"If the amount is 1.09 million, that already constitutes an ’extrely large sum.’ The principal offender will be sentenced to more than ten years of imprisonnt!"
"As long as we have sufficient evidence to prove the other party committed extortion, we have a 95% chance of winning this case."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Shuirong’s eyes widened slightly, and her breathing quickened.
"Can we really send them to jail?"
Zhang Wei nodded. "As long as their criminal acts are clear, they will definitely go to jail!"
"Clear! They’re definitely clear!"
Bai Shuirong was very excited and hurriedly said, "I’ve always felt their actions were extortion!"
I didn’t expect they’d actually committed extortion.
"You have no idea! They first demanded seven or eight hundred thousand, then suddenly 1.09 million! If that’s not extortion, what is?"
"Put them away! I want them all sent to prison!"
Before she ca, she had been sowhat anxious, worried they couldn’t win the lawsuit.
But since Zhang Wei had said this... Clearly, they were going to win this lawsuit! And they could even send those nine car owners and the property managent people to prison too!
A 95% chance of winning... She thought Zhang Wei was being conservative.
No wonder he was such a renowned lawyer in Jin City. His reputation was clearly well-deserved; one could tell his caliber from the get-go.
"Xiao Wei, hearing you say that puts Third Aunt’s mind at ease. I’ll head back ho first then."
Finally, Bai Shuirong looked at Zhang Wei with a broad, relieved smile. "I’m counting on you for the lawsuit in two days."
Having said this, she prepared to leave the law firm.
Zhang Wei was utterly bewildered and quickly stopped Bai Shuirong.
He smiled wryly and reminded her, "Third Aunt, you at least have to provide with evidence, like records of communication between the parties, and where the child was at that ti..."
"We need those?" Bai Shuirong paused, startled.
"Of course we do." Zhang Wei couldn’t help but roll his eyes, suddenly regretting taking this case.
His own Third Aunt... She seed completely imrsed in the joy of not having to pay and being able to send the others to jail.
Summonses, complaints... she hadn’t provided him with any of them.
It was as if she expected him to improvise in court.
"I don’t have the surveillance footage or other evidence, but I do have chat records from the residents’ group where these nine car owners were demanding an exorbitant price..."
Bai Shuirong thought for a mont and quickly took out her phone, providing Zhang Wei with a series of screenshots.
Zhang Wei sifted through hundreds of pages of group chat records. The corner of his mouth twitched.
They were all records of argunts. The other party continuously demanded compensation, while Bai Shuirong relentlessly refuted them.
Both sides stuck to their guns. From an observer’s standpoint, he couldn’t imdiately tell who was more in the right.
"Is this not enough?" Bai Shuirong frowned slightly, then added, "I can testify that my grandson was at ho when it happened!"
Zhang Wei’s expression brightened. "Do you have ho surveillance caras?" he pressed.
In recent years, many families had installed ho surveillance caras in their living rooms and hallways.
If they had that surveillance footage... the case would be clear. It could definitively prove the child had nothing to do with it. The other party’s actions would then constitute making a false claim for compensation and attempting to illegally possess others’ property.
"Surveillance?" Bai Shuirong swallowed, her gaze flickering. She was a bit nervous.
But she still said, steeling herself, "Yes! But I have to go ho to get it for you."
Zhang Wei nodded, finally feeling a sense of relief. With this evidence, the counterclaim was practically guaranteed.
「Mountain and Water Garden District. Building 10, Unit 2801.」
Bai Shuirong returned ho and started checking the surveillance footage from that day. She discovered... that her grandson was indeed not at ho in that day’s video. He had run off to play by himself.
However... the surveillance from the previous day showed her grandson staying obediently at ho, playing with marbles the whole ti.
The sound of marbles hitting the floor had even prompted several complaints from the downstairs neighbors.
These neighbors were each more difficult to handle than the last. When he was mischievous outside, they complained it bothered them. When he played marbles at ho, they complained it bothered them too.
It’s only off by a day. If I can find soone to alter the date, it shouldn’t be a problem.
Bai Shuirong took a deep breath and decided to send this video to Zhang Wei.
「That evening.」
Zhang He returned ho from work. He imdiately asked about how finding a lawyer went.
"Really? A 95% chance of winning for sure?" Zhang He was both shocked and delighted to hear this.
What a stark contrast to the day before! Last night, after seeing the summons, he’d felt like dying.
But today... it felt like a sudden turn for the better.
"Not only that," Bai Shuirong said, her face beaming with a proud smile, "Zhang Wei told we can also... what’s it called... countersue! Yes, countersue, and send the other party to prison! I told you there was no need to worry, right? What kind of beat-up cars could be worth so much money?"
"They’re definitely extorting us! Now they’ve just walked right into their own trap!"
As she spoke, she glanced at her grandson playing on the floor and scoffed.
These people were really asking for it, completely clueless about who they could afford to offend and who they couldn’t.
Her nephew, Zhang Wei, was the best criminal lawyer in Jin City!
And these nine car owners still had the audacity to sue them!
Just wait until the court hearing... They’ll definitely regret it!
「Two days later.」
Ti passed, and the day of the court hearing arrived.
Qin Mu had once again taken the entire day off work.
At 9:30 in the morning, he t Wang Dachui at the courthouse entrance.
At 9:50, the other car owners also arrived at the court, trickling into the courtroom.
The group entered the Second Civil Courtroom ahead of schedule.
