Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

The next day.

October 2nd.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Xu De got up early, washed up, ate breakfast, and then left his residence to go to work.

Reliving the long-lost life of cattle and horses, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This kind of life, where one is bossed around and treated like an ox, is somewhat nostalgic, but if he were to continue living like that... Xu De certainly wouldn't want to.

"I need to set up my law firm as soon as possible."

Xu De strengthened his resolve.

A law firm is not a personal shop.

In 2002, individual law firms were not yet established; he could only set up a partnership firm, which required at least three lawyers. This meant he needed to find two more lawyers…

"Oh right, leftovers."

Before leaving, Xu De suddenly remembered something, opened the door again, and took out a pile of food from the refrigerator.

He put it in a plastic bag, and then carried it outside.

The streets at eight o'clock were still chilly.

Most pedestrians walked silently alone on both sides of the road, while breakfast stalls along the roadside emitted white steam, and cars constantly shuttled back and forth on the road.

Xu De weaved through the crowd, and when he reached the entrance of an alley...

In a daze, a figure hiding in a corner at the end of the alley appeared in my eyes.

The figure was incredibly thin, practically skin and bones. His thin clothes were filthy, his hair was matted with grime, and his sunken eyes, hidden beneath his hair, were filled with vigilance.

The other person was squatting in thought, hunched over, looking more like a wary stray dog ​​than a human.

Xu De wanted to step forward, but after taking only two steps, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why is there someone else here?"

In front of the little beggar, squatted a...woman?

This is precisely why the other party is wary.

"Are you going to eat it or not? It'll get cold if you don't."

The woman was dressed simply, wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. She then spoke to the homeless man.

As she spoke, she handed over the breakfast she had bought.

The homeless man appeared to be around sixteen years old. Upon hearing this, he not only refused to accept the gift but also became more wary, subtly taking a step back.

The woman was surprised and puzzled.

until......

"Ahem!"

A voice sounded from behind, and Lin Yue tiptoed, crouched down, and turned around to look.

Then Xu De stood at the alley entrance and coughed at the beggar.

Lin Yue noticed that the other person was also carrying some groceries, and immediately understood that they had the same intention as her, so she kindly reminded them:

"He seems a little timid, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a dark figure swept past her and reluctantly walked up to Xu De.

Lin Yue's eyes showed surprise, and she was about to speak, but the next second, she was immediately astonished when she saw the person in front of her.

All I saw was...

"Squat down."

Xu De made a gesture and spoke to the child.

The child's eyes showed defiance, but looking at the hot dishes, he subconsciously swallowed and had no choice but to obediently squat down.

"Turn around," Xu De said again.

The scavenging child felt humiliated, but still squatted down and spun around in place.

Xu De was satisfied, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Eat."

After he finished speaking, the other person took the leftovers and gave him a resentful look.

He was about to turn and leave when Xu De called him back, his face serious as he said:

Did you say thank you?

The scavenging boy's face stiffened slightly, and he stammered, "Thank you!"

His voice was a little hoarse and somewhat immature.

Immediately, he turned and ran far away.

After feeding the animals, Xu De intended to leave immediately, but was stopped by a voice.

"Do you know that child?!"

Lin Yue stared wide-eyed at Xu De in disbelief, her expression somewhat strange.

At this moment, Xu Decai turned his gaze over, and after just one glance... he was slightly stunned.

Despite having lived two lives, there was no denying that the girl in front of him was stunningly beautiful.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry-red lips, skin as smooth as jade...

The other person even used a hairpin to style their hair into a bun, but the way they did it was unlike anything they'd ever done... it was more like the attire of a Taoist priest.

At this moment, the other person's beautiful eyes were filled with a strange look.

"What you just did..."

Lin Yue hesitated, wanting to say something but holding back. To be honest, she felt that Xu De had acted a bit like he was playing with a pet just now...

Xu De snapped out of his daze, steadied himself, and casually said:

"I don't know him, I've only met him a few times."

Lin Yue didn't believe it. She had also come into contact with the other party several times, and each time she would stay far away before even getting close, showing great vigilance!

She thought for a moment, then asked curiously:

"Why isn't he afraid of you?"

Xu De spoke up, "Maybe they hate me."

"Dislike?" Lin Yue asked in surprise. She stood up and asked suspiciously, "If he disliked you, why would he get close to you?"

"Because he needs to eat to survive."

Xu De spoke first, then explained:

"He's not stupid; he won't believe in kindness for no reason. But if I tease him or try to amuse him, he'll assume I'm just playing around, rather than having any other purpose."

Sometimes, excessive politeness and courtesy do not improve relationships.

Just as a deep friendship between two men can begin with an unintentional offense.

"I see!"

Lin Yue tapped her right hand on her left palm, suddenly realizing what was happening.

Xu De explained, "If you're too polite, he'll think you're after something... If you want to come and feed him in the future, just have him spin around a couple of times and perform a show for you."

"Or perhaps..."

Having finally met someone who also enjoyed feeding wild men, Xu De generously shared his feeding experience with them.

After a few words...

Lin Yue found the person in front of her increasingly strange.

However, admiration still shone in her eyes. She then looked at Xu De's suit and the name tag on his chest.

"Are you a lawyer?" Lin Yue asked curiously. "What field? Criminal or civil?"

Xu De frowned slightly; the other party was being a bit too familiar.

Considering that the other party was just a casual acquaintance, she tactfully replied, "A lawyer who is a paragon of morality."

Lin Yue:?

A lawyer who is a moral exemplar...

Lin Yue's eyes were strange as she recalled the "feeding process" from earlier... It was less about morality and more about a perverse sense of humor.

Xu De asked, "And you? Are you a Taoist priest?"

"You're half right; it's not just the Taoist priest."

Lin Yue nodded.

Xu De glanced at her bun hairstyle held up by a hairpin, and, with a hint of interest, crossed his arms and said:

"What is your name, Taoist priest?"

"You can call me..."

Lin Yue didn't hide anything, but she suddenly stopped herself from speaking.

The other party deliberately didn't tell us their name, yet they're still talking about being a moral exemplar...

After thinking for a long time.

Lin Yue suddenly had an idea.

She suddenly straightened her back, her plain white shirt billowing slightly at the chest, and then she spoke:

You may call me...

"The Nine Heavens Flying Dragon, Jade-Faced Thunder God, Universally Transforms All Beings, Subdues Demons, and Lives Forever True Lord"

Xu De: ?

......

......

"Is this person... so lucky in terms of their birth chart?"

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Inside the Jinmao Law Firm.

Xu De left the alley and arrived at the time clock on time. Although he was clocking in, the image of the woman in the alley who had made him feel dizzy was still in his mind.

He couldn't help but look surprised whenever he thought about it.

That's such a long string...

Can this birth chart suppress it?

"Never mind, I just gave her vague answers to her questions anyway, so it's normal for her to give me vague answers too."

Just as Xu Deru was thinking this, he had already walked into the hall.

He was about to walk to his workstation when, in a daze...

"Oh, Attorney Xu, I've finally waited for you! Stay a moment!"

Xu De stopped in his tracks and turned to look.

Then, Sun Hao, dressed in a suit, stood up from one side of the hall with a smile and slowly walked towards him.

That smile... like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's all ill-intentioned!

Xu De thought this to himself, but on the surface he remained calm and looked at him as he spoke:

"What brings Team Leader Sun to see me?"

"Of course there's good news!"

Sun Hao approached Xu De with a smile on his face, then changed the subject and said:

"Didn't Attorney Xu say before that he wanted to take on more cases to boost his performance record?"

"I was thinking, since I resolved that very tricky special consultation case for number 103 in such a short time yesterday, I've demonstrated the abilities befitting a top student!"

"And coincidentally, the institute assigned our group another criminal case."

"What a coincidence!"

Sun Hao smiled, seemingly genuinely concerned for Xu De, and said leisurely:

"I immediately handed the case over to you."

"How is it?"

"Do you have confidence?!"
