Chapter 411: Impossible, Absolutely Impossible!

At this moment, Zhou Yi had a feeling that the halo on his own body was much thicker than that of Wu Qiuling and Fang Xiaoying.

The fitness gym had been open for over two years, nearly three; there had never been any issues before, but now, just one month after he arrived, it had closed down.

Thinking about it this way, it felt like it might be his own doing...

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

And so, Zhou Mouren stood in the crowd with an expression of "I don't know anything" and began looking around.

This Qiji Fitness was located not far from the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, so the customers here were basically all residents of the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter; at this moment, everyone had been at the entrance for quite a while and had already started discussing it.

"Hey, what's going on? Why isn't it open today?"

This was someone more honest and simple-minded, who hadn't yet seen the severity of the problem.

"What do you mean 'not open yet,' this is clearly closed for good, okay!" a Shizi standing to the side roared: "Damn it, I just bought an annual membership, what the hell!"

"Closed?" The more simple-minded one walked to the door, looked inside through the glass, and suddenly realized in hindsight: "The stuff inside seems to be missing a bit!"

There was no need to even say it; everyone had encountered the legendary fitness gym owner running away incident.

Of course, such things are actually not rare nowadays; one could even say they are very common.

Whether it is a high-end chain brand fitness gym or an ordinary fitness gym, there is a risk of them running away.

So what to do now?

Zhou Yi stood in the crowd listening to everyone's discussion; to be honest, sometimes having many people doesn't mean it's useful.

Everyone was here discussing it with great indignation, wishing they could go and beat up that boss, but unfortunately, such talk was of no use at all in solving the problem.

Nearby, a man with his wife and child had already started scolding his wife.

"Look at this, look at this, I told you, don't buy a membership, don't buy a membership, you insisted on buying it, now it's great, we've been scammed comfortably, I'm just curious, what the hell did you come to this gym for, you're really sick!"

Zhou Yi learned from the dissuasion of the people nearby that this man was named Song Ji, and he had always had a very bad temper.

Beside him, Song Ji's wife stood there without saying a word; there was no way to say anything, after all, although everyone had heard a lot about fitness gym owners running away, before actually encountering it, no one would think it would be such a coincidence.

Seeing that everyone was venting their emotions and no one was proposing any useful methods, Zhou Yi couldn't help it anymore.

To tell the truth, his membership only had two months left, but so what if it was two months? Two months is also money!

Zhou Yi still spoke up: "Everyone, let's stop talking about this for now; the important thing now is to confirm what exactly is going on with this gym?"

Song Ji was already furious; he belonged to the type of person who, when encountering a problem, only knows how to get angry.

Hearing this, he shouted directly: "What is there to confirm, they've already run away, how are you going to confirm it? If you're so capable, why didn't you notice it before?"

Zhou Yi: "???"

Although he believed he now had a relevant understanding of human nature, it was still very difficult to understand the thinking of such people.

Everyone here has been scammed, you are there scolding people, I don't think it's necessary; I am planning to solve the problem step by step, and you end up scolding me instead?

Yes, you are in a bad mood and have a big temper, but can you take this temper out on me?

Really, in some relatively large-scale Legal Aid events, whenever someone proposes a method, there will always be some people who jump out and say some inexplicable things.

"This is completely useless," or "They dare to do this, they clearly have connections," or "It's just this little bit of money, what's the point of seeking Legal Aid."

Sometimes you really don't know what they are thinking, as if they weren't the ones who were scammed.

Fortunately, Zhou Mouren still had some rationality and knew that one shouldn't argue now; arguing doesn't solve problems.

So Zhou Yi just said there: "No, what are you saying? We have to go to the Property Management of this building to check first, see if the gym's lease has expired, and what the specific situation is."

"I'm thinking of a solution, if you're so capable, you do it!"

It still carried a bit of emotion, but Zhou Yi tried his best not to get angry.

Song Ji's brows furrowed; because he was burly, tall, and fat, and had tattoos on his arms, usually as long as he roared, no one was willing to bicker with him.

Suddenly, someone actually dared to retort... To him, the sentence "If you're so capable, you do it" was indeed a retort.

Therefore, Song Ji walked over directly, stood beside Zhou Yi, and roared: "What did you say? Come on, say that again, damn it!"

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit wrong, and others nearby began to dissuade them.

A middle-aged woman advised: "Oh, stop arguing, the gym owner has already run away, we need to be united; that young man, don't argue with him, he has a bad temper."

Is unity important? Of course it is very important, but unity is not something that can be achieved just by saying the word "unity" with your mouth.

There must be organization, there must be a leader, there must be a goal; the knowledge involved in this is too deep, an organization can only have one voice, that is the key.

"What does that mean? Just because he has a bad temper, I have to yield to him? What kind of logic is that?" Zhou Yi said straightforwardly.

The middle-aged woman was stunned: "You young man, why are you talking to me like that? I'm helping you; can't you tell the difference between good and bad words?"

Zhou Yi, however, no longer paid attention to her, turning instead to look at Song Ji, who was taller and much stronger than him.

"Say it again, right? Fine, listen up: if you're so capable, you do it!"

I have never heard such a request in my life.

As for that middle-aged woman, perhaps she had no malice in her heart, she was just that kind of person, but... this in itself was even more uncomfortable than having malice.

The Song Ji in front of him seemed to be threatening him; could he take this grievance?

Having learned combat from Fang Dazhuang for such a long time, although he was beaten daily in front of Fang Dazhuang, it was ultimately somewhat effective.

Most importantly, long before he, Zhou Mouren, started speaking, he had already turned on his Sports Camera.

Although he hadn't had a direct confrontation with others for a few months, he would absolutely never forget to leave evidence for such things.

So he wasn't afraid at all, as long as he adhered to one principle: let the other party make the first move.

He must dodge first, but he couldn't run away completely; he had to stay within the other party's reach.

The last point: the strike must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, because there is only one chance; any more, and it might exceed the scope of Legitimate Defense.

An additional point: if one's acting skills are superb, one can also put on a flustered expression during the counterattack.

Look, I wasn't even trying to counterattack; I was scared to death at the time, so I moved around subconsciously and bumped into him.

As for kicking him in the crotch and sending him to the hospital, that's not my fault.

Of course, these were all theoretical knowledge and hadn't been put into practice yet, so there was still a little bit of nervousness.

Song Ji's expression had already turned foul, and he reached out as if to shove someone; Zhou Mouren's heart began to pound wildly, and he wore an expression of extreme nervousness and fear on his face!

Here it comes, here it comes; Lawyer Fang once said that the first time is always very uncomfortable, but once you have experience, you can start to enjoy it.

But just at this moment, the Shizi next to him, who had also been shouting for a long time, stepped forward and grabbed Song Ji.

"What are you doing? Is there anything wrong with what the young man said? You're even going to hit someone, huh? Come, come, come, if you've got the guts, come at me!" Shizi said as he yanked Song Ji away.

This man seemed to be nearly one meter ninety tall, standing there like a wall; one look and you could tell he was a brother who had been training at a gym for many years.

Added to that fierce appearance and his bald head, Song Ji immediately fell silent.

It's still that same saying: truly ruthless people won't get into a shouting match with you, or rather, you only show off what you lack.

Song Ji stood there without a word, and the neighborhood residents watching were all bewildered—what exactly is the situation here? Are you going to fight or not? Say something.

A full half-minute passed just like that, and finally, a voice rang out from behind.

"Let's go, let's go, the child is still here; why are you getting into a fight with others!"

It was Song Ji's wife, who stepped forward and grabbed Song Ji as she spoke.

This action seemed to wake this silent man up; he pointed his finger at Zhou Yi and Shizi again and said, "Don't stop me, I'm going to destroy them both today!"

"Don't pull me, if it weren't for the child being here today... you two just wait!"

And then... and then, Song Ji, who weighed about 180 or 190 jin, was dragged away by his slender-figured wife.

Shizi shook his head and said, "What kind of person is that."

He turned his head, preparing to comfort Zhou Yi, as he had just seen this little brother looking very scared.

As a result, the moment he turned his head, he discovered that this little brother actually had an expression of disappointment on his face.

Shizi rubbed his eyes; he couldn't have seen it wrong, could he? Why would he be disappointed?

"Young man?"

Zhou Mouren's expression management instantly took effect, and he hurriedly adjusted his disappointment back to fear, then said, "What is it, brother?"

Shizi thought to himself, I must have seen it wrong.

"About that solution you mentioned just now, how should we go about it? Should we go to Property Management first to check the lease term?"

Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That's right. Although it looks like they've run off now, we at least have to see if the rent has expired, and then we can decide what to do based on the situation."

This was a way of thinking he had developed after spending a long time with lawyers like Fang Dazhuang and Zhou Xinran.

Things must be done step by step, in an orderly fashion; once you have completed the necessary procedures, it will be much better when you go to the relevant departments later.

If the "almost impossible" phenomenon of being passed around like a ball occurs, you will at least have something to say.

Many people are like headless flies when it comes to this kind of Legal Aid, not knowing what to do, so they seek medical advice blindly and go to every department they can find.

Or they just wait around for the citizen hotline.

It's just that sometimes, if it's classified as an economic dispute, then it's useless no matter which department you go to.

And then no matter which department you go to, it's useless, and you'll feel like you're being passed around like a ball; you see the other party is clearly like this, why aren't you doing anything!

This type of Legal Aid really needs a direction, and once Zhou Yi proposed a method, everyone followed along.

Everyone's emotions were still quite high at the moment, making it easy to mobilize them.

They soon arrived at the building's Property Management; if an individual asked about a shop's lease term, they would rarely tell you.

But when a crowd of people arrived, the building's Property Management couldn't easily refuse.

This could be considered a manifestation of "there is strength in numbers."

"So, actually, the rent for that Qiji Fitness expired last month?" Zhou Yi asked.

Looking at the date, today is April 16th.

That is to say, they were already planning to run off last month and specifically extended operations for half a month; this must have been to keep everyone calm.

"That's right, we are also looking for him here now, not sure what the situation is," the staff member from Property Management said.

Alright, then it's clear: the Fitness Gym Boss really has run off, and it was a premeditated one at that.

"Did any of you add the shop's staff members before?" Zhou Yi asked.

Shizi stood out and said, "I did, I added a coach here before."

"Can you still contact him?"

"I can contact him, but he said he was also owed three months of wages and can't find the boss now either."

Well, that's how it goes when a Fitness Gym Boss runs off.

The others started discussing again.

"Young man, look, what can we do now? We can't find the person."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's fine. Didn't we hear before that he had other branches? We can go to the other shops to ask."

"Besides, for behavior like this, we can actually go to the Market Supervision Bureau to ask, and we can try calling the police too..."

As his voice fell, expressions of hesitation appeared on some people's faces.

Someone spoke up: "Is it that troublesome? But, but what time is it today? Those units must be off work by now, and we have to go to work tomorrow."

"Yeah, that's right. I only have three months left, maybe just forget it."

"How can we forget it? I paid for three years, how can I just forget it!"

"Well, that's your own stupidity. If you paid for three years, you should have gone to find the boss yourself; telling me is useless!"

That's why they say unity is a difficult thing.

Although everyone belongs to the side that was cheated, some were cheated more, and some were cheated less.

Those who were cheated less naturally feel that there is no need for me to go through this trouble with you all; you are definitely more anxious than I am anyway.

And then, once you've finished your Legal Aid, I'll join in.

If we can get it, everyone gets it; if we can't, then just forget it.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "Alright, since everyone is busy, let's just create a group chat, and we can communicate about this matter in the group."

This is still considered good; after all, it is only the first day, and as time passes, everyone will slowly calm down.

The main thing is that everyone has to work and live; it is not worth making things so troublesome for such a small amount of money, isn't it enough to just wait for others to take it seriously?

Furthermore, many people will wonder if this boss has connections.

Actually, if you really think about it, if he had connections, would he still need to do things this way?

People with connections don't earn money like this...
