Unfazed by the other person's shouting, Ling Zhenfei sauntered in, exuding an air of disdain, and said coldly, "What's all the shouting for, and who might you be? Is this place run by your family? Just because you're here, does it mean no one else is allowed?"

"You…"

The man, seeing that Ling Zhenfei was dressed plainly and didn't appear to be someone of status, immediately looked down upon him. Coupled with Ling Zhenfei's retort, anger welled in his heart, and he glared furiously at Ling Zhenfei.

However, Ling Zhenfei had no intention of letting him off easily. He strode forward, took a seat on a chair, and gave the man a sidelong glance with a cold look.

Then, he turned to Xie Lina with a gentler tone and said, "Miss Xie, is someone threatening you? Tell us quickly. Don't worry, with us here, nobody dares to touch you."

Zhuo Yue also had no fondness for this bespectacled suit-wearing beast and moved forward to comfort Xie Lina.

"No, it's nothing!"

Xie Lina's face was full of pain as she spoke and turned to the middle-aged man with glasses, saying, "Lawyer Huang, please leave. My mind is in turmoil, I need some quiet."

Lawyer Huang?

So, this man was actually a lawyer!

Noticing that something was clearly wrong with Xie Lina's expression and hearing that this well-dressed fellow was a lawyer, Ling Zhenfei seemed to have an epiphany and took a few more glances at Lawyer Huang.

Seeing that so many people had suddenly arrived, Lawyer Huang knew that his conversation with Xie Lina could no longer continue.

After hearing Xie Lina's words, he hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, Miss Xie, I'll give you some more time to think about it.

However, please remember that time is limited. Make sure you give me a definitive answer by eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Lawyer Huang cast a very impolite look at everyone and turned to leave.

"Lawyer, what a profession that stirs up trouble!" Ling Zhenfei said contemptuously as he watched Lawyer Huang's departing figure.

"It seems you have quite the prejudice against lawyers," Han Lian said with a smile after looking at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei said somberly, "It's not prejudice, it's just that I simply don't want to see them. In my eyes, there are few good people among lawyers!"

Although Han Lian didn't agree with Ling Zhenfei's extreme statement, she politely refrained from pressing the issue further.

Instead, she turned to Xie Lina, asking eagerly, "Miss Xie, could you tell us what this Lawyer Huang wanted with you exactly?"

Han Lian's question was indeed the focus of everyone's attention. Upon hearing it, both Ling Zhenfei and Zhuo Yue also turned their questioning gazes toward Xie Lina.

Xie Lina had a complex and odd expression. Biting her lower lip with her teeth, she attempted to speak several times, yet for some reason, she seemed too apprehensive to talk.

Everyone exchanged glances and looked at Xie Lina with encouraging eyes.

Ling Zhenfei took a few steps to the door, peered outside, and said with a calm demeanor, "Miss Xie, don't be afraid; just tell us the truth, and we'll all think of a solution together!"

Emboldened by everyone's encouragement, Xie Lina's fragile heart finally found some support.

She bit her lip and said deliberately, "This Lawyer Huang, came to find me at the invitation of Le Wu Ya's father, Le Jianxing."

"Le Jianxing?"

Hearing these three words, Ling Zhenfei's eyebrows involuntarily furrowed together, "Le Jianxing is sending a lawyer to find you at this time, what does he want to do? Is he trying to threaten you?"

Ling Zhenfei's doubts were also the mutual thoughts of all the women present.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Xie Lina nodded and said, "Yes, Le Jianxing had Lawyer Huang tell me that if I didn't sue his son in court, he would not pursue the matter of me biting his son, and also, he promised to give me a sum of compensation money."

As Xie Lina spoke to this point, her voice became very low, and her expression was extremely dejected.

Ling Zhenfei heard this and couldn't help but sneer coldly, "A fine tycoon Le, thinking he can do anything he wants with his money and power, covering the sky with one hand? He better not forget, this is a world of law, does he really think his money is above the law?"

He said this and couldn't help but turn back to look at Xie Lina, asking, "Miss Xie, how did you respond? Did you give that damn Lawyer Huang a good scolding, making him bleed like a slaughtered dog?"

He thought Xie Lina would give him a satisfying answer, but to his surprise, Xie Lina looked hesitant and, upon hearing his words, suddenly lowered her head and said nothing.

Could it be...

Seeing this, Ling Zhenfei felt an abrupt sinking in his heart. Just as he was about to ask, Zhuo Yue, as if noticing Xie Lina's abnormal reaction, loudly asked, "Sister Lina, after all the true feelings you gave Le Wu Ya, that bastard has treated you like this, don't you hate him? Don't you want that bastard to rot in jail for his next lifetime?"

Facing Zhuo Yue's questioning, Xie Lina's expression was one of utter despondence. She hung her head low and didn't say a word.

Everyone waited for quite a while before she finally lifted her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "You are right, Le Wu Ya has hurt me so deeply, and I hate him to the bone. According to my original thoughts, even condemning him to the ninth circle of hell wouldn't alleviate the hatred in my heart.

However, since I bit off one of his ears, I don't know why, but all the hatred that had accumulated in my heart has completely dissipated."

Xie Lina's answer was unexpected to everyone.

Zhuo Yue's eyes widened in complete surprise, asking, "What? Sister Lina, don't you want to sue that beast anymore? He has long had no slightest affection for you, are you really going to let him off just like that? Or is it for... the money!"

"No!"

Zhuo Yue's words clearly greatly agitated Xie Lina. She screamed loudly, almost hysterically saying, "No, I won't have any more ties with him for anything. I don't want to sue him anymore, nor do I want a penny of his money.

I've realized, after this is over, I will leave this sad city. Leave far away, never wanting to see him again for the rest of my life!"

Xie Lina was agitated, her face etched with grief, and within just a few words, she had become unable to stop her tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

Ling Zhenfei, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. He exchanged a look with Han Lian and Zhuo Yue, finding in their eyes a mix of helplessness and sympathy.

It seemed, relying on Xie Lina, this woman blinded by love, to bring down Le Wu Ya, was an unviable path.

However, Ling Zhenfei didn't seem worried by this, even though they hadn't found direct evidence of Le Wu Ya's crimes on the spot.

As long as Le Wu Ya had done something wrong, there would definitely be traces to follow, and even if they didn't have Xie Lina as a powerful witness, he had ways of punishing that bastard.

Ling Zhenfei held onto this thought, but unexpectedly, Han Lian seemed to see through his mind, sighed, and said, "Zhenfei, don't think of convicting Le Wu Ya by other means. That guy is indeed very cunning. If Miss Xie won't sue him, we can't touch him at all."
