Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Attorney Zhou, why don't you ask Attorney Yan what he's been doing?"

Prosecutor Zhao Qian looked at Zhou Ning in front of him with a gentle smile.

What did you do?!

What else can we do?

Zhou Ning paused slightly and subconsciously looked at Yan Mi, only to find Yan Mi silent and not saying a word. He was immediately confused.

until......

"Prosecutor Zhao, I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"However, if there's anything you need my cooperation with, I'll be happy to cooperate."

After a long pause, the lawyer Yan Mi took a deep breath. Although his brows were full of fatigue, a thoughtful expression also appeared.

After saying this, Zhao Qian snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Yan Mi then turned to look at Zhou Ning beside him and said in a deep voice:

"Attorney Zhou, you...should go back to Haicheng first."

Zhou Ning exclaimed in astonishment, "Back to Haicheng? You're not going back!?"

I came out with them. There were four of us when we came, but when we went back... I was all alone!

Let's not even talk about whether I've received my commission after three months.

Just explaining this to Hong Lang Law Firm alone will be difficult!

Yan Mi is a top-notch lawyer in the literal sense; he alone is worth an entire law firm!

Someone takes you on a case, but when you go back, they're gone. You have to slink back... It'll be hard to explain to Hong Lang Law Firm.

"Attorney Yan, you must be joking."

"How am I supposed to explain this to Hung Lang Law Firm?"

Yan Mi whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not so easily dragged into this."

"But......."

Zhou Ning was a little anxious and wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, Yan Mi didn't have anything to say either.

Zhao Qian and the others snorted coldly and, without waiting any longer, led their men directly towards the police car.

A moment later, the police car drove away.

At the entrance of the courthouse, only Zhou Ning remained, bewildered and lost in the wind.

The day.

Zhou Ning tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. The next day, he went to the police station and, after speaking with the officers, discovered that Yan Mi had been temporarily detained by the police and was currently under surveillance, forbidden from contacting outsiders.

For him, this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune; at least he wasn't transferred to a detention center, which meant he still had a chance to live.

Zhou Ning took a tour of Yanzhou City.

In the end, he had no choice but to return to Hongyang Civil Engineering Construction Co., Ltd., get 200,000 yuan in commission fees from the company's finance department, and board a plane to Haicheng.

on the plane.

Looking at the clouds passing by outside Zhou Ning's window, a look on his face was more painful than crying.

To be honest, it has been a day and a night since Yan Mi was arrested and put into detention, but Hong Lang Law Firm still has not received any news.

It wasn't that the other party hadn't contacted him; rather, Zhou Ning hadn't answered the phone at all.

As for why they didn't answer...

How should he tell the other person?

You can't exactly say, "Your lawyer got arrested..." Yan Mi is a senior partner who controls a lot of resources in the firm. Who knows how Honglang Law Firm will react after the news gets out?

Zhou Ning wore an expression that was worse than crying, and after a long while, she sighed deeply.

"Let's take it one step at a time..."

As the plane streaked across the horizon...

same time.

A train on the ground also gradually drove away from Yanzhou City along the tracks.

......

......

Xu De left, and his trip to Yanzhou was a rather memorable one for him.

After all, there are very few cases that can keep him on the case for three months.

As for any gains... well, there were some.

First, monetary gains.

But... to be honest, it wasn't much money.

The money was mainly given by the family of reporter Wang Han, and by Wang Huiguo, Xu De's second agent. Huang Chengwei's family also gave some money after they found out.

The two of them pooled their money together, totaling 100,000.

In 2003, 100,000 was considered a considerable sum of money. However, it represented the total compensation for six lawyers working for three months, and Xu De even incurred significant expenses. Therefore, it was a losing proposition.

but!

Short-term profits are not essential for measuring the development of a law firm.

Compared to the commission fees, Xu De made a fortune in another aspect.

That is......

reputation!

Because the cases span a long period of time, the reputation of "Houde Law Firm" has already been promoted.

Three months of free GG!

In particular, Hai Van province is right next to Thanh Ngo province, which serves as effective publicity, allowing them to take on cases immediately.

So overall, this commission was profitable, and quite profitable.

After all matters have been dealt with.

Xu De and the others then boarded the train back to Lusen City.

They arrived at Midori City Station around dawn on August 4th. The six of them forced themselves out of the station, returned to their respective residences, and went straight to sleep.

Xu De and Lin Yue returned to Baiyun Temple. In a daze, they collapsed upon seeing the bed.

Until morning...

......

That day, at nine o'clock in the morning.

Inside the room, two even, long breaths could be heard.

In a daze.

As if electrocuted, Xu De, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up straight on the bed.

The next second, a voice appeared in my ear.

Congratulations on completing your criminal trial x1

The customer is extremely satisfied with your service, with a 99.999% satisfaction rate, giving it a very high rating!

[The "Kiyama Case" has been included.]

[Note:]

[(Filial piety, propriety, and the absence of malicious intent; these are the moral bottom lines they strive for, the norms of a harmonious society.)]

[I did all of this, and they laughed at me, calling me a fool.]

When Xu De woke up, he was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, frowned, and looked down at what was in front of him.

next second.

The pale blue light curtain reappeared.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have acquired the passive skill "Minecraft"!]

[Minecraft: Perhaps you could try managing your own "world." As your business grows, you might reap some unexpected rewards.]

[Currently selectable world: 'Houde Law Firm']

After seeing the handwriting on the panel, Xu De looked slightly surprised, raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

"A passive skill!?"

What was the name of the previous passive skill?

Learning has no end!

It's not a single skill, unlike psychology or physiognomy.

However, this thing can raise the upper limit of one's skills, meaning that as long as one is willing to learn, one's improvement can be made transparent and quantifiable.

It can be described as a divine skill, raising the upper limit of all skills by one's own power.

As for the current "Minecraft"...

Xu De looked at the panel in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then a thought struck him.

"Houde Law Firm has been chosen!"

The next second, three words appeared on the screen.

[Selected!]

Xu De closed his eyes, carefully sensed it, and then...

He opened his eyes, a look of surprise suddenly appearing on his face. He stood up and looked at his body, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I don't feel anything at all."

He muttered to himself.

Yes, I felt absolutely nothing.

When studying bone structure or psychology, it feels like my brain is suddenly stuffed with a bunch of condensed knowledge, forcing me to learn.

But now... there's really nothing at all.

"Could it be that it hasn't been blessed yet?"

Xu De paused, a thoughtful expression appearing in his mind, and then summoned his entire control panel.

Immediately afterwards, the image on the screen in front of me changed.

[Passive Skills: Never-ending Learning, Minecraft]

Xu De's gaze was focused on the last one.

He stared at "Minecraft" for a long time before finally frowning.

"The skill has been enhanced, but I don't know exactly where the enhancement is..."

He fell into deep thought, but didn't dwell on it much.

Since there are skills, they must have some use, it's just that they haven't been shown yet. I can study them again later.

"It's morning, let's eat first."

Xu De glanced at the clock on the wall, then snapped out of his reverie, yawned, and was about to stand up.

only......

"Um?"

He was just about to leave when, in a daze, he realized that under the thin layer of blankets covering him... his lower body was being pressed down by something.

Xu De paused, then reached out and touched it.

It's cylindrical and very soft.

He paused slightly, then pulled back the covers, and the next second... a pair of soft, jade-like, long, and fair legs appeared before him.

Xu De froze, slightly shifting his head to look to his side, and saw...

A girl with her eyes closed lay beside him, curled up in a sleeping position. Her face had a messy beauty, her cherry-red lips were closed, and her breathing was long and even, her chest rising and falling.

Is this... a True Lord?

Yes, it is the True Lord.

Xu De: ! ! ?

Xu De was startled, as if he had been stabbed, and almost jumped up, making a move to put on his clothes and leave quickly.

but......

As soon as he stood up, he looked at the familiar scene around him and immediately came to his senses.

"No, this is my room."

"Yes, I think I was too tired yesterday. I just finished washing up and was chatting with Zhenjun about something, but I didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as I touched the bed without even closing the door."

Xu De came to his senses and thought he had done something wrong, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment's thought, he immediately became more assertive.

I didn't sleep well at all last night. In my dream, I felt like I was being strangled by a snake and couldn't breathe. It turns out that she was the culprit!

What a despicable guy!

Xu De was about to wake the other person, but after seeing the other person's somewhat messy hair, he paused slightly and then touched his own face.

He thought about it.

So he went to wash up first, and after he finished washing up, he returned to his original position and pinched the other person's delicate nose.

"Hmm..."

Lin Yue frowned slightly, shook her head, and after a moment, her eyes suddenly opened.

Just then, she met Xu De's gaze as he sat on the edge of the bed, and she was slightly taken aback.

The next second...

Lin Yue subconsciously looked down at her half-exposed, snow-white thighs under her nightgown, her eyes filled with shock.

"ah......"

She clutched the blanket, her lips parted, about to say something, but then...

"How dare you molest me!?"

Five words were uttered.

Generally speaking, it's quite normal to say this in this situation; in fact, it could even be considered rape.

only......

Lin Yue was taken aback. She blinked, making sure she hadn't said anything at all. So what did she mean by that...?

She raised her head slightly.

Then I saw it.

At this moment, Xu De's face was full of dissatisfaction. He stared at the girl in front of him and said angrily:

"Lin Zhenjun, do you even know Article 137 of the Criminal Law, what is the sentence for 'indecent assault'?!"

"I know I might have a bit too much of a personal charm, but... no matter what, we should sit down and talk this out, not take advantage of me while I'm sleeping to molest me!"

Lin Yue:? ? ?

Lin Yue, who had just woken up, was still in a daze when she heard these words. It was as if her brain had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and she was stunned.

Indecent...molestation?

Who molested whom? Did you molest the other person?

Lin Yue looked down at her gathered, fair chest, then subtly covered it with her hands, pulling her legs together, which perfectly accentuated her slender waist.

She still stubbornly retorted:

"Heh heh, someone should stop being so narcissistic. The number of people chasing after me could line up around the world from Green Forest City!"

Xu De said, "Then why are you sleeping in my bed? Don't you have your own bed?"

"How would I know?"

Lin Yue's eyes widened.

"Did you put your leg on me last night? You know you kept me up all night?" Xu De said. "I could feel someone breathing in my ear, it must have been you."

Lin Yue retorted stubbornly, "How could that be? I just don't have the habit of carrying things!"

"You're lying, you definitely pinned me down."

Xu De shook his head, regretting that current mobile phones don't have camera functions; otherwise, he could have definitely captured evidence earlier.

"Impossible, I sleep very soundly!"

Lin Yue raised her head, "Even if I'm on top of you..."

"Then I'll crush you! Crush you to death! Crush you to death! Crush you to death! Heh heh heh."

The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

finally.

Xu De scoffed and pulled a mirror from the bedside table, handing it to the other person.

"Look at your messy hair, and then look at me. How can you say that?"

Lin Yue took the mirror and looked at herself. She saw that she had just woken up, her face was a little haggard, and her hair was messy.

Look up.

I saw Xu De again, looking radiant and with skin that was completely free of oil.

Lin Yue was startled and quickly got up. Without even putting on her shoes, she walked outside with her bare, rosy feet. With each step, her chest heaved.

"ah!"

She plunged into her room and disappeared, I don't know what she was doing.

Xu De tidied up his room first.

He looked at the messy sheets, hesitated for a moment, and then, instead of washing them, simply straightened out the wrinkles.

After a while.

The two reunited in the cafeteria, but Lin Yue's face was full of suspicion.

"Did you sneak off to wash up?" Lin Yue asked tentatively.

She began to question the meaning of life.

Normally, after a night's sleep, there should be some metabolic secretions on your face.

Moreover, due to hormonal issues, men should be in worse condition!

Lin Yue suspected that the other person had woken up early, washed up, and then woke her up, before speaking truthfully with an air of righteous indignation.

Do you think I'm that childish!?

Xu De stared wide-eyed at the other person, while also eating something in his mouth.

Lin Yue paused.

To be honest, most people wouldn't be that childish... even slightly more mature minors wouldn't do that.

Although the person in front of me has made many enemies, he is, in the end, a social elite.

What is an elite? An elite is someone who is mature and composed!

But based on Lin Yue's understanding of Xu De, the other party...

"You're so childish!"

Lin Yue stared at him, her mind resolute.

"I'm sure I'm not wrong."

"Do you have any evidence?"

Xu De said casually, burying his head in his food. Anyway, the other party had no evidence, and he would never admit it even if they beat him to death.

Just as the two were arguing and bickering.

In a daze...

A pale blue panel suddenly appeared in front of Xu De.

[Ding! Congratulations, Minecraft has completed a task.]

Congratulations! You have received 5 Thank You Coins!

For a moment, Xu De froze.

......

P.S.: There's one more chapter, around 1 AM. I spent more time researching laws while brainstorming other plot points.
