Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

"Haha, Xiao Zhou, you're as humorous as ever."

Yang Wei smiled, seemingly not taking those words seriously at all.

"Attorney Yan is the star of Honglang Law Firm!"

"Apart from a personal accident, what could possibly be so difficult for him within the borders of the Eastern Kingdom?"

After saying that,

Xu Chen nodded inside the elevator.

That's right.

Dongguo is a large country, and more importantly, a country with good public security and governed by law.

Since it is governed by law, the probability of lawyer Yan Mi getting into trouble is extremely small.

After all, lawyers are among the most knowledgeable about the law, especially top lawyers at Honglang Law Firm, but...

"I'm not joking."

"Attorney Yan...he..."

Zhou Ning's face was somewhat unpleasant. He hesitated, wanting to speak but unable to, and ultimately couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, Yang Wei seemed to realize something. He immediately frowned, understanding the seriousness of the problem. His heart sank, and he said in a low voice:

"What's wrong with being tight-lipped?"

Upon hearing this, even Xu Chen, who was inside the elevator, paused slightly and listened quietly.

Zhou Ning didn't know how to start the conversation, and his face looked very bitter.

There's nothing we can do. They were fine when they went there, but when they came back, they were gone. Anyone would be at a loss for words in this situation.

finally.

Zhou Ning gritted his teeth and said bluntly:

"Director Yang, Attorney Yan... lost the case, and lost badly!"

Lost...lost the case!?

The moment those two words fell.

Deputy Director Yang Wei was taken aback at first, then frowned.

Lost the case?

How is that possible?!

It's not that Yan Mi is invincible; after all, there are always people more capable than you, and there are many lawyers in the world more skilled than Yan Mi.

But this is not possible in Yanzhou!

The fact that a single case could take three months to resolve was already somewhat unexpected for Yang Wei.

But after three months of litigation, the result of losing the case was not an accident, but a shock!

"What's going on?"

Yang Wei frowned, hurriedly pressing for more information, and then added:

"And...it's terrible? What do you mean by 'terrible'?"

"What about keeping a close eye on others?"

How bad can it be for a lawyer to lose a case? Normally, the word "bad" isn't necessary, since the consequences of a case are borne by the client, not the lawyer.

Was the other party using the wrong words? No, although Zhou Ning is not a lawyer from a major law firm, he is, after all, Haicheng's top lawyer!

To be told that by the other party...

In a daze, Yang Wei suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next second!

"The client... that is, the defendant, consists of four people: one sentenced to death, one sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve, and the remaining two are essentially the same as those sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve."

Zhou Ning took a deep breath, remained silent for a moment, and then squeezed out a word of caution through gritted teeth.

"Besides his client, he was also tricked by the opposing lawyer."

"He is currently being held in a detention cell by the Yanzhou City local police and is unable to return to Haicheng."

After saying that,

Suddenly, Yang Wei's pupils contracted sharply, and his face was filled with astonishment.

All the clients are sentenced to death?!

Wait... Shouldn't cases handled with meticulous care be guaranteed to be won? A month and a half ago, on June 14th, the other party had already communicated with the law firm about returning to Haicheng. How did it suddenly become a complete defeat?

Of course, that's not important. The case was lost, so what does it mean...?

"Attorney Yan has been detained by the police!?"

Deputy Director Yang Wei couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his face full of astonishment.

He suddenly became extremely anxious, and disregarding Xu Chen's presence, immediately pressed for an answer:

"What happened? How did they end up in the police station for no reason?"

No wonder he got angry.

There was no way around it; Yan Mi was Hong Lang's senior partner... This wasn't a position, but rather a literal "senior partner."

The other party has shares in the law firm and a lot of resources. The entire law firm only has seven people. If something happens to them... it will be a devastating blow to the law firm!

"The police have given us a concrete charge...it's very serious!"

Zhou Ning calmed down and began to recount the events in detail.

"These are the crimes of harboring a criminal and perjury, with perjury being..."

He didn't go into much detail, but it was enough for the other party to know the specifics of what happened.

a long time.

After he finished speaking...

Yang Wei stared at the other man with a livid face and his lips tightly pressed together, like a zombie.

Perjury...

How could it be perjury?!

Yang Wei was somewhat bewildered, but after hearing the details of the case, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Zhu Dali recanted his confession, suspicion pointed to Sun Hu, anonymous whistleblowing, two previously unheard-of murders, courtroom jargon...

This...this is something a lawyer could do!?

Putting aside psychological manipulation, just the evidence that appeared out of nowhere... If this was really found by the other party themselves, their ability to investigate and collect evidence is absolutely phenomenal. Even if they were put in the police station, not many criminal police officers could rival them!

But the words came back again.

"How could there be such a lawyer in Yanzhou City?!"

Yang Wei couldn't help but speak up.

Zhou Ning said, "They're from out of town!"

Yang Wei was taken aback: "Out of town? Where? Beijing or Hangzhou? It can't be Haicheng, can it?!"

After hearing this, even Xu Chen became a little curious.

But... the moment the other person finished speaking, his expression froze.

"The defense attorney in the case of the Ninth Hospital in Midori City."

Zhou Ning said helplessly, having been beaten twice in a row, he was completely speechless.

"Call him Xu De!"

Xu De?

"Xu De!?"

Suddenly, Xu Chen frowned slightly inside the elevator and spoke subconsciously.

These words drew Yang Wei's attention, and seeing that he hadn't left yet, he frowned as well.

"Does Attorney Xu know him?"

Xu Chen said, "I guess you could say we know each other."

As he spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, his breathing became a little heavier, and he looked somewhat agitated.

I do know Xu De.

To be honest, after graduation... their internship was at the Jinjun Law Firm in Beijing!

At that time, Wang Cheng's team had two interns, one was himself, and the other was the other person.

As for my relationship with the other person...

While not exactly irreconcilable, they are certainly at odds, each representing an extreme of the other.

However, the other party left Jin Jun later, which prevented the conflict from escalating; otherwise... one of them would have been crippled!

Of course, if the other party hadn't left... then the person who currently commands such respect from Yang Wei would have been replaced by that person!

Do you know this person?

Yang Wei was somewhat anxious; if Yan Mi were to be lost, it would be a huge loss.

Xu Chen remained silent for a moment, then finally frowned and said:

"This person...holds a grudge."

"Attorney Yang, your firm must have made an enemy of him now... I'd like to remind you that you'd better keep an eye on him, otherwise that insurance case... the consultations and subsequent cooperation involved might be ruined."

"Well, if we want Attorney Yan to come out... it might also create an enemy."

A single case usually doesn't lead to enmity.

But Yan Mi's actions were certainly worthy of being called "mortal enemies"!

Putting aside everything else.

If you were Xu De, and your client was "killed" halfway through a case, could you tolerate it?

But the words came back again.

Yang Wei was even more astonished, and he said bluntly:

"The insurance company is hiring from three near-top-tier law firms and one large law firm!"

"Even if you have a deep-seated grudge, you'd still have to think twice before buying this stuff, right?"

They're practically in the red circle! Even the worst of them are in the top 50, and there are three of them! The top-tier lawyers are in the top 30... Only a crazy person would dare to challenge such a team!

"I'm just reminding you."

"Of course... I think you can also try to get revenge. For example, that anonymous witness is a pretty good angle."

Lawyer Xu Chen spoke truthfully, then shook his head and said nothing more. His heart sank slightly, and he felt somewhat irritated. He turned and left.

Watching his departing figure.

Yang Wei's expression turned serious. He paced back and forth, his breathing becoming somewhat anxious.

To be honest, he did want revenge.

Three months!

A senior lawyer failed to create any value for three whole months, wasting a lot of resources in the law firm. A case that could have been resolved in a month and a half was dragged out for three months and ended in a crushing defeat.

It also caused them to suffer heavy losses, and it's hard to say whether Yan Mi will be able to get out again.

Therefore, he could not find a reason not to retaliate.

But then again!

"Heh heh, Xu Chen, that venomous snake, is just like Wang Cheng. They truly are master and disciple!"

Yang Wei cursed under his breath, a cold glint in his eyes.

He did respect the other person, but it was only superficial respect.

The resources and money in their hands cannot be disrespected by anyone!

But that's all there is to it.

"Ha, trying to use me as a pawn..." Yang Wei muttered.

The other party most likely has a grudge against that Xu De.

You'd have to be crazy to help the other side get revenge on a highly capable lawyer!

As for whether the other party's tight security will implicate the law firm...

Yang Wei pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Heh, this is Haicheng."

This is Haicheng.

Whether you're a dragon or a tiger, once you get here, you have to obediently lie down!

A top-tier lawyer might be very successful outside, but in Haicheng, that's just the beginning. There's Hong Lang behind him, and above Hong Lang are the top-tier lawyers, near-top-tier lawyers, super-top-tier lawyers, and top-tier lawyers!

"However... Attorney Yan still needs to find a way to get him out."

Yang Wei's mind shifted, and he thought about it truthfully.

Senior partners are so important to law firms that one person can influence the dividends of all lawyer shareholders.

They absolutely must be retrieved!

As for whether the tight security measures would displease Xu De...

The thought only flashed through Yang Wei's mind for a few seconds before he dismissed it with a emotionless smile.

"The waters of the flood... are not so easy to probe!"

To see the whole picture through a small part; to understand the big picture from a small part.

Putting everything else aside, just look at that insurance company...

Three near-red circle firms and one top-tier law firm—what can the other side use to fight? Their sheer size is enough to crush them!

So... there's no need to worry!

"Xiao Zhou, could you contact the local judicial authorities in Yanzhou City for me in the next couple of days...?"

......

......

at the same time.

Green Forest City.

"Isn't this robbery?!"

Inside Baiyun Temple.

Lin Yue looked at Chen Jingshan beside her, her face full of shock, and she even forgot to eat the porridge she was holding.

Standing to the side, Xu De shook his head and said, "Robbing money isn't this fast."

Chen Jingshan recounted the case.

To be honest, the two of them initially anticipated that a case that could get four major law firms involved could not be small.

But I really didn't expect it to be this big!

Good heavens, they just robbed us outright!

In less than six months, the insurance company and the bank amassed at least 80 million yuan in cash through this scheme!

How many people would be involved?

"You don't have any thoughts?"

Chen Jingshan looked at Xu De gently.

After thinking for a moment, Xu De shook his head, "It's beyond our reach."

The explanation is very clear in four words.

The cases are too far removed from my own experience, and there are too many plaintiffs, making the situation chaotic. Even if I were to take on one, I wouldn't be able to make a significant impact.

"Hehe."

Chen Jingshan shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Xu De was not going to waste any more time. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall in the distance, then stood up and tugged at Lin Yue's ear.

"I'm off to work."

"I haven't finished my meal yet!"

"Pig Girl, don't eat breakfast. I'll make you something delicious for lunch."

"Uh-huh."

The two got up and left the cafeteria. Watching their backs, Chen Jingshan shook his head but didn't say anything.

After Xu De came out, he changed his clothes and then headed to the law firm.

It took about an hour.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Huoju Road, roadside, "Houde Law Firm".

"Squeak~"

The law firm's doors opened.

Upon opening the door, I looked up and saw four or five figures sitting inside. One of them was Qian Hao, who was sitting in the hall with a document in his hand. A middle-aged woman was sitting in front of him, and they were talking about something.

Hearing the door open, Qian Hao subconsciously turned around and glanced back. After a slight pause, his eyes lit up.

The only Homo sapiens in Green Forest City has returned home!

Qian Hao hurriedly got up and sincerely welcomed him:

"Director, you're back."

"Yes, I'll be back after I finish dealing with things in Yanzhou City."

Xu De nodded, then paused, the skill "Minecraft" flashing through his mind. He immediately changed the subject and said:

"Have you handled two civil cases in the last two days? Were the clients satisfied?"

Qian Hao asked with a surprised expression, "Attorney Xu, how did you know? It's true, it was done by Attorney Lu and Attorney Yang Bing."

Xu De nodded, thinking to himself: Sure enough, those inexplicable thank-you coins were provided by the lawyer.

He put his mind aside and looked at the person in front of him, a hint of hesitation on his face.

This is a woman, about forty years old, with above-average looks, an average figure, and simple clothes.

At this moment, the other person looked haggard, as if they hadn't slept for days and nights.

"This is..." he asked hesitantly.

Qian Hao said, "This is a client of the law firm, and the case he is handling is a criminal case."

Criminal case? Minor case or major case?

Xu De paused slightly. "What criminal case?"

Qian Hao continued, "The rape case!"

"Whom did you rape?"

Xu De glanced at the woman in front of him.

Qian Hao quickly said, "No, it's not her. This is Ms. Liu, and her husband is the defendant in this case."

The defendant? That's the 'rapist,' and this person is the rapist's wife?

That's true from a legal perspective, but in reality...

"Attorney Xu, this case is somewhat complicated."

Qian Hao's brows furrowed in seriousness, and after a moment of deliberation, he was unable to utter a word.

Xu De immediately understood, raising an eyebrow, "Is...there's a problem with the victim's side?"

Qian Hao nodded.

Xu De was even more surprised. "What's the victim's situation?"

"The victim is..." Qian Hao began, "...the defendant's daughter."

Xu De: ?

Just as he was about to ask something, he suddenly paused, realizing something, narrowed his eyes, and said:

"Born by blood?"

"Adopted."

Qian Hao shook his head, glanced at the woman, then turned and whispered:

"This case is suspected of being... a false accusation."

Fraudulent accusation of rape?

The adopted daughter falsely accused her adoptive father!?

Xu De's face showed surprise, and then his brows furrowed.

"How's the case going?"

"The procuratorate has already filed a public prosecution." Qian Hao shook his head.

What does it mean to file a public prosecution? Let's put it this way: once a public prosecution is filed, the conviction rate is... 99%!

talking.

Qian Hao's tone turned slightly somber as he added:

"The plaintiff is demanding compensation, and the other party... may have secretly reunited with their biological parents eight years ago, but has been demanding money from the defendant couple without their knowledge."

"It wasn't until they demanded the property that the defendant couple discovered this and stopped giving money to them. Within just three or four days... they reported it to the police and filed charges of rape!"

"This case..."

"This is tricky!"

As Qian Hao spoke, he paused slightly, looked at Xu De with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked.

"Director, do you have any ideas?"

......
