HPDBC Chapter 729 Legal Fee: One Lollipop
Chapter 729 Legal Fee: One Lollipop
Zhouzhou listened to the voice, glanced at the despairing manager, and nodded at the evil spirit, "Sure."
"After all, he's done so many bad things. He won't be able to reincarnate in the next life and will still suffer in the underworld. Letting you eat him would actually be doing him a favor."
"We really are just too kind."
The evil spirit nodded in agreement.
That's right, they were the kindest people in the world!
The manager, upon hearing this, passed out in despair.
However, it didn't take long for the pain to wake him up.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a blade cutting into him, with a nearby plate full of the pieces of flesh sliced off from his body. He could even see the hair on them.
He let out a hysterical scream, "Help!"
Zhouzhou snorted, "Even if you scream your lungs out, no one will save you."
That's what he gets for hurting people.
Big bad guy.
The little girl muttered to herself while holding the talisman in her hand, leaving the others confused.
They looked at the manager, who lay on the ground with his eyes wide open, motionless, as if his soul had left his body. It was strange.
Only Gu Shao knew what Zhouzhou had done. Finally, he could exhale with satisfaction. It felt good.
That scumbag had deserved to be cut to pieces long ago.
"Old Li will be alright, right?" Gu Shao asked.
The others also looked over, understanding at least this much.
Zhouzhou nodded, "He's fine now, but he's seriously injured and will need proper rest."
With her assurance, Gu Shao felt relieved.
He glanced at the manager lying on the ground. Even though he knew the guy was suffering in the Torture from Hell Talisman, Gu Shao still wasn't satisfied and gave him a kick.
If he didn't care about his own life, fine. But he shouldn't play with their lives!
The co-worker who had called Gu Shao earlier wiped his eyes, "Old Li is fine for now, but the days ahead are going to be tough. All the money's been spent, and he's in a mountain of debt. That scumbag even said Old Li should pay him."
Hearing this, he couldn't help but worry.
If it weren't for the need to earn money, they wouldn't have had to leave their homes.
Now, they hadn't even earned anything, and someone had gotten hurt.
Sigh.
Zhouzhou, hearing this, said, "Don't worry. Make the bad guy pay."
The co-worker shook his head, "He won't."
Lawyer Feng nodded and jotted it down, "Anything else?"
Seeing this, the other workers also started talking over each other.
Lawyer Feng didn't interrupt and quickly took notes.
Zhouzhou peeked over his shoulder and exclaimed, "Wow!" staring at him in amazement.
So impressive!
Everyone was talking all at once, but Lawyer Feng didn't miss a single word.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration.
Lawyer Feng nearly lost his rhythm due to her intense gaze and had to gently push her away by her forehead.
Zhouzhou obediently sat beside him, swinging her legs without interrupting.
But her eyes shone even brighter.
She would become just as amazing as Lawyer Feng one day!
Before long, Lawyer Feng finished. He glanced at his notes and quickly organized his thoughts, "Alright, I understand. I'll start gathering evidence based on what you've told me. I may need your cooperation at some points."
His formal tone and strong presence made everyone instinctively nod in agreement.
After everything was settled, Zhouzhou's little head popped up. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a piece of candy, placing it in Lawyer Feng's hand.
"Thank you, Lawyer Feng. Here's your legal fee."
Lawyer Feng raised an eyebrow but accepted the lollipop without comment.
A five-cent lollipop.
This was the cheapest case he'd ever taken on.
Later, when he returned to the Qin Corporation, he reported the incident to Qin Lie.
As Qin Lie flipped through some documents, he paused and a trace of warmth appeared on his face.
"You go ahead with it. I'll transfer the legal fee to your account."
"No need, President Qin," Lawyer Feng refused, "Miss Zhouzhou already paid me."
He touched the lollipop in his pocket as he spoke.
Qin Lie raised an eyebrow, eyeing him curiously.
Was this the same penny-pinching Lawyer Feng who usually charged by the second?
Something didn't seem right.
After Lawyer Feng left, Qin Lie's thoughts lingered.
Tapping his fingers on the desk, he suddenly remembered something.
That guy's getting on in years--maybe it's time to arrange a marriage for him. He should settle down and have a daughter of his own.
Then, there'd be one less person eyeing his daughter.
