Fang Qing is tasked with handling a sensitive legal case concerning a child's autopsy, a case that might be connected to a powerful figure's family. She strategizes with Tong Dan about navigating the potential workplace politics and the complexities of the legal system, using allegories to explain the true nature of laws and power.

Who says that only children like to listen to stories.

"You haven’t even finished your story, why pay?"

Tong Dan thoughtfully placed the serving of liangban zhe’ergen in front of her best friend, "After hearing the story, did the rabbit’s legs go weak? All its possessions combined aren’t enough to hire a monkey to write for half a day. With civilization came, the forest had its own forest code, nominally open to all animals, but the threshold is built from carrots."

Fang Qing sat quietly, beautiful as a flower.

To be honest.

Not only did she gain weight.

Her skin seems better too.

Tong Dan continued to muse, "Poor rabbits thought their future was bright, but ended up standing at the high threshold of the forest code, stunned like a wooden chicken. Meanwhile, strong animals like the lions have VIP lounges inside and can even walk backstage to chat and drink tea with the Elephant Judge.

Lions legally turned all production resources that rabbits rely on for survival into their private property, and from then on, rabbits must work for lions if they want carrots. From dawn to dusk every day, they work tirelessly, only barely enough to survive on a few carrots, while lions do nothing, lying at home, with carrots from the entire manor delivered continuously into its cave.

The rabbits weren’t eaten, but transformed from free rabbits into enslaved rabbits."

Getting into the best Sha City High School proves that Tong Dan is smart with no mental flaws, and as for later choosing to attend an aviation school–not everyone can endure the hardship of studying.

Fang Qing didn’t even need to continue the narration, as she could extend the story’s trajectory herself.

"Thus, in reality, the law does not protect the weak; it only protects those ’with property rights’."

Tong Dan exhaled in enjoyment, as the beer accompanied by fatty intestines vaporized in the temperature contrast, becoming a part of the city’s bustle.

"And the lion? Wouldn’t it give up easily?"

"If you want to hear more, it’ll cost extra."

"What? You charge in tiers too?"

Tong Dan laughed and cursed, then patted the pocket of her cashmere coat, "Money’s not an issue."

Seeing this, a verbal agreement was reached, and Fang Qing proceeded slowly and leisurely with the story of the forest.

"Out of desperation, in order to survive, the rabbits had no choice but to work in the Lion Manor, living a bitter life. Among them was a relatively smart rabbit named Rabbit A.

Rabbit A discovered that according to the forest labor law, it should work no more than 8 hours a day, and for a day’s work, the lion must pay 5 carrots. But in reality, the lion made them work 12 hours a day and paid only 3 carrots.

Rabbit A thought this time the evidence was solid. Written in black and white, the lion can’t deny it, right?

So it secretly united with several rabbits and decided to sue the lion at the Forest Court.

They pooled money for a long time and finally raised enough to hire the monkey to write.

On the trial day, a whole team of fox lawyers came representing the lion."

Tong Dan paused her drinking, becoming fully attentive again.

"The Elephant Judge took the seat and solemnly announced: The trial now begins."

Fang Qing’s expression was calm yet carefree, her tone vivid and humorous, captivating, showcasing her fundamental skills.

"The lion’s fox lawyer team quickly produced a contract, with paw prints from Rabbit A and all the rabbits.

The contract read:

I, XXX rabbit, voluntarily join the ’Lion Manor Striver Plan.’ I deeply understand that the prosperity of the manor is my personal prosperity. To realize ’rabbit life’s value,’ I voluntarily give up rest time and accept the ’carrot performance’ system (i.e., 3 base carrots + 2 variable carrots).

Rabbit A was stunned on the spot.

It remembered; when it first entered the manor, the lion’s steward—a wolf—did make them press their paw prints on a leaf. At the time, the wolf said it was just ’employment registration,’ and whoever didn’t press would leave the rabbit queue.

At the time, hundreds of rabbits lined up; who dared not press? And who would meticulously read those densely packed words?

The fox lawyer spoke eloquently to the Elephant Judge: Honorary Judge, see, this is a ’voluntary’ signed agreement. ’Striving’ is these rabbits’ noble pursuit. Our manor merely provides a platform for their pursuit. This fully complies with the principle of ’contract freedom.’ It is protected by the ’forest contract law.’

The Elephant Judge nodded along and finally struck the gavel: The actions of Lion Manor comply with the law. The rabbits’ claims are overruled.

Rabbit A and its partners lost completely.

They didn’t recover their carrots and were fired by the lion for false accusations.

From then on, no rabbit dared resist anymore."

Tong Dan silently smacked her lips.

See.

Are facts and evidence the same thing?

No.

Entirely two different things.

They may even oppose each other, completely contrary.

"...Therefore, relying solely on the force of Licheng’s family, it’s impossible to achieve justice, because they, like the rabbits, only have facts, while the lion has the means to create favorable ’evidence’ for itself."

Tong Dan responded.

Qing Gege seemingly said nothing in reply, yet actually answered everything.

Facts are meaningless; the sweat on the rabbit’s head, tears in its eyes, pain in its body, and blood flowing from its heart, in Forest Court, are worthless.

In terms of weight, they don’t compare to a leaf with a signature.

The lion can easily and legally legitimize all the rabbit’s blood and tears with a meticulously crafted contract.

It can interpret the rabbit’s forced helplessness as voluntary choice.

It can explain the rabbit’s exploitation as a spirit of striving.
