Yanjing Legal Aid Center
As soon as Daniel Mu opened his eyes, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
The small and shabby office, with cracked walls above, smelled of decay. As for the almost torn civil law books on the table and the piles of files behind him, each one was so familiar that he wanted to cry.
Is this a dream?
Daniel Mu subconsciously looked at the dark computer screen in front of him. His current face was clearly reflected in it, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and he looked exactly like he was twenty-four years old.

---Is he wearing it again?
Daniel Mu reflexively took out his cell phone. It was 3:28 p.m. on xx/xx/xx.
All the tragedies have not yet begun...
For Daniel Mu, the age of twenty-four is the source of his nightmare.
Before the age of 24, although he had a miserable life, he managed to make it through. He was a leader among young lawyers and was admitted to the Yanjing Legal Aid Center right after graduation. He won all the cases he took over in the past two years and became a little famous in the legal aid circle.
But everything changed after he took on that case. Initially, it was just an ordinary lawsuit about campus violence, but when the victim committed suicide, the public opinion suddenly turned to Daniel Mu.
"She committed suicide, and you are the murderer!"
"A friend jokingly accused two girls of campus violence, and the black-hearted lawyer harmed them miserably."
"Why are homoS3xuals still at the Legal Aid Center? Get lost! It's disgusting!"
The whispers of the people around him, the blatant abuse on the Internet, and the revoked lawyer's license in his hand, three sharp blades stabbed at his chest. Daniel Mu instantly became a notorious stray dog. He was once homeless and even surviving was a luxury.
But who could have thought that the one who caused all this was Lucas Shi, his boyfriend whom he had been dating for three years.
"Why?" In the dirty alley, Daniel Mu, holding the gift thrown out by the landlord, looked at Lucas Shi, who had a cold expression in front of him, with despair in his eyes.
It has been three years. Even if you raise a cat or a dog, you should have some feelings for it. But Lucas Shi wished that Mu Ci would go to hell!
Spreading rumors, fabricating evidence, and deliberately misleading public opinion to harm innocent girls, except for his S3xual orientation, every crime was pinned on him by Lucas Shi.
The saddest thing was that Lucas Shi had made Daniel Mu gay himself, but now, it had become Lucas Shi's best weapon to suppress him.
It's really pitiful and ridiculous.
He pressed his heart subconsciously, the despair still made him breathless even now. However, at this moment, the phone suddenly rang, interrupting Daniel Mu's thoughts. He took a look and saw that it was Lucas Shi's secretary.
"We rarely have anything to tell you." The secretary's voice was businesslike and full of disdain. "You'd better not get involved in Ava Qiao's case. We have already found the best lawyer. If you don't want to get into trouble."
What a familiar order! Daniel Mu subconsciously picked up the calendar on the table and took a look. There was a note on the next day: Train at 5 am, meeting Qiao Qiao at 8 am.
Daniel Mu touched the words, and felt even more bitter in his heart, because he didn't meet Ava Qiao in the end.
Ava Qiao is the victim in Daniel Mu's case.
The only difference between a joke and school violence is "with malice". If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have thought that a 16- or 17-year-old child could be so vicious.
Tearing up books and locking people in the toilet are just the most common operations. Even more vicious are burying needles in shoes and stripping people naked and using them as canvases to insult and paint them.
Just because they felt that the poor smell of Ava Qiao made them disgusted.
Normally, in this situation, as long as Ava Qiao begged for mercy, they would probably get tired of it. But Ava Qiao was very tenacious, not only did it not affect her grades, she also found Daniel Mu and successfully filed a case against the gang in court.
But life doesn't mean you can stand up straight just because you don't want to kneel down. Ava Qiao and Daniel Mu were both suffocated by their desire for justice.
What's even more disgusting is that the culprit who forced Ava Qiao to death and the initiator of school violence turned out to be Lucas Shi's niece. And Lucas Shi's secretary called today for only one purpose, to warn and force Daniel Mu to let go.
But Lucas Shi's niece is a human being, but Ava Qiao is not?
Suppressing the anger in his chest, Daniel Mu responded to the secretary in a calm tone, "Besides these, what else did Lucas Shi say?"
"Of course I suggest you provide some useful evidence, such as Ava Qiao is lying and slandering, and the evidence is false. After all, there are many people who hate the rich these days, not to mention a village girl who was specially recruited into an international school?" Thinking that Daniel Mu agreed, the secretary's tone became more and more impolite. She actually hated dealing with this kind of thing the most, and always felt that it lowered her status.
However, Daniel Mu sneered and asked her, "Village girl? But I seem to remember that you are from the village too."
"What do you want to say?" The secretary's tone suddenly turned cold.
Daniel Mu hit the nail on the head, "Do you think you're a queen when you wear Prada? You look down on others and curse them when you close your mouth. I'm afraid the food you got from other families is being fed to dogs."
The secretary was furious, "You are a kept mistress, you are worse than me. At least I make a living with my hands."
"Yes! He makes a living by being Lucas Shi's right-hand man." It's not an insult, but the truth. Lucas Shi is a scoundrel, and although this secretary is a sidekick to him, he is not clean either.
"You!" The secretary was so angry that her hands began to tremble as she held the phone. "I will convey Mr. Mu's intentions to President Shi in full."
The threat was evident in his words, but Daniel Mu replied directly, "Okay, tell him one more thing, withdraw the lawsuit? Go to hell with it!"
After saying that, Daniel Mu hung up the phone. There was nothing to say to the mushroom spirit that was spreading spores everywhere. He felt sick just by looking at it for a second. As for Lucas Shi's threat, it was nothing to Daniel Mu, who had already succeeded in revenge in his previous life.
"Ding~ The face recognition system has been restarted successfully. Please check the relevant tasks yourself." The system prompt that suddenly came from his mind interrupted Daniel Mu's thoughts.
So this time, the system came so early? Unlike the timeline in his memory, Daniel Mu checked it immediately and found that something was wrong.
This is not the system he was originally bound to, but it looks a bit like the one he rejected!
At the beginning, when Daniel Mu was at the end of his rope, he received two invitations from different systems to bind. One was to get promoted by relying on his face, and the other was to get promoted by relying on his face. Daniel Mu chose the latter without a second thought. So he is not simply reborn now, but has traveled to a parallel world and chosen to bind himself to the face recognition system?
He subconsciously glanced at the task description. In simple terms, he had to capture the Sc*mbag 12345 assigned by the system and make them say to him "I like you, I love you, I am obsessed with you, and I can't help myself from you." If the capture is successful, he will gain points, which can be exchanged for various rewards.
As for the five Sc*mbag gongs arranged by the system, the last four were just familiar, but the first one was actually Lucas Shi!
This is quite troublesome. To be honest, meeting a Sc*mbag is like eating Sh!t. The system's request is no different from forcing Daniel Mu to pick up the Sh!t and eat it again. But the next second, he suddenly reacted and took the initiative to ask the system, "Is it okay as long as I say it myself?"
Daniel Mu discovered that the face recognition system did not have the option of admiration value, and the system's answer was very straightforward, "That's right!"
"Very good." Daniel Mu immediately smiled, "I will definitely make him say this himself!"
He suddenly felt that this mission was not that disgusting. With this in mind, Mu Ci reviewed his current situation again. Then he picked up his coat and prepared to go out.
He didn't plan to do any strategy missions. He had more important things to do than Lucas Shi.
In the previous life, Daniel Mu also rejected Lucas Shi's threats and said on the spot that they had different views and had to break up. But he was still affected in the end.
It has always been very difficult to collect evidence in cases such as campus violence, especially when the parties involved have not suffered great harm. As a civil case, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to proceed.
When the defendant finds a good defense lawyer, it becomes even more difficult to get justice. So after Daniel Mu hung up the phone, he didn't even have time to grieve over love, and was busy thinking about how to win the case.
So he ignored the most important thing, his client.
That’s right, on this day, his client, Ava Qiao, committed suicide by jumping off a building.
The only thing to be thankful for is that in this parallel world, he still has the opportunity to cut off all tragedies at the source.
Thinking of this, Daniel Mu's pace became faster. He checked the nearest train to the provincial capital, which departed at 8 pm, so he would definitely be late. As for the bus, there were no tickets at that time. So after leaving the Legal Aid Center, Daniel Mu chose to take a taxi to the provincial capital as soon as possible.
"Where are you going?" He stopped several cars in a row, and the driver was stunned after hearing the location Daniel Mu said. This is a long distance, and most drivers are unwilling to pick up the car.
But time waits for no one, Daniel Mu could only think of ways to persuade him, "Please do me a favor, I will give you double the car fare including your lost wages during this period. I am really anxious, my client may be in trouble."
It's not easy to do any job. If he really agreed to go to the provincial capital, it would be impossible to come back empty-handed. Daniel Mu just hoped that this master would be willing to give him some convenience.
Fortunately, the driver was also a warm-hearted person. After we agreed on the price, he didn't say much and just let Daniel Mu get in the car, then turned around and drove towards the provincial capital.
"You seem quite young and you can already handle things on your own. That's amazing." The taxi driver in Yanjing always liked to chat with his passengers. It would take at least three hours to get to the provincial capital. Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask Daniel Mu, "Why are you in such a hurry to go to the provincial capital? What's wrong with your client? Is he sick?"
"No," Daniel Mu shook his head, "She wants to commit suicide."
"What's going on?" The driver was also shocked.
Daniel Mu said calmly, "School violence."
"Hey, this is..." The driver's hand on the steering wheel tightened suddenly. He wanted to say, "How can a half-grown child do this?" But in the Internet age, thinking about the news that broke out in the past one or two years, he couldn't say this.
Daniel Mu also fell silent. He tried to call Ava Qiao's cell phone. As expected, it was turned off.
It was exactly the same as the day he remembered. At first, he couldn't get through to Ava Qiao. He thought his phone was out of battery, but three hours later, he received a message.
"Brother Mu, I suddenly feel that the word fairness is not so important anymore."
At that time, Daniel Mu didn't understand the situation and replied, "Don't worry, the lawsuit has to go through legal procedures, and the process will definitely take some time. Don't be too stressed, it will definitely work!"
However, after reading this message, Ava Qiao jumped directly from the top floor of the teaching building.
Because for her, waiting is actually the most tormenting torture.
Taking a deep breath, Daniel Mu felt his heart ache. Relying on his memory, he contacted Ava Qiao's teacher.
After a short wait, someone answered the phone.
"Ava Qiao? She asked for leave and didn't come to school today? Committing suicide? That's impossible. She asked for leave and told me that she was sick and needed to rest in the dormitory. If you don't believe me, I will contact the dormitory for you immediately!"
"Please wait a moment..." Daniel Mu wanted to explain, but the call was quickly hung up and transferred. When he answered it again, the person on the other end of the phone had changed to the dormitory manager of Ava Qiao's dormitory.
"The teacher has already told me the details. Don't talk nonsense about suicide. Ava Qiao just left the dormitory five minutes ago and looks very normal. Don't make trouble. I'll transfer your call to their homeroom teacher. If you don't arrive in class in ten minutes, contact me again."
The call was transferred again. But this time, Daniel Mu didn't wait, but hung up directly. Because he knew that these teachers didn't take his words seriously. After all, in their eyes, the bullying Ava Qiao suffered was just an ordinary fight between classmates.
But Daniel Mu knew that Ava Qiao did not ask for leave on her own. On that day, she was tied naked to the bed by her roommate and left there for the whole day. She managed to break free only in the afternoon.
But when she arrived at the teaching building, she was told that the gang had taken nude photos and planned to sell them to male students in the school. They also forced Ava Qiao to kneel down and apologize to them, withdraw the lawsuit immediately, and become their punching bag.
Ava Qiao had nowhere else to go and finally went to the rooftop.
The teacher's indifference, the dormitory manager's negligence, and the classmates who made fun of her, this is how Ava Qiao was forced to death step by step. Each of them was an executioner who accounted for her blood.
So what was he still hoping for?
Daniel Mu calmed down and dialed 110.
"Hello, my client may be suicidal..."
"Please wait a moment. The local police station will send police immediately."
Three minutes later, the police called to confirm and gave Daniel Mu the best news of the day, "Don't worry, we will dispatch the police immediately and have already dispatched female comrades to assist."
"Don't worry, everything will be fine when the police arrive." The driver next to him saw that Daniel Mu looked unhappy and comforted him.
Daniel Mu said nothing. He called Ava Qiao again. When the call didn't go through, he carefully considered his words and sent a message.
"Qiao Qiao, I'll be there in more than two hours, please wait for me."
It is now 4:20 in the afternoon, and there is still an hour and a half before Josie's death in the previous life.
