!"

"How painful would it be to be stabbed like that...? Isn't this clearly an attempt to kill someone?!"

"I'll make her pay!!!"

"Death penalty...it must be the death penalty! She's not mentally ill, unlike my child. It's clearly intentional. She must be executed!!!" Death penalty...

The other party wants to pursue criminal charges and have Zhang Da sentenced to death!?

After saying that,

Fan He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't react too strongly and instead said:

"Currently, the death penalty is possible, but the probability is low."

The probability is low?

Yan Fei was stunned for a moment, and the next second, a sharp voice rang out in the intensive care unit.

"My child was stabbed 17 times. Isn't this blatant murder?!"

"Why can't we have the death penalty?!"

Fan He pointed to Liu Guofu, who was lying on the bed talking in his sleep, and said:

"Because Mr. Liu didn't really die."

He didn't really die.

But in reality, it would have been better to be dead.

Liu Guofu didn't wake up after recovering.

He was awakened by the excruciating pain!

It was as if he had been thrown into a pot of boiling oil, which repeatedly fried and boiled him, making him feel like he was being tortured! But in the end...

He is not dead.

Regardless of the patient's condition—whether they're living in agony or in a vegetative state—legally, this isn't a murder case! Although a death sentence would be normal for this level of injury, it's just…

"Most importantly... Mr. Liu... will also face criminal charges."

"Ms. Yan, don't forget that Mr. Liu committed the same crime in Green Forest City, and it was even more serious."

Zhou Ning, standing to one side, offered a tactful reminder.

Yan Fei was stunned. "What do you mean?"

"Literal meaning."

Zhou Ning said, "In the case of attempted rape, intentional injury, and attempted murder against Zhang Er in Lusen City, Liu Guofu is the defendant, and Zhang Er is the plaintiff!"

in other words.

In Fan He's case, Zhang Da could be held accountable.

but. ..

same.

In the case of Zhang Er in Lusen City, Zhang Er can also hold Liu Guofu accountable!

It's even said that Liu Guofu woke up after only one month in a coma.

As for Zhang Er, it has been almost three months now, and he is still in a coma. Regarding his life-threatening condition and the relative severity of the threats... need I say more?

and.

"The other party has recorded the conversation, so we can no longer influence the judge's decision."

Zhou Ning combined the two cases for analysis, explaining them very clearly, so much so that even Yan Fei, who was unreasonable, could understand.

"If the other party wants to pursue legal action... then it will be very difficult for us to handle this case; our room for defense is extremely small."

Without the mental illness charge, Liu Guofu's actions would be blatant acts of intentional injury, attempted murder, and attempted rape.

The other party even has a criminal record!

He committed two crimes in a row, and another one while awaiting trial, for a total of three attempted rapes.

What will the judge sentence him to? Will he give him a few years, throw him out of prison, and then let him rape again?

All I can say is that it's incredibly lucky they weren't sentenced to death!

"Our Guofu has a mental illness!"

Yan Fei immediately exploded and blurted out:

"He just had a medical episode, how can a medical episode warrant a serious crime!?"

Fan He shook his head. "The current evidence leans towards the conclusion that Mr. Liu was conscious during the crime."

talking.

He stopped talking and then brought up the case in Chengdu.

"We are not in a good position to handle the case filed by Green Forest City against Mr. Liu."

"But the same."

"The other side is also finding this difficult to handle; this case in Chengdu, where the defendant was charged with attempted murder!"

Liu Guofu did indeed attempt to assault the other party on the eve of the incident, but the rape attempt failed.

Among rights, when women are violated, the level of self-defense is the highest, and they can even invoke the "unlimited right of self-defense"!

But don't forget.

The important point about the unlimited right to self-defense is not just the "unlimited" part, but also the "self-defense" part.

in other words.

This law means that within the reasonable limits of "self-defense," your rights are unlimited.

for example.

Self-defense is a turn-based system. Generally, if someone attacks you with 50% of their strength, you can only retaliate with 40% of your strength. If the opponent attacks again, then you can retaliate.

If the other party stops fighting, then you must stop fighting too.

Therefore, this constitutes legitimate self-defense.

However, at this point, his aggression constitutes your "unlimited right of self-defense," for example, if he uses 50% of his strength to rape you.

Then you won't have to retaliate with 40% less power than your opponent.

It's all-out effort!

At this point, the infringement has not yet ended, and in self-defense, you can disregard "equality" and have unlimited self-defense rights!

but. ..

"When the threat disappears and no longer constitutes self-defense, there will naturally be no so-called 'unlimited rights'."

"If you stab someone three times in the face of an attack, causing the attacker to lie on the ground dead, that is legitimate self-defense."

"But if, after three stabs, the threat is eliminated, and then another 147 stabs are delivered..."

As Fan He spoke, he paused, his tone remarkably certain.

"This is not self-defense."

"This is intentional homicide!"

It can be simply understood as...

The so-called "unlimited power" means that you can retaliate with greater force than the other party, regardless of the extent of their infringement.

such as.

If someone beats you but it doesn't endanger your life, then you can't endanger their life in self-defense either.

but..

Rape is different.

Simple rape won't endanger your life, but you can use the force that would kill the other person to defend yourself.

In summary.

Unlimited right to self-defense ≠ unlimited right to hunt down!

"The prosecutor's office will, at the very least, bring a charge of 'attempted murder' in 99% of cases."

"177 dollars... The defendant can't defend it, nor can they explain it!"

Fan He spoke up, directly handing the choice to Yan Fei.

"We can exchange this case for the peace of Mr. Liu's case in Lusen City."

In other words...

Taking the Chengdu case as an example, they abandoned their bargaining chip of pursuing accountability.

In exchange, would Zhang Er also give up pursuing Liu Guofu's accountability?

"But my Guofu has already been tortured!"

Yan Fei was very dissatisfied, and he angrily pointed at Liu Guofu lying on the bed.

"He's been stabbed 17 times because of what happened in Green Forest City!!"

"They've already been tortured, why should they be punished again?!"

The same thing is punished twice?

Yan Fei thought this whole thing was utterly ridiculous!

"No, this is not torture. Even if he is still hanging on by a thread, all private punishments are called 'harm' before the official trial."

Fan He shook his head.

"That's why the defendant was arrested."

Seeking revenge privately is also punishable by law.

Then the world wouldn't need courts and prisons.

"This...this..."

Yan Fei racked her brains, looking at Liu Guofu groaning on the bed, her face full of struggle.

She wanted money, she wanted to pursue criminal charges, and she wanted Liu Guofu to stay out of jail.

She wants all three!

but. .

Clearly, reality will never satisfy such greedy demands.

"I can only choose one?" Yan Fei asked unwillingly.

Fan He nodded.

If Liu Guofu's attempted rape of Zhang Da hadn't been recorded, then he and Zhou Ning would have had a thousand ways to get all three of their demands.

Unfortunately, Liu Guofu "died from talking too much"!

"You can only choose one!" Fan He emphasized.

Yan Fei remained silent.

If monetary compensation is pursued, then both criminal charges and Liu Guofu's case will be abandoned, and the compensation will ultimately go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Choose criminal?

If Zhang Da is sentenced severely, Zhang Er, once he regains his senses, will immediately sue Liu Guofu for attempted murder.

This socially unstable individual, who has committed three consecutive rapes, will most likely face a suspended death sentence, or even the death penalty!

Should we choose Liu Guofu?

"I want my son!"

Yan Fei gritted her teeth and insisted, "But I need money too!"

"This bastard hospital costs several hundred dollars a day. I want them to pay for all the medical expenses and compensation for emotional distress!!"

Yan Fei is wealthy, and her husband is even currently working away from home to earn money.

But you can't spend money like that!

It costs an average person a month's salary in one day, not even including subsequent complications, medication, finding an organ transplant, rehabilitation training, etc. She can only claim a small amount of compensation.

But medical expenses must be reimbursed!

Yan Fei felt that this was already giving the other party enough face; otherwise, she would have demanded an exorbitant compensation, ensuring the other party could never recover! "Okay."

Fan He nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

Then, he turned to look at Zhou Ning on the side.

"Should you go or should I go?"

Zhou Ning remained silent for a moment, then finally said with a grim expression, "Go ahead, I don't want to see that lawyer's face!"

He feels nauseous just thinking about Xu De.

First, I was scolded three times in a row when we met.

Then, the client was stabbed, making it impossible to hold a trial. This case, which was supposed to end in two months, will now take him at least two years!

Two years! As Haicheng's top lawyer, I'm going to waste two years on this case. How much money will I lose?!

at last..

They even discovered that they couldn't win the case!

Two years wasted, taking on a case they couldn't win, and even being verbally abused by the other party... Zhou Ning had never suffered such humiliation in his life! Fan He, however, didn't seem to care. He looked at the other man, his tone relaxed, and smiled:

"Is Attorney Zhou really going to go that far?"

"Just a lawyer from a small town."

Zhou Ning snorted coldly and didn't say anything.

"You can go and communicate with them. Anyway, the other party is at West China Hospital, it's just a short walk away."

The words were spoken.

Zhou Ning refused to communicate directly, clearly not giving the other party a chance to mock him.

but..

Just before Fan He turned around, preparing to open the door and leave.

Zhou Ning suddenly spoke:

"By the way, be careful."

"This lawyer, actually..."

Zhou Ning hesitated, organizing his thoughts, before finally speaking tactfully:

"It's a bit eerie."

Evil...

There are plenty of eccentric lawyers out there, especially in Haicheng, an elite city where you can't survive without being eccentric.

Fan He waved his hand dismissively.

"You stay here and talk to the client, I'll be right back."

The words were spoken.

"Squeak~"

The door to the ward was pushed open, and Fan He left.

He walked towards the other side of the hospital building.

As for inside the ward...

"It hurts so much..."

"It hurts so much! Give me anesthesia... give me painkillers..."

Liu Guofu lay on the bed, wailing and howling in agony.

Countless tubes were inserted into his body, and even when he opened his mouth, these tubes would churn inside him, causing him increasing pain with each word, yet the more he hurt, the more he spoke. Yan Fei was extremely anxious, so he called for a nurse.

Unfortunately, the nurse said that since she had just regained consciousness, she could not take any medication, and she could not touch any sedative drugs.

Now.

Liu Guofu felt like a fish stuck on a hot plate, enduring unbearable torment.

Zhou Ning looked at Yan Fei and shook his head.

He knew that, although the discussion had gone well just now...

But given the other party's personality, Xu De might not agree.

The other party immediately sought to hold them accountable, taking a high ground and being aggressive, using the sharpest possible tone.

Thinking of this.

The images of Xu De and Fan He flashed through Zhou Ning's mind.

"Tsk."

"Hopefully, Attorney Fan can reach a cooperation agreement with the other party before the court hearing."

Zhou Ning sighed deeply.

at the same time.

West China Hospital, a single intensive care unit.

"Knock knock knock~"

A knock came at the door.

"Who is it?" a voice came from inside the house.

"it's me."

"I am Fan He, the civil prosecution attorney representing the public prosecutor's office."
