Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

Chapter 176: If my friend ever needs punishing you'll be the first I recommend_4


But this time... all three defendants received increased sentences. No, to be precise, Niu Huan and Xiang Wanbin were the ones whose sentences were increased. Chang Yingcai's sentence was about what had been estimated before he confessed to his crimes.

"Six years! Just thinking about him being in prison for six years makes me incredibly happy. This is all thanks to Lawyer Zhang. You absolutely must take this fruit..." Xiang Wanbin's wife was beaming, insisting on expressing her gratitude. Ever since she arrived, her face was no longer etched with deep bitterness but instead showed complete relief.

Zhang Wei said, "...This really has very little to do with me."

Listening to Xiang Wanbin's wife, he couldn't help but feel she was trying to damage his professional reputation. What in the world made her think it was all his doing? He had merely pointed something out because he couldn't bear to see Niu Huan continue to be deceived. The rest... had been entirely Niu Huan's own decision.

"Lawyer Zhang is being modest." Xiang Wanbin's wife smiled and continued, "Actually, I came today because there's another matter I'd like to consult Lawyer Zhang about. I want to get a divorce. Now that Xiang Wanbin is in prison, can I still proceed with it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei's expression turned serious. After a moment of thought, he answered, "He's currently detained in the detention center, so you can't divorce him yet."

"I suggest you wait until he's transferred to prison. Then, you can visit him and request a divorce by mutual agreement."

"If he disagrees, you can petition the court for a court-ordered divorce."

The detention center is different from a prison. During detention, no one except lawyers is allowed to visit. This applies both before and after the trial; no visits are permitted. Only in prison are relatives allowed to visit.

"And a court-ordered divorce... that falls under the category of litigious divorce. If a couple's relationship has irretrievably broken down, either party can file for divorce."

"So that's how it is." Xiang Wanbin's wife looked thoughtful and then asked, "In that case, Lawyer Zhang, could you represent me in this lawsuit?"

Zhang Wei's mouth twitched. He immediately refused, "I'm sorry, our law firm only handles criminal cases, not civil cases."

Xiang Wanbin's wife looked slightly disappointed upon hearing this. In her view, Zhang Wei's abilities were astounding. He specialized in getting sentences increased. If he helped with a divorce case... he'd definitely succeed.

「Zizhou.」

At nine o'clock at night, in a high-end residential area, Qing Lan was comfortably lying on the couch, watching her TV series. Suddenly, she saw a flood of messages popping up in her follower group. Her followers were tagging her.

"Sister Lan, stop lurking and show yourself! Something big has happened!"

"Shocking! Thirteen-year sentence for replacing car parts!"

"A couple of years ago, my cousin's car parts were also replaced. I confronted them using the Three Guarantees Law, and I only managed to get them to refund the cost and pay triple that amount in compensation. The UP is truly on another level!"

"This angle for reporting to the police and filing a lawsuit is so unconventional; most people would never think of it!"

"..."

In the follower group, the message count quickly shot past 99+.

Qing Lan was stunned for a moment. After skimming through the messages, she realized Qin Mu had uploaded a new video.

Is there a follow-up? she wondered, her eyes brightening as she blinked.

She had added Qin Mu as a friend and already knew he had run into this kind of trouble. Back then, she had even suggested several ways for him to defend his rights. But... Qin Mu hadn't seemed interested in any of them. He had directly gotten the person sent to prison. As for his method, Qin Mu hadn't revealed it beforehand, saying it needed to be kept confidential.

Burning with curiosity, she opened Little Station and navigated to Qin Mu's homepage, where she saw the latest video.

The video's title read: 'Beyond the Three Guarantees Law: Another Legal Remedy for This Behavior!'

Don't tell me... it's criminal law? Qing Lan swallowed nervously.

She clicked on the video and started watching. Nine minutes later, it ended.

She stared at the screen, speechless for a long time after the video finished. Theft! It took her a while to process this unconventional angle.

Theft was a relatively common crime. But... it wasn't just her; many ordinary people who encountered situations like replaced car parts wouldn't think along those lines.

Only Qin Mu could find such an ingenious angle.
