The legal procedures in this show are fictional.

Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental.

If we could use

what you've just told me as testimony,

it would really help this case.

-But there's no way you'll win. -How do you know?

I just know.

People have sued before, but there was never enough evidence.

You are my evidence.

Even if I testify, I'd be targeted and attacked.

You decide if you want to step forward.

You're too lenient!

That's why so many kids have suffered!

Let me tell you.

Even if I have to lose everything,

I'll still sue the pants off them!

We do our best to secure your rights

Lawyers Chen Hui-yun, Lin Xiao-yan, Jian Jin-feng

Liu Lang

Are you sure you've checked all the papers?

I've done some intensive research

and also cross-referenced the data.

We're definitely good.

Have a look and see what you think.

What's up?

Here you are.

Why don't you take a look too? And see if you'd like to suggest anything.

My beloved colleagues.

Is it really so hard to buy face wash?

-I want to get one that exfoliates. -What face wash?

Open. Open it!

I want to look. Come on.

"Cleansing clay, moisturizing,

with face-lift"?

"Goodbye cosmetic surgery, effective results in seven days"?

Free shipping for the purchase of three.

Does it do discounts on the hour?

-Yes. -I have coupons.

Don't place the order yet.

Let me find my coupons.

I think 50 dollars...

You called me to come in early

and said there's something urgent.

Now you're buying freaking clay. Do you want your face washed?

-You don't understand. -You don't understand.

My face does need washing.

Let me get the coupons.

-Okay. -You each get one.

So we get free shipping.

Perfect.

Alright.

Today, I would like to discuss with you all

our strategies moving forward.

From a realistic point of consideration,

we have to lessen our pro bono cases...

Great!

And work on cases with better profit.

You are right. Hui-yun is right.

But Hui-yun,

our firm was established

to work on pro bono cases, wasn't it?

I know. Don't worry.

-I'm not saying straight away... -Great!

That's not great.

Anyway...

I have a friend who runs an NPO.

They're applying for a subsidy

and I would like to work with a law firm.

I want that subsidy.

It will pay our rent.

Great!

It's finally my turn.

That sounds good.

We can take on more pro bono cases

with the subsidy in hand.

Wait.

You can't just take pro bono cases if you want to profit.

Quite frankly,

applying for a subsidy is basically begging.

Chu Hsing is practically non-for-profit.

If you want to profit, you can go somewhere else.

I almost forgot.

No other firm wants you.

Great!

Anyway,

they're coming over today for the assessment.

I'd like you to prepare well.

Great!

I'm going to take a dump. You go ahead with the preparation.

Okay.

Yes.

Are you suing someone?

Are you looking for a lawyer?

Just wait a little longer. I know it's hot.

Excuse me.

I'll be with you right away.

I didn't expect the crowd.

It seems like people now know I work here.

I can't even stay low.

I bought my grandson an invisible-man toy

and I got an empty box!

It said “Invisible”! What did you expect?

Come back when you can see the toy.

I bought this dress online.

And look.

This is what it looks like.

I want to sue them for bad tailoring.

It's just

an insult to my beauty.

Miss.

I suggest that you bring the photos next time.

You don't have to wear it to show me.

And I consider this indecent exposure.

Turn yourself in to reduce sentences.

I bought a bird's nest, but there's no nest.

It's only sugary water.

Please sue them.

I have to go and pick up my grandson later.

Let me ask you.

Are thousand-year eggs actually 1,000 years old?

And you don't dump dumplings.

Of course there's no nest in a bird's nest!

I'm a lawyer, not an ATM.

Do you think I could just get your money back?

Sir, this is a typical scam.

As long as you have the evidence, we can sue.

We'll go to court two to three times.

We should be able to wrap it up in three months.

But if they appeal,

it will probably last about a year...

Sir?

Sir?

From what I can see here,

I don't think there will be any problems.

But I heard that the new lawyer

has a bad reputation.

Are you referring to...

Mr. Liu?

Yes.

Not at all. I interviewed him personally.

He's actually very nice.

It's nothing like what you've heard.

He was wrongly accused.

Is that so?

Yes.

You know,

we've been putting our focus

on helping the underprivileged all these years.

So if you could consider us,

that would be most appreciated.

No worries.

Thank you.

Today happens to be our weekly

free consultation day.

Would you like to take a look?

-Sure. -Okay. Come with me.

Our lawyers are patient and friendly.

All these questions are nonsense!

You're all taking me for granted!

Get out!

Hey, intern. Be nice!

I'm sorry about that.

This intern is a little older. He's a bit too proud.

We're providing him with opportunities to polish his skills

so he might become a great lawyer.

Watch this.

This is another typical scam.

We cannot tolerate this.

We have to sue them.

Actually, this doesn't look so bad.

The one I got makes me look like a tripod.

Are you sure it isn't too small?

-It's none of your business. -It's none of your business.

I think we can only suck it up.

Cheap price, cheap quality.

Hui-yun just said it this morning.

For the sake of the firm,

we have to be selective of our cases.

But I think we have to sue no matter what.

The people that came today were mostly scammed.

The scammers know that it takes a lot of work to go to trial.

That's why they keep doing it.

Let me ask you.

Let's say you were scammed a few hundred dollars.

Taking it to court would cost millions.

Which would you choose?

Seriously, about that.

You just need to sew it.

You can still wear it.

Nicole.

Your tripod pants.

Bring it over tomorrow for me to take a look.

You have three legs. Have a banana.

Let me handle it.

This?

Absolutely not.

I think it's fine.

Look at the teachers here.

I bet they've all had over 70 years of experience.

They are all so qualified.

You can't find a better place than this.

This looks more like a nursing home to me.

Which of you is Liu Liang-liang's parent?

That would be me.

Hello.

Have you got his household certificate, health handbook,

and vaccination records?

Headmaster, can we enroll now? I'll submit the paperwork later.

I'm afraid we can't do that.

Headmaster, a teacher passed out.

Not again.

I wonder how that teacher is doing.

Do you reckon Jhong Le screwed you over?

I suspect it's them. That's all.

What company would spend that much money just to screw a lawyer?

They have too much free time.

And I strongly suspect

that he

might be their pawn.

How is that possible?

If that's the case,

this is illegal child labor.

You can sue the crap out of them.

But he came along

right when I was on the case.

He interferes with my life

and clouds my judgment.

And the reason why I messed up the Jhong Le case

was that he handed the evidence to Lin Xiao-yan.

So I think

maybe someone used me to screw Jhong Le up

and have them screw me back.

This is all too complicated for my little brain.

I don't get it.

The point now is

that we have to look after him

so we can find out who's behind all this.

I have a brain freeze.

Who'd like to share their experience of being scammed?

You can go first.

I don't usually shop online.

But that website looked really nice and the quality was good too.

I just had to place an order.

Looks like Liang-liang is interested in karate.

Actually, this is our after-school class.

Nowadays, many parents are busy

and can't pick up the kids until after six.

So we designed this program to accommodate their needs.

We hire professional coaches and athletic trainers.

You won't have to worry about his safety.

By the way,

didn't the mother come with you today?

I'm the one who looks after him usually.

You're a single dad.

It must be hard.

Right.

So our school

offers many classes that would be suitable for Liang-liang.

These classes are specifically designed

for the physical training of young children.

I'm sure you must understand

how important it is

to burn off the kids' energy during the day

so you can have your private time in the evenings.

They overly advertised their products,

saying that you could lose weight wearing this to bed.

All women want to lose weight.

You want to lose weight, right?

Here is the thing.

I've been to other kindergartens too.

But the tuition fee here is a bit...

high.

Is that so?

The price here has not been updated.

We have a special offer right now.

Enroll before Friday and it's 40% off.

Did you say 40% off?

Yes, 40% off.

-Before Friday? -Friday.

And it's a limited-time offer!

If you don't place your order right away, it's like you wouldn't get it!

And surely,

you would just go for it!

I saw that there was only one day left.

I told my friends to place the order straight away.

But when I received the products,

they were completely different from the website.

Liang, how is 40% off?

I think 40% off is great.

Is it?

Liang-liang is joining halfway into the semester.

But don't you worry.

The teachers will make adjustments based on his needs

so he can fit in as soon as possible.

I'll leave it to you.

Okay. Mr. Liu, please take a look at the contact.

Excuse me.

I've been wanting to ask.

Are you, by any chance,

Liu Lang, the lawyer?

I am.

It really is you.

You're more handsome in person.

I used to watch you on TV a lot.

But recently,

I haven't seen you much.

And there are some weird rumors about you

all over the Internet.

None of that is true.

It really bothers me.

Yes.

I thought so too.

People spit lies online these days.

You've always been really genuine.

It's a shame that nowadays,

people don't like to hear the truth.

Just sign here.

Okay.

By the way.

Headmaster, actually, I'm not Liang-liang's dad.

Both of his parents live down the South.

I'm his uncle.

So about his household certificate and all that,

can I submit those a bit later?

Is that so?

Then...

Do his parents know

that you're enrolling him on kindergarten?

Absolutely, no need to worry about that.

Okay, just make sure you have those as soon as possible.

Of course.

Sunshine Kindergarten. Contract Agreement.

Where are you going?

Come back here!

Stop!

Stop running!

What are you doing?

Wait.

Jia.

It's me.

What's all this?

I'm trying to take him to school, but he won't go.

-I'll do it. -What?

Liang-liang!

Liang-liang.

Why don't you want to go to school?

Why not?

Because you don't want to leave Daddy?

How long have you been divorced?

It's okay.

I understand.

Liang-liang is experiencing separation anxiety.

Let me tell you.

You have to make him feel secure.

How?

Come on.

Give me your keys.

Liang-liang.

Come here.

Come. Here is the thing.

Could you please

look after the keys?

If Daddy doesn't pick you up,

he won't be able to go home either.

Do you think you could go to kindergarten now?

Okay.

Atta boy, there we go.

I summed up a few points after a few sleepless nights.

Everyone, take a look.

I've collected other information too.

I believe we just have to be persistent.

That way, we could...

Check it out.

What's with all these people?

Are you interested?

Try me.

Hey!

Nicole, Xiao-yan,

and what's his name...

Come in.

I'm Liu Lang.

Nicole has just taken on a case

about this rich kid getting scammed by his sugar baby.

Xiao-yan, you go and help her.

Wait a minute.

She has got a lot of clients waiting already.

I think I should help.

I can do both.

Are you sure?

Don't forget there's the free consulting session.

I can work on the scam case after work.

It won't interfere with the session.

No, the scam case is too complicated.

Doing it after hours won't be enough.

You should just focus on that case.

-Okay. -Nicole can deal with the sugar baby case.

And what's his name...

Liu Lang.

Okay, I'll get to it.

Go...

Hui-yun.

Why did you still allow Xiao-yan

to work on that non-profitable case?

You can't change her mind.

We might as well just let her do what she wants.

If she fails, she will learn her lesson.

But if she wins,

then we'll have a real case study

to show the people that come for consultations.

It's a win-win situation.

I guess you're right.

But what if she somehow messes it up?

Then I'll have to testify in court...

These trousers claimed

you could lose 2 kg in a month by wearing them to bed.

You get Apollo's belt lying down.

You get abs from just breathing.

Eat and drink whatever you want. No exercise is needed.

Plus, your breasts

will grow two cup sizes.

That's what was advertised online.

Online...

You're a lawyer and you fell for that?

Apparently, you gathered all victims

and expanded it to a class-action suit?

Do you think you'd win?

Police have cracked an online retailer scam.

Victims have recently gathered

to start a class-action suit.

According to our sources,

the scammer played their cards well.

There are even female lawyers among the victims.

In my opinion,

her scammer case should be handed over

to someone more experienced...

I'm too busy.

I'm not done yet.

I need some real cases...

Where's the money?

Idiots.

Jhong Le Group...

Angela?

I'm sorry, that's mine.

Thank you.

Are you one of the victims?

Yes.

These people are ruthless!

They didn't just scam your money,

but also your trust, the essential in interpersonal relationships.

Hello, I'm the lawyer, Liu Lang.

Hello, Mr. Liu.

Hello.

So what are you going to do now?

Miss Lin is handling it for us.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, excuse me.

I just feel like...

I'm not saying my colleagues aren't good enough.

But I believe that you need someone

who's more experienced to help you.

-Are you free tonight? -What?

I can give you a free consultation.

It's really free.

Sir, that was the end of the bottle.

Would you like to open another one?

One more, please.

We've already had three bottles.

Only three bottles?

Have you got work later?

Later...

Justice Warrior Noodle Head

Someone has been calling you.

Aren't you going to get it?

Or is it...

Your girlfriend?

You know,

there have been many scam calls lately.

Don't pick them up.

Besides,

I'm single.

Really? Me too.

Go away.

By the way,

I saw your work ID.

Do you work for Jhong Le?

Yes, I'm just an entry-level secretary.

You're doing great. It's a big company.

Not at all.

I mostly do scheduling and research.

So...

Does Jhong Le have their own cyber warriors?

Cyber warriors?

They are hired to write views and stuff

when a company launches new products.

Why are you more interested in my company

than in me?

That's nonsense.

It's just that a friend is starting a company

and he needs a team like that.

Can you possibly find out for me?

Of course I can.

You've helped me so much.

I should be repaying you.

I'm just not sure if I'll remember it

when I wake up tomorrow.

I'll be sure to remind you.

Okay.

It keeps vibrating.

Who is it?

Let me handle it.

Good.

What do you want?

Miss Lin, it's my after hours.

Where is he?

What did you do?

You let him learn karate

and he got beaten up.

Thankfully Liang-liang knows my number.

What did they teach you?

Liang-liang.

Tell him what you just told me.

Don't be afraid.

Tell me.

The instructors told us to fight each other.

Isn't it normal? For karate?

They said we can't cry even if it hurts.

Why not?

They'll throw us away if we cry

so Daddy and Mommy can't find us.

The teachers threatened them not to tell their parents.

Liang-liang told me because I'm not his parent.

What kind of teachers would threaten and beat kids up?

It hurts, doesn't it?

Were any coaches or athletic trainers present?

How dare Headmaster Su lie to me?

Did you not read the contract properly?

You got scammed.

There are no coaches,

no athletic trainers,

and no nutritionists.

Headmaster Su, care to explain?

Or I'll see you in court.

Liang-liang. Go back to the classroom, okay?

Why?

There are certain things that I shouldn't say in front of him.

Liang-liang, it's all good.

I'm here. Just go with the teacher.

Mr. Liu.

You know, every kid is different.

Liang-liang is very passionate.

But with karate,

he doesn't have the talent for it.

Every kid has different needs.

Of course they have different experiences in class.

What does that even mean?

I paid the same amount as the others.

So why is he being treated differently?

It's stated in the contract.

If the teaching quality is compromised,

I can receive a full refund.

Give me a refund or I'll see you in court.

Compromised?

Nothing was compromised.

It's stated clearly in the contract.

Coaches, athletic trainers, and nutritionists

are all hired by us

and by us only.

All teachers simply follow the contract.

The curriculum would be adjusted

based on the children's performance.

It is apparent

that Liang-liang has difficulties fitting in.

Mr. Liu.

If you want to terminate the class,

that's completely fine.

However,

you'd have to pay for the liquidated damage.

Liquidated damage?

Yes, liquidated damage.

Liquidated damage?

Yes, liquidated damage.

Mr. Liu.

I remember that you often told us

to look at contracts carefully.

Did you not read the contract properly?

Are you, by any chance,

Liu Lang, the lawyer?

I am.

You're more handsome in person.

I used to watch you on TV a lot.

-Did you see it? -I saw it.

Kindergarten has really broken you.

Has anything strange happened lately?

Did the teachers remember to give you snacks?

Wait. Let me put the recorder on.

Here.

Have you seen anything red like this around?

-This is Mr. Cupman. -Talk about that later.

Have you seen it?

Teachers said they'll eat us.

That's intimidation.

Why did the teachers threaten you?

They are tigers and we're rabbits.

Please answer properly!

Stop saying all this nonsense.

Why are you so mean?

Liang-liang is the victim.

Liang-liang.

Did you make Mr. Cupman?

Did you go anywhere for adventures?

We went to fight the dark monster.

Dark monster?

Stop talking and eat your lunch.

You're making so much noise.

Liang-liang.

Stop staring at the bowl and eat.

You're all so slow.

There will be no snacks in the afternoon then.

Xiao-yu.

-They're here. -What?

Okay.

Put down what is in your hands.

Rabbit table, stand up with me.

Let's play hide and seek.

Get up.

Come with me.

Not you. Sit down.

Follow me.

Hurry.

Keep walking.

Did you play hide and seek in the dark?

They must have overenrolled.

They hide the kids during inspections.

Overenrolled?

This is no place for Liang-liang.

You need to transfer him now.

No rush.

I've got the goods on them now.

They're so screwed!

Liang-liang, did you eat anything today?

Do you want me to cook something yummy?

Over-enrollment...

Find me cases on kindergartens. The more, the better.

I'm going to sue Sunshine Kindergarten to the ground.

Why so sudden?

Mr. Lang, I'm going to have a negotiation

with that sugar baby this afternoon.

Do you want to join me?

I'm busy.

I'm busy dealing with the most notorious scammer in Taiwan.

Just keep eating that banana.

It's just a kindergarten.

You know what?

There is more than one mistress in this case.

Now there's another mistress.

That means we can milk more out if it!

That's right!

So the important thing for us to do right now

will be to find more victims.

Actually, don't bother. It's not like you know where to look.

Come with me to the kindergarten later.

Way to ask someone for a favor.

Only on one condition.

I'm listening.

Didn't you say we were going to the kindergarten?

Why are we here?

You'll know in a bit.

Liang-liang's dad?

I'm sorry to bother you.

Here you are.

Thank you.

I've already quit.

You should ask the new teacher

about Liang-liang instead.

Here is the thing.

The new teacher isn't familiarized with things yet.

I'm curious.

What do they cook for lunch?

Liang-liang doesn't like eating.

But lately, he can finish an entire bento box when he comes home.

For lunch...

The kindergarten prepares lunch and snacks

based on what the kids need.

Is that so?

From my understanding, there aren't nutritionists there.

Liang-liang also told me

that often halfway through lunch,

he needs to play hide and seek with the teachers.

-Hide and seek? -Hide and seek?

The kids play hide and seek a lot.

I'm sorry, I just remembered I have somewhere to go.

I can't chat with you any longer.

So...

I'll be frank with you.

You quit because

you weren't getting paid enough for what you did, right?

Not only did you look after the kids,

but you also needed to take them home.

You had to cook and clean.

Worst of all,

there were too many kids for you to look after.

Miss Xiao-yu.

If you can help us

and testify against Sunshine Kindergarten,

we can help you get compensated.

I already quit.

It's none of my business now.

What do we do now?

Are we leaving?

No.

Fine. Then I'm going.

Miss Xiao-yu.

I'm guessing that you have a kid?

I can tell from your home decor.

Your kid must be really happy.

I'm sure that you're a brilliant teacher.

But as a parent,

would you want something like this to happen to your kid?

Let's go.

The kindergarten

overenrolled over 20 kids.

Every time there was an inspection,

I'd have to hide the kids away.

One teacher should only be in charge of 15 kids.

But I had to look after more than 20.

Sometimes even 30!

I just couldn't take it anymore.

Put down what is in your hands.

Rabbit table, stand up with me.

Let's play hide and seek.

Come down.

Keep walking.

Come on.

Keep walking.

Now sit down.

I could handle it if there weren't so many kids.

If there were a lot of kids,

I could only hit or yell at them.

I was so worried that something bad might happen.

Sit. Find a seat. Go in.

I had to leave.

And no teacher ever said anything?

The ones that stayed, they obey.

I raised the issue once

and I was bullied by the headmaster and other teachers.

Most teachers are the headmaster's relatives.

People like me who were interviewed

were just there to fill the vacancy and do the dirty work.

We usually don't last over a year.

Miss Xiao-yu.

If we could use

what you've just told me as testimony,

it would really help this case.

-But there's no way you'll win. -How do you know?

I just know.

People have sued before, but there was never enough evidence.

You are my evidence.

Even if I testify, I'd be targeted and attacked.

You decide if you want to step forward.

You're too lenient!

That's why so many kids have suffered!

Let me tell you.

Even if I have to lose everything,

I'll still sue the pants off them!

I'm sorry about that.

He's a little dramatic today.

Don't worry. We'll help you.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.
