203: Why don’t you say thank you, Lawyer Zhou?

The High Court had just concluded its hearing and delivered a verdict in the morning, and by around 2 PM, Zhou Yun had already arrived in Fengxian County.

Well, what could he do? Lawyer Zhou was kind-hearted, and he wanted to share such good news with the Comrades in the Fengxian County education system as soon as possible.

But for now, he still needed to inform the Procuratorate, even though they probably already knew, it was still necessary to tell them.

Soon, Zhou Yun dialed Chen Yinghe's number.

"Hello, Prosecutor Chen, are you busy right now?"

At the Fengxian County Procuratorate, Chen Yinghe looked up and smiled, "Lawyer Zhou, I'm free right now. Just tell me what you need."

"It's like this: Lü Xinhao and their case had its second appeal upheld by the High Court today, so do you think Guo Zihao's case can be handled now?"

Chen Yinghe's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "Upheld? The High Court was so fast this time! In that case, we can indeed proceed. The Procuratorial Committee in the Procuratorate has already discussed it."

"Lawyer Zhou, are you in Fengxian now? You're so fast too... Alright, let's keep in touch."

Zhou Yun hung up the phone, hailed a taxi, and headed straight to the Fengxian County Discipline Inspection Department.

As for whether the county would cover anything up, that didn't matter; the key was to follow the correct procedures.

We mentioned before that the first rule of reporting is to assign responsibility to specific individuals.

And now, the second rule of reporting is to ensure the procedures are solid.

Many people, when reporting, think about finding higher-level Discipline Inspection Departments, but those who frequently petition and report know that if your procedures aren't in place, no matter how high the level you go, they will send you back to the original institution.

For example, right now, a county's education department is only at the section level, and the Principal goes without saying.

This level is generally supervised by the county-level Discipline Inspection Department; people within the system generally understand that skipping levels in reporting is very taboo.

Similarly, the same applies to reporting: if you complete your procedures and the local authorities don't act, then taking that result of local inaction to a higher authority for reporting is no problem.

Moreover, at this point, they cannot send you back; if they do, it's called procedural idling, and you can just hold the specific person in charge accountable. At this point, you are in the right.

Of course, if you encounter a situation where you report someone, and then immediately afterward, the person you reported calls you, then don't think about anything else—just run. Run to another province before considering anything else.

Discipline Inspection Departments generally have reception rooms for visitors, and the addresses are available on various local websites.

The reception room in Fengxian County was on the first floor, and Zhou Yun quickly found the place.

The first thing to do was to queue up. These places are like petition halls; there are always some people who frequently come, and they must be received, so queuing is necessary.

After scanning his ID card and queuing for about an hour, it was finally his turn.

At this moment, inside the Discipline Inspection reception room, Yan Zirui, the staff member responsible for receiving visitors, was already numb. Or rather, this was the daily routine of their work—daily numbness.

Here, and at the petition hall, you can basically see all sorts of people. Some are indeed legitimately defending their rights, but there are also those who 'persistently petition.'

These people do nothing else; their daily work is petitioning and reporting. The key is that they can't produce any evidence; they say one thing, then another, and what they agree to today they might change tomorrow.

Just now, Yan Zirui and his colleague had just managed to persuade someone to leave with great difficulty.

Soon, as the number was called, Yan Zirui saw a young man walk in and immediately perked up, saying, "Hello, how may I help you?"

While speaking, Yan Zirui looked at the informant's information, then smiled again and said, "Oh, your name is Zhou Yun, right? Real-name reporting. Hey, your name is the same as that famous lawyer from Jinghai, haha."

As he laughed, Yan Zirui suddenly stopped laughing, because the informant in front of him pulled out a document.

"Hello, I should be that famous lawyer from Jinghai you mentioned, but you're giving me too much credit. I'm not some famous lawyer; I'm just an ordinary famous lawyer..."

Yan Zirui looked at the document in a daze. Holy cow, it really was that Zhou Yun!

In an instant, he thought of this Lawyer Zhou's past achievements; it seemed he had almost completely dismantled the education system in a certain area, even bringing back leaders who had been retired for who knows how long to be punished.

Thinking of this, Yan Zirui was no longer sleepy or numb, and he spoke, "So it's Lawyer Zhou! Hello, hello. Lawyer Zhou, what can I do for you?"

Zhou Yun smiled and pulled out the receipt from his previous report about the broken school surveillance cameras, saying, "This matter is quite long; let's start from the beginning."

"My target for reporting is Tian Xiashan, the Principal of Fengxian County No. 5 Middle School. Previously, a criminal case occurred at Fifth High School..."

Zhou Yun briefly explained the situation, highlighting two key points: one was Tian Xiashan's deliberate concealment of the surveillance facts, and the other was the emergence of an evil force gang within the school, and the occurrence of extremely serious incidents like gang rape.

Previously, Tian Xiashan thought that the gang rape didn't happen on school grounds, so it had little to do with the school.

But under Handsome Zhou's determination of an evil force, everything became strongly linked.

This included Guo Zihao's subsequent case, which was also due to the existence of too much campus bullying.

How did they know there was too much bullying? Simple: it was clearly written in the verdict. Just look at how much the Court confirmed!

But what did the school say? The school said it had fulfilled its supervisory responsibilities... This was stated in the defense during the previous civil case.

Although the case's trial was suspended, the trial transcripts could still be obtained. Mr. Zhou always acted meticulously.

Alright, so you fulfilled your educational supervision responsibilities, yet not only did so much campus bullying occur, but there was also such a serious criminal case, and now even an evil force has emerged. Do you still claim your educational supervision was in place?

Come on, come on, I'll give you a chance to rephrase. Was your educational supervision in place or not?

It was in place? Then we need to have a good talk about why, if it was in place, there could still be so much bullying and even the emergence of an evil force gang.

It wasn't in place? If it wasn't in place, doesn't that just prove that your work has serious problems? Come on, explain in detail what problems exist in your work.

To put it bluntly, the moment the Court's verdict came down, Tian Xiashan's political career entered a countdown.

Such a serious problem is far from something he can dismiss by saying responsibility was in place. Someone must be held accountable, and he might not even be able to bear this responsibility; it would be more appropriate for his superior to come.

Looking at the original and copy of the verdict Zhou Yun pulled out, Yan Zirui's scalp started to tingle again.

Unlike the previous people, this person's report letter could almost be used as a template; it truly complied with all regulations.

Look at this evidence: Court verdicts, trial transcripts...

The evidence was clear and precise, and the facts were undeniable, all of which had already been affirmed by the Court.

Could this Lawyer Zhou have a peculiar interest in the education system?

Without a doubt, once this report letter was accepted, the Fengxian County education system was bound to experience an earthquake.

And the key was that it couldn't be kept secret. With Zhou Yun's personality, he would 100% blow it up.

Composing himself, Yan Zirui said, "Lawyer Zhou, we have received your report. I will give you a receipt now. As for anything else, it will need to be decided by the leadership."

Zhou Yun still smiled upon hearing this, "No problem. I'll await your news at any time. Anyway, I'm quite free lately."

After receiving the report receipt, Zhou Yun left the reception room. After carefully considering it, he dialed Principal Tian's number.

There was no need to hide this; he just needed to tell him, to let him know the situation.

When others report, they usually hide it, fearing that the person being reported will know who reported them.

But Zhou Yun was different. After he finished reporting, he would proactively call the other party and say, "Hey, brother, I've already reported you by name. Just wait to be investigated."

He just wanted to see them anxious, frantic, and helpless, no matter who they tried to contact for help.

At this point, let's see who would still have the thought of helping you.

On the other side, at Fengxian County No. 5 Middle School, Tian Xiashan had recently felt his eyelids twitching constantly.

But it should be nothing; the leadership had also discussed it, and even if the video was posted online, it would be fine.

One could only say that information was very important...

Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw it was Zhou Yun calling.

Tian Xiashan immediately answered and smiled, "Hello, Lawyer Zhou, are you preparing to agree not to post the video?"

Zhou Yun's hearty voice came from the phone, "Not at all. It's that the previous case has been judged, and an evil force gang has been identified. Yes, an evil force gang has appeared in your school."

"And I just used that as a reason to report you by name. Uh, just letting you know, after all, every wrong has its source, and every debt its master, right? Just so you know. How about it, aren't you going to thank me?"

"Huh?" Tian Xiashan was instantly stunned.
