Chapter 464: Do you want the other party to go in?

Li Changming truly felt his anger soaring to the heavens, but he dared not act impulsively in front of the police.

He just felt that whatever happened was a family matter, and as long as they closed their own door to resolve it, there was no need to make such a big fuss.

Calling the police on top of that—wasn't this just a disgrace?

But he could only let out a grunt of "Mm."

The neighborhood police officer Lao Xia heard this and said: "Your wife just reported that you have committed domestic violence, so we are taking you back now..."

However, before Lao Xia could finish his sentence, he saw an old lady from across the way step forward and shout directly: "Comrades, what are you doing? This is just a couple having a quarrel; whose family doesn't quarrel?"

"Why do you have to take him back? What is this for!"

Other people like the sister-in-law and uncle were all saying there: "It really is just a couple having a quarrel; it will be fine once it passes."

A crowd of people were all talking, making a chaotic din, until Lao Xia finally couldn't help but shout: "Everyone stop for a moment, listen to me. Is this a matter of just a quarrel? This is domestic violence, do you understand!"

"Alright, Li Changming, come with me!"

The most important thing Yin Dajie learned at Tengda was that no matter what one does, the initiative must be held, and evidence must be sufficient.

Therefore, she had just let the police officers look at the marks on her face and neck from being hit.

The police officers were highly experienced and could tell at a glance that these were fresh, so a relevant investigation had to be conducted.

If domestic violence truly existed, it had to be viewed comprehensively; if the situation was relatively serious, it might lead to Administrative Detention.

Good heavens, Li Changming had already been taken away once last time because Yin Dajie called the police; who would have thought she would call them again this time!

And they were going to take him away; Li Changming's family members were instantly unable to bear it.

"What are you doing, comrades? Yin Ninghua, say something! Why did you call the police? Do you feel very happy that he is being taken away by the police?"

"You two are a married couple; he lost face, and you have no face either. What are you thinking? Hurry and explain to the police comrades, just say there is nothing going on at all!"

The old lady shouted there, making Yin Dajie feel a bit like vomiting.

"Comrade, this is actually the second time he has hit me this month; last time he slapped me across the face."

After he hit her last time, he offered all sorts of apologies, and Yin Dajie had been thinking about things like separation, so she hadn't called the police.

She didn't expect to be hit again today.

Upon hearing this, Lao Xia said directly: "I will warn you one more time, leave immediately, and we will talk after we go back and investigate clearly!"

Seeing that Lao Xia seemed to want to bring out the Handcuffs, Li Changming hurriedly said: "Comrade, I'll go with you, I'll go with you."

The family watched as Li Changming was taken away; the old lady still wanted to say something to Yin Dajie, but Yin Dajie also left the house, as she had to go to the Police Station first, and then go to the hospital for an examination afterward.

Real-time evidence after being subjected to domestic violence is extremely important; the police report record is one aspect, and the hospital examination result is another.

In any case, Yin Dajie was very glad that she was at Tengda now; at the very least, she was very clear about these aspects of things.

Unlike some people, who only know how to complain and blame others after being subjected to domestic violence, and then when they want to do something, they find they have no evidence.

Only the family was left there looking at each other in dismay.

No one expected Li Changming to suddenly explode, and even less did they expect Yin Dajie to call the police without the slightest hesitation.

But there was no other way; they could only wait at home.

Around the next morning, Li Changming walked out of the Police Station with dark circles under his eyes, but his face was extremely displeased.

After the investigation, it was confirmed that he had indeed raised his hand to hit Yin Dajie, but after all, they were husband and wife, and the beating wasn't heavy.

The situation was indeed just like that; the so-called Slight Injury and Serious Injury in law, especially in Criminal Law, are two different concepts from the Slight Injury and Serious Injury we understand in reality.

Therefore, Li Changming was fine after the investigation.

Although the Public Security Bureau had already issued a Warning to him, stating that he might face Detention if he raised his hand again, Li Changming didn't feel anything of it.

He felt that this wife of his was just asking for a beating; his mother was right, a real man must stand tall at home, and if she doesn't listen, just beat her.

Divorce? Don't even think about it!

Returning home, the hearts of the relatives were finally put at ease, but in their chatting with each other, there was a feeling that this was all Yin Dajie's fault.

"Why did she call the police? My brother just has a bad temper, and besides, who told her to yell at the elders first? If she hadn't done that, my brother wouldn't have raised his hand..." Li Changming's younger sister said.

"Don't talk about these things; anyway, he hit her, so he hit her. At most, he'd be in Detention for a few days, what else could happen!" Li Changming said.

He was truly not afraid; on the way back, he had asked some friends if there would be any trouble for hitting one's wife.

One of his friends told him to set his heart at ease, as there was nothing to it at all.

He even said that he himself had been investigated for domestic violence, but nothing happened at all.

Why would the Police Station bother with such trivial matters? At most, you'd be in Detention for a few days, and after you come out, things go on just as they were.

Look at him now, isn't that exactly the case? He hit his wife and she called the police, but it was just a few days of investigation, and there was nothing to it at all.

And a little later, Yin Dajie returned home.

As soon as she arrived home, she was met with a torrent of abuse.

"Why did you come back? Why don't you just go die? You called the police, didn't you? Are you happy that I lost face?" Li Changming shouted there.

Many neighbors had seen him when he was taken away, so now he looked at Yin Dajie with eyes turning red.

"I'm telling you, I'm perfectly fine. The Police Station doesn't care about domestic violence or whatever; so what if I hit you!"

"You called the police? Call them again, go ahead! If you dare yell at my mother again in the future, I'll keep beating you!"

On the other side, the old lady spoke up: "Alright, Changming, stop talking. Ning Hua, you sit here too. Mom will talk to you properly; a family really shouldn't be like this. You called the police, and those police are outsiders..."

Yin Dajie didn't speak; she glanced at them and went back to prepare to change her clothes. She still had to go to work; if she didn't work, she wouldn't be able to make money.

Seeing Yin Dajie's attitude, Li Changming suddenly flew into a rage.

"What kind of attitude is that? You didn't even make breakfast this morning, and you didn't wash the pots from last night. What do you want to do? Do you believe I'll beat you again!"

Seeing that Li Changming was about to come up and use his fists again, Yin Dajie stepped forward directly and said: "Come on, hit me. If I can't go to work, I can't make money, so hit me all you want!"

Hearing this, Li Changming finally calmed down a little, and after being persuaded by others, he finally stopped his actions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin Dajie hurriedly changed her clothes and went out; she really didn't want to stay for even one more second.

She arrived at the entrance just in time.

"Morning, President Yin!"

Someone was greeting her, and Yin Dajie responded with a smile, but her state made it obvious to anyone at a glance.

After a night had passed, the bruises from being beaten yesterday were a bit noticeable, causing many Employees of the Company to start gossiping.

People are naturally gossipy; although the atmosphere at Tenda is very good, gossip is something that cannot be stopped.

And so, before long, under the deliberate inquiries of Zhou Mouren, the matter regarding Yin Dajie was known.

The other party had been a victim of Domestic Violence!

Suddenly, Zhou Yi remembered that it seemed to be last month when Fang Dazhuang had called him, saying that if he encountered any cases related to Domestic Violence, he should remember to notify him.

It seemed that Fang Dazhuang recently needed this type of case for research.

On one side was the Company Legal Department, and on the other was Fang Dazhuang; Zhou Yi didn't need to consider it at all, pulled out his phone, and called Fang Dazhuang.

Meanwhile, inside the Law Firm, Fang Dazhuang was busy flipping through the notebook in his hands.

Thanks to the previous cases, his progress was significant, but then again, for Fang Dazhuang, cases were just like money-making for ordinary people.

He had just encountered this classic case, finished it, felt a bit of a rush, and then wanted another classic case to get that rush again.

Just then, his phone rang; he looked and saw it was Zhou Yi.

"Hey Zhou Yi, why are you calling me so early today? Are you okay after drinking yesterday? I told you to send Xinran back; did you send her back?" Fang Dazhuang laughed.

"Of course I sent her back, you still don't trust me to handle things? Xinran really seemed to have drunk too much yesterday..." Zhou Yi's voice sounded.

He had sent Zhou Xinran back last night, but the other party seemed to have no strength at all; he was almost exhausted to death.

"So after I got home, I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed."

Fang Dazhuang: "..." This was probably just life.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What do you need me for? I'm a bit busy here; I have to see a client in a while."

During work hours, Zhou Yi didn't waste words and said directly: "I am a bit busy, Fang Dazhuang, so let me keep it brief. Didn't you say before to keep an eye out for any Domestic Violence cases?"

"I have one here now, a Lawsuit for divorce, and Huo Pengfei from our Legal Department is in charge..."

Zhou Yi explained the general situation and then said: "Fang Dazhuang, if you are busy, I will let Huo Pengfei handle it."

"Well, actually, I suddenly realized I'm not that busy. Clients, I can see them later!" Fang Dazhuang said decisively.

"Then Huo Pengfei..."

"Don't you worry about that, I'm coming to your Company right now; I'll talk to him in person!"

That was settled then. Actually, Zhou Yi was also very curious why Fang Dazhuang was so keen on Domestic Violence cases now.

After the call, Zhou Yi arrived at the Legal Department, and this time he finally saw Huo Pengfei.

And sitting opposite Huo Pengfei was none other than Yin Dajie.

"Lawyer Huo, you really are busy; I've come several times and couldn't see you," Zhou Yi joked.

Huo Pengfei looked up with a helpless expression: "President Zhou, who do you think I should blame for being this busy?"

"Of course you should blame the... *cough cough*, well, Lawyer Huo, has Yin Dajie already consulted with you?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.

He only remembered halfway through his sentence that he was the boss now. Sure enough, wherever one sits determines how one thinks.

Upon seeing Zhou Yi, Yin Dajie stood up to greet him and said: "President Zhou, I have already consulted with Lawyer Huo."

"You've consulted already? Pengfei, is Yin Dajie's problem serious?"

Facing the Company boss, and with Yin Dajie's consent, Huo Pengfei said directly: "The problem is indeed serious, so I am currently preparing to collect evidence."

"If the other party's Domestic Violence behavior can be established, then perhaps the divorce can go through."

Huo Pengfei spoke very sincerely. He wasn't actually particularly specialized in marriage and family law, but since he worked as corporate legal counsel, he certainly had to do all kinds of work.

"Hmm, that's a good idea. However, Pengfei, don't worry about Yin Dajie's case for now; I'll find someone else to handle it."

What? Both Huo Pengfei and Yin Dajie were stunned.

"No, President Zhou, I've been following this case for so long, and now that it's about to have a result, you want to hand it over to someone else?" Huo Pengfei said.

Yin Dajie also looked conflicted. It was widely acknowledged that Huo Pengfei was the best Litigation Lawyer at Tenda.

Because of this, he also had the most Litigation cases...

There was no helping it; just like when we go to see a doctor, since they are all doctors, we definitely want to find the most awesome expert to diagnose us.

"President Zhou, who exactly is it? Dao Ren or Zhang Wei? It can't be President Liu, right? Even if it's the King of Heaven, one still has to be reasonable!" Huo Pengfei continued.

Before Zhou Yi could speak, the door to the Legal Department was pushed open, and a man with thinning hair walked in, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking very refined.

"Oh my, Teacher Fang, why are you here?" Huo Pengfei said with a face full of smiles.

When Fang Dazhuang wasn't around, he would often say: "I want to become a man like Fang Dazhuang, I want to beat Fang Dazhuang."

But when Fang Dazhuang was actually standing in front of him, under that kind of pressure, the situation would change.

Sucking up to a big shot isn't shameful.

Fang Dazhuang laughed: "Lawyer Huo, I heard you shouting from far away. I congratulate you on having a good case."

"It's just that I happen to have some research that needs this case. How about you let me take it?"

So that was it; it turned out Fang Dazhuang wanted this case!

Huo Pengfei said hurriedly: "No problem, Fang Dazhuang, whatever materials you need, I have them all here!"

Seeing a bald man walk in, Yin Dajie was a bit dazed, only to find that the bald man was actually fighting with Lawyer Huo for her case!

What was going on? Was she really that popular now?

As Yin Dajie was lost in all sorts of thoughts, Zhou Yi walked over and said: "Alright Yin Dajie, don't think about it. This Lawyer Fang is a good friend of mine, and he is also the most awesome lawyer I know!"

"He is quite interested in your case and wants to take it over. What do you think?"

The most awesome lawyer—this sounded a bit vague. Yin Dajie didn't know how good this Lawyer Fang was, but she knew Huo Pengfei's level.

After all, she was a professional accountant, and Huo Pengfei was a professional lawyer.

Seeing that Yin Dajie was silent and hesitant, Zhou Yi immediately realized the reason.

"Let's put it this way, Yin Dajie, Fang Dazhuang's level is probably equal to many Huo Pengfeis combined. Besides, there was a period of time when he turned quite a few divorce cases into Criminal Cases..."

"I choose Lawyer Fang, thank you, President Zhou."

Huo Pengfei, who was busy fawning over Fang Dazhuang nearby, no longer took this matter to heart; actually watching how Fang Dazhuang handled a case was an opportunity not everyone got!

With that, there were no more issues, and Fang Dazhuang began to understand the problem in detail.

"That's how things are, Lawyer Fang. My husband was taken away for investigation, but he came back this morning and said they wouldn't do anything about it at all."

"He even said that if I continue to disobey him in the future, he will keep beating me. Tell me, what should I do about this..."

"That house is my house. They want me to leave, but I absolutely cannot leave!"

Yin Dajie started crying as she spoke; the grievances she had suffered were too great.

She really couldn't understand why that whole family had such thick skin.

"Lawyer Huo suggested that we could file a new Lawsuit on the grounds of domestic violence and make the other party pay compensation..."

Fang Dazhuang looked at Huo Pengfei and said, "Before that, Director Yin, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

"Do you purely just want a divorce, or are you saying... you want your husband to go inside?"

"My suggestion is, if the other party goes inside, then all problems will be solved."

Second update. Two updates totaling eight thousand words today, then Lao Zhou is going to sleep first, and will continue after waking up.
