Chapter 138: Classic Arrogance, Su Bai: I Will Knock Your Head Crooked.

After Quan’an Insurance’s legal affairs department received the court summons.

They immediately convened a discussion.

The issue discussed was how this accusation should be handled.

Inside the legal affairs office.

Wang Haiyang, director of Quan’an Insurance’s legal affairs department, placed the court summons and some other materials on the table and spoke:

“This time our legal affairs department has been accused of saying that we induced customers who purchased insurance into conduct involving infringement of the legal rights of others, and in the litigation application submitted by the other side, they even submitted that we are suspected of intentional false accusation.”

“This case was handled by the two of you, Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin.”

“The two of you speak about it… how should this matter be handled…”

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin, as old legal sticks.

Had long since become accustomed to this kind of litigation application and accusation.

They did not take it to heart at all.

Li Shuangjun expressed indifferently: “This matter is easy to handle, if he wants to sue then let him sue… if he can win then consider him formidable.”

“Insurance fraud and still has reason…?”

“The fact that we submitted it for filing means that we had reasonable basis proving the other side committed insurance fraud… regardless of what methods were used, the judgment has already been determined, on what basis does he say we intentionally made a false accusation?”

Gu Bin nodded: “The various signs from the other side all indicate that there is a certain suspicion of insurance fraud, there is absolutely no problem in our filing the case against him.”

“Besides, we only carried out normal legal questioning and transferred the matter to the judicial organs, what does it mean that we are still suspected of intentional false accusation…?”

“Which law firm accepted this case, this is pure nonsense!”

“Directly do not bother with him, however he wants to sue let him sue, when the court notifies the hearing we only need to go once…”

Gu Bin’s tone carried dissatisfaction, and then he continued speaking:

“Director Wang, our company has quite a lot of this kind of cases, there is already a normal procedure, there is no need to hold a meeting, correct…?”

After hearing the two men’s words, Wang Haiyang unscrewed his goji berry tea cup, drank a sip of water, and only then slowly spoke:

“Under ordinary circumstances, indeed there is no need to hold a meeting for discussion, but this time the situation is different.”

“It is somewhat special.”

Gu Bin pursued the question: “Special? Director Wang, what do these words mean…?”

Wang Haiyang pushed the court summons and the basic information of the other side’s lawsuit forward:

“The two of you look yourselves at the court summons and the specific contents regarding the law firm entrusted by the other side.”

Gu Bin took the summons and the information on the law firm entrusted by the other side, and after roughly browsing through it, he slightly frowned.

Li Shuangjun noticed that Gu Bin’s expression was not quite right, and while taking the materials he asked:

“What is it? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become serious…?”

“It is an ordinary case, there should not be any major problem, correct?”

While Li Shuangjun was speaking, he also looked toward the materials.

When he saw the name of the law firm on the information regarding the law firm entrusted by the other side, he was silent for several seconds, and with several degrees of seriousness in his voice said:

“The other side is Baijun law Firm…? The entrusted lawyer is Su Bai?”

“This lawsuit indeed has become somewhat difficult to fight…”

Now in the Nandu legal circle, the name Baijun law Firm was not unfamiliar.

First, Baijun law Firm’s business was famous, especially the lawsuits handled by Su Bai were comparatively famous and typical.

Second, it cooperated with Haifang law Firm.

Now it could be said that Baijun law Firm had also squeezed into the circle of first rate law firms, especially in criminal matters, where it could be said to be top tier.

After Li Shuangjun finished speaking, he thought for several seconds, and then continued speaking.

“However the other side mainly handles criminal cases, although our case involves criminal matters, if examined deeply, it is still an insurance issue.”

“Our legal affairs side should understand insurance issues better than a criminal lawyer, correct?”

Wang Haiyang nodded: “Not to mention first whose research into legal issues is deeper.”

“The most critical thing is not this, but rather the influence generated by Baijun law Firm in litigation…

If this matter becomes serious, then for our Quan’an Insurance, the loss would be too great.”

“Nandu Bank is the typical example.”

“Now on Nandu Bank’s side, because the influence of the previous incident became so great, the current performance situation, according to what I heard from their legal affairs side, has declined by at least thirty percent.”

“Regarding the influence generated by this case, I consulted the responsible person, and the responsible person’s meaning was that if a settlement can be reached then reach a settlement… do not continue enlarging the influence, at worst just pay the insurance amount to that what party concerned.”

“So as to avoid creating unnecessary trouble.”

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin nodded.

Only then did Wang Haiyang continue speaking:

“The main key issue is still settlement, have the other side withdraw the incidental civil litigation and accusation against us, as for the criminal penalty for insurance fraud, that is not our problem, do you understand?”

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin both nodded: “Director Wang, we understand.”

“Mm! On the court side, it is estimated that both sides of the litigation will also be proposed for mediation, when the time comes during mediation simply lower your attitude and state compensation…

That what He Dongsheng, probably has not seen much money, when the time comes say a few words, it will probably be enough.”

“If it truly does not work then discuss it privately again, let the other side withdraw the accusation against us.”

Regarding the method for resolving this case, Wang Haiyang instructed them with two sentences.

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin simultaneously nodded: “Okay, Director Wang.”

On the court side.

Generally speaking.

In civil litigation, most cases do not reach the stage of a court hearing.

For cases involving civil disputes, generally mediation is first conducted, and only if mediation fails is litigation procedure then followed.

Inside the court’s mediation waiting room.

There was some nervous twisting in He Dongsheng’s body, and he was afraid that some problem might arise in the mediation of this lawsuit, several times wanting to speak yet stopping, wanting to ask questions.

But afterwards he suppressed it again.

Su Bai saw through He Dongsheng’s thoughts and asked: “At present this is only court intervention to carry out mediation, there is no need to be nervous.”

“You only need to maintain your demands, and the rest can be left to me…”

“Do not worry, there will be no problem.”

“And according to my judgment, in order to reduce the influence of the matter, the other side is very likely to propose settlement and request compensation to you, regarding this, what do you think…?”

“If you want settlement, you can tell me with a hand gesture, I will strive for the greatest settlement benefit for you.”

He Dongsheng pressed his lips together, and after remaining silent for several seconds said: “Lawyer Su I do not want settlement, I only need to get back that portion of money that belongs to me, for the rest, no matter how much more is given, I do not want it, I only want what ought to belong to me.”

“Mm! I understand!”

Su Bai nodded.

At the side, after Li Xuezhen noticed the expression on He Dongsheng’s face, she lightly exhaled.

He encountered danger at work, and bought insurance in advance. Not only did the other side refuse to pay, they also deliberately guided matters and filed a case.

After He Dongsheng had suffered so many things, he still had not opened his mouth like a lion and demanded compensation from the other side.

Thinking of this, a trace of anger appeared on Little Li’s face.

On what basis should good people suffer these things…

Truly, this insurance company was too bad…

At the same time.

Inside another mediation waiting room.

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin did not place too much importance on the mediation of this case, thinking in their hearts that as long as they paid money the matter would be over.

Very quickly.

The court mediator brought both parties into the mediation room, preparing to carry out mediation regarding the civil dispute.

Su Bai’s side sat on the left side of the mediation room, while Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin sat on the right side of the mediation room.

The mediator looked once and saw that all personnel from both sides had already arrived, and slowly spoke:

“Now, as the Nandu Intermediate People’s Court, I will mediate the dispute aspects between both sides.”

“Quan’an Insurance Company side, as the side being sued, are you willing to mediate? He Dongsheng, are you willing to mediate?”

Su Bai: “Willing.”

Li Shuangjun: “Willing.”

“Mm!”

“Since both sides are willing to mediate, then let us discuss settlement demands.”

Before He Dongsheng had spoken, Li Shuangjun spoke:

“Regarding the other side accusing our legal affairs side of having guided the filing of a case, our side states that this point is untrue, and with respect to the other side requiring us to make compensation in terms of insurance, our side also believes that this is extremely unreasonable.”

“However this case concerns the image issue of our Quan’an Insurance Company, and in addition, out of sympathy for the experience of the party concerned.”

“We are willing, out of humanitarianism, to compensate the party He Dongsheng with 300,000.”

“This is the maximum amount our side can compensate, and it also expresses our side’s sincerity for settlement.”

“We also ask that the other side carefully consider it.”

Tsk tsk…

Regarding the many things Li Shuangjun said, Su Bai pulled at the corners of his mouth.

A humanitarian compensation of 300,000? And then nothing happened?

The attitude of the other side truly was arrogant!

Should this not be enough to knock the other side’s skull crooked?

After Li Shuangjun finished speaking, the mediator again cast his gaze upon He Dongsheng.

“Party concerned, are you willing to mediate?”

At this time, Su Bai spoke: “I, as the agent of the party concerned, and moreover as the fully empowered agent, have the right to speak.”

“If the other side only offers a compensation amount of 300,000, then our side refuses settlement.”

“And I believe what the other side should give us is not a compensation amount, but rather a legal sense damages amount.”

“The meanings of these two are different…”

“If the other side is willing to compensate the insurance amount due to our side, and furthermore acknowledges that the accusation and filing against our side were improper accusations, then our side is willing to settle.”

At first glance, the demand raised by Su Bai seemed simple, but in reality it directly slapped the other side across the face twice.

A compensation amount and a damages amount are two concepts.

Compensation may be described as humanitarian compensation, and has no legal relationship.

But damages are different, damages have a legal relationship, if you do not pay damages then it is not acceptable.

The most critical part was still the latter one, determining that the accusation and filing belonged to improper accusation.

If this were so determined, then the court side would revoke the criminal punishment against He Dongsheng, and on this basis determine that Quan’an Insurance had responsibility for malicious accusation.

These were conditions that Quan’an Insurance was completely unable to accept.

After hearing Su Bai’s settlement demands, Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin simultaneously frowned.

This was a settlement demand?

This was obviously the other side deliberately making things difficult for them, correct!

Li Shuangjun looked at Su Bai and slowly spoke: “Lawyer Su, on the Quan’an Insurance side, we have already offered our sincerity, we also ask Lawyer Su to bring out your sincerity…”

Sincerity?

You call compensation of 300,000 sincerity?

When you guided the man and then filed a case against him, why did you not say so then?

Besides, according to He Dongsheng’s insured amount, the insurance compensation that should have been paid had already reached more than 900,000.

You are now compensating 300,000, and saying that I have already reached my maximum sincerity.

Is this not pure comedy?

When you say these words, are you not making things difficult for us?

Su Bai’s expression was calm, and he shook his head: “This is also our minimum settlement requirement.”

Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin looked at each other, and then spoke again: “Lawyer Su, if that is the case, how about each side taking one step back, we are willing to make compensation.”

“The compensation amount can be raised somewhat more, I wonder whether this would be acceptable?”

Su Bai shook his head and restated once: “Since the settlement demand raised by Quan’an Insurance cannot satisfy our side’s demands, then our side believes there is no need for this mediation to continue.”

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the mediator.

“Mediator, we will not continue the mediation.”

“Mm!”

The mediator nodded. The mediator had conducted a certain understanding of this case, and both sides clung to their own version of events, which originally already made mediation difficult.

He had also long foreseen this result and did not say anything further.

The settlement failed.

After Li Shuangjun and Gu Bin walked out of the court, they looked at each other.

Li Shuangjun: “The other side rejected our conditions, now what should be done?”

Gu Bin rubbed his brow and spoke:

“That Su Bai, as the fully empowered agent, understands the law and also has confidence in this case, indeed this is somewhat troublesome, and besides, the compensation of 300,000 that we offered perhaps truly was somewhat low.”

“How about this…”

“Go find that party concerned one more time, let him directly revoke the litigation agency, directly start from the party concerned side, it will also be somewhat simpler.”

“Mm!”

“This also works…”

Li Shuangjun nodded, agreeing with Gu Bin’s viewpoint.

Directly from the party concerned side, letting He Dongsheng revoke the litigation, indeed was somewhat simpler, and they would not need to face that Su Bai anymore.

Li Shuangjun lightly exhaled: “Then let it be like this…”

“I will go contact him…”

“Mm, pay attention, do not let any mishap occur.”

“Do not worry… there will be no problem, besides, we are only carrying out settlement, what problem could there be?”

“Do not worry do not worry…”

Li Shuangjun spoke repeatedly.

Then in the evening, he called He Dongsheng once.

“Regarding the content of the mediation, our side is willing to discuss it in more detail…”

After hanging up the telephone, Li Shuangjun smiled.

The other side had already agreed to continue mediation, and after setting aside that Su Bai, it was estimated there would not be any major problem.

But what Li Shuangjun absolutely had not expected was that after hanging up the telephone, He Dongsheng immediately called Su Bai, with a trace of excitement mixed into his voice.

“Lawyer Su… that what Quan’an Insurance person, really just like you said, called me, and said he wanted to discuss it again…”

Su Bai smiled: “Mm! Then just discuss it again according to their request… but remember the several points I reminded you of.”

“Okay Lawyer Su, do not worry…”

After hearing He Dongsheng’s words, Su Bai smiled.

For this Quan’an Insurance, in order to make He Dongsheng withdraw the litigation accusing them…

They truly had taken painstaking trouble!

But the other side probably could not imagine that beneath their feet there were pits everywhere…

It was estimated that only after they reacted would they discover that they had already fallen into the pit…
