Chapter 8 — I Was Forced to Pay 400,000 Yuan for an Unreal Window

But now… Everything was completely out of control. I was pushed to the front of the storm. Become a symbol representing the fight against unscrupulous investors. This is just an opportunity. But it is also extremely dangerous. People like Liu Jianjun... Have been wandering around Giang Thanh for many years. Relationships and forces are as intertwined as the roots of a tree. Today, although he lost face in public... But he absolutely cannot be ignored like that. As long as he regains his strength... He will definitely counterattack crazily and take revenge on me. Relying on my own strength... It's very difficult to fight him to the end. I looked at the messages full of expectations in the resident group... Suddenly I understood what I should do next. I can't keep fighting alone anymore. I need to really gather the strength of these hundreds of households. Turn claiming individual rights... into a collective struggle. Only like that... We are qualified to confront Liu Jianjun. Only like that... Is there any hope of completely solving this abandoned apartment building problem. Thinking of this... My mind suddenly became clear. I turned on the computer. Start searching for relevant laws and similar successful claims online. Just exposing one lie... Is not enough. I want to turn this… into a real steel case. One incident was enough to seriously hurt Liu Jianjun. Enough for him to pay a heavy price for his arrogance and deception. What I want… More than just an apology. Or some compensation. What I want... Is all of us residents... To get back the house that belongs to us. Justice comes late. I flipped through the phone book. Found a name I haven't contacted for a long time. That's my college friend. After graduating, he entered the largest law firm in Giang Thanh. Currently a veteran lawyer. It's time for the pros to step in. I took a deep breath. Then click call.

"Hello, old friend? It's me, Chu Nhien."

“I have a big case.”

“Are you interested in accepting?”

As soon as the phone was connected, a familiar voice immediately rang out on the other end of the line, carrying a teasing smile.

"Oh, is that Miss Chu? Is the sun rising in the west today? You actually remember a worker like me."

The person I call is Truong Vi. My college friend used to sleep on my top bunk. Also the most famous student in the Law course that year. After graduating, he smoothly joined Giang Thanh's leading law firm. Thanks to his talent and dedication to work, in just a few years he became one of the youngest partners of the company. I'm not in the mood to joke around anymore, let's get straight to the point:

“Old Truong, I encountered something and wanted to ask for your help.”

Truong Vi immediately withdrew his joking tone. The sound became completely serious.

"What's going on? Speak slowly, don't rush."

It took me about ten minutes... Tell me everything from the time I received Vuong Chi Cuong's phone call until I was taken to the police station. From start to finish. No details are missed. On the other end of the phone, Truong Vi was always silent. Just listen quietly. It wasn't until I finished telling... He was silent for a few seconds, then let out a very soft laugh but couldn't hide his excitement.

"Chu Nhien... this is not a disaster for you."

“Obviously found a treasure.”

I was stunned by this sentence.

“What do you mean? muscle? I was pushed in my face and wanted to extort 400,000 yuan, but you still call it a treasure?"

“You don't understand.”

Truong Vi's voice clearly showed professional excitement.

“A normal abandoned apartment lawsuit, no matter how large the amount of money in dispute, once brought to court, will be extremely persistent. Investors have a ton of ways to extend the time. After three years, five years... many homeowners can't stand it themselves."

“But your case is different.”

He stopped for a moment. Seems to be rearranging his thoughts.

“Your case has a perfect breaking point.”

“A point that can immediately ignite public opinion…”

“At the same time, it makes the investor completely unstable both legally and ethically.”

“That's…”

“That ‘window does not exist’.”

Truong Vi directly penetrated the core.

“The investor's stupidity and arrogance personally gave you a huge gift.”

“‘The management team colluded with the investor, using a non-existent window to slander the homeowner, demanding compensation of 400,000 yuan.’”

“Is this title explosive enough?”

“Any newsroom, any media channel will not ignore this type of news.”

“What is this called?”

“God gave me the opportunity.”

I can't help but admire his professional acumen. While I was still thinking about how to deal with Liu Jianjun's revenge... Zhang Wei saw the huge value that could be exploited behind the whole thing.

“So what do you mean?”

“My point is very simple.”

Truong Vi's voice became decisive and clear.

“We can't just focus on your personal slander.”

“This fire must be made even bigger.”

“Burn straight to the core problem — abandoned apartments.”

“What we need to do…”

“Not to help you clear your name.”

“But representing all residents of the third area, filing a collective lawsuit against the investor.”

“Your incident this time…”

“It is the trumpet to declare war.”
