365: Settle

As a frontline Police Officer, he might not have seen this department's credentials with his own eyes, but the names "National Special Service Bureau" and "Bureau 749" had appeared in high-level training and confidential briefings within the public security system!

That was an absolutely top-secret department handling major special events involving national security!

Its authority was terrifyingly high!

Special Service Consultant?

And a gun permit?

He immediately focused his gaze on the credentials.

The national emblem, watermark, special material, clear serial number, official seal... every detail indicated that this was definitely not a forgery!

Especially that unique texture and aura of majesty; it was something ordinary identification could never replicate!

A layer of fine cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead!

His attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn!

That bit of bias he had just felt because of "Deputy Director Zhao" was instantly cast to the back of his mind! What a joke!

Forget Deputy Director Zhao; even if the Director himself came, he would have to be extremely polite when facing a Special Service Consultant from a special department directly under the central government!

People from such a department usually only handled matters of immense importance. Why would they appear here?

And what did they have to do with this girl who hit someone?

Could it be that this girl's identity was extremely special?

"S-So it's Consultant Lei!" The leading officer immediately straightened his posture and gave a salute, his tone becoming incredibly polite, even carrying a hint of nervousness. "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you... and the person you are protecting. This... what on earth is going on? You see..."

This scene left Wang Jinbiao, his group of thugs, and the onlookers who had seen the officer's sudden change in attitude all dumbfounded!

The smug smile on Wang Jinbiao's face instantly froze, slowly turning into bewilderment and disbelief.

What bureau? Special Service Consultant? What kind of official was that? Why did the police leader's attitude change so quickly? So respectfully? Even... a little afraid?

Before he could fully react, another figure walked over unhurriedly from the direction Lei Ying had come.

Lei Yue arrived.

Lei Yue walked to Lei Jun's side and likewise bowed slightly to her first. "Miss Lei Jun."

Then, her gaze calmly swept over the police, Wang Jinbiao's group, and finally landed on the leading officer.

She opened her briefcase, took out a set of credentials and several business cards, and spoke in a gentle but clear and organized voice, "Hello, Officer. I am Miss Lei Jun's representative attorney, Lei Yue. This is my lawyer's practicing certificate."

She displayed her lawyer's certificate and then handed business cards to the leading officer and his colleagues.

Printed on the card was "Attorney Lei Yue," along with a line of small text: "Areas of Expertise: Criminal Litigation, Administrative Litigation, National Security Related Legal Affairs." The name of the law firm was also a Red Circle firm, famous in the industry for handling high-difficulty cases.

After finishing her self-introduction, Lei Yue began her statement without any haste.

"Regarding today's incident, I have already gained a preliminary understanding of the situation. My client, Miss Lei Jun, while walking normally, was actively attacked by a fierce, unleashed dog kept by Wang, and her life was threatened. The dog 'A-Fu' carried by Miss Lei Jun, which is legally registered, implemented necessary and limited restraining actions to protect its owner's safety under emergency circumstances. This falls within the scope of justifiable defense and is completely legal."

She glanced at Wang Jinbiao and the thugs behind him, continuing.

"Subsequently, instead of reflecting on his own behavior of illegal dog-keeping and endangering public safety, Wang gathered multiple idle social elements, armed with sticks and other tools, to surround and insult Miss Lei Jun in a public place. He openly committed a massive extortion, demanding a so-called 'compensation' of 200,000 yuan, while simultaneously threatening to kill Miss Lei Jun's guard dog."

"These actions are already suspected of constituting several illegal and criminal acts explicitly prohibited by the current Criminal Law and the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, such as picking quarrels and provoking trouble, extortion, gathering a crowd to disturb public order, and threatening the personal safety of others."

Lei Yue's voice suddenly turned cold, her gaze sharp as she looked at Wang Jinbiao. "As for my client, Miss Lei Jun, after suffering continuous and vile public insults and personal threats, she carried out a slight physical counterattack out of anger and for the purpose of stopping the other party's ongoing unlawful infringement."

"In this regard, we need to make a comprehensive judgment based on the specific context, the degree of the other party's fault, and the necessity of defense. But in any case, compared to the series of serious illegal acts committed by Wang and his accomplices, the nature is fundamentally different."

Finally, she looked at the officer, who was already dumbfounded and dripping with cold sweat, her tone returning to a calm but undeniable pressure.

"Officer, the facts are clear, and the chain of evidence is complete. I believe the primary task now is to take Wang and his accomplices, who are suspected of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, extortion, and brawling, back to the public security organ for investigation according to the law. My client, Miss Lei Jun, as the victim of unlawful infringement and the party of justifiable defense, reserves the right to pursue civil and even criminal liability against the other party."

"Meanwhile, regarding Wang's claim that his relative holds a position within the public security system..."

Lei Yue pushed up her glasses, a cold light flashing across the lenses.

"I will report this to the relevant departments according to the law and apply for the necessary recusal procedures to ensure this case is handled fairly, independently, and without any improper interference. Any attempt to use official power to shield a relative's illegal or criminal acts will be strictly pursued by the law."

Lei Yue's words, with their clear logic, explicit legal principles, and full momentum, directly and completely reversed the nature of the entire incident!

Coming from her mouth, Lei Jun and A-Fu were entirely the victims and justifiable defenders, while Wang Jinbiao and his group were out-and-out illegal criminals!

Not only did she point out that their actions were suspected of multiple crimes, but she also directly exposed Wang Jinbiao's attempt to use his brother-in-law's connections to interfere with justice, and she used trump cards like "recusal procedures" and "reporting upward"!

After hearing this, the leading officer's uniform was almost soaked with cold sweat!

A "Special Service Consultant" of mysterious identity from a special department, Lei Ying, had already put him under immense pressure; now, another top-tier lawyer with rigorous logic, sharp words, and a background that was clearly not simple, Lei Yue, had arrived to directly block all his possible paths for showing favoritism!

Furthermore, everything the other party said was reasonable and in accordance with laws and regulations; he simply couldn't refute it!

He immediately realized that in today's matter, Wang Jinbiao had thoroughly kicked a titanium alloy plate!

Forget his brother-in-law being the Deputy Director; even if he were the Director, he probably wouldn't be able to protect him!

If things went south, even his brother-in-law might end up getting himself into trouble!

"Yes! Yes! You are right, Attorney Lei! Our understanding of the situation was not comprehensive enough!" The officer nodded repeatedly, his attitude incredibly respectful. "We will definitely handle things according to the law! We will never tolerate any illegal or criminal behavior!"
