49: A knife stabbed a bright future

This video went viral and hit the trending searches in less than half a day.

There was no other way; Zhou Yun’s popularity was just that high now. Anyone who saw the video of him with a knife in his chest angrily confronting the other party would be moved.

Although lawyers work for money, no matter how high the legal fees are, are they enough to buy a life?

So now, seeing that the Law Firm Director was doing something like this, netizens immediately started criticizing him!

“Awesome! You steal someone’s young girlfriend, and after getting beaten, you still try to trip them up, right? Is this kind of person fit to be a lawyer?”

“It has to be said, Zhou Lawyer is indeed tough. When he encountered such a problem, he didn’t hold back at all and directly took action. No wonder he wasn’t afraid when others came looking for trouble; he’s always been very tough.”

“So, is it that this generation of netizens is not good enough? Hurry up, who exactly is that Law Firm Director? Haven’t they found out yet?”

Facts proved that this generation of netizens’ abilities were still perfectly fine.

Especially in the legal profession, major law firms usually advertise, so as long as you know which law firm someone belongs to, you can generally find them.

Compared to other industries, it is quite transparent.

However, because many law firms have started to corporatize, most of the people who receive you are actually legal sales.

Coupled with legal consultants from some legal consulting companies, it appears very chaotic.

Remember one thing: it’s impossible for a lawyer to give you any guaranteed results when taking a case, just as a doctor would never guarantee that an operation will be successful.

A legitimate lawyer will only tell you how big the risks of the case are.

Only those legal sales or legal consultants will make all sorts of promises to secure cases, like “you find us, and we guarantee you’ll win.”

Especially those from legal consulting companies, after taking on a case, they transfer it to a lawyer. Then, if you go to complain or report the lawyer, the lawyer has a reason to say, “I never made you any promises.”

So, if you’re looking for a lawyer and want to confirm whether the other party is a real lawyer, there’s a very simple way: check the National Lawyer Practice Integrity Information Platform.

As long as they are a legitimate practicing lawyer, you can definitely find them there.

In short, with the efforts of netizens, Jiang Qiming’s information was quickly found.

“Come on, everyone, take a look. This guy, he’s quite old, right? If he had children, they’d be about the same age as Lawyer Zhou’s ex-girlfriend. How could he do such a thing?!”

“What the heck? This man’s appearance is just average, but he’s actually the Lawyers Association’s Vice President? Is this how the Lawyers Association’s leadership is?!”

“Say no more, let’s all complain together. But will complaining work? Affairs like finding a mistress seem to be moral issues, right?”

The legal profession is a circle. Those juicy scandals online are only exposed to the outside world when they can’t be kept secret, but within the circle, there are truly too many scandals.

There are even cases of men and women fighting in the office, not to mention mistresses.

Big shots who frequently have mistresses know that such things are often tacitly understood. Even if they are exposed, the male superior’s job and family are generally not affected, but the female subordinate… more than ninety percent of the time, she is advised to leave.

Yet, women always think they can become the official partner…

And in this atmosphere, a netizen with the title of “Lawyer” stood up to explain.

“Lawyer Zhu Qionghua”: Such reports are basically useless. What the previous netizen said is very true: having a mistress is a moral issue and does not violate regulations.

“So, when everyone reports, don’t report for the reason of having a mistress, but rather report on the grounds that the Law Firm Director is using his identity as the Lawyers Association’s Vice President to retaliate for personal reasons…”

“Believe me, this kind of report is what lawyers fear the most!”

Inside Jinghai City’s Qingmo Law Firm, Zhu Qionghua was constantly typing on her phone.

She was the Lawyer Zhu who initially invited Zhou Yun to a live stream collaboration, hoping to create a show effect.

Unexpectedly, during the collaboration, Zhou Yun’s brilliant operation completely reversed the situation…

However, in a sense, Zhu Qionghua could be considered the first person to promote Zhou Yun’s rise to fame.

After that, Zhu Qionghua never live-streamed again.

The reason she stood up this time was because she saw hope!

It was obvious that after this incident, the Jinghai City officials would definitely make Zhou Yun a banner to uphold. At this time, what else was there to wait for if not to cling to a powerful figure!

Adding icing to the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow!

So, she directly analyzed from a lawyer’s perspective how to make a report most effective.

She also took the opportunity to educate netizens on the difference between reporting and complaining.

For example, in the current situation, everyone should be reporting.

As for complaining, that is for specific matters, for example, if a lawyer handled a case, but their attitude was particularly bad and they weren’t dedicated, then you would be complaining.

The legal circle is sometimes very big, and sometimes very small.

As a local lawyer in Jinghai City, Zhu Qionghua knew very clearly that Jiang Qiming was 100% retaliating for personal reasons, no doubt about it.

Everyone in the circle knew that Jiang Qiming was incredibly petty. After being beaten by Zhou Yun, he would definitely try every means to get revenge.

In the past, no one investigated, and many things were like that; when not investigated, everything seemed calm and peaceful, as if all was well in the world. But as soon as an investigation began, it felt like everything was a problem.

Now, since the officials wanted to establish a model, they would definitely resolve other issues concerning this model. In this situation, even if there were no problems, problems would arise after investigation.

What, you’re not convinced? Too bad, just hold it in!

And after Zhu Qionghua finished speaking, netizens online seemed to have found a method and began various elaborate reports.

Similarly, Kang Xiaoyu’s identity information was also dug up. For such behavior of knowingly being a mistress, one can imagine how vicious the netizens’ words would be.

It was the kind of venom that could make someone faint just by reading it.

At Tianhe Law Firm, Jiang Qiming smashed his phone!

Although he had anticipated that someone would post the incident online, he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Qiming wanted to send a message to Kang Xiaoyu, then realized his phone was already shattered.

There was no other way; he had to go out himself and call Kang Xiaoyu in.

Kang Xiaoyu, upon entering the office, immediately started crying: “Director, the internet is full of people calling me a mistress. What should I do?”

She didn’t even dare to look at her phone now; the netizens were cursing too harshly.

By now, even her family knew about it. Her mother called asking if it was true and said she had disgraced the entire family.

Kang Xiaoyu truly hadn’t expected things to escalate to this point.

Zhou Yun, it was all Zhou Yun! If it weren’t for Zhou Yun, how would she have become like this!

And now, the only person she could rely on was Jiang Qiming.

“Don’t worry. Let those people online say what they want. No matter what they say, they can’t harm us. The most important thing now is to prevent me from being affected, do you understand, Xiaoyu?”

Jiang Qiming said.

This was the only solution he could think of. As long as Kang Xiaoyu could come forward and state that she had no relationship with him, that the video online was a baseless rumor, and that she had already reported it to the police, then it would be easy to handle.

But it would only be easy to handle.

The best way would be for Kang Xiaoyu to also record a video, saying that she now had a boyfriend, and that she was already depressed and suicidal due to cyberbullying…

In short, he wanted to use every possible means to shift the entire incident onto Kang Xiaoyu. Slowly, once the heat of the matter passed, everything would be fine.

Kang Xiaoyu naturally didn’t know any of this; she just instinctively felt that something wasn’t quite right.

Seeing Kang Xiaoyu hesitate, Jiang Qiming quickly added: “Don’t worry, Xiaoyu, after this matter blows over, I’ll divorce and marry you, I promise!”

Upon hearing this, Kang Xiaoyu immediately nodded. Every mistress has the desire to become the official wife; a mistress who doesn’t want to become official is not a qualified mistress.

Seeing Kang Xiaoyu nod, Jiang Qiming breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just then, his assistant suddenly walked in, her face anxious, saying, “Director, look, the Lawyers Association just issued a notice saying that your Vice President position has been suspended, and they’re launching an investigation into you!”

What? Jiang Qiming took the phone and looked, his face filled with disbelief, “Impossible, it can’t be this fast! What exactly is going on?!”

When did the Lawyers Association, or rather, the Bureau of Justice behind it, become so efficient? How long has it been, less than half an hour, and they’ve already dealt with him directly?

The key was that he knew nothing, didn’t even get a notification, and saw the news online.

At this moment, Jiang Qiming completely panicked, because this meant that someone above was going to take action against him!

Kang Xiaoyu on the side said, “Director, then do you think I still need to…”

“Get out first, all of you, get out, get lost!” Jiang Qiming roared.

Kang Xiaoyu was stunned. He actually yelled at her?

Although she was a mistress, she had always been pampered. She never expected him to yell at her now?

She wanted to say something, but Jiang Qiming’s eyes were terrifyingly cold.

“Are my words not working anymore? Get out, damn it!”

Jiang Qiming’s mental state collapsed. He never dreamed that he would end up in this situation because of Zhou Yun.

Kang Xiaoyu walked out of the office, her face full of tears. She didn’t understand why this man had become so unfamiliar, so quickly.

He had just said he would divorce and marry her, and now it was like this?

By evening, good news came from the People’s Hospital: the surgery was successful, and Zhou Yun had already woken up!

After all, it wasn’t a fatal injury. Although it looked very dangerous, he was sent to the hospital in time, and Zhou Yun himself was very strong, which is why he woke up so quickly.

The internet was abuzz, and many netizens posted “Thank heavens” under the announcement.

Although everyone usually spoke harshly, they still had one thought for such a lawyer: he must live.

This society needs such lawyers, such tough lawyers!

Because everyone has times when they encounter problems.

And when problems arise, having a lawyer willing to fight for your rights is very satisfying.

At the Provincial People’s Hospital, the crowd outside the operating room slowly dispersed. Although everyone wanted to see Zhou Yun, he had just woken up and needed rest.

Sun Jianshe, who had traveled all day, was the oldest person in the crowd. At this moment, his face beaming with joy, he said, “It’s good that he’s okay, it’s good that he’s okay.”

It was just that the old man regretted that he was a bit late when he came from Ning City. The hospital said they had already received enough deposit, so they couldn’t take any more money.

He could only think about sending some tonics to Lawyer Zhou later.

In fact, the hospital was also in a state of confusion. Although Zhou Yun was stabbed and went through the green channel, the hospital certainly couldn’t bear the cost themselves.

They were still wondering what to do when a group of people came up and started paying.

They wanted to register their names and the amount of money, and then refund the money when Zhou Yun was discharged, but those people said they didn’t need to be refunded.

They said to just give the money directly to Zhou Yun then.

Honestly, the hospital hadn’t encountered such a situation in many years.

This situation even continued into the evening, with people constantly wanting to help pay, including leaders from the Lawyers Association, who all expressed their willingness to pay for the medical expenses out of their own pockets.

Even in the evening, there were very old people who wanted to pay, and it took a lot of persuasion to stop them.

In fact, Zhuang Zhenrui was very helpless at this moment. When the incident happened, he rushed over but still didn’t make it in time.

He had originally wanted to pay to gain some goodwill, but he didn’t expect so many people to compete with him!

It was one thing to compete for things, but so many people competing to give money? It truly puzzled him.

He could only wait to build goodwill later.

Of course, he arranged for Jiang Qiming. He found the self-media, so the subsequent actions were naturally quick.

And he didn’t act on his own initiative but did so after consulting with the Bureau of Justice leaders.

The Bureau of Justice leaders’ attitude was also very clear: people like Jiang Qiming must be thoroughly investigated!

That sentence was enough. When the leaders said “thorough investigation,” it meant that a result must be found.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Zhou Yun looked at the system panel in front of him. Although his face was pale, his spirits were good.

With this incident, as long as he didn’t do anything outrageous in the future, he basically wouldn’t have to worry about being targeted.

With the system, he certainly wanted to do some things.

But in this day and age, if you want to do things, you will offend people. Offending ordinary people is one thing, but if you offend certain people, it’s easy to be manipulated in other ways.

For example, by blocking your account, or by having the local Bureau of Justice exert pressure. There are too many official ways to make things difficult.

This is why some cases lawyers dare not take.

But with this stab, the whole situation opened up. Other things aside, making things difficult for him should be less frequent in the future.

Speaking of which, he should thank Manager Ma. That stab directly cut open a bright future.

This incident should have been big enough, right? Looking at the task, it showed “Completed” next to it.

“System, claim task reward!”

“Detected task over-completed, task reward doubled!”

“One million cash and thirty exchange points have been issued!”

Holy cow, is it that good?

Although he knew that the bigger he made the incident, the more rewards he would get, this reward still exceeded Zhou Yun’s imagination!

Awesome! This stab was not in vain. It seems this skill needs to be kept ready at all times.

It’s good to handle these kinds of cases. Otherwise, it would take ages to accumulate exchange points.

Looking at the panel again, a new task had already appeared: complete an administrative case!
