139: You don't even dare to leave the house, and you still have the nerve to say you love her?

Liu Jiale still had feelings for Wu Yufang.

Don't underestimate the advantage of being 'good in bed'; many times, a woman's infidelity is emotional.

So, even though their situation had come to this, Wu Yufang still comforted him, "Don't be angry. Wait… wait until I sign the agreement here, and then I'll figure something out for you."

Liu Jiale's brow remained furrowed at her words. Suddenly, he spoke again, "What terms did you two agree on? Why did he agree to give you a letter of understanding?"

Wu Yufang replied, "Oh, he said the child would go to him, and then I would leave with nothing."

"What?" Liu Jiale, who had just sat down, immediately stood up. "Leave with nothing? Not taking a single penny, right? You agreed?"

Wu Yufang hadn't expected such a strong reaction from him. She said, quite surprised, "Of course I agreed. If I didn't, I wouldn't get the letter of understanding, and without it, I'd be sentenced to actual prison time."

"I've had enough of my time in the Detention Center; I really don't want to go back in."

Liu Jiale suddenly became furious, shouting, "Then you agreed without telling me? And leaving with nothing? What will you do in the future, huh? I'm asking you, what will you do in the future?"

"Can you earn money? How much money can you earn? How will you live your life in the future? Damn it!"

Wu Yufang was a bit stunned by the scolding. After a long while, she said, "No, Liu Jiale, what do you mean? What does it have to do with you if I don't want money in my divorce?"

"Does this mean that if I leave with nothing, you'll feel like you can't go on?"

"So, do you like me as a person, or do you like the money? Tell me clearly!"

Liu Jiale roared, "Of course, I like the money! Who do you think you are, huh? You're over thirty, you've had a child, you can't do anything but spend money. What is there about you for me to like?"

"Aren't those eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls better? Why would I like you? If it weren't for you getting money from the divorce, do you think I'd be with you?"

"Now you're even doing this leaving with nothing thing. You're really sick!"

Liu Jiale continued to rant, and his words became increasingly vulgar and unpleasant.

Things like "you're so loose I don't feel anything" were already considered polite.

Wu Yufang was dumbfounded by what she heard. She never expected Liu Jiale to say such things.

Originally, she thought she was still attractive, and that he liked her as a person, so leaving with nothing was fine.

Anyway, Liu Jiale had said he would support her after the divorce.

But she never expected it to turn out like this; everything he said before was a lie.

It could be said that Liu Jiale's words were like a sharp knife, shattering Wu Yufang's last bit of self-esteem.

"Slap!" Wu Yufang finally couldn't hold back and slapped him. "Liu Jiale, you bastard, you lied to me!"

However, Liu Jiale's eyes immediately turned red. He stepped forward and punched Wu Yufang to the ground, then followed with a flurry of vicious punches and kicks.

Wu Yufang was stunned by the beating, or perhaps some women who have been pampered since childhood don't fully understand; they don't realize there's a huge physical difference between men and women.

She had always relied on order and law, but once the other party threw those things aside, this was the situation.

Finally, Liu Jiale had his fill of beating her. He then pushed her out the door, "Now get out!"

Wu Yufang was bruised and swollen, tears streaming down her face. Even in the worst times before, Zhang Yunfan had never laid a finger on her.

But now... this was all her own doing, and all she could do now was call the police.

Signing the divorce agreement and providing the letter of understanding had nothing to do with Zhou Yun anymore.

And after many days of effort, his video was finally produced.

After some thought, Zhou Yun titled the video: "You don't even dare to leave with nothing, and you still have the nerve to say you love him?"

Zhou Yun now tries to make every video about legal education. This time, he wanted to address rights-based extortion, as there have been too many similar cases in recent years.

Too many people are starting to specifically design schemes, and if you're not careful, you'll fall into their trap.

Because of this, many people are calling for the country to strengthen legislation in this area. Ultimately, there are shortcomings in the legislation; the definition of the crime is too simple, so it can be interpreted in any way.

If he simply talked about dry theories, few people would be willing to listen, but combining them with case examples made it interesting, like listening to a story, where you could feel knowledge flowing through your brain.

At least a little bit would stick...

This is also why many lawyers now design scenarios for their live streams and call-ins.

And this time, Zhou Yun's scenario definitely had a hot topic: caught in the act of adultery but then arrested, followed by all sorts of reversals, especially with Zhang Yunfan knowing Zhou Yun was going to release a video and specifically providing a recording.

After Wu Yufang was beaten and reported it to the police, he even specifically inquired about it and also provided the information to Zhou Yun.

Combined with this title, as expected, the video went viral as soon as it was released.

In Jingnan District, Jinghai City, Wang Shenggang was playing on his phone at the gym. You could say, this gym was actually doing quite well and even making a profit.

Those people Zhou Yun had helped before were now regular customers here. There was no need to hire cleaners; everyone cleaned up after themselves after their workouts.

Just then, a voice rang out in the gym, "Hey, hey, hey, Lawyer Zhou released a video!"

Soon, everyone stopped exercising, and one voice after another chimed in.

"Let me see, caught in the act? Is it that exciting? 'You don't even dare to leave with nothing, and you still have the nerve to say you love him?'"

"'What I want isn't money, it's your attitude?'"

"Holy crap, Lawyer Zhou's video descriptions are getting more and more provocative!"

In fact, Zhou Yun didn't know why he was becoming more and more provocative now; he could only attribute it to society.

Anyway, Mr. Zhou was a non-stick pan. His achievements today were all due to his own hard work, plus a little help from the system.

However, as the gym-goers watched, their gazes turned towards Wang Shenggang at the front desk.

Because these words felt so familiar, as if they had seen them before...

Wang Shenggang immediately said, "Why are you all looking at me? I'm not a simp anymore! Watch the video!"

Everyone turned their heads back. Speaking of which, this video was really interesting.

In the video, Zhou Yun provided a detailed introduction to the current controversies surrounding the crime of extortion and rights-based extortion.

"Extortion requires illegal possession as a prerequisite. So, what is illegal possession? Is any possession not stipulated by the right considered illegal possession?"

"Take this case as an example. The state does not stipulate spousal rights, but it is justifiable in legal theory, and there are other precedents. Can you say this constitutes illegal possession?"

"In reality, there are many such examples. The law cannot list all rights, but if it's reasonable to ask for money, can you say it's extortion?"

After discussing this, Zhou Yun further elaborated on the controversies surrounding rights-based extortion.

"In the currently prevalent rights-based extortion cases, assuming the reasons and basis for the claim are legal, can the amount become the basis for illegal possession?"

To put it simply, can one demand an exorbitant amount for compensation, and does demanding an exorbitant amount constitute illegal possession?

Some views in the legal community believe that if the law does not specify the amount, then as long as there is a basis, the amount is a result of autonomy of will, and you cannot say there is a problem just because someone asks for more money.

For example, for emotional distress compensation, the provincial regulations are what the Court must abide by, but in actual mediation cases, there is no upper limit for emotional distress compensation, which means that one can actually demand an exorbitant amount.

But it's different in criminal practice, because there are many cases where people were convicted of extortion due to excessively high compensation demands.

The controversy is huge, and a clear law is absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, in the comment section, netizens were already boiling with excitement.

Someone commented, "I have to say, you all think this plot is exciting, but I think Lawyer Zhou's 'simp theory' really resonates with me."

The "simp theory" was Zhou Yun's idea of "letting simps experience the joy of being human"; once they experience it, they can't go back.

Someone below commented, "Really? I think Lawyer Zhou's thinking is so clear. I definitely wouldn't have thought of something like that."

There were all sorts of comments, but most people were still expressing how awesome Lawyer Zhou was.

The most crucial thing was that this story had a beginning and an end, and there was even the final interaction and outcome with the cheating woman!

You could tell from the sound that the man was very satisfied, and everyone listening felt very comfortable, especially knowing that the woman was beaten after leaving with nothing.

Why be a simp when being human is so much better!

This was something Zhou Yun hadn't even expected.

The legal education he painstakingly created wasn't that interesting to netizens. Instead, netizens were particularly interested in his so-called "theory on how simps become human."

Because this idea had already been applied twice in real-life examples, and both times the results were exceptionally good.

For example, Writer Wang, before using it, was suicidal and wanted to jump into a river because his girlfriend ignored him.

After using it, look at the effect: Writer Wang personally sent his girlfriend to prison, and now he lives a carefree life every day.

Everyone discussed heatedly in the comment section and then summarized the main point.

That is, the core of a simp becoming human lies in swapping the identities between the simp and the person they are simping for.

As long as the simp experiences the feeling of being simped for, everything will change.

In the law firm office, Zhou Yun looked at the online comments with a wry smile, but it didn't matter. What could he do about what netizens liked?

Next up was calmly waiting for the verdict for Liu Jiale and the other person.

Once their case was decided, he could collect his mission reward. He didn't really want to send people to prison this time either.

But... the system said that the better the mission completion and the bigger the impact, the higher the reward. So, it really wasn't Zhou Yun's fault; it was all the system and society's fault.

It hadn't been long since the New Year. Perhaps he should set a small goal: send no more than a hundred people to prison.

As he was thinking, his assistant, Xiao Duan, walked in: "Director Zhou, there's something I need to tell you. Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law has invited you to give a lecture in a week. Do you think you can make it?"

Zhou Yun replied, "I don't have any important matters recently, so no problem. Just arrange a time to go."

Xiao Duan nodded, then added, "There are a lot of clients coming to the firm to see you every day now. What about your side...?"

"You handle them first, or arrange for intern lawyers to handle them, then compile the case files for me to review. If there's anything I'm interested in, I'll take it."

"For the remaining cases, ask clients if they're willing to have other lawyers in the firm handle them, and then assign them to other lawyers."

"Don't worry about particularly troublesome cases; if they can't be resolved in the end, I'll back you up!"

By now, Zhou Yun was no longer the small lawyer he once was. He was now a Zhengtian Law Firm partner and a nationally renowned lawyer, qualified to say such words.

And if he said he would back them up, he absolutely would. This was his golden reputation!

Countless people across the country wished they could get a promise from Lawyer Zhou.

What do lawyers in the firm need most? First, case sources, and second, cases that become particularly troublesome as they work on them. And Zhou Yun could help them with all these things.

Cases other lawyers didn't dare to take, he dared to take. People other lawyers didn't dare to offend, he dared to offend. He was ready for anything!

...

Inside Zhengtian Law Firm, Xiao Duan had already informed the lawyers about what Zhou Yun had just said.

"What? Really, Lawyer Duan? Director Zhou is really going to distribute those cases to us?" Someone stood up eagerly and asked.

Xiao Duan smiled and said, "Of course it's true. What is there to doubt about what Director Zhou says? But the premise is that the client agrees."

"And for these distributed cases, Director Zhou will regularly review them to see how you're doing."

Everyone didn't care about that. Although Director Zhou was very serious, the case sources were real, and Director Zhou would even back them up!

Where could you find such a leader? Although he usually liked to be serious and enjoyed personal attacks during debates, he was still a good leader!

The lawyers cheered in various ways, and at this moment, in the director's office, Old Zhuang looked puzzled.

"Hey, what are they shouting about outside?"

The assistant next to him went out to look, then came back and said, "Director, they seem to be thanking Director Zhou in various ways. It seems Director Zhou said he would distribute cases to them and also back them up or something..."

Ah? Old Zhuang widened his eyes, went out to take a look himself, and then felt that the situation was not good.

They were all supporting Director Zhou now. What was he, Director Zhuang, then? No, he had to find a way. He, Old Zhuang, was the person in charge of the law firm... Oh no, he was the director of the law firm.

It was already evening, and Zhou Yun returned home as usual. Today was his weekly live stream day.

Too many clients were coming to the law firm to see him, so the live stream had been paused for a while, and then, at the urging of the audience, it was changed to once a week.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting. It's time for Professor Mr. Zhou's Legal Lecture once again!"

Along with Zhou Yun's opening remarks, people quickly started entering the live stream room.

"It's time for Professor Mr. Zhou's weekly dirty joke legal lecture again!"

"I have to say, Lawyer Zhou feels completely different at work compared to his usual self. Does he have split personality disorder?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Be careful, Lawyer Zhou might sue you for defamation. He's got a license!"

Zhou Yun ignored these comments and went straight into his lecture: "Last week, we talked about the idea of natural law. Now, let's continue."

"Someone asked me before what natural law actually is and how it manifests."

"Let me give you an example. When a certain Political Science and Law University was building a new campus, they once had a conflict with the local farmers."

"What kind of school is a Political Science and Law University? Think about how well they can talk about law. The farmers definitely couldn't out-argue them, but in the end, the Political Science and Law University still backed down. Why?"

"Because the farmers were talking about very simple natural law. They held hoes and sickles and used simple natural law to give the teachers of the Political Science and Law University a good lesson."

"Do you dare not listen? Come and see if your mouth is tougher or the farmers' hoes are tougher."

"Does that make sense now? Good, let's continue..."
