145: Is this something a human can do?
Yu Yun was thinking about something else when he suddenly heard Zhou Yun's name and was stunned: "Wait, what did you say that lawyer's name was?"
Liu Supervisor quickly added: "General Manager Yu, his name is Zhou Yun, that Zhou Yun from Zhentian Law Firm!"
Yu Yun's expression changed instantly, and he stood up and paced a few steps, saying: "Are you sure it's really him?"
"It's him, it's clearly written on this statement of defense," Liu Supervisor said, his expression also not looking good.
Yu Yun was speechless for a moment, and after his expression changed several times, he finally spoke: "But why? How could this Zhu Shuyi possibly hire Zhou Yun!"
The two sides clearly had no connection whatsoever, so why could Zhou Yun be hired?
Liu Supervisor hesitated for a long time before saying: "General Manager Yu, what do you think we should do? This case..."
Yu Yun silently rubbed his face and said: "Don't worry, even if it's Zhou Yun, what can he do? We are suing legally and reasonably, and he, Zhou Yun, can't say anything!"
"When does the summons say the Court session is? Ten days later? Why is it so long?"
Liu Supervisor carefully examined the summons in his hand, then suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Wait, General Manager Yu, the Court address written on this summons is not in the Court, but in the Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law's Comprehensive Building Conference Hall."
"Ah?" Yu Yun snatched the summons and looked at it carefully, and it was true.
"What the hell does this mean? Why is the Court session being held at the Political Science and Law University!"
Yu Yun couldn't understand, so he said again: "Go call Old Yin over."
Old Yin was the company's Legal Director, solely responsible for all legal matters of the company, including legal risk review, and he was fifty-one years old this year.
After he arrived, Yu Yun immediately handed over the materials in his hand.
"Old Yin, take a look. One of our cases has been taken by Zhou Yun. It's nothing that Zhou Yun took it, but the key is that the Court summons says this case will be heard at the Political Science and Law University. Have you ever seen this?"
Old Yin took the materials and looked at them, saying: "I have seen this situation, but it's rare."
"How about this, I'll call the Court to inquire about the situation."
After getting Yu Yun's approval, Old Yin immediately took out his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed the number.
"Hello, is this Jingnan District Court? I am... I have something to ask. The summons we received says that this case will be heard at Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law. What's the situation?"
The voice of a staff member from the Jingnan District Court came from the phone: "Hello, this case is one of the 'Court Goes to Campus' promotional cases, a cooperation between the Court and Jiangdong University of Political Science and Law."
Upon hearing this, Yu Yun, who was standing by, couldn't help but say: "But you didn't tell us about this, so we..."
His words were interrupted before he could finish.
"According to relevant regulations, the Court has the right to decide the location of the Court session, and your case is originally an open trial, so there is no problem with setting it up in the school."
Under normal circumstances, it is generally necessary to consult with both parties, and grassroots work is not so rigid; the main focus is flexibility.
If you are unwilling to show your face, then so be it; there are other cases.
However, because of Zhou Yun, and because this case was special, the Jingnan District Court did not discuss it in advance and simply made the decision.
Old Yin shouted into the phone: "Can't you change it?"
"Not now. Once the summons has been issued, it cannot be changed again," the staff member's reply was calm.
Yu Yun couldn't hold back: "Aren't you too overbearing? So, we have to listen to you, right? Then I'm not going!"
The staff member's voice remained unhurried: "Whether or not you attend the Court session is your freedom, but the summons clearly states that if you do not appear, the judgment will be made by default."
In civil litigation, if the defendant is absent, the judgment will be made by default. If the plaintiff refuses to appear without proper reason, it will be treated as a withdrawal of the lawsuit.
Yu Yun was so choked up that he couldn't say a word.
He could only hang up the phone bitterly and say: "Old Yin, let me ask you, in our case, if the opposing party is Zhou Yun, will there be any unexpected consequences?"
Yu Yun also had some understanding of his own actions, but as for whether it was a predatory loan or a crime, he himself was not entirely clear.
Just like the previous professional store closers, they all believed it was in a gray area.
But the professional store closers were made miserable by Zhou Yun, so Yu Yun wanted to know if there would be any unexpected consequences.
Old Yin frowned and thought for a long time before saying: "General Manager Yu, I cannot guarantee that for you, after all, that is Zhou Yun, that person... is a bit abnormal."
Their model was relatively new, and theoretically everything relied on "voluntariness," including liquidated damages, which the other party had agreed to.
Seeing that there was no result, Yu Yun still decided to ask others.
Better safe than sorry; it was still necessary to be cautious when dealing with Zhou Yun.
Anyway, there were still ten days until the Court session, so there was no need to rush too much.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhou Yun had already received a reply from the Public Security Bureau, deciding to file the case for investigation!
The reason for filing the case was that the Public Security Bureau had already conducted a preliminary investigation, which involved summoning and questioning the two most typical individuals Zhou Yun had highlighted from the transfer records.
Don't be surprised; this kind of preliminary investigation is the mainstream.
Although regulations state that investigation can only begin after a case is filed, you should know that once a case is filed, it becomes very, very difficult to withdraw it.
Therefore, from some cases online, we can see that the Public Security Bureau generally conducts preliminary investigations before filing a case. Note that it is an investigation, not an interrogation.
So how does the Public Security Bureau investigate? The answer is... they just call people to come over.
They call you to come over. What is the nature of this? No nature.
A summons warrant requires a case to be filed, and a verbal summons only applies to those found at the scene.
So what to do? Just call... This method is most often used by those who frequently take care of young women who claim their "father gambles, mother is sick, and brother needs schooling."
A phone call has no legal nature; you can go or not go. If necessary, they will come to your door to summon you. If not necessary... they are too lazy to bother.
Generally, many people will go when the Public Security Bureau calls them.
The same happened here; the young man was called over and asked a few questions, and he told everything. He had sold his card.
Subsequently, the Public Security Bureau decided to file the case for investigation.
Well, with this, Zhou Yun didn't need to bother anymore.
However, to avoid certain situations, Zhou Yun decided to do one more thing.
"Xiao Duan, go tell Old Zhuang to inquire with the Legal Aid Center and other members of the Lawyers Association to see how many cases this company has recently sued."
"Then discuss with them to transfer all these cases to me. I'll pay according to the normal standards."
"Otherwise, if that company doesn't cooperate with the withdrawal of the lawsuit, it won't be fun."
What? Xiao Duan was instantly dumbfounded. This... Is this an operation that a normal human can perform?
He couldn't even imagine what that "Extreme Speed Company" would think when they saw a pile of statements of defense where all the lawyers were Zhou Yun...
