Qin Fengying sent Wu Ma and Butler Xu out, sat in the living room, her face darkening, and made a phone call.

Have you investigated that person?

"What? You can't find it? You're a lawyer, and you have his authorization. There's nothing you can't find!"

"You charge me such high legal fees, is this how you do your job?"

She lowered her voice and vented all her frustrations at once.

The veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and even the blood vessels under his eyes had become more prominent.

Hearing the humble explanation from the other end, she sighed and slowly sat down, holding onto the sofa armrest.

“Attorney Qiu, you were recommended to me by the company's legal team, and I haven't treated you unfairly. I hope you'll put more effort into this matter…”

Qin Fengying always felt that Lu Han cared too much about Fan Tong.

I've been busy with this and that for the past few days and haven't had time to review what happened.

Last night, when things quieted down, I unintentionally saw a family photo taken last year, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in my heart.

Just like... being jealous.

If a child you raised is so concerned about others, wouldn't any normal person be wary?

That's why she thought of asking Attorney Qiu to investigate Fan Tong's background.

Unexpectedly, this lawyer Qiu was so ineffective; he couldn't find anything.

Beside Attorney Qiu, Du Guanglong wore a cold smile, making no attempt to hide his contempt for the Lu family.

“Of course, Mrs. Lu. I have some business to attend to outside right now, and I happen to be heading back to Jiangzhou today to see Mr. Fan. If you don’t mind…”

He paused slightly and glanced at Du Guanglong.

Clearing his throat, he continued, "How about I convey your good intentions directly to Mr. Fan? After all, he is Young Master Han's friend. If he knows that you helped him behind the scenes, he will definitely be grateful."

"Need not!"

Qin Fengying refused outright.

The Lu family has some wealth and more complex social connections than ordinary families, but they haven't gone so far as to associate with thieves.

Lu Zhengming didn't explicitly stop Lu Han from helping Fan Tong, but he was just giving Lu Han face.

He certainly didn't want this convict to appear at his doorstep one day.

"Let's stick to what we agreed before and just tell him that Lu Han contacted you."

Attorney Qiu readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, he exchanged a punch with Du Guanglong.

"Although Fan Tong didn't say it explicitly, the requests he made sounded like he was instructing his son. Brother Long, your guess is pretty much right."

Du Guanglong looked at the unremarkable, sleazy lawyer, put his arm around his head, and gave him a quick kiss on the forehead.

"Let the evidence speak for itself. This matter is entrusted to you!"

Attorney Qiu touched his wet forehead. "No, Brother Long, how am I supposed to handle this?"

Du Guanglong snapped his fingers.

"Find a way to get it done! Then we'll get you into the Huo family's in-house legal team. Is that a good deal?"

"Old Du, are you using threats and inducements again?"

Before Du Guanglong could finish speaking, Lu Yi's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door.

Old Wang, who was sitting to one side, jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the door. "Young Master Yi, what brings you here?"

Dongzi, carrying two large bags of fruit, nodded to Lao Wang and said, "Hello, Brother Wang!"

Old Wang was flattered and accepted the fruit, then ushered the two inside.

"You're here, why did you bring all this..."

He was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and his comical appearance made everyone else both laugh and cry.

Lu Yi went up and hugged him.

"Uncle Wang!"

Old Wang nodded hurriedly.

Attorney Qiu had heard of Lu Yi's name many times, but this was the first time she had met him in person.

From the moment I heard his voice, I stared intently at the doorway.

Upon seeing Lu Yi, she went up to him and said, "Young Master Yi, welcome!"

He reached out and gripped Lu Yi's hand tightly.

When Qin Fengying approached him, he was unwilling to take Fan Tong's case, as going against the government meant certain defeat.

Although he is not a top-tier lawyer, he doesn't want to drag down his score with a high failure rate.

Du Guanglong told him the whole story, and he finally understood what a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity this was for a grassroots lawyer like him.

"And this is...?"

Lu Yi frowned.

Du Guanglong made a face. "Fan Tong's lawyer is here to ask for your opinion!"

The group looked at each other, then burst into laughter.

...

Liang's mother is still struggling with the house issue.

"That idiot, he buys it just because someone lowered the price. That means nobody wants it anymore, and the seller is desperate to cash out!"

"How come I never realized he was a bit dim-witted before? Xiaoyue, let me tell you, once you get into university, you'll meet all sorts of outstanding guys."

"Lu Yi is definitely not going to make it. This time it's not because of his status as a young master, but because of this..."

She sat cross-legged on the bed and patted her head.

Young in age, but ambitious.

I used to think he was a reliable kid, but I never expected him to become more and more outrageous.

Those dilapidated houses have no advantages other than taking up a large area.

But the landlord clearly told him that it was not allowed to build a new house in this kind of place, so how could he use such a large space?

Are you suggesting that my daughter should live there with her children in the future?

That's not as comfortable as a large apartment in Jiangzhou!

"Mom, what's wrong with you!"

"If it's bought in your name, you complain; if it's bought in my name, you still disagree. He's buying it for himself, so why are you being so picky!"

"First, he's not your son; second, he's not your son-in-law. To put it bluntly, he has absolutely no relation to you now!"

The verbal battle between the mother and daughter escalated once again.

Liang's mother picked up a pillow and threw it directly at her daughter.
