Chapter 856: Chapter 856: More Than Just a Lawsuit Chapter 856: Chapter 856: More Than Just a Lawsuit Elder Sister Lou’s family sent her youngest brother, who is now forty-nine years old, and he also brought along his daughter who had just graduated from college.
After all, he was a man, and it wasn’t particularly convenient for him to take care of his elder sister, so having his daughter by his side was a good thing.
Feng Jun felt a bit gloomy upon seeing another whole family arriving; he always felt that when a family was together, the likelihood of trouble increased sowhat.
It was not only the Lou family mbers who were curious, but even the guests staying at Luohua Manor grew interested when they learned that Feng Jun had taken on another case, especially Elder Peng who went straight to Feng Jun and asked, “Can I go and see that patient?”
Such curiosity should not be encouraged, but the fact that Elder Peng asked for the host’s opinion in advance showed so sincerity.
Then he discovered, “Oh, it turns out that this woman is Little Lou’s sister.”
Feng Jun realized with frustration: his place might soon beco a venue for various leaders and officials to make acquaintances.
If that were the case, keeping a low profile would be completely impossible, and it could easily attract the attention of the relevant departnts.
Overtly forming cliques was a very taboo matter.
He had originally wanted to find a proxy with Official Governnt backing, but now it seed… the strategy might need adjusting.
However, dealing with the Official Governnt was inevitable, and Sister Hong quickly engaged a law firm, which first firmly established the evidence through the notary office, and then filed a lawsuit against the woman who had posted on Weibo.
The woman’s Weibo had been reposted nearly six thousand tis, far exceeding the threshold of five hundred, constituting a cri.
Among these, Hong Daliang contributed more than ninety percent of the reposts, many of which were from his fans, but many others reposted the link themselves after finding it too troubleso to search for the source.
The court’s reaction was—biased towards diation because they believed that since the defendant had lost her son, in order to maintain social stability, it would be better for everyone to negotiate privately rather than take the matter to court and add insult to the defendant’s injury.
After all, it’s easy for people to behave irrationally when pushed into a corner.
Zhang Weihong’s hired lawyer flatly refused this suggestion: the dead should be left to the dead, slander should be treated as slander, and the two should not be conflated. The defendant’s son’s death had no inevitable connection with the plaintiff, so don’t try to kidnap the law with morality or public opinion.
The lawyer pointed out forcefully that overspreading more than five hundred tis already t the conditions for the cri of defamation, and this concerned a person who was being frad while doing good deeds. If such a person were to succeed, could the court bear the consequences of a severe moral slide?
This type of incident had precedents, such as statents like “If you didn’t cause the fall, why would you help?”
Furthermore, Feng Jun’s prosecution was clear: one billion in damages for reputation loss, and to pursue criminal liability for the other party.
Plainly speaking, he wanted to fight an expensive lawsuit.
The court’s conciliatory approach wasn’t wrong in its initial intention—to maintain stability, but while doing so, it fostered so bad practices.
In the eyes of the lawyer, this was a matter of principle, a question of whether or not morality was in decline, with no room for compromise—well, actually, it was Sister Hong who demanded this.
After hearing this, the other family beca even angrier, with even the male family mbers refusing to agree: “Our family has just experienced a death, and you’re still fixated on this… Let’s go to court, then. Who’s afraid of whom?”
The man’s elder brother, that is, the woman’s brother-in-law, even brought two tax bureau officials to Feng Jun’s door, demanding an inspection of his accounts: “You’ve earned so much money, where does your inco co from, and have you paid your taxes?”
The two were stopped right at the gate and couldn’t even enter.
General Manager Han’s people stood by the coach, watching the commotion, and when the two tax officials heard that the coach belonged to the manor, they ca over and wanted to board to find out what was happening.
Then… they were beaten up and left in a huff.
But once beaten… that was that. These two officials were on a private job, and even after they returned seeking to cause further trouble to regain face, they were scolded by their boss: “Damn it, who asked you to investigate Luohua’s tax status?”
In the end, up to this point, Feng Jun had not established a company, a decision that couldn’t have been wiser.
Subsequently, at the restaurant owned by the injured driver’s elder brother, a group of hoodlums caused trouble. His brother was not one to be trifled with and drove them out, but one hooligan claid to have suffered a concussion and half an hour later, the restaurant was shut down—this was the scene of the incident.
Following that, soone reported the restaurant for using “gutter oil,” and the evaluators realized they couldn’t even enter the restaurant upon arrival.
To be honest, when it cos to underground tactics, ordinary people simply can’t compete with Luohua Manor as it stands now, and there’s no need for Feng Jun to give specific instructions for people to naturally settle these issues for him.
The injured driver was a manager at a telecommunications company, and during his recuperation, he also received a notice from his superiors that his injury had affected the company’s business and they hoped he could “resign with dignity.”
The driver was outraged, saying he had always been diligent at the company and now that he had suffered an accident, they were being incredibly heartless.
The company only ntioned two points, first, you were on vacation when the accident happened, it wasn’t a work-related injury, second, you got into trouble with soone you shouldn’t have.
For the driver, this response was cruel, even though he had just lost his son and was injured himself.
But… he couldn’t get angry because that person indeed saved his life, especially since the signs of his internal bleeding were mild, had he not insisted on being checked imdiately, he might have been finished as well.
He even had more than sixty percent confidence—if his wife hadn’t driven that person away at the ti, their son might have been saved too.
Of course, he harbored resentnt towards the person for not insisting on treating his son, which is why he let his wife have her way.
Now, not only was his son not saved, but because of his wife’s slander, he also lost his job.
His elder brother’s restaurant… was also affected.
However, trouble didn’t end there; his in-laws’ welfare application was halted by the community because they clearly exceeded the standard for welfare—in truth, it was a welfare obtained through manipulation.
Stopping it was one thing, next ca the scrutiny of their legal responsibility, as it already constituted fraud…
Feng Jun had no interest in their situation, what he cared about was “Hong Daliang”. Still, the most Elder Yuan and Elder Peng could do was to temporarily suspend this person’s Weibo account, the only one who could cause him serious harm was Yang Yuxin.
But Yang Yuxin… Feng Jun didn’t want to rely on her too much, so for the ti being, the matter was shelved.
Apart from these issues, the recent matter at the manor was treating Elder Sister Lou.
The treatnt was very effective. After one week, she regained sensation in various parts of her body. Ten days later, she had the energy to watch TV shows and could even discuss the plots with others.
Two weeks later, she was able to move her whole body, although walking on the ground was still inconvenient. However, the old lady actually had her youngest brother start making shoe pads for her siblings from scraps of cloth.
Such a recovery speed nearly made General Manager Han’s jaw drop. He quickly reported the progress to his superiors. Director Lou was also very pleased and casually asked if it had cost a lot of money.
“This is my respect for Elder Sister, it’s unrelated to money,” General Manager Han said elegantly, but as soon as he turned around, he contacted Feng Jun to inquire about how the costs should be calculated—he had only paid ten million for the diagnostic fee so far, and the bill had yet to be settled.
With Feng Jun’s pride, he actually couldn’t be bothered to continue discussing the price—leaving the rest for Li Shishi to handle.
However, he had a good impression of General Manager Han, so he replied, “Two billion, to be paid within three days, for specifics, contact Assistant Li.”
Two billion wasn’t an excessive amount, but it wasn’t small either, although he felt he was being reasonable—General Manager Han’s upper limit was five billion, after all.
Actually, the case had taken a lot of his effort, but since he had been at the manor recently without neglecting other matters, he felt sowhat light-hearted about it.
But General Manager Han was eager to et and communicate, stating that two billion wasn’t too much money and he could pay in cash. Could we et and talk about it?
Two billion in cash was indeed too extravagant, but Feng Jun felt the other party was sincere, so he decided to et, foregoing all-cash—it’s just that not long ago, they had helped him deal with the tax authorities.
General Manager Han was quite straightforward, bringing twenty million in cash to the manor that sa day. In fact, there are many benefits to using cash in transactions, which everyone is clear about. The only inconvenience is when the amount is too large.
After eting, General Manager Han suggested that the remaining one hundred and eighty million could be paid in the sa way. He wanted to discuss with Feng Jun about the healing techniques, asking if they needed an agent.
Yang Yuxin didn’t actually know General Manager Han, but each party was aware of the other. She used a middleman to release the news. As soon as General Manager Han heard it was the intention of the Gu Family’s youngest daughter-in-law, he definitely had to believe it—the na Yang Yuxin alone was worth at least twenty billion.
Before coming, General Manager Han had rough idea and guessed that the master of the manor seed to be looking for an agent.
Feng Jun obviously knew that the other party could guess his intentions, mostly likely due to so hint from Yang Yuxin, but he had no intention of confirming it with the other party—that would only lead people to speculate whether he had a falling out with Director Yang.
So, he just smiled nonchalantly and said, “I’m used to living a quiet life, just don’t spread the ssage and we’ll be fine. As for an agent… do you think I need one?”
General Manager Han hesitated for a mont before speaking, “I have an idea. Your dicine is miraculous. Why not buy a pharmaceutical factory and mass produce it? If you’re interested, I can handle all the paperwork… You can have a sixty percent stake with your technology. What do you think?”
If not for the recent accidents, Feng Jun would have thought the offer was good. Easy money—who wouldn’t like that?
But his ntality had changed now, so he just smiled faintly, “Pharmaceuticals… do you know how many procedures it takes for a new drug to enter the market, how much ti it requires?”
The process for a new drug to co to market is not explained here to avoid accusations of filler—interested friends can look it up themselves.
General Manager Han, however, smiled confidently, “Then we can skip pharmaceuticals and go with health supplents.”
