The Wuling Hongguang was hit and flew, rolling seven and a half times; Zhou Jianmin's parents died on the spot, and his eight-year-old son suffered a spinal fracture.

The Donggang Traffic Police Brigade, according to Article 76 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, determined that Zhou Jianmin violated lane change rules, must bear 70% of the responsibility, and compensate Gao Shuo's vehicle loss of 2.78 million.

Zhou Jianmin disagreed and applied for administrative reconsideration.

After the reconsideration failed, another lawsuit was filed against the Donggang Traffic Police Brigade in court, requesting the court to revoke or amend the brigade's liability determination and reallocate liability proportions.

The result is self-evident.

The person in charge of the Donggang Traffic Police Brigade did not appear in court, entrusting lawyer Qiu Ruonan to appear and respond.

Not to mention how formidable Qiu Ruonan's mouth is.

Just talking about the perpetrator Gao Shuo, he is not someone Zhou Jianmin can provoke.

Although Gao Shuo grew up in a single-parent family, it is not an ordinary single-parent family but a typical rich young master. His mother is Gao Lu, and his uncle is Gao Peng, the No. 1 of Nanzhou.

First trial concluded.

Zhou Jianmin blocked Qiu Ruonan and her assistant at the courthouse gate, tears in his eyes, asking: "Lawyer Qiu, you are twisting right and wrong against your conscience, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

- Zhou Jianmin

Who twisted right and wrong? Watch your words, or I'll sue you for defamation!

Qiu Ruonan has always been arrogant and domineering, obviously not putting the penniless Zhou Jianmin in her eyes; serving the renminbi is her creed.

One accusation of defamation scared Zhou Jianmin into silence.

Although Zhou Jianmin doesn't understand what the crime of defamation entails, he has been to court before and knows the feeling of sitting in the hearing; that constant heart-in-the-throat nervousness is very unpleasant.

- Zhou Jianmin

court

In despair.

Zhou Jianmin knelt down with a plop, tears in his eyes, pleading with Qiu Ruonan: "My parents died in the car accident, my son is still in the hospital and may become paralyzed, and you still ask me to pay 2.78 million. You are essentially selling me out, I can't afford that much money. I beg you, please have the traffic police reallocate liability..."

- Zhou Jianmin

- Qiu Ruonan

Really, that's not a light illness!

Qiu Ruonan gave a cold smile, turned and left, completely ignoring Zhou Jianmin's desperate pleas.

- Qiu Ruonan

- Zhou Jianmin

Zhou Jianmin, anxious and helpless, instinctively grabbed Qiu Ruonan's leg: "Lawyer Qiu, you are the acting lawyer for the traffic police team; only you can help me, I beg you..."

- Zhou Jianmin

- Qiu Ruonan

Let go!

Qiu Ruonan kicked Zhou Jianmin away.

- Zhou Jianmin

She again glared at Zhou Jianmin and warned coldly: "I warn you, don't move your hands or feet! How many people died in your family is your business; I have no obligation to pity or sympathize with you, get out of here!"

- Qiu Ruonan

- Zhou Jianmin

In a moment, Zhou Jianmin, like a collapsed child, knelt on the ground, head down, tears flowing.

- Zhou Jianmin

He is merely an ordinary fisherman on the outskirts of Donggang.

Donggang

Fisherman (generic)

Three years ago, his wife couldn't bear the hardships of life and ran off with a wealthy fishmonger, leaving him to support his parents and children with his own two hands.

- none specific.

Last New Year's Eve, he drove a used minivan, taking his family into the city to buy some New Year supplies.

- none.

It was supposed to be a happy day.

He never expected that on the way home he would be hit by a Lamborghini, destroying his family, and now he faces a huge compensation of 2.78 million; even if he sold his blood and kidneys, he couldn't raise that much money.

- Lamborghini brand exclude.

His child remains hospitalized, and the steep medical bills are a bottomless pit.

- none.

He does not seek Qiu Ruonan's pity or sympathy.

- Qiu Ruonan

He just wants a fair and just division of responsibility, but he can't fathom how, given that the Lamborghini rear-ended his minivan, he is being assigned 70% of the blame.

- Lamborghini exclude.

This question is too hard; Zhou Jianmin drops to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably, unable to lift his head.

- Zhou Jianmin

Not long after Qiu Ruonan had left.

Lin Dongfan, who arrived a bit late, handed Zhou Jianmin a tissue: "Let me introduce myself—I'm Lin Dongfan of the Jianglan Province Anti-Corruption Bureau. From today on, I'll take care of your case."

Lin Dongfan

- Zhou Jianmin

Jianglan Province Anti-Corruption Bureau

Zhou Jianmin kept his head bowed, crying in despair, and at first didn't even notice the tissue being offered.

- Zhou Jianmin

Only after hearing the voice did he raise his head and look.

- none.

He stared at Lin Dongfan in disbelief: "Can you help me?"

- Lin Dongfan

"First wipe your tears; heaven never seals off all roads." Lin Dongfan helped Zhou Jianmin to his feet, took in his fishy-smelling, impoverished appearance, and inexplicably felt a pang of sympathy.

- Lin Dongfan

- Zhou Jianmin

Lin Dongfan patted his shoulder:

- Lin Dongfan

"I just went to the hospital to see your son; I've already advanced the medical fees, and the doctor is scheduling the surgery. Go back to the hospital to look after your son—I'll handle the appeal."

- Lin Dongfan

- Zhou Jianmin (implied)

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jianmin fell to his knees again with a thud.

- Zhou Jianmin

"Your great kindness and generosity, I, Zhou Jianmin, will never forget in my lifetime."

- Zhou Jianmin

He's not very educated and doesn't know how to express his gratitude, so he wanted to kowtow to Lin Dongfan, which startled Lin Dongfan into quickly reaching out with both hands to support him.

- Zhou Jianmin

- Lin Dongfan

Lin Dongfan, laughing and crying, advised: "Don't do that—it'll shorten your life. Let me tell you, my money didn't just blow in from the wind. When you eventually receive the compensation, you'll have to pay me back."

- Lin Dongfan

- Zhou Jianmin

"I will, I will definitely repay you."

- Zhou Jianmin

This is probably the most excited moment of Zhou Jianmin's life.

- Zhou Jianmin

He had thought his life was completely over, and just moments ago he even despaired, thinking: "If my son also ends up paralyzed and incurable, I might as well take him and jump into the sea."

- Zhou Jianmin

He has eaten fish his whole life; in death, feeding his family to the fish could be seen as giving back to society.

- Zhou Jianmin (implied)

He never expected a stranger like Lin Dongfan to suddenly appear, not only paying his medical fees but also agreeing to handle his lawsuit.

- Lin Dongfan

- Zhou Jianmin

Zhou Jianmin wiped away his tears, excited: "Do you have paper? I'll write you an IOU..."

- Zhou Jianmin

"No need, hurry back to the hospital to look after your son."

Lin Dongfan

Without waiting for Zhou Jianmin to say more, Lin Dongfan had already stepped onto the courthouse steps.

- Zhou Jianmin

- Lin Dongfan

Court

This case's presiding judge is Lin Dongfan's ex-girlfriend Fang Xiaoqian, and this is also the first case Fang Xiaoqian has handled after obtaining her judicial qualifications.

For Fang Xiaoqian, it meant a lot.

Lin Dongfan arrived at Fang Xiaoqian's office, didn't go in, just stood at the doorway and knocked on the door frame: "Judge Fang, would you like to go across the street for a cup of milk tea?"

Fang Xiaoqian, who was sorting case files, looked up at the sound and instantly broke into a smile like a newly favored young bride, her joy showing on her brows.

Interested!

Very interested!

Although last year's breakup scene was painful and tearing, what of it? Those who know the times are the outstanding; only fools would quarrel with a handsome, wealthy ex-boyfriend.

Fang Xiaoqian replied enthusiastically: "Wait a few minutes, I'll finish organizing these materials."

"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you outside."

His cigarette craving acting up, Lin Dongfan turned and walked to the end of the hallway, stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Yang Qing sent an excited message: "Brother, the higher-ups talked to me today, saying they want to transfer me to the Provincial Public Security Department and ask for my opinion—is this your sneaky move?"

"Cough cough! Um, keep it low-key."

After replying to the message, Lin Dongfan found an emoji that read "Brother Niu's here, who dares not obey?" and sent it to Yang Qing in a spam-like fashion, eighteen times in a row.

The next second he received a friendly middle-finger emoji.

But this didn't stop Lin Dongfan from happily showing off, replying: "Stepping on clouds, soaring the heavens—what's that got to do with anything? Once I send Qiu Ruonan to prison, you'll see me shake my mighty frame and soon have a noble child!"
