Chapter 21: Report Me Then, I'm Tired

~10 min read 1,846 words

A certain Mr. Lu once said that when it comes to arguing, the combat effectiveness of middle-aged women is generally in a league of its own.

And now, bolstered by the thought of "doing it for the child," Zhou Chun's combat effectiveness climbed directly to its peak in a very short amount of time!

The core of the topic was singular: how could the Zhou Yi across from them be so vicious? Their child, perfectly fine, was about to go to jail.

At this moment, there were quite a few people waiting at the entrance of the Court, so it wasn't long before many gathered around to watch the spectacle.

Do not misunderstand; the habit of watching a spectacle is actually the same all over the world. It should be said that humans, as a species, are much the same at certain times.

As more and more people gathered around, Zhou Chun's momentum grew stronger and stronger!

"Everyone, you tell me, just because of that little thing on the internet, retrieving some game account, this person reported it to the police to make my son go to jail. He just got into a good university, it's all ruined!"

"We two old folks raised him from a child with such difficulty, and now all our hopes are gone. We wanted this person to issue a Letter of Forgiveness, but he won't even show his face!"

"You tell me, tell me, how did our little Liu Xu offend you to make you act like this? I'm telling you, heaven is watching what people do; you acting like this will bring retribution!"

Zhou Chun shouted with spit flying everywhere, as if wanting to vent all the negative emotions—the pressure and the cold shoulders encountered over this period—entirely onto Zhou Yi.

However, Zhou Yi finally figured out the other party's identity. This familiar tone must be the parents of that retriever named Liu Xu, who had called him before.

In all fairness, Zhou Yi truly did not consider himself a bad person; he just felt that in all things, one must be reasonable!

I bought an account fair and square, put all kinds of effort into managing it, and you retrieve it in a matter of minutes?

I try to contact you, and not only do you not answer the phone, you block me directly. Is this what you call being reasonable?

Why does it feel like I'm the one who did something wrong now!

On the other side, Lao Wang had no expression on his face, as if he were already used to it.

Before bringing these two here, he already knew what would happen.

Originally, he had even advised them to speak properly when the time came, but this was the result...

It was fortunate that Lao Wang had been in the profession for over twenty years and had seen all kinds of clients; he could still handle this.

In a case he encountered before, it was clearly their family member who had driven drunk and hit someone, and they also wanted the other party to issue a Letter of Forgiveness. The result was just like this—they would always act as if the other party not issuing a Letter of Forgiveness was like committing some grave sin!

Damn it! This was clearly their fault. If it weren't for Lao Wang feeling that his temper had grown, he would have been gone long ago.

It's just that Lao Wang truly didn't understand why there were such muddle-headed people in this world, and why they would always act as if "the whole world owes them."

Are you sure you are saving your son by acting like this? Why does it feel like you are selling your son!

It's a case of "motherly kindness and filial piety," for sure.

At this moment, a cigarette had already found its way into Lao Wang's mouth, and just as he was wondering, he turned his head to see that Fang Dazhuang had already pulled out a lighter.

He lit it, took a deep drag, and Lao Wang felt his body and mind calm down.

"You still take on such crappy cases?"

"Sigh, who told them to pay so much..."

After Zhou Yi realized what was happening, he couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind and immediately started walking away.

As a result, the couple Zhou Chun and her husband got anxious the moment they saw this, and Liu Jianguo came up and grabbed Zhou Yi.

"Don't you leave! I'm telling you, if there's no result today, you aren't going anywhere!"

Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to be stunned; he grabbed Liu Jianguo's arm: "What are you doing? You want to get physical?"

After all, the person opposite was a young man, and Liu Jianguo was scared into taking a step back, but he still said: "No, you can't leave. There must be an explanation for my child's matter today!"

"An explanation?" Zhou Yi looked at the people around him, then turned to the Liu Jianguo in front of him: "You want an explanation from me?"

"Your son committed a crime. Do you know what a crime is? Do I need to explain it to you? Why act this way if you knew it would come to this? You want me to issue a Letter of Forgiveness—is this how you beg for help?"

"And 'heaven is watching what people do'? I'll say it: your son did that thing, so he shouldn't be afraid of jail. Besides, why does it feel like if I don't issue a Letter of Forgiveness, I should be executed by firing squad?"

"I'll tell you right now: I will not forgive. I am not forgiving now, and I won't forgive in the future. How about that, is that clear enough?"

"I need to go into the Court for business now. If you block me again, I will call the police. Don't you go pulling and tugging at me; I'm telling you, I have a congenital heart condition. If I end up lying here today because of you, then you can go see your son."

After saying this, Zhou Yi walked away. Sure enough, only such a family could raise such a child.

Seeing the way these parents were, Zhou Yi even felt they didn't know how to be parents at all!

Because they themselves had too many problems as people.

It is a pity that in this world, the profession of "parent" is the only one with no internship and no resignation...

When Zhou Yi left this time, the Liu Jianguo couple didn't dare to make a move, but Zhou Chun was a bit strange—why didn't the people around them help her after hearing what she said?

You have to know, in Qingshan County, if there was really something going on, many people would help speak up. After all, the child had just started university, a bright future; it would be a real pity if it were delayed because of this little thing.

Therefore, Zhou Chun couldn't help but say to a middle-aged woman nearby: "You tell me, he's going to make my child go to jail and he still won't issue a Letter of Forgiveness. Is there such a person? I even said I would pay money."

However, the middle-aged woman nearby chuckled: "What kind of talk is that? Your son going to jail was judged by the state; what does that have to do with the young man? As for the Letter of Forgiveness, didn't you hear? He isn't forgiving!"

After finishing, the middle-aged woman also turned and left. What kind of people are these?

Liu Jianguo and Zhou Chun stood there, completely stunned.

They had originally thought to rely on the moral kidnapping of the surrounding people to make Zhou Yi agree, but they didn't expect that the people around them wouldn't side with them at all, and instead started pointing out their faults.

Why on earth was this!

Although, at the time, the Liu Jianguo couple forgot one thing: this was the entrance to the Court. Those waiting here were either people who understood the law or people who wanted to use the law to protect their own rights and interests...

At this time, they were the most reasonable of all!

"Lawyer Wang, Lawyer Wang, are you just going to watch? You tell me, what should I do about my son? You said it clearly at the beginning, you said you could..."

Lao Wang, who hadn't even finished his cigarette, was fired upon again. Many of his peers nearby looked over.

Lao Wang, however, finished his cigarette in a leisurely manner before saying: "Stop right there, Teacher Zhou. I didn't say it clearly at the beginning; I only said I would do my best. And today, it was you who didn't trust me, so you wanted to talk to the other party yourselves. Now, isn't that talk finished?"

It was finished, and the talk was over.

"No, Lawyer Wang, how can you be like this? We paid to hire you. If you aren't going to do anything, we are going to report you to the Lawyers Association..."

Lao Wang spoke again: "Stop. You two, I think we should terminate our contract. My temple is small and cannot accommodate you two great Bodhisattvas. You two should find someone else."

"By the way, I will bear the Breach of Contract Liability. I won't be short a single cent of what is owed; everything will be according to the contract. I will wire the compensation as soon as I get back, along with all my files. Believe me, I am a professional."

After saying this, Lao Wang also turned and left, without the slightest bit of hesitation.

It was his mistake; next time he encountered something like this, even if they offered him more, he, Lao Wang, would absolutely not be tempted!

And now, it was whatever it was; they kept going on and on about reporting him, so let them report him, he was tired.

Zhou Chun and Liu Jianguo were stunned once again upon hearing this; Liu Jianguo opened his mouth but still couldn't say a word, and could only watch as Lao Wang left in such a dashing manner.

Although it was summer, at this moment, the couple Liu Jianguo and his wife suddenly felt a chill on their bodies...

General Manager Sun used a great deal of effort to pull himself out of that state of watching the spectacle; he suddenly felt that this young man named Zhou Yi was quite tough...

It seemed that today's Mediation would absolutely not be very smooth...

The update is here; I got off work a bit late, but good food is worth the wait, right? Even a donkey on a production team needs to rest a little, right? Thanks to the brothers Purple Valley Many Affections Empty Sorrow, Dongdong Qia, Ten Thousand Songs Strange People, Wandering Big Cannon, Sly Earth, 2017, Fog Bell, Rain Water, and Thousand Youyue for their tips, thank you.
