Lin Guodong felt like the sky had fallen.

He knew that his daughter was a serious, responsible, and self-reliant person who liked to solve problems on her own and wouldn't give up until she found the answer.

That seriousness is commendable.

But we shouldn't get so fixated on a single point that we develop a high fever!

What does it mean to say whether stealing a child is illegal? Is this really a question that Lin Yue, who is an excellent student, should ask?

"No, Dad, I'm serious."

Lin Yue took a deep breath, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

What Xu De said to her at the law firm a few days ago was truly shocking.

She tried to find loopholes in the other party's criminal code, but after searching for several days, she found... it actually seems to be legal!

"Young lady, are you really running a fever?"

Lin Guodong was a little worried. He even touched the other person's forehead, but found that the body temperature was normal.

Lin Yue shook her head, shook off the other person's hand, thought for a moment, and then said:

"dad."

"Tell me, if a lawyer steals a child to complete a case... is that illegal?"

Upon hearing this...

Although Lin Guodong still didn't know what she was up to, he went along with her and replied:

"Naturally, it's illegal."

"Any act of abduction driven by profit constitutes the crime of child trafficking."

He could find the answer to this fundamental question simply by recalling the relevant laws.

Unexpectedly, the moment the words left his mouth...

Lin Yue spoke again:

"What if the person who created the trust is the child's biological mother?"

Is the person who stole the child the child's mother?

Lin Guodong paused slightly, touched his chin, hesitated for a moment, but still responded.

"This...is also illegal. In civil law, it infringes on the other party's guardianship rights."

"Criminally, it constitutes the crimes of illegal detention, robbery, and gang fighting."

It was as if they had waited specifically for him to finish saying that.

Lin Yue spoke again, urgently saying:

"What if the child's father is dead, and the mother is alone, currently living only in the home of a nominal close relative?!"

"Is it illegal to steal a child under these circumstances?"

Lin Guodong: ?

"Wait...wait a minute."

Lin Guodong was stunned. The other party's series of words had clearly caught him off guard, and his mind was in turmoil.

Father is dead? That means... guardianship is with my mother?

No, if you have guardianship, then why are you stealing your own child for no reason?!

and many more......

In a daze.

Lin Guodong's eyes widened, then he suddenly remembered something. He looked up and stared at Lin Yue in shock.

"Moon, are you talking about Wang Mei's case?!"

His exclamation echoed in the small bedroom, his expression one of utter astonishment.

With the father dead, the child living with close relatives, and only the mother alive, isn't this exactly the Wang Mei custody case, which is deeply intertwined with the Lijiacun case?

And it seems that her own daughter is the lawyer handling this case!

"It's this case."

Lin Yue nodded, without denying it.

The moment those words were spoken, Lin Guodong stared at her with wide eyes.

My own daughter...isn't she an idealist like me? When did she ever have such a heinous thought as stealing a child?!

Thinking of this.

Lin Guodong couldn't sit still any longer. He immediately stood up and said urgently to Lin Yue:

"Xiaoyue, I know the case is difficult, and it will be hard to bring the child back."

"But...but we can't just steal children because it's difficult to enforce! That's absolutely unacceptable!"

Lin Yue shook her head, sighed, and pressed on again:

"Dad, answer me first, is it illegal to steal the child under these circumstances?"

Lin Guodong was about to speak up and object.

But the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

He knew about Wang Mei's case. Since her biological father was dead, guardianship naturally belonged to Wang Mei. Therefore, the so-called grandparents...

"But... custody decisions still need to be made by the court..."

Lin Guodong hesitated before he could deny it, but before he could finish speaking, Lin Yue immediately interrupted him.

"The custody decision was made long ago, and Wang Mei won the case."

Lin Yue thoughtfully added:

"Furthermore, when abducting a child, the child's biological mother is usually taken along; the lawyer is not sent alone."

"dad."

Is this illegal?

Lin Guodong seemed to want to speak but hesitated, then stopped himself from speaking.

His face flushed slightly, and his mind was in turmoil.

Is it illegal?

With custody and guardianship in her hands, the child legally belongs to Wang Mei. So, it's less about theft and more about a little fun between mother and child!

And what about the families whose rights have been violated?

No, the other party has no right.

Judging from the conditions Lin Yue offered... as long as Wang Mei and the lawyer weren't planning to assault anyone, and only intended to steal the child, there wouldn't be any risk!

Neither civil nor criminal charges apply!

"This...this..."

Lin Guodong's face grew increasingly red, but he couldn't utter a single word.

That's not right, that's not right.

This isn't how the law works!

If you want your child back, you should first fight a lawsuit for a year. After the lawsuit, you should negotiate with the other party for a few more months, then wait for the enforcement period to expire. If the other party fails to comply for two years, you should then apply to the police and the court for enforcement. After waiting for the enforcement application to be approved for a few more months, you can then take your child back!

What, you just got a court ruling, and you don't even want to wait for the enforcement period...?

It's pure thievery!

Ironically, it seems they actually managed to exploit a bunch of legal loopholes!

Damn it, that's not how you apply legal procedures and laws!

"no......."

Lin Guodong's face was flushed. He looked at his daughter as if she were a stranger, his chest heaving violently.

"Who told you this idea?!"

Lin Yue did not answer, but handed over the relevant "legal" documents that Xu De had compiled to the other party.

She had also asked Xu De, and to put her mind at ease, Xu De said that he could have her find someone to corroborate his words without revealing any secrets.

Therefore, the other party can definitely see it.

"Whoosh~"

Lin Guodong snatched it away, and the paper made a crisp sound.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the document, but after he read the words...

The next second, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he wanted to paste them onto the black and white words on the paper.

The document states that everything is roughly the same as what Lin Yue just said.

But I need more details!

The above not only cites classical texts and provides a strict and detailed analysis of the original legal provisions, but also argues that their theft of children does not violate the law.

They even left most of the page blank, listing evidence that Li Youcai and Liu Cui, the couple, were the ones who committed the illegal and criminal acts!

After he finished reading it...

Lin Guodong: ?

Lin Guodong was stunned. As a leading figure in the field of law, this was the first time he had ever felt this way about a document.

Shocked.

An unprecedented and shocking experience!

Decades of values ​​and beliefs are being challenged like never before; a major earthquake is happening to our worldview!

He stood there, stunned, looking at the document repeatedly from all angles, trying to find a flaw.

a long time.

Lin Yue couldn't bear it any longer. She sat in the chair, looked up at him, and asked cautiously.

"dad."

Lin Guodong came to his senses, feeling as if he had just woken up from a dream but was not fully awake, looking at his daughter with a bewildered gaze.

"Um?"

Lin Yue asked, "Is this illegal?"

Lin Guodong: ......

Lin Guodong hesitated again. Looking into the other person's sincere eyes, he held back for a long time before finally replying:

"That's immoral!"

Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, asking suspiciously, "So, is it illegal?"

"This is unethical!"

Lin Guodong repeated it loudly, his face turning even redder.

Don't ask if it's illegal or not, the answer is simply that it's immoral!

But correspondingly, that is to say...

"You can't find anything illegal?" Lin Yue suddenly asked.

Lin Guodong remained silent, unable to speak.

"This isn't illegal at all!?"

Lin Yue was very surprised, even though she had expected it.

But she was still shocked when Lin Guodong was speechless.

Shocked, Lin Yue thought of Xu De's other trump card, namely the incident of "Wang Qiang protecting an armed police officer with his bare hands," and couldn't help but twitch her thin lips.

The trial is scheduled to begin in two days.

With a lawyer like this in Green Forest City, the local prosecutors are in for a treat.

Thinking of this, Lin Yue couldn't help but want to laugh; she could already foresee what the trial would look like.

To resolve the concern about whether it is illegal.

Lin Yue seemed much more lively; she stood up and exclaimed excitedly:

"Alright, you should go eat, I'm going to change my clothes."

After saying that, she pushed Lin Guodong out.

With a click, the door closed.

Lin Guodong, standing outside the door, was unable to come to his senses for a long time.

His expression was moved, his eyes were confused, and there was a sense of shock in his confusion, and a hint of horror in his shock.

He was like a soulless, walking corpse.

Lin Guodong didn't even know when he returned to his bedroom or when he sat down at the dining table!

"Old Lin, what are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?"

Beside the table.

Su Xin, the wife, looked at her husband, who seemed lost in thought after returning from their daughter's room, with a hint of confusion on her face.

Lin Guodong regained some consciousness.

He looked at his wife, his lips parted slightly.

The next second, this leading figure in China's legal community, a top university law professor, an authoritative figure in academia, a person who claims to be a master... asked a question from the bottom of his soul.

"you say......"

Is child abduction illegal?

Su Xin: ?

"Are you delirious with fever!?"
