Lawyer Wang closed the case file and let out a long sigh, a look of relief spreading across his face. "Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent," he said earnestly as he looked at Lu Father and Mother Lu. "The law will protect every good person."
Lu Father grasped Lawyer Wang's hand, too emotional to speak, tears glistening in his cloudy eyes. Mother Lu was even more distraught, holding tightly onto her daughter's photo as if Lu Jiajia had never left.
"Thank you... thank you, Lawyer Wang..." Lu Father choked out. "If it weren't for you, we really wouldn't know what to do..."
Lawyer Wang patted Lu Father's hand reassuringly. "This is what I should do. It's not easy for you either; just focus on living well from now on."
However, fate seemed to enjoy playing tricks on them. A few days later, when Lu Father and Mother Lu went to handle the property transfer with the court's judgment in hand, they were informed that the property had already been mortgaged to the bank by Zhang Chen in exchange for a large loan.
"What?!" Lu Father stared wide-eyed in disbelief as the judgment slipped helplessly from his hands and fell to the ground. "How... how could this happen..."
Mother Lu felt darkness closing in and nearly fainted, but was caught just in time by Lu Father beside her. "How could this be... how could this be..." she murmured, as if she had become a soulless puppet.
Despair wrapped around Lu Father and Mother Lu like an invisible net. They never imagined that the property their daughter had sacrificed her life for would ultimately slip away from them.
At that moment, Lawyer Wang's phone rang. "Mr. Lu, I've seen the judgment result; congratulations!" Lawyer Wang's voice was filled with joy, clearly unaware of the property's mortgage situation.
Lu Father suppressed his grief and hoarsely asked, "Lawyer Wang... we... we have encountered a bit of trouble..."
He explained the situation about the mortgage to Lawyer Wang. There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Lawyer Wang's determined voice came through: "Mr. Lu, don't worry; I will do everything I can to help you fight for this!"
After hanging up, Lawyer Wang furrowed his brow, lost in thought. Zhang Chen's despicable actions had once again shocked him. But he did not give up; as a lawyer, he had both the responsibility and obligation to fight for the final justice for Lu Jiajia!
He picked up the legal books on the table and began to study the relevant cases carefully. Time passed second by second, and outside the window, the sky gradually darkened, but Lawyer Wang's office remained brightly lit.
He sifted through a large amount of information and finally found a similar case. In this case, the victim also fell into trouble due to their property being mortgaged, but in the end, the lawyer successfully helped the victim seek justice through legal means.
"This is it!" A glimmer of light flashed in Lawyer Wang's eyes as he seemed to see the dawn of hope.
He quickly organized his thoughts and dialed Lu Father's phone number. "Mr. Lu, I've found a solution. We can..." Lawyer Wang detailed his plan to Lu Father.
On the other end of the line, Lu Father held his phone with a trembling hand, a flicker of hope igniting in his eyes. "Lawyer Wang... do you really have confidence?"
"I can't guarantee a hundred percent success, but I will do everything I can!" Lawyer Wang said firmly, "Please believe in me!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Father looked out the window at the pitch-black night sky dotted with stars, as if they were cheering them on. He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a glow of hope.
"Jiajia, do you see this? We will definitely seek justice for you!" Lu Father silently vowed in his heart.
