Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 234 Ding Yan: We've run away, family members, we've run away.

Isn't Zhu Dali afraid of death?

Or rather, is a person unafraid of death?

To be honest, there are indeed some people in this world who are not afraid of death, some who are born without fear, and some whose hearts are ashen, such as when a loved one dies or when they encounter a major setback.

But regardless of the reason, it is all due to other factors that make them unafraid of death.

for example.

Rooftop.

Jumping off a rooftop—this is something most people are familiar with. Whenever the stock market fluctuates, it seems like human dumplings are falling from the sky.

Weren't these people who jumped from the building afraid of death? Yes, they were, but after suffering such a severe blow, they were devastated and had a very weak sense of death.

in contrast.

What about normal people? Would normal people be afraid of dying?

"I think normal people are afraid."

"First and foremost is the 'survival instinct' ingrained in our DNA."

"Nine out of ten people who claim they are not afraid of death will be terrified when they actually face death. They only think they are not afraid of death, not that they are truly not afraid of death."

Secondly.

Xu De sat in the chair and slowly began to speak.

"Zhu Dali has no reason to die."

People who jump off buildings in the stock market do so because they've lost all their money and are burdened with debt; death is easier than life.

But Zhu Dali is different.

"Zhu Dali has a wife, a son, and everything else."

"He has no reason to die!"

talking.

Xu De paused for a moment, then added an example, "For instance, the so-called 'unstable factors' in society follow the same logic as what I'm saying."

"Even if Zhu Dali wasn't a scapegoat, it's still illogical for him to commit murder."

The words were spoken.

Those around paused, and the so-called "unstable factors" subconsciously came to mind.

The authorities will assess the threat level of individuals.

Let's say you are a young person, and your threat assessment is '1'.

Therefore, after you get married, have children, and your parents grow old, your threat level will drop to '0.1'.

in contrast.

If you are all alone, without a wife, children, or parents, then your threat rating will soar to '2'.

Zhu Dali meets the lowest threat level.

In theory, he wouldn't die, nor would he cause trouble.

They wouldn't dare to die or cause trouble!

"But right now, the case is that Zhu Dali killed someone and was arrested and taken to the police station."

One side.

Wang Chao stroked his chin thoughtfully as he spoke.

Xu De nodded and said:

"So...that leaves room for guessing."

In other words.

Currently, there are two points of suspicion against Zhu Dali.

First, if the other party is not a scapegoat, then theoretically there is no reason for them to kill someone just to borrow money.

Second, if the logic we thought of earlier is correct, then... Zhu Dali is suspected of being a scapegoat, but we don't know exactly why he dared to be a scapegoat!

Just as everyone was pondering this.

A voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Alright, let's rest first, and we'll find the family to sign the contract tomorrow."

All I saw was...

Xu De stood up, his expression calm, and slowly walked out.

"Without a contract, you don't have the authority to investigate."

Li Jian nodded, then, as if remembering something, hesitated and said, "But... the family doesn't know about the case yet."

"Heh heh, getting old doesn't mean you're stupid."

"If she hasn't seen Zhang Mushan for a week, and there are both police and lawyers around, do you think she wouldn't have some suspicions?"

Xu De did not turn around, but continued walking out, leaving the others with only his back view.

"Furthermore... what needs to be said must be said."

"Dragging this out any further will only help lawbreakers get away with it."

"Well... to be honest, I think our actions have been slowed down enough by the train. By all accounts, the defendant should be at the point where they need to meet with the family."

The words were spoken.

Li Jian remained silent, and could only sigh, which was considered an agreement with his statement.

The group quickly exited the station.

The group found a hotel close to the hospital and settled in. Each person had a single room, which was a bit expensive, but fortunately, it was a business trip and the law firm would reimburse them.

After a quick dinner and a light wash, everyone lay down on the bed and went to sleep, still puzzled.

However, they were not the only ones contemplating this case.

same.

They weren't the only ones taking action against the case... and they...

Faster!

......

The next day.

May 12, the sixth day after the incident.

morning.

At 7:30, while everyone was having breakfast and resting, a piece of bad news suddenly arrived.

Inside the hotel's self-service area.

Lawyer Li Jian was still eating something when... the other party simply got up to answer a phone call, and immediately, their expression changed drastically. After hanging up, they returned to the table and said to the group in a deep voice:

"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Attorney Xu, this is terrible!"

On the table.

Everyone frowned. Wu Xin put down his chopsticks and asked, "Whose call was that?"

"police!"

Li Jian spoke, and after uttering just two words, everyone was momentarily stunned. Then, before they could ask any questions, Li Jian continued:

"Just received the news."

"On the defendant's side... defense lawyer Yan Mi, company boss Sun Hu, and the police arrived at the hospital..."

Arrived at the hospital? What for at the hospital?

Almost instantly, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

"The news of Zhang Mushan's death has been informed to the deceased's family?!" Lin Yue was suddenly stunned, her pupils contracted, and she subconsciously asked.

The words were spoken.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Jian in disbelief.

Li Jian's face was grim, but he nodded nonetheless. "Yes."

"bad thing!"

Xu De was startled, anticipating that due to the limitations of the train's speed in 2003, he might be a few steps slower than the defendant.

Immediately.

Without any hesitation, he put down his chopsticks, abandoned his hot, uneaten breakfast, grabbed his clothes, and put them on.

He then strode quickly outside.

"What is the current status of the family members?"

Li Jian quickly followed.

"Initially very agitated... currently unconscious, being treated at the Third People's Hospital of Yanzhou City!"

"it is good."

Xu De nodded, walked out of the hotel, hailed a taxi, and got in.

Seeing that Wang Chao was about to go up, Xu De calmed down.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"No, the defendant is moving too fast; we can't let them lead us by the nose."

"Wang Chao, you and Attorneys Wu and Zhang should go and contact the defendant's family first!"

Contacting the defendant's family members...

Wang Chao and Wu Xin, who were about to get into the second taxi, were taken aback. "Now?"

Xu De nodded. "Now!"

Sun Huyan went to the hospital before the defendant had a lawyer. So... they could also arrange for someone to contact Zhu Dali's family while the other party was still in the hospital and conduct a surprise investigation!

"it is good."

The words were spoken.

The two parties then parted ways, with one taxi turning around and heading towards the police station.

The other car headed straight for the Third People's Hospital of Yanzhou City!

......

......

Yanzhou City.

Inside the Third People's Hospital.

The morning air was crisp and cool, and only a few scattered figures could be seen in the hospital corridors.

In front of the ICU ward.

Several figures stood silently at the doorway.

Police officer Zhou Jianshan stood at the door, looking through the glass of the ward at Zhang Xiuning lying on the bed in the ICU, his expression unusually complex.

Beside him, police officer Xiao Li had his head down, his face silent.

aside.

Sun Hu, the owner of Hongyang Civil Engineering Company, paced back and forth, tapping his hands repeatedly, his face full of anxiety.

He murmured to himself.

"How could this happen... How could this happen... Sigh, I meant well but messed things up, this..."

"If I had known, I shouldn't have come."

"This...this..."

Yan Mi patted Sun Hu on the back and whispered comfortingly:

"Mr. Sun, this was just an accident... an accident that no one expected. It has nothing to do with you, so don't worry."

"Besides... this is a hospital, everything will be fine..."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hu did not respond immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a moment, then, with a bitter expression, said:

"I wonder how the old man is doing..."

See here.

Police officer Zhou Jianshan looked away, his brows furrowed.

Just a short time ago.

When the police and Sun Hu and others arrived at the hospital, Sun Hu, under the pretext of personal compensation at the construction site, told Zhang Xiuning that Zhang Mushan had been beaten to death and died just a few dozen meters from his house.

then......

Zhang Xiuning fainted.

He nearly died!

Cardiogenic syncope occurs when a sudden surge of excitement in the sympathetic nervous system causes a rapid heartbeat, leading to cerebral ischemia and fainting.

Thanks to timely medical treatment, the person is currently out of danger, but their condition will depend on further observation.

"Sigh, what's meant to happen will happen, even though I've mentally prepared myself for it..."

Zhou Jianshan murmured.

The police never told the other party that Zhang Mushan was dead.

Besides the difficulty in saying it aloud, the biggest fear is that something might happen to the elderly person's health!

But no way.

The case has been transferred to the procuratorate.

The police must inform the family!

With Sun Hu bringing money this time, it could at least "comfort" the other party to some extent... but unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuning still fell into a coma.

"Thankfully... the old man didn't die, which is a blessing in disguise."

Yan Mi offered Sun Hu comforting words of truth.

See here.

Seeing Yan Mi's reaction, lawyer Ding Yan's expression grew even more indifferent. He then stood up and walked out.

Notice his actions.

Yan Mi paused for a moment, then asked gently, "Where is Attorney Ding going?"

Ding Yan paused, glanced back, and casually said:

"Let's go out for a smoke."

"Okay." Yan Mi nodded. "Go early and come back early."

Immediately.

Ding Yan didn't hesitate any longer and walked out, with his apprentice Xiao Zhou following closely behind.

"Da da da..."

Footsteps echoed in the corridor, and soon passed through the cold lobby before exiting the hospital's main entrance.

"Phew~"

Feeling the fresh air outside.

Ding Yan smacked his lips, then took a deep breath, a hint of impatience appearing between his brows, and smacked his lips again.

"Master, what's going on? Why do I feel like something's off?"

Xiao Zhou hurriedly caught up and walked to the door.

Strange?

Before the other party could ask again.

After smacking his lips, Ding Yan said coldly:

"That's exactly right."

"Heh heh, you don't actually think that Sun Hu was so careful that he didn't expect Zhang Xiuning's health to suffer after they came here and told her the news, do you?"

Everyone expected this.

The police had already thought of this, which is why they've dragged it out until now.

The neighbors had also thought of this, which is why they hesitated and stammered when they came to see Zhang Xiuning.

But no way.

The case has already been transferred to the procuratorate. If the family members are still unaware of the case at this point, then that would be considered a violation of regulations.

Therefore, Sun Hu and Yan Mi happened to be at this point in time to approach Zhang Xiuning.

only.......

"Sun Hu... heh heh, when he was trying to comfort Zhang Xiuning, he seemed to be doing so, but he was actually stepping on her landmines one by one!"

A hint of wariness flashed in Ding Yan's eyes.

"After saying that, Zhang Mushan died."

"He started telling Zhang Xiuning things like 'the child is still young,' 'it's not easy,' 'she's hardworking,' and 'compensation'... Heh heh, it seemed like he was trying to comfort her, but he actually got more and more agitated!"

"Fainting was indeed an accident."

"Of course, I mean that Sun Hu didn't expect Zhang Xiuning to just faint... This cardiac condition saved Zhang Xiuning's life, preventing her from dying directly from other illnesses."

In other words...

On one side, lawyer Xiao Zhou looked stunned, a chill running down his spine, and couldn't help but say:

"Master, you mean...?"

"Is Sun Hu trying to drive Zhang Xiuning to suicide by shock?!"

is it possible?

possible.

In Case 18, after Yang Jiale fell to his death in front of Zhao Li, Zhao Li died of a heart attack just three minutes later, ostensibly due to an accident.

Therefore, Zhang Xiuning might really die!

Once he died, the victim Zhang Mushan would have no family left.

There will be no family members holding anyone accountable, and no civil lawyers will press the matter.

Then, once Zhu Dali is convicted, the case will be closed.

"He's that ruthless!?" Xiao Zhou swallowed hard, his eyes filled with terror.

"Hehe, I didn't say anything. Mr. Sun just came to give us the money. It has nothing to do with us. No one can say for sure that Zhang Xiuning would faint. These are all accidents."

Lawyer Ding Yan curled his lip.

Xiao Zhou nodded, and after a long pause, tentatively asked:

"Sir, should we run away?"

"They...this is terrifying."

Ding Yan was very pleased to hear this, but after thinking for a moment, he said:

"No need, we're not here to do anything."

"We're just here to coast along, to gain experience and collect commissions. If there's money, we'll take a bite out of Yan Mi's hands."

"If something happens, it has nothing to do with us, so there's no need to run away."

"Hmm...we also need to be vigilant and be prepared to leave Yanzhou City at any time."

Upon hearing this...

Xiao Zhou nodded hurriedly.

Again.

What Yan Mi does is none of their business, and they have no right to manage it. All they can do is take a big bite out of Yan Mi when he takes money.

As for when to run and when not to run...

With over a decade of experience, Ding Yan has long since developed a set of criteria accurate to the millisecond level!

Just as the two were smoking.

In a daze...

"If you're in a hurry, don't block the road."

Several figures with hurried footsteps suddenly rushed in front of the two.

At the hospital entrance, Ding Yan and Xiao Zhou instinctively stepped aside, but...

Just as the two looked up...

among the crowd.

Several men in suits, who were hurrying into the hospital, glanced at the two of them.

Ding Yan initially didn't think much of it, but then...

"Just now, was that... Li Jian who went in?"

Ding Yan paused for a moment. In a corner of the crowd, Li Jian seemed to be among them... no, not seemingly.

It's Li Jian!

As a master of running away, a good memory is a must. He clearly remembered seeing this face at the company yesterday.

only......

"Wait, why are there so many people?"

"Isn't Zhang Qian the only person by Li Jian's side?!"

In a daze.

Ding Yan paused, forgetting to smoke the cigarette in his hand, and stood there stunned.

Besides that, the most crucial thing is...

Those figures... what's with them...?

"Master, why do I feel like those lawyers around Li Jian look familiar?" Xiao Zhou suddenly asked hesitantly.

Ding Yan, without hesitation, made a firm statement.

He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, then stood up, grabbed his apprentice Xiao Zhou, and ran outside.

"run!"

"Go back to Haicheng!"

Xiao Zhou looked completely bewildered. As he was being pulled along, he stumbled and exclaimed in disbelief, "Run? What happened that you have to run?"

"Master, did you recognize those people?"

"No," Ding Yan said.

Xiao Zhou exclaimed, "Then we're still running?!"

"This case is worth 100,000! Even if we were just slackers, we could easily make 100,000. If we run away now, we'll lose everything..."

Trust your instincts; every second counts when you're on the run!

Ding Yan didn't turn his head, his eyes showing not even the slightest bit of attachment to the 100,000 yuan.

His tone and expression were incredibly firm as he said:

"Run now if you're going to run, otherwise, after you figure out what happened..."

"If you keep running, it will be very difficult to run!"
