Li Na's mind was currently offline, her eyes appearing somewhat hollow.

Zou Yu pondered for a moment. "The soft approach would cause too much damage to Li Na's reputation. Right now, everyone is pointing fingers at her."

"If public opinion continues to ferment, Li Na will be labeled as 'vain and abandoning her own father.' In the future, people might point and stare wherever she goes, making it impossible for her to live a normal life."

"Hmm..." Zou Yu thought for a bit longer. "A combination of soft and hard tactics would be better."

"For the hard tactic, use a third party to speak out and restore the truth of the facts to put pressure on the old man."

"This can also dilute the pressure of public opinion on Sister Na."

"On the other side, go to the hospital to talk to the old man."

"The legal obligation of support definitely can't be avoided," Zou Yu said, thinking it over before looking at Li Na. "Let's set a principle: the best-case scenario is to have him return to his hometown while you pay monthly support fees."

"And the bottom line?"

"Find a nursing home for him locally."

"Of course, the cost will be higher."

"Sister Na, what do you think?"

Listening to her analysis, Chen Cheng's lips curled into a smile as he teased, "Oh, is Lawyer Zou back online?"

Zou Yu tilted her head up proudly. "I am a professional lawyer, okay?"

Looking at her proud expression, Chen Cheng smiled dotingly.

He turned to look at the distracted Li Na. "Should we do as Zou Yu suggested?"

"This method is the optimal solution for now."

Li Na pursed her lips and nodded in agreement. "Okay~"

With a slight smile, Chen Cheng clapped his hands and made arrangements. "For the hard tactic, I'll arrange for someone to handle it."

"As for the soft one," Chen Cheng looked at Zou Yu, "will you go?"

Zou Yu immediately agreed, nodding, then asked Li Na, "Is that okay with you?"

Li Na considered it; having Zou Yu negotiate as her proxy lawyer was indeed appropriate.

She nodded, indicating her consent.

Chen Cheng broke into a smile and called out, "Alright, let's eat first."

"I haven't even had breakfast yet, I'm starving."

Several of them got up and sat at the table.

While eating, Chen Cheng had Karen arrange for people to go to Li Na's hometown to find 'witnesses' who knew the truth to come forward.

This matter was quite easy.

The traffic generated by Li Weizheng's side was almost exhausted.

If there was a plot twist, this matter could be hyped up for a few more days.

Whether it was the media or marketing accounts, it wouldn't cost much; with a little guidance, they would follow the scent.

After finishing the meal, Chen Cheng drove Zou Yu to the hospital where Li Weizheng was staying.

The car stopped on the roadside near the hospital's inpatient department. Chen Cheng glanced at Zou Yu.

"Put on some sunglasses; it'll create a bit of distance."

Zou Yu raised an eyebrow, took a pair of sunglasses from her bag, and put them on.

Chen Cheng's lips curved slightly. "My girlfriend is truly beautiful."

The corners of Zou Yu's mouth couldn't help but rise. "Stop being so cheeky~" She patted Li Na, who was sitting opposite her. "I'm going now, don't worry."

Li Na nodded. "Thank you~"

Zou Yu smiled and pushed the door open to get out of the car.

Chen Cheng watched Zou Yu's departing figure and thought for a moment before speaking to Eleven in the driver's seat. "Eleven, stay in the car and keep Li Na company. I'm going to take a look."

After saying that, he spoke to Li Na. "I'll go with Zou Yu. I'm not sure if the reporters are still there, and I'm worried she might not be able to handle it alone."

"Stay here in the car and wait for us to come back."

Li Na nodded quickly. "Okay."

Chen Cheng thought for a moment. "Actually, don't just sit idle. Let Eleven take you to look at some nursing homes."

If he left her idle right at the hospital entrance, she would definitely start overthinking. It was better to let her go do the work she needed to do.

Without waiting for her consent, Chen Cheng turned and said to Eleven, "Company Name has investments in the elderly care industry, so there are many contact details for nursing homes. You can get in touch with General Manager Gao."

"The two of you coordinate on this."

Eleven thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay."

"Drive the car away; no need to come back for me. I can take the car behind us when I go back."

After finishing his instructions, Chen Cheng took a pair of sunglasses and got out of the car.

He waved toward the Bodyguards' car behind him, and soon a black GMC Yukon stopped in front of him.

Chen Cheng gave a few instructions to Chen Guosheng in the passenger seat.

The other man quickly got out and ran toward Zou Yu, who was about to disappear from sight.

Chen Cheng put on his sunglasses and followed at a leisurely pace.

In the back seat of the maybach pullman, Li Na looked solemn. Seeing the caller ID on her phone, she blinked and hung up the call.

Zou Yu asked around and finally found Li Weizheng on a bench on the hospital lawn.

Sitting next to him was a legal aid lawyer who had followed the scent.

Zou Yu glanced at the middle-aged man next to Li Weizheng, her gaze full of disdain.

She knew this person. His name was Liu Yingmei, a shyster who liked to instigate litigation. His reputation was truly terrible.

She turned back and spoke to Li Weizheng.

"Mr. Li, hello. I am Miss Li Na's proxy lawyer, Zou Yu."

"Can I have a few words with you alone?"

The middle-aged man immediately interrupted. "Lawyer Zou, I am currently providing legal aid to Mr. Li. If you want to talk to my client, it must be done in my presence."

Zou Yu took a breath. "Mr. Li, what exactly do you want by doing this?"

"..."

Chen Cheng sat on a distant bench, watching the three of them from afar.

Chen Guosheng stood within thirty paces of them, "making a phone call."

A man in a suit walked past Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng's eyes narrowed as he called out:

"Lawyer Luo."

Robin turned toward the sound, squinting for a moment before recognizing Chen Cheng. "Mr. Chen?"

Chen Cheng's lips curved slightly as he waved him over. "Come, sit down."

Robin frowned, looked toward Li Weizheng, then back at Chen Cheng, understanding immediately.

He stepped over to the bench and sat down beside Chen Cheng.

"Mr. Chen, did you send a lawyer to talk to Li Weizheng?"

Chen Cheng smiled slightly and didn't answer his question, instead asking, "Is Lawyer Luo here to see Li Weizheng?"

Robin nodded gently. "I suppose so."

Chen Cheng laughed. "From what standpoint? This matter doesn't seem to have anything to do with you."

"I..." Robin was momentarily choked up. He pondered for two seconds. "Even if we aren't superior and subordinate anymore, we've worked together for so many years. Naturally, we are also very good friends."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow and let out a light chuckle. Why tease if you're not going to take her?

Either be a complete scumbag and just sleep with Li Na.

At least then you could comfort each other's physical needs.

To only provoke someone's emotions without providing peace—killing without burying, what's that about?

"Lawyer Luo, just sit back and relax. There should be a result soon."

Robin didn't relax at all, occasionally looking toward Li Weizheng. "Mr. Chen might not know, but Li Weizheng's lawyer is named Liu Yingmei. This man is a shyster and very difficult to deal with."

This was a lack of confidence in Zou Yu's ability, but Chen Cheng didn't care.

As long as he didn't change his attitude, no matter how this matter developed, it wouldn't affect Li Na's interests.

On the contrary, if things blew up, Li Weizheng wouldn't even have to mention his demand for support; even the alimony would depend on Li Na's whims.

"It doesn't matter. If Li Weizheng really wants a lawsuit, as long as Li Na is willing, I will support her unconditionally."

Robin shook his head. "Mr. Chen, between family members, a lawsuit is not the best way to resolve a dispute."
