Advocate You Can't Ignore Chapter 3

Was it Ava Qiao's lawyer? The couple looked at each other in surprise. Sophie Yu's father was calmer and quickly clarified, "Teacher, it's not like that. It was that lawyer who deliberately framed her. My daughter would never bully her classmates in school."

However, this explanation was obviously too superficial for the school. "I'm sorry, after verification by our school, the attachment to the case filing receipt and related evidence are authentic, and the lawyer provided is a licensed lawyer from the Yenching Legal Aid Center. If you want to refute it, at least produce evidence first. Otherwise, I'm sorry." After the school said this, they turned around and hung up the phone.

After Sophie Yu's parents hung up the phone, they could no longer maintain the calm expression on their faces.

"Go check, what's the name of the lawyer who's suing Ava Qiao? Yan Jing? Are there still such blind people in Yan Jing now?"

The secretary quickly did as he was told, and five minutes later, he brought Daniel Mu's information to Sophie Yu's father.

"Daniel Mu? I haven't heard of such a person in Yanjing..." Sophie Yu's father subconsciously guessed that Daniel Mu might have a background to rely on to be so bold. But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that his wife's expression was not right.

"you know?"

"Hmm." Sophie Yu's mother hesitated a little, "It seems to be my brother's lover."

"What?" Sophie Yu's father was stunned at first, but after getting the affirmative answer from the secretary, he couldn't help but sneer, "Great, really great! The little rabbit your brother raised can bully your daughter!"

After saying that, the father turned around and left. Sophie Yu's mother quickly sent a message to Lucas Shi and followed him.

At this time, Daniel Mu at the hospital didn't know that Sophie Yu's parents had notified Lucas Shi. He was concentrating on accompanying Ava Qiao in the hospital.

Ava Qiao's condition was very bad. She had been standing on the rooftop for so long in wet clothes, and her temperature had already risen. Although the doctor gave her an antipyretic injection, she was still groggy.

Daniel Mu asked the nurse in the bed next to him to help look after Ava Qiao, and he went to the first floor to handle the admission procedures for her and buy some necessary supplies for hospitalization. After all this trouble, it was already an hour later when Daniel Mu returned to the ward.

The wards in the provincial hospital were always short of resources. There were two other children in the same ward as Ava Qiao. It was getting late, and their parents were by their side, coaxing them to sleep with soft words. But Ava Qiao... was alone.

Daniel Mu walked over quietly, only to find that Ava Qiao had woken up at some point, with her eyes half open and no light in them.

"Jojo?"

"Brother Mu, you're here?" Seeing Daniel Mu coming in, Ava Qiao forced herself to sit up and wanted to smile at him, but the corners of her lips eventually turned into a twisted and weird shape.

"Lie down." Daniel Mu touched her head, "Are you okay? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Ava Qiao did not answer, but asked Daniel Mu another question, "Brother Mu, why did you come to me today? Is it about the notarization fee?"

Daniel Mu specializes in legal aid. When Ava Qiao chose to seek help from him, she knew that she didn't need to pay lawyer fees. But even so, Ava Qiao still had to pay for the notarization of relevant evidence.

Ava Qiao's family was burdened with heavy financial burdens, and she simply couldn't have much money. So she discussed with Daniel Mu whether they could pay in installments. She would go out to work every day and pay Daniel Mu back every month after she got paid.

Now that we calculate the time, it is time to pay the notarization fee.

However, Daniel Mu shook his head. "No, it's because I haven't heard from you for a long time and I'm worried."

"But there are so many people around me, and they don't worry about me. Some even wish I were really dead."

"They told me to jump." Josie didn't know how to express her feelings.

She and Daniel Mu were just casual acquaintances, but Daniel Mu was the best person to her besides her parents.

"My teacher and my previous doctor only coaxed me with words. Only you, Brother Mu, want to help me with the lawsuit and tell me to fight and not accept my fate. Only Brother Mu will tell me what a true friend is and make me believe that those people I talk about are really bullying me and not joking."

"Like today, the provincial capital and Yanjing are more than three hours away by car. But you still came."

"Thank you." These two words were simple, but they were the only response Ava Qiao could give to Daniel Mu.

Daniel Mu tucked the quilt for her, "Then get well soon."

"I hope so." Ava Qiao's voice was very light, as if she was very tired. She closed her eyes slightly and after a long while she asked Daniel Mu an off-topic question, "Brother Mu, is not having money a sin?"

"Why do you think so?"

"I have talked to teachers before, but they said they were joking with me because I was different from others."

"She said, it's my fault."

"That's not the case."

"Then can I drop out of school?" Ava Qiao looked up at Daniel Mu with pleading eyes, but the next second the little girl shook her head, "No, I was sent to the provincial capital because of the foreign debt. Even if I die in school, I have to continue studying."

"Jojo..."

"Brother Mu, I lied to my parents. I said I was fine and that my teachers and classmates were all very nice. But that's not the case at all."

"This is a school for rich people. It's only natural for a poor kid like me to be bullied and insulted. Because I smell like poverty all over my body. Even if I want to seek justice, I don't have the money and I don't have the qualifications."

"Brother Mu, is the evidence notarization fee very expensive?"

"four thousand."

"What about the medical expenses?"

"The deposit is five thousand."

"Is that so?" Ava Qiao was overwhelmed. Poor people don't even have the right to get sick!

Their family only earns 10,000 yuan a year without food or drink, and this amount of money is not enough for her classmates to buy a bag. How can I be qualified to breathe the same air with them?

Ava Qiao closed her eyes to hide the despair in them, and Daniel Mu's eyes also turned slightly red.

Ava Qiao is a good girl. Although she is poor, she is always strong and optimistic. Daniel Mu still remembers the first time he saw her. Even though there were bruises on her face, her eyes were full of light. When she talked about her parents, she was gentle and sweet. When she talked about her hometown, she was full of longing and pride. Although she was poor, her heart was richer than anyone else.

But now, he has been tortured into this state.

"Don't talk nonsense." Daniel Mu reached out and hugged Ava Qiao in his arms, "Don't think about these things, little girl. Brother Mu has money! As for the lawsuit, don't worry, I will definitely win for you."

The girl in his arms was too thin. The small part of her wrist outside her hospital gown was so thin that it seemed like it would break if he exerted the slightest force.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about something happy." In order to divert Ava Qiao's mood, Daniel Mu took out his briefcase and took out a piece of paper from it to show her.

But Ava Qiao's eyes turned red the moment she saw it. It was the case filing receipt, something she had tried so hard to get but failed to get. She never expected that Daniel Mu would actually do it two weeks after accepting the commission.

"Is this true?" Josie's hands holding the paper began to tremble.

Daniel Mu nodded, "Yes, it's true. The trial will start in a month." He touched her hair, "Qiao Qiao, get well soon."

"Yeah." Ava Qiao nodded and finally burst into tears.

It's not easy, it's really not easy. Fortunately, despite the difficulties, she still sees hope.

"Brother, can you hug me?" As if all the suppressed emotions burst out at this moment, Ava Qiao hugged Daniel Mu tightly and cried loudly. Even though several parents in the bed next to her were watching her, she didn't care.

I don’t know how long I cried, but Ava Qiao finally vented her pent-up emotions, and Daniel Mu also felt a lot more at ease.

When the doctor came to check on the ward in the evening, he talked to him about Ava Qiao's condition.

"Based on the patient's current condition, I suggest that he stay in the hospital for a week and ask a psychologist for psychological counseling."

Before Daniel Mu could speak, Ava Qiao shook her head and said, "No need."

Her family was already in debt, and she didn't know how much it would cost to get out of the hospital. She had heard of the psychologist, but if she really followed the procedure, it would probably become a bottomless pit.

"Then you guys discuss it." The doctor saw that Ava Qiao's condition was special, gave the most appropriate medical advice and then left.

In the ward, Ava Qiao shook her head at Daniel Mu, "Brother Mu, I can't drag you down like this anymore."

A little help may bring gratitude, a big help may bring resentment. Daniel Mu is not her parent, so there is no reason for her to always rely on him.

However, Daniel Mu gently pinched her nose bridge and said, "Didn't I tell you to trust me? I have a way!"

Ava Qiao was stunned. Ava Qiao had also heard about Daniel Mu's story.

Daniel Mu was an orphan. When he was twelve or thirteen years old, both his parents died, and his family property was taken away by his wicked relatives. If it weren't for the help of the lawyer at the Legal Aid Center, it's hard to say whether he could survive until now. That's why Daniel Mu chose to work at the Yanjing Legal Aid Center after graduating from university. And now he must have spent a lot of money on his lawsuit. If he continues to spend money, she is afraid that Daniel Mu won't be able to guarantee his own life.

Therefore, Ava Qiao felt that it was not possible. But Daniel Mu signaled her not to ask any more questions.

"The most important thing for you now is to get enough rest and recover from your illness. Other brothers have ways to help you."

Josie opened her mouth, but could only say "thank you."

The city is clearly such a scary place, with countless people secretly spying on her and wanting to devour her. But there is also a warm existence like Daniel Mu.

Ava Qiao leaned her head on Daniel Mu's shoulder, "Brother Mu, thank you so much."

Daniel Mu patted her back and coaxed Ava Qiao to lie down on the bed to rest. After another half an hour, seeing Ava Qiao fall asleep, Daniel Mu quietly left the ward.

Sitting on a bench in the hospital's small garden, Daniel Mu calculated his current wealth and couldn't help but sigh.

He had lived a life of luxury in his previous life and had forgotten what it was like to be poor. He checked his only two bank cards and found that he only had two thousand yuan left. To put it bluntly, even if he went to the notary office to notarize the evidence, this amount of money would be a drop in the bucket.

But there are bigger troubles ahead.

Daniel Mu wanted to file Ava Qiao's case as a private criminal prosecution case. This type of case is different from criminal cases that are directly reported to the police and investigated by the police. All evidence collection is done by oneself.

Ava Qiao's suicide has already made the matter a big deal. According to the habits of those families, they have not spoken for such a long time, so they must have cleaned up their mess very neatly. If they want to collect evidence again, it will definitely be a long tug-of-war. And what supports this war is money in the end.

Just like what Ava Qiao said just now, poor people sometimes can't even afford to sue. So now, making money has become the top priority.

Licensed lawyers at the Legal Aid Center were not allowed to take on cases for profit, so he had to think of other ways. Daniel Mu stared at his phone for a while, then stood up and left the hospital to go to the Internet cafe.

After finding a private room and sitting down, he turned on his computer, slowly logged into the most famous lawyer forum in China, and clicked on the help section for difficult problems.

Different from the rigorous academic style of the other areas, the atmosphere of the area for asking for help with difficult questions is obviously more lively and casual.

Reward: There is no evidence that my husband is having an affair. How can I get him to leave the house?

Reward: My hometown is being demolished, and my non-blood-related brother brought by my stepmother is asking for a share of the house. The case has been filed in court. How can I protect my rights?

Reward:...

The first page alone is filled with questions that need to be answered with a reward, most of which are related to civil disputes. The price of the reward varies.

The cheapest ones cost one or two hundred yuan, and the most expensive ones cost only three or five hundred yuan. But the advantage is that there are a lot of them. And these are actually the ways that Daniel Mu thought of to make money.

This is normal. Now is different from the past. With the popularization of law, people are used to resolving many issues through lawsuits. However, not all cases require the involvement of lawyers. For some simpler cases, the parties can file a complaint themselves.

But you can't just file a lawsuit whenever you want, especially divorce and inheritance disputes, which are among the most trivial and troublesome types of cases.

It's not that serious to find a lawyer, so why not? This person sued, but he was confused about how and from what angle to sue.

In the economic society, lawyers' consultation involves real advice and needs to be charged. For example, it is not impossible to charge you 3,000 yuan per hour for divorce consultation. But it is really not worth spending so much money.

Therefore, lawyers' forums gradually developed a customary mechanism: offering rewards for answers.

Of course, you don’t have to worry about being cheated. Because as long as the answer is accepted, you can see all the answers. And the answer will invite other lawyers to be judges. If the number of votes against is too high, you will not receive the money even if the answer is accepted.

Therefore, if you really meet a liar, you will be exposed quickly.

This way of making money is naturally not easy, but at least, Daniel Mu has to collect the subsequent notarization fees for Ava Qiao's case first!

After all, lawyers are not policemen. When submitting relevant evidence in criminal private prosecution cases, it is impossible to accurately determine the validity and relevance of the evidence. Therefore, the best way is to submit all the relevant evidence together for notarization. This amount of money may not be a big deal for some people. But for Daniel Mu and Ava Qiao's family now, it is a huge sum of money.

Daniel Mu was going to start from the one with the highest reward. But by chance, there was one, and the reward was as high as 10,000.

However, this problem has not been solved for a whole week. In other words, many people have tried to solve it, but the solutions they proposed have not been adopted.

Quite interesting. Daniel Mu clicked on the question and looked at it, with some interest in his eyes.
