Chapter 11: No Choice, He Paid Way Too Much!

If he had previously thought that the person who bought the account had topped it up with one million after the purchase, then now Liu Xu really couldn't understand what the other party was doing.

"No, Lawyer Wang, do you mean that he only topped it up after I retrieved the account? This, isn't this insane? What on earth is he thinking!"

Knowing full well that he was about to retrieve the account, yet still topping it up with one million—Liu Xu simply couldn't fathom it.

He couldn't fathom it, and in fact, when Lao Wang had just learned of this news, he couldn't fathom it either!

Looking at Liu Xu, Lao Wang said helplessly: "How could this be insane? Liu Xu, you should be able to figure it out. You performed the account retrieval operation, yet the other party countered by topping up one million. What is this? This is increasing the value of the account!"

"Do you know why the action was so swift this time? It was because of this one million. This is not a small amount, you understand? If you had seen such high value on the account after logging in and immediately contacted the other party, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but you didn't!"

"Instead, you treated that account as your own property and went around showing it off. This point has already been confirmed by your friends. This evidence is very unfavorable to you, you know!"

Lao Wang was also helpless now; he didn't know what that account buyer was thinking either. Doing something as redundant as taking off one's pants to fart was something they could actually pull off.

The account was retrieved, and they countered by topping up one million. What was the purpose? Looking at the current situation, it seems it was just to send Liu Xu to eat prison food!

Just for this? Just to top up one million?

Getting a refund is impossible. They aren't a person without or with limited capacity for civil conduct. As a normal person, once a top-up is made, it is basically impossible to get a refund.

So, at such a great cost, they just wanted to put Liu Xu in jail?

This... Lao Wang had been a Lawyer for so many years, and this was the first time he had seen such a miraculous operation!

Liu Xu finally reacted and blurted out: "Then, Lawyer Wang, does his behavior count as entrapment? I clearly already..."

Lao Wang was truly speechless: "What entrapment? The other party isn't a law enforcement officer. Your situation is very unfavorable. Alright, that's enough for today; I need to go back and discuss this with your parents."

After saying this, Lao Wang left directly; he really didn't want to stay there any longer.

Moreover, there was nothing left to ask by staying; this case was frighteningly simple to describe.

The current plan is to prioritize obtaining a Letter of Forgiveness. Although the amount involved in this case is large, it did not cause any Serious Consequences, and the social harm is not too great.

So if a Letter of Forgiveness can be obtained, the situation will definitely be different.

However, it was already very late, so Lao Wang went home to rest, and the next morning, he arrived at the hotel room where Liu Jianguo and his wife were staying.

At this moment, Liu Jianguo and his wife were already like ants on a hot pan. They were strangers in a strange land here and had no channels for information at all.

Therefore, they were very enthusiastic to see Lao Wang enter.

"Come, come, Lawyer Wang, sit down, sit down. Let me pour you a glass of water," Zhou Chun hurriedly greeted him.

Lao Wang waved his hand and said: "No need to trouble yourself, I'm not thirsty. I already went to see your child yesterday. I have already understood the general case, and I will tell you about it now."

"Actually, it's like this..."

Liu Jianguo and his wife were very moved by Lao Wang's efficiency. It had only been one day, and he had already seen their son and clarified the case.

However, as they listened, confusion appeared on both of their faces.

"Lawyer Wang, so this actually means that Xiao Xu sold his account to another person for five hundred, and then because the game Company implemented Real-name Registration, he retrieved the account through that method?"

"And because there is a safety period for retrieving an account, that person topped it up with one million directly? This, this is deliberately setting a trap for Xiao Xu, right!"

After all, they were older and had seen a lot. Before, it was just because they were unfamiliar with the internet, but now, after hearing Lao Wang's explanation, Liu Jianguo saw it clearly in an instant.

Lao Wang nodded and said: "You can think of it that way, but the root cause lies in Liu Xu retrieving the account, and he even blacklisted the other party when they called and sent messages, which is what made the other party furious enough to top up directly."

"But is there no problem with the other party doing this?" Liu Jianguo asked after thinking for a moment.

He didn't mention entrapment, but he vaguely felt that such a top-up, made with the knowledge that the account was about to be retrieved, shouldn't be right.

Lao Wang shook his head and said: "You all can go and check. There was a case like this before. Someone was scammed out of one hundred thousand. After that one hundred thousand was transferred, he realized he had been scammed."

"But he felt one hundred thousand was too little and worried that the Public Security Bureau wouldn't take it seriously, so he pretended not to know and transferred another three hundred thousand. And guess what the result of this case was? The forty thousand was used as the standard for sentencing."

"I say this to tell you that no matter when the other party topped up, the point is that your son, Liu Xu, did not return the account when he retrieved it and discovered its high value; instead, he kept it for himself!"

"This situation is already a crime. Don't even think about being innocent; that's impossible. This case is actually very simple, so the top priority is to obtain the other party's forgiveness."

"And the two of you must be prepared to compensate the other party!"

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't sit still again, and Liu Jianguo beside her quickly grabbed her.

"Okay, Lawyer Wang, please go ahead and contact the person. We will pay whatever compensation is needed, as long as the other party can provide a Letter of Forgiveness."

Lao Wang nodded and then left. He was already starting to regret taking this case.

The case was simple and clear. In fact, it was difficult for a Lawyer like him to show his skills in such a case because all the evidence was sufficient and clear.

Even a layman could see it at a glance.

Sigh, who told them to pay so much... I'd better go find that buyer first.

To tell the story from another perspective, on the other side, Zhou Yi felt a bit strange.

Ever since he was asked that question by the director last time, everything had been wrong. In the Company, the director was nitpicking at everything; as long as there was the slightest flaw, he would get a scolding.

He didn't curse, but he would say some snide, sarcastic things that made people very uncomfortable.

And the most critical thing was that he would often arrange work right before getting off work and then ask Zhou Yi to hand it over as soon as he arrived at work the next day.

This disguised form of overtime made Zhou Yi very unhappy, but he didn't intend to resign yet.

After all, in Jingzhou City, there were too many college students like him. If he resigned, it would be really hard to find a new job for a while, so he could only endure it for now.

He wanted to see the capabilities of his system. At the very least, he had to complete the first task. If the reward was good, then he would resign!

However, there was one thing that made Zhou Yi feel very happy now: his video had gone viral, truly viral!

Today's update is here. Some old readers of Lao Jiu have reacted that the one-chapter-a-day Wine Sword is too trashy and very uncomfortable to read. It is indeed so. Who knew that after starting a new book, I would suddenly be transferred and then have to go on various business trips, so I've been very busy... Lao Jiu will try his best to update twice a day to speed up the pace. Writing one chapter a day like this is indeed very disjointed, and it takes me half a day every day to remember the plot. If you have tickets, give me two; if you don't have tickets, two kicks are fine too!
