Chapter 921 -297: I Really Like This Case!_2
Looking deeply at the other party, Lawyer Tang asked again: “So, did you write it?”
Lan Baosheng nodded and said: “I did write it because, after calculating my compensation and such, it was roughly close to 150,000 yuan.”
“I figured if they pay me this money, then I surely won’t have anything to do with them anymore. Whether to report them or not wouldn’t matter; I could withdraw it.”
“But they found issues with the commitment letter I wrote at that time, so they brought out their own commitment letter…”
At this point, Lawyer Tang asked again: “Was it already prepared in advance?”
“Yes, it was a printed commitment letter, roughly stating that I, Lan Baosheng, promise to withdraw the reported allegations against the municipal company’s illegal projects within one day after receiving a payment of 140,000 yuan from the payer.”
“Moreover, it mentioned that severance compensation and reimbursements for various expenses would be settled within one day after withdrawing the report, and within a day of settlement, I would withdraw the reports on the municipal company’s social security payments.”
Perhaps it was because he had been in the Detention Center for a while, Lan Baosheng was a bit incoherent, but Lawyer Tang still understood clearly.
This company definitely consulted with legal professionals, and even the trap itself was likely designed by them.
It involved not just the law but also human nature!
Because in this commitment letter, the money given for withdrawing the report, the 140,000 yuan, is specifically separated from the severance compensation Lan Baosheng claimed and other funds!
In such a situation, it is very easy to be deceived. You might think you are getting compensation, but once you sign that name, the situation becomes completely different!
“Did you sign it?”
Lan Baosheng nodded and said: “I did sign it, but afterward I felt something was off. My estimated compensation was around 140,000 to 150,000 yuan, so I asked them why they needed to write about the compensation in the back, but they wouldn’t say.”
“Then we argued for half a day, and I tore up the commitment letter and left.”
“What happened next?” Lawyer Tang was very interested.
Lan Baosheng might not know much about law, but he could tell something was wrong with that commitment letter, which was somewhat reassuring.
After pondering, Lan Baosheng said: “We met a few more times later, couldn’t come to terms, so I went to collect evidence and filed for labor arbitration, thinking there was no other option; without arbitration, it couldn’t be resolved.”
“The Bright District Arbitration Committee accepted the case, and about three days later, the HR manager notified me to come to the company for my termination paperwork. After I arrived, they said they’d already received the arbitration notice and offered me 50,000 yuan.”
“At that time, I thought that since I had really initiated the arbitration, they wanted to give me the money first. Since I was in need of money, I accepted, and then they handed me a receipt to sign, saying it was necessary for the company’s accounting.”
“After that, I just waited for the court session. But before it even started, I was arrested for extortion. Lawyer Tang, you say…”
He was not finished speaking when Lawyer Tang interjected: “Wait a minute, was there anything special about that receipt?”
Lan Baosheng thought for a while and said: “It was just a normal receipt issued by the company. I didn’t pay much attention because I thought that since we were in arbitration, they wanted to settle, and taking the money was fine…”
Sighing as he looked at Lan Baosheng, who still seemed somewhat confused, Lawyer Tang couldn’t help shaking his head. This truly was a situation where someone had been calculated against from beginning to end.
Looking at it this way, there must have been something wrong with that receipt as well.
“Lawyer Tang, during the previous interrogation, they claimed that the evidence against me was conclusive. What do you think…”

Lawyer Tang cut him off, saying: “Currently, I can’t review the files, so I’m not clear how conclusive the evidence is, but I’m going to give it my all to help you, rest assured.”
“And I can clarify for you now, your case has not reached the so-called stage of conclusive evidence. Tell me, did you notify the company after you made the report?”
Lan Baosheng shook his head: “At that time, I just wanted revenge. If they didn’t pay me, I wasn’t going to let them off easily. I didn’t even notify them, and I’m curious how they found out.”
“There you have it. They must have learned from someone else that you were the one who reported it, so the evidence is not conclusive. There is at least one point we can argue.”
“Alright, hang in there.”
After a pause, Lawyer Tang revealed a strange smile: “I really like your case!”
For some reason, Lan Baosheng felt a chill seeing this smile, because Lawyer Tang looked disturbingly like a madman…
It was said that Lawyer Tang was a bit unstable mentally…
Lawyer Tang had already gone to call the prison officer to end the visit. He genuinely liked this case very much; it’s true what they say, a case concocted by Ju Haiqing’s childhood friend indeed stood out from the rest.
Such an experience is really too much for most people to encounter.
But in the future, who knows? The internet is full of videos and cases teaching workers how to defend their rights, and there are those who say you can report this or that to force a company to give in.
Yet they do not consider that if righteousness is high, evil is even higher; how could a company be so easily manipulated?
So during an economic downturn, such struggles will become increasingly unscrupulous.
In fact, in his previous life, Lawyer Tang had seen similar cases, but being an outsider, he was not clear on the details and whether it was the employees’ greed or if they had been calculated against.
Extortion, huh. In the novels Lawyer Tang read in his past life, the protagonist and his lawyer used this accusation to put away quite a number of people.
