Chapter 358: You won't be soft-hearted this time, will you? (2nd Update)
"So Mike has a history of domestic violence before?"
After listening to the lawyer's report, Lin Zitan said a little calmly.
"Yes, it's just that his lawyer at the time, now Lawyer David, helped Mike fight for community service and a series of punishments at that time, so domestic violence was not recorded. The lawyer said cautiously.
David seems to be his mentor and his first law firm employer, and judging from this list of things, the relationship between them does not seem to be simple!
But in any case, my mother asked for a forced divorce, so no matter what method was used, I helped them divorce first, and I will find a way to do it next. Lin Zitan looked at each other and said undoubtedly.
"Okay, I'll do my best! By the way, now that Mike seems to have moved in with his ex-wife, I'm afraid they'll lie about their previous history of domestic violence. ”
Before leaving, the lawyer reminded Lin Zitan again.
"I remember this matter, thank you, hard work!"
Lin Zitan got up and nodded to the lawyer and asked someone to send him out.
After the lawyer left, Lin Zitan immediately made a phone call and went out.
"Hey, Frank, remember my old friend?"
Lin Zitan was full of fluent Italian and smiled and said.
"Yes, I'm looking for you to do business again, Mike's mentor, the lawyer named David, help me find out a little clearer, the old rules, you have the final say on the price, but, don't fool me, you also know that my intelligence system is not weak now.
I've checked everything I should have checked, and I need something that can kill me now! If something isn't what I want, we won't be as happy as we used to be. Lin Zi tugged at the corners of his mouth and said.
"Okay, I'll wait for your news, well, okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zitan hurriedly got up, and it was time for his children to eat and change diapers again.
Super dad is not just talking, although Lin Zitan has now found two Filipino maids to take care of the children day and night, most of the time he still does it himself.
And he's learned to manage his work and his children's schedule!
-------------------
Li Manrui's parents only learned that their daughter had been so wronged after the first trial of Mike's domestic violence case, and her grandmother hugged Li Manrui and cried bitterly, and loudly condemned this beast-faced guy.
Next, Li Manrui conducted a second lawsuit with the assistance of a lawyer, and asked for a forced divorce through legal procedures.
But since she is the injured party and the custody of the child is on her side, Li Manrui will naturally get more property.
However, the process of this lawsuit was also very long, and it took about half a year to finally conclude the case.
Mike was still sentenced to one year in prison, suspended for one year, and spent a year in drug rehabilitation and a series of home counseling sessions, two hours a week, at his own expense.
During this period, the lawyer helped Li Manrui apply for a conditional protection order for one year, and in this year Mike was required to move out of Li Manrui's house, and must keep a certain distance, and could not contact her in any way during this period.
The biggest victim of this series of events is, of course, their youngest daughter Li Annie, who couldn't imagine that her father would have such a dark side, even if she missed him very much, she still refused to forgive his behavior.
After the second trial, Li Manrui moved out of her and Mike's villa, and planned to sell it after completing the divorce procedures.
Lin Zitan took back the two-bedroom and one-bedroom upstairs in Flushing from the tenant, and asked Li Manrui to move in with her grandfather, and Li Annie's school was temporarily moved to Flushing.
Violence in the United States is not a trivial matter, if there is no money and no one, you can easily be sentenced to more than 5 years in prison, and bail and legal fees are also a lot of expenses.
Lin Zitan was very strange that Amanda was willing to stand up for Mike at this time, which made him a little incomprehensible, but no matter what, it was a good thing for him that Mike could get out of Li Manrui's world from now on.
At least he doesn't have to worry about Li Manrui when he deals with Mike again, and Lin Zitan has never let down his guard against Amanda, who is about to move.

"Have you figured it out, won't you relentless this time?"
Eric sat across from Lin Zitan, holding information about David's lawyer in his hand, and couldn't help but look up and ask.
"No way, I don't want my mom to live in fear all the time. The corners of Lin Zitan's mouth raised slightly.
The two of them are discussing how to deal a fatal blow to the Amanda family and completely destroy their family, including Mike.
David's lawyer has already obtained the information, he once helped George Sr. launder money, Mike has evidence that he helped launder money at that time, but he and David lawyer obviously not a simple teacher-student relationship,
Frank's men helped them pick it up, and found out that this David lawyer turned out to be Mike's mother's first love, if nothing else, this old man was probably Mike's biological father.
This is also the reason why Mike was able to get out of the old George family after the domestic violence Amanda, and David lawyer can be said to have done everything in his power to threaten the old George family with some illegal deeds done in the early days.
"I really didn't expect them to have such a relationship!" Lin Zi shook his head, unbelievable.
"So Mike has been so smooth sailing for so many years, not only does the Amanda family escort him, but also Lawyer David helps him block all criminal cases, and on the surface, Lawyer David has withdrawn from the old George's legal advisory group.
But he never stopped serving this family, and David handled the case of William's previous alcoholism and sexual abuse that almost killed people, you see how well he did it!"
Eric smiled sarcastically, pointing to a passage in the profile.
"I've already found someone to check Mike's study and found some evidence, but unfortunately it's not comprehensive, so it doesn't seem so easy to sue David, so I can only start with soft persimmons. Lin Zitan shrugged his shoulders and said.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and the rest of the words were all in plain sight, and a series of cooperation between the two people would probably be closer from this time onwards!

After Emma took over the 50 boutiques that Lin Zitan handed over to her, she and Ivani rolled up their sleeves and did a big job.
Ivany, who has always had a keen eye for fashion, gathered the managers of 20 of the profitable boutiques together for a meeting and asked them to compete with each other, and the last store manager would be eliminated.
Among them, 10 boutiques, Emma, have put on the shelves products of themselves and some of the better designers of the same period, focusing on light luxury and young fashion brands, making them more special buyers.
The remaining 20 boutiques were transformed into trendy stores such as shoe stores, clothing stores, florists, and cafes in turn, and the points earned at these stores can be spent at any number of boutiques in other chains.
Just when Li Manrui's divorce procedures had just been completed and everything was slowly getting on the right track, the news suddenly came that Mike was arrested again for domestic violence against his ex-wife, and this time even Amanda herself couldn't exonerate Mike.
And lawyer David, who has been defending Mike, was also almost killed in a car accident, and his brain was damaged and almost became a vegetative state, and he has never been able to stand in court to defend people again!
As for Leo, a second ancestor who can't run a business in the first place, has little experience and patience in the winery business, because there are more and more Chinese owners who have changed careers from restaurants around him to run wineries, and their business is flexible and the price is fair.
Slowly, the winery that he hired others to run was crushed, and the business plummeted all of a sudden, and some of them even had insufficient rent and labor, so they could only go out of business or resell.
