"Aren't you... a non-litigation lawyer?"
Xu Wan was somewhat surprised.
She wasn't actually worried about finding an agent, but she never expected Jiang Tingzhou to offer to be her trustee.
“I used to be a litigation lawyer and I have handled several cases.”
Jiang Tingzhou had originally intended to recount what happened back then, but seeing Xu Wan's expression, he swallowed his words and asked instead, "What? You don't believe in my abilities?"
"Of course not," Xu Wan explained. "I just feel a little embarrassed that you're so busy with work and still have to worry about my affairs."
“You don’t need to worry about this. You just need to consider whether to ask me to be your agent,” Jiang Tingzhou said.
Xu Wan's heart stirred slightly.
She had only known Jiang Tingzhou for a short time and did not know much about his abilities in this area, but she trusted him completely.
This case is not difficult; the evidence is clear. The only uncertainty is how long the sentence will be and whether it will be suspended.
Seeing that Xu Wan didn't speak, Jiang Tingzhou said, "It's okay, take your time to think about it. It's fine if you don't choose me. I was just saying."
He didn't perform at his best in Xu Pingrong's case back then.
This time, he hopes to make up for some of the guilt he felt back then.
"If you have time to help me with this, then I'm counting on you," Xu Wan said earnestly.
Jiang Tingzhou freed one hand to hold the woman's left hand. "Don't worry, Attorney Jiang won't let you down this time."
Xu Wan did not understand the meaning of those words.

The next day, Xu Wan had just arrived at the law firm when she ran into Su Qiong in the break room.
"The elderly couple who caused trouble in front of our law firm that day have been arrested," Su Qiong said.
"Huh?" Xu Wan asked in surprise, "Are they those two who were bothering me at the door the other day?"
"I heard it from people in the industry. The two of them originally wanted to cause trouble at Tianwei Group yesterday, but they were taken away by the police as soon as they arrived at the door. They said that a few years ago, their son caused an accident and fled the scene, and his father took the blame. They were found out, and now they are looking for legal aid everywhere, but no one is willing to take the case."
Su Qiong finished explaining everything in one breath.
Xu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, "I see. They're locked up now, so they won't cause any trouble."
"Yes, people who do bad things will get their comeuppance sooner or later!"
Su Qiong saw that the hot water had boiled, so she started making coffee.
The law firm's coffee machine is a capsule coffee machine.
Su Qiong doesn't like to drink it, so she always brews it herself by hand.
She looked at Xu Wan, who was making coffee, and asked, "Xu Wan, I've heard about your situation. What are your plans for that case? Who will be your lawyer? How about I help you? Don't worry, I won't charge you."
With Jiang Tingzhou's help, the Su family recently secured a major project, and making money is only a matter of time.
She definitely can't accept money for helping Xu Wan.
Xu Wan didn't hide anything from Su Qiong: "Jiang Tingzhou said he would be my lawyer."
"Huh? Him? Is he okay? Does he have the necessary certifications? Don't you understand?"
Su Qiong was dumbfounded.
She had considered that Xu Wan might ask Jiang Tingzhou to help her find a famous lawyer as her representative, but she never expected Jiang Tingzhou to do it himself!
"He works in the legal department of Tianwei Group and is certified. Although he now focuses on non-litigation matters, he should have no problem winning this lawsuit."
Xu Wan explained on behalf of Jiang Tingzhou.
Su Qiong thought to herself: That was all a lie! Silly girl!
She didn't believe Jiang Tingzhou would file a lawsuit, but she couldn't expose him, so she simply said, "Then tell me on the day you file a lawsuit, and I'll make time to attend the hearing beforehand."
She wanted to see for herself how the president of Tianwei Group, an amateur, would handle a lawsuit!

Jiang Tingzhou went on a business trip today, and Xu Wan went home by herself.
The weather was nice in the evening, so she chose to take the subway home.
I had only walked a few steps when two thugs stood by the newly opened flower shop on the roadside, shouting at me.
"This place can't be used to open a flower shop! Tear it down immediately!"
"Didn't I already say that you have to pay money to open a flower shop, otherwise you can't open one!"
A stylishly dressed middle-aged woman stood in the store, protecting a boy who looked about six or seven years old. She seemed to be in a difficult position as she looked at the two thugs.
People were coming and going, but no one dared to come up and stop them.
Xu Wan walked over in a few steps, blocked the florist's path, and said loudly, "Your behavior constitutes extortion. If the amount is huge, you will be imprisoned for at least three years. I am a lawyer. I am giving you two choices: either leave now and never come back, or I will call the police and you will go to the police station to explain to the police."
