171: Zhou Yun: My thoughts are really simple.
Without any hesitation, Chairman Lan Hongbo quickly swallowed a quick-acting heart-saving pill, closed his eyes, and slowly recovered for a moment before feeling better.
This was an old problem for him, so he often kept quick-acting heart-saving pills with him.
His face turned dark when he opened his eyes, and he couldn't understand what was going on!
You could say that civil disputes requiring administrative litigation were one thing, and there was nothing they could do if the other party didn't make it public.
As a result, the administrative litigation inexplicably turned into a criminal case, causing a major earthquake in the Yinshan District Education Department, and a top lawyer from Magic City was criminally detained.
What on earth did Zhou Yun, that bastard, do in Lüshan City?
And the key point was, which bastard posted this on the internet, and even specifically mentioned that it was sent by the Jiangdong Province Lawyers Association? This was truly infuriating!
Chairman Lan Hongbo felt like he had been unlucky for eight lifetimes; how could he have been so blind as to choose Zhou Yun to go out and promote legal knowledge? Was he promoting legal knowledge, or was he going to take Chairman Lan Hongbo's life?!
While President Lan was still complaining, his phone already rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a call from a friend at the Magic City Lawyers Association; he composed himself and then answered.
"Hello, Lao Lan, what's going on over there? Why did you let that Zhou Yun go to Lüshan? Ah, Director Song of Tianyi Law Firm is asking me what's going on."
"That Zhou Yun, do you know what he did? He deliberately set a trap; he designed all of this himself. You say everyone is a lawyer, why did he act so ruthlessly?!"
"No one provoked him, so why did he have to go this far?"
"Lao Lan, is there anything you..."
Listening to his friend's complaints on the phone, Chairman Lan Hongbo quickly explained, "Old Xiang, would you believe me if I said this has nothing to do with me?"
"Every year, we have this legal knowledge popularization activity in the countryside, and this year, we thought since Zhou Yun is so famous, we'd let him participate too."
"But he said something about 'training for battle, not for show,' and that he would play for real once he went down there, so what could I do but agree?"
"But I didn't expect him to play such a big game. Please tell Director Song that I really don't know..."
He finally finished explaining with great difficulty, but from his friend's tone, it seemed he wasn't entirely convinced.
He probably thought Chairman Lan Hongbo wanted to use this opportunity to gain fame.
Not long after hanging up, new calls came in, still asking him about the matter, and Chairman Lan Hongbo could only continue to explain that it had nothing to do with him.
After more than a dozen consecutive calls, Chairman Lan Hongbo couldn't take it anymore.
Because this time it was indeed Zhou Yun's design, and although the online reports were not very detailed, industry insiders could see it at a glance.
Chairman Lan Hongbo was furious from this barrage of calls and directly dialed Zhou Yun's number.
He no longer wanted to contact Zhou Yun through Zhuang Zhenrui.
He thought back to how he had previously thought Zhou Yun was a polite young man who knew when to advance and retreat; now it all seemed like a joke!
This person was purely a goddamn lunatic, a lunatic who didn't care about any consequences!
In a hotel room in Yinshan District, Zhou Yun was reading documents when his phone rang; he picked it up and immediately smiled.
"Hello, President Lan, do you have any instructions for calling me?"
Chairman Lan Hongbo's angry voice came from the phone: "Zhou Yun, can you tell me now, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You've already done the administrative litigation, why did you have to design it that way, why did you have to turn it into a criminal case?"
"You could clearly win the lawsuit by doing it normally, why did you have to make it like this!"
"Is it true, as the internet says, that you only feel happy and excited when you see others go to jail?"
Zhou Yun remained silent, waiting until Chairman Lan Hongbo had said almost everything before he spoke, "President Lan, please listen to my explanation first. Of course, there's a reason for me doing this."
Chairman Lan Hongbo said with a dark face, "Alright, go ahead, I'll listen to your explanation!"
Zhou Yun said cheerfully, "The reason for doing this is very simple: before the lawsuit, the Education Department said that it wasn't that they wouldn't pay, but that they didn't have money."
"So, if we followed the normal process, even if we could win the lawsuit in the end, there's a very high chance it wouldn't be enforceable."
"You're an experienced lawyer, you should know about this situation, so I had to find a way to ensure I got the money."
Hearing this, Chairman Lan Hongbo couldn't help but say, "What does enforcement have to do with you? That's the Court's business, why do you care? Your brain..."
He stopped halfway through his sentence, remembering the proof of the other party, and President Lan swallowed his words, feeling quite uncomfortable.
Zhou Yun immediately said, "Of course it has something to do with it. What good is a judgment that can't be enforced?"
"My goal is to solve problems for my clients, not to get a judicial IOU, so I have to find a way!"
"Zhou's Law, first rule: If you can't solve the problem, solve the person who raised the problem, and the problem will naturally be resolved."
"Under what circumstances will people actively give money? That's when they're facing jail time."
"The Court also follows this logic; when they can't enforce, they'll also arrest people, it's just that in this situation, they can't arrest anyone..."
Chairman Lan Hongbo was stunned by what he heard. For a moment, he really wanted to refute the other party's twisted logic, but he couldn't think of how to refute it.
This person had actually created a set of logical relationships for himself that he could believe.
After a long while, Chairman Lan Hongbo finally spoke, "What is that Zhou's Law?"
"Oh, you mean that..." Zhou Yun chuckled, "Zhou's Law is a law proposed by Zhou Yun, also known as Zhou Yun's Problem-Solving Guidance Law. What do you think?"
Chairman Lan Hongbo opened his mouth and said, "Your brain... Damn it!"
He cursed halfway before remembering the proof again. Why did those people at the Mental Health Center have to issue such a proof?
Idiots, all of them are idiots!
After hanging up the phone, Chairman Lan Hongbo directly called the leader of the Judicial Department. He wasn't going to do it anymore; whoever wanted to do it could.
If he continued, he would lose years of his life. Someone like Zhou Yun was just outrageous!
In the room, Zhou Yun hung up the phone and continued to study the case files. In fact, he didn't know who uploaded it to the internet.
He just had a feeling, as if someone wanted to solidify this matter, like leaders giving projects and so on, described in great detail.
Besides that, things like a top lawyer being criminally detained, and the Jiangdong Province Lawyers Association, were all just muddying the waters.
Interesting, this is really interesting. Conflict can be said to be everywhere.
Just like the various news that suddenly exploded online in his previous life, especially those that brought down certain leaders, many netizens had analyzed that there must be someone pushing it from behind!
Because anyone who has tried to defend their rights these days knows that it's really hard to make a piece of news go viral overnight. Most of the time, these rights-defense videos posted online don't cause any ripples.
Of course, these matters had nothing to do with Mr. Zhou. Some lawyers online were already saying he was too ruthless.
But he genuinely just wanted to get the project payment for his client; it was just that his method was slightly different.
Online, this news released by "Four Corners Observation" had already ignited the internet.
As always, it only observed other provinces.
As for the netizens' views, most people expressed that the matter must be thoroughly investigated, mainly to clarify why the project payment was not given in the first first place, leading to historical issues.
And whether the project was given this time...
As for what was said about Zhou Yun's design and the Provincial Lawyers Association's support, netizens didn't feel anything about it.
What's wrong? What if Zhou Yun designed it? No matter how many traps he dug, if you didn't jump into them yourselves, he couldn't do anything, right?
It was because you didn't want to lose the lawsuit and didn't want to pay that this situation arose today.
And under such boiling public opinion, the Yinshan District Discipline Inspection Department issued a notice stating that the dismissed leader of the Education Department had been placed under investigation.
Also placed under investigation was a leader who had retired several years ago.
