Chapter 163: What About the Presiding Judge? He Can Still Be Sent In All the Same!

The mediation could be considered concluded…

Su Bai took Zhang Dahu and left the court.

On the road.

Zhang Dahu asked somewhat worriedly: “Lawyer Su… we have offended the court staff just like this…”

“When the hearing begins, there will not be any problem, right…?”

Su Bai smiled: “Do not worry… there will not be any problem with this case.”

This case.

Simply speaking, it was impossible for there to be a problem.

Not to mention the mediator…

Even if, during the hearing, the members of the collegial panel were to render a judgment without a factual basis, it would still be necessary to contend on the basis of reason!

What if one could not contend?

If one could not contend, then it was very simple, afterward one would initiate prosecutorial review, and that would settle it directly.

This was only the first instance, and if you render judgment against me without evidence.

Although I may lose in court at first instance, I can still apply for a second instance.

Moreover, during the second instance, while doing so, I can also send the presiding judge in, that should not be much of a problem, right?

Basically there was no problem at all.

Su Bai was already very practiced in this sort of matter, several adjudicators and personnel from other departments had already been sent in.

It could be said that he was completely familiar with the process.

Seeing that worry still remained on Zhang Dahu’s face, Su Bai also knew what Zhang Dahu was thinking…

First, the amount of compensation in this case was indeed not small, 400,000 yuan in compensation was very high for an ordinary family.

If the principal economic support of an ordinary family, at a rate higher than the average income, earned 10,000 yuan per month, then in order to save 400,000 yuan through extreme frugality, it would still require at least four years.

But this could only be achieved under extremely ideal circumstances.

There was also a second point… if one performed a good deed and was then blackmailed, and if compensation were truly ordered…

Without even speaking of the money, there would be gossip within the family, complaints from the wife, and so forth.

After one or two such developments, perhaps people would even say that one acted bravely for a just cause and in the end obtained nothing whatsoever, and so on…

This would cause a double wound, both spiritual and material.

Regarding these matters, Su Bai could understand Zhang Dahu’s concern.

Su Bai smiled and said: “Do not worry, there will not be any problem, the law is fair and just, our legal system is sound, and no matter what, it will restore justice to you.”

At this moment Zhang Long also smiled at the side and added:

“Brother, you do not know how formidable Lawyer Su is in our legal world, the lawyer you found before could at most be considered a second rate lawyer, but Lawyer Su is top tier!”

“Just rest assured, if this lawsuit cannot be won, Lawyer Su can send in even the one striking the hammer!”

After hearing Zhang Long’s words, Zhang Dahu turned his head and looked at Zhang Long somewhat in surprise: “Really…?”

“Of course it is true, Brother, do not disbelieve it, would I deceive you? Guaranteed genuine!”

“What about the presiding judge? If he violates the law, Lawyer Su will still send him in all the same!”

Zhang Long spoke excitedly.

Zhang Dahu cast an astonished gaze upon Su Bai.

Su Bai smiled and did not speak…

On the eve of parting, Su Bai took a recording pen out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Dahu.

Before Zhang Dahu could speak, Su Bai explained: “This is to be kept for evidentiary purposes, previously when Chen Meixia threatened you, no evidence was left behind…”

“If the other side threatens you again… then record it, especially threats from those two sons of hers.”

The elderly lady Chen Meixia looked rather advanced in age, and according to legal provisions, once a person has reached seventy five years of age, the punishment will be lighter or mitigated.

In a case like this, in which extortion had not achieved its objective, the probability was high that she would merely receive a suspended sentence and no compulsory execution would be imposed.

But those two sons were different, they obviously had not yet reached that age.

If they truly sought to carry out extortion, and evidence were obtained.

Then there would be no need to have the relevant law enforcement departments collect evidence, one could directly take the audio recording evidence and file the case.

“Alright… thank you, Lawyer Su. Lawyer Su… how much is this recording pen? I will transfer the money to you now.”

Zhang Dahu asked.

Su Bai smiled and shook his head: “Let us speak of it when the legal fees are settled, there is no need to hurry for now.”

This sort of thing was generally included within the relevant legal fees.

“Oh oh… alright, Lawyer Su, thank you for the trouble…”

Inside Baijun law Firm.

Inside the office.

Su Bai called Li Xuezhen in, his face full of smiles.

Before he had even begun to speak, Li Xuezhen suddenly said:

“Lawyer Su, is there anything in this case that you need me to do?”

“You can rest assured… I guarantee that I will complete the task!”

Li Xuezhen’s voice was firm, and her face was full of seriousness and earnestness.

Su Bai: ……

????

No, I have not even said what the matter is yet…

How had she learned to answer in advance, what did this mean, I had not yet opened my mouth.

“I have not said anything yet, how do you know what I am going to say?”

Su Bai slightly raised his head and looked at Li Xuezhen.

Li Xuezhen was utterly serious, then spoke in a weak voice:

“Lawyer Su, every time you call me into the office… or arrange a task for me, your face is always full of smiles.”

“Today when I came into the office and saw your expression, I guessed it…”

Su Bai: ???

Was this what was called practice making perfect?

Very well, very well, it seemed that next time he could not use the same routine.

The pure female university student was no longer dull!

Li Xuezhen’s small face was proud: of course I am not dull, most of the time I am very clever, alright!

Cough cough.

Su Bai coughed twice dryly, easing the atmosphere, and only then spoke: “It is like this…”

“Mediation has now already failed, and previously did we not refrain from going to the law enforcement unit to obtain the relevant statement materials…”

“Your task is to follow the formal procedure and obtain this material, can you complete this task…?”

Li Xuezhen smiled with narrowed eyes:

“Lawyer Su, you can rest assured, I guarantee that I will complete the task!”

Worldly savoir faire.

Very easy…

After Li Xuezhen left the office…

Su Bai drank a sip of tea, and if no accident occurred in this case, then there should not be any accident.

Very soon.

By relying on worldly savoir faire, Li Xuezhen retrieved the relevant materials.

And handed them to Su Bai.

After Su Bai finished reading the relevant materials, he nodded: “Under these circumstances, there is basically no problem anymore…”

As the time of the hearing approached.

Nandu East District Court.

Inside a certain office.

Qian Wei was sitting in the office drinking a sip of tea, and after placing the teacup on the desk, he was preparing to get up and report for work, when suddenly the telephone rang.

Qian Wei lowered his head and looked, it was a call from his old friend, and after connecting it he smiled:

“Old Li… when did you happen to have time to remember to call me?”

“It is still that matter… did I not have our court’s mediator conduct mediation? What? The mediation was not completed, is that it?”

“No wonder, that court mediator also did not tell me about this matter, and I did not really understand it, it was only today when you called to tell me that I learned of it.”

“Alright, alright, so the other side did not accept mediation and it absolutely must go through court procedure, is that it?”

“Alright, alright… I understand, there is not much of a problem, the issue in this case is not significant, it is mainly just a civil lawsuit… I know, I know, alright, alright, alright.”

“Yes…”

“I have already understood this case, and it basically does not differ much from what you said, I know… do not worry, do not worry…”

“Basically there is no problem… the main issue lies in the evidence, there is indeed a slight problem in the evidence, but it is not too important.”

“Alright, alright… I know all about this matter, mm, I have some work right now, I need to get busy, so I will hang up first…”

After hanging up the telephone…

Qian Wei made a brief note of this matter.

As a presiding judge, he tried quite a few cases every month, and civil lawsuits of this sort were much easier to try than criminal lawsuits.

Therefore, Qian Wei did not attach too much importance to it, and went on to report for work.

The time until the hearing grew shorter and shorter.

Very soon.

The hearing time was almost upon them.

This hearing… to be honest, could only be considered a small civil lawsuit.

Inside the waiting room.

Su Bai, Li Xuezhen, and Zhang Dahu sat together in the waiting room.

Li Xuezhen’s expression was somewhat dejected…

Because she had already asked Su Bai, and this case seemed to be only a small civil lawsuit…

Although the other side had made threats and engaged in extortion, there was no evidence to file a case…

Even if it were raised and the law enforcement department were made to conduct procedural review, the probability was high that no evidence could be found.

Could it be that no one could be sent in?

Dejected…

Huh…

Li Xuezhen lowered her head, her small face helpless.

Seeing this, Su Bai smiled: “Assistant Li, which lesson have we reached in our course?”

Li Xuezhen slightly raised her head, her mind spinning rapidly, then softly spoke:

“The twelfth lesson…?”

Actually… Su Bai himself had almost forgotten this as well, but he still smiled and nodded.

“Good!”

“Today I will teach you the thirteenth lesson, namely that as lawyers, since we have accepted an entrusted case, whether it is a big case or a small case, we must give it our full effort…”

“To complete the client’s entrustment and litigation application…”

“If, because the case is small, one performs one’s work negatively and slackly, then one cannot be considered a competent lawyer, do you understand?”

“Lift your spirits!”

If one dislikes a case for being small, one may completely refuse the entrustment, but one may not accept the entrustment while also handling it perfunctorily.

If that were the case, then what difference would there be between that and an unscrupulous lawyer, would that not plainly be smashing one’s own reputation?

Moreover, it would seriously affect the client’s litigation application and infringe upon the client’s legal rights.

Simply speaking, and to summarize slightly, that would be an unscrupulous lawyer.

After hearing this, Li Xuezhen nodded heavily, then hurriedly explained:

“Lawyer Su… I did not… I was only thinking about some other matters.”

“I was not being irresponsible toward this case.”

Su Bai smiled and nodded.

He knew what Li Xuezhen was thinking, and he also understood in his heart that Li Xuezhen had not treated this case perfunctorily.

However…

Was it not still necessary to teach a lesson first, so as to avoid such a situation arising in the future…

If Baijun law Firm wished to develop, then it certainly needed to have a good reputation, one may refuse to accept a case, but once it has been accepted one must be responsible to the client.

This was Su Bai’s bottom line as a lawyer.

“Alright… I know… prepare to enter.”

“Oh.”

“Alright, Lawyer Su!”

At the very moment Su Bai’s words fell, the relevant court staff led the various parties into the hearing.

After each side had taken their seats.

Across from them, Chen Meixia and her relatives kept glaring at Zhang Dahu, and along with that they also looked at Su Bai and Li Xuezhen.

Li Xuezhen: ???

No, how do you dare glare at us?

In the courtroom, the destructive power of my gaze and my eyes has never once been weak!

Li Xuezhen looked back at them.

Chen Meixia muttered something under her breath that no one knew, and silently withdrew her gaze.
