What's wrong with this lawyer?!

On the other end of the phone, Guo Shenglong was eating when he received a call from Guo Shengfang and did not react at first.

"Wait a second, explain a bit clearer, what do you mean 'just let you and Dad go to jail'? Didn't the police detain you last time? What's happening now, have the police stopped caring, and you can still go to jail?"

Guo Shengfang shouted through the phone, "Yes, I was detained last time, and I've just received a summons from the court, they call this a criminal complaint."

"So, you're saying, as long as Dad and I lose the lawsuit, we're going to jail!"

Guo Shenglong finally listened clearly and got extremely angry, but still said, "Are they ever going to let this go? Don't worry for now, I'll ask around to see what this criminal complaint business is about."

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shenglong pondered for a while and finally remembered he had a friend who knew a bit about the law; he had been talking with confidence the last time they had a meal together.

He immediately found his contact details and called him.

"Hello, Brother Wang, it's Guo Shenglong, remember we had a meal together that time?"

On the phone, a voice responded: "Oh I remember now, Shenglong, what's up, anything wrong?"

"It's like this, Brother Wang, do you know what a criminal complaint is? It's about my sister, sigh, she got into trouble out of the blue, and now the other party has initiated a complaint..."

Wang on the phone did not speak, as if busy with something.

After waiting for quite a while, he finally said, "That Shenglong, I was a bit tied up just now. A criminal complaint, right? I know about it. If your sister loses the case, indeed, there is a chance she could go to prison."

"I think you guys better hire a lawyer, or else find a way to settle with the other party. With a criminal complaint, as long as you can reach a settlement and they drop the charges, your sister will be fine."

Guo Shenglong suddenly saw the light: "I see, Brother Wang, alright, I got it, thanks Brother Wang, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

He didn't want to think about hiring a lawyer for now, as surely hiring one would not be cheap.

The main thing was, having never dealt with a criminal complaint before, even though he knew losing the lawsuit could lead to prison, he didn't take it all that seriously.

In the mind of some people with lower education levels, going to jail meant being arrested by the police.

Now that the police weren't arresting anyone, it seemed like it was not a big deal.

Moreover, Brother Wang had just mentioned, if the case could be settled and the other party stopped pressing charges, there would be no problem.

So, as long as the other party didn't press charges, that meant everything was fine.

Thinking of this, Guo Shenglong called Guo Shengfang again.

"Hello, Shengfang, I just consulted with a... with a lawyer friend, and hey, I tell you, we can handle this. The main issue is they've initiated a lawsuit. If we can get them to drop it, you and Dad will be fine."

"You have that woman's number, right? Give it to me, I'll talk to them!"

Very soon, Guo Shengfang sent over Chi Yan's number, and Guo Shenglong looked at it before dialing.

At Lu Zhou Second Hospital, Chi Yan had gradually stopped thinking about the previous events.

Time truly is poisonous, it can turn the most passionate emotions of this world cold.

But Chi Yan was still doing okay because Lawyer Tang had told her, since she had hired a lawyer, she should just live her life peacefully and not worry about the rest.

Maybe other lawyers would constantly trouble their clients, but he wouldn't.

As long as he could handle it, he definitely wouldn't bother the client again; otherwise, what was the point of hiring a lawyer?

One could only say that some lawyers and law firms nowadays go too far.

After finishing up her work, Chi Yan was finally able to eat. She went downstairs to pick up her takeout and was about to head back up when her phone rang.

"Hello, is this Chi Yan?" a strange male voice said on the phone.

Chi Yan felt the voice was somewhat familiar, as if she had heard it before, but she just couldn't recall where.

Not knowing who it was, Chi Yan replied, "Yes, it's me. May I ask who this is?"

"I'm Guo Shengfang's brother, Guo Shenglong. Did you and that lawyer file some criminal complaint against my sister?"

Ah? What's a criminal complaint? Chi Yan had long forgotten. She just remembered that Lawyer Tang had called her downstairs that one time, had her sign some papers, and then there was no follow-up.

As she was about to answer, Guo Shenglong continued on the other end: "I want to tell you that this is just a minor matter; there's no need to blow it out of proportion. Anything can be discussed."

"If you want compensation, just say so directly, there's no need for all this fuss. And besides, my sister has already been detained for fifteen days."

Over the phone, Guo Shenglong believed his words to be quite sincere.

Chi Yan was about to reply when she suddenly remembered what Lawyer Tang told her.

If they call again, don't say anything, don't make any promises, and just give them Tang Fangjing's number to handle everything.

After that thought, Chi Yan quickly said: "I'm very busy right now and can't deal with this issue; please talk to my lawyer. I'll give you his mobile number."

Having said that, Chi Yan hung up the phone, found Old Tang's number, and sent it in a text message.

She then blocked this number right away.

As for why she shouldn't negotiate personally, Lawyer Tang had said it was difficult for the parties directly involved to discuss these matters; tempers could flare during such conversations.

As a lawyer, negotiation was his forte, so it was best for him to handle it.

Chi Yan naturally trusted Lawyer Tang a lot. Although this matter had dragged on a bit, she clearly remembered that Lawyer Tang's fees were almost the price of cabbage!

Lately, she had also looked at some lawyers' fees online. After seeing them, she almost lost the urge to assert her rights.
