206: Rumors are so abominable!
At the hearing, Lü Dehai could no longer hold back and roared continuously.
“You say it’s an evil force, so it’s an evil force? You say it’s legitimate defense, so it’s legitimate defense? My son was stabbed and severely injured without even moving his hand!”
“He almost died!”
“Now, my son is sentenced to life imprisonment, but this little beast can actually be found innocent? Why? I don’t agree!”
“Whoever dares to say it’s legitimate defense, I will fight them to the death! I won’t do anything else for the rest of my life, I’ll just fight them to the death!”
It could be said that Lü Dehai was completely insane now; he felt that everyone was bullying his son.
Everyone present remained silent. They were all invited to go through the motions, and facing such a hysterical situation, it was better not to get involved.
And most importantly, that man was present here now.
Zhou Yun slowly stood up, cleared his throat, and said, “You really hit the nail on the head. If we say it’s an evil force, then it’s an evil force. If we say it’s legitimate defense, then it’s legitimate defense.”
“What, you’re not convinced?”
“Let me think, from the very beginning when we made the call until now, we’ve communicated countless times. I’ve also clearly explained the legal basis for identifying your son as an evil force and Guo Zihao’s actions as legitimate defense.”
“But you’re still not convinced, and now you’re threatening everyone. Alright, I’ll tell you again now, Guo Zihao’s actions were legitimate defense.”
“If you’re unhappy, then come at me. Whatever you do, I’ll take it. You want to fight me to the death for the rest of your life? I’ll wait for you. It’s best if you come to fight me to the death every day. Did you hear me clearly?”
Once this case was completed, his progress as a junior lawyer would reach 4/5, and he would only need one more to become a mid-level lawyer.
However, despite this, with the three skills of “Lucky Charm,” “Death Evasion,” and “Hostility Perception” now, he was not afraid of any attacks.
Threats were useless; Zhou Yun was never afraid of any threats!
Besides, he had seen it before: this Lü Dehai was all bark and no bite, and he absolutely did not have the guts to do anything.
In fact, for many such acts of revenge, those people did not utter any threats before retaliating… they just acted directly, the kind that risked their lives.
Conversely, those who made all sorts of harsh threats about killing someone or other often didn’t have the guts to do it…
Lü Dehai was stunned by these words and couldn’t speak for a long time.
Including the people sitting around, such as the National People’s Congress deputies, CPPCC members, and Lao Wu, they were all equally shocked. Although they knew that Mr. Zhou Lawyer would not back down, they didn’t expect him to directly retort!
The other party was already in a fit of rage. Didn’t Mr. Zhou Lawyer fear that the other party might impulsively cause trouble?
On the other hand, Chen Yinghe felt that he was indeed the familiar Mr. Zhou Lawyer from the videos, always going head-to-head.
After speaking, Zhou Yun stared intently at Lü Dehai, while across from him, Lü Dehai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn’t know what to say.
He knew his own situation. Although his son was very important, he himself was still young.
That was just a burst of rage accumulated from emotions; now he had calmed down.
Perhaps… he should have another child. After all, he and his wife were still young…
Thinking of this, Lü Dehai directly left the hearing room, slamming the door shut.
Everyone looked at each other. Zhou Yun sat down, took a sip of water, and said, “Alright, shall the hearing continue? Where were we? Oh, confirming it’s legitimate defense…”
Guo Xitian and Guo Zihao were also silent on the side, especially Guo Xitian. He should have stood up just now…
The hearing ended in such an atmosphere. Everyone got up to leave, but before leaving, they all asked Zhou Yun for his contact information.
Such a lawyer, honestly, might be useful someday.
If they really encountered something, having such a lawyer by their side would provide immense security.
Zhou Yun naturally accepted everyone; it was a work number anyway, and who knew, he might encounter an interesting case someday.
After the hearing, the Procuratorate acted quickly. About three days later, they issued a decision not to prosecute!
In the Procuratorate office, Guo Xitian looked at the decision in his hand, his face full of tears.
He turned to kneel but was pulled up by Zhou Yun, who had already anticipated it.
“No need. Everyone knows I’m a person who values money over people. Since I’ve taken your money, it’s normal for me to handle your affairs well.”
Chen Yinghe, on the side, shook her head. This Mr. Zhou Lawyer really was…
Zhou Yun had already turned to look at Guo Zihao: “Kid, study hard from now on. At least get into a good university. Don’t just mess around in those schools. Studying is still very important.”
“Alright, the case is done. As agreed, I’ll post the case online later. Any problems?”
“Then I’ll be leaving. Prosecutor Chen, everyone, we’ll meet again if fate allows.”
With that, Zhou Yun left with his bag. This case was one of his best performances since he transmigrated, and Old Zhuang should be satisfied.
As expected, it was a win-win situation again. Those who should get life imprisonment got it, and those who should be innocent were found innocent. School leaders and education system leaders would also likely go in. Sweet.
In the Procuratorate office, Guo Zihao looked at Zhou Yun’s departing back and involuntarily clenched his fists. He wanted to be a lawyer in the future too!
Chen Yinghe was also deeply moved. She could say she had personally watched Mr. Zhou Lawyer push the case step by step to its current state.
Using civil law to leverage criminal law, then “you fight your way, I fight my way,” and then directly securing victory with the brilliant stroke of “evil force group.”
This was a case that could be directly used as internal training material for lawyers, and even judges and prosecutors!
Thinking of this, Chen Yinghe prepared to find her leader. She believed this case could be reported to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and serve as a typical case for the national Procuratorates this year!
That’s right, the Supreme Peoples Court has typical case guidance, and the Supreme People's Procuratorate also has them.
………
It was already evening when he returned to Jinghai. Xiao Duan was still waiting outside.
“Have you told Old Zhuang about the situation?” Zhou Yun asked with a smile in the car.
Xiao Duan nodded from the side: “Director Zhou already knows. He secretly danced in his office for a long time, though I don’t know what kind of dance it was.”
The significance of this case was truly great. At the very least, it would become Jiangdong Province’s annual typical case. If luck was better, it might even become a typical case released by the Supreme Peoples Court!
For a law firm, if a lawyer under them could handle such a case, then this year’s work was worth it. This was a case that could be boasted about repeatedly in the future.
And it was obvious without even thinking that the video of this case would be extremely popular once released.
Campus bullying itself was a topic of particular concern to netizens. In recent years, there have been continuous bullying videos posted online, enraging netizens.
Zhou Yun chuckled without speaking. What he needed to do now was quickly produce the video.
He returned to the law firm, and Old Zhuang slowly walked out of his office, saying calmly, “Lao Mr. Zhou is back. That case was handled as legitimate defense, right? Very good.”
“I said from the beginning that you would definitely do well with this case. Everyone saw it, I was completely right.”
Xiao Duan remained silent on the side. The lawyers in the hall were very surprised. Were Director Zhou’s requirements so high now?
Director Zhou handled such an amazing case, and he didn’t even praise him?
Zhou Yun smiled without speaking, letting Old Zhuang continue to act cool. He hoped he could be so calm every time in the future. Mr. Zhou had a big plan in his heart.
Back in the office, Zhou Yun started making the video. In fact, he would work on it whenever he had free time at the hotel, so now it was just a matter of finishing touches.
Facing the microphone, Zhou Yun began: “Hello, everyone. I’m your lawyer, Zhou Yun. Today, I’m bringing you a case of campus bullying and legitimate defense.”
“I want to reiterate that those online rumors saying I like to send people to jail and that I get excited when I see others imprisoned are all false. I reserve the right to defend myself against these rumors.”
The rumors were too terrible. He was clearly just excited, and he didn’t know why it was called “Excitement” (overly excited/manic)… these two words were poles apart!
There were even malicious rumors saying that the reason Mr. Zhou Lawyer didn’t have a girlfriend was because he would… when he saw people go to jail.
Simply outrageous!
It took about two more days to finish the final work, and Zhou Yun immediately made a call.
“Hello, Sister Xie, regarding that case I told you about before, the one involving minors, my video is finished. Yes, I’ll send it to you shortly, and you can review it.”
“I personally think this case is very typical and can be used as a public education video…”
