Chapter 10: I took this case

Xiao÷Shuo◎.com     】,♂Xiao÷Shuo◎.com    】,

For a few days, I didn't receive any cases and did nothing every day. It seemed that I was the only one who was an alien in the entire office.

Meng Yang is following up on an economic fraud case all day long, and I can only see his shadow every morning. Sometimes I think about it, being busy is really good.

At least when you get busy, you don’t have time to think about other things.

I was sitting at the table that day, and receptionist Xiao Zhang called me.

"Chen Lu, please come and have a question. Mr. Wang assigned you a case."

"Okay, come soon."

I quit the phone and smiled unnaturally. I think Lao Wang has already endured me to a certain extent.

Generally speaking, assignment cases are derived from legal aid and are not entrusted by the client themselves. In other words, such cases do not have considerable returns, and sometimes there is no money to make.

Like the case a year ago, it also belongs to the assignment category, but it belongs to Lao Wang’s preference for me. In his original words, “The grandson is obviously a rich man who doesn’t understand the law, and he can handle it anybody.”

So, I became that lucky person

I was a little resistant to the case I was about to take over, but when I thought about how long I was free, I had no complaints. No company with the purpose of making a profit would allow for free food.

Lao Wang is very nice to me, that's right, but everything has its own standards. The workplace is like a small society, with a whole law firm, more than 20 pairs of eyes staring at each other every day. If I don't accept this case, I'm afraid that Lao Wang will persuade me to withdraw from the situation soon.

Value is often reflected in being needed.

I took the notebook, casually followed a signing pen from Meng Yang's desk, and went straight to the reception room.

Xiao Zhang was receiving the client.

It was a man, looking in his thirties, with a shaved beard, his eyes covered with red bloodshots, and he was sitting on the sand with a cramped face.

"Ahem."

He coughed, attracting the attention of Xiao Zhang and the man, and asked Xiao Zhang: "Zhang'er, what case?"

Xiao Zhang is a senior intern, a local in Beijing. His father and Lao Wang are old friends, so he came to the law firm for an internship.

"Refused to file a claim for a traffic accident." Xiao Zhang looked serious: "It's really hateful."

Generally, people who work in our industry are more rational. Before understanding a case, they rarely express subjective ideas because we will take up legal weapons to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the client.

When Xiao Zhang introduced the case, he expressed his own opinion, as if it was not in line with the rules. He looked at her with a little displeasure: "Okay, I understand, you go and do it."

"Chen Lu, you must help him."

"Well, I will."

In my confusion, Xiao Zhang left the reception room.

At this moment, the man and I were left in the room.

"To introduce yourself, Chen Mo is the lawyer assigned to you by our law firm."

Extend your hand and hand it to the man.

He stood up in panic, stretched out his left and right, and held it together: "Hello, my name is Li Zheng."

"What case?"

He sat down, opened his notebook and asked.

"Someone hit my mother two years ago. After the Traffic Management Bureau determined the responsibility, the court sentenced the driver to the accident to full responsibility. It has been two years since they received their compensation."

He was shocked and frowned and asked, "Why did you remember to?"

"Brother, I don't have time. I stayed with my mother in the hospital every day until now. She is still in a coma. If it weren't for the lack of money and I couldn't afford the hospitalization fee, I wouldn't mention this."

After a moment of being stunned, he calmed down and said to Li Zheng: "Tell me carefully."

"Two years ago, in Daxing"

From Li Zheng's narrative, I learned the context of the entire case.

It was a night two years ago. Li's mother rode home as usual after get off work. When she reached an intersection, it was the green light of the pedestrian. Li's mother rode by. It was also at this time that a tragic life was a white Mazda that knocked Li's mother and her car out seven or eight meters.

Fortunately, there was a kind-hearted person passing by, and called the police in time. Soon the driver of the accident was controlled by the police. Li's mother was rushed to the hospital. After the traffic police conducted the on-site survey and simulation, the real-time car was at least 70 meters, which was a serious violation. The white Mazda driver Sun was fully responsible.

The case is full of evidence, and whether it is the traffic police report or the surveillance at the accident site, it can confirm Sun's guilt.

During the trial, Sun was sentenced to full responsibility in court and determined that he would compensate him for the accident amount of 900,000 yuan. Sun did not raise any objection at that time.

"In the past two years, he has only paid 30,000 yuan to the court's execution department, right?"

"Um."

Li Zheng was red in his eyes.

I suddenly felt cruel and forced him to recall the nightmare.

Li Zheng is a single-parent family and has been dependent on his mother since he was a child. When he was in an accident, he studied for a master's degree at Zhejiang University. He was a young man with great enthusiasm and his future should have been very bright.

With his education, he can return to Beijing to find a good job after graduation, then start a family with his girlfriend, and support his mother who has worked hard for most of his life.

A car accident was completely ruined.

"I was panicked at that time and felt that the sky was falling. Do you understand that feeling?"

Li Zheng murmured.

Nodded, shook his head again.

No one in the world can empathize with it. I have never experienced his things, so how can I truly understand it?

"The first thing I did when I returned to Beijing was to run to the hospital. At that time, my mother had been transferred to the third hospital. When I saw her, she was covered in tubes and lay on the bed of the ICU."

"I wish I could kill him. But I can't. The main thing is to raise money to treat my illness and take good care of my mother."

Li Zheng said calmly, just like telling other people's affairs.

I know that everything he shows now is brought about by the despair he has experienced in the past two years.

"My girlfriend who has been with me for five years was dumped. I can't drag other girls down. The house in Tongzhou was sold, but it was too small. The money sold was only enough for my mother's three surgeries. I borrowed all relatives and friends. Now, I have no money, and my mother is lying in the hospital. Maybe she will leave me next time. I really don't know what to do."

"Have you ever looked for Sun Linhai?"

"I searched for it for less than twenty times, and he said he had no money."

"Dadbeat?"

"I've taken this case."

Xiao Zhang is right, it's really hateful.

Instructing Li to wait in the reception room, I walked out of the room and found Xiao Zhang: "I'll accept the case."

“Free aid.”

I added.

"Okay, Chen Lu." Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

In this gap, Xiao Zhang asked me: "Can the law really protect the rights and interests of the weak?"

"The law will only protect people who will use it, and if you want, it will be the best weapon." I said confidently.
