Chapter 34: No Wonder, It Really Is Difficult!

Jokes aside and banter aside, Zhou Yi naturally wouldn't truly say anything to Lawyer Fang regarding the Lawyer Fee.

That person had already helped him fight a lawsuit for free once before, and this time, the system was paying for everything.

"Lawyer Fang, let's do as you said. I'll send you all the evidence I've recorded right now, let's file the Lawsuit as soon as possible!" Zhou Yi said.

Lawyer Fang nodded: "Small matter, I'll organize it when I get back."

"However, how much of a chance we have to win the specific case depends on me going back and reviewing your evidence. After all, this isn't that labor dispute of yours; it's actually difficult to form an Evidence Chain for this kind of case, so you should prepare yourself mentally first."

"Also, if you want the other party to pay compensation, you have to go to the hospital and get a medical report for something like neurasthenia. Of course, it would be perfect if you had a medical report from before you moved into that house, but I suspect you don't..."

Now it was Zhou Yi's turn to be dumbfounded: "Lawyer Fang, I already have videos of them disturbing the peace there, why is that not enough? And why do I have to suffer from neurasthenia to get compensation?"

Lawyer Fang nodded; although he was a professional, he couldn't conjure up laws out of thin air.

The law has specific defined standards for living noise—how many decibels during the day, how many at night—only when it exceeds those is it considered disturbing the peace.

And it's not just a matter of holding a phone and recording a video; you need professional equipment to take measurements.

There is also another point: you need to prove that the noise is coming from upstairs and not from somewhere else. However, Lawyer Fang was confident about this, because the sound of rubber balls and glass marbles is different from other sounds.

"So, Zhou Yi, do you understand now why almost no one files a Lawsuit for this kind of case? Because 'difficulty in gathering evidence' isn't just a figure of speech, you know!" Lawyer Fang laughed.

"And even if we win and make the other party stop the infringement, enforcement is very difficult. What if they stop the noise for a moment, but then it starts again after a while? Keep filing Lawsuits?"

Considering all these difficulties, even though he was an extremely fastidious person, he was still very impressed by Zhou Yi!

Ah, this... Zhou Yi opened his mouth wide. Sure enough, this kind of thing is truly difficult. When you encounter such things in life, there are really only two ways: either fight back or move.

But he, Zhou Yi, is a cheater now. Professional measuring equipment? Bought. And the proof of neurasthenia? Go get it. It's not a mental health certificate, and he really hasn't been sleeping well lately, so something is indeed wrong.

As for the difficulty of enforcement... no wonder the system said it wanted him to rent out all the surrounding houses to prepare a harmonious and comfortable living environment for the neighbors. So that's what it was.

He had previously thought that between filing Lawsuits and taking revenge, what if the other party came back and sued him? Now that he thinks about it, this is really just like recharging a million dollars on a whim; no one would actually do that.

"Lawyer Fang, you don't need to worry about the enforcement issue. I'll go buy the measuring instrument later. Given the situation today, I reckon that family will definitely commit the offense again tonight."

"So I will definitely be able to collect perfect evidence tonight. You don't need to worry about the rest."

"My demands are: make the other party pay some money, issue a formal apology, and stop disturbing the peace!"

It really was for real. Lawyer Fang nodded: "That's no problem. I've never fought a case like this before either, it's quite interesting!"

After a pause, Lawyer Fang added: "Zhou Yi, I really didn't misjudge you. From the first time I saw you, I knew you were my soulmate, a true soulmate..."

Of course he's a soulmate. How long has it been, and how many cases have there been... definitely a soulmate!

The conversation ended while Zhou Yi was still in a daze, and both parties went their separate ways.

Leaving the lawsuit matters to Lawyer Fang is fine; he is a qualified tool man.

And what he needs to do now involves a few things: buy professional measuring equipment, get a neurasthenia certificate, and prepare how to get Liu Nainai and those families to move out for a while.

The measuring instrument and the neurasthenia certificate are easy to handle, but the house-renting matter needs careful consideration.

Yuefu Residential Quarter has two households per floor, so his unit has three floors, which means six households. Excluding himself and the family upstairs, that leaves four households.

According to Liu Nainai, the neighbors in this building are mostly elderly, so if you want them to move out, you must first find a good place for them to stay!

Otherwise, why would they rent a house for you for no reason?

But this is also easy to handle. He can talk to Liu Nainai first to see what she thinks, such as places she wants to visit, or if there's nowhere in particular, a luxury hotel would also work.

And he can give them money; after all, the system gave him so much, and it should give him more once he spends it.

Then he can have Liu Nainai take him to meet the neighbors and chat with everyone.

In short, the goal is to get these neighbors to happily move out and live somewhere else for a while—at least for a month. Zhou Yi doesn't think any family could endure a month of this.

If a month isn't enough, then another month. Sorry, the power of money is just that willful!

Seeing that it was already noon, he casually ate a bowl of soybean paste noodles and immediately started working.

He first went to buy a new phone, as the screen of his previous one was shattered and he had given it to Lawyer Fang as evidence, and then he went to take care of other matters.

About three hours later, the measuring instrument and the neurasthenia certificate were ready. Zhou Yi could truly prove this; he had indeed been a bit neurasthenic lately...

He didn't know if it was because there had been too many things happening recently that he couldn't quite handle.

Taking everything home, he set up the most expensive measuring instrument he could buy in Jingzhou according to the manual, then went out and headed upstairs, carrying some gifts like fruit and milk, ready to have a chat with Liu Nainai.

As the old saying goes, you can't go wrong with gifts.

Liu Nainai was indeed very warm to him, and she was a very kind person, but this wasn't capital for him, Zhou Yi, to do whatever he wanted.

After all, making people move out when they are living perfectly well requires a proper approach, even if you are throwing money at it. He, Zhou Yi, still plans to continue living here in the future.

Carrying the gifts, he went upstairs and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened.

Liu Nainai stood at the doorway, looking at Zhou Yi, who was carrying a pile of things, and asked with some confusion: "Little Zhou, this is..."

"Grandma, I had an argument with that family late last night, and it affected your rest, didn't it? So I thought I'd come to see you today and offer you an apology." Zhou Yi smiled.

Giving gifts is certainly an art. Zhou Yi hasn't eaten pork, but he's seen pigs run. It's definitely not good to give gifts for no reason, but if you say it's for this or that reason, it sounds much better on the surface.

Just like many people giving gifts, they always emphasize repeatedly: "This isn't for you, it's for your sister-in-law/nephew/sister-in-law! Who said this was for you!"

Liu Nainai immediately waved her hand: "Oh, Little Zhou, it's fine, no need, no need. You should take it back. You young people are just too spendthrift..."

As she spoke, Zhou Yi had already squeezed through the door, placed the things in a corner, and smiled: "It's fine, Liu Nainai. Actually, I have something I need your help with!"
