Arranged marriage, love blossoms; a fiercely devoted soldier dotes on her alone.

at this time,

Inside the speeding train carriage.

"This is outrageous! A bunch of people who are ignorant of the law!"

Ning Yiming said angrily.

As a renowned lawyer in Beijing, he hadn't encountered anything like this for many years. Now it's the 2020s, are there still illiterate and legally illiterate people in China?

It seems the government needs to intensify its efforts to promote legal education in remote rural areas...

Xiao Zhan sneered, "How could a village chief think of using such a method to embezzle your family's demolition compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng asked with doubt, "Brother Xiao, is it really possible that someone is instigating the village chief to bully my family? My parents are honest and kind, they have never argued with anyone in the village, and they have never offended anyone. Who is targeting my family?"

Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the car window, Xiao Zhan said, "The other party's real intention is not what it seems."

Ma Feng was completely confused...

Ning Yiming was completely confused...

Only Shen Jun, who had been by Xiao Zhan's side for a long time, knew that Xiao Zhan was not someone who spoke without reason.

Shen Jun thought for a moment and said, "Instructor, you mean someone is trying to target you secretly, but they can't do anything to you in Beijing, so they chose this method."

"The purpose is to lure you out of the capital."

Upon hearing this, Ma Feng exclaimed in surprise, "How is that possible? Nobody in the village knows about Brother Xiao's relationship with my family."

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow and said, "The villagers don't know, but those people in the capital do. With their status and position, it would be incredibly easy for them to investigate your family's situation. I send money to your parents every month, and that's the clue. It's all my fault for not thinking things through."

Ma Feng exclaimed, "If it's true, then the scheme behind this is terrifying. They used my family as bait to lure Brother Xiao here. They knew that Brother Xiao wouldn't ignore this matter after he found out about it. They understood Brother Xiao's thoughts perfectly."

"I'm just wondering, what exactly are they trying to do?"

At this moment, Ning Yiming said thoughtfully, "President Xiao, if I'm not mistaken, you should have known all along that this matter was not simple and had already made thorough preparations."

Xiao Zhan smiled and said, "I never fight a battle I'm not sure I can win."

"Ma Feng, you just said that apart from your family, all the other villagers in your village are descendants of the same ancestor. You mentioned they all have the surname You, is that correct?"

Ma Feng: "Brother Xiao, everyone in the village has the surname You, so our village is called Youjia Village."

Xiao Zhan picked up his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Beep beep beep..."

The phone rang several times before being answered. A woman's surprised voice came through the phone: "Xiao Zhan, what a rare guest! Did the sun rise in the west today?"

"What do you need me for?"

Xiao Zhan then said, "Director Qi, there's a place called Youjia Village in a certain county and township. Could you help me find out who from that village is an official in the capital?"

Qi Jingtian immediately asked curiously, "Xiao Zhan, why are you investigating this so thoroughly? Did someone surnamed You offend you?"

Xiao Zhan smiled calmly and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

"Director Qi, you'll find out then."

"Hehehe, thanks, I owe you one."

Qi Jingtian laughed and said, "It's not easy to make Young Master Xiao owe someone a favor. I don't care about favors or not. I remember you didn't cause me any trouble last time, and I'm very grateful. Besides, I'm curious why you didn't ask Xia Keke to investigate?"

Xiao Zhan said bluntly, "Because we may have to face each other's suppression or even frenzied attacks together, I hope my words haven't startled you."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jingtian on the other end of the phone was immediately startled.

The exceptionally intelligent woman immediately thought of what she was worried about.

So he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Zhan, do you mean Liu Shiyuan's pawn can now launch the revenge plan?"

Xiao Zhan: "Yes, only you know about this right now."

Xiao Zhan paused for a moment and addressed him by his name, saying, "Qi Jingtian, you know the rules. I'm reminding you to prepare for the storm before it hits. With your status, it shouldn't be difficult for you to secretly investigate something, right?"

Qi Jingtian: "I know what to do."

I will get back to you in five minutes.

Xiao Zhan: "Okay!"

Just as Xiao Zhan hung up the phone, Shen Jun said, "Instructor, just as you predicted, there's a car following us."

Although Ning Yiming is a famous lawyer in the capital, he is always good at verbal battles and can win against his opponents. However, he only talks and never fights. Now, when he heard that someone was following him, his expression changed.

Xiao Zhan looked at him and smiled, "Director Ning, don't worry, I will ensure your safety."

Ning Yiming said somewhat awkwardly, "President Xiao, the other party won't resort to violence against us, will they?"

Xiao Zhan spoke frankly: "Anything is possible. These people have no bottom line and no limits in their methods."

Ning Yiming: "Should we call the police?"

Xiao Zhan: "If calling the police would work, would I need to come in person? If the other party is going to cause trouble, they must have planned everything and are just waiting for me to take the bait."

Ning Yiming's expression changed again. After all, he was just a scholar; he couldn't bring himself to do things like killing or arson...

Xiao Zhan: "Attorney Ning, don't worry. Praying for peace and smooth sailing ten thousand times is not as good as saying once, 'Come on, let the difficulties come.' No strong person has a simple past."

"I will guarantee your personal safety. To be honest, the other side was prepared, and so was I."

Hearing that Xiao Zhan was prepared, Ning Yiming immediately relaxed and said, "Young Master Xiao, so you're saying you arranged everything from the moment you left Beijing. The other party lured you in, and you were also fishing for them to take the bait. This means that while others were scheming against you, you were also scheming against them. The end result is mutual destruction. From a lawyer's perspective, this is called losing control of boundaries. True strength isn't about who's more cunning, but about establishing inviolable bottom lines. When being schemed against, the highest level of response is to clarify the rules, preserve evidence, and cut your losses in time, rather than getting bogged down in the other party's logic."

Xiao Zhan smiled but remained silent after hearing this...

What could he possibly say?

Ning Yiming is right.

But Ning Yiming was unaware of the actual problem.

Xiao Zhan wouldn't tell him either, including Ma Feng, because the more they knew, the more dangerous it would be.

Xiao Zhan didn't want to transfer the danger he was in to others; that wasn't in his nature.

at this time,

Office of the Chief of Police of the Capital City Police Department.

Qi Jingtian put down his phone and said to Du Xiaoxiao, who was standing opposite him, "Immediately find out who in Beijing has people from Youjia Village working in the system, especially those at the section chief level or above. The more detailed the better. Give me the results in five minutes."

Du Xiaoxiao replied, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned and walked into the big data office next door.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the development of data has entered a period of rapid growth.

The police already have a powerful database and Skynet data system. As long as you open the database and enter the content you want to query, you can get the results in seconds.

After three minutes,

Du Xiaoxiao walked into the director's office with a printed sheet of paper and said, "Director Qi, the results of our investigation may surprise you."

Qi Jingtian put down the document in his hand, reached out and took the paper. Seeing the names circled in red pen, he immediately frowned and said, "I really didn't expect this to be related to him."

"Could it be that Xiao Zhan is looking for him?"
