Chapter 370: Chapter 368: Security Guards All Out on Duty, Father-in-law Comes Too?
The entrance to the clinic.
The family members had not left, and when they heard Zhang Wei’s "threat," they became even more agitated.
"This damn lawyer dares to threaten us!"
"Go ahead, call the police if you have the guts!"
"Doctors commit malpractice and we aren’t even allowed to speak up, we believe in justice, we believe in fairness!"
"Justice is in people’s hearts!"
Leading the family members, the elderly mother and the young man’s cries were louder with each chant.
"Professionals!" Even Zhang Wei had to admit that this group had definitely done their homework.
But such people were not without Solutions.
Zhang Wei remained unfazed, no matter how much of a commotion the group of relatives caused outside.
He calmly took out his phone and the first number he dialed was the property management of the United Financial Building.
"Hello, is this property management? There are people causing a disturbance on the 41st floor, severely disrupting the normal operations of our three companies; could you send someone to deal with it!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wei dialed another number.
"Hello, is this the police reporting center? There are people here suspected of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and the situation is nearly out of control; could you send someone to deal with it, the address is the United Financial Building..."
After making two consecutive calls, Zhang Wei moved a chair from the office and sat directly in front of the family members.
The group of family members, young and old, looked at each other puzzled.
They didn’t understand what was going on with this young lawyer. Was he heartless?
They were crying and making a fuss here just to get a "statement," but this guy just positioned his chair as if he were watching a monkey show.
However, they were having trouble internally, the show must go on.
Crying was still necessary, and naturally, the commotion must continue.
Once again led by the elderly mother and the young man, the family members resumed their crying and fussing, making a heart-wrenching scene.
At the end of the corridor, the staff from Southeast Fly Wedding Company continued to watch the drama unfold.
Since the noise was so loud here, their business was also being affected, so they didn’t miss out on watching the free show.
Zhang Wei alone, no matter the wind and rain or if the sky fell and the earth split, remained immovable.
To him, these scenes were nothing more than child’s play.
Soon, the sound of the elevator was heard; the property management staff had arrived.
In fact, the property management had been receiving complaints about the noise on the 41st floor since the afternoon, affecting the floors above and below.
They were also planning to discuss how many people should be sent over to deal with the situation.
But after Zhang Wei’s call, they had no choice but to send someone immediately.
"Make way, please, we are from the property management, what is going on here!"
Accompanied by two or three security personnel, a property manager in a suit, a tie, and glasses walked in.
"I am the property manager. My name is Chen. May I ask what’s happening here!"
After introducing himself, Manager Chen looked at the group of family members and then at Zhang Wei and the others.
Manager Chen, good timing, could you help us deal with these people? They’re lying and sitting here, seriously affecting the normal work of the owners on this floor," said Zhang Wei, calmly pointing at the group of relatives.
"And you are?"
"My name is Zhang Wei. I’m Dr. Jessica’s lawyer, currently fully authorized by the doctor to handle this matter!"
"Oh, I see!"
Manager Chen thought for a moment and didn’t seem surprised.
"Then, please ask them to stand up!"
He quickly instructed the security personnel to get the family members to their feet.
"No, we will not stand up!"
"We want fairness, we want justice!"
"This doctor has taken a life, is there no conscience left, is there no law!"
But to Manager Chen’s surprise, the family members were extremely resistant, even struggling violently, not wanting the security to touch them.
"Well, now, this is a sit-in protest!"
Manager Chen felt the situation becoming thorny.
These kinds of situations are often very difficult to handle!
Wait a minute... he also knew Dr. Jessica, this is a psychological clinic, how could there be a sit-in protest?
"Is there perhaps some misunderstanding? Dr. Jessica is clearly a mental health professional. Aren’t all her patients here to share their troubles and seek psychological therapy?"
"It’s that woman! She killed my son... Give me back my son, give him back to me..."
Among the family members, the elderly mother immediately burst into tears, her voice hoarse, making listeners feel heartbroken and move them to tears.
"I don’t care about all this nonsense. It’s that woman who caused my elder brother’s death. We’re here today to seek justice. Dare to touch us, and you’ll be complicit with that doctor!"
Compared to the elderly mother, her younger son was much more direct, pointing at Manager Chen and Zhang Wei’s noses, and began to curse outright.
"This..." Manager Chen was in a difficult position because this matter was genuinely hard to deal with.
If you confront them, they’ll cry and make a scene, even possibly accusing us of starting the physical confrontation.
But if it’s not handled, it will upset other property owners, and they might complain about poor property management services.
The United Financial Building is not like those old properties in residential areas. It is renowned within Dongfang Capital for its premium property management, at least Manager Chen thought so.
It’s actually easier for those old residential properties to deal with these situations.
Because their security guards are all old men. Even though four of them together might not have five teeth, at least the old men are intimidating.
If those family members dared to resort to force or shoving, the old men would just lie down on the ground, and then it would be a matter of who is afraid of whom.
But their security personnel are all sturdy men in their thirties and forties.
Compared to these guards, the family members, with their own frail and sick, were distinctly at a disadvantage.
If a conflict really flared up, their side would be seen as the strong party, easily giving people the impression of the strong bullying the weak.
Difficult!
It was indeed a tough situation!
Manager Chen struggled with what to do.
Now he was getting a little annoyed. Why did that young lawyer have to make the call earlier? He shouldn’t have come.
"Manager Chen, please handle this. At the very least, get them to move downstairs instead of blocking the entrance. It’s seriously disrupting our three businesses!"
Zhang Wei spoke up again, joining forces with Southeast Fly and the wedding company’s staff as he did.
"Yeah, we have clients coming today who can’t even get in. How are we supposed to make money to pay the rent?"
"We had found two couples as new clients who had agreed to come over on Monday to discuss wedding matters, but with all this noise, how can we hold consultations?"
"It’s the same for us at Southeast Fly. We had scheduled meetings with two groups of clients for divorce cases, and they came earlier, but left when they saw the commotion at the entrance!"
As they spoke, the people from Southeast Fly and the wedding company subtly formed alliances, and then each side glanced at the other with strange expressions.
The two companies didn’t get along in the first place, and their main businesses were in direct opposition. They really didn’t see eye to eye with each other.
Though the two groups stood clearly divided, they both disliked the family members making a scene.
The noise and chaos were severely affecting their companies’ daily operations.
"Manager Chen, hurry up! Even if it’s just a request, you need to ask them to leave. Otherwise, if word gets out that the property management isn’t taking action, it won’t stay hidden!"
"Furthermore, their behavior is seriously hindering several companies’ normal business operations. That’s illegal! Are you just going to stand by and tolerate crime???"
Zhang Wei also added a remark, which, although not loud, carried a significant accusation—and his voice could be heard clearly by those around.
Manager Chen felt the pressure; he had to deal with this situation.
And it had to be dealt with now, immediately!
Otherwise, who knows what other accusations this little lawyer might pin on him.
"Hurry up, send more people over!"
Manager Chen made another phone call.
In less than two minutes, the elevator doors opened again, and more than ten security guards stepped out.
"Quick, quick, quick, right here; please take them down to the lobby!"
Manager Chen gestured, and the security guards acted swiftly.
The family members panicked when they saw the guards moving in.
"Not good, they’re going to use force!"
"They’re hitting people! They’re hitting people! These damn guards are starting a fight!"
"Dare to touch my mother, and I’ll fight you to the end!"
Then, without the guards even touching them, the family members started to yell and scream.
Some family members even swung their arms around, hitting at the air, not seeming to know who they were trying to hit.
The security guards hadn’t even come close yet.
Manager Chen: ...
The Security: ...
Zhang Wei: "Heh!"
Spectators around: "Wow, is this some kind of remote defense?"
Seeing the crowd of onlookers not dispersing for a long time, Manager Chen thought about it and finally clenched his teeth.
"Have them all escorted out, but remember to be measured, we absolutely cannot harm anyone!"
Once he gave the order, the security guards all sprang into action, using methods of lifting and supporting to pick the family members off the ground and haul them toward the elevator.
"Murderers, murderers!"
The family members naturally resisted leaving; they struggled violently, punching and kicking the security guards, and even attempted to bite them.
"Do not fight back, hold it in, everyone just hold it in!"
"If you handle this well, I’ll give each of you a 500 yuan bonus!"
Seeing this, Manager Chen quickly spoke up to remind them and promised a bonus.
It had to be said that he was quite experienced, knowing that such matters were difficult to handle but also understanding that they needed to be handled firmly.
Otherwise, if mishandled, friction was likely to occur.
And if that happened, the property management would suffer as well.
Therefore, it was vital to strictly control the behavior of the security personnel, absolutely no hitting back, even if they were being attacked.
The security staff, under the intense struggle and even the clawing and biting resistance of the family members, dragged each one into the elevator and then took them down to the ground floor.
"You, you!"
The elderly mother and the young man were finally brought into the elevator, filled with intense anger, their voices vanishing in the stairwell.
"Manager Chen, quite decisive!"
In the end, seeing the now quiet corridor, Zhang Wei couldn’t help but give Manager Chen’s method a thumb up.
"Hehehe, Mr. Lawyer, you jest, my heart isn’t set either!"
Manager Chen took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his heart pounding.
"Then let’s go down too, who knows if that bunch of family members will call the police to sue you guys!"
"Ah, really?"
"What do you mean, ’really’? After all, those people are doing this for the money; if we don’t pay up, how could they possibly give up?"
Zhang Wei said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"What if they really do report this to the police, then how should we handle it?"
"Don’t worry, to prevent them from reporting it, I’ve already filed a preemptive report; the field officers might have already arrived downstairs!"
Manager Chen: ???
Zhang Wei and Manager Chen went downstairs together, and when the elevator opened, they saw quite a few people gathered in the lobby.
The security guards stood on one side, and the family members were surrounded by a crowd on the other side, with a patrol car from the Martial Association parked at the entrance.
"Field Officer Xia, you must stand up for us, these people just beat us and threw us out!"
"We just wanted justice, but they treated us like this, they’re not human!"
"That’s right, that’s right, my elderly mother is over sixty, with poor health, and yet they treated an old person like this, is there no justice, no law of the land?"
"Field Officer Xia, you must stand up for us common folk!"
The crowd was buzzing.
When Zhang Wei and Manager Chen arrived, although they couldn’t see the family members, they could hear their wailing.
"Don’t worry, we will not let any villain off the hook!"
Among the field officers, a man made a promise.
But his voice startled Zhang Wei.
The crowd naturally parted, and a middle-aged field officer, who was leading the team, walked out.
"Damn, father-in-law!"
Seeing the appearance of the field officer, Zhang Wei inwardly exclaimed, as expected.
This time, when the complaint center received a complaint, they dispatched several field teams from nearby to handle it.
Xia Donghai was one of them, recently responsible for the area including the United Financial Building in the city center.
Son-in-law and father-in-law, meeting in such a situation.
"Zhang Wei, what are you doing here?"
"Yue... Field Officer Xia, I’m the one who reported the incident!"
Upon seeing Xia Donghai, Zhang Wei nearly called out ’father-in-law’.
But he corrected himself just in time, fearing the repercussions.
If these family members found out that the field officer and the lawyer were related, they might start making a scene again, exploiting the situation.
So, at this time, it’s better not to reveal my identity.
"Xia Field Officer, based on what our eyewitnesses heard and saw, we have reason to suspect that this group is deliberately extorting my client, and has been causing harassment, intimidation, and threats to my client and the company, attempting to extort money from my client," Zhang Wei immediately spoke up as the person in charge arrived, pointing directly at the "relatives."
"You’re talking nonsense!"
A young man among the relatives couldn’t hold back and was about to get up.
"Especially him, leading others in causing trouble, he’s the main culprit in this case. I believe that even if he isn’t punished according to criminal law, he should be dealt with under the public security regulations. Lock him up for about ten days for the first offense!"
"What are you saying, lock me up for ten days, who the hell are you!"
The young man couldn’t restrain himself any longer and started cursing at Zhang Wei, "I came here to seek justice for my dead brother. He died in such unclear circumstances, yet the hospital won’t give an explanation, and the doctor dares not meet us. This is simply inhumane, treating human life like grass!"
"Whether it’s treating human life like grass is not for you to decide. It must be determined by an authoritative organization. If you are not satisfied with the assessment by the authoritative organization, you can spend your own money to hire a trusted institution to conduct the assessment!"
Zhang Wei did not indulge the other party and directly asked in a cold voice, "Yet without any evidence provided by authoritative institutions, you came to the front of my client’s clinic, slandering her for treating human life like grass, which has seriously affected my client’s reputation. We believe you are suspected of slander and defamation, which is also a criminal act."
"Furthermore, you have occupied the passageway outside the clinic, seriously affecting my client’s normal work, as well as the regular business and public order of the neighboring two companies. Your actions have severely disrupted their companies’ normal operations, and I will later invite the other two companies to come forward and sue you for your actions, demanding compensation for the direct economic losses caused!"
"You..." Hearing Zhang Wei’s intimidation, the relatives were suddenly at a loss for words.
They just came to "cause a scene," and not only did they not gain any benefits, but they might also have to pay compensation.
This was unacceptable!
The young man immediately made a signal with his eyes to his elderly mother.
The old mother immediately understood, squeezed out a few tears, and then began to sob, "Martial Association comrade, please stand up for us..."
Cry!
She began to cry again.
"Oh, right, there’s also the matter of you hitting and biting people, which we must pursue!"
Zhang Wei said, then walked over to a security guard, lifted his sleeve to reveal a clear set of bite marks.
Then he went to another security guard, lifted his sleeve, and there were several scratch marks on his arm with streaks of blood.
"Xia Field Officer, not only are these people causing trouble without reason, but they also attacked and beat up these security guards. Do their actions also constitute creating a public disturbance? For public safety, take them away and lock them up for a few days; that wouldn’t be too much, would it?"
"You’re talking nonsense; we didn’t!"
"The ones hitting were these security guards; they’re all big and strong, throwing us out."
"Exactly, exactly, these people are the bad ones, we’re the victims, we’re the ones seeking justice!"
The relatives protested one after another, with the young man flatly denying everything.
"You say you didn’t do it, but everything requires evidence!"
Zhang Wei smiled, took out his phone, and played a video for Xia Donghai.
"Let go of me, let go of me!"
"You dare to touch me? I have learned martial arts, be careful I might kill you!"
"I’ll bite you bastards to death, a bunch of mongrels in dog skins, let me down, let me down!"
In the video, it was this young man who was kicking and hitting the security guards, and although the security guards were angry, they did not fight back.
"Xia Field Officer, you see, this is the scene that just occurred. These security guards have it tough, being hit and not daring to retalire, while they are the ones who hit first."
"Understood!"
Xia Donghai nodded; he could see what happened.
These relatives were just there to make trouble.
"Take them away, back to the station!"
With a wave of Xia Donghai’s hand, the field officers sprang into action, moving toward the relatives.
"You can’t touch me, I..."
"I’d advise you to save your energy. Field officers have the power to enforce the law. If you resist again and hit them, it would then be the serious crime of assaulting law enforcement officers. Go on, make a scene and see if the prosecutor dares to charge you, sending you to prison for three to five years!"
Just as the relatives were about to struggle and resist, Zhang Wei said coldly from the sidelines.
This time, they didn’t dare to really fight back.
At least they were all scared.
They knew that if they did something that would land them in jail, people have a sense of fear.
The relatives, led by the young man and his elderly mother, were then taken away.
However, Zhang Wei knew that this group would definitely not give up so easily.
From the look they gave him when they left, Zhang Wei knew that they would definitely continue to pester relentlessly.
Zhang Wei looked up.
He felt that for the foreseeable future, Jessica’s work needed some adjustments.
