Someone jumped!
Someone jumped?!
Meibin,
did you push Li Jia'er down?
No!
I didn't, I didn't push her!
You're responsible for this case.
I can't deal with a campus dispute.
I have a temper.
Me and young people...
We don't get along.
You can't handle a campus dispute?
Or you don't think the money's enough?
Mr. Zhang,
you're new, so maybe you don't know.
Simon is an expert on these kinds of cases.
He's a pro, so he should handle it.
Me?
I want you!
The other side's repped by Qing Yun.
Don't you want to be seen?
Now's your chance to show everyone what you've got.
Why?
Why me?
My advice,
the best way to handle campus disputes is reconciliation.
It saves everyone's time and effort.
Right.
Reconciliation.
My god.
What the hell are you doing here?
What?
You know me?
You were that asshole, Meng Hao's lawyer.
I've mocked you online.
Very good.
I did work for Meng Hao.
So please go out and turn right.
Find a lawyer called Zhang Xiaoyang.
Go ahead and tell him exactly what you just told me
and then ask him to get you a new lawyer.
Thank you so much.
I've already been told by your firm
that you're the only one free.
Do you think that I want this?
Li Jia'er's parents want to reconcile.
So reconcile.
Reconciliation?
I'll never reconcile with them.
I've done nothing wrong.
You listen,
I didn't push that bitch!
First,
I have a name, Lin Xingran.
Second,
I've done my research.
The girl's name is Li Jia'er,
not "Bitch".
That's what she really is.
She is a bitch,
a shameless bitch.
Let me make this clear.
Show some respect.
You're in a law firm.
If you keep using that language in here,
no one's going to help you.
Miss Foul-Mouth.
Are you insulting me?
Is that what you think?
I'm just...
giving you a nickname.
It doesn't feel good, does it?
Now you know how others feel.
Everybody calls her that...
I'm not the only one.
Who was the one that started it?
Who got everyone else to say it?
Who's always had a problem with her?
It's you, right?
And you pushed her out the window.
I did give her that nickname,
and encouraged other to call her that.
But I didn't push her!
Insulting nicknames are one type of campus bullying.
Is bullying fun?
Is hurting others fun?
How about trying to kill people?
No.
It can't be that serious.
I didn't push her! I swear I didn't.
Ms. Lin,
please believe me.
It wouldn't matter if I did.
I need evidence.
The current evidence is all against you.
According to Criminal Law, article 234,
intentionally harming another person
can land you in jail for 3 years,
plus extended surveillance.
If it's excessive, the punishment doled out
may be heavier.
Moreover,
your previous bullying of Li Jia'er
violates Educational Law,
Tort Liability Law,
and Law on Public Security Administration, etc.
As a law major,
you should be aware of that.
If this case makes it all the way to the courts,
it won't just be compensation.
You'll be going to jail.
With a criminal record,
your future will be ruined.
So the choice is yours.
What will it be?
I'll reconcile.
I'll reconcile, okay?
Meibin?
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Did you get into trouble again?
We have no money to throw at you.
I borrowed money to pay your tuition fees.
So behave and focus on your studies.
Don't think of coming home
if you don't graduate!
Do you understand?!
What can I do?
My family won't help me.
Nobody at school believes me.
Even my lawyer doesn't believe me.
No one will listen to me.
If I just killed myself,
that would end this.
Meibin!
Snap out of it!
Are you crazy?
You really want to die?
Jiang Xia?
Why is he here?
Will he believe me?
No way.
He'll never believe me.
Nobody will believe me.
Here.
I believe you.
Really?
You believe that I didn't do it?
No one wants to help me.
Who is your lawyer?
Let's go see her.
That old cat from Cheng Tian Law Firm,
Lin Xingran.
Lin Xingran?
Yeah. It's her.
She believed a total loser
and even defended him,
but she won't help me.
She doesn't believe me.
Impossible.
She's not that kind of person.
You know her?
Just let me go with you.
I can convince her.
Okay.
I didn't push her, really!
I don't know why her family is blaming it on me.
My family is broke.
I have to pay all my own expenses.
How am I supposed to pay compensation?
No.
It's no use.
If they refuse to reconcile,
and bring it to court,
I'll lose.
I'll even lose my job.
Why are you here?
You know each other?
No.
Why are you here?
This is my classmate.
He's also a law major.
I'll ask you some questions once we're inside.
All you need to say is "yes".
Remember,
only say "yes".
The less you speak, the better.
Also,
remember to say:
Your Honor,
it is my fault.
To everyone else,
I've reflected on myself.
Please forgive me.
My name is Zhao Meibin.
Got all that?
I asked you a question.
Meibin,
wait for me inside.
Ms. Lin,
I want to talk with you.
Who are you?
Why should I speak with you?
Hey! Stop!
Stop!
Put me down!
What the hell?
We're in front of the courthouse!
Put me down!
Stop it! You're kidnapping me!
This is coercive violence!
Meibin didn't push Jia'er.
Please help clear her name.
Who are you?
I'm...
A classmate of Meibin's.
Do you know the case?
Been to the crime scene?
She tried to kill herself after seeing you before.
I stopped her.
So?
So you should help her.
Defend her.
See that justice is served.
As her lawyer,
shouldn't you listen to what she thinks?
You can't just decide she's guilty.
You're in no position to educate me.
The law requires evidence.
The evidence right now is against her.
What can I do?
I have evidence.
What evidence do you have?
What is this?
Do you think...
...staring at me will make evidence appear?
Who are you?
How can you know...
...what I'm going to say?
How are you able to read my thoughts?
I can hear what's in people's minds.
That's the evidence.

Why do I feel like
we've met somewhere before?
Do you remember me, Lin Xingran?
Is he some kind of monster?
I'm not a monster.
I'm a normal person.
Don't read my mind.
It's a privacy violation.
I could press charges.
Let's figure out a way
to help Mei Bin.
You're all she's got now.
She can't afford to pay compensation.
I can't help her.
Shouldn't you at least try?
I would like to, but I can't.
At least they're only asking for compensation.
Without any evidence,
we'll only irritate the prosecutor, okay?
I just told you.
I am the evidence.
Are you?
So you want to stand up in court
and say...
you can read minds?
Will they believe you?
Even if they believe you,
how can you prove to them
you're not lying
on her behalf?
I wouldn't lie.
That's not important.
In the courtroom, it isn't the truth that matters.
It's the evidence.
You still can't help Zhao Meibin.
You can't help me, either.
As a lawyer,
don't you believe that the truth should prevail?
If the truth always prevailed,
we wouldn't need lawyers.
All that lawyers do is
to win cases.
So you're not even going to try?
Where is your sense of justice?
Sense of justice?
You're still a child.
Too naive.
You don't know how cruel this world is.
People look out for themselves.
As soon as justice makes things difficult for someone,
they will abandon it
without even a second thought.
This is human nature.
Forget about all of those unrealistic dreams.
I don't need your naivety.
According to victim's son Jiang Xia,
the defendant intended to kill him
after the initial accident,
but was stopped by passers-by.
He is
guilty of homicide.
I caused his father's death.
I feel guilty.
I feel terrible...
I understand that he hates me.
But I never intended to kill him.
I swear to you! I swear to you!
As of right now,
beyond the testimony of the victim's son,
there's no other evidence that can point
to my client being guilty.
Plus, the victim's son is only 12,
and has been in a serious accident.
It's possible because of what he's been through,
his memory is not reliable.
The witness he asks for
has never showed up.
Therefore, I believe
the defendant be found not guilty of homicide.
Kid, you see this?
These idiots here all believe me.
They're not gonna believe you.
"These idiots here all believe me."
This is what the bad man is thinking.
I can hear what others are thinking.
There will be no talking out of turn here.
Little boy,
you just went through a very serious car accident.
It's possible the child
has suffered brain damage.
This should prove
his testimony is not credible.
I...
I can testify.
I witnessed everything that happened.
Your Honor,
I have evidence.
I can prove it.
He meant to kill him.
I'll kill you!
One day I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
I'll kill you with my own hands!
One day I will kill you!
I swear I'll kill you!
It's over, it's over.
What if he gets released?
What do I do?
= Thank you =
Don't thank me.
I regret coming here.
Don't worry.
I, I'll protect you.
So you can speak!
You're a little kid.

Can read people's thoughts?
It's really you.
Lin Xingran.
Gu Siyu.
The campus dispute case.
I'm the plaintiff's lawyer.
You're not that conceited, are you?
Haven't you seen the petition signature?
= Gu Siyu =
Who'd have thought
a person who chickened out before a trial
would end up as a lawyer?
And I never expected
a student expelled from school
could end up as a lawyer.
But it doesn't matter.
You're my first rival after coming back.
My luck.
Studying overseas has changed you.
Even your understanding of luck has changed.
This isn't luck.
It's a curse.
Lin Xingran,
you're the same as always.
You sure can talk.
Nothing's changed.
Same with you.
You're as annoying as always.
So, will your client be pleading not guilty?
You'll just have to wait and see.
Okay.
See you then.
Hey!
I'm going up too!
Hey, hey hey!
Hey!
What on earth have I done
to deserve such terrible luck?
What's with the firecracker?
How do you know about that?
Why does she think you're like Meibin?
What?
Was that what she was thinking?
Yeah.
Anything else?
She thinks when you were Mei Bin's age,
you were like her.
Everyone,
today,
on behalf of Siyu, thank you for coming,
to celebrate with her.
You need to keep working hard.
It's your first time coming in first.
Xingran's been first every other time.
What are you talking about?
How can a nanny's daughter compare to ours?
She lost more than once.
Enough, enough.
Come, come, eat...
Come eat something.
-Honey. -Yeah?
Go see if there's more in the kitchen, and bring it out.
-Okay. -And get drinks.
Come on.
Xingran,
stop cleaning up.
Come and join us.
What happened?
Are you okay?
Is she okay?
Who lit it?
Who? -Stop asking!
Let's get her to hospital!
Are you okay?
Let's go!
You three, tell me, who did it?
Even now you won't confess?
Speak!
Who did this?
It's...
I saw Xingran
point her firecracker at me.
I did not!
It's not true!
Xingran.
It was you?!
Look at Siyu.
How dare you lie?!
I didn't do it!
You!
Enough!
Stop this!
Xingran,
we'll give you a chance.
If you're willing to confess,
we'll forgive you.
I've done nothing wrong.
Who should I confess?
I'm giving you a chance
to admit your mistake.
But if you still refuse,
then I'm sorry.
I'm going to need you
to leave our home
and find another school.
I don't want to see you again.
She's the one lying.
Why should I change schools?
Shut up!
We'll move out this week.
Thank you very much for all that you've done.
Thank you.
Mom!
Let's go.
Mom.
Let's go.
I didn't think it'd be so serious.
Mom.
I didn't do anything.
I have to go back and explain.
What will you explain?
They'll just go at you more.
Mom.
You don't believe me either?
You'd rather believe what she says
over your own daughter?
It's true, I hate Gu Siyu.
But I'd never try to hurt her.
I know I have a temper,
but I'd never do anything to hurt her.
How is it you can't believe me?
Alright.
You look awful with tears and snot all over your face!
Let's go.
Do you believe me or not?
I'm your mother, how could I not?
So does that mean
you only believe me
because I'm your daughter?
Or do you genuinely believe me?
What kind of nonsense is this?
Of course because you're my daughter,
and I'm your mother.
Mom!
Ling Xingran.
I'm your mom.
I birthed you, raised you.
I know you better than anyone else.
If you hadn't been blamed unjustly back there,
you wouldn't be crying right now.
If I, Zhao Lanying,
didn't believe you,
I would've apologized to them,
and said it was our fault.
But think about it.
Did I actually apologize to them just now?
Even without the advantages they have,
or the wealth,
I won't let my daughter be blamed unjustly.
Mom.
I'll treat you well in the future,
and give you a good life.
Okay!
A good life?
I'll be happy if you just stay out of trouble.
Alright, now stop crying.
Why did you lie?
I don't know what you're talking about.
Don't know?
Maybe we need to ruin your other eye.
It's already been used.
Are you scared?
When faced with possible harm,
people will close their eyes instinctively.
Since your eyes were closed,
how did you know it was me?
I, I...
Explain it to everyone.
Tell them the truth.
I didn't do anything,
and you lied.
Why should I have to do that?
Even if it isn't true,
they still believe me over you.
Nobody cares about the truth.
Gu Siyu,
this isn't right!
You...
My clients
have suffered very much
from what happened to their daughter.
But as the defendant,
Zhao Meibin, is only a student,
they're willing to make a deal.
What we're asking for is simple:
a genuine apology
and money to cover medical fees and emotional suffering.
My clients expect the defendant to do the responsible thing.
Otherwise, the defendant's criminal actions
will be considered in civil court.
Defendant,
what do you think of this?
Let me think here.
Meibin really didn't push Li Jia'er?
Can I trust you?
My client
has never threatened your clients' daughter.
As to why she fell from the 2nd floor,
we have no insight into this.
It is not our obligation,
or responsibility
to compensate her clients.
So you're saying the defendant
refuses to reconcile?
Yes.
What kind of lawyer are you?
Children are ill-mannered,
but you're an adult.
Then there's nothing more to say.
Let's go.
Okay.
See you in court,
Ms. Lin.
She won't apologize for what she didn't do,
nor pay any compensation for it.
The police haven't conducted any investigation.
The procuratorate haven't filed charges.
The plaintiff accused my client.
Now the public is lashing out at my client.
She's suffering from great pressure.
This is reputation infringement.
According to Civil Law,
article 109, my client has right to
ask the plaintiff to stop,
and apologize.
Are you insane?
She pushed my daughter,
and wants us to apologize?
Your Honor,
we ask to show the evidence.
Please proceed.
I'll read remarks that the defendant
made about my client online.
Li Jia'er, you stupid cow!
Someday I'm going
to tear your face off!
The threatening tone is very clear.
All this indicates there was an argument.
There's no threat there.
Most people use excessive language
when they're very angry.
Different tones and different contexts
can cause others to misunderstand.
Therefore,
an emotional comment left online
cannot be used as evidence.
The defendant often threatened
my client in her daily life.
She clearly has violent tendencies.
Is this true?
If this can be counted as evidence,
what about the keyboard warriors?
They'll be getting sued every day.
Can I take this to mean that
the plaintiff's lawyer believes my client to be guilty?
What matters in law is the truth,
not speculation.
Your Honor,
a witness observed
the defendant and my client in a fight
before the accident happened.
I'd like to invite the witness to speak.
Please proceed.
Lead the witness in.
Tell me sir,
did you see the entire incident?
Yes.
Before the accident,
I heard Meibin and Jia'er arguing.
A little later, the noise died down.
And then, I heard a loud thud.
I saw Jia'er lying in the grass.
According to your testimony,
you first heard
a loud thud.
Then you saw the plaintiff on the ground.
Correct?
Yes.
So you mean that
you didn't see Zhao Meibin push Li Jia'er?
No, wait.
You said you heard the sound first.
I'll ask you again.
Witness,
did you or did you not
see Zhao Meibin push Li Jia'er?
I didn't.
The witness's testimony is speculative.
And
if the plaintiff had been pushed,
the wound should've been in her head.
But her wounds are exclusively in her legs.
It is our belief that
the victim fell because of her own negligence.
My client wasn't involved.
Therefore,
my client should not
bear any legal responsibility.
Your Honor,
we request a suspension of the trial
until the plaintiff is able to testify for herself.
Request for suspension granted.
We'll converge at a later date.
If Li Jia'er agrees to testify,
then everything will be made clear.
And I shall beat Gu Siyu.
Amazing!
Although I think you are
a bit of a weirdo,
still,
you're a useful weirdo.
Must you express your gratitude in such a mean way?
Not a weirdo.
No. No.
I, I, I...
You are...
...a koi.
You know, it symbolizes luck.
You can work for me.
With your ability,
I'll be unstoppable in the field of law!
I'm going to be rich!
Wow.
I don't work for free.
Come on!
You miser.
I've told you.
I'm broke.
What?
Here.
Knock it off!
Are young people nowadays this crazy?
Fine, fine.
You got it. You got it.
Happy now?
What are you doing?
Isn't that what you wanted?
I know.
A gal like me,
beautiful, intelligent
fashionable, and not to mention sexy.
I'm irresistible
to a young undergrad like yourself.
So naive and innocent.
But I'm warning you.
Don't get too attached.
It'll never happen.
I was trying to tell you
you've got dirt on your cheek.
Here.
Dirt on my cheek?
Impossible.
Don't lie to me.
Where are you going?
None of your business.
She's crazy.
So, you're getting out today.
It's been ten years.
Ten good years.
Buddy,
thank you,
for looking out for me in here.
Don't mention it.
Just don't forget about me out there.
Alright?
I won't forget you.
Man, you know what?
I really admire you.
You worked hard in the IT course,
and got named a model student.
You're motivated.
When I'm out there,
it'll help me find work.
Dong Lulu's lawsuit fails.
Lin Xingran attacked by her fans.
Who is she? A relative?
No.
She is...
just a friend.
Yeah.
I...
I owe her
a big favor.
Once I'm out,
I'm going to pay her back.
Hold on.
How could you possibly owe her?
Ten years ago,
she was a teenager.
Yes.
She was a teenager.
= 1st People's Court of Wan Jiang =
Both parties can ask questions.
Witness, your pledge.
I pledge to the court.
I'll testify honestly,
and wholly.
If I betray my pledge,
I'll accept the consequences.
Prosecution, defense.
You may begin questioning.
Witness,
did you fall out of the window
because someone pushed you?
Yes.
Is the one that pushed you in this courtroom now?
Yes.
Your Honor, please wait.
Can you point to that person?
Here.
I don't drink Coke. I drink coffee.
Why do I feel like
we're not the same?
Of course.
You change after you grow up.
Like a lot.
I don't mean that.
You see,
this used to be your favorite drink.
That's why I don't drink it.
Look at my teeth.
Look what's happened to them.
So should I drink it or not?
Go ahead. It's already done.
Then I'll drink it.
Yeah.
That's so good.
I envy you.
One sip of Coke can cheer you up.
That makes you jealous?
Being an adult seems boring.
No way.
I experienced something really
extraordinary today.
What is it?
I met someone today.
He can read others' minds.
Oh wow.
Amazing, right?
Totally!
So he could know whatever I'm thinking?
Yeah.
That means no secrets.
That makes a lot of sense.
I should keep my distance.
He seems
so familiar to me.
Like...
I've met him before.
I'll help you figure it out.
Smart.
