"We are willing to compensate..."

Inside the room, two men in suits, in the presence of a notary, were still speaking when...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the door on one side was kicked open.

Lawyer Zhang Wei paused, frowned, and turned to look at the door.

Xu De and Sun Zhigang stepped into the house.

Sun Zhigang's face showed anger. He looked around with a gloomy expression.

There were four people in the room: two lawyers, a woman in uniform, and finally, 14-year-old Yang Huan, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down and looked somewhat gloomy.

"Who the hell let you in?!" Sun Zhigang yelled at the two lawyers.

What I overheard at the door just now...

This was clearly an attempt to induce Yang Huan to sign the letter of understanding!

"You must be Mr. Sun."

Zhang Wei, however, did not show any strong emotions. Instead, he smiled slightly, stood up, and said:

"Hello, I am Zhang Wei, a lawyer from Zhenghe Law Firm, and also the defense attorney for the defendant Liu Jingqi."

"You may have misunderstood something; we did not come here privately..."

As he spoke, Zhang Wei pointed to the silent woman in uniform beside him.

"This is a staff member from the Civil Affairs Bureau, acting as Yang Huan's state guardian. Our conversation was conducted under the witness of a notary."

The words were spoken.

Sun Zhigang looked at the civil servant who was the state's guardian.

The other party shook their head with a worried expression, but did not deny it.

The state has clearly stipulated that in cases where parents are deceased and there is no guardian, the official civil affairs bureau shall appoint a state guardian, and the lawyer shall negotiate with the guardian in the presence of the other party in order to comply with the regulations.

Sun Zhigang's face immediately turned ashen. After holding back for a long time, he roared:

"roll!"

Zhang Wei smiled, not angry, but simply stood up and said:

"We hope the person involved can think it over carefully. We'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Zhang Wei left with his assistant, glancing at Xu De before leaving.

Only Yang Huan's state guardian, He Miao, remained in place.

"You get out too!" Sun Zhigang shouted angrily.

He Miao first let Yang Huan silently enter the bedroom.

Then she looked at Sun Zhigang, her face serious, and said, "I am the state's guardian, and according to the law, my rights are higher than yours!"

"Mr. Sun, please control your emotions. You are just... Zhao Li's boss, not her relative."

"you!"

Sun Zhigang was furious, but he couldn't say anything. He could only grit his teeth and speak.

"You think you're qualified to be a guardian? What was that person doing just now? Making Yang Huan sign a letter of forgiveness!"

"I know!"

He Miao was also a little angry, his hands clenched tightly, and his voice was somewhat loud.

"I know, Zhao Li and Yang Jiale are both...gone."

"Yang Huan needs to be angry, he needs to be furious, and he needs to get justice. He should fight Liu Jingqi to the death!"

"You keep talking about morality, ethics, emotions, and justice, but..."

As He Miao spoke, he took a deep breath, released his grip, and looked distressed.

"We have to be realistic."

"Even if you pursue criminal charges, Liu Jingqi will only get a maximum sentence of 15 years, with a high probability of a 12-year reduction, and even a very high probability that she will serve less than ten years!"

"And what about Yang Huan? Zhao Li is gone, and Yang Jiale is gone too."

"He's only 14 years old, there's no compensation, tell me how he's going to live?!"

Sun Zhigang felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak.

The other party's understanding is quite clear: under the current conditions, pursuing criminal charges to the end is meaningless, and Yang Huan still has to face the realities of life.

Zhang Wei was willing to offer a huge sum of compensation in exchange for a letter of understanding, which would reduce Liu Jingqi's sentence by two years (which wouldn't have much impact)... and would be of more substantial help to Yang Huan.

In other words, survival priority is greater than emotional willingness.

Most importantly, from He Miao's perspective, his emotional desires simply cannot be fulfilled!

"I'll take care of him."

Sun Zhigang then said, "I have money!"

"Can you support him for life? Can you take full responsibility? No! Only Yang Huan himself can take responsibility."

"I'm not willing to entrust Yang Huan's future to your verbal promise, which carries no responsibility whatsoever!"

He Miao shook his head.

The two argued fiercely, each with their own valid points.

Xu De ignored the two of them.

He shifted his gaze to the bedroom, then stepped forward and slowly walked past the two arguing people.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Yang Huan sat at the foot of the bed, expressionless. He stared blankly at the wall in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.

Xu De stood beside him, looking down at him. After a long while, he suddenly spoke:

"Yang Huan, I am your civil litigation agent."

I heard a sound.

Yang Huan finally snapped out of his daze, looked up, and stared blankly at Xu De.

"Zhao Li is gone, and Yang Jiale is gone too."

Xu De suddenly spoke, stating the current situation in the most concise way possible, while looking at the other person expressionlessly.

"You can seek compensation or pursue legal action; I support you either way."

"Now, you can tell me your thoughts."

The words were spoken.

Yang Huan opened his mouth, his lips moved slightly, and he swallowed hard, as if he wanted to say something.

But the next second, he suddenly felt his lips were a little wet. Yang Huan reached out and touched them, only to find that, without him even realizing it, two lines of tears had rolled down his cheeks.

For those three days, he was like a ball, a puppet on a string, huddled in a corner, being kicked around by others at will.

This was the first time someone had asked for his opinion.

This moment.

14-year-old Yang Huan could no longer hold back her tears, which flowed like a burst dam, collapsing and surging.

"I...I want her dead..."

Yang Huan pressed his head against Xu De's abdomen, as if he were about to vomit his soul out, and he hysterically said:

"I don't want money..."

"Please... I just want her dead!!!"

The words were spoken.

Yang Huan broke down and wailed, as if she were howling her soul out, her snot and tears soaking through Xu De's only suit.

He didn't seem to mind, patted his head with his left hand, took out his phone with his right hand, and dialed a number.

"Beep beep beep~"

The call was connected.

Xu De said slowly:

"We've got work..."

"Tough work!"

......

......

"So..."

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The residential area where Yang Huan lives.

Wang Chao, who had rushed over, stood at the gate, pointed to himself, and showed a surprised expression.

"Me? Hitting a minor?"

After saying that, Wang Chao laughed at himself.

Xu De shook his head and corrected, "It's us."

Lin Yue, standing to the side, covered her forehead and sighed, "More or less."

She knew the other person was bold.

But I never imagined they could be this bold!

They dared to take this case... especially since it involved three minors sharing responsibility!

However... the other party was clearly not a reckless person.

Lin Yue raised her head, frowned, and said:

"You didn't call us over just to chat, did you?"

"How do you plan to fight?"

Xu De nodded and began to explain his thoughts.

"There are suspicious circumstances surrounding Yang Jiale's death."

Wang Chao asked in confusion, "It wasn't Liu Jingqi who killed her? There were signs of bullying on the rooftop..."

"No, what I mean is, there's something fishy about the reason why this bullying is happening!"

Xu De shook his head and corrected him again.

"I asked Yang Huan and Sun Zhigang."

"Yang Jiale is a normal girl. She's not weak-willed or withdrawn. Logically speaking... she might not tell Zhao Li, but she would definitely go to the teacher!"

"And it's not hard to see from the police's investigation on the day of the incident."

"The defendant Liu Jingqi's behavior was different from the past and was more outrageous. Moreover, the outrageous behavior was directed at Yang Jiale and was not simply an emotional outburst."

"This is very abnormal."

Countless bullying cases show that perpetrators may act with impunity because of the victim's weakness, but... they are more likely to escalate the bullying because of the victim's resistance!

"You mean... Yang Jiale resisted?"

Wang Chao was puzzled.

"Yes, but not quite. At the very least, there's a high probability that she didn't resist the perpetrator, Liu Jingqi. If that's the case, then there's only one answer left."

Looking at the two of them, Xu De's expression was serious, but his thoughts were clear. He said:

"There's something wrong with Lu Guangjun, the homeroom teacher of Class 4!"

Given the long-term nature of the bullying, Lü Guangjun could not possibly have been unaware of it.

But he never stopped it.

Combining the above speculations about the causes of the conflict, then...

Lin Yue instantly realized what the other person meant, but because she realized it... she was immediately taken aback.

"Is Lü Guangjun involved? It was he, as her teacher, who told Liu Jingqi about Yang Jiale's complaint?!"

"The probability is very high!" Xu De said.

In this case, Zhang Wei's intention is undoubtedly to exonerate Liu Jingqi and treat the case as "accidental death."

Let alone intentional homicide, even intentional injury would likely be denied outright, with most likely saying things like "it was just a joke" or "it was an accident."

and so.

His first step is to...

"Convict Liu Jingqi!"

Conviction is difficult because there were no other eyewitnesses at the scene, and apart from the victim's body, there was little evidence on the rooftop indicating intentional homicide.

So, if the homeroom teacher, Lü Guangjun, really has a problem...

He is an excellent breakthrough point!

so.....

Thinking of this.

Xu De recalled Yang Huan in his mind, his expression gradually hardening, and he said coldly:

"Start by killing him!!!"

Lin Yue was startled and became serious.

"How do we kill him?"
