4S dealerships were never easy places to deal with. Before buying a car, all sorts of promises and guarantees were made. After buying a car… it was all kinds of evasions and blame-shifting. There was simply no reasoning with them. As for giving away a maintenance package worth two hundred thousand, that was even more out of the question. At least when she bought her car, she hadn't encountered such a good deal.

In the Mountain and Water Garden District, Qin Mu thought for a moment and simply replied with a few words, "Maybe it's because those two maintenance workers have already been taken in."

After the message was sent, Qing Lan seemed to fall silent and didn't reply.

「At the same time.」

In Zizhou, as it approached eleven o'clock, Qing Lan was preparing to start her live broadcast. But she sat stunned in front of the camera, looking at the message from Qin Mu, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

When Qin Mu encountered this incident with the replaced automotive parts, she had thought she could lend a hand, sharing her previous methods for defending one's legal rights. However… Qin Mu didn't seem to value her approach at all.

The two maintenance workers were taken in?

Qing Lan stared at the line of text from Qin Mu, mulling it over. Obviously, Qin Mu had, yet again, escalated the case to a whole new level. What she had perceived as a civil dispute… had turned directly into a criminal case!

That was also why the 4S dealership had been so accommodating. They not only apologized but were also willing to provide a full refund plus three times the amount in compensation, proactively repair the car, and even include a luxury maintenance package worth two hundred thousand!

Such treatment… was not something an average person could expect to receive.

Truly worthy of being the content creator he is…

After a while, Qing Lan collected herself and expressed her sincere amazement. He only got the car yesterday, and today he had people taken in. She guessed the replacement parts hadn't even been sold off yet. And the 4S dealership was very astute, quickly conceding defeat without causing further trouble.

The material for her next video… was pretty much ready.

Actually, she was very curious about how exactly Qin Mu had managed to get the other party detained.

Forget it, it's time to start the live broadcast, she thought. Glancing at the time, Qing Lan suppressed her curiosity and began her daily live broadcast.

「The next day.」

At the Jin City Police Station. After dealing with company matters, Yu Zijin found some time to come here. He saw Niu Huan, who had been detained for a day.

"President Yu, bail me out, please! I've worked so hard for the company for so many years; if not for merit, then at least for my dedicated effort..."

Upon meeting, Niu Huan was particularly agitated and kept begging pitifully. In just one night, a few white hairs had appeared on Niu Huan's head, and he looked significantly more haggard.

Yu Zijin sighed softly and said earnestly, "Don't worry. The company has already hired a well-known defense lawyer from Jin City specializing in sentence reduction for you; he's a professional in this area. Once your arrest is formalized, he will come to discuss the defense details with you."

By doing this, Yu Zijin felt he had done all he could. Niu Huan was still in the detention and interrogation stage, so Yu Zijin was able to request a visit. But… once the arrest warrant was approved, the only person who could see Niu Huan would be his defense lawyer. No one else, including family, would be permitted to visit.

"This lawyer is very well-known," Yu Zijin said, looking deeply at Niu Huan. "When he heard you were brought in because of Qin Mu, he said he'd make every effort to defend you and strive for the maximum possible sentence reduction." He then added, "Remember to cooperate fully."

So that means I still have to go to court? Niu Huan thought, his expression somber, showing no trace of joy upon hearing this. Once he appeared in court, a sentence would be unavoidable.

"The company has already done everything it reasonably could, showing both justice and kindness. Considering you and Chang Yingcai are company employees, it even covered the lawyer's fees," Yu Zijin said, taking a deep breath. He continued, "For now, you and Chang Yingcai must cooperate fully with the police investigation and strive for leniency. If your family needs anything, you can let the lawyer know later."

His visit this time was mainly to ensure all personal obligations were met. He was afraid that Niu Huan, feeling cornered, might indiscriminately try to implicate others, causing unnecessary trouble for the company. This lawyer had also been recommended by the company's legal team. He was reputed to be highly professional in sentence reduction, and many lawyers in Jin City held him in high esteem.

"I've asked this lawyer about your crime," Yu Zijin said, observing Niu Huan's downcast silence. "The sentence is roughly between three and ten years. He believes he can get it reduced to five." He added comfortingly, "Once you're in prison, strive to behave well. You might get further reductions there, and you could be out in less than five years."

As soon as Yu Zijin finished speaking, Niu Huan's expression turned even more grim. He had never imagined… that simply replacing some parts would lead to such severe consequences.

His son was due in three months. If he was really sentenced to five years in prison, then his unborn son… wouldn't even see his own father at birth?

The thought of his wife having to struggle alone to raise their child… made him feel utterly miserable.

「Jin City.」

Legal Pioneer Law Firm. Zhang Wei had temporarily declined legal consultations and was sitting alone in his office, focusing on studying a new case.

This case… had been brought to him by the manager of a 4S dealership, requesting his defense services. It originated from the replacement of auto parts, a common issue in the automotive industry, and should have been a civil dispute. But the person involved… had ended up being detained on theft charges.

Upon hearing about the case, Zhang Wei's first reaction was that it had to be related to a certain individual. The style of handling things was just too familiar.

And sure enough, after Yu Zijin's explanation, it turned out that the car owner whose parts had been replaced was Qin Mu! After learning the full story, Zhang Wei decisively took on the case.
