Republic of China, Cang Province, Canglin City, Number One Law Firm.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" Natsume slammed his fist on the table and roared angrily.
His eyes were wide open as he stared at the court document he had just received. Due to extreme anger, his entire body was trembling.
Half a month ago, an old woman with tears streaming down her face suddenly came to the law firm. She claimed to be from Canglin City's Lu County. Not long ago, a real estate developer suddenly came to Lu County to demolish all the houses and rebuild a new community.
This should have been a good thing, but the real estate developer was as black-hearted as coal. The compensation was suppressed to an unimaginable level. The villagers could not accept it and boycotted it. The real estate developer hired a large number of hooligans to use all kinds of violent means to deal with the villagers.
The villagers could not resist and were forced to give up the land they had lived on for generations. The old woman and her husband were old and had no children. Once they left their hometown, even survival would be a problem, so they chose to resist to the end.
However, what the old woman never expected was that the construction team actually used a bulldozer to demolish their house one night. The old woman had just woken up and luckily escaped with her life, but her husband was buried alive under the ground!
The old woman was devastated and ran to the county police station to report the case. However, what made her feel hopeless was that the police station not only did not avenge her, but also detained her in the name of disturbing social order. If it weren't for her age, the police would have kept her locked up in there for fear that she would die inside and make a big deal out of it.
After the old woman was released, she went to the county government, the court, the prosecutor's office, and many other departments to file a complaint. However, the cruel reality told her that this path was impossible. She had also gone to the newspapers, television stations, and other media outlets for help, but no one paid any attention to her!
Helpless, she placed her only hope on the lawyer and found Natsume's law firm. In the beginning, the law firm had great sympathy for the old woman's tragic experience, but when everyone learned the name of the real estate developer, they immediately became silent.
Wang Lin was the strongest real estate developer in Canglin City and also the richest man in Canglin City. His network spread throughout Canglin City and even Cang Province. How could they dare to go against Wang Lin?
Therefore, they all refused on the grounds that the old woman could not pay the remuneration. Just as the old woman was in complete despair, Natsume stood up and expressed his willingness to help the old woman seek justice for free!
Natsume had just arrived at Lu County when he was immediately threatened with death by several men in black. However, he was not afraid and finally gathered some evidence. Although the evidence didn't affect Wang Lin, it was enough to stop the development project in Lu County and send the murderers to prison.
However, what he did not expect was that the court's reply was that there was insufficient evidence and he would not sue!
"Father, you often tell me that evil cannot suppress good, but is this really true?”Natsume clenched his fists tightly and said through gritted teeth.
His father, Xia Hao, was a criminal police officer when he was alive. He had a strong sense of justice and caught countless criminals in his short career. His father had told him that evil could not suppress good.
Once, his father caught a rapist. The rapist was sentenced to seven years in prison. Before he went to prison, he shouted that he would definitely take revenge when he came out. His father didn't care, but it was precisely because of this thought that the tragedy happened. The rapist broke into his home on the night he was released from prison and brutally killed his father and mother.
Natsume, who was studying in another city, survived, but he became an orphan from then on. Fortunately, his academic performance was exceptional and he relied on the scholarship to complete his studies.
He had originally hoped that he could enter the court or the prosecutor's office and control the power to try criminals. Unfortunately, his family was poor. How could he have enough money to support him to enter those institutions? He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and become a lawyer. He wanted to use his strong legal knowledge to seek justice for the families of the victims who had no way to seek justice and bring those evildoers to justice.
However, reality and ideals were always far apart. Natsume realized in despair that whenever it came to power and money, the so-called " fair and impartial " law would always become powerless. Ever since he entered the legal profession, he had handled more than 30 criminal cases that were exempted from prosecution due to various inexplicable factors.
And now, he had met another one!
"Father, tell me, why is it like this? Why is it like this?" Natsume fiercely tore the court documents on the table into pieces and shouted.
The book said that everyone was equal before the law, but why was reality so cruel? In the face of power and money, the law was nothing but a joke!
"If the heavens give me a chance, I am willing to become a judge and judge all the sins in this world. I will let all those who are at large receive the punishment they deserve!!”Natsume gritted his teeth and said word by word.
"Plop!"
Suddenly, a book fell from the sky and landed at Natsume's feet.
"Ah!" Natsume was shocked by this sudden scene. When he saw the four characters written on the cover of the book in ancient Chinese characters, he was even more shocked.
" Book…Book of Death?!" Natsume's eyes widened as he stared at the book on the ground.
