Chapter 139: Private Inducement to Settle, Mastering the Evidence

Su Bai had previously conducted an investigation into the litigation situation of Quan’an Insurance through the Judgment Network and the Enforcement Information Network.

Quan’an Insurance had a considerable insurance business scale within Nandu.

As for its reputation, Su Bai was not clear.

However, judging from the Judgment Network and the Enforcement Information Network, Quan’an Insurance had quite a number of lawsuits against it.

In particular, the lawsuits in which the insurance purchasers proposed insurance compensation, while Quan’an Insurance refused to pay those high insurance amounts through various reasons and various means, were the most numerous.

From this point alone, its reputation was probably not very good.

Then if He Dongsheng’s case became widely publicized, the impact on Quan’an Insurance’s credibility would be enormous.

Quan’an Insurance could not bear this loss of credibility and would certainly want to eliminate the impact.

Based on the above judgment, Su Bai determined that if Quan’an Insurance could not reach a settlement under the mediation of the court, then it would certainly want to avoid the consequences that it might suffer in the event that it lost the lawsuit through other means.

The best method was to let He Dongsheng withdraw the lawsuit.

To withdraw the accusation against Quan’an Insurance.

This was the simplest and most effective method, so when Su Bai left the court after the failure of mediation, he had already informed He Dongsheng in advance.

He told He Dongsheng that if the legal personnel of Quan’an Insurance contacted him and prepared to conduct a private settlement, he could agree, but he must notify him.

Moreover, Su Bai had already given instructions regarding the relevant preparations and matters.

He let He Dongsheng negotiate well with the other party.

Su Bai took a sip of tea and let out a long breath.

Next, what remained to be seen was how He Dongsheng would negotiate with the other party and what kind of conditions the other party would propose.

If the other party still had the suspicion of continuing inducement as before, then tsk tsk.

Quan’an Insurance Legal Department.

Li Shuangjun reported work to Wang Haiyang.

“Director Wang, during today’s mediation in court, that Su Bai from Baijun law Firm directly made excessive demands, requiring not only that our company provide compensation exceeding the amount, but also saying that our company should issue a public announcement declaring that the accusation against He Dongsheng belonged to an improper accusation. That was approximately the meaning.”

“Gu Bin and I refused the mediation.”

Wang Haiyang slightly frowned. “This Baijun law Firm really dares to make demands!”

“What difference is there between the settlement conditions he proposed and directly letting us lose the lawsuit?!”

“Then what happened next? After refusing the mediation what was done?”

Li Shuangjun smiled and said, “Director Wang, you can rest assured. I have already contacted that He Dongsheng privately.”

“He agreed to conduct a private settlement with our company. I feel that he is dissatisfied with the compensation amount from our company. At that time we only need to slightly increase the compensation amount and directly let him withdraw the lawsuit against our Quan’an Insurance.”

“Letting the party withdraw this case, will there be any problems in the middle?”

Wang Haiyang looked at Li Shuangjun and asked a question.

Li Shuangjun smiled and shook his head.

“Director Wang, this person He Dongsheng had been contacted previously by Gu Bin before the filing investigation in the first instance. He does not have much educational level, the place where he works is also inside a factory, his surrounding social circle is small, he cannot come into contact with many people, and he does not understand much about the law, so there will not be any problems.”

After hearing these words, Wang Haiyang slightly nodded.

“Alright, then handle this matter properly and do not let any accidents occur.”

“Alright Director Wang.”

Li Shuangjun nodded, and immediately afterwards walked out of the director’s office, then went to other departments to print several copies of materials.

After greeting Gu Bin, he left the company and went to the place where He Dongsheng was located.

He Dongsheng’s place of residence was in an urban village area of Nandu.

This area had not been planned by the Nandu authorities and still belonged to a dirty and disorderly area with poor conditions.

According to the address given by Gu Bin and after contacting He Dongsheng, after walking for nearly ten minutes, Li Shuangjun finally found He Dongsheng’s home.

He Dongsheng’s home only had a two storey self built house constructed one or two decades ago, but although it was a building, it could be clearly seen that the building was old and had not been maintained.

The sofas and benches in the house were all very old, there was not much furniture, and it appeared that the family was relatively poor.

After noticing these things, Li Shuangjun had a clear understanding in his mind.

On the stool, Li Shuangjun faced He Dongsheng and smiled as he spoke.

“Hello, I am from the legal department of Quan’an Insurance. We met during the mediation in court.”

“The previous telephone call was also made by me. This time I came mainly to discuss privately again our mediation and settlement matters.”

He Dongsheng nodded. “Alright.”

Li Shuangjun smiled and did not directly enter the main topic at the beginning, but after looking around the environment inside He Dongsheng’s house, he began to engage in casual conversation.

“This house of yours has already been built for many years, it looks somewhat old, do you have any plans to renovate it?”

“I also heard that your mother is ill, the monthly hospitalization expenses should require quite a lot of money, right?”

“You now no longer have work. What plans do you have next? Our Quan’an Insurance has a warehouse security position that can solve your employment problem.”

Li Shuangjun planned to first begin from He Dongsheng’s psychological condition.

For He Dongsheng, what was he most lacking?

What he most lacked was money.

Several aspects that he had just mentioned all required money, and required quite a lot of money, and this money was something that He Dongsheng could not produce.

This also made a psychological preset preparation for the compensation he would later propose to the other party.

After noticing that He Dongsheng’s gaze had changed, Li Shuangjun smiled.

“What I just said was all casual conversation. Below is the main matter.”

“The relevant matters, we have already generally discussed clearly after the telephone call.”

“Next let us talk about the specific matters.”

Li Shuangjun displayed a friendly attitude and spoke with a smile.

He Dongsheng nodded, but his tone changed.

“Last time one of your colleagues came to find me, and then after returning the case was filed.”

“Hehe.”

Hearing this, Li Shuangjun smiled, as if he had already expected it, and took out a voice recorder from the pocket of his clothes.

“This is a voice recorder. I have already turned it on. Next all our conversations will be recorded in it and can serve as legal evidence. I have placed the voice recorder here.”

“If during our conversation I do anything that violates the law, you can completely rely on the content in this voice recorder to accuse me. In this way you should be reassured, right?”

Seeing that He Dongsheng’s expression had eased considerably, Li Shuangjun was just about to continue speaking, but he did not expect that He Dongsheng would directly ask a question.

“Last time that colleague of yours deliberately tried to trap me into speaking. I need compensation.”

Li Shuangjun’s expression slightly changed, and after calming his emotions he then spoke.

“I am not too clear about this matter. Let us still talk about today’s main compensation matters.”

“You agreed to meet. I think you also have an understanding in your heart that your current economic situation is not very good. Regarding this our Quan’an Insurance has conducted an understanding.”

“You also know that our company attaches importance to credibility issues with customers.”

“As long as you withdraw the accusation against our company, our company is willing to compensate you six hundred thousand yuan, including your medical expenses, which our insurance company can also reimburse.”

“This condition is already the highest standard that I applied for from the company. Since this is a matter of discussing money, you can also put forward your own ideas. Although I cannot guarantee agreement, I can return and report them.”

Li Shuangjun’s attitude appeared sincere.

However what he did not expect was that He Dongsheng directly shook his head.

“I do not want to discuss money. I only want your company to withdraw the accusation against me and compensate my insurance amount. I do not want anything else.”

“Withdrawing this is a court judgment. We do not have the ability, but regarding compensation matters we can still discuss further.”

“No. I only want you to normally withdraw and normally compensate my insurance.”

Seeing the firmness on He Dongsheng’s face, Li Shuangjun stared closely at He Dongsheng.

Originally he had thought that this He Dongsheng would be easy to handle, but he had not expected that there was still some trouble.

After thinking for a moment,

Li Shuangjun smiled and said, “You see your mother is still ill. Are you prepared to continue delaying like this? You must know that filing a lawsuit is a very troublesome matter, and moreover you may not necessarily win this lawsuit. I think our settlement is the best choice for you.”

“What do you think?”

He Dongsheng said, “I do not think so.”

Li Shuangjun was somewhat losing patience because of He Dongsheng. Since the other party had agreed to a private settlement and now he had come, what did the other party mean by doing this again?

Was he dissatisfied that the money was too little?

Li Shuangjun sat in his position and straightened his body.

“To speak honestly, in fact the lowest bottom line that we offered is eight hundred thousand. As long as you agree to withdraw the lawsuit, eight hundred thousand compensation!”

“According to your salary level, seven thousand per month, more than eighty thousand per year, it would require approximately ten years without eating or drinking to obtain eight hundred thousand. This is our final bottom line.”

“If you agree, then we can now sign the settlement agreement.”

“If you do not agree, then we will meet in court! Our company only offered such a high compensation in order to avoid trouble, but if you go to court and lose the lawsuit, then there will not be even one cent of compensation!”

Li Shuangjun’s tone carried a trace of pressure.

He Dongsheng’s expression was dull and he shook his head. “I still only want what I should obtain.”

“Alright!”

Li Shuangjun nodded. “Since it is like this, then we will meet in court. Before the hearing you still have the opportunity to regret, but once the hearing begins you will no longer have the opportunity to regret.”

Li Shuangjun packed his things while paying attention to the expression on He Dongsheng’s face.

After confirming that there was no expression of hesitation on He Dongsheng’s face, he left He Dongsheng’s home with slight irritation.

After Li Shuangjun left, He Dongsheng let out a long breath and took out a voice recorder from his pocket.

Although he did not know what purpose Su Bai had in letting him make the recording, he understood that since Lawyer Su had given this instruction, then it showed that this was very important.

What compensation of eight hundred thousand?

He did not believe a single word of what the legal department of Quan’an Insurance said.

Baijun law Firm.

Inside the office.

“Lawyer Su, I recorded the entire process according to your request. This is the voice recorder.”

He Dongsheng handed the voice recorder to Su Bai.

After receiving the voice recorder, Su Bai opened the relevant recording inside it.

He smiled and nodded.

“Alright. This voice recorder is equivalent to relatively important evidence.”

“If the other party continues to contact you, you can still preserve the content of the conversation.”

After finishing speaking, Su Bai took out three voice recorders from the drawer again.

He handed them to He Dongsheng.

He Dongsheng nodded. “Alright Lawyer Su.”

After He Dongsheng left, Su Bai looked toward the drawer.

There were quite a number of voice recorders placed inside the drawer.

After counting them carefully, there were at least about thirty.

Hiss.

Being a lawyer, without a voice recorder, there is a lack of sense of security.

Playing again the content of the conversation between Li Shuangjun and He Dongsheng, Su Bai slightly nodded.

This court hearing should not have any major problems.

Beside him, Li Xuezhen’s small face was slightly excited.

Tsk tsk tsk.

It was unknown whether this time she could add achievement points.

Hu.

At the same time.

Quan’an Insurance Legal Department.

Li Shuangjun reported the progress of this private mediation to Wang Haiyang.

“Director Wang, that He Dongsheng refused our settlement conditions.”

Wang Haiyang: ???

“Did you not previously say that on He Dongsheng’s side it would be easy to withdraw the lawsuit? Why did he refuse our settlement conditions?”

“Did you lower the settlement compensation amount too much?”

Li Shuangjun shook his head.

“No. I even increased the compensation amount to eight hundred thousand, but the other party still refused to settle with us, and the statement was the same as before during the court mediation. He required that we withdraw the accusation against him before he would agree to settle.”

Wang Haiyang slightly frowned and remembered a key matter.

“When Gu Bin guided He Dongsheng at that time, did he leave any key evidence?”

“This should not have happened.”

As an experienced legal practitioner, such a low level mistake could not be committed.

After hearing these words, Wang Haiyang nodded. “Alright.”

Since the other party did not agree to settle, then there was no other method, so there would be no settlement and they would directly meet in court.”

“You and Gu Bin should prepare well. At that time during the court hearing, it will be sufficient as long as no problems appear.”

“The accusation against us from the other party may not necessarily be established.”

“Understood.”

Li Shuangjun nodded.

The reason why they were willing to settle this case in essence was that they were afraid that some unexpected situation or some negative influence might appear.

But since the other party was unwilling to conduct a settlement, then there was only the path of litigation.

Not allowing any negative influence to appear was also very simple.

It was to defeat the other party in the court hearing.

Although Baijun law Firm was a top tier criminal law firm in Nandu, they in Quan’an Legal were also all experienced legal practitioners.

Moreover, during the court mediation and the private mediation, Li Shuangjun had been holding back a stomach full of anger.

Unexpected situations?

Unexpected situations would not appear!
