Synopsis

[One male lead] + [One female lead] + [Based on a real case] + [Legal education]

“Have you heard? That case where the business tycoon’s son beat someone to death just took a sudden turn today.”

A young lawyer was the first to break the silence.

“Oh? Tell us what happened. How did the case take a turn? Wasn’t he sentenced to death in the first trial?”

The middle-aged lawyer sitting opposite suddenly set down his coffee and leaned forward slightly. He was clearly very interested in the case and eager to hear more details.

“This morning, apparently, the victim’s family suddenly issued a letter of forgiveness to the other side.”

The young lawyer lowered his voice, as if revealing a earth-shattering secret.

“What? A letter of forgiveness? How could that be possible?”

The middle-aged lawyer looked astonished, clearly finding the news hard to believe.

“Is your source reliable? This isn’t just a rumor, is it?”

Several lawyers sitting nearby laughed and teased him.

“Absolutely reliable. You know Yao Dong from Daze Law Firm, right? He’s my senior from law school. He represents the victim. He called me today and complained at length, saying the other side’s lawyer was ruthless and had backed him into a corner. In the end, the family accepted five million in compensation and agreed to issue a letter of forgiveness.”

The middle-aged lawyer stared at the young lawyer in disbelief. “Yao Dong is one of the top criminal defense lawyers. Who’s the legal genius that managed to make him admit defeat?”

“My senior said the other lawyer’s name is Chen Chu, I think. He immediately spotted their weak point and left my senior caught between a rock and a hard place.”
