35: This reward is awesome!

It wasn't just Liu Pengfei; the other two urban management officers were in a similar situation.

This was like a bolt from the blue; more than two years had passed, and the money they received back then was long gone.

The expenses for their minor injuries and hospitalization were actually minimal because their unit directly covered their work-related injuries.

There was no issue with them being covered for work-related injuries; their unit asked them to remove Sun Weitao, and their injuries were a result of that, so it was indeed a work-related injury.

Therefore, most of that one hundred thousand yuan was for themselves.

Now, suddenly, they were told they had to return it, which was simply too outrageous!

The urban management department was equally helpless; they were caught in the crossfire, merely cooperating with the work, yet the housing expropriation office was fine, while they were saddled with a heap of troubles.

The most exasperating part was for Dashan County Court; they presided over the criminal case, and now they had to bear the national compensation.

Now, they even had to mediate and help retrieve both the settlement fees and the infringement fees.

Is this how people are bullied? Is there still justice? Is there still law?

"Of course, we must adhere to the law. Our Court is the last line of defense. If the Court itself disregards the law, that would be the most terrifying scenario, wouldn't you agree?" Zhou Yun said with a smile, looking at the staff member from the Dashan County Court Compensation Committee.

The staff member smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "Lawyer Zhou, I'm sure you've already guessed the circumstances of this case; it's truly too much bullying."

Zhou Yun said nothing; he had naturally guessed it. After all, demolition is essentially a coordinated effort.

So, the timing of their rights defense was quite coincidental, because the former leader had been transferred to the city for semi-retirement, and the new leader naturally wouldn't care about these matters.

Seeing Zhou Yun remain silent, the staff member sighed: "The compensation is basically settled. Alas, Lawyer Zhou, what kind of situation is this..."

In recent times, Zhou Yun had heard that phrase more than once; one could only say it was fate.

Next, the proceedings continued as scheduled. The urban management bureau directly opted for mediation, as they truly couldn't afford to go to Court for just over ten thousand yuan.

Liu Pengfei and the two others insisted on going to Court but didn't hire a lawyer, and they were utterly defeated by Zhou Yun during the trial.

There was no appeal after the first instance, and the judgment had already taken effect.

At Sun Weitao's home, Sun Jianshe looked at his phone, his face full of pleasant surprise.

"Lawyer Zhou, so much money?"

Zhou Yun smiled and said, "Three hundred thousand from the settlement, three hundred forty thousand in national compensation, plus fifteen thousand from the urban management compensation, for a total of six hundred fifty-five thousand yuan."

Sun Jianshe's family was a bit bewildered. Before finding this Zhou Lawyer, their lives were unbearable.

Finding a lawyer was a last resort, especially since Sun Chenhui wanted to become a police officer.

And now, this Zhou Lawyer not only cleared Sun Weitao's name but also secured over six hundred thousand yuan for them!

It could truly be said that this Zhou Lawyer directly saved their entire family!

As Sun Weitao was about to say something, Zhou Yun smiled and said, "There's no need for thanks. My travel expenses total sixteen thousand five hundred yuan. Just give me that amount."

"I won't accept more; that would be illegal. I hope you can understand."

This fee included accommodation and food expenses.

Sun Jianshe and the two others exchanged glances. To be honest, they had never met a lawyer like Zhou Yun.

After such a long string of rights defense efforts, even they were dizzy just listening to it, yet the other party only asked for a five thousand yuan lawyer's fee.

"Lawyer Zhou, no matter what, our family truly thanks you so much. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word. No matter what it is, the three of us will definitely be there!" Sun Jianshe said, enunciating each word.

He truly didn't know how to thank the other party, so he could only offer a promise, even though this Zhou Lawyer might not care.

But Sun Jianshe had already made up his mind.

Zhou Yun smiled and nodded. After carefully putting away the travel expenses, he stood up to take his leave.

"No need to see me off. Just live your lives well from now on."

Leaving that one sentence, Zhou Yun turned and departed.

He was already impatient. In fact, after Sun Weitao was released, the system panel showed that the mission was completed.

He just hadn't attended to it, instead insisting on finishing all the follow-up work.

After all, the system had hinted that the higher the mission completion rate, the higher the rewards he would receive.

"Mission completed. Client is extremely satisfied."

"Detected mission over-completion. Mission rewards doubled."

"Fifty thousand cash and twenty exchange points have been issued!"

Holy cow, Zhou Yun nearly soared to the heavens after seeing this. Fifty thousand cash! Although it was still far less than the millions starting online for other netizens, with just two more cases like this, he could afford a down payment.

And most importantly, there were actually twenty exchange points!

He now had thirty-one exchange points. Without any hesitation, Zhou Yun directly opened the system store and exchanged for one skill: "Death Evasion."

He had coveted this skill for a long time. With this skill, his series of plans could finally unfold.

Moreover, and more importantly, lawyers these days are also somewhat developing into high-risk groups.

In his previous life, there had already been multiple cases of lawyers being attacked.

He estimated that in the future, he would definitely touch upon more "untouchable slides," so this skill was very necessary.

As for the remaining eleven exchange points, Zhou Yun thought for a long time and still decided to exchange for a bottle of "Body Enhancement Potion."

According to the system's description, after drinking this potion, all aspects of his body would be enhanced.

With his current mouth, he estimated that he would definitely offend many people in the future, so his body must be strong, or rather, he must be able to fight!

Why should he be able to fight? This is to make the idiotic people on the other side listen to him reason calmly.

Lawyers have this one drawback: you want to reason with others, but they don't want to listen.

What to do then? You can only resort to some physical methods to make the other party listen to your reasoning.

No problem.

There was no time to return to Jinghai today. Zhou Yun returned to the hotel and spent ten exchange points to redeem a bottle of potion.

It was a blue bottle, looking very dreamy. After admiring it briefly, Zhou Yun drank it all in one gulp.

It tasted sweet...

As this thought just appeared, Zhou Yun immediately lay down on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

If he were still conscious, he would notice that his body was constantly getting stronger, his muscles becoming more toned and powerful.

Time flew by to the next morning, and Zhou Yun was woken by the sound of his phone notifications.

He groggily got up and saw that he was actually lying on the floor. The sedative effect of this potion was quite good.

He picked up his phone and saw that someone was constantly sending him messages; it was the top supporter, "Night Raid on Widow Village."

This big brother kept asking him what he did last night and why he didn't stream.

Zhou Yun didn't know what to say as he looked at it; he felt the power of the top supporter's urging to stream.

He quickly replied, "I had something urgent last night. I can stream today."

After replying to the message, Zhou Yun stood up and clenched his fists, feeling that his body had indeed become stronger, visibly so.

If he used to look like a delicate young man, now he had a somewhat robust feeling.

He should drink more of this potion in the future.

But the most important thing now was to edit the video. He had already been doing this work as the case progressed.

Now that the case was finally over, the video also needed to be produced.

People online had been discussing whether he hired actors, so perfect, he would show them what rights defense looked like.

He worked on his laptop in the hotel all morning and finally finished.

After careful thought, Zhou Yun typed out the title: "Is Resisting Demolition Obstructing Official Duties? This is Self-Defense!"

No problem, upload!
