Lu Yiming didn't understand.
Even the prosecutor said he was innocent and let him go.
It's one thing for these family members to be so persistent, but why won't they even let the government officials off the hook?
Is there any justice left in this world?
So it's really a case of whoever dies is right?
Is there any fairness left?
Mu Xia had studied law, so she was very knowledgeable about legal matters.
Seeing that Lu Yiming was angry, she quickly explained:
"Chairman, it's like this."
We can assure you that you will not be criminally charged.
However, the situation is less certain in civil cases.
The determination of causation in civil cases is more lenient.
The authorities may very well determine that your words had a causal relationship with the old man's death.
Our legal department and lawyers have discussed this point, and we all agree that the authorities should rule in this way.
After all, there have been similar rulings before.
"These are some case precedents; you can refer to them as well." Mu Xia handed over a few more pages of materials.
Lu Yiming looked down.
Goodness.
These are all outrageous cases.
For example, this doctor advised an elderly person not to smoke in the elevator, since it was a public place and smoking was harmful to their health.
As a result, the old man was so angry that he died on the spot, and the government ordered the doctor to pay hundreds of thousands in compensation.
There's also this case.
A young man saw an old man fall to the ground and quickly went to help him up.
When the old man woke up, the first thing he did was say that the young man had bumped into him and demand that he pay him compensation!
The young man was unwilling.
When the old man's family arrived, they slapped the young man several times and forcibly dragged him to the hospital.
The young man had no money; he still needed to go to school, and he was forced to pay more than a thousand yuan.
Even after the surveillance footage was reviewed and confirmed to be innocent, and even when the video was placed in front of the old man, he and his family still insisted that the video was fake.
The young man did a good deed but instead of receiving any reward, he was slapped several times and had to pay several thousand yuan in compensation.
In the end, he never received an apology from the old man and his gang.
Considering Lu Yiming's situation.
Lu Yiming is much more assertive than them.
The situation is also more serious.
If these precedents are followed, Lu Yiming will definitely not be able to escape punishment.
They'll have to pay at least several hundred thousand in compensation.
It might even start at a million.
This is why the legal team has consistently advised Lu Yiming to mediate.
Since they're going to have to pay compensation anyway, mediation is easier and won't escalate the situation further or damage Lu Yiming's reputation.
But Lu Yiming won't tolerate them!
Oh shit!
Either way, we're going to lose money!
Then I might as well fight you to the bitter end!
If in the end even the government decides that Lu Yiming should pay compensation.
Lu Yiming had no choice but to swallow his pride and accept it!
But before that, he had to rant and rave to his heart's content!
I am clearly in the right. You think you can make me bow down? Dream on!
Thinking this through, Lu Yiming said to Mu Xia directly and decisively:
"Go tell that lawyer."
I do not accept his opinion!
I paid him to come here, not to make decisions for me!
I am not his puppet!
It's impossible to answer the question the way he said!
"My only request from beginning to end is to help me win this lawsuit!"
Instead of assuming we've already lost before the trial even begins!
Let me prepare to lose money!
Bah!
In that case, why would I spend so much money to hire him as my lawyer?
"I'd rather have a dog chained next to me than him!!!"
As Lu Yiming spoke, he became increasingly angry, and his tone grew harsher and harsher.
Mu Xia was stunned.
Lu Yiming rarely gets angry with people who help him!
This outburst of anger is absolutely one of a kind!
I never expected that this lawyer could make their chairman so angry!
Mu Xia finally realized that the lawyer had crossed Lu Yiming's bottom line this time, and quickly said:
"Don't worry, Chairman, I'll discuss this with the lawyer right away!"
"This is outrageous!" Lu Yiming said angrily.
The viewers in the live stream were all angry!
"This lawyer is really baffling! Even if he doesn't know Lu Yiming personally, he must have at least heard about Lu Yiming's temper online, right?"
Someone as tough as Lu Yiming would never compromise with those bastards!
"I hate lawyers like this the most. They tell you before the trial even starts that you're definitely going to lose and that accepting mediation is the best solution!"
"Damn it, if I were willing to mediate, would I need to spend money to hire you? I just couldn't swallow this insult, that's why I spent so much money hiring lawyers to help us win this case!"
"Lu Yiming was clearly right this time! Even if he said some unpleasant things, who hasn't sworn before? Who dares to say they've never sworn in their entire life?"
Does that mean anyone who uses foul language and angers someone to death is responsible? What kind of logic is that! Anyway, I completely agree with Lu Yiming's attitude: resolutely refuse mediation, and don't give these bastards an opportunity!
...
Viewers in the live stream chat were flooding the screen with messages of support for Lu Yiming!
Half an hour later.
Lu Yiming and his group arrived at the government office.
Preparing to go inside for the court hearing.
However, after waiting for almost ten minutes, and as the court hearing was about to begin, Lu Yiming and his team still hadn't seen their legal team.
