223: How could Zhou Yun have this thing!

At the Changhua District Court, Judge Jiang Yurong, who was handling the case, had just finished a hearing and was now resting in her office.

Her phone rang, and she immediately answered, "Lawyer Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yun had left his contact information specifically when he obtained the investigation order earlier.

Zhou Yun's voice came from the phone: "Judge Jiang, I came to Langxin Company to retrieve the contract, but they are now refusing the investigation order. Their general manager said he just won't allow the investigation, claiming there's no cooperative relationship between the two parties, so there's no way to investigate."

"I told them I'd call the Court, and they said to go ahead. You see, Judge Jiang, I'm at my wit's end now."

Jiang Yurong quickly said, "Lawyer Zhou, please hand the phone to their general manager. I'll speak with them."

At Langxin Company, Zhou Yun returned to the office and handed over the phone: "Feng, Judge Jiang from the Changhua District Court wants to speak with you."

Feng Chenfeng took the phone with a gloomy face and said, "Hello, Judge Jiang, is that right? The investigation order issued by your Court is a bit too inexplicable, isn't it? Ah, out of nowhere, you want to investigate our contract with Lixia Company."

"I don't even know such a company exists, yet you inexplicably want to investigate. How can I investigate? There's simply no contract."

Jiang Yurong heard this and said, "Feng, since we issued this investigation order, it means we have evidence. We have already mailed you the duplicate of the complaint and relevant evidence, and by now, it should be arriving soon."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can review those materials later. For now, please cooperate with the investigation order. If you insist there is no contract, you can note the situation on the investigation receipt with Lawyer Zhou."

A Court investigation order is not meant to make things difficult for people. If there truly isn't something, they can't produce it, and that's simple. We've already discussed the specifics of the investigation order; just note it on the receipt, and no one will make things difficult for you.

However, we must say here, you can follow your own thoughts regarding the investigation order, but if it's later discovered that there was indeed cooperation between you, then you'll face consequences.

What is this called? This is called resisting a Court investigation, because if a lawyer's investigation order is issued in accordance with regulations, it is basically equivalent to a Court investigation.

Vulnerable groups like Banks have been fined many times for resisting investigation orders, and to this day, they still comply obediently.

Just as Feng Chenfeng was about to say something, Jiang Yurong on the other end added, "However, Feng, I must remind you again, if it is later found that there was indeed cooperation between your company and Lixia Company, then this will be considered resisting a Court investigation."

"At that time, the Court will be obliged to impose a penalty on you."

Upon hearing this, Feng Chenfeng's expression immediately became uncertain. After much hesitation, he said, "Judge Jiang, well, I didn't personally handle this aspect, so I might have remembered incorrectly."

"Please wait a moment, can I have the company's legal department check it?"

Jiang Yurong smiled and said, "Of course, you can. Please communicate well with Lawyer Zhou. Lawyer Zhou is not an unreasonable person."

"Alright then, I'll hang up now."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yurong also shook her head. These companies, one by one, play their little tricks so skillfully, do they really think others don't know?

When Zhou Yun obtained that contract from Lixia Company, it was destined that they could no longer hide it. Even a fool could see it: Lixia was the contractor, so how did you become the actual operator now?

You say there's no relationship between you and Lixia Company? Are you trying to fool a fool? If there's no relationship, how did the business end up in your hands? In this day and age, everything is exposed when people take it seriously.

The reason they gave was also a bit absurd. You could have just said it was a trade secret. To directly say there was nothing, do you really think others know nothing at all?

Feng Chenfeng hung up the phone, then handed it back to Zhou Yun, who was waiting outside, and forced a smile: "Lawyer Zhou, please wait a moment, okay? I'll find it quickly."

Zhou Yun also smiled and said, "No problem, Feng. Take your time, I'm not in a hurry. I can wait here all day."

Feng Chenfeng returned upstairs. He planned to call and inquire about the situation. Although he was the legal representative and general manager of Langxin Company, strictly speaking, he was not the actual controller of Langxin Company; he only held a small percentage of shares.

On the other hand, President Pan from Lixia Company was the actual controller of Langxin Company.

The call quickly connected, and Feng Chenfeng began, "President Pan, you remember Duan Liwei, don't you? His family has hired a lawyer again, and it's Zhou Yun from Jinghai!"

In another district of Anping City, inside Lixia Company, the man called President Pan heard this and said, "Zhou Yun from Jinghai? Would someone like him still handle such a case?"

Perhaps Mr. Zhou had handled too many criminal cases, or perhaps he habitually used criminal thinking to solve any problem he encountered, to the extent that many people overlooked one thing: Zhou Yun's first case when he started his career was a labor dispute.

It's just that he didn't see it through to the end, but rather resolved it by putting pressure on a third-party company.

Therefore, now when many people hear Zhou Yun's name, their first reaction is that he handles criminal cases, wrongful convictions, and cases that might be life-threatening.

Feng Chenfeng heard this and said, "President Pan, it can now be confirmed that it is indeed Zhou Yun. He has already applied for an investigation order to investigate the contract between Langxin Company and Lixia Company!"

President Pan's face was originally expressionless, but upon hearing this, his expression immediately changed, and he asked the same question: "Zhou Yun is investigating this? How did he know there was cooperation between the two companies?"

"President Pan, I'm not entirely clear about this right now. The key is that the Court issued an investigation order, and this definitely..."

Mid-sentence, an assistant came in: "Feng, the post office just delivered a package from the Changhua District Court. It contains a duplicate of the complaint and evidence. Please take a look."

"The legal department said there's a contract inside, it's a subcontracting agreement between Lixia Company and Capital Hongquan Company!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Chenfeng was stunned. He ignored the phone call and quickly grabbed the materials. Indeed, it was the subcontracting agreement that Lixia Company had previously signed with Hongquan Company.

After seeing this contract, Feng Chenfeng was immediately dumbfounded, muttering, "How could Zhou Yun have this contract...?"

The fact that this thing appeared in Zhou Yun's hands at this point in time is simply outrageous!

Normally, you'd have to remove the obstacles step by step, like fighting monsters, before you could finally face the ultimate boss. This is the meaning of a legal moat.

One point to clarify is that a legal moat cannot completely block the other party's lawsuit. That is to say, no matter how many obstacles you set up, the other party can still find your actual controller by proceeding step by step, even if it takes a long time.

But the problem lies in the cost. For such a complex case, whether it's hiring a lawyer or anything else, the cost will definitely not be low.

Therefore, the significance of a legal moat lies in cost control. Think about it, for a normal labor dispute, even if you win, how much money is it? Those riders wouldn't normally go to Court.

Even if they wanted to sue, with such complex procedures and such a lengthy process, how much would the lawyer fees be? Although the case's value is small, it's too complicated.

An ordinary lawyer cannot handle such a case.

In such circumstances, it will force the other party to abandon the lawsuit because your rights protection might very likely be more trouble than it's worth.

This time, however, he encountered Zhou Yun. He didn't follow the usual steps, but rather "shook the head to reveal the whole body." No matter how complex, the business must have been obtained from Hongquan.

President Pan on the other end grew anxious, repeatedly asking, "What's wrong? What's going on, Old Feng? What contract are you talking about?"

Finally, Feng Chenfeng spoke: "President Pan, it's the subcontracting agreement between Lixia Company and Hongquan Company. I can't understand how Zhou Yun got his hands on this. It couldn't have been Hongquan Company that gave it to him, could it?"

That would be too outrageous. Hongquan Company is the boss!

"What?" President Pan on the other end was also dumbfounded: "Zhou Yun didn't contact you after taking over the case, did he? How did he get it?"

Feng Chenfeng quickly said, "President Pan, we don't have time to talk about that now. Zhou Yun is still waiting downstairs. Now that he has this contract, how can I refuse? I can't refuse."

He finally understood the meaning of the Judge's words. Although she couldn't speak freely due to her position, the meaning was very clear.

The Court had a reason for issuing the investigation order. With that contract, it could basically be confirmed that there was definitely a relationship between the two sides.

President Pan also had no choice and said, "Give it to him, give it to him for now, otherwise the Court won't let it go..."
