On the day of the divorce, I became Qin Shao's darling.

Lin Xiwei took out her phone and pulled up the surveillance video she had just copied to the police officer.

"I did this to get it."

She handed over her phone and explained her plans.

"Now we have evidence of Su Yunfan's infidelity, evidence of his domestic violence, and evidence that he is suspected of abandoning his child by not paying for the child's medical expenses. I think that with this evidence in hand, our chances of winning the case will be much greater when the trial begins."

Qin Jiamo took her phone and watched the several-minute-long surveillance video with a cold expression.

In the video, Lin Xiwei gripped the doorknob tightly for a while, resisting the attack. After the door was opened, she turned and ran.

But Su Yunfan chased after her, grabbed her hair, and slammed her face against the wall.

The terrifying sound of a head slamming against the wall sent chills down one's spine, and Lin Xiwei could not hide the pain on her face.

Then Zhong Yurou came out, and the two of them worked together to subdue Lin Xiwei and forcibly take her phone away.

Before Qin Jiamo had even finished reading, a nameless anger rose in her heart.

He turned around and asked, "You don't believe in my abilities?"

Lin Xiwei thought he was going to praise her for being smart and doing a good job.

Who knew he would ask such a question right off the bat.

She blinked and explained, "Of course not, your professional abilities are obvious to all."

"Then why did you risk your life to do such a thing?"

"I……"

Lin Xiwei's mouth was half open, and she suddenly didn't know how to explain.

Han Rui felt that his boss was acting very strangely today.

He could understand that the boss was more attentive to Ms. Lin than to the other parties involved, out of consideration for the child.

But this "attentiveness" seems to have gone beyond the normal range.

If you didn't know better, you'd think the boss liked Miss Lin.

So protective of their own.

The atmosphere in the carriage was tense. Seeing that Lin Xiwei was speechless, Han Rui subconsciously spoke up to smooth things over: "Boss, Miss Lin's considerations are also reasonable. With evidence of domestic violence, it is more likely that Su Yunfan will leave with nothing."

Qin Jiamo's face darkened even more upon hearing this, "A fearless sacrifice is called being stupid."

"..." Han Rui was met with a rebuff and was on the verge of tears. He immediately changed his tune, "Miss Lin, you should trust our boss's abilities. Look at you suffering like this, half your face will be bruised for days. Your child will be frightened if they see you like this."

Lin Xiwei: "..."

This was the first time she had ever met such a spineless opportunist.

Lin Xiwei was momentarily speechless, intimidated by Qin Jiamo's aura.

She was silent for a moment before weakly explaining, "I can tell Junjun that Mommy accidentally tripped and fell..."

Qin Jiamo was interrupted by her assistant's words, and her emotions instantly calmed down.

He realized once again that his temper had come on inexplicably, and his expression returned to calm. "Fine, let's get the forensic examination done first. You've already suffered enough, you have to make a difference."

"..." Lin Xiwei pursed her lips, somewhat speechless.

She thought this person was great in every way, except that sometimes the way they spoke was...uncomfortable.

When they arrived at the forensic center, the doctors there were also surprised to see Qin Jiamo.

You should know that even a lawyer of his caliber would instruct an assistant or intern to accompany him when collecting evidence, even if he were to do these things.

But he actually accompanied her in person.

Seeing the doctor's reaction, Lin Xiwei suddenly realized this as well.

She couldn't understand why Qin Jiamo took this divorce case so seriously, handling everything personally.

Logically speaking, he could have not shown up this afternoon; at most, he could have just asked his assistant, Han, to run some errands.

He seems to take himself... quite seriously.

As the thought crossed her mind, Lin Xiwei suddenly snapped back to reality.

You're definitely overthinking it.

They're only doing this personally because of the child, and because she's willing to let the child accompany the Qin family elders.

The doctor performed a detailed injury assessment on Lin Xiwei in accordance with regulations.

She initially thought it was just a superficial injury, but it turned out to be more serious than she had imagined.

In addition to multiple soft tissue contusions on her face, she also suffered a mild concussion and a muscle strain in her right arm.

Watching the doctor write the injury assessment report, Lin Xiwei asked in a low voice, "Can these injuries hold the perpetrator legally accountable?"

The doctor, head down, wrote and replied, "This is a minor injury, which usually only warrants administrative penalties. Only injuries classified as minor or above would warrant criminal charges."

Lin Xiwei was speechless after hearing this.

Half of her face was disfigured, and she was in so much pain that it was difficult for her to speak. Her right fingers trembled with pain when she clenched them, and her head was buzzing—it was only considered a minor injury.

"Attorney Qin, the expert report is ready." The doctor handed the documents to Qin Jiamo and said to Lin Xiwei, "However, with Attorney Qin handling this case, there might still be some room for maneuver."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiwei looked at Qin Jiamo with anticipation.

Back in the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Can you really operate it?"

Qin Jiamo glanced at her after looking at the injury report, then said in a cold tone, "I am a law-abiding and legitimate lawyer."

"..." Okay, then it's hopeless.

Lin Xiwei gave up her illusions.

"However, I saw in the surveillance video that the woman and Su Yunfan ganged up on you, which can be classified as gang beating—which would raise the nature of the case to another level."

"There's such a saying?" Lin Xiwei's hope was instantly rekindled.

"What, you want Su Yunfan to bear criminal responsibility?" Qin Jiamo asked her.

Lin Xiwei said without hesitation, "What he did to me deserves to be drowned in a pig cage. What's jail time compared to that?"

Qin Jiamo paused and said, "If he leaves a criminal record, it may have some impact on Junjun's future development. After all, he is Junjun's father in the legal sense. Even if we change the child's name, we cannot change this fact."

Lin Xiwei stared at him, stunned.

She hadn't expected this at all.

Having a father who has been to prison will definitely affect Junjun's future development; at the very least, he will be ineligible for some civil service or public sector jobs.

The child is too young to understand these things.

But what about when he grows up?

What if he, like the second young master of the Qin family, wants to be a firefighter, or join the army or become a policeman?

That tainted father ruined his dreams.

"In that case, let's just forget about it." Lin Xiwei wasn't being soft-hearted, but she had no choice but to consider the child's situation.

Qin Jiamo knew what she was thinking and comforted her, "Don't worry, even if you can avoid criminal charges, you can't escape administrative penalties. I'll make sure he gets the maximum administrative detention, and he'll be locked up for ten days to half a month."

"Is that okay?" Lin Xiwei was delighted again.

In just a short while, her mood had already gone through several ups and downs.

Qin Jiamo scoffed, "What's so difficult about that?"

"That's great, Attorney Qin, thank you. Let him stay in there for half a month and experience what prison food is like."

Lin Xiwei laughed, but her cheeks hurt again as soon as she laughed, and she could only hiss and gasp for breath. She looked both pitiful and ridiculous.

Qin Jiamo: "When we get back to the hospital later, I'll ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine to improve blood circulation and remove blood stasis. He looks like he has two faces, he could even act like a ghost in the middle of the night."
