Indeed, those with ability in this industry all aspire to become top lawyers, as it sounds prestigious and the income is very high if one excels.

Gu Zhiyao naturally didn't tell Lin Houze the real reason. Lin Houze didn't force her to do anything and changed the subject, "Are you hungry? Let's go get some late-night snacks. There's a noodle stall up ahead that's similar to the one near our university. Shall we try it?"

Seeing his hospitable manner and considering that he had stayed with her so late all night, Gu Zhiyao felt she should thank him and nodded, "Okay, but it's my turn to pay tonight!"

"Hehe, sure, it's your treat!"

Soon the two arrived at the stall. Lin Houze was wearing an expensive suit, but he didn't mind the simplicity of the place at all. He pulled out a stool and sat down, picked up chopsticks and handed them to Gu Zhiyao, and took a pair for himself. Everything was very natural.

The long-awaited taste was enjoyed by everyone. During the meal, Lin Houze talked about some past events at school, many of which Gu Zhiyao didn't remember. However, she still tried her best to cooperate with him or quietly listen.

Around 10 o'clock, Lin Houze drove Gu Zhiyao back to Lin Yu's rented place.

"Is Lin Yu still doing live streaming?" Lin Houze asked.

"Yes, she's quite good at this."

Lin Houze smiled and said, "When she was in school, her professional knowledge wasn't very good. It seems she often had to retake exams. At the time, everyone was discussing why she chose this major if she didn't like it. I think she should have chosen live streaming or media."

Gu Zhiyao smiled and said goodbye to him, watching his car drive away before she entered the residential area.

Next, she officially followed up on the assault case. With the help of Lin Houze and Li Xuedong, all the procedures went smoothly. What made Gu Zhiyao happy was that since Wen Shiren was prosecuted, his reputation had plummeted, and the Wen Group had also been affected.

Of course, Gu Zhiyao wanted more than just that. Her ultimate goal was to put Wen Shiren in jail and give Xiaoyu and her family justice.

Unexpectedly, Wenya came looking for him that day!

Gu Zhiyao had just returned from Xiaoyu's place and was about to go buy something when Wenya blocked her way!

"Gu Zhiyao, you damn slut, how dare you treat my brother like this, I'll beat you to death!" Wen Ya cursed as soon as she saw Gu Zhiyao, and even raised her hand to hit her.

But Gu Zhiyao grabbed her in time and then slapped Wen Ya hard across the face.

Wen Ya was shocked. Covering her burning cheek, she roared at Gu Zhiyao in uncontrollable rage, "Gu Zhiyao, how dare you hit me? You bitch, I'll tear you apart!"

“Miss Wen, your brother disregarded the law and assaulted a poor girl. He should be punished by law and go to jail! As for you, if you want to go to jail with him, go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm not afraid of you!”

"you……"

"That's right, I deliberately exonerated Xiaoyu, Wenya. Do you remember what I said back then? I will never let you go. I will use your blood to pay homage to my child!"

"Heh, what does it have to do with me if you won't let me go? It was all Zheng Yuanxi's doing. You shamelessly got pregnant with He Yi's bastard child. Zheng Yuanxi and He Yi are lovers, she definitely won't let you give birth to this bastard. If you have the guts, go find her and take revenge. Do you dare?"

“I will. I will not let anyone who has hurt my child get away with it. First and foremost, you, Wen Ya, you culprit! Don’t think I know nothing. If Zheng Yuanxi deserves to die, then you deserve to go to the eighteenth level of hell! Your brother is also being targeted by me because of you. I will not let him go. I will definitely bring him to justice!”

"Gu Zhiyao, you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. Do you know what the Wen family is? If you dare to go against us, you'll be killed!"

Gu Zhiyao was not afraid and looked at her coldly. Wen Ya's anger grew stronger and stronger. She wanted to beat Gu Zhiyao up, but she had no chance. She was no match for Gu Zhiyao in a one-on-one fight. In the end, she could only leave in a rage.

Gu Zhiyao remained calm and composed, then started walking forward, unaware that He Yi was sitting in a black sedan next to her, who had seen everything just now.

He Yi didn't expect Wen Ya to come looking for trouble again. He had almost gone out to stop Wen Ya when he saw her preparing to hit him, but he didn't need to step in at all; Wen Ya was able to fight back on her own.

Quan Xinyu was also in the car. He quickly did his research and looked shocked.

"What's wrong?" He Yi asked.

"President, it turns out that the defense lawyer for the girl Wen Shiren assaulted is Gu Zhiyao."

He Yi was also greatly shocked, and finally understood why Wen Ya had come to find Gu Zhiyao today.

The Wen Shih-jen sexual assault case was known in the circle at the time, and he had heard about it, but he was neither a policeman nor a judge. Although he despised Wen Shih-jen's behavior, he would not step forward to teach Wen Shih-jen a lesson or to try him. Moreover, he heard at the time that the victim's family had already received money to settle out of court.

I never expected the case to be overturned.

Gu Zhiyao is the lawyer who overturned the verdict.

How could she do such a thing?

Wasn't she in legal counsel? How did she end up becoming a lawyer? When did she get her lawyer's license? Besides, she can only take this case if the law firm assigns her to it. Did she find a new job as a lawyer?

Quan Xinyu continued his investigation, "The law firm that represents us is called Huize Law Firm. The founder is Lin Houze, who was a classmate of Gu Zhiyao. This explains why Gu Zhiyao was able to join the law firm so quickly."

Based on what Gu Zhiyao just said to Wen Ya, she probably harbors deep resentment towards Wen Ya for poisoning her and her child, and therefore wants revenge. However, the Wen family wields considerable power in Yun City, as many people should know. How could Lin Houze possibly agree to let Gu Zhiyao overturn her case?

"Do you have a photo of Lin Houze?" He Yi suddenly asked.

“Yes, this one!” Quan Xinyu showed He Yi the photo that Lin Houze had posted on the lawyer’s website.

He Yi recognized him immediately; he was the man who had gone out to eat with Gu Zhiyao that day.

As a man, he knew very well that this Lin Houze had special feelings for her, and the way he looked at her was obviously different!

He Yijun's face darkened slightly, and a peculiar emotion welled up in his heart that even he did not know.

"By the way, Mr. He, Gu Zhiyao just said that she wouldn't let Miss Zheng off the hook either. Could she be thinking of some way to get revenge on Miss Zheng? Should we stop her?" Quan Xinyu reminded him again.

Just as he had thought, even though Zheng Yuanxi had done those things, and President He was somewhat unhappy at the time, he ultimately chose to forgive her and get back together with her. They've even started preparing for their wedding recently. In the future, Zheng Yuanxi will be President He's wife, so naturally he has to protect her.

He Yi didn't answer Quan Xinyu, but instead gave him another instruction: "Keep an eye on Gu Zhiyao. The Wen family will definitely not let her go. Report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Oh? Okay, Mr. President."

"Let's go back to the company."

Quan Xinyu was still thinking about Zheng Yuanxi and wondered if he should ask her again. But seeing He Yi leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, lost in thought, he didn't dare to disturb him. He just made a mental note of it and told someone to keep a close eye on Gu Zhiyao. If Gu Zhiyao did anything related to Zheng Yuanxi, he would report it to He Yi immediately.
