Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

"Lawyer Wu, how's it going?"

Lin Chuan asked again.

Wu Zheng's mouth twitched as he thought to himself, Thirty yuan's consolation fee, that's tough to earn!

But Lin Chuan was a client, so he had to bite the bullet and answer this obviously fabricated case, "Client, the case you propose is a serious infringement case, and if it involves national military secrets, then you can only hire a professional lawyer to try and lessen the sentencing."

In his mind, he commented, even lessening it would still get you shot!

"If it's an international case—that is, if a foreign weapons company sues me—it doesn't involve our military secrets, what then?" Lin Chuan, seeing that Wu Zheng seemed quite professional, continued to inquire.

Um...

Lawyer Wu Zheng furrowed his eyebrows. Could this case really go on like this?

Thus, he couldn't help but ask, "Forgive my bluntness, are you a web novel writer?"

"How did you know?" Lin Chuan chatted with him.

Sometimes, web novel writers would do these seemingly boring things.

Especially those who lock themselves in a dark room and type furiously, when facing a writer's block, not to mention having a conversation with AI, they could even babble on to a dog for half a day.

Web novel writers have a very small circle of real-life interactions, mostly consisting of online friends.

For example: editors, colleagues, readers.

"You really are a novel writer, huh?" Wu Zheng hadn't expected his casual inquiry to be accurate!

Undoubtedly, the writer across from him was stuck in his writing and, with nothing better to do, had spent thirty yuan for an online chat.

Well, then this legal consultation could be easily resolved.

"Writing novels is my main job, sometimes I do some side jobs," Lin Chuan smiled and replied.

Wu Zheng also relaxed, his attitude lightened, "Understood, the current environment isn't great, solely writing novels doesn't earn much, doing some side jobs is a good idea!"

Lin Chuan's hands were fast, his keyboard clacking loudly, "That's true, but the side jobs bring more trouble."

"Hope your novel sells big!"

Wu Zheng offered his good wishes, then returned to the case itself, "Getting back to the point, if it's an overseas weapons research company suing you, there are several scenarios to consider."

"Please enlighten me!"

There are specialties in every field, Lin Chuan humbly said.

"I need to ask a few more questions. Which country's court did the plaintiff file the lawsuit in?" Wu Zheng asked.

"Over here," Lin Chuan replied.

"In this hypothetical case, how did you infringe the plaintiff's patent?"

"The plaintiff claims I infringed, but I'm not aware of the details."

"Do you have thirty billion in assets?"

"I suppose so."

"Did the court freeze them?"

Lin Chuan glanced at the Little Landlady, who shook her head, and he replied, "Not yet."

"Then you can rest easy, under these circumstances, even if the case proceeds, it's just a formality. After all, with a case like this, even if it actually happened, as long as you insist that there was no infringement, I can find a way to win this lawsuit for you," Wu Zheng had entered a certain mode, similar to 'Zhang Wei.'

It's widely known.

In the legal field, there are only three types of lawyers, Zhang San, Zhang Wei, others.

Zhang San's abilities are outrageous, sending judges, opposing lawyers, audience, witnesses, all to jail.

Zhang Wei is even more formidable.

He could make the court change 'defendant compensates 2 million' to 'defendant gets 20 years in prison,' and it's foreseeable, he might even end up in there himself.

Quite powerful!

Lin Chuan chuckled, "You can fight this lawsuit?"

Wu Zheng took it as just a plot from Lin Chuan's novel, and boldly replied to Lin Chuan,

"Of course, my teacher is Mr. Luo! I'm a professional lawyer, certified, and moreover, I feel we hit it off well. If you let me handle this lawsuit for you, guaranteed victory, and I'll do it for free!"

Lin Chuan turned to the Little Landlady, "There's a free lawyer."

The Little Landlady had been watching from the sidelines with amusement as Lin Chuan and Wu Zheng talked, her lips curling into a smile.

However, when it came to actually hiring a lawyer, it was still necessary to be cautious and prudent.

So, the Little Landlady restrained her smile, sporting a serious look, and asked, "He doesn't seem very professional, does he?"

"We don't need professional."

Lin Chuan thought for a moment, nodding to himself, and murmured, "He doesn't need to say a word, we could probably still win this lawsuit!"

"Chairman, are you that confident?" The Little Landlady was somewhat surprised.

Lin Chuan ruffled the Little Landlady's hair, messing up her bangs and making them crisscross on her forehead, giving Xinxin both a messy beauty and a touch of distress, making her look irresistibly lovable.

Then, Lin Chuan said, "Wu Zheng may not be professional, but I am!"

"What's your profession?"

"I sell military weapons, and I can guarantee that I haven't infringed any technological patents of the Sania Weapons Research Company. The patents are now under Falcon Company, with the National Weapons Research Institute as well; filing a lawsuit in Anling is a bit complicated, but there's no reason we'd lose." Lin Chuan wasn't too worried about this.

That was his confidence.

Backed by the National Weapons Research Institute, fighting a lawsuit against a foreign weapons company on his home turf? Losing would be bizarre!

Moreover, coincidentally, the court date was set for 'December 20th,' and the day before, on December 19th, was the testing launch of the 600 km range 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher.'

Sania Weapons Research Company accused Lin Chuan of infringing on their 370 km version of the 'Remote Box-type Rocket Launcher.'
