Free Web NovelChapter 887: Chapter 343: The Lawyer Chickened Out at the Last Minute?
"Xiao Hu, do you think they’re being a bit too shameless?"
After recounting everything, Zhang Chunhua still looked furious.
As if...
She was the one who had suffered a great injustice.
"The other side... indeed seems a bit excessive."
The young man, Hu Xingzhi, instinctively nodded.
According to Zhang Chunhua.
The other party was turning black into white over a few fish, and even had the audacity to be the first to file a lawsuit.
It was truly a bit low.
"Yes, we also can’t swallow this anger, how can we tolerate such behavior?"
Zhang Chunhua nodded repeatedly, "That’s why we absolutely didn’t give them the fish, planning to take them to court!"
At this point.
She paused for a moment and said tactfully, "You work at the law firm, this little favor... you shouldn’t refuse to help, right?"
Hu Xingzhi chuckled wryly.
But seeing the pleading and hopeful look on Zhang Chunhua’s face, he finally nodded and agreed.
When Zhang Chunhua and the people behind her, like Qi Lianglei, heard this, they all showed joy.
Getting a free lawyer...
Would save a large sum of money.
As freeloaders.
They couldn’t bear to spend a penny on these fish!
"Alright, why don’t you come find me after you receive the subpoena..."
Thereafter.
Hu Xingzhi briefly explained the legal process to the group and agreed on some details.
As for Zhang Chunhua and others...
He still kept a cautious mind.
Didn’t completely trust them.
At Legal Pioneer Law Firm, there’s a famous saying, that is to never trust your client.
They...
will always betray you in unexpected ways.
...
Jin City.
Nursing home.
Legal advisory office.
After bringing Li Weiguo back, Qin Mu returned to the office.
Preparing the complaint.
This incident...
Was the smallest and simplest case he’d ever dealt with.
The dispute merely involved a few buckets of fish.
Yet the other side...
Refused to return or release these fish.
Most might turn a blind eye, but he couldn’t.
"Finally done."
An hour later.
Looking at the complaint and series of evidence he had prepared, Qin Mu stretched lazily.
The complaint...
Naturally accuses the other party of deliberately seizing someone else’s property and refusing to return it.
It demands a sentence of six to three months in prison for these seven people, an apology, and the return of the fish.
And the evidence...
Includes videos taken by onlookers with their phones at the time.
In fact.
Afterwards, he reached out to a few onlookers and obtained these materials.
The onlookers were very cooperative.
They cheerfully handed over the evidence to him.
Additionally.
Police dispatch records and body camera footage from law enforcement could also serve as supporting evidence.
The chain of evidence was quite sufficient.
It could prove that all these fish belonged to Li Weiguo, after all, Qi Lianglei and the other seven had already confessed.
Then.
Having prepared the necessary materials, Qin Mu took Li Weiguo with him to the court.
Submitted the complaint.
...
Meanwhile.
The entire Jin City.
Every industry suddenly experienced a whirlwind of activity.
Real estate agency industry.
In the agent group chat...
A大量 of "insider information" suddenly appeared.
"Explosive news, another bold figure has emerged in Jin City, seven of them at once!!"
"Who says there’s no emperor in Jin City? The era where the jinx held sway is over!"
"Someone actually dares to sue Qin Mu, got to admire their courage!"
"I’m curious, which lawyer dares to represent them in this lawsuit? Can they win?!"
"..."
The busy agent group.
Suddenly stopped posting listings and property sales information.
They all started to discuss how someone intended to take Qin Mu to court for a head-on confrontation.
The shadow Qin Mu had left on the agency industry hadn’t completely faded.
They still vividly remembered...
How Qin Mu had taken down a large agency, leading to everyone being taken in.
Lately, Qin Mu had finally quieted down a bit.
They hadn’t forgotten for long.
And now, there were people who dared to provoke Qin Mu again.
It’s like the God of Longevity eating arsenic, courting death.
...
Jin City fishing group.
All the big and small fishing enthusiasts were equally stirred.
The group chats that used to discuss fishing spots and techniques...
Took on a different tone.
"What happened? I heard something big happened at Jin River this afternoon?"
"Sigh, another day without a catch, but now I hear there were people fishing in Jin River? And they’re catching those released merit fish?"
"A day without a catch isn’t scary, if you’re in disbelief, try the new energy fishing rod, left hand firewire, right hand lead, release one kilowatt, redeem ten pounds of fish."
"Already bought one, and I must say, the wifi in prison is actually pretty good."
"..."
As the first group to encounter Qin Mu...
They were not unfamiliar with Qin Mu.
Back then, a few people tried to take away the Ancient Wood in front of Qin Mu...
In the end, they collectively ended up in jail, something everyone remembered vividly.
No one could have imagined...
Nearly a year had passed, and Qin Mu had once again stirred up a storm in their circle.
However...
Technically speaking, they were fishing.
And those seven people were clearly stealing fish.
Leaving aside the catch, in terms of character, the anglers were much more noble than them.
About this matter...
They all showed a high level of attention, wanting to know who gave the other party the courage.
To actually sue Qin Mu over a few fish.
...
At the same time.
Other group chats in different industries were also discussing the related incident.
The buzz was unprecedented.
Those who participated in the crowd in the afternoon...
Were very excited and eagerly spread the incident around.
In no time.
The entire Jin City learned that someone was going to sue Qin Mu.
"There are so many people joining in the fun, I bet you won’t find a seat at the court hearing that day."
"I gave up long ago, just watching the livestream online is enough, not for anything else, just to admire the hero’s demeanor!"
"These people are so shameless, they intercepted the fish that people released, so who does the merit belong to?"
"Probably should ask Buddha, if the release of fish fails, can it still gain merit?"
"Buddha: Nonsense, can’t you add a bit more to my incense money with this effort? Stop doing these insubstantial things and be more practical!"
"..."
The public opinion was almost one-sided.
Everyone sided with Qin Mu.
Those who witnessed it clearly saw.
The fish were intercepted at the release point, which no one could tolerate.
Many people...
Hoped Qin Mu could give these people a deserved lesson and hit back at such shameless behavior.
Even though this kind of thing is trivial, it is indeed enough to disgust people.
...
The next day.
Jin City.
A certain bungalow in the suburbs.
Qi Lianglei, Zhang Chunhua, and the other five received the court summons as desired, notifying them that the trial would be held in three days.
Seeing the "sentencing recommendation" on the summons.
Everyone was somewhat flustered and couldn’t sit still anymore.
They all gathered at Qi Lianglei’s house, preparing to head to Hu Xingzhi’s residence together.
"Don’t panic, it’s just a lawsuit, right? We’ve already hired a lawyer, what are we afraid of?"
Qi Lianglei looked at everyone and pretended to be calm as he comforted them, "Didn’t we just have the news yesterday in Jin City? A group of people had the nerve to sue Qin Mu, this lawsuit of ours is child’s play."
Yesterday.
News spread wildly about someone wanting to sue that disaster star Qin Mu.
He naturally heard a bit about it too.
After knowing this, he was greatly encouraged.
He suddenly felt not alone on his path.
If others dare to sue Qin Mu, why should they fear suing an old man?
Could it possibly be more terrifying than suing Qin Mu?
After hearing this, the others relaxed their tense expressions slightly.
Subsequently.
The seven of them, each with their lawsuit document, went to seek out Hu Xingzhi.
Half an hour later.
Everyone gathered at Hu Xingzhi’s house.
Acting as the contact, Zhang Chunhua eagerly looked at Hu Xingzhi, saying, "Lawyer Hu, the summons has already arrived, and the case is in three days. Please have a look..."
While speaking.
She handed over the summons.
Hu Xingzhi took the summons and read it carefully.
But as he continued reading...
His pupils suddenly narrowed, and his expression changed slightly.
"What’s the matter? Is the case a bit tricky?"
Qi Lianglei couldn’t help but ask when he saw the situation.
Hu Xingzhi, with a black face, slammed the summons onto the table.
Unhappily, he asked, "This isn’t just about whether it’s tricky or not, do you... know who your opponent is?"
The seven of them looked at each other.
Some were puzzled.
Their opponent...
Wasn’t it just an old man?
"Take another look at the summons yourself and see who the opposing attorney is!"
Hu Xingzhi rolled his eyes, increasingly speechless.
This group...
Did not even know who their opponent was.
Last night.
It was all over Jin City, everyone was saying a hero was born in Jin City to sue Qin Mu.
After knowing this, he immediately thought of Zhang Chunhua and the others.
He felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation.
The online version...
And the version Zhang Chunhua narrated to him were entirely two different stories.
And they were opposites.
With so many onlookers seeing it, clearly, Zhang Chunhua and others were talking nonsense, almost dragging him into trouble again.
"Sorry, Aunt Zhang, you should find someone else. I can’t take this case."
Finally.
Hu Xingzhi directly stood up and opened the door to see off the guests.
Choosing to avoid risk urgently, he sent Zhang Chunhua, Qi Lianglei, and the other five out the door.
Becoming enemies with Qin Mu...
Was indeed too dangerous.
In the past, Zhang Wei dared to go against Qin Mu because there were massive agency fees involved.
But Zhang Chunhua and others...
Clearly did not intend to pay, wanting him to represent them for free.
He would have to be out of his mind to take this risk.
And outside the door.
Qi Lianglei, Zhang Chunhua, and the other five looked at each other.
They watched each other, and you looked at me.
From the time they walked in, they were kicked out in less than ten minutes...
"The lawyer’s gone, now... Second brother, what do we do?"
The six of them all looked at Qi Lianglei in unison, suddenly dumbfounded.
The summons was already in hand.
But things were not as they imagined.
The opponent they were suing was actually Qin Mu!
And the lawyer they had originally hired...
Suddenly backed out at the last minute, refusing to represent them!
