99: Come on, Director, I’ve got you covered!

After a tremendous effort, a group of people finally moved two carloads of evidence into the City Bureau.

Hong Yongze was panting heavily; he hadn't realized how truly heavy paper could be when stacked up.

Just then, a voice rang out in his ear: "I say, Old Hong, your body is a bit out of shape. You need to exercise more. Look how tired you are from moving things."

Old Hong turned his head upon hearing this and saw Zhou Yun standing there, not red-faced or out of breath, looking as if he could run another five kilometers without a problem.

Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating.

Illegal business operations is an economic crime, falling under the jurisdiction of the Economic Investigation Detachment, but there was simply too much stuff.

A group of people began to inventory, while Zhou Yun was called away by the City Bureau leadership.

First, there were the usual pleasantries like "I've heard much about you," and then the leader began, "Lawyer Zhou, you've certainly given us a tough nut to crack this time."

Zhou Yun smiled upon hearing this and said, "I originally intended to do an academic report, but I didn't expect the problem to be so severe. I've caused you trouble here..."

At this point, there was no need to say things like "This is your responsibility" or "Serve the people."

The City Bureau leader smiled and said, "Actually, it's not much trouble. This situation indeed needs to be addressed. We'll accept the case for now, but whether to officially file it still needs to be reported to the City Bureau."

Zhou Yun naturally had no objections: "I have no problem with that."

After the City Bureau leader asked a few more detailed questions, their conversation concluded.

Zhou Yun stood up, ready to leave, when he suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Leader, I have a small favor to ask, I don't know if..."

The City Bureau leader smiled upon hearing this and said, "Lawyer Zhou, just tell me what it is."

Zhou Yun began, "It's like this: if the case is filed, when our Police Officers make arrests, I'd like them to say one specific thing to the suspects..."

Hearing Zhou Yun's words, the City Bureau leader's face was full of surprise: "Do you really want them to say that? Alright, I remember something similar in your previous videos."

"I'll handle it for you. I'll make sure to tell them specifically then."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Zhou Yun smiled, bade farewell, and left.

Next was the waiting game; it was a two-pronged approach. If the case wasn't filed, he would have to ignite public opinion at the fastest possible speed.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Old Zhuang was very weary.

"Director Fang, this truly isn't me playing favorites. All of Zhou Yun's actions have been recorded, and this simply cannot be considered unfair competition. Moreover, for these types of cases, it's impossible for other lawyers to take them on."

Director Fang's voice came through the phone: "Zhou Yun is already on the leadership's radar; we won't easily move against him. However, he also needs to be a bit more low-key and not keep generating a pile of reports, don't you think, Old Zhuang?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely advise him to be more low-key. Alright, alright, Director Fang."

Hanging up the phone, Old Zhuang sighed. There were too many real-name reports, so much so that the City Bureau leadership had specifically called to inquire about this matter.

Fortunately, he could still handle it. Now, Lao Zhou should be fine, right?

Half an hour later, in the office, facing Old Zhuang's inquiry, Zhou Yun smiled shyly: "Director, you know what you're saying, how could I mess around? Arbitration in this area has basically been mediated where possible."

"Yes, just have them execute it. I'll mainly be busy with this matter later."

Old Zhuang finally relaxed: "It's better for you to be careful. Director Fang just called and said there are quite a few real-name reports targeting you now."

Hearing this, Zhou Yun immediately asked curiously, "Director, you're not going to be able to cover me, are you?"

Old Zhuang immediately replied, "What do you mean by that? Who am I? I, Zhuang Zhenrui, am the Lawyers Association President, how could I not be able to cover you!"

"It's just... just to ask you to be a tiny bit more low-key, that's all. It's not that I can't cover you. That's it, you go get busy."

Zhou Yun smiled and bid farewell. He hadn't lied; he was indeed busy with this matter. As for the rest, that was the Public Security Bureau's business and had nothing to do with him.

He was merely a reporting party. The case originally had nothing to do with him; the Public Security Bureau's investigation and filing of the case according to their authority was their business.

Besides, Old Zhuang had just personally admitted that he could cover him!

During this period, many workers in Jinghai were very happy because their money had begun to arrive in their accounts one after another.

Lawyer Zhou confirmed each one.

Some people no longer worked in Jinghai, but they heard about this matter, made an electronic contract, and mailed the evidence, originally just trying their luck.

Unexpectedly, even a five-hundred-yuan salary was recovered!

"Lawyer Zhou, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do."

At the entrance of a certain labor boss's office, a worker said with great excitement.

Zhou Yun smiled and waved his hand: "Since I've collected everyone's legal fees, I must help them see it through."

Behind him, the labor company boss stared with wide eyes, completely unprepared for such an outrageous situation—the Lawyer personally coming to urge execution!

Damn, this was too much.

He had originally wanted to resist, but this Lawyer slammed his hand on the office desk, cracking it.

The boss, who had a dragon tattooed on his body and boasted about having been a gangster who'd cut people in the past, couldn't utter a single word and obediently transferred the money.

Lawyers aren't scary, and being able to fight isn't scary either, but a Lawyer who can also fight like that is a bit terrifying.

The crowd present was all laughing. Lao Zhang squeezed over and said, "Lawyer Zhou, what about my money...?"

Zhou Yun looked at him and then said, "Your boss is Ren Weihao, right? That might take a bit longer."

"They are unwilling to accept mediation, so I've asked some others to help persuade them. It should be quick then. I've submitted all of your cases."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang nodded. He now unconditionally trusted Zhou Yun, but he was still a little anxious.

In this atmosphere, the sub-bureau reported the case to the City Bureau.

The City Bureau was also conflicted; what to do with an unprecedented case?

The case was then reported to the Provincial Department, and after multiple investigations, a notice finally came down: file the case!

Only small cases look at the law; medium cases depend on the impact. If this matter isn't handled, the impact will be especially bad!

As for dealing with Zhou Yun, don't joke around. Zhou Yun has already caught the eye of the leadership; Jiangdong Province is preparing to mold Zhou Yun into a banner.

At this point, you're saying we can't solve the problem, so we want to solve the person?

That would be clueless.

Zhou Yun is certainly different; with the things he's done, any other Lawyer would have run into trouble long ago.

The higher-ups wanted the case to be filed and thoroughly investigated, so the lower levels naturally sprang into action.

What is the primary task in economic crimes? Is it to arrest people? Of course not.

The primary task is money. Money is the core of economic cases. As long as the money can be controlled, dealing with the people becomes much easier.

Thus, one morning, Ren Weihao suddenly discovered that all of his accounts had been frozen!
