Zhou Ling's expression says "Isn't this obvious?" "She doesn't want to divorce now, isn't it because of the child?"

Jiang Baige shook her head: "No, now it's not the child who is begging her, it's her who can't bear to leave the child."

"Is there any difference between the two..." Zhou Ling was puzzled, "Are you trying to play some word game with me?"

"Of course there is a difference. She can't bear to leave her child, so she took the initiative. Although her husband is threatening her now, he is trying to coax her to come home, so he has not taken any extreme actions for the time being. But if her life is threatened, will she still choose to give up her life for the hope of her child?"

Zhou Ling understood Jiang Baige's meaning a little bit. But the problem was that it had not reached that stage yet, so everything was just speculation.

She didn't know that Jiang Baige's words were based on "facts".

In her previous life, after Dai Yanling was splashed with concentrated sulfuric acid by her husband, she was interviewed once accompanied by her family.

That was also her last public appearance.

The concentrated sulfuric acid not only disfigured her, but also severely burned her throat, but she still expressed her thoughts with difficulty: she would definitely sue her husband Wang Liang!

Because she was too emotional and weak, the subsequent interview was completed by her family.

In an interview, her family told reporters: In fact, after the incident, Wang Liang’s family, even her son, expressed the hope that her mother could forgive her father, because after all, they are "a family", but Dai Yanling's attitude remains firm - even if she is misunderstood by her son, she must seek justice.

It was this interview that made Jiang Baige convinced that as long as Dai Yanling could be made to realize the seriousness of the problem, she would firmly divorce even if the children spoke for her husband.

The problem now returns to the "origin" that Zhou Ling and others are helpless about: Dai Yanling did not realize that her body would be harmed.

Perhaps in her heart, there is also a "traditional concept", that is, domestic violence is a "family matter". Although her husband beats her, they are still "family" and even if he beats her, he will not kill her.

This view certainly seemed naive to Qu Lu and the others, but they could not guarantee 100% that Dai Yanling would be beaten to death by her husband.

They may not want this to happen even more than anyone else.

In addition, the man has Dai Yanling's two children in his hands, and now she doesn't know that at least one of the children will eventually betray her.

Jiang Baige still has many questions to answer:

Does Dai Yanling have a good relationship with her child?

She has been away from home for several years to work. Does she still understand her children well?

For them, are children a key to success or a hidden danger of failure?

Jiang Baige didn't even know she actually had two children because her family only mentioned her son in the interview.

But every doubt in the process may lead to the final tragedy. So in order to prevent the tragedy, as Zhou Ling said, we must obtain as much evidence as possible.

So she had to go this time.

"If you are worried about the client's emotions, then I can be near you... or you can wear a small listening device, or record the conversation?" Jiang Baige almost held Zhou Ling's hand and knelt on her knees. "Believe me, letting me participate will definitely be beneficial to your lawsuit."

Zhou Ling had no doubt about the last point.

Because Jiang Baige had helped her and many other people before, and she had seen it with her own eyes.

So she neither doubted Jiang Baige's sincerity nor her ability.

That being the case...

Zhou Ling convinced himself: "I understand. I will tell Qu Lu about your situation..."

"Oh, right..." Jiang Baige suddenly remembered something, "You can show Qu Lu the novels I wrote! The one about cyberbullying, the one about patricide, whatever... Maybe after reading them, she will trust me a little more."

Without giving Zhou Ling a chance to refuse, Jiang Baige ran to the bookshelf, grabbed a second edition of a patricide story that she had brought from Lin Cheng, and stuffed it into Zhou Ling's schoolbag.

Zhou Ling smiled helplessly, but ultimately did not refuse.

To her surprise, a few days later, when she met Qu Lu and mentioned Jiang Baige's matter and gave him the book, Qu Lu did not express any rejection.

He even replied to her a day later, agreeing with Jiang Baige's suggestion.

Zhou Ling half-jokingly asked Jiang Baige if there was some kind of spell in the book that made Qu Lu agree to this.

This matter is somewhat related to rebirth, but it is also reasonable not to mention rebirth, so Jiang Baige did not hide it from her.

"You said yourself that Qu Lu has a certain amount of knowledge in various fields, so why didn't you think that she is also interested in literature?"

"What do you mean?"

"In high school, you learned 'Literature carries the message', do you still remember it?"

Zhou Ling nodded.

Jiang Baige added: "Then you should also know that the law is actually lagging behind, right?"

Zhou Ling continued to nod: "Of course, this is also for the sake of rigor."

"At this time, literature can make up for it. Novels are fictional, but they are based on reality and convey the author's views on many things. They are humane, which is an additional supplement to the rationality of the law.

"For example, my article about patricide. If you look at it from a legal perspective, she is guilty. But if you only see her as guilty and ignore the root cause of her choice, there will be more children who will choose to take risks in order to survive because they have been hurt by their fathers.

“Is this the effect the law wants? No, right? But when the law cannot write this into the law, this kind of thing is still happening... Then I will write it down and let more people think about it, maybe it will promote the update and progress of the law...

“Of course, my book does not have such power yet. But such examples are not uncommon in the history of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literature.

"I asked you to give this book to Qu Lu because that's what I meant... I'm on the same side as you. You have legal means, and I have a literary perspective. What we need to do is to help those who have a hard time speaking out on their own to get justice."

After Jiang Baige finished speaking, she realized that Zhou Ling had actually taken out a notebook.

"What are you..."

"White Dove, what you said is so good, I have to write it down!"

Jiang Baige: Zhou Ling, I told you not to be so exaggerated...

Because some of the views here were originally borrowed from Qu Lu.

In order to write the article about patricide, Jiang Baige collected a lot of legal knowledge. As a result, she got to know Qu Lu and read some of her interviews.

Also, because she herself is a novelist, she found Qu Lu's mention of the connection between literature and law very interesting and kept it in mind.

I didn't expect it would come in handy this time...

This only proves that Dai Yanling, that concentrated sulfuric acid was not meant to be in your destiny!
