Chapter 456: You Call This

Wang Daoren felt that his previous line of thinking had gone off track again.

It wasn't that the idea of leaning toward a Criminal Case was wrong; on the contrary, when civil matters couldn't resolve a problem, trying every possible way to lean toward a Criminal Case was a very necessary line of reasoning.

It was also a mindset brought to him by Fang Dazhuang after three "advanced studies."

But, you couldn't just force things toward a Criminal Case.

Minors over the age of fourteen must bear criminal responsibility for Robbery, so you would use various methods to make the other party commit Robbery...

That is wrong!

In Fang Dazhuang's view, the assessment was: too crude.

And this time, Fang Dazhuang's approach was also very simple; it was done based on the characteristics of Behavioral Preservation.

As long as the other party complied with the ruling and stopped bullying Liu Yaoyao, then nothing would happen.

Even once or twice wouldn't cause any issues.

Wang Daoren thought carefully for a long time and realized he had indeed overlooked this thing called Behavioral Preservation.

Perhaps to others it was just a preservation, but in the hands of President Zhou, this thing could be played with endless variations.

Because President Zhou was the kind of player who, in the true sense of the word, "could play with you all day long."

Thinking about it this way, the more he thought, the more he felt the possibility was high!

It seemed he had been slacking off recently; no, he had to double his efforts to recharge after work, he absolutely could not just lie back and coast on his past achievements.

Lawyers, like doctors, learn as long as they live; there were too many things you had to study every year, such as newly promulgated laws, amendments to laws, and the Judicial Interpretation from the two supreme judicial organs.

Even things you had already memorized would be forgotten if you didn't touch them for a long time.

Wang Daoren had to step up his game!

But before that, he still had to hurry and prepare the Behavioral Preservation application; he had to let that Liu Yaoyao go to school normally.

With a plan in mind, Wang Daoren could go straight to work.

To get the application approved, he had to let the Court know after its review that not carrying out the preservation would directly affect the execution of the judgment.

That was easy to handle; Monitoring could prove that the student named Fang Zixuan was still engaging in various Tort behaviors.

If Behavioral Preservation wasn't carried out, then Liu Yaoyao wouldn't even be able to attend school normally, let alone anything else.

So, evidence and such weren't that difficult.

After organizing the evidence and preparing the security deposit, the application was sent to the Court.

Generally speaking, for this kind of preservation, there would be a specialized preservation center at the Court to conduct the review.

And since the Case Filing had already occurred, Li Xusheng would naturally also participate in the review.

The review was divided into a formal requirements review and a substantive review; sometimes, it even required the Court to conduct an investigation.

But specifically in this case, it wasn't that complicated; Liu Yaoyao's diagnosis was very clear, and she indeed had some psychological issues right now.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it was necessary to ensure she was not disturbed or subjected to Tort during her continued schooling.

After finishing the application, Wang Daoren returned to the Company to continue his consulting; he had done everything he could, and he couldn't control the rest.

Yan Yumei had actually taken leave these past few days, accompanying her daughter around to try and open up the girl's heart.

She also discovered that she had been too harsh when managing her child in the past, always feeling that if the child didn't do well in school, it was because she wasn't working hard enough.

And she had ignored the fact that "some children are just smart."

Because no parent is willing to admit that their own child is inferior to someone else's child.

Some people just don't have the heart for studying, but they have talent in other areas.

The hospital examination gave her a shock, because the child even had thoughts of ending her own life!

So, not only did she accompany her daughter around, but she also regularly sought specialized psychological treatment.

But no matter how much was done, the child ultimately had to go to school to learn.

This was a legal requirement; you cannot refuse Compulsory Education.

Just when Yan Yumei was very anxious, Wang Daoren called.

"So, Lawyer Wang, can I let my child go now? But what if the other party bullies her again?"

"Go directly to the teacher, call the police; remember, you must call the police in time, never have any hesitation, you must leave a record!"

Wang Daoren hurriedly explained the specific operating steps; he didn't ask the other party to buy any recording or video equipment.

After all, that was just a minor; it was impossible to expect the other party to collect evidence.

So calling the police was enough, and besides, schools generally had Monitoring now.

Plus, with other students as witnesses, there was no need to worry too much.

It was also fortunate that Liu Yaoyao was a girl; if she were a boy and taken by the other party to a place like a restroom to be bullied, then fixing the evidence might be more troublesome.

Calling the police didn't necessarily require a mobile phone; many smartwatches now could be used for calls, so calling the police was naturally not a problem.

After giving instructions for a long time, Yan Yumei and Liu Yaoyao listened there; the little girl didn't speak, just quietly listened and quietly remembered.

Everything was so harmonious.

…………

Fang Haodong arrived at the Guangming District Court.

He had to come because the Guangming District Court notified him that if he didn't come to collect the relevant ruling document, then after the ruling automatically took effect, he would have to bear the adverse consequences himself.

This was just like not showing up for a court hearing; it was your right, but the court would just rule however they wanted.

It was just that Fang Haodong was very confused; didn't the previous lawsuit still have a few days left? Why was he here to collect some ruling document now?

After waiting for about half an hour, he got the ruling document; he opened it and saw: Behavioral Preservation ruling document? What was this?

Looking at the content, it was actually very simple: during the Litigation, he, as the guardian, had to restrain his ward and was not allowed to let the other party engage in any more Tort behaviors.

Fang Haodong didn't quite understand, because he had indeed never come into contact with this kind of thing before.

The staff member responsible for giving him the ruling document explained it a bit.

But that was just telling him to keep his child in check, and telling him that the effect of this thing is the same as a judgment.

If he is dissatisfied, he can file for reconsideration, but during the reconsideration period, the preservation will remain in effect.

For Fang Haodong, this was like saying nothing at all...

But he certainly couldn't ask again, because he had to project an image of knowing everything.

Face is the most important thing.

It was already noon by the time he returned home with the Behavioral Preservation ruling, and after pondering it for a while, Fang Haodong called his son over.

He informed the other party about the preservation ruling.

Fang Haodong didn't even understand it himself, so there was even less reason to expect Fang Zixuan to understand.

A child of this age is exceptionally rebellious; what court ruling, what does that have to do with me, I bullied her so what, who can do anything to me.

It's not that they are lawless, but that they haven't experienced anything, so they aren't afraid of anything!

Why do we always say that the older you get, the less bold you become? It is precisely because of this; having experienced more, one develops a sense of fear toward many things.

Fang Zixuan currently doesn't care about these things at all, and he didn't take his father's words to heart.

Anyway, he just isn't afraid; if something happens, his parents are there, and his grandparents and maternal grandparents are there too. With so many people from two families doting on one child, how could you expect him to have any fear?

So, as soon as Fang Haodong finished speaking, he ran straight back to his bedroom; he had just acknowledged a "younger sister" in a game, and it was a critical moment.

A piece of news recently spread through Heping Road Middle School: in the same class, the parent of a girl named Liu Yaoyao had sued the parent of another classmate.

Because the other party's child had bullied their child.

This also drew some gossip; for instance, some parents believed that no matter what, there was no need to sue.

And some members of the Parent Committee felt that doing this seemed to show no regard for them...

Reality is just that interesting; you could say everyone has an itch for power.

The Parent Committee was originally just meant to be a bridge for communication between parents and teachers, but inexplicably, the existence of the Parent Committee has also changed in nature.

At the drop of a hat, they will jump out and say, for such-and-such a holiday, let's pool money to buy something for the teacher.

And the things they buy aren't cheap either.

Can you refuse? Certainly not; all the other parents have paid, if you don't, what is that supposed to mean?

But after paying the money, the favor is taken by those who made the suggestion.

So why do so few people take the legal route? It is precisely because of this; even if you win, the child will still be isolated in class.

Originally, Liu Yaoyao had asked for leave, so that was fine.

But today, the other party came to school.

This caused many classmates to surround her; they really wanted to know what exactly had happened.

But Liu Yaoyao couldn't say it; she stutters, and she gets nervous when there are too many people, and when she gets nervous, she becomes even more unable to speak.

She could only hurry back to the classroom to sit down.

But she wanted to hide, and Fang Zixuan didn't want to let her off.

Rebellion is one thing, but in Fang Zixuan's view, the fact that this person was actually going to sue for no reason had caused his father to scold him several times.

This must be retaliated against!

So, not long after, many students in the class saw a familiar scene: Liu Yaoyao sitting at her desk, and Fang Zixuan beside her mimicking the way she spoke.

"I, I, I want to sue you, oh I'm so scared, your mom is just a stinking cleaner, so arrogant, suing my dad, right?"

"I'm telling you right now, you outsiders aren't even fit to be in Jingzhou, and you won't let me... what was it, not let me commit a Tort, well I committed it, so what!"

While speaking, Fang Zixuan reached out his hand, pushing her repeatedly, and continued saying: "I committed a Tort, so what, what can you do?"

"Are you going to call your cleaner parents again? Go ahead and call them, see if I'll be afraid!"

Liu Yaoyao's eyes were already full of tears; some classmates felt it was too much, but no one stopped him.

So, Liu Yaoyao took out her watch to call the police and started running toward the office.

Behind her, Fang Zixuan was still talking and cursing, as if he wanted to vent all the anger of "being sued."

Someone who was originally submissive had suddenly started to resist; this was something he absolutely could not accept!

On the other side, Ma Ling in the office received a call.

It was from the Court; Wang Daoren had specifically requested it, asking the Court to notify the teacher and ask the teacher to help keep an eye on things.

Not asking her to do anything, just asking her to be a witness, and if possible, to help call the police.

After all, they were minors, and the situation was a bit serious, so the Court did help by notifying her.

Ma Ling was very surprised to hear the notification on the phone, because she had never heard of any Behavioral Preservation before...

But now that she knew, she had to help.

It was just that she was very curious: with the involvement of that President Zhou from Tengda, to what extent would this matter develop?

Could it be that just because one student bullied another, someone would end up inside? That shouldn't be the case.

Even A Yi shouldn't have that kind of ability.

Just as Ma Ling was thinking this, she heard sounds coming from outside, and suddenly the office door was pushed open; Liu Yaoyao's figure appeared at the doorway.

"Tea-tea-tea-tea... Teacher, I..."

The rest of her words didn't come out, because Ma Ling had already nodded and said: "Alright, I know, Fang Zixuan, you stop right there!"

Seeing that Ma Ling had come out, Fang Zixuan stopped, but he still had a cocky expression on his face.

Caught by the teacher, so what; at worst, she'll just say a few words, or at most call his parents, what else can she do?

His family would just put on a show, they wouldn't actually do anything.

Anyway, with Compulsory Education now, they couldn't expel him.

That's right, kids nowadays don't just know the Minor Protection Law and the Criminal Law, they also know the Compulsory Education Law.

What can one say, our legal education is really doing well now...

However, the development of events was somewhat beyond Fang Zixuan's expectations, because after Ma Ling told him to stand still, she did not say a single word to him!

She just walked to Liu Yaoyao's side and confirmed something with her.

What is going on?

Fang Zixuan did not think anything would happen; he just felt it was a bit strange that the teacher was actually not criticizing him anymore.

The class bell rang, and Ma Ling said directly, "Neither of you go back to class; come to the office and wait."

The police had already been called, so they would definitely dispatch officers; being questioned by the police in front of other classmates certainly wouldn't do, as there was no telling what rumors might spread if that got out.

Standing in the office, Fang Zixuan had a bored expression on his face, but just at this moment, the office door was pushed open, and two police officers walked in.

Fang Zixuan took a look; had the other party really called the police?

He was not afraid, though; he was a minor, after all.

It was just that he had only pushed her twice—did this really warrant calling the police?

The police officer from the Heping Road Police Station in front stepped forward and asked, "Who called the police, and who is Liu Yaoyao?"

Liu Yaoyao hurriedly pointed to herself and said, "I, I am."

"Oh, you said on the phone that you were being bullied? What happened?" the police officer asked with a serious expression.

After all, when a girl says she is being bullied, the matter could be big or small.

Liu Yaoyao wanted to explain, but she started stuttering again, so Ma Ling, who was beside her, spoke up: "Comrade, I am this child's homeroom teacher; let me tell you about it."

After a detailed explanation, the police finally understood, and the look they gave Fang Zixuan was as if they were looking at a piece of trash...

Pushing someone a few times and scolding them for a while didn't count as a major matter at all, so the police only gave Fang Zixuan a verbal warning.

However, the relevant records were kept quite complete, such as the police dispatch record, the video Monitoring retrieval record, and so on...

School bullying is something many people do not like, including our police comrades.

Fang Zixuan was sent back to the classroom, but as soon as he returned, he started showing off.

"Yeah, they even called the police just now, but when the police came, they just said a few words, saying I shouldn't bully classmates. Is that what you call bullying her?"

"Who told her family to be so jumpy!"

"I'm telling you all, I just realized it now: these police won't manage us at all..."

Immersed in showing off, Fang Zixuan did not notice at all that a lawyer surnamed Wang had quietly arrived at the school and taken away all the relevant evidence obtained from the previous police report.

He was even less aware that, right after returning to the classroom, the tears on Liu Yaoyao's face had vanished.

This girl had become much stronger than before because Yan Yumei had taken her to Tengda for two days.

The environment really easily influences a person, and coupled with the pointers from "Crouching Dragon" and "Phoenix Chick," and Huo Pengfei's guidance, at the very least, the little girl truly understood the importance of acting.

And she wasn't acting; she had truly been bullied to tears...

It was just that she had adjusted herself back now.

The next time she was bullied to tears, that would be a matter for next time.

If a Behavioral Preservation is violated by the other party, it does not necessarily mean one must report it to the Court every single time it happens.

Such matters never require haste; everything must be done slowly.

According to the Court's schedule, the hearing for the Tort case would be at nine o'clock in the morning two weeks later.

And as time passed, Fang Haodong had long since thrown the so-called Behavioral Preservation to the back of his mind.

It seemed like nothing was wrong; it was just a document, after all.

The key now was that the lawsuit was about to start, but that relative he had found through twists and turns actually asked him for a Lawyer Fee right off the bat!

Are you kidding? Isn't the point of using connections to save money? Why are you asking me for money now!

But there was no other way; apart from that relative, he didn't know anyone else, and letting him go to those Law Firms himself was definitely out of the question.

Because in Fang Haodong's eyes, those places were all scams!

He had to use connections; without connections, he would rather not hire a lawyer than be cheated by those so-called Law Firms.

Jingzhou De Sheng Law Firm, a not-so-large firm.

Inside the office, Fang Haodong was chatting with the Lawyer opposite him.

"Brother, you say we are relatives after all, and blood is thicker than water; it's not that I can't pay, it's mainly that you are asking for too much money..."

The bald Lawyer opposite was surnamed Qin, and upon hearing this, he said, "Brother Fang, it is precisely because we are relatives that I am charging this little."

"I usually charge much more for other lawsuits!"

Fang Haodong pursed his lips, and having no other choice, he could only agree: "Alright then, whatever you say, but this lawsuit must be won!"

"I can't guarantee that for you; I can only do my best, you know," Lawyer Qin shook his head and said.

He was already overjoyed; he scammed strangers for half and acquaintances for a full sweep—he was earning quite a lot from this case.

"You... alright then, let me ask you one more thing while I'm at it. I just received this thing a while ago; take a look, what is this Behavioral Preservation ruling?"

Lawyer Qin opposite was stunned; he took the object and began to look at it, asking as he read: "This is telling you to keep your son in check and not let the other party go bully others again."

"The other party actually got this? And they succeeded? The security deposit paid for this must have been quite high!"

"Did you keep him in check?"

Fang Haodong said casually, "I've talked to Zixuan, and he is very obedient. By the way, does this have any impact?"

"As long as there is no more bullying behavior, then there is no impact. And if we win, it will be difficult for their side."

"It's fine, you just go about your business; you don't even need to go to the hearing, I'll handle it for you."

Fang Haodong nodded; relatives are reliable indeed.

Look at you outsiders; do you have such connections locally?

Of course, Fang Haodong did not know that at this very moment, a bald man had walked into the Case Filing hall of the Guangming District Court.

"Teacher Fang, have you not been busy lately? Whoa, are you going to initiate a Criminal Private Prosecution again?"

Fang Dazhuang smiled upon hearing this: "Heh, there are no cases I want lately, and since I'm idle anyway, I've come to file a lawsuit to clear my head."

The fellow beside me had nothing to say; Refusal to Execute Judgment or Ruling, you call a Criminal Private Prosecution a way to relax, I have nothing to say...

When the evidence accumulates to a certain degree, the charge can be established.

The key is that multiple violations of the Behavioral Preservation ruling caused Liu Yaoyao's mental condition to become more severe, leading to Serious Consequences...

So it didn't even make it past the First Instance before it could be prosecuted...

Twenty thousand words completed, the backlog of owed chapters has reached eighty-four thousand words!

I'm exhausted, really. It's half an hour later than the expected four o'clock; mainly because my hands went numb from writing and couldn't keep up. I don't know if there are any fellow Daoists still cultivating, I'm not sure what time I'll go tomorrow, anyway I'll update when I wake up, goodnight, hand over those monthly votes!
