Striking his son... It truly hurt his own heart.

"I'm no great talent as your father, and I never expected you to achieve great things, but you can't ruin our family!" he lamented. "If you act this way now, what will happen when you grow up and join society? Won't you end up in prison? Do you really think no one can handle you? At home, your grandma and your mom protect you, but outside, no one will indulge you!"

With teary eyes, he repeatedly swung the Seven Wolves.

The screams grew louder and more pitiful.

"Do you realize your mistake?!"

"Do you realize your mistake?!"

"Do you realize your mistake?!"

With each strike, he asked again.

Zhang Linlin, hung upside down, was shedding tears non-stop, constantly begging for mercy.

For a moment, the child's screams and cries echoed around the 28th floor.

What surprised Zhang He was that, apart from his own son's screams, there were also screams from above and below their floor.

It seemed... they really had started fighting too.

But... his son's voice was particularly pitiful, the worst in the entire building.

「Meanwhile.」

「Jin City.」

「A certain law firm.」

After listening to Bai Shuirong describe the case, Qi ZhaoYu fell into deep thought.

In Bai Shuirong's description, her grandson was wronged; nine car owners and the property management had banded together to frame them. They had even extorted them repeatedly. In the first-round judgment, the court was deceived and sentenced them to pay 1.14 million.

"Lawyer Qi, you're a well-known lawyer in Jin City. You must find a way to help us..." Bai Shuirong continued, seeing Qi ZhaoYu remain silent. "My grandson is only six years old, how could he possibly scratch those cars? The other party demands 1.14 million right off the bat; it's no different from blackmail. With this lawsuit... if you take it on, you should be confident about winning, right?"

Qi ZhaoYu's mouth twitched, but he did not make any rash decision. Instead, he asked, "Do you have the judgment document?"

Bai Shuirong was stunned for a moment. She shook her head, "I... I forgot to bring it."

At the time of sentencing, the judgment document had been handed to them. She really had forgotten to bring it this time.

"No worries, the judgment documents can be found online," Qi ZhaoYu smiled and then turned on his computer. He entered a webpage and began to search.

Before long, he found the judgment document for this car-scratching case. It clearly recorded the course of events, the disputes between the plaintiff and the defendant, and all the evidence presented during the trial. Ultimately, it was determined that the facts were clear, there were no doubts, and Zhang He's side was required to pay compensation.

After reading it, he couldn't help but swallow and looked at Bai Shuirong with a complex expression.

Good gracious. The court's judgment was completely different from what Bai Shuirong had said!

There were only two possibilities for this scenario. One was that the court had made a wrong judgment. The other was that Bai Shuirong had twisted the facts, presenting a completely different "version."

"Lawyer Qi, how about it? Can you win this case?" Bai Shuirong, seeing him silent again, urgently questioned him.

Qi ZhaoYu's mouth twitched a few times. He said gravely, "The court's judgment document states that the opposing party provided full video evidence of your grandson scratching the cars. The property management also provided surveillance footage from the underground parking lot..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuirong immediately became indignant and extremely aggrieved. "Didn't I tell you? The property management is colluding with them! They're just trying to make us pay more. If you ask me, I should pay no more than ten thousand!"

As she spoke, she sighed and lowered her expectations, "Lawyer Qi, this time I'm not hoping to get the other party sent to jail. I just want to lower the compensation to ten thousand."

Qi ZhaoYu: "..."

The other party claimed 1.14 million, and she asked him to reduce it to ten thousand. This was even harder than winning the lawsuit! From the judgment documents, he saw clearly that the case was very straightforward, and the facts were determined very simply. The trial had ended in just half an hour.

To turn defeat into victory... there would have to be crucial new evidence.

"Evidence?" Bai Shuirong's eyes brightened, recalling the video that hadn't been used during the trial.

Then, she showed the video to Qi ZhaoYu.

After watching it, Qi ZhaoYu exhibited a puzzled look. He couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you present such a crucial piece of evidence during the trial?"

This video could provide a strong alibi. That is to say... the car scratching had nothing to do with Bai Shuirong's grandson. If the authenticity of this video wasn't a problem, then the case was almost certainly winnable! The opposing party couldn't possibly pin the blame on her grandson.

"Isn't that the fault of that lawyer?" Speaking of this, Bai Shuirong instantly became furious, unable to restrain her complaints. "I was blind to think that lawyer was competent, only to find he's useless in practice."

Qi ZhaoYu's mouth twitched slightly, as he reluctantly said, "Zhang Wei's expertise... is actually very high."

On the judgment document website, he had seen that the defense attorney for this case was indeed Zhang Wei! They had encountered each other many times. They were well aware of each other's strengths. For Zhang Wei not to have dared to present this video... it could only mean that there was something wrong with the video.

Combined with the "version" that Bai Shuirong had just narrated, he thought for a moment. He then declined to take on the case.

"I'm sorry, I can't take this case. You should seek someone else who is more capable."

His instincts told him... this case was extremely risky. Having practiced law for so many years, what he feared the most was clients stirring up trouble. He truly couldn't handle clients full of lies.
