Chapter 699: Chapter 257 Jin City Lawyer: If I don’t get another case soon, I’ll have to change my profession!_4

For instance, there were telephone scams, health product frauds, free kitchenware giveaways, assistance with identity registration, and so forth.

"Xiao Qin, the police station has the results for that case. Someone’s coming to the entrance to pick me up. They want me to identify the person who was selling those health products. I won’t be back for lunch today."

"Old Song, wait for me! I’m also heading to the police station. I just reported a telephone scam the day before yesterday, and the police are looking for me too."

"How come all of you are being called to the police station? Why am I the only one dealing with the Consumer Association?"

"Xiao Qin, I won’t be coming back either. The kid who cursed at me the other day was caught by the police. The officers want to mediate, but no way!"

And so it went. From time to time, elderly people would come into the office to update Qin Mu on the latest developments.

Gradually, the focus of their dealings shifted from court bailiffs to local police officers. This was especially true for Old Zhang. Leveraging his wide network, he frequently visited the police station. It was said that he knew all the police officers there. Many elderly people needing to handle matters would drag him along.

Regarding this, Qin Mu also felt quite helpless. These elderly people were now thoroughly led astray by him. It was just tough on the local police officers. With Old Zhang and others around, they probably had to work overtime every night dealing with cases.

"Mr. Qin, the funds have been transferred to your bank account. Please check it."

In the afternoon, Qin Mu suddenly received a private message from the bank president, accompanied by a smiley face.

His expression brightened. Excitedly, he opened the app to check his balance. He found that his balance had reached a total of 120 million yuan. It was barely enough to meet a small goal.

Taking a deep breath, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself. Finally... I can pay the litigation fees. Handling these cyberbullying cases... is incredibly troublesome. One issue is the sheer number of people involved, making it complicated to pursue. The other is that the litigation fees are astronomical. The trolls come from all over the country, so it’s unrealistic to pursue every single one. Thus, many choose to sue only certain trolls. But suing a few trolls can’t deter everyone. Many internet keyboard warriors firmly believe they are exceptions and that the law doesn’t punish the masses. They troll one person today, then another tomorrow. Standing on the moral high ground satisfies their desire to critique and command. If it hadn’t been for the system... completing this feat would have been very difficult!

It’s just a pity... I didn’t trigger a system task this time.

Afterward, he opened the system panel and examined it closely. The current task status showed as empty. Since the settlement of the last task, no new task had been triggered. His Wish Value had now reached 700 points. If the next task could gather another 300 Wish Value points... he would be able to make a wish.

Having had the system for so long, he was extremely curious about the "Wish" function and wanted to know how truly game-changing it was.

「On the third day, the day before the trial.」

In a villa area in Jin City, Cheng Chuxiao politely greeted the two lawyers before her. These lawyers had been introduced to her by a friend. The legal fee for each lawyer started at fifty thousand yuan. She also had to reimburse their travel expenses to and from Jin City.

"Miss Cheng, we’ve both familiarized ourselves with the case details and worked overnight to analyze it thoroughly," one of the lawyers said after they exchanged glances. "The fifty thousand yuan demanded by the other party is indeed excessive, far exceeding the standard for ordinary civil compensation."

"Fifty thousand yuan for emotional distress? They might as well be robbing someone!" the other added. "We are 80% confident we can reduce the compensation to below twenty thousand yuan, and with luck, possibly down to ten thousand yuan."

The two spoke with full confidence, their faces practically screaming, ’You’ve hired the right people.’

However, Cheng Chuxiao’s expression darkened. "My legal fees for you both are a hundred thousand yuan, and you can only save me thirty thousand?" she asked, displeased.

She was not at all satisfied with this outcome. When she hired these two lawyers, she had hoped to win the case outright, or even make the other party pay damages! That way, her Binbin could finally rest in peace.
