152: There is a slight deviation from your goal.
Looking at the extremely excited students, Judge Li actually wanted to say that Mr. Zhou Lawyer was a bit abnormal, so his way of thinking was different from ordinary people.
It's like "if you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem"; this clearly isn't how a normal person thinks.
In other words, don't learn the thought process of a mentally ill person, or you might become abnormal too.
But… he still didn't say it, after all, the handsome guy next to him had a certificate!
He didn't know if the people at the Mental Health Center were abnormal, how could they think of issuing such a certificate to Zhou Yun.
However, he still explained the situation to the students, purely for the purpose of popularizing legal knowledge, which was why they made dumplings.
However, the students present quickly lost their excitement, because Zhou Yun had already started debating with them.
The students finally experienced what a "hearty confrontation" truly was.
Once the debate began, Zhou Yun saw no students, only opponents; he was basically merciless, and the debate was interspersed with various legal attacks.
That's why no one at Zhentian Law Firm is willing to debate with Zhou Yun now; basically, whatever Director Zhou says, everyone just says, "Ah, yes, yes, Director Zhou is right."
Therefore, Mr. Zhou could say he had been holding back for a long time; although the university students were a bit fragile, there were many of them.
"This student, given the quantum entanglement-like unobservability between the 'facts' and 'evidence' you assert, our side suggests, in accordance with Article 65 of the Civil Procedure Law, to apply for an extension of the evidence submission period until the heat death of the universe."
As his words fell, a girl who hadn't clarified the relationship between facts and evidence during the previous debate immediately blushed. Although the other party's words contained no vulgarities, the mockery mixed with legal jargon was unbearable.
"Oh, this student, you just said that law is the lowest standard of morality, right? That's not wrong at all, it's just no wonder there are so many people who are legally immoral in life."
"Some people treat the law as a trampoline; as long as they don't hit rock bottom, they can bounce higher in the moral lowlands."
Judge Li remained silent; if he dared to speak at this moment, he would definitely be pulled directly into the battle by Zhou Yun.
And hearing Zhou Yun's words now, he instinctively smiled, a magical analogy from Zhou Yun.
It was like before, "The Court is a top, and a top won't spin on its own; you have to whip it, and then it will spin."
Yes, Zhou Yun had used this analogy in front of Judge Li.
The logic of this analogy was fine, and it was very apt, because the Court is indeed passive; someone must file a lawsuit for a judgment to be made.
If no one sues, the Court won't move.
But using the analogy of whipping, it just sounds a bit off...
And now again, comparing law to a trampoline, with moral lowlands beneath the trampoline...
He didn't know how this guy came up with these strange things.
However, at this moment, Judge Li suddenly saw Zhou Yun turn around.
"Hey, Judge Li, you just smiled. Do you think there's a problem with what I said? Come on, let's have a good chat!"
Hmm... huh?
Judge Li was dumbfounded. No, he couldn't even smile now, could he? Zhou Yun, don't go too far!
Two hours later, at the staff's reminder, "It's time to eat," Zhou Yun finally stopped, feeling satisfied.
Those who study law should debate more; winning or losing isn't important, what's important is to speak more and integrate what they've learned.
Meanwhile, many students below had vacant eyes, some already doubting whether they should continue studying law.
Judge Li didn't want to say a word. Before, he would sit above and watch Zhou Yun confront the other party, and it felt great. Now that he was the one sitting opposite, it didn't feel good at all.
He decided that next time this guy confronts someone, he'll warn him directly!
Thus, the lecture ended. Zhou Yun prepared to go back and make videos, while the students of Political Science and Law University had already posted about it online.
"Shocking! To make his lecture appealing, Zhou Yun actually sent people in on the spot!"
"Experience what a debate fanatic is like; Mr. Zhou Lawyer is one."
Because no photos or videos were allowed on site, everyone only provided text descriptions.
But even with just text, netizens were amused.
An apparently unwinnable case was actually found to have issues by Mr. Zhou Lawyer, who then "solved the person who raised the problem" in return.
However, reading only text wasn't satisfying enough, so everyone started tagging Mr. Zhou Lawyer, urging him to release the video quickly.
The internet was bustling. After Zhou Yun returned to the law firm, he called Zhu Shuyi.
On the other side, Zhu Shuyi was at work. Regardless of anything else, work still had to be done; she had to earn money to eat.
Seeing her phone ring, Zhu Shuyi looked left and right, then took her phone into the restroom.
The call connected, and soon Zhou Yun's voice came through the phone: "Hello, Miss Zhu, let me tell you something. Your case is almost handled."
"It's not about winning the lawsuit or anything. Things might be a little different from what you expected. Now, including that company boss, dozens of people in total have been arrested for suspected fraud."
"Those people you borrowed money from before, they've all been arrested, and you don't have to repay that fifty thousand anymore."
"Then, I will provide your registration information to the Public Security Bureau. Pay attention to your Bank card notifications; you will receive a refund of about three thousand yuan, which is the money you overpaid."
Huh? Zhu Shuyi was stunned.
She had originally thought of hiring Mr. Zhou Lawyer to see if she could repay a little less, but now Mr. Zhou Lawyer said those people had all been arrested?
And not only did she not have to repay the money, but the other party was going to refund over three thousand?
This wasn't just a small deviation; this was a huge surprise!
Was this the legendary great lawyer? Zhu Shuyi felt she couldn't even describe it with words.
She could only say, "Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Zhou Lawyer. So, I don't need to do anything else, right?"
"No, everything has been resolved. The case will be withdrawn later. You just wait to receive the money."
"Also, if any suspect's family members or lawyers contact you for a letter of understanding, you can contact me or the Public Security Bureau to mediate. You can ask for a reasonable amount, probably up to ten thousand, but they likely won't give more."
Cases with numerous victims like this naturally allow for letters of understanding, but it's impossible to get one from everyone.
Letters of understanding provided by some victims do have a certain effect; in short, the Court will consider them comprehensively.
And in cases of gang crimes, every person in the gang might need a letter of understanding, and victims can also provide a letter of understanding to one or more individuals separately.
In short, although it's a gang case, the judgments are made one by one.
Friends who are often involved in gang cases and go to jail are surely familiar with this process.
Zhou Yun explained in detail, then hung up the phone.
Zhu Shuyi walked out of the restroom in a daze; she still hadn't fully processed it.
When those people called, they swore they would report her to the credit system, expose her contacts, and sue her, scaring her so much that she couldn't sleep well for days.
But now, they were all in jail!
For this period, this fifty thousand yuan, this lawsuit, had weighed heavily on her heart like a mountain.
Now it was finally resolved, and in a way she couldn't even imagine.
Not only would she get a refund, but she might even earn a little through letters of understanding... This was simply unimaginable!
At Zhentian Law Firm, Zhou Yun put down his phone. For him, this was just normal procedure; if you commit a crime, you must be punished by law, overpaid money must be refunded, and if you want a lighter sentence, you need a letter of understanding. It's all very normal.
Now, he would notify the others and make the video.
