51: Unfinished building? I like it!

Although Zhou Yun’s video from back then still moves many people, a week later, very few people are actually paying attention to this matter anymore.

Because there are new things on the internet every day, it’s impossible for everyone to only focus on one thing forever.

Netizens always pursue novelty and new trending topics.

However, when Zhou Yun’s video was released, it once again ignited the internet.

In Donghai City, Dong Qiwen still went home after his usual workout, and then he saw a new trending topic on Douyin.

“I just said a few honest words, and he broke down and tried to stab me… What kind of video is this? Wait, was it uploaded by that Zhou Lawyer?”

Without any hesitation, Dong Qiwen quickly clicked on it; he could now be described as a loyal supporter of that Zhou Lawyer.

As he watched, Dong Qiwen was stunned.

Or rather, he had really wanted to know how that Zhou Lawyer collected evidence, after all, the probability of gyms and similar places absconding is too high these days.

They start with a lot of fanfare, but then suddenly they abscond, leaving behind a mess.

And before, there were no detailed reports online, including the previous video which only said that Zhou Lawyer had gone to great lengths to obtain the evidence.

So how exactly was the evidence obtained, and what kind of evidence could be useful?

This is actually the most important part of many rights protection cases.

As for legal basis, to be honest, it's very important, but the law is there for anyone to check.

What kind of evidence is needed, how to collect and organize evidence, how to make these pieces of evidence form a chain of evidence, and how to combine the law with the evidence to prove the relevant facts—this is actually what lawyers rely on for their livelihood.

Similarly, you can't learn these things in school; you have to learn them through years of experience in cases.

Those things people tell you online, based on this law or that law, saying you have this right or that right, just listen to them and forget about it. If you really want to rely on that to fight a lawsuit, you'll find too many difficulties.

What interested Dong Qiwen the most was also this point.

Now he found that he simply couldn't learn this Zhou Lawyer’s method.

“To help protect rights, he actually opened a gym himself? No…”

Dong Qiwen was a bit at a loss for words, especially after seeing what that Zhou Lawyer said at the entrance of the gym. He suddenly understood why Ma Qihua went to the law firm with a knife.

Because, in a sense, he was truly sent in by Zhou Yun himself.

And the key is that Zhou Lawyer made it very clear: what I did has nothing to do with others; it’s just that I personally don’t like you and want to deal with you…

If there hadn't been those subsequent events, Dong Qiwen would probably have thought this person was just trying to create a buzz.

But that Zhou Lawyer is a ruthless person who didn't say a single soft word even with a knife in his chest!

Thousands of words converged into one sentence: Zhou Lawyer is awesome…

Of course, other content in the video also made Dong Qiwen feel like he learned something, although it was difficult to put into practice.

In the comment section, netizens were already exclaiming “666” (meaning awesome).

“I am quite impressed with Zhou Lawyer’s actions.”

“Every time I think Zhou Lawyer’s actions are already genius enough, he always brings more actions that make me go blank. No one can pull off something like opening a gym to fish for evidence!”

“The genius lawyer truly lives up to his name, it’s just quite expensive…”

In the hospital, Zhou Yun also smiled happily as he looked at the netizens’ comments; the meticulously prepared program effect from before was not in vain.

The scene at the gym entrance was truly perfect.

However, with the video of the attack being a masterpiece already, the conflict at the gym entrance was slightly lacking in impact. A miscalculation.

Just like that, Zhou Yun lived a very comfortable life in the hospital; the nurse sisters all took special care of him, and every day was a joyous one.

However, no matter how comfortable it was, he still had to be discharged.

One afternoon, Zhou Yun slowly walked out of the hospital. From now on, he could be bolder when handling cases.

It was already late autumn, and Jinghai finally had a bit of coolness, which was still more comfortable than some places further south.

After thanking the doctors and nurses for their care, Zhou Yun took a taxi home.

His lease was almost up, and Zhou Yun didn't plan to renew it. He wanted to buy a second-hand apartment and move in directly.

This was quite simple; he asked Zhuang Zhenrui for an introduction, and it only took a few days to get the new house sorted out.

It was right next to Zhentian Law Firm, the community name was Tianyue Community, the environment was very good, and the price was very high, so Zhou Yun borrowed a lot of money.

At three in the afternoon, in unit 1601, building 10, Tianyue Community, Zhou Yun looked at his home with a smile on his face. It had been almost half a year since he transmigrated, and he finally had a home.

People in our country have deep feelings for houses. Although the current high prices and unfinished projects of commercial housing have led to mixed feelings for many people.

But sometimes, a house represents a home.

Beside him, a young man smiled and said, “Lawyer Zhou, do you need anything else?”

The young man was Zhuang Zhenrui’s assistant, named Ruan Baiyu, sent by him specifically to help Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun smiled upon hearing this and said, “No problem, Xiao Ruan, thank you for these past few days.”

Ruan Baiyu quickly waved his hand and said, “Lawyer Zhou, what are you saying? It’s my honor to be able to help you. How many people wish they could help but don’t have the chance?”

This flattery was a bit hollow, but don't get me wrong, Zhou Yun actually felt very pleased listening to it.

He also got to experience the thoughts of those in power; even though they knew these people were flattering them, they just liked to hear it.

“Alright then, Xiao Ruan, you can go back first. When I transfer firms, I’ll treat you and the director to a meal.”

Watching Ruan Baiyu leave, Zhou Yun once again looked around. A 140-square-meter apartment felt a bit empty for just him.

However, he had no intention of living with anyone else.

Transmigrating to this world all alone, with no thoughts of a girlfriend, it seemed fine when he thought about it that way.

After all, given his current situation, he might have to do something big any day, so he definitely couldn't have any weaknesses.

Lying on the sofa, Zhou Yun took out his phone and posted an update: Hello everyone, I’ve been discharged from the hospital and will be live streaming tonight. See you all there!

Now that he was out, he definitely had to start working on cases. Good administrative cases were relatively rare, so he had to take his time.

Not long after the update was posted, thousands of replies appeared in the comments.

By now, everyone knew about the situation of this Zhou Lawyer; as long as he could take your case, he would definitely try everything to do it well.

Note: “do it well” not just “finish it.”

In Modu, Zhou Xinyao hadn't paid much attention to online matters recently because she was busy writing her thesis.

As for the internship in Jinghai, the idea was rejected by her parents as soon as it was brought up.

In her parents’ words, this Zhou Yun was currently taking an extreme approach, too radical.

There were some things he didn't need to say, like those words to Ma Qihua earlier; he didn't need to take all the blame upon himself.

So if he continued to do so, he might still encounter trouble.

Therefore, her parents disagreed with her going to be his assistant.

Having no choice, Zhou Xinyao could only content herself with being the top supporter online.

Anyway, as long as Zhou Yun streamed live, she would definitely go to support him!

Time flew by, and in the evening, Zhou Yun started his live stream, and the popularity of the live room immediately exploded.

The comments were scrolling too fast for Zhou Yun to even read them all.

In this situation, he could only randomly select some to interact with.

“Well, I’m fine now, my wound hasn’t fully healed yet, so I need to go for regular dressing changes.”

“If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely do it again. If I can’t stand him, I’ll mess with him!”

“Alright then, let’s start our consultation for today. Let me see, this netizen named ‘Honey Pomelo Tea,’ it’s you.”

“Yes, it’s you. This is a completely free consultation.”

“Come on, tell me what problem you want to consult about.”

At the same time, in Linwu City, Hedong Province, in a rented room, a little girl playing on her phone on the bed was stunned. I was actually chosen?

The little girl’s name was Xi Yueyue, and she was twelve years old this year.

At this moment, she stared at her phone with an excited face. Although she didn't know why she was chosen, she knew that now was the best opportunity.

If this Zhou Lawyer couldn't help, then no one could solve her family's problem.

So she quickly spoke, “Hello, Uncle Zhou…”

Zhou Yun was startled when he heard her, and subconsciously asked, “Little girl, how old are you this year?”

The voice sounded too young.

The other viewers in the live stream were also curiously watching, wondering what kind of case this would be.

Soon, a voice sounded: “My name is Xi Yueyue, and I am twelve years old this year.”

“Oh, you’re twelve.” Zhou Yun smiled and said, “Then Xi Yueyue, at your age, if you don’t have the consent of a guardian, you can’t entrust a lawyer.”

“I have to tell you that in advance, but consultation is definitely not a problem. You can tell me what it’s about first.”

Xi Yueyue then said, “Then, Uncle Zhou, I’ll tell you. My family’s problem is very troublesome, especially troublesome, because my family has been trying to protect their rights for two years with no results.”

Two years of rights protection with no results?

Zhou Yun immediately became interested: “Tell me, little girl, I’m never afraid of trouble.”

Or rather, he wasn't afraid of trouble; he was afraid that the trouble wasn't big enough.

For Zhou Yun, trouble, that thing, the bigger the better. He now gets excited when he hears words like “especially big trouble” or “no hope at all.”

If it could involve administrative agencies, wouldn't that be even more exciting!

Anyway, every time he finished a case for these people, that feeling was truly amazing, plus the system's rewards were like opening a blind box, which made him even more thrilled.

Xi Yueyue didn't know why that Zhou Lawyer sounded so excited, but now was not the time to consider that question.

She quickly explained her family’s trouble in the live stream.

“It should have been four years ago, my family bought a house, and they said it would be delivered in a year.”

“But then it suddenly stopped construction…”

Hearing this, Zhou Yun didn't speak, but the netizens in the live stream became excited.

“Good heavens, an unfinished building, right? Zhou Lawyer dealing with an unfinished building, that sounds exciting just thinking about it!”

“This is indeed a very big problem, no wonder it hasn’t been resolved in two years. It will probably take another twenty years to resolve.”

“I really want to see how those people dare to treat Lawyer Zhou, haha!”

Xi Yueyue continued speaking. Her parents had saved money for many years, and combined with money from the elderly in their family, they paid a down payment of about 500,000 yuan.

The remaining money was taken out as a loan, and everything went smoothly.

But then, the house became an unfinished project; after construction stopped, there was no more movement, and the sales office was empty.

“Uncle, my parents are fighting every day over this house, talking about divorce. What should I do, Uncle? I don’t want them to fight, I don’t want them to divorce…”

By the end, the little girl was crying uncontrollably. It was clear that she had been trying to hold back at first, but couldn't hold back anymore.

Zhou Yun listened quietly. An unfinished building, once encountered, can basically be said to directly destroy many people's lives.

In his previous life, he had encountered one. There was an old man, very old, who still worked desperately.

Why? Because he had saved money his whole life to buy a house, but the house became an unfinished project.

It was originally meant to be a wedding house, but it was gone. His son and daughter-in-law kept fighting about divorce, because even though the house was unfinished, you still had to pay the mortgage.

The poor old man had to work desperately at his age, and when he spoke to the camera during an interview, he cried so much he couldn't speak. It was truly tragic.

Listening to the little girl crying uncontrollably, Zhou Yun said, “Xi Yueyue, right? Don’t cry first. You said your family has been trying to protect their rights for more than two years with no results. How did you try to protect your rights?”

Xi Yueyue stopped her tears and said a few words, but she didn’t explain very clearly.

Zhou Yun spoke again, “Then how about this? See if your parents are home, and let them speak. After all, only when I know the specific situation can I try to figure out how to solve this problem.”

Hearing this, some viewers in the live stream immediately couldn't hold back.

“Solve it? Although Zhou Lawyer is amazing, to be honest, how do you solve something like this?”

“Yeah, it’s a very realistic problem. No money, can’t contact the developer, how else can it be solved?”

“Did Zhou Lawyer get a bit overconfident after being stabbed?”

Zhou Yun directly chose to ignore such comments. In his previous life, that would have been it, but in this life, with the system, he definitely wanted to give it a try.

Here, Xi Yueyue quickly took her phone and went to call her parents.

“Mom, Mom, come quickly, this Zhou Lawyer online says he can help us!”

Xi Yueyue’s mother, a woman in her thirties, looked very pale.

When a person has something on their mind that they can't resolve, they will keep thinking about it, and in such a situation, their body can easily have problems.

Hearing Xi Yueyue’s words, her mother, Wen Yuhe, immediately shouted, “Help what, huh? Help what? Don’t you know all these lawyers are just swindlers?”

“Didn’t we hire a lawyer back then? All that money we spent was useless! Still helping us? Go to sleep quickly, if you keep playing on your phone, I’ll hit you, hear me?!”

Wen Yuhe’s current thought was simple: she didn't want to bother anymore.

Two years of rights protection, countless attempts, a lot of money spent, but nothing worked.

Now seeing her child looking for some lawyer online, her first reaction was that it was a scam, unreliable.

Xi Yueyue felt a bit wronged upon hearing this, but still said, “But, but this Lawyer Zhou Yun is very famous online.”

“Ah?” Wen Yuhe was startled upon hearing this. She usually scrolled on Douyin too, so she had naturally come across Zhou Yun, after all, that video was too explosive, and the platform would actively promote it to more people for publicity.

“Who? Zhou Yun? The lawyer who was stabbed a while ago?”

Xi Yueyue nodded, “Yes, yes, yes, that lawyer! He’s live streaming consultations, it’s free! Mom, just talk to him…”

However, before Xi Yueyue could finish her sentence, she saw her mother had already taken the phone and started talking.

No… Mom, didn’t you say all these lawyers are scammers?
