"Don't worry about me leaking it. Lawyers have a duty of confidentiality. I can guarantee that I won't disclose your privacy."
"But if you can't tell me the truth, then the advice you get won't be accurate."
Every failure makes you wiser. This is the experience Zhou Xinran learned from the Xu Yufeng case.
This is a problem that lawyers often encounter in their practice. In fact, it should be said that it is human instinct.
Just like many people always avoid the important points when talking about their own experiences, only saying the good things and not the bad things, in daily interactions they will at most deceive others.
But if you still say that to a lawyer, that won’t work.
If you want to win a lawsuit, you have to clearly state everything you know and don't know, so that the lawyer has room to consider, rather than just saying your good side.
Since you are so good, why would others have nothing better to do than to sue you?
Or a private criminal prosecution?
Anyway, after experiencing the incident with Xu Yufeng, Zhou Xinran understood that there is no hatred without reason in this world.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xinran said, "Ms. Li, if what you said is the only thing that happened, it can't be considered defamation, not even defamation."
"But, but I have nothing..."
Zhou Xinran said again: "Ms. Li, I don't know whether you did anything, but I know that since the other party has a decision to file a case, it means that the case has been filed and will enter the trial process."
"Moreover, for private criminal prosecutions, if the court deems it necessary, they can take criminal coercive measures against you at any time. Within two days, a copy of the indictment, a court hearing notice, and a court summons may be served."
"So, if you want to resolve this matter, you must tell me the truth."
"Criminal private prosecutions can be mediated. If mediation is possible, then it's best to mediate."
Zhou Xinran's words made Sister Ling's face change. She had always acted like a weak person, whether online or in real life.
And no matter what happens, I always say, I don’t know what mistake I made.
After such a long time, I seem to have brainwashed myself and think that I have done nothing wrong.
But now, Zhou Xinran's words were like a knife, trying to cut through all the things she disguised on the outside and reveal the truth inside.
The key is that she needs to say it herself.
"Ms. Li, my advice is that you don't need to get emotional. You just need to objectively tell me what happened before, and then answer my questions objectively. That's all."
Sister Ling hesitated and was entangled, but finally had no choice because what the other party said was right. If she wanted to consult or solve the problem, she had to tell the truth.
When she started talking, Zhou Xinran breathed a sigh of relief. As a lawyer, she now also has to work part-time as a psychological counselor, which is too difficult.
But as she listened, Zhou Xinran's brow furrowed again. Finally, after Sister Ling finished speaking, Zhou Xinran asked, "How many views have you got for your 'I'm Being Cyberbullied' video and the one after that about not disturbing others?"
"The first one has about four million views, and the second one has slightly fewer..."
Zhou Xinran shook her head and said, "Stop talking. The number is enough. Five thousand views is enough. You've exceeded the limit."
"The key lies in these two videos. Although you didn't mention any names, just watching the first video will tell you that you've almost made it clear that it was that person named Ayi who was cyberbullying you!"
"But...but I was indeed scolded. They even said that I was blackmailing others. I must be being cyberbullied..." Sister Ling retorted.
"Whether you're blackmailing someone, being scolded, or even being cyberbullied is completely different from being cyberbullied by them, right?"
"If you didn't directly say that you were being manipulated by the other party, then it's fine. But if you said so but don't have any evidence to prove that it was really the other party who was inciting the cyberbullying, then it's difficult to deal with..."
"Then what should I do, Lawyer Zhou?"
Zhou Xinran began to think. The case wasn't complicated at all. The main thing was that she had posted both videos online, and both went viral. Even if she deleted them, it would be useless...
"First, look for evidence proving that the other party played a role in your being scolded. If so, that's fine, but if not..."
"Then we can only try to mediate through compensation and apology..."
"Okay, okay, thank you, Lawyer Zhou. Then... I'll entrust you with this."
The other party is really professional!
The online war of words continued, but Zhou Yi ignored it. He was sued by his former company, and this had to be resolved.
I just don't know what happened to the losses he caused to the company. He has been working diligently, and even things like colorful black and colorless red can get praise from customers.
He didn't know where the problem would occur, so it was difficult to collect evidence. In the words of Mr. Fang, he had to deal with it as it came.
Moreover, the other party is very likely to reach an out-of-court settlement through this method.
I can only say that there are so many companies in Jingzhou, but he chose such a weird one.
As time goes by, Sister Ling has received a notice of pre-trial mediation. She is now investigating everywhere, trying to find evidence that the other party is cyberbullying her.
The result is obvious. Zhou Yi posted a video in those two days, which was a comparison of Sister Ling's own before and after videos...
There is no other news besides this.
But today, Sister Ling was very excited because she discovered something unusual!
