Su Lin's lawyer refused pre-trial mediation, and there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides.

The court date was set immediately, just one week later!

When Su Lin learned from Song Yuhong that she would receive at least ten million yuan in assets if the trial went to court, all her gloom immediately vanished.

He suddenly felt much more energetic!

This is so much better than before, when I accepted several properties in my hometown that were worth only a little over a million yuan in total, and had to slink back to my hometown in the south!

It's as if she can already foresee the carefree days she'll enjoy as a multi-millionaire.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing!

If I had known that hiring a lawyer and going to court would be so easy, why would I have bothered with all that online public opinion and suffered for nothing?

For a moment, he wished he could worship lawyer Song Yuhong and be grateful to her day and night.

Upon receiving this good news, she naturally told her adoptive parents immediately.

The two old men, who were used to a life of poverty, were overjoyed to hear that they could get at least ten million and possibly a property.

He immediately urged Su Lin to go to the detention center to visit her younger brother Su Yao, who was about to be sentenced.

After all, Su Yao took all the blame this time, which secured a life of wealth for his family – that was the biggest project of all!

Su Lin naturally wouldn't forget her brother's contributions.

He immediately ran happily to the detention center to tell his younger brother the news that the trial was about to begin and that he would receive at least ten million yuan in assets, so that his life in prison would be more hopeful.

The detention center's visiting room.

Su Yao listened to his sister Su Lin's excited introduction while holding the microphone, but immediately frowned.

"What? After all that effort, there's only a chance of getting ten million?"

"What are you doing out there?"

"Lin Chu is so rich. She made a fortune from her new songs before I even got in. It must be worth more than ten million. How come you couldn't get your hands on her?"

"Ten million, and you give me 30%? That's barely a few bucks!"

Three million?

"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

"Three million isn't even enough to buy a decent house in a place like Beijing where land is incredibly expensive. What the hell makes you think you can agree to that for me?"

Su Lin had come excitedly to share the good news with her younger brother, thinking that he would be happy to hear such good news.

But to everyone's surprise, Su Yao reacted in this way!

This made her laugh in exasperation, and she immediately frowned.

"You still think three million isn't enough?"

"How many ordinary people can earn three million?"

"Let me tell you, you're lucky if you get any money at all. Don't be picky. You're not getting all three million at once. I have to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't gamble anymore!"

She originally planned to give 30% of her 10 million yuan in assets to Song Yuhong as legal fees, leaving her with very little.

Giving my younger brother 30% is already heartbreaking enough.

I didn't expect him to start complaining?

However, Su Yao was furious, gritting his teeth and staring at Su Lin with a vicious look.

"Su Lin, let me tell you, this little bit of money is definitely not enough!!"

"Do you know how many years I'd get if I memorized all the charges against me? It's very likely more than five years!!!"

"Five years!! You made me suffer for five years, and in the end I only get three million?"

"There are more than just this many beggars!"

"I don't care what method you use, you have to get me ten million. Otherwise, I have evidence of your involvement in money laundering. Don't pretend you don't know!"

"If I recant my testimony in court and hand it over to the court, I'll be in big trouble, and you won't be having an easy time either!!"

"You think sacrificing me will bring you happiness, huh?"

"I don't believe my parents would be willing to let me take only three million yuan. Absolutely not!!"

Su Lin was startled by his low, clenched warning.

Seeing her brother, who seemed to have gone mad, instantly extinguished her joy at coming to share the happiness. She couldn't understand what kind of suffering Su Yao had endured inside, as he seemed like a completely different person!

For a moment, her voice became somewhat hesitant.

"You, how dare you talk to me like that?"

"I'm your sister!"

"Don't forget, you're the one who got yourself into this mess, and who almost caused me to lose everything in the divorce!!!"

"If it weren't for your gambling and your lying to me, how could I have divorced Lin Chu?!"

"How could I have fallen to this state?"

"You're still trying to bargain with me? You're threatening me?"

"If you really send me in too, you won't even get the three million. And then your parents will be left without anyone to take care of them. You'd better think about what to do!"

The siblings started arguing through the glass; they were both very angry.

All that could be heard through the microphone were the two people breathing heavily; neither wanted to speak.

After a long silence, Su Yao was the first to calm down.

However, even with his teeth clenched tightly, the bulging veins on his forehead were still clearly visible.

"I don't care, three million is just too little."

"At least ten million!"

"My girlfriend left me, and I'm unemployed. Ten million is just the minimum compensation, not even enough for me to live on!"

"Isn't your lawyer capable of getting you all of Lin Chu's assets?"

"And his new songs, all the houses, and child custody!"

"Don't you even want custody of Mai Mai anymore?"

Hearing his greedy words, Su Lin was so angry that her eyes almost went black. Helplessly, she frowned and began to explain to him.

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"If I really had a way to make Lin Chu leave with nothing and give me all her money and assets, wouldn't I have done it already?"

"Isn't it you who said you'd make me go on some divorce reality show to influence public opinion, so that he'll feel guilty and leave with nothing?"

"And then what happened?"

"What's the point besides making me look bad and get scolded?"

"It even made Lin Chu lose all feelings for me, completely break off all ties with me, and she's now determined to make me leave with nothing!"

"What the hell else do I have to do?"

"A lawyer? You really think lawyers are omnipotent?"

“Unless Lin Chu doesn’t show up in court at all and is dead, he has no parents, no siblings, and left no will. Only then, as his still-married wife and Mai Mai’s biological mother, would I have any chance of inheriting all his property, including the copyrights to those new songs!”

"You're really obsessed with money, how could that be possible?"

Su Yao was initially frustrated, feeling that there was no hope.

Upon hearing these words, a sudden thought struck me, and a bold idea popped into my head.

"Wait, wait a minute, what did you just say?"

"Yes, yes!"

"If Lin Chu is gone, then you and the child will be the only heirs, and all his property will return to you!"

"Even if he made a will, who else could he leave it to besides his children?"

He only has one daughter, and she only has you as her mother!

"Won't all that money be yours then?"

"If we just make Lin Chu disappear and prevent him from filing a lawsuit, wouldn't that solve everything?!"
