196: Why don't you thank Lawyer Zhou?

Guo Zihao and his mother were both completely stunned at this moment.

Why did they hire a lawyer in the first place? It seemed to be because the other party was asking for too much money, and all four families wanted money, which they simply couldn't afford.

And it was true that they had been bullied before, so they thought about finding a good lawyer to communicate well with the other side.

Unexpectedly, after this communication, the letter of understanding was no longer needed, nor was the money. Instead, the other party was going to jail and would have to pay them for a letter of understanding.

As for being innocent or anything like that, to be honest, they had never considered it. After all, with two severe injuries and two minor injuries, no one could justify it.

Moreover, their family had consulted with other lawyers before, and all of them told them that there was no point in thinking about being innocent; it was simply impossible.

But now, Mr. Zhou Lawyer's maneuver directly left them dumbfounded.

His wife next to him quickly said, "Mr. Zhou Lawyer, how did Mr. Zhou Lawyer manage this?"

Guo Xitian shook his head, "I don't know."

On the other side, Zhou Yun put down his phone. In a sense, he was indeed solving his client's problem.

The client said he really couldn't afford that much money for compensation, so he found a way to avoid compensation and even get some money. After all, this money was free money.

Although the criminal law and the Anti-Organized Crime Law do not explicitly state that the identification of evil forces should be strict, the first article of the "Guiding Opinions on Several Issues Concerning the Handling of Black and Evil Force Criminal Cases" jointly issued by the "Two Highs" and "Two Ministries" states that various legal means should be used to fully reflect the spirit of strict punishment according to law.

See? Under the law, strict punishment means that theoretically, it can directly follow the maximum sentence.

Therefore, although it wasn't necessarily life imprisonment before, if it was identified as an evil force, then life imprisonment was practically a certainty.

What bothered Mr. Zhou was how to release this video.

He prided himself on "not liking to send people to jail," but he had now sent four more people to jail, and the main culprit could even face life imprisonment.

But there was no other way, really no other way. He could only handle the case through such means, otherwise, Guo Zihao could not have been deemed justified in self-defense.

Alas, I was originally kind; it's all this society's fault...

While returning to the hotel, Zhou Yun conveniently started notifying the remaining families.

"Hello, Mr. Tao, yes, I have a situation to tell you. The case of Lü Xinhao and the others has already reached the Procuratorate. As the lawyer for your children, I have already communicated with the prosecutor."

"Yes, I offered a little suggestion. There might be a hearing later, and then Lü Xinhao's family should contact you soon. Yes, to compensate you and get a letter of understanding."

"You decide whether to give it or not. If it's a lot of money, then agree. If it's too little, it's definitely not acceptable. Anyway, even if you don't give it, you can still file a criminal incidental civil lawsuit."

"After all, although your children will go to Jinghai for school in the future, Fengxian County is their hometown, and they will definitely come back later. There's no benefit in offending people too much."

"Hmm, I'm just giving a suggestion. You decide the specifics. That's it then, I'm hanging up."

He notified each family one by one, and everything was perfect.

Although he wasn't afraid of threats, as a client, he certainly had to be cautious, so if a lot of money was offered, it really didn't matter.

Once the case was almost done, he would talk to the school and have them pay compensation, which would be even more perfect.

There was no need to sue. He believed that at this point, unless the school leaders were fools, they would definitely pay. However, by then, the current leaders would probably have stepped down, and new leaders might proactively offer compensation.

On the other end of the phone, Tao Hui put down his phone, naturally very satisfied.

Originally, he wanted to defend his rights, sue, and demand money from the other party, but after Mr. Zhou Lawyer's intervention, he directly gained the upper hand, requiring the other party to proactively offer money.

This feeling was truly exhilarating.

On the other side, Lü Dehai racked his brains and finally found another lawyer willing to take the case. He was from the Imperial Capital, not well-known, and belonged to the type of lawyer who barely made a living.

Similarly, this lawyer named Fang Ruifeng was simultaneously representing two cases: he was both Lü Xinhao's defense lawyer and Lü Xinhao's lawyer as a victim.

At this moment, Fang Ruifeng had finished reviewing the case files and looked at Lü Dehai, saying, "Mr. Lu, I've generally understood the situation. First, I can tell you very clearly that innocence is impossible."

"The evidence for your son's actions is very clear, and they are all videos they filmed themselves. There is basically no room for defense."

"What we can do now is to plead guilty and accept punishment, then actively seek understanding, and with his status as a minor, we might be able to seek a relatively lighter sentence."

For this case, even probation was impossible; the subjective malice was too high.

In just a few days, Lü Dehai's hair had turned a bit gray. During this time, he could say he had begged everyone, but it was all in vain.

He wasn't like Qi Tongwei, who could call directly to deal with a rape case. But what level was that person? He simply couldn't find leaders of that level.

Moreover, given the current situation, even if he could find one, no one would be willing.

So, after listening to the lawyer, he could only nod and say, "Lawyer Fang, then I'll leave everything to you."

Fang Ruifeng nodded, "Currently, there are six victims. We need to obtain letters of understanding from all of them."

"We'll arrange it like this: there are six victims in the robbery, and the one named Guo Zihao happens to be a suspect in the intentional injury case, so we can exchange letters of understanding with him."

"For the remaining five, Mr. Lu, I remember they sued before, right? We'll negotiate based on the amount they sued for."

"Now you need to prepare more money, and your attitude must be good. You must apologize sincerely."

"The key is the family of that girl. We need to discuss this carefully, but be prepared, the girl's family probably won't want to give a letter of understanding."

"I will actively communicate with the prosecutor here to see if we can gain the prosecutor's support."

Lü Dehai naturally had some money. In the past, whatever his son did was basically resolved by money and connections.

One could only say he was too doting in everyday life and always felt his child was still young, which led to today's outcome.

Holding his phone, Lü Dehai hesitated for a long time before finally making up his mind to dial Zhou Yun's number.

He actually didn't want to make this call. He knew how difficult this lawyer named Mr. Zhou was, and more importantly, his son's current situation was all thanks to him.

Lü Dehai wished he could fight to the death with the other party, but now, he could only grudgingly make the call.

There was no other way. Guo Xitian had blocked him and said that everything concerning him would be decided by Mr. Zhou Lawyer.

Soon, the call connected, and a voice came from the phone: "Hello, Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?"

Lü Dehai suppressed his emotions and said, "Mr. Zhou Lawyer, I want to talk about my son's letter of understanding."

On the other side, Zhou Yun immediately laughed, "A letter of understanding, huh? Mr. Lu, you've finally realized your son's mistake, haven't you? See, I told you long ago, but you didn't believe me then."

"But it's no use talking to me now. Whether to issue a letter of understanding is decided by the client, so please call Mr. Guo Xitian directly. He has already removed you from his blacklist."

"Including the remaining five families, you can just call them directly. Their phone numbers are on the indictment you received, so you don't need to trouble the Procuratorate again; just call them directly."

"Mr. Lu, don't you think I've been very thoughtful?"

Lü Dehai: "..." He really wanted to curse.

But he could only say, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhou Lawyer."

It was best to talk directly with the other party's client. He truly couldn't stand this man named Mr. Zhou; just hearing him speak made him want to kill him, always being sarcastic.

After hanging up, Lü Dehai adjusted his emotions. He had called Guo Xitian countless times before to demand money and had threatened him countless times, but he never expected that this time he would have to beg them.
