Chapter 413: Anyway, I Don't Know Anything!

To be reasonable, Chen Li has been handling police reports here for such a long time that she has encountered people making scenes, people arguing, and some who even dared to resort to violence right here!

After spending a lot of time at the Police Station, she sees outrageous things every day.

Actually, in a sense, the people in there really speak "eloquently"; once everyone tells their experience, it's all a story.

It's just a pity that the Zhou Mouren who doesn't work has now become a co-founder of an electric vehicle company, which is heartbreaking; he probably went to serve as a safety consultant...

However, Chen Li had never seen someone so calm, who even snatched her lines away!

Do they not even need the Police Station to help with mediation?

Although strictly speaking according to procedure, they really don't need to manage economic disputes, the work that should be done still has to be done, but now the other party actually refused directly!

At this moment, Chen Li had a feeling: if only every person who came to report a crime could be as sensible as this young man.

But while feeling physically relaxed, a new thought sprouted in her mind: why didn't he need our mediation...

As soon as this thought emerged, Chen Li wanted to slap herself; isn't this sick, thinking about this.

People are just like this; when doing mediation in the past, she always hoped for it to be a bit easier, and now that someone finally doesn't need it, she starts thinking about other things...

It's just that her status isn't quite appropriate, otherwise she really wanted to ask: Brother, you come here often, right?

"Well... this definitely cannot be filed as a case for the time being; the Notice of Non-filing, right, that will need some waiting," Chen Li could only say hurriedly.

While speaking, she kept watching Zhou Yi's reaction, wanting to know if he was being genuine or just putting on an act.

As it turned out, he really was that calm, that natural.

"That's no problem, tomorrow is fine too, as long as I have this document, then I'll be heading off now," Zhou Yi said, standing up directly.

He was leaving just like that?

The Shizi and the others behind him wanted to say something but didn't dare to, and they had already agreed when they arrived that this little brother would handle everything.

Seeing that Zhou Yi was really about to turn and leave, Chen Li hurriedly said: "Wait, you all wait a moment, we still need to register your identity information."

Even if issuing a Notification Letter, there must be things like identity information, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to notify them.

"Me? My name is Zhou Yi."

Zhou Yi... this name sounds so familiar, Chen Li's brows furrowed.

Holy crap!

The next second she almost shouted out; isn't this the Zhou Yi who, within just one year, worked the police officers at the neighboring Police Station into the hospital five times!

The first case he reported became a "star" in the Jingzhou Legal System, not to mention the series of events that followed, which made the leaders of the neighboring Police Station pained yet happy.

He really has been famous for a long time!

"You are Zhou Yi?" Chen Li asked back.

This exclamation made Shizi almost shout out words like, "Government, I confess, I don't know him"...

"Ah, I am Zhou Yi, do you know me?" a certain handsome guy asked there.

Chen Li said with a complex expression: "Of course I know you; who in the entire Jingzhou Legal System doesn't know you? I hear that even in the two high courts, there are many people who know you now..."

Pausing, Chen Li added: "Since it's you, then I understand; you can go back first."

This all makes sense now, because he is truly going to be serious and follow the legal procedures step by step, so he really doesn't care about any mediation.

To put it in one sentence: why would I need mediation? If I can win just by finishing the procedure, why go through all this trouble?

Walking out of the Guangming Road Police Station, Shizi patted his chest and said with lingering fear: "Little brother, are you that famous in the Legal System? Does everyone in Jingzhou's legal field know you?"

"You in the past... this is... what's going on?"

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at Shizi, smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just let some police comrades, some judge comrades, and a few prosecutor comrades end up in the hospital, that's all..."

Holy crap! Everyone covered their mouths in unison.

"Don't misunderstand, it's because they were too tired and went to the hospital."

Shizi: "..." Saying it like that makes me feel even more terrified.

To be able to make some police, some prosecutors, and some judges all tired enough to go to the hospital, what on earth did he do!

Zhou Yi was also joking; after that, he went to the next stop. He had already prepared the necessary things according to Huo Pengfei's instructions.

For example, their ID cards, the payment vouchers from that time, the business license photographed through the glass door, as well as the contract from that time, and so on.

And there was also the evidence of the gym closing down:

First, the photo of the closed door; second, the proof of rent expiration obtained from Property Management; third, the chat history with the gym staff.

The Guangming District Market Supervision Administration, another place Zhou Mouren is very familiar with.

It's just that compared to places like the Police Station and the Court, other agencies similar to market supervision, taxation, fire, etc., are not that familiar yet.

Zhou Yi thinks he should work hard and strive to make everyone know him...

The receptionist was someone he hadn't seen before, a young guy.

They had seen many similar problems here, so they quickly had a way to handle it.

"Do I still need to wait?" Zhou Yi asked.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou. According to regulations, we need to conduct an investigation before making a decision on whether to include them in the List of Abnormal Operations. However, it shouldn't take very long. During this period, you don't need to worry about their Company canceling their registration privately."

Zhou Yi nodded; that was no problem. He was just worried that the Company would suddenly cancel its registration.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Could you help us check if this Company has changed its legal representative in the last six months?" Zhou Yi asked again.

This can certainly be checked; in fact, this information about enterprises is public, and you can find it if you want to check.

This relates to whether the other party used a similar tactic.

"Let me see, hmm, found it. Qiji Limited Liability Company, the legal representative was changed four months ago, with Lü Yan transferring the shares to the current boss, named Zhao Zhipeng."

As soon as the words fell, Shizi on the side spoke up: "Yes, yes, yes, now that you mention it, I remember, when I bought the gym membership, that boss was named Lü Yan."

Looking again at the name on the current business license: Zhao Zhipeng.

The worst-case scenario had happened.

Qiji Limited Liability Company is a one-person Limited Liability Company, which is a completely different thing from what we call a sole proprietorship.

Although it is a single-person limited company, it is still a Limited Liability Company and subject to Company Law, whereas a sole proprietorship does not have the status of a legal person and cannot be called a company.

A single-person Limited Liability Company will only bear joint and several liability for company debts if it cannot be proven that personal assets are independent of company assets.

Zhou Yi had at least taken over Tenda back then, and Tenda was a single-person Limited Liability Company.

Therefore, in his daily life, he keeps his personal assets and company assets clearly separated, and he is also very clear about the regulations in this regard.

But this is truly outrageous!

This is not a Police Station, so Shizi is no longer afraid; he steps forward and asks, "Hey comrade, can you see if you can help us contact the current boss?"

After all, this man has also sought Legal Aid before; long-term illness makes one a good doctor, and he knows a little bit—at the very least, from a legal procedural standpoint, it seems they cannot reach the previous boss, Lü Yan.

The only person they can find is the current boss, this person named Zhao Zhipeng!

Personal information naturally includes phone numbers, which are required during registration and are likewise public, so they can all be looked up.

However, the staff member says, "Of course I can help contact them, but you need to be prepared for other outcomes, as we have no way to handle this here."

The other party has followed the procedures to complete everything; even if you know clearly that he has issues, you still need to use legal methods to make him pay this money.

Soon, the staff member dials the phone number of Zhao Zhipeng of Qiji Limited Liability Company; it rings a few times, and it actually connects!

"Hello, who is this?" A male voice with a thick Jingzhou local accent rings out.

"Hello, I am from the Guangming District Market Supervision Bureau. Are you Zhao Zhipeng, the legal representative of Qiji Limited Liability Company?"

"It's me, what's the matter? Is there something going on?"

"Regarding the Qiji Fitness in your company, the one in Guangming Peak Building, customers have reported that it has closed. What is the situation?" The staff member continues to ask.

"What situation? Renovation. The store is under renovation and it will take some time. During this period, their memberships are paused, and they can continue using them once the renovation is finished," Zhao Zhipeng replies on the other end of the phone without hesitation.

Zhou Yi shakes his head; this is clearly prepared.

He is the legal representative of this company and should be clear in his heart; it is impossible for him to run away just because he is a scapegoat—that really wouldn't be the case.

So, the person is methodical and not worried about them at all.

"But some of the equipment in your store has already been moved away, and the rent has expired, you know! What are you pretending for!" Shizi cannot help but step forward and shout.

"Who are you? Why are you yelling? I said it's renovation, so isn't it normal to move the equipment away temporarily?"

"What rent or no rent? I don't know about that."

Shizi is truly almost blown up with anger, but he is helpless.

The staff member says in a deep voice, "Zhao Zhipeng, I am asking you now: according to the evidence these customers have obtained, your gym's rent expired last month and was not renewed, and even the staff have left, and their wages are in arrears."

"How do you explain these?"

"Furthermore, even if the gym needs renovation, according to your contracts, you should have found a temporary venue for these customers and notified them in advance, instead of closing suddenly now!"

Zhao Zhipeng on the other end of the phone is silent for a moment, then continues, "I don't know about any of these things you mentioned. I only know that our gym is going to be renovated. They can say whatever they want."

"I have things to do now, hanging up."

The call ends, and a busy signal comes from the phone.

The staff member says with some helplessness, "Currently, we really don't have a good way to handle this. Listing this company in the directory of abnormal operations so that the legal representative's credit is affected is the only method we can take."

"After all, this counts as an economic dispute, so you can only choose to go through legal channels."

Zhou Yi sighs and nods, signaling to Shizi, who is preparing to shout and yell again; they should have thought of this before coming.

Being able to list this company in the directory of abnormal operations, making it impossible to deregister, is already a step forward.

After that, no matter what, one cannot bypass the Court!

"Then we can only go and sue? Can we check where these two people live?" Shizi says with some helplessness.

A woman nearby shakes her head and says, "If we knew where they lived, we would have gone straight there to block the door. What kind of trash are these people? Why are there such disgusting people!"

Zhou Yi thinks for a moment and says, "There is actually one way!"

"It's what I said before: no matter what, one cannot bypass the Court. If we intend to file a Lawsuit, we can first apply for Pre-litigation Property Preservation!"

This was Huo Pengfei's idea.

"Right!" Shizi nearby says, "At the very least, we cannot let him just transfer it like that."

Zhou Yi smiles bitterly upon hearing this, "Brother, it has been so long; if they really wanted to transfer assets, they would have definitely transferred them long ago."

Being able to take over this mess is enough to explain the problem.

"Pre-litigation Property Preservation is to make the other party uncomfortable, and it can also preserve the equipment in the gym first, so as to prevent them from secretly moving it away and selling it."

After all, everyone has to work; it is impossible to watch this gym day and night—that is impossible.

And if you don't watch it, they can pick a time at night to come and move everything away, and all you will be able to see is an empty building.

Therefore, if you want to guard the equipment inside twenty-four hours a day, the best way is Pre-litigation Property Preservation; the Court's seal is one of the most powerful locks in this world.

Zhou Yi even thinks in his heart that it would be best if they could tear off the Court's seal and take the things inside; that would be satisfying...

However, that should be unlikely.

"Then, we can formally file a Lawsuit and have the Lawyer apply for a Court Investigation Order!"

Of course, there is a small problem here, which is that generally, you only need contact information to file a Lawsuit.

Personal residential address is not something that is mandatorily required for Civil Litigation procedures.

So, whether the application can be successful is really up in the air...

But this is also a way; for now, this is all we can do.

Huo Pengfei certainly cannot be chosen; he is the company's legal counsel, so after thinking for a moment, Zhou Yi makes a call to Zhou Xinran.

"Hello, Xinran, what is Lawyer Fang doing? Why has he been on a call the whole time?"

Making up for missed updates. At the end of last month's event, we agreed on three extra chapters for five thousand monthly votes; later everyone voted for over three thousand, so I plan to return two chapters, and this is one. See you all tomorrow! After finishing these two, I will start paying back the ones owed before.

The case comes from a big shot in the group, and generally, nothing has been changed, including the fact that many people turn this behavior into an industrial chain. That big shot also discovered after personal investigation that many gyms that ran away had the same boss before, or someone related to that person.
