A child is brutally bullied.
At the Public Security Bureau, the bullies' parents laugh arrogantly: “Our child is a minor, so they won't go to jail. At worst, we'll pay a hundred or two hundred thousand!”
But Tang Ruowei, the lawyer representing the victim, is accused of doing nothing. More than a hundred thousand people watch as she is publicly harassed in a livestream.
The internet erupts in abuse: “Shameless, corrupt lawyer!” “A vulture feeding on other people's blood!”
Facing a flood of online hate, Tang Ruowei strides in wearing eight-centimeter red-soled heels.
“If tears and moral condemnation could decide a case, why would we need a legal code?”
One of the villainous parents waves a 500,000-yuan check, trying to settle the matter privately. Tang Ruowei tears it up in front of the entire internet and throws the pieces in their face.
The internet thinks she's gone mad. Her enemies think she's just throwing a tantrum out of helpless rage.
Then the trial begins. Tang Ruowei takes command of the courtroom, turning into a logic grinder and crushing the opposition with one legal provision after another!
“The criminal law may not be able to punish minors, but it can punish a bunch of old beasts like you!”
“I'm not suing over the minors' bullying. I'm accusing these three parents of suspected evidence destruction and perjury!”
With a single lawsuit, the properties and vehicles owned by three nouveau-riche families are all frozen, leaving them bankrupt!
The gavel falls. The three pairs of arrogant parents are convicted of multiple crimes and sent to prison!
The formerly arrogant teenage bullies are suddenly penniless orphans, with both parents behind bars and an enormous debt hanging over them!
The internet is stunned, and public opinion swings sharply in the other direction!
The hashtag #TheWholeInternetApologizesToTangRuowei instantly explodes across the trending topics. Countless former haters beg Lawyer Tang in tears to livestream lessons on the law!
Tang Ruowei adjusts her gold-rimmed glasses. “Don't try to guilt-trip me with morality. I believe only in evidence and the legal code. Ready to lose everything?”
The law is never perfect, but it's the only blade we have to fight the darkness
This is the kind of legal novel I like to read. The story process is exciting, the reasoning is rigorous, and it is very enjoyable to read. It's not like some novels, which repeat long paragraphs of laws and regulations to make up the word count. It's so boring. I just abandoned one before this and barely read 10 chapters.
It is a very idealistic novel. Although it is a bit unreasonable, it is indeed very refreshing to read. Not bad!
Well, it's an ideal state of law, but who doesn't like to see plots about punishing evil and promoting good? After all, you and I are all mortals.
Nice! What a joy to watch!
Although it is very idealistic, it is very enjoyable to watch.
