When Chang Pengfei went outside and saw Attorney Ouyang, he raised his hand and told him to leave.
"Please, Attorney Ouyang, I have no interest in representing you!"
Attorney Ouyang remained unmoved, and smiled slightly as he looked at the furious Chang Pengfei.
Attorney Ouyang apologized: "Mr. Chang, I admit I was wrong to begin with, but I still hope you can sit down and have a proper talk. After all, I can't explain myself without your cooperation!"
Cooperate my ass!
Chang Pengfei glared angrily. "Your cooperation is just so I can take the money."
Pshaw, my mom and my grandma could crawl out of their graves in the middle of the night!
Chang Pengfei was prepared to resolve the matter by force, but Attorney Ouyang remained unmoved.
Attorney Ouyang: "Before you fire me, would you be interested in hearing about a new case I recently took on, concerning your ex-fiancée, Ms. Wu..."
"Wu Minjun?"
"That's right. A client from Guangdong province knew that I was in Beijing recently for work, so he entrusted me with another case to sue Ms. Wu for fraud!"
Chang Pengfei's eyes widened. "Impossible! Wu Minjun is guilty of fraud?"
Attorney Ouyang: "The client has solid evidence, and Ms. Wu is likely in trouble this time. If Mr. Chang is truly worried about Ms. Wu's situation, I can consider mediating between the client and Ms. Wu, provided you cooperate with my work..."

The Wu family.
A group of uninvited guests stormed into the Wu family home, smashing things like madmen, showing no fear of causing trouble.
At first, the Wu family was furious and sent someone to find the neighborhood committee leaders to take charge. Unexpectedly, this group of people did not even give face to the officials. The neighborhood committee leader was pushed hard and twisted his ankle.
The Wu family immediately became obedient.
Did you accidentally offend someone outside?
At this moment, Sister-in-law Wu chimed in, "I think it must be because of Minjun. Everything was fine before she came back, but since she came back, there's been no shortage of problems every day!"
The Wu family took Wu's sister-in-law's words to heart and resented Wu Minjun, who happened to be out on business.
Wu Minjun was brought back by people sent out by the Wu family.
She was stunned by the state of her home.
Upon closer inspection, several of the people working for the child's father's ex-wife were among them.
Wu Minjun couldn't contain her anger any longer and rushed over to yell at them, "Who do you think you are?! How dare you come to my house and cause trouble? You're nothing but that woman's lackeys! I'm going to tell my husband about this right now, and he'll definitely not let you get away with it!"
There's an unspoken rule among the wives: they fight tooth and nail in private, but never bring it out into the open, because the scoundrel's family is extremely protective of their reputation.
Wu Minjun thought she could finally get the first wife out of trouble this time, but then she saw one of the leaders smile.
"Madam Wu, you don't know this, do you? This isn't something our mistress did to get angry; it's the master who ordered him to deal with you!"
The first wife hated Wu Minjun's son to the core, fearing that this illegitimate child would likely take away her children's inheritance in the future. After someone gave her a message, she devised a plan without hesitation to kill Wu Minjun and her daughter.
The original wife betrayed Wu Minjun, revealing that the son she gave birth to was the child of her former fiancé!
Those present were surprised by how the troublemakers addressed Wu Minjun—as Madam Wu, Mrs. Wu, and Master Wu. Did this mean that Wu Minjun had been doing something shameful outside…?
Wu Minjun had no time to care about any of that; her mind was completely occupied with the fact that the master had said he was going to punish her!
Wu Minjun rushed forward, her voice trembling with emotion, and shouted, "Master, why are you punishing me? What did I do wrong! No one has the right to punish me. I gave birth to a son for the Tong family. Master must have misunderstood..."
They said things they should and shouldn't have said, causing an uproar.
The leader pushed Wu Minjun aside: "Madam Wu, you're telling us this isn't true? If it's a decision made by the master, you should talk to him. Oh, and also, the master has sent the steward to follow up on this case. You have to return tenfold what you took from the Tong family!"
"The butler is here too?!"
Wu Minjun was completely flustered; this was going to be a huge disaster!
One wave subsides only for another to rise.
Police officers from the local police station arrived at Wu's home. The officers showed their identification and said, "Ms. Wu, you are suspected of a fraud case. Please come with us!"
An uproar erupted in front of the Wu family's house.
"No way, Wu Minjun looks like she's been doing something shady outside. People are coming to smash things up, and the police are showing up at her door. Has she committed murder and arson?"
"Maybe!"
"Do you think she is...?"
With conclusive evidence, Wu Minjun was detained, and her family members ran around like headless flies, arguing from morning till night.
Upon hearing this, Chang Pengfei nodded slightly. Lawyer Ouyang was absolutely right; Wu Minjun was in trouble.
However, this suited him perfectly.
Wu Minjun solved this problem herself, perfectly.
Attorney Ouyang came a few more times, but when he saw that things were not as he had expected, he couldn't help but feel discouraged. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like money that comes to them?
He finally understood why the order had been priced so high.
There are indeed people who don't like money that's handed to them on a silver platter!
Attorney Ouyang's time was precious, so he quickly returned to Hong Kong and terminated the contract with his client.
Because of the precedent set by Attorney Ouyang, this case became very well-known in the industry, leading to a tacit understanding that when cases were offered to them, they would evade them.
A few greenhorns who were new to the industry didn't believe in fate and traveled all the way to Beijing dreaming of making a fortune, only to return home dejected.
When Attorney Ouyang heard about this, he couldn't help but laugh. He had also become known as someone who didn't like money that was handed to him.
The money was too hot to handle; I didn't even dare to look at it.
