Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

Uncle, will the spots on my body... disappear in the future?

The little girl's voice was crisp and timid, like a feather gently brushing past.

But this action instantly shattered all the revelry outside the courtroom.

The reporters' persistent questioning, the villagers' cries, and the clamor of victory vanished in an instant.

Chen Ye's heart clenched at the question.

He lowered his head and met those pure, unadulterated eyes.

Then look at her face and neck, those red spots that are particularly glaring in the sunlight.

What should he say?

Saying you will? That's a lie.

The damage caused by heavy metal pollution to the human body is often irreversible.

"Can't you say it?" Looking into those eyes that had just begun to ignite hope, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

【Hold.】

This question is fucking harder to answer than any question in court.

Chen Ye's roguish heart, a heart that roams the streets.

For the first time, I felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness and panic.

He had seen too much suffering, but he had never seen such pure suffering.

It pressed down on such a small child.

He was silent.

The silence made the air feel heavy.

Grandpa Li held the girl in his arms, his face still wet with tears, and a new tension crept in.

All the villagers held their breath, watching their benefactor.

Chen Ye did not answer that question.

He simply crouched down so that he could look the little girl in the eye.

He raised his hand, which wasn't in a cast, his movements a little clumsy.

But very gently, it was placed on the little girl's head and gently touched.

"Uncle promises."

He neither said it would get better, nor did he say it wouldn't.

He gave only three words, a man's promise.

The little girl blinked, seemingly understanding but not quite, but she could sense it.

The warmth of that big hand above my head was comforting and reassuring.

Chen Ye withdrew his hand and stood up.

That moment of tenderness vanished without a trace.

He instantly switched back to the ruthless and decisive lawyer, turning directly to Qin Kexin.

"Kexin".

"Yes," Qin Kexin replied immediately.

"The compensation must be paid in full, not a penny less."

You personally lead the team, establish a special task force, and keep a close eye on the New Century side.

Make sure every penny reaches the villagers!

"yes!"

He then looked at Wang Hao and Li Zhe.

"You two, immediately contact the best hospitals in Beijing and find specialists in oncology and hematology."

Create files for all the sick villagers and arrange for them to undergo the most comprehensive examinations and treatments in batches!

"The money will come from the compensation!"

"The compensation hasn't arrived yet, but our law firm will advance the funds!"

"Understood!" Wang Hao and Li Zhe straightened their chests excitedly.

After arranging everything, Chen Ye looked at Grandpa Li again.

"Sir, the lawsuit is over, now it's time for medical treatment."

This is a longer battle, but we will fight it with you to the very end.

Grandpa Li's lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word; he could only nod frantically.

The surrounding reporters' flashes went off again.

What they recorded was no longer the ecstasy of victory.

What they captured on camera was no longer the ecstasy of victory.

Rather, it is a lawyer, a team, and their respect for and practice of life.

Juncheng Law Firm became famous throughout the country after this incident.

The next day, Juncheng Law Firm.

The entire law firm erupted in excitement; the atmosphere was incredibly high.

Liu Huan, brimming with extravagance, booked the banquet hall of the most upscale five-star hotel in the vicinity to hold a celebration banquet for the public welfare department.

Champagne, fine wine, and delicacies from land and sea.

The air was filled with the fragrance of fine clothes and the rustling of hair; wine cups clinked and toasts were exchanged.

The law firm's elites were all impeccably dressed, with proud smiles on their faces.

They were excitedly discussing yesterday's phenomenal court hearing.

The absolute stars of the entire banquet hall were undoubtedly Chen Ye and his team.

"Brother! Brother Chen! I'd like to toast you!"

"Brother! Brother Chen! I'd like to toast you!"

Wang Hao held his wine glass, his face flushed red. "Yesterday in court, I fucking thought I was going to die!"

And then you... you just grabbed it from behind!

From civil to criminal cases, they've gone on a killing spree!

Li Zhe, holding his cup, couldn't hold back any longer: "Bro, that move of yours..."

"You're no longer in the atmosphere; you've flown straight out of the solar system!"

"Hahahaha!" A burst of laughter erupted around them.

Chen Ye smiled and clinked glasses with them.

He downed the drink in one gulp: "Alright, stop bragging, or I'll turn into a balloon."

Anran stood to the side, her little face flushed.

Holding a glass of champagne, her eyes shone as she looked at Chen Ye, as if they held stars.

Qin Kexin, on the other hand, wore a black strapless evening gown and looked absolutely stunning.

She stood beside Chen Ye with a charming smile, shielding him from wave after wave of people offering him drinks, just like a hostess.

She watched the man beside her move effortlessly through the crowd, and felt that he was truly radiant.

Just then, a voice that was neither male nor female interrupted.

"Xiao Chen, you did a really good job this time, you've really brought honor to Juncheng."

A man in his fifties, with slightly balding hair and a large belly, walked over carrying a wine glass.

Liu Guodong, senior partner at the law firm.

The person in charge of commercial mergers and acquisitions has always looked down on the Ministry of Public Welfare as a "money-losing machine".

Chen Ye glanced at him, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Liu Guodong continued speaking to himself, his words tinged with sarcasm: "However, young people shouldn't be too arrogant."

For the sake of one case, he offended everyone in Xincheng. Zhang Ruifeng has powerful backers.

"You may feel good doing this, but the mess we make will have to be cleaned up by the entire law firm."

The moment those words were spoken, the room fell silent.

The smiles on Wang Hao and Li Zhe's faces also froze.

"Damn it, I'm risking my life on the front lines, and you old bastard are just spouting nonsense from the back?"

Chen Ye cursed inwardly, but smiled on the outside.

"Liu Lu is right," he said slowly.

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't think things through when I do things."

"How about this, I'll take all the blame for any subsequent problems, so as not to implicate the law firm, okay?"

Liu Guodong blushed, choked by his words: "You! What kind of attitude is this! I'm teaching you how to do things!"

"I don't deserve such praise." Chen Ye swirled his wine glass. "I'm afraid Attorney Liu will ruin me."

"you……"

The atmosphere was tense.

"Oh dear, Lawyer Liu, on such a joyous occasion, let's not lecture our hero."

Liu Huan walked over gracefully, wearing a bright red, high-slit long dress.

Her long, snow-white legs were partially visible, instantly capturing everyone's attention.

She walked to Chen Ye's side, naturally took his arm, and gave Liu Guodong a charming smile.

"Even if the sky falls, I, the boss, will hold it up. There's no need for Lawyer Liu to worry about it."

She was smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Liu Guodong's face turned pale and then flushed.

In the end, he could only snort coldly and walk away dejectedly.

"What's so great about a guy who climbed to the top by relying on women?"

He walked away, muttering something under his breath.

Those around him pretended not to hear, but their gazes toward Chen Ye were complicated.

Sigh, it seems my reputation for being a kept man is something I can't shake off no matter what I do.

Chen Ye shook his head helplessly.

Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated.

It was an unfamiliar Beijing number.

Chen Ye released Liu Huan, walked to a quiet corner, and answered the phone.

Hello.

"Excuse me, are you Attorney Chen Ye from Juncheng Law Firm?"

On the other end of the phone was the voice of a calm and dignified middle-aged man.

"I am."

"Hello, Attorney Chen, I am Zhou Zhengguo from the Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission."

boom!

Chen Ye's mind went blank for a moment.

Supervisory Commission?

Was it the director who called personally?

Holy crap, that's giving them way too much face.

"Director Zhou, hello." Chen Ye's voice immediately became serious.

"Attorney Chen, on behalf of the Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission and on my own behalf, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you and your firm."

Zhou Zhengguo's voice was full of praise.

"The evidence you provided is crucial, giving us the most powerful weapon to eliminate this cancer in the new city."

On behalf of the people, thank you!

"Director Zhou, you flatter us. This is simply our duty as lawyers."

Chen Ye said politely.

"No, this is not the same."

Zhou Zhengguo paused for a moment, then said, "I've heard that your investigation process was very dangerous."

This spirit of not fearing power and speaking out for the people is something we should all learn from.

"If you need any assistance from our disciplinary department in Jingzhou in the future, you can call me directly at this number."

This statement carries immense weight!

This is equivalent to giving Chen Ye an unrestricted official VIP card in Jingzhou!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ye returned to the banquet hall.

Many people saw what just happened.

Liu Guodong leaned closer again and asked with a forced smile.

"What's wrong, Attorney Chen? Is trouble knocking on your door? Is it a call from a creditor?"

The business lawyers around him also joined in with sarcastic laughter.

Chen Ye ignored him and looked at Liu Huan instead.

"President Liu, Director Zhou from the Jingzhou Municipal Supervisory Commission just called."

"Huh?" Liu Huan was taken aback.

He said it was to thank our law firm for its contribution this time.

Going forward, all of Juncheng's business in Jingzhou will be affected.

They will provide maximum policy support and convenience.

Chen Ye's voice was not loud.

But this statement was like a depth charge.

The whole banquet hall erupted in chaos!

The smile on Liu Guodong's face froze instantly.

The director of the supervisory commission...personally made a phone call...promising policy support?

What level of treatment is this?!

The entire banquet hall was completely silent.

All the lawyers stared at Chen Ye in shock.

This is no longer just about winning a lawsuit.

This directly opens up access to the higher levels!

This network of connections and this level of influence have far exceeded their expectations!

Liu Guodong's face went from deathly pale to a deep liver color.

I feel like a clown jumping around.

Official endorsement is the most lethal.

This was such a slap in the face; he wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground right then and there.

Liu Huan looked at Chen Ye, her alluring fox-like eyes sparkling with interest.

This man always manages to surprise her.

Her red lips parted slightly, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness and suggestion that only Chen Ye could understand.

"Chen Ye, you've done it again."

"It seems like my sister's reward is going to be increased."

The latter half of the victory celebration banquet.

An Ran had been forced to drink several glasses of champagne by someone, and her face was as red as an apple.

She mustered her courage, took a champagne glass, and sidled up to Chen Ye, who was enjoying the breeze on the balcony.

"Chen...Chen Lu..." The voice was soft and gentle.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Chen Ye turned his head.

"I...I..." An Ran lowered her head, clutching the hem of her clothes, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

"Say whatever you want to say."

An Ran suddenly raised her head, her large, watery eyes filled with a fearless courage and the purest admiration.

"Attorney Chen, you were in court yesterday..."

She paused, as if searching for a suitable word.

"...It's glowing."

Three words, softly, escaped her lips.

Chen Ye was stunned.

He had heard countless compliments, but never one of them.

Like those three words, clean and pure, they pierced straight into his heart.

He looked at the girl in front of him, who was trembling slightly from nervousness and shyness.

It's as if I'm seeing myself from many years ago, someone who had nothing but was full of dreams for the future.

For once, he didn't know what to say.

The atmosphere on the balcony suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Just then.

A laughing voice broke the silence from behind them.

"Our hero was hiding here enjoying the breeze."

Liu Huan walked over, carrying two glasses of red wine, exuding charm.

She handed a glass to Chen Ye, then stood between Chen Ye and An Ran with remarkable ease, subtly separating the two.

She glanced at An Ran, whose face was flushed.

She smiled meaningfully: "Anran, have you had too much to drink? Your face is so red."

"I...I didn't, Mr. Liu." An Ran waved her hands in a flustered manner.

Liu Huan ignored her and turned to Chen Ye instead.

She leaned slightly towards him, her red lips close to his ear.

That mature yet domineering fragrance instantly enveloped Chen Ye.

"Which do you prefer: the little drunkard's adoration or your sister's reward?"
