Hearing this, Wu Zhenglin and Lin Zhen exchanged a glance, seemingly seeing a glimmer of hope. But the very next second, Lawyer Qi took out his cellphone. He seemed to log into an app and quickly tapped away.
「A few minutes later.」
He looked up at Wu Zhenglin again and said seriously, "Mr. Wu, I cannot take this case. I have already returned the full attorney's fees you paid earlier. Goodbye." With that, he didn't even look back as he prepared to turn around and leave. His actions were fluid and decisively swift, without the slightest hesitation, leaving Wu Zhenglin and Lin Zhen utterly stupefied.
Seeing that the hard-to-get Lawyer Qi had almost reached the door, Wu Zhenglin hurriedly stopped him. "No, no... Lawyer Qi, is it that the money isn't enough? We can still discuss the price."
