Grassroots lawyers also have their day

After the hearing began, the arbitrator was clearly pressuring Wang Chuan and Zheng Yi to agree to compensation. However, Wang Chuan and Zheng Yi had already reached an agreement and refused to agree under any circumstances. "Do whatever you want!"

"My son suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at your construction site, and you just washed your hands of it and didn't pay a single penny? Absolutely not!"

"And I suspect that my son's illness was caused by the previous work injury. I'm going to sue the labor bureau and demand that they recognize my son's injury as a work injury! I refuse to believe there's no place to seek justice!" the woman in her fifties persisted.

According to regulations, an injury can only be recognized as a work-related injury if the patient falls ill at work and during working hours, and fails to respond to emergency treatment within 48 hours.

The applicant fell ill in his dormitory, not at his workplace, and not during working hours. He was resting due to a foot injury sustained at work.

No matter how severe a foot injury is, it shouldn't affect the head and cause a cerebral hemorrhage, right?

"We believe the company bears no responsibility. The applicant's illness was entirely spontaneous and unrelated to the company; therefore, the company should not be liable for compensation," Wang Chuan said, finally unable to contain his anger.

"What do you mean? You won't give me money until my son dies? Are you cursing my son to die? I'll fight you!" With that, the woman in her fifties stood up and was about to rush over to tear into Wang Chuan and Zheng Yi.

Wang Chuan really wanted to say: Even if your son died, I wouldn't give you any money, because it wasn't a work-related injury at all. But in order not to escalate the conflict and add fuel to the fire, he held back.

"Applicant's agent, watch your step. Don't cause trouble here. Sit down!" The middle-aged arbitrator displayed his authority, slamming his hand on the table and shouting.

The woman in her fifties was stunned for a moment, hesitated, and then sat back down.

The sleazy-looking man sitting below was about to speak when the middle-aged arbitrator glared at him with a fierce look, causing him to swallow back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

"Alright, now both sides will make their final statements. Has the applicant's request changed?" the middle-aged arbitrator said angrily.

"No!"

"Respondent, can you mediate? What's your final decision?"

"No mediation, you decide!" Zheng Yi was also suppressing his anger.

"Alright, that's all for today. Go back and wait for the ruling!" The middle-aged arbitrator said, then snapped the case file shut. "Xiaofang, have both parties sign. The applicant should sign first, and then they can leave."

To avoid further disputes, the middle-aged arbitrator planned to have the woman in her fifties sign the papers and leave first, followed by the respondent, thus staggering their departure times.

But she made a mistake. The woman in her fifties was furious in court, and with the sleazy man constantly stirring things up, she wasn't going to leave!

As Zheng Yi, Wang Chuan, and Wei Ping walked out the door, six pairs of eyes were fixed on them from across the street.

"That's them, don't let them get away! Er Lengzi, you deal with the older man; Second Aunt, that young lad is yours, tear his mouth apart. The rest of the girl is mine." The sleazy-looking man stared at Wei Ping with lustful eyes, and instantly completed the task assignment.

The woman in her fifties, addressed as "Second Aunt," paused, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes as she looked at the sleazy-looking man beside her. But she didn't object; after all, Wang Chuan had provoked her during the court hearing earlier.

The three of them charged toward Wang Chuan and his two companions like hungry wolves.

"What are you trying to do? In broad daylight..."

Seeing the three men rushing towards him, Zheng Yi hadn't even finished speaking when Er Lengzi punched him in the shoulder, making him wince in pain. He reacted quickly, knowing this wasn't the time for reasoning. After taking the punch, he turned and ran towards the labor arbitration committee, shouting, "They're hitting someone! They've killed someone!"

The woman, in her fifties, rushed at him and unleashed a flurry of punches, stunning Wang Chuan. Fortunately, he was wearing a down jacket, so although he took several blows, Wang Chuan didn't feel much of a strain.

Wang Chuan, being young and impetuous, shoved the woman, who was over fifty years old, so hard that she fell onto the main road.

Just then, Wang Chuan heard Wei Ping scream. He turned around and saw a sleazy-looking man grabbing and pulling Wei Ping's hair.

Wei Ping had never been in a fight in her life, and she could count on one hand the number of times she had even witnessed one. Seeing the thuggish-looking man charging towards her with his teeth bared and claws out, she was completely terrified and could only scream.

Without saying a word, Wang Chuan rushed over and kicked the thug in the waist, sending him flying.

"Hey, you idiot, what the hell are you doing! Come and help me!" Seeing that he was no match for Wang Chuan, the thug-like man hurriedly called for help from the burly idiot who was running towards him.

It turned out that Er Lengzi had gone to chase Zheng Yi, but lost him and had no choice but to run back to help. Hearing the shady-looking man shouting, he rushed towards Wang Chuan.

Wang Chuan tried to run, but it was too late. He quickly pulled Wei Ping behind him. At that moment, Er Lengzi was already in front of him and punched him right in the face.

Wang Chuan was knocked off balance by the blow, and Er Lengzi rushed up right after him.

Seeing Wei Ping shouting and yelling for help, the woman in her fifties grabbed Wei Ping's hair and tried to scratch her face. If the grab landed, Wei Ping would definitely be disfigured.

Just then, Wang Chuan was grabbed by the collar by Er Lengzi and thrown over, crashing into the woman in her fifties. Actually, Er Lengzi didn't do it on purpose; in the chaos, he just threw her like that.

But as fate would have it, it was precisely this casual toss by the simpleton that saved Wei Ping. The woman in her fifties was violently pushed aside by Wang Chuan, falling to the ground cursing under her breath. A small clump of Wei Ping's hair was pulled out, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

The sleazy-looking man and the simpleton rushed up again. Wang Chuan realized that the sleazy-looking man was just there to grope her; his lecherous eyes were fixed on Wei Ping.

Back in junior and senior high school, besides playing the piano and "flirting," Wang Chuan spent most of his time appreciating Mr. Jin Yong's classic works (no wonder he didn't get into university). His hero complex was already deeply rooted in his heart from that time on.

Some say the hero complex is both a sentiment and a responsibility. Deep down, everyone yearns to be a hero and experience something truly awesome!

At this moment, how could the hot-blooded young Wang Chuan stand by and watch Wei Mei be beaten? So, with his heroic complex bursting forth, he suddenly bent down and shielded Wei Ping, who was squatting on the ground crying with her head in her hands, under his body, letting the simpleton and the thugs beat him up.

The woman in her fifties also got up and joined the fray, unleashing her signature wild, unrestrained punches to the fullest extent.

The sleazy-looking man had intended to take advantage of the situation, but Wang Chuan ruined his plans. Enraged, he gritted his teeth and lashed out at Wang Chuan, but unfortunately, he was weak and his punches did little to harm Wang Chuan.

But the big, burly guy was different; his fists were like leather hammers. If they kept hitting him like that, Wang Chuan might lose half his life.

As Er Lengzi threw his second punch, the sound of police sirens came from afar, rapidly approaching.

Someone called the police! How novel! A fight broke out right in front of the Labor Arbitration Committee. Even the security guard standing by couldn't stand it, but he just didn't dare to come over. He was still mentally supporting Wang Chuan and the others.
