Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

[Moral decay! A shocking case has emerged in Green Forest City, and the victim faces the death penalty!]

Does the law need improvement? After a decade-long search for his family, he was met not with reunion, but with imprisonment!

[Outrage! Should human traffickers be deprived of their human rights?! Should buyers be punished the same as traffickers?!]

[A trafficked woman's account: A person chained to a pigsty...]

【...】

11 month 8 day.

At 6:30 a.m., the sky was just beginning to lighten, and a chilly air filled the air. White steam continued to rise from the steamers of breakfast shops on both sides of the road.

Looking at the eye-catching headlines in the newspaper, the people sitting at the breakfast stall felt indignant.

"Damn it! They weren't there when the child was abducted, they were nowhere to be seen when the child was raped, but then the family killed the traffickers, and suddenly a bunch of cops showed up!"

"Where are Li Erniu's parents? Why aren't they arrested?!"

"These two didn't participate in any illegal activities..."

"What utter bullshit! They've been kidnapped for ten years, do you believe those two old bastards didn't participate in the abuse?"

"Do you believe that the money to buy people came from those two old geezers?!"

"Sigh, the court has no evidence."

"Fuck this world..."

"..."

At the breakfast stall, several people sat together, arguing heatedly while looking at the newspaper. Their faces were red and their necks were thick with hatred, their eyes practically glaring at each other, and their chests heaving violently.

The sounds of conversation around me rose and fell, almost never ceasing.

Lin Guodong stood in line to buy food not far away, turned his head to look at the people, and listened silently.

The food vendor in front of him glanced up at him, then continued working without stopping, casually saying:

"Professor Lin, what's your opinion on this case?"

Hearing the noise, Lin Guodong came to his senses.

He looked away, glanced at the breakfast stall owner in front of him, shook his head, and sighed:

"It's difficult."

Although I didn't read the newspaper.

But Lin Guodong understood what these people were discussing.

It's nothing more than a case of women trafficking in Lijia Village, Lvsen City!

The victim in the case, Wang Mei, was abducted for a full ten years. During those ten years, she was tied to a woodshed and subjected to constant abuse, living a life worse than that of a dog.

In an attempt to save someone, the father killed the trafficker, and is now being sued by Li Youcai and Liu Cui...

"In the past, some lawyers would even pay out of their own pockets to fight these kinds of cases, you know?"

Lin Guodong spoke calmly, but his words were filled with sorrow.

Lawyers are motivated by money, but it depends on the case. If a case generates enough public attention, top lawyers will be willing to pay out of their own pockets to help the victims!

The Wang Qiang case was big enough that it caused a great uproar in the entire Lusen City, with discussions taking place everywhere.

But even now, we haven't seen many top lawyers take on the case.

"Because it's hard to win."

Lin Guodong lowered his head and took out money from his pocket, saying as he did so:

"The defendant took the initiative, and Li Erniu died immediately. Based on this alone, there is almost no evidence in the case that is favorable to the defendant."

"Not to mention any other objective evidence favorable to Li Erniu."

As he spoke, Lin Guodong shook his head.

"It's difficult."

Upon hearing this, the boss stopped what he was doing and, unwilling to give up, said:

"I heard the trial is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, that's two more days."

"Is there really no other way these past two days!?"

Lin Guodong was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't want to talk about it, but as someone in the field, he understood the ins and outs better than anyone else.

He could only remain silent and say, "Even if it were possible, it would only be a one percent chance, which wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miracle..."

After saying that.

Before the breakfast stall owner could speak, he continued:

"Let's put it that way."

"The case occurred in Lijia Village, and the police and prosecutors could only collect evidence in Lijia Village!"

"This includes confessions, witness testimonies, and physical evidence, and confessions and witness testimonies..."

Where did these two pieces of evidence come from? Naturally, they came from the villagers of Lijia Village!

What kind of evidence will they provide? Anyone with a brain knows it's 100% fabricated and designed to benefit Li Youcai!

The police and prosecutors had no choice but to reluctantly accept this evidence.

"That's why this case is difficult; nobody wants to take it."

Lin Guodong let out a long sigh.

Cross-examination requires genuine evidence, but the defendant simply cannot produce any. A shrewd lawyer would not allow themselves to take such an almost impossible risk.

"this......"

The breakfast stall owner's lips twitched. He looked at his junior high school classmate, and finally sighed, saying nothing more.

He handed the breakfast to Lin Guodong and then left, silently going to knead the dough.

Lin Guodong turned around and glanced at the diners at the table.

The guests were still indignant.

He shook his head, didn't look any further, and turned to disappear with the tofu pudding and sesame seed cakes in his arms.

The weather in November is rather cold.

Lin Guodong walked along the road in a thick, bulky coat, stopping and starting as he turned several corners.

Not long after.

Lin Guodong stood in front of a Taoist temple. He walked into the courtyard and finally stood in front of a guest room, raising his arm and placing his hand on the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

"You're back?"

A gentle voice came from inside the door. Looking up, he saw a graceful middle-aged woman walking towards him and then closing the door behind her.

"Um."

Lin Guodong nodded and placed all the breakfast he was holding on the table.

"Eat it while it's hot."

His wife, Su Xin, glanced at him, then slowly turned away, leaving him with her back to her. As she prepared breakfast, she said:

"Feeling down? Why?"

"Ugh."

Upon hearing this, Lin Guodong couldn't help but sit down and let out a long sigh.

"It's all because of that case in Lijia Village. You have no idea how much public opinion there is right now."

"Breakfast stalls, farmers' markets, supermarkets—just on my way back from buying breakfast, I've encountered people discussing this at least five times!"

She is the wife of law professor Lin Guodong.

Su Xin, also a legal professional, was naturally familiar with the case and said gently:

"What are your thoughts? Perhaps you could contact the local bar association to see if they can handle your case..."

Upon hearing this, the other party fell silent.

It's well known that the field of law...is rife with depression!

Lin Guodong wanted to improve the judiciary, make society more stable, and make people happier, but... reality always dealt him a blow, leaving him feeling lost.

Take marriage, which is the most contradictory and simplest form of marriage, for example.

Firstly, in divorce proceedings, the court decides to grant a divorce based on "whether the relationship has broken down." This means that even if the relationship has broken down, it is very difficult to get a divorce if one party insists on keeping their position.

Doesn't it seem absurd?

However, if you are a man and, in the absence of this law, you are a victim of marriage fraud, and the woman quickly divorces you the day after the marriage, the court will directly declare the divorce valid.

What awaits you then? Your assets will be divided at lightning speed!

Therefore, a divorce buffer needs to be added.

Does this way of thinking make sense? No.

Now, suppose you are a woman suffering from domestic violence. You can't take it anymore and want a divorce, but because of this law, the husband insists that there has been no breakdown in the relationship, making it impossible to get a divorce quickly.

Does this seem unreasonable?

However, if we break down the law further and try to improve it, we won't be able to close the loopholes; instead, the loopholes will only get bigger.

Lin Guodong, this idealist, got lost at this double-edged sword-like, mentally schizophrenic crossroads.

So he decisively moved to a Taoist temple to rest for a few months, allowing his state of mind to return to calm.

"never mind."

Lin Guodong remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"I am just a theorist. It would be irresponsible of the client to take on cases based on my status as a professor at a prestigious university."

Upon hearing this, his wife, Su Xin, did not offer any comfort.

The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes curved slightly as she softly comforted her husband.

"You know you're a theoretical professor, too?"

"The case that Yue Liang is handling seems to involve the Li Family Village case. Why don't you offer her some theoretical guidance?"

Lin Guodong paused slightly after he finished speaking.

He has a daughter named Lin Yue, who is also a law student and became a lawyer after graduation.

Recently, it seems they've taken over the custody case of the child victim from the Lijiacun abduction case. And custody inevitably involves the family's attitude towards the defendant after Li Erniu's death...

Judging from this, Lin Yue should be extremely busy right now.

It's normal to feel overwhelmed, given that they're still young.

"But...she hasn't asked me about it these past few days."

Lin Guodong hesitated for a moment.

Su Xin then said, "The child just graduated not long ago, perhaps he doesn't want you to see his predicament."

Lin Guodong pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

"I'll give it a try, I'll help if I can."

After figuring it out.

Lin Guodong didn't stand up and walked outside.

Watching his retreating figure, Su Xin smiled, then slowly sat down in the chair and began to eat her breakfast slowly and deliberately.

......

Room.

"Knock knock knock~"

Lin Guodong knocked on his daughter Lin Yue's door, but there was no response for a long time.

Not home?

He raised an eyebrow, a few questions popping into his mind, and then he exerted a little force with both hands.

The next second...

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

A simply decorated bedroom came into view, and Lin Yue was sitting at the table reading a book intently, while a look of existential doubt appeared on her face.

Upon seeing his daughter at home, Lin Guodong hesitated.

"What are you doing?"

He leaned closer and asked in a gentle voice.

"Why have you seemed so lost and disoriented these past few days?"

Upon reaching her side and seeing the book in Lin Yue's hand, Lin Guodong raised an eyebrow.

What the other party was looking at was none other than the supreme martial arts manual of the Eastern Kingdom, namely the Criminal Code!

If I remember correctly, the other person went out early one morning a couple of days ago, and then locked themselves in their room for several days straight, studying this book.

Judging from that expression... he must have encountered a difficult problem!

"what?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Yue snapped out of her reverie.

She turned around and saw that it was her father. She breathed a sigh of relief and recalled the question Lin Guodong had asked her earlier...

Lin Yue hesitated for a moment, then finally, with a look of utter disbelief on her face, she spoke:

"Dad, I...I've run into a tricky problem, and I've been thinking about it for the past two days."

really.

I have indeed encountered a question!

See here.

Lin Guodong smiled, while mentally preparing to answer questions.

You should know that although my daughter may not be a world-class lawyer, she is a top student who graduated from one of the best universities in the country!

Without a doubt, Lin Yue is a genius, but even such a genius has questions...

What kind of problem is this?!

"It's okay, you can ask Dad if you have any questions."

Lin Guodong pulled out a chair, sat down next to Lin Yue, and said softly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue gave a rare, strange look, paused, and then asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Lin Guodong was taken aback, then fell silent, and laughed:

"I might not be good at other things, but in the field of law... in the entire East Country, your dad is absolutely top-notch!"

Lin Guodong is very confident.

This confidence stems from both strength and status!

He is a law professor at a top university, but he is a full-time academic, and his students have produced several doctoral students!

His published papers have been published by authoritative international institutions, and countless people have cited them!

He even has the right to offer opinions on the revision of judicial laws and regulations. He is a true academic giant in the field of law, at the very pinnacle of the profession!

Nowadays, it's just a student's question, how could I not answer it?

"Then I'll ask."

Lin Yue hesitated before speaking.

Lin Guodong nodded: "Go ahead and ask."

The words were spoken.

Lin Yue took a deep breath, frowned, remained silent for a moment, and then, after a long while, said, word by word:

"Dad, what do you mean...?"

Is child abduction really illegal?

Lin Guodong: ?

Lin Guodong paused, staring at his daughter in front of him, completely stunned.

How could this legal field... no, even an illiterate person understands this, this is the most basic of basic, even common sense... how could it come out of the mouth of this Tsinghua University graduate!?

He even spent several days flipping through the Criminal Code but still couldn't find the answer, so he came to ask himself, a professor!

Sure enough, the next second, Lin Guodong looked surprised and exclaimed.

"Are you delirious with fever!?"
