In other words, there was simply no use to hire a lawyer. Even if they hired all the lawyers, it would be to no purpose other than spending more of the Lin family's money. The lawyer hired by the Lin family clearly informed them that Qiao Nan had to decide to give up Old Lin's inheritance voluntarily and to return them to the Lin family.
Otherwise, the Lin family would not even be able to get a single cent from Old Lin's inheritance, let alone his whole fortune.
No matter how you looked at it, there was no point in fighting this case. The lawyer would not waste his own time or put his reputation at stake trying to fight this case.
The relationship between the Lin family and Old Lin was just too poor. Even the people from the central committee had heard and spoken out about it. They were not going to disappoint Old Lin, who had made great contributions to the development of the country.
