Chapter 476: Is there really someone this arrogant in Jingzhou?

In the Tengda Company conference room, Zhou Yi was yawning; He Ling, an employee of the newly recruited Legal Department, had insisted through thick and thin that Zhou Yi come to conduct the interviews.

In He Ling's words, a Legal Department employee who hadn't been vetted by President Zhou just felt like they were missing something...

There were five interviewees sitting in the conference room, the result of having passed through layers of interviews, and Zhou Yi was responsible for the final round.

Of course, there still had to be a probationary period; if there were those who didn't fit the Tengda Company work philosophy, they certainly couldn't be let in.

At this moment, the five people were sitting up straight, looking at Zhou Yi, all wanting to know what kind of method this President Zhou would use to interview them.

Right now in Jingzhou, Tengda was a very good choice; it was said to be very relaxed, and one never had to work overtime.

Not to mention that every few days there were various benefits, so before anything had even happened, everyone had already started to compete internally.

A hint of nervousness showed on Liu Kang's face; that's right, the ambitious Lawyer Liu had also come to participate in the interview.

The first lawsuit of his career had been against Huo Pengfei, and he had truly been pushed to the point of doubting his own life.

Actually, in the past, Huo Pengfei hadn't been like this; winning the lawsuit was enough.

But ever since he started learning from Fang Dazhuang, the whole person seemed to have something wrong with him.

Fang Dazhuang's principle was that once in court, one didn't treat the opposing lawyer as a human being, and Huo Pengfei naturally followed suit.

What kind of skill was winning a lawsuit? Making the opposing lawyer doubt their own life, that was the true manifestation of ability!

The consequence of losing that lawsuit last time was that Liu Kang hadn't recovered for quite a while.

If it had only been the first case, that would have been fine, but the second case he took on, he encountered Zhou Xinran...

This was a direct disciple, after all.

Liu Kang had lain in his room for three days and three nights; he felt that that very beautiful female lawyer acted as if she had a vendetta against him.

Really, were these lawyers sick? How much money were they making to risk their lives like this!

After much reflection, Liu Kang decided to come to Tengda.

He did indeed have some ability; he had passed the previous interviews.

It was said that this President Zhou interviewed based on Tengda's philosophy, so what on earth was Tengda's philosophy?

Zhou Yi himself was also quite troubled; how should he handle this? Should he make everyone have two debates on the spot?

One civil debate, one martial debate.

Because Fang Dazhuang had once said that when he was drunk.

Just at this moment, his phone rang; he picked it up and saw it was a message from Yuan Jie.

"Hey Pigeon Spirit, that couple that was scolding you online, the one where the man is a foreigner, the police have shown up at their door. You better take a look, it's an emergency!"

Hmm, so they're making arrests now, that's pretty fast.

Zhou Yi instantly had an idea and instructed: "Cast a live stream onto the conference room screen..."

The screen was already on, and the staff member quickly found the live stream; the group of people in the conference room all looked over in unison.

"Everyone, first watch this live stream of an arrest; this is also a case related to me. After watching, I will have a discussion with everyone."

Watching a live arrest during a final interview... Liu Kang looked natural; this was probably what made Tengda different.

He hurriedly looked over; on the screen, a bunch of people were arguing—there were police, a girl, and a Black man.

Since they could come to Tengda, they naturally had heard of this matter; it seemed like someone online had written another Small Essay, saying this and that about President Zhou.

Liu Kang remembered that many people online were still saying that A Yi was going to fall this time because the other party hadn't done anything illegal.

And now... a live arrest.

But as they watched, everyone present was a bit stunned, because they saw with their own eyes that the Black man was shouting insults, and then he threw a punch right at the police!

Holy crap! Is there really someone this arrogant in Jingzhou?

Although he had seen in the news before that some foreigners seemed particularly arrogant and dared to lash out at the police.

But after all, that was just news, and that was in daily life; this was an actual arrest!

Zhou Yi wanted to applaud; so brave, he really wanted to ask this guy, do you do this in your own country too?

Aren't you afraid of "American-style Jiuhe"?

The comments were already going crazy; where could live-stream shopping be as exciting as this!

"Holy crap, so brave, he's truly brave, I'm crying..."

"I'm just curious what the merchant who hired these two to sell goods is thinking right now, though to be honest, I really sympathize with that merchant."

"This woman is still helping him talk; I really admire her train of thought. Foreigners can't be governed by domestic laws? What is she thinking?"

All kinds of comments flashed by frantically; just as everyone said, that merchant was probably going crazy.

They hired an influencer to help sell goods, and the influencer ended up making it look real for the sake of the show...

Han Juan actually wasn't thinking too much right now; at a time like this, she wouldn't be thinking too much.

She just felt that this was her boyfriend, and he definitely couldn't be taken away so easily; where would she put her face?

She just didn't expect that her boyfriend would actually get into a conflict with the police.

"First Warning, please come with us!" the translator shouted there.

However, Charlie didn't care at all; he had also seen those videos online—if you hit them, you hit them, what could they possibly do?

"You don't have the right to arrest me, I am not from your country, I want to contact our embassy, don't touch me!"

"Officer, Officer, let's make this clear, shall we? You can't just arrest people for no reason, right!"

It was a pity no one paid her any mind; the officer had already explained the reason just now, and no matter what else she said about it, they wouldn't listen to her.

"Second Warning!"

Still no effect; Charlie's struggle was very intense, and his hands were not idle at all.

"Third Warning, warning ineffective, now proceeding with mandatory measures!"

After the lead officer finished speaking, he directly brought out the Silver Bracelets, yet the Silver Bracelets, which had always been very effective, lost their effect this time.

Charlie was there, roaring and shouting in a fit of rage, and that word starting with 'f' was heard clearly by many people.

The barrage was already filled with all sorts of mockery, asking Han Juan if this was the cultured and polite foreigner she had spoken of?

After all, it was a Criminal Summons, and it was a Private Prosecution Case, so considering certain issues, the police could not be too heavy-handed.

But because they dared not be too heavy-handed here, the other party was unscrupulous, which led to the situation looking a bit unsightly.

But just at this moment, suddenly, Charlie stopped all his movements, raised his hands with extreme agility, and squatted on the ground...

What was going on? The barrage was full of "?", and some people who were just mocking were surprised that they hadn't even managed to control the person they were arresting.

As it turned out, this sudden change was like a mouse encountering a cat, and the movements of this Black man were extremely practiced, as if by reflex.

Everyone looked over with curiosity, only to see an older policeman behind slowly securing the holster at his waist.

And so, everyone understood.

In the country, this might be a part of the Regret Series that couldn't scare people, but abroad, this thing had a massive effect.

Look at Charlie's movements, his posture, it was extremely standard; one look and you could tell he had specifically practiced it.

The lead policeman came up and put on the Silver Bracelets; a normal Criminal Summons wouldn't require this, but who told this guy to resist just now.

He even hit one of the comrades, causing his nose to bleed.

Charlie was obediently handcuffed, while Han Juan kept saying there: "Comrade, Charlie only picked up that camera to play with it. He just felt the other party was yelling at us for no reason and thought about punishing him; it wasn't that he intentionally wouldn't give it back!"

"It's true, Comrade, how could Charlie possibly care about such a broken camera? He comes from the United States!"

Seeing that absolutely no one was paying attention to her and that her boyfriend was about to be taken away, Han Juan was truly anxious.

"Can the police just arrest people randomly? If you have the ability, arrest me too!"

"Fine, you just wait, I will definitely go and sue you, I will go and file a complaint, I will go to the media, you just wait!"

Hearing this, the lead policeman turned his head and glanced at Han Juan with a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

Han Juan naturally chased them to the door, still saying something.

Then... amidst the bewildered gazes of the people in the conference room, another team of police appeared outside the door.

Among them were two policewomen.

"Han Juan, is it? ID number... contact information..."

Han Juan was stunned; why did this situation look a bit familiar?

Subconsciously, she said: "Yes, it's me..."

"Receiving the Criminal Case Filing Notice from the Guangming District Court, we are now legally executing a Criminal Detention against you. This is the detention warrant, please sign it!"

Holy crap! Zhou Yi was stunned watching in the conference room; what kind of magical way for things to unfold was this!

Just a moment ago she was shouting "if you have the ability, arrest me too," and then people arrived right here, and their paperwork was flawless, with all the required materials fully prepared.

So why did they have to be split into two groups?

This was, of course, because Charlie was a foreigner; although foreigners here are subject to our laws, in the actual process, there are certainly differences.

And then, by some twist of fate, this kind of show effect appeared...

The barrage was already unwatchable.

"Is this the legendary 'golden words'? Saying you must arrest them, so they must be arrested; not arresting them isn't an option!"

"I'm truly dumbfounded. So she has problems too, right? I just said Zhou Yi definitely isn't that kind of person; this must be another Small Essay."

Everyone on the internet was dumbfounded, and Han Juan herself was already unable to speak.

When her boyfriend was taken away, she just felt very uncomfortable, holding a belly full of anger and wanting to argue, wanting to engage in all sorts of Legal Aid.

She didn't expect that she would also...

This was probably the legendary surprise.

"Comrade, I... I..."

"Don't say anything more, come with us first. We will help notify your family."

A policeman stepped forward to turn off the computer, incidentally turned off the lights and such, and then took Han Juan away.

She didn't dare to speak or resist at all now.

She had the warning example of her boyfriend right there.

Although the live stream had already ended, everyone still felt they had countless things to say in their hearts.

They quickly moved to other platforms, and at the same time, various Self-Media had already sent out the related news.

The internet celebrity couple who got famous by leeching off Zhou Yi's traffic were arrested, one after the other, with no more than thirty seconds in between...

Everyone was saying Zhou Yi had chickened out, but in the end, Zhou Yi sent both of them in.

Another stubborn fool used their own freedom to verify one thing: many ways to make money are written in the Criminal Law.

In the conference room, the projection screen had already gone dark. Zhou Yi looked at the five interviewees in front of him and said: "Well, what are your thoughts?"

The workhorses in the Company's Legal Department were quite fast; they had only just been instructed, and they had already successfully filed the case and made the arrests.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yi smiled and said: "By the way, it's not just these two who filed a Private Prosecution this time; there are many others. As long as they are significant enough, they have all filed a Criminal Private Prosecution."

"For those who aren't significant enough, it's Civil Compensation."

"I want to ask you now, do you think this kind of large-scale Litigation counts as a waste of judicial resources, counts as making a mountain out of a molehill, counts as... ruthless!"

This was what Zhou Yi needed these people to be clear about. Joining Tengda, they certainly couldn't be like they were when they worked as lawyers before.

When working as lawyers, it was for the sake of making money; some very troublesome and trivial cases that didn't pay much were simply not taken by anyone.

For example, his own previous noise disturbance case; normally, no lawyer would take it, and they would all tell you that it wasn't worth it.

Even if you won, it would be useless.

But joining Tengda, one must uphold a philosophy: this society needs more people who reason!

Anyone can do big things, but only in small things can you see the problems!

Zhou Yi's words left the five people deep in thought.

Liu Kang was also thinking; his previous mindset was exactly the kind Zhou Yi mentioned—to take on big cases, cases with great influence, preferably lawsuits involving celebrities!

Only then can one become famous, and only then can one become a great Lawyer.

However, Zhou Yi's words made him feel that, as a Lawyer, it indeed seems necessary to start from some small aspects.

Laws are established for people to follow.

Otherwise, if no Lawyer would take a case because the matter is too small, then what is the point of having this law?

For the sake of appearances? Or to make it harder for those taking the legal examinations?

While Zhou Yi was interviewing everyone there, on the other side, in Modu, Zhao Yi was chatting with a colleague.

Their work was not that busy; this kind of business is done one deal at a time.

While talking and wiping the counter, Zhao Yi looked at the door from time to time to see if any young and wealthy clients would come in.

She wanted to find such a boyfriend, because it was very clear that she could not establish herself in Modu on her own.

Just then, her mobile phone rang; she picked it up to look, but did not recognize the number.

However, she still answered it, and a voice sounded from the phone.

"Hello, may I ask if this is Zhao Yi? I am calling from the Ningchang District Court..."

Clack! She hung up the phone, and Zhao Yi said with an impatient look, "How come there are more and more scammers these days."

"What's wrong?" a colleague nearby asked.

"Someone called saying they were from the Court; it's really amusing."

The colleague nearby laughed and said, "Next time they call, just say you're calling the police; there are police right next to you."

As it turned out, no sooner had the words been spoken than Zhao Yi's phone rang again.

"Hello, I have already called the police, and there are police right next to me!"

"Please let the police officer next to you answer the phone so we can communicate with them. I am indeed from the Ningchang District Court. The Summons and other materials have already been sent; you can click the link in the text message to view them..."

Listening to the content on the phone, Zhao Yi was stunned.

I... have been sued, and it's a Criminal Private Prosecution?

The first update is here, and there is one more chapter.
