What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 263: Chapter 119: Trying to Be Tougher Than Me, Huh? (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_2

What? Wu Xiaozhen was startled to hear this, wondering why suddenly she had to take on criminal responsibility.

"Alright, alright, we're coming right over!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiaozhen urged, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, to the Xihong District Court."

Yu Erming was equally stunned when he heard "criminal responsibility." In fact, he already found administrative detention unbearable, let alone criminal responsibility!

Yu Hangshang didn't speak; he drove with a grim face, speeding all the way to the mediation room of the Xihong District Court.

Upon seeing the mediator Hu Xinqin, Wu Xiaozhen immediately asked, "What's going on? How come there's suddenly talk of taking on criminal responsibility?"

Hu Xinqin glanced around and asked, "Who is Yu Erming, and who are you all?"

"I am Yu Erming's mother, this is Yu Erming, comrade, please speak quickly, what exactly is happening?"

Hu Xinqin waved her hand and said, "Sit down first. Hurrying won't solve this matter. Yu Erming, did you have a conflict with Ju Haiqing sometime earlier?"

Yu Erming looked at his parents next to him before he said, "There was a conflict, but... but that time he didn't let me, and I was beaten very badly by him."

"That's right, comrade, my son has already been detained for ten days. He's just got out, how can there be more trouble?" Wu Xiaozhen was still visibly anxious.

"Detention has nothing to do with criminal responsibility, and don't mention anything else. The thing is, the other party has sued you. If you don't make an effort to mediate, you might have to bear criminal responsibility, do you understand?"

Hu Xinqin continued, "Furthermore, looking at the evidence submitted by the other party, they have now been considered to have acted in self-defense, and it's all your side's fault."

"Impossible, he... he was also fined, he said it was mutual combat!" Yu Erming said, his eyes wide.

Hu Xinqin flipped through the materials for a while before saying, "Oh, the other party initiated an administrative lawsuit, and the court decided that the police station's administrative penalty should be revoked, recognizing the other party's act as self-defense."

This statement was like a knife, making Yu Erming feel sick to his stomach.

He had been detained for ten days, and the other person was fined only two hundred yuan, and yet they had initiated some administrative lawsuit and got rid of the fine!

"On what grounds, did my son get beaten for nothing?" Wu Xiaozhen yelled.

"Are you members of this family unable to understand? It's not about your son being beaten for nothing, now it's about your son's going to jail!" Hu Xinqin frowned as she spoke.

"If you think that mediation is unnecessary, then we'll proceed with the usual process."

Nonetheless, Hu Xinqin wasn't surprised.

Honestly, having worked at the mediation center of the court for a long time, she had seen many odd characters indeed.

Yu Erming fell silent all at once, and Wu Xiaozhen quickly said, "We want mediation, is there any requirement? Do we need to pay compensation?"

"That's not for me to decide, it's up to the other party to decide."

"You've been summoned here today so that you can prepare in advance, make a proper apology if needed, and pay proper compensation!" Hu Xinqin stated earnestly.

The family nodded repeatedly.

At home, Ju Haiqing wasn't typing; he was quarreling with someone online.

The reason he was arguing online was that he had posted about the administrative lawsuit involving Old Tang on his own account.

Originally, he just wanted to talk about the incident, that is, if one is in the right, and is deemed to have engaged in mutual combat, one must not admit it lightly.

Unexpectedly, many internet users were saying he was making too much of a fuss over it.

"It's just two hundred yuan, not two thousand, is it necessary to go through an administrative lawsuit?"

"Yeah, this is how judicial resources get wasted. You can't afford two hundred yuan? If you can't, tell me, and I'll help you pay it!"

"People who are too serious can't make friends."

Such comments nearly broke him; was his legitimate seriousness now a fault?

And some even mentioned the waste of judicial resources. Aren't judicial resources there to solve problems? How did it get onto the topic of waste?

Fortunately, still many people supported him, feeling that such seriousness was meaningful, and they agreed that compromising was indeed unpleasant...

Just then, his phone rang. He picked it up to see an unknown number.

"Hello, yes, this is Ju Haiqing. Pre-litigation mediation center? I didn't ask for mediation," he said.

On the phone, Hu Xinqin was very patient, "Mr. Ju, your case hasn't been filed, and according to regulations, it has been transferred to our pre-litigation mediation center. It's best if we try to mediate..."

After hearing this, Ju Haiqing thought for a moment and said:

"I need to consult with my lawyer first."

After hanging up, Ju Haiqing called Old Tang's number.

"Hello, Lawyer Tang, it's about that call from the pre-litigation mediation center about organizing a mediation, what do you think?"

From the phone, Old Tang's voice answered, "This is up to you. As the client, I can't force you."

However, if the other side really agreed to mediation, then in the future he wasn't going to take his case lightly.

It wasn't for any other reason, but rather because he had to consider his own safety.

"Then let's talk to the other party first and see how sincere they are."

In the pre-litigation mediation center of the Xihong District Court, Hu Xinqin looked at Yu Erming's family and said, "The other party has tentatively agreed to talk, so you all need to think carefully; your sincerity must be sufficient."

Wu Xiaozhen nodded urgently.

The next day arrived quickly, and Old Tang and Ju Haiqing came to the Xihong District Court together.

After calling and getting the details, they went into the designated mediation room.

Before long, Hu Xinqin walked in and was surprised to see them, "You're here already? Please wait a moment, their family should be arriving soon too."
