Chapter 2540 - 2442: Find a Lawyer

"Brother Junzi?"

Liao Ying looked at Wu Jun in confusion.

Wu Jun shook his head at Liao Ying, comforting her, "You shouldn’t sign yet."

Liao Ying immediately looked distressed, "I can’t, Brother Junzi, they won’t let Zhibin go. If Zhibin goes to jail, Niuniu and Pipi will be without a father."

Wu Jun patted Liao Ying’s shoulder, smiling as he said, "Trust me, don’t sign. If you do, you’ll be giving them leverage. Don’t worry, I’ll help you handle this. We can’t just let them lead us by the nose. Whether or not your husband is at fault, we need to talk this out openly. I’ll find you a lawyer, let the professionals handle it, you don’t need to worry!"

Hearing Wu Jun’s words, Liao Ying felt relieved but still a bit unsure, and asked hesitantly,

"Will that work? Can you find a lawyer to handle this?"

Wu Jun smiled, "Your Brother Junzi can handle this small matter."

The police officer over there saw these people hesitating to sign, looked over at Jiang Shao whose face was already dark with impatience, and couldn’t help but get angry, saying,

"Are you going to sign or not? If you don’t sign, we’ll take the person to the detention center first!"

Wu Jun raised his head and looked coldly at the officer,

"Whether we sign or not is our business, you don’t need to threaten us. We need to understand the full situation; we can’t just listen to one side. Besides, we will hire a lawyer to deal with this twenty thousand compensation issue. I’m confident my lawyer will provide an explanation!"

The officer was taken aback, instinctively glanced at Wu Jun.

Jiang Shao was also a bit surprised. In such a small town, someone actually wants to hire a lawyer over something like this?

But seeing Liao Agong and the others dressed like typical peasants, and though Wu Jun seemed dressed decently, it was just average, Jiang Shao immediately showed disdain in his eyes.

He thought Wu Jun’s words were just for show, trying to intimidate him.

How could a bunch of poor people possibly hire a lawyer? It’s a joke; just the lawyer’s fees would overwhelm them. Even if they could hire one, it would most likely be a useless lawyer, not worth worrying about.

So Jiang Shao wasn’t scared by Wu Jun’s words, instead, he laughed out loud and arrogantly lifted his chin at Wu Jun and the others, saying nonchalantly,

"Fine, don’t sign. Go ahead and get a lawyer. I just told that guy, today I’ll keep fighting this to the end, if I don’t see him put in, my last name isn’t Jiang!"

Wu Jun smiled, not bothering to argue with such a fool, and directly pulled out his phone, quickly making a call.

The call connected quickly, the voice on the other end seemed a bit surprised, "Mr. Wu?"

"It’s me, Lawyer Zhang, I’m back in my hometown in Dali at Yun Province, ran into some trouble, need legal assistance. Do you have any contacts here?"

This Lawyer Zhang was a legal consultant for Beauty Group but rarely had direct contact with general manager Wu Jun, being suddenly contacted by him made him somewhat nervous and excited:

"I do, I have a junior fellow here in Dali, his specialty is handling civil cases. Hold on, I’ll call him and have him contact you. I don’t have much going on these days, so I’ll head over right away."

Without waiting for Wu Jun’s response, he hung up the phone.

Wu Jun wasn’t in a hurry, tapping the table as he waited.

Jiang Shao on the other side saw Wu Jun had barely said anything before the call ended, assuming he hadn’t found a lawyer, and began mocking even more brazenly,

"So, did you find a lawyer? If not, do you need me to provide a few?"

Wu Jun glanced at him sidelong, not bothering to respond.

Jiang Shao, with an "I’ll just watch you pretend" expression, clearly waiting to see Wu Jun make a fool of himself.

Not even three minutes later, Wu Jun’s phone rang; it was an unknown number from Dali. Wu Jun answered it directly.

The voice on the other end sounded apprehensive and nervous, with a hint of obsequiousness,

"Is this Mr. Wu Jun?"

"Yes, it is."

"Hello, Mr. Wu, I’m Lawyer Zhang Taiming’s junior fellow, Yan Yucheng. May I ask where you are right now? I’ll come find you immediately." The person on the other end sounded flustered and then cautiously inquired.

Wu Jun glanced at the police station’s address plate and replied,

"Hello, Lawyer Yan, I’m at the Huilong Town Police Station in Luohua County. Come here directly."

"Okay, please wait a moment, I’ll be over right away!"

The call ended, Wu Jun turned his head to smile at Liao Ying and Liao Hong, "Just wait a little longer, the lawyer I found will be here soon."

Liao Ying was still hesitant, but Liao Hong and Liao Agong knew of Wu Jun’s particularly capable employer, who could even summon county-level officials with ease, hiring a lawyer was certainly within reach.

So, the two of them believed Wu Jun wouldn’t lie; if he said the lawyer could handle it, he surely would be able to.

"Sis, trust Brother Junzi, he wouldn’t deceive us." Liao Hong urged Liao Ying.

Seeing how confident these people were, the police officers started feeling uncertain and instinctively signaled over to Jiang Shao.

Jiang Shao also frowned. He initially wanted the police to seal the deal decisively. He didn’t want anything unexpected at this moment; now these people were actually hiring a lawyer, making Jiang Shao a little annoyed.

He sneered at Liao Ying and Liu Zhibin, saying:

"It’s fine if you don’t sign, I’ll tell you outright, there’s no room for negotiation here, hiring a lawyer won’t help. Moreover, Liu, forget about getting the final payment for your project!"

As these words fell, Liao Ying was shocked to raise her head, while Liu Zhibin, sitting beside her, was furious, glaring at Jiang Shao:

"We have a signed contract; how can you withhold my project payment? That’s the hard work from months of labor!"

Jiang Shao, with a superior air, sneered, "So what? Who told you not to be sensible? I’m not satisfied with your renovation work, so I can withhold the final payment. You can go back and check your contract; there’s a clause that says exactly that. According to the contract’s terms, I don’t have to pay you."

He then added shamelessly,

"Oh, and I can promise you this: you won’t get any more renovation projects in all of Luohua County. Your renovation team is finished, haha!"
