Chapter 1657 Annoying
Lawrence also knew that the government would definitely not agree to his request.
But it doesn’t matter. His purpose is not to get compensation, but to show an attitude.
It's not that he didn't dare to do this, but he was not sure whether there was any trap, so he chose to swallow his anger.
Now that he has Digital Phantom backing him up, what is he afraid of?
Lawrence was born into a middle-class family and lived a relatively affluent life since childhood, which made him not very fond of gambling.
But at the same time, through what he had seen and heard, he understood the importance of opportunity.
After making sure that he had really clung to the Digital Phantom's lap, he even dared to consider taking his entire family on a wandering trip.
Therefore, confronting the government is not a big deal.
Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and the worst thing to do when seizing such a great opportunity is to be indecisive.
In fact, he also had a certain foresight about the consequences of his actions - the possibility that the government would take it seriously was small.
If it weren't for the last resort, the authorities would never release most of the suspects.
After being ignored by the government, he immediately said that the matter was not over yet and he would hire a lawyer to sue!
The government said coldly: As long as you can afford the money, we don’t care!
Everyone knows very well that the government cannot lose this case, otherwise there will be tens of thousands of similar cases.
However, Lawrence's stubbornness has caused the government some headaches, because many people have already submitted the same application.
Those who apply for compensation from Guojia have their own interests, including money, reputation, future, etc.
But these people have one thing in common: there are powerful forces looming behind them.
This is really not surprising. How could someone who can touch the level of the Tianwen project be a simple person?
Among these people, Lawrence is basically in the middle and lower levels in terms of cultivation, status and relationship with the big guys.
One official couldn't help but suggest, "He's just a small B-level person, not a top-level person. Why don't we deal with him as a warning to others?"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Upon hearing this, the chief officer couldn't help but curse.
"The result of the handling may not be deterrence, but give those people a reason to join forces!"
In fact, Lawrence had thought of this possibility, which was why he dared to be so tough.
However, although it is not convenient for the government to deal with Lawrence directly, there are workarounds.
Not long after, Lawrence's boss contacted him and asked what happened.
In addition, other friends also contacted him, even the landlord of the courtyard where Lawrence's family rented.
Behind that landlord is the owner of the manor, who is considered to be a very prestigious person in the entire Tianyu Star.
However, Lawrence's answer was that before he was detained, he had already felt the need to break through the barriers, but he missed it.
That is an opportunity to reach A-level. Once he succeeds, his social class will have a qualitative leap!
Moreover, he did not want to carry such a stain in his future life, so he had to prove his innocence.
This reason left everyone speechless.
So Lawrence really started to make a fuss and even found a famous lawyer.
The lawyer's fees were extremely high and he could not afford them.
But Lawrence was very familiar with these thresholds and only paid a small part of the money himself, and asked someone to pay the rest.
It was an advance payment, not a loan; he used his future income as collateral.
Once he obtains compensation from Guojia, he will only take 20%, and the remaining 80% will be his remuneration.
Jing Yuexin had been watching coldly in the dark, and then found that she couldn't understand this operation.
So she asked the boss: Isn't this lawsuit inevitable? How could anyone be so stupid as to lend money?
Qu Jianlei laughed when he heard this, "It's only the lawsuit that will be lost, the person who borrowed the money may not lose."
He had also heard of similar operations on Blue Star.
In this kind of lawsuit, the bulk of the costs are borne by the lawyer, and most people who are willing to lend money have some relationship with the lawyer.
Since he is a famous lawyer, his skills are definitely not limited to professional ability. In comparison, his personal connections are more important.
In many film and television works, lawyers win lawsuits by relying on their eloquence and the loopholes they discover, but that only means that the case is not big enough.
A true great lawyer will only be a second-generation lawyer or a white-glove lawyer, not a small-town test-taker.
Anyway, since they dared to take this case, there is no doubt that they have strong backers.
However, this case is of great importance, and having a backer may not be of much use - the consequences of winning will be too serious.
However, not being able to win does not mean that you cannot make money. Once public opinion is created and the influence is exerted, the government will also be passive.
Then it is time for PY trading. In order to calm public opinion and get rid of pressure, government departments at all levels should use off-market resources.
These resources can be money, other lucrative businesses, or something else.
A true great lawyer's income would never come from litigation fees - if he really relied on that for a living, he would starve to death sooner or later.
Just ask for a favor and the money will be several times the litigation fee. The key is that they have powerful channels for monetization.
So it is difficult to win a lawsuit, but it is not difficult to ensure that you do not pay money.
Qu Jianlei concluded, "There are no fools in this society. The only one who is really at risk is... Lawrence."
He had heard too many cases of plaintiffs or witnesses dying unexpectedly.
Jing Yuexin nodded thoughtfully, "I said, I hate these personal connections the most... So, lawyers don't want a reputation anymore?"
In her impression, the reputation of a lawyer depends on his or her success rate in winning cases.
Qu Jianlei could only laugh when he heard this. "Taking such a big lawsuit that is bound to lose is actually a free publicity."
"Besides, he could have lost less completely and gotten some symbolic compensation for Lawrence, which would have been considered an explanation."
"But the premise is... Lawrence must live to see the end of the lawsuit."
However, when it comes to this, Jing Yuexin disagrees, "I think you still underestimate him. That guy is very cunning."
"I think so too," Qu Jianlei nodded, "The alliance must have its own local characteristics. It's normal that we don't know about them."
Jing Yuexin was silent for a long time before she grumbled, "These crap are so annoying."
But having said that, although it is annoying, it is really useful.
Just two days after Lawrence had been struggling, other fellow sufferers contacted him - he was not the only one who was not willing to give in.
However, most of these people who dare to make trouble have considerable strength, and Lawrence is basically at the bottom among them.
However, being the bottom line also has its uses.
Those people regarded him as someone they could use and hoped that he would charge into battle, so they contacted him on their own initiative.
But Lawrence didn't mind. Instead, he seemed very enthusiastic. During the contact, he even cursed the alliance from time to time.
Just looking at his current performance, it seems that it is not unfair to call him a spy of the empire.
Mrs. Lawrence was a little worried and reminded her husband not to give the government any evidence.
But Lawrence disagreed and said, "I was wronged by the alliance and detained for more than two years. Is it wrong to complain a little?"
Mrs. Lawrence insisted, "It's okay to complain, but there has to be a limit, right?"
Lawrence rolled his eyes helplessly. "If I say that I want to use this to lure out the empire's spies so that I can clear my name, is that enough?"
"Of course that's enough!" Mrs. Lawrence nodded in sudden realization. "You are smart, but you still have to be careful."
Lawrence sighed when he heard this, "When it's time to fight, you always have to fight!"
He knew very well in his heart that the risk was not low if he took this chance, but...it was worth it in the end.
Those who counted on him to lead the charge into battle were indeed not very stingy, and the information he wanted to know was sent to him continuously.
When he said that he wanted to disrupt the peace talks with the empire and needed some information, someone finally couldn't sit still.
In fact, the alliance did not really let these released guys go, and there have been many people collecting information.
Lawrence's reaction was also noticed by the alliance.
The alliance didn't deliberately monitor him because it was really not worth it, but if he could send out this signal, it would be dangerous.
They did not want anyone secretly communicating with the empire, but they could not tolerate anyone disrupting the peace talks.
In the final analysis, it is still the same concept - when it comes to national affairs, irrelevant people should stay out of it.
Lawrence's boss contacted him again and told him he'd better tone it down.
However, Lawrence said that he just wanted to work hard to get compensation from Guojia and deliberately did something out of the ordinary.
The boss also had a headache when he heard this. To be honest, this mentality and operation is really normal.
He even suspected that this was an idea proposed by a big lawyer in order to gain more profits.
He could only touch upon this matter briefly, because the war faction was also a considerable force in the alliance.
That’s right, although everyone believes that the alliance is doomed, there is still no shortage of advocates of war.
And the alliance can't do anything to these people - because they really dare to fight!
Only those who can fight can talk about peace. How can we negotiate with the empire if we don’t even have people who can fight?
After half a month of all this, Lawrence got a lot of information.
Qu Jianlei and the other man were not idle either. They wandered back and forth between several planets just to find out the Alliance's attitude towards Digital Phantom.
This information cannot be found on the Internet, and there is not even any decent official document.
But fortunately, the people in the alliance can still bring out some information through their daily bragging and gossip.
In terms of information barriers, the Alliance is indeed far behind the Empire and lacks the awareness of keeping secrets in its bones.
However, not much news came out from these people.
It could be that the Alliance needs the Empire to fight against aliens together, or the Alliance wants the Digital Phantom to "return".
There is also the Alliance's decision to abandon the Federation and the division of various interests in the peace talks.
It’s incredible. The Alliance has a plan to alienate the relationship between the Empire and Digital Phantom - after all, there are Alliance members in Digital Phantom.
I have to admit that the tactic of sowing discord is really effective, and there are too many similar incidents in human history.
In particular, the Digital Phantom wanders outside the mainstream society of the empire and is very unsociable, which is just right for sowing discord.
