170: It is said that it is supported by the Jiangdong Provincial Lawyers Association. President Lan is awesome!

Soon, Gao Yewei's wife came out of the kitchen and asked, “Is someone knocking?”

As she spoke, she went to the door and opened it, only to see two Police Officers standing there.

“Ah, what… what can I do for you?” Gao Yewei's wife quickly asked.

The leading Police Officer spoke, “Is Gao Yewei home?”

His wife heard this, not understanding why, but still turned and shouted, “Old Gao, Old Gao, come out for a moment, two Police Officers are looking for you.”

Gao Yewei inside heard this and looked puzzled, “Police Officers looking for me? What for?”

He then put down his little grandson in his arms and smiled, “Wait a moment, Grandpa will be back to play with you soon.”

He walked to the door, and Gao Yewei looked at the two Police Officers, “What do you want with me?”

The Police Officer who had just spoken said, “You are Gao Yewei, right? We are from the Yinshan District Sub-bureau. You are suspected of contract fraud, and our Bureau is now summoning you according to the law. This is the summons.”

Although they had already grasped the general situation after the previous inquiry, the possibility of contract fraud on Gao Yewei's part still existed.

Because he did issue that opinion letter, and in the opinion letter, it was clearly stated that the money should have previously belonged to Kangde Company and now should belong to him.

And after Zhou Yun produced evidence of the previous payment of affiliation fees and the cooperation agreement, on the surface, he was guilty of contract fraud.

Gao Yewei instantly froze upon hearing this, “Ah, what? Contract fraud? No, by what right? How am I guilty of contract fraud?”

His wife on the side also said, “Yes, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? My Old Gao has always been a very honest person, how could he be involved in any fraud?”

“And look at our family's financial situation, there's no need to engage in any fraud.”

The couple desperately tried to explain, and their daughter-in-law from the bedroom also ran out. Seeing the situation was quite chaotic, the Police Officer directly said, “Currently, it's just a suspicion, so we need to take him back for investigation.”

He paused and then added, “Gao Yewei, do you still remember what happened before? You issued an opinion letter to the Education Department, stating that the project funds should belong to you and that the public information infringed upon your rights.”

So it was about that! Gao Yewei quickly nodded and said, “Yes, they found me and asked for my help, and I couldn't refuse….”

“There's nothing wrong with that, is there? I was just simply helping out, and the lawyer I hired also said that my company at that time was the contractor, and with a contract in place, no one could say anything about me.”

The Police Officer immediately said upon hearing this:

“Just simply helping out? Then do you know that this money should belong to Luo Hongxuan? He paid you one hundred and fifty thousand in affiliation fees, so that was paid for nothing? What do you say is the nature of what you did?”

Hearing this, Gao Yewei was stunned, and then he desperately explained, “I don't know! It's been over ten years, I've long forgotten. I really don't remember those affiliation fees….”

“I had no intention of defrauding Luo Hongxuan, it was really the Education Department that asked for my help, and they even said they'd give me some projects to do….”

“But all of this was said by the lawyer, that lawyer from the Devil's Capital said he was very powerful, and that it would be fine like this, he…”

Gao Yewei was excitedly explaining, and at this point, the Police Officer quietly interjected, “That very powerful lawyer you mentioned, just today, he has already been criminally detained.”

In the past few days, the Yinshan Sub-bureau had already opened an investigation into the case. Attorney Yue, who came all the way from the Devil's Capital, directly received a big surprise.

Gao Yewei blinked, then quickly said, “What about Director Xie from the Education Department….”

The Police Officer hesitated and said, “He has also been criminally detained.”

There was a silence on the scene. Gao Yewei was stunned for a long time, finally saying, “Then let's go.”

He no longer knew what to say. One by one, they all went in. What could he do?

But he could swear that he absolutely had no intention of committing fraud; he simply didn't know that this would constitute fraud!

The Education Department, needless to say, its leaders have already been dismissed. This is just the first step, and then they will wait for the specific investigation results.

Because there is a high probability now that it will become an organizational crime. In any case, Xie Weiqiang, who is Director Xie and has been detained, confessed that everything was instructed by his superiors and instigated by the lawyer.

He was just the executor and knew nothing specific, let alone that doing this would lead to obstruction of justice.

That's right, he had specifically reported this method to his superiors before and received an affirmative reply from them.

Otherwise, he was just a Deputy Director; what right did he have to give out projects?

So now, the Education Department is truly in an earthquake, even though it's only within one district.

At Tianyi Law Firm in the Devil's Capital, Director Song ZeKai was in his office discussing a case with a client when suddenly, the office door was pushed open.

Song ZeKai's face instantly changed, and he stood up, ready to see which inconsiderate person it was.

Just then, the voice of a lawyer at the door sounded, “Director, Director Yue's family is here. They said they received a call from the Public Security Bureau in Lüshan City, saying that Director Yue has been criminally detained!”

Huh? Hearing this, Song ZeKai no longer cared about being angry and quickly said to the client in front of him, “Mr. Liu, I need to go handle something first…”

Mr. Liu also stood up and said, “Alright, Director Song, you go ahead and handle it. Isn't Director Yue doing administrative litigation? How could she be criminally detained?”

Song ZeKai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either. However, after all, she was a senior partner of their firm and well-known in the industry, so they absolutely couldn't just watch her be detained.

Top law firms, especially those in the Devil's Capital and the Imperial Capital, even if they haven't reached the level of a Red Circle firm, are no longer ordinary legal service providers.

They have connections with various parties and possess all sorts of capabilities in the industry.

In fact, Song ZeKai certainly knew. Yue Xialan had called another senior partner of the law firm at that time and explained the situation.

Now that she's been criminally detained, it must be because of this matter.

It's just that Song ZeKai didn't expect that she would actually be detained!

After leaving the office, he first comforted Yue Xialan's family, and then called over several lawyers from the firm who specialized in criminal defense.

“The situation is what it is. Old Yue's situation is quite troublesome this time; we need to find a solution!”

After Song ZeKai finished explaining the situation, another partner said, “Director, does this mean that everything was designed by Zhou Yun?”

“Is he sick in the head? Isn't it enough to just win the lawsuit normally? Does he have to do it this way, he…”

At this point, Song ZeKai suddenly said, “Alright, stop talking about Zhou Yun!”

There's no way to talk about it. Should they say that Yue Xialan herself was brainless and fell into someone else's trap?

Everyone is a lawyer, and they all make a living by their professionalism. If you say that, then there's something to talk about: how brainless is your senior partner to be sent in like this?

It would also extend to the law firm. Look, if this senior partner is so bad, are the other people in the law firm even worse?

It's hard to build a good reputation these days, but it's very easy to destroy a signboard.

If your skills are inferior to others, then you're weak, so practice more.

However, in the final analysis, Zhou Yun's methods were too ruthless. If he had said those words earlier, before the judgment was rendered, this matter would not have turned out this way.

Everyone is a lawyer, why be so absolute!

Thinking of this, Song ZeKai's face became extremely unsightly, but now he could only think of ways to deal with it.

Just then, the assistant knocked and came in, saying, “Director, it's already been exposed online that a lawyer from the Devil's Capital was criminally detained during administrative litigation.”

“And the local Education Department has had a major earthquake; it is said that many people are involved.”

What? Song ZeKai took out his phone and looked, instantly stunned. Who the hell did this!

………

Jinghai City, Jiangdong Province Lawyers Association. Chairman Lan Hongbo had been feeling pretty good lately.

Once Zhou Yun finished his case, this matter would be over. He had made up his mind that he would never let Zhou Yun go out again in the future.

Just then, he suddenly scrolled to a piece of news.

“Zhou Yun strikes again, Lüshan City Yinshan District Education Department experiences a major earthquake, Devil's Capital's top lawyer criminally detained… It is said that Zhou Yun's trip to Lüshan this time was supported by the Jiangdong Province Lawyers Association.”

Hmm… Huh? Chairman Lan Hongbo was instantly stunned, his chest tightening.
