Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

The next day.

November 5th.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

As dawn broke, the chill of autumn transformed into a wind that swept through and howled through the streets.

Xu De walked out of his rented room carrying some leftover food. He wrapped his coat tighter and blended into the street with the passersby. After a short while, he stopped at the entrance of an alley.

In the corner.

A head peeked out from a corner at the alley entrance, and upon seeing the person approaching, it walked over hesitantly.

When he came closer, Xu De extended his hand and said:

"shake hands."

The scavenging child reluctantly extended his hand and shook hands with Xu De.

He was about 1.6 meters tall, with a slender figure. The hand that was placed in Xu De's palm was very withered, with thin, bony fingers that were slightly uncomfortable and covered in dirt.

Xu De then said, "Let's go around in a circle."

The child scavenging for scraps clutched the hem of his clothes, looking embarrassed and reluctant as he spun around.

"It's spinning too slowly, start over." Xu De was very dissatisfied.

The scavenging child stared wide-eyed, somewhat shocked.

It's freezing cold, and taking a quick spin around isn't a pleasant experience... I'm already in such a miserable state, doesn't the other person have any empathy?!

But when he thought about how it was Xu De who said those words, he felt that it made some sense, so he sped up and turned around again.

As he spun around, his thin clothes fluttered, and a cold wind seeped in through the gaps, giving him goosebumps.

"Great!"

Xu De was more satisfied this time and handed over the leftover food.

"Eat."

Wait for the other party to take it.

He didn't continue flirting and turned to walk back towards the law firm.

Watching his retreating figure, the scavenging child hesitated for a moment, then finally whispered, "Thank you."

After saying that, he disappeared into the alleyway like a mouse.

7:30.

Jinmao Law Firm.

"Squeak~"

The law firm's main entrance was pushed open, and Xu De walked to the attendance check-in area as usual.

His colleagues in the lobby were slightly taken aback when they saw him, then immediately stood up and called out to him:

"Attorney Xu, someone came looking for you just now."

Is it Wang Mei and her daughter?

Xu De was somewhat surprised. After clocking in, he looked at his colleague with a puzzled expression.

"She's gone?"

My colleague shook his head. "He hasn't left. He's waiting for you in the reception room. Just go to reception room number 001 and look for him."

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Xu De nodded and walked towards the reception room.

to be frank.

There aren't many people who can find him. If it's not Wang Mei and her daughter... then it's probably Lin Yue, the "True Lord of Longevity".

After all, he had notified the other party to contact him last night.

But it's only 7:30...why would they arrive so early?

Xu De pondered this truthfully until he stood at the main entrance of Reception Room 001 and reached out to push open the closed door.

"Squeak~"

As the door was pushed open slightly.

A man's face squeezed into Xu De's eyes through the crack in the door.

Upon seeing who it was, the man sitting on the sofa inside paused slightly, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"Hello Attorney Xu, it's nice to see you again."

This person is...

Chen Wei!

The lawyer representing Wang Youcai and his wife!

Upon seeing this person, Xu De's heart skipped a beat. Instead of rushing inside, he asked, "..."

"Attorney Chen? What urgent matter do you need me for?"

Chen Wei stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Attorney Xu, the court summons has been issued, and the case will be heard in five days."

"As for why I came to see you this time..."

talking.

Chen Wei paused, picked up his briefcase from the sofa, pulled out a contract, placed it in front of Xu De, and said with a smile:

"That's the main reason."

Xu De shifted his gaze to the contract and paused for a moment.

This contract is somewhat unusual; its title consists of only three words:

[Letter of Understanding.]

In an instant.

Xu De narrowed his eyes.

......

......

Eight o'clock.

"Squeak~"

A tall person wearing a trench coat pushed open the main entrance of the law firm.

"Phew~"

Feeling the warmth of the main hall, she untied her scarf, revealing a face that was expressionless, refined, and aloof. Her bright eyes looked around before she finally asked in a soft voice.

"Excuse me, does Attorney Xu De work here?"

A clear and clean voice rang in my ears.

In the lobby, a lawyer who was still working looked up and saw the other person's appearance, paused for a moment, then came to his senses and asked in confusion:

"What's your name?"

"My name is Lin Yue, and I know Xu De."

As she spoke, Lin Yue exhaled a breath of hot air, and because of the warmth, she shivered and her aloof expression gradually softened.

It was obvious that she wasn't aloof; she was simply stunned by the sudden drop in temperature.

The lawyer said, "Attorney Xu is currently in reception room 001. You can wait a moment."

Reception room?

Lin Yue paused, just about to go to the rest area to wait, but as she turned around, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she thought to herself:

"Judging by the time, the trial should be starting soon. At this hour... could it be that Xu Hong and Wang Mei have arrived?"

Thinking of this.

"Thanks."

Lin Yue thanked them first, and after confirming the direction of the reception room, she started walking towards it.

Wang Qiang's case was urgent and closely related to the custody case she was handling, so it was necessary to give him a few words of advice before the trial.

only......

As she approached reception room number 001, just as she was about to knock on the door...

"Attorney Xu..."

A male voice suddenly came from the reception room and lingered in my ears.

this......

It's not Wang Mei and her daughter.

Lin Yue paused, then tiptoed to leave quietly, but before she could make a move, the sound from inside the house came again.

"Attorney Xu, you should think this through. The court won't proactively mediate between the parties in a criminal homicide case!"

"If you're not prepared to sign this letter of understanding now... then later..."

"It won't be so easy for you to sign again!"

That voice...is it Chen Wei?

Suddenly, Lin Yue recalled the scene she had witnessed in the police station lobby.

There was no time to think.

The next second, Xu De's voice rang out.

"Take care and don't bother seeing me off."

"you!"

Inside the reception room, Chen Wei slammed his hand on the table, glaring angrily, but unable to utter a word.

a long time.

He took a deep breath, looked at Xu De, and said in a grim tone:

"Ungrateful..."

"Then see you in court!"

After saying that.

Without further hesitation, Chen Wei grabbed his briefcase and walked out in a huff.

"Bang!"

The door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open, the door panel grazing a person's face.

Lin Yue, who was eavesdropping outside, was startled. When she came to her senses, she could only see Chen Wei's back, which disappeared in an instant.

"Why did you slam the door like that? You have no manners at all!" she muttered, expressing her protest.

Before she could react...

A voice sounded from behind.

"Have you heard enough?"

Looking back, one could see Xu De leaning against the doorframe, a strange smile on his face.

As he spoke, he reached out and knocked on the glass on the side of the door.

"Bang! Bang!"

The frosted glass windows that served as walls in the reception room made a crisp sound.

Although the window wasn't completely transparent, when he was talking to Chen Wei, anyone who wasn't blind could clearly see a sneaky, blurry figure crouching by the door and pressed against the glass.

"Lord Shunfeng'er, did you hear what was said in the reception room just now? I did not betray the client in private."

Xu De joked.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's fair neck instantly flushed red, the blush spreading to her ears in the blink of an eye.

"What eavesdropping? I didn't eavesdrop! I just... I just... I just stood at the door for a moment and paused!"

"And what the hell is this 'True Lord of the Wind-Following Ears'... I already said that I just made it up on the spot."

Lin Yue avoided eye contact and gave a vague response.

Xu De didn't say anything, but just crossed his arms and looked at her with a mocking gaze, which made her very angry and embarrassed.

After a while, the topic was finally set back on track.

"Was that Chen Wei just now?"

Lin Yue looked back in the direction Chen Wei had disappeared, raised an eyebrow, and said in surprise:

"What does he want from you?"

Xu Dedao said, "He said that the victim's family is now willing to 'forgive' the defendant and came to persuade me to have the client sign a letter of understanding."

Should the victim's family forgive the defendant?

"Forgive them? They don't even deserve to use that word!?"

Lin Yue was first taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, then paused, and then touched her chin. After a moment, her eyes lit up.

"But... you were right!"

Li Youcai is using a letter of understanding to threaten people!

The other party subconsciously realized that Wang Qiang's sentencing would be detrimental to him in every way!

Therefore, they attempted to maximize their leverage before the trial in order to get what they wanted.

All of this...

Exactly the same as what Xu De said back then!

Keep in mind that was 12 days ago!

Predicting the other party's every move, even their psychological reactions, 12 days in advance... is this really something a lawyer can do?!

Not to mention the major case analyzed from the perspective of a "dead end," this ability... is simply a game-changer in the legal world!

When did such a person emerge in Green Forest City?

Lin Yue stared at Xu De in disbelief for a long time before asking in surprise:

"You're from Jinmao Law Firm? There's no top lawyer named Xu De at that firm."

As she spoke, she looked the other person up and down suspiciously.

However, Lin Yue quickly stopped thinking about it.

because.......

She suddenly realized something else.

So, if things are developing in the same direction as the other party expected, does that mean... the solution must also be the same as their proposed one?

A normal solution wouldn't matter, but Xu De's approach...

He's a lawless madman!

"Wait, you're not going to tell me..."

Lin Yue's eyes twitched suddenly, her heart pounded, and she stared wide-eyed at the gentle, tall man beside her, her voice filled with disbelief.

A gasp of surprise rang out.

"So you're really going to do that illegal thing now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the reception room fell into an eerie silence.

The two looked at each other.

Just as Lin Yue's eyes widened and a sense of unease crept into her heart...

Xu De suddenly smiled.

"You guessed right, but..."

"I'll do it, but...it will never be illegal!"
