“But I can’t help it, I really can’t. The gym can’t continue operating; the loss is too great. After paying off the employees, we just can’t survive.”

“At first, I thought it was possible… now I’m telling you, I really can’t refund the money…”

Once these words were spoken, the crowd became agitated, and the swearing at him started all over again.

This was Tian Liben’s approach to handling the situation, just lying down and taking the blame, insisting it was due to poor management – nowadays, who can guarantee a business to always profit?

But this cannot go on forever.

At some point, you have to provide a solution to the problem; otherwise, this scene can never end.

...

The relevant department’s staff also grew increasingly impatient.

Then, at this point, Tian Liben would finally offer a compensation plan.

This plan would generally start two months later, claiming that the boss needed time to raise funds and borrow money.

“Look, you want money; my boss borrowing money to pay you should be acceptable, but you have to give us some time.”

And then, he would arrange it as an installment repayment method, detailing how much each person would get paid and how to pay it back.

The folks defending their rights would believe him, because such a detailed plan couldn’t possibly be a scam.

This buys him two months, and after two months, he’ll spin some other story to delay further – stalling was his responsibility as a guard dog.

However, just when Tian Liben was playing poor and pitiful, the door to the conference room opened, and a leader from market supervision entered with several policemen.

“You must be Tian Liben, we are the Court Police from Jingzhou Intermediate Court,” the leading Court Police officer stepped forward and said.

Huh? Tian Liben was stunned, and those defending their rights were even more confused. What was this about?

“Hey, what are the Court Police from Jingzhou Intermediate Court doing looking for Mr. Tian?” someone whispered nearby.

Another person shook their head: “Who knows, but this Mr. Tian is definitely no good…”

But after his initial shock, Tian Liben quickly retorted: “What do the Court Police from Jingzhou Intermediate Court want with me? I haven’t committed any crime.”

“You haven’t committed a crime?” the Court Police quickly replied. “Over the past three years, you’ve impersonated a company employee twenty-one times to act as a legal representative in lawsuits. You call this not committing a crime?”

“This is an extremely serious interference with judicial activities, do you understand?”

What? Tian Liben now truly started to worry. How did the court know about these things?

Yet he still pretended to be unaware and said: “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

However, those defending their rights were taken aback upon hearing this, hey, isn’t this similar to their situation?

So, everyone crowded closer to listen more attentively.

Seeing this, the Court Police were a bit surprised but continued: “You don’t know, is that right? No problem, this is a judicial detention notice from Jingzhou Intermediate Court for your interference with judicial activities, ordering a fifteen-day detention.”

“And this, is a fine notice, imposing a fine of 100,000 yuan on you. If you disagree, you can apply for a review with the higher court, but the review does not affect the detention and fine, is that clear?”

Now Tian Liben was truly shocked. He had no idea that the court even had the authority to punish someone who was not involved in the cases!

“What? What are you doing, on what basis are you fining me? What rights do you have to fine me? I’m not even an attorney, even if I acted as one in other courts, why would you be the one to fine me!”

He was reluctant, perhaps being detained was one thing, but the crucial point was the fine of 100,000 yuan.

For an individual, and him acting essentially as a professional guard dog, 100,000 yuan was no small amount.

After all, many of the projects he handled combined did not even amount to a few hundred thousand yuan.

However, the Court Police didn’t want to hear any of his explanations; the leadership was so aggravated by his words that their blood pressure shot up.

What, you only fear the Public Security Authorities, and think the court has no power?

Thus, after issuing a warning, the Court Police moved forward. If he didn’t cooperate with the judicial detention, they could indeed use police equipment.

Click! Handcuffs were placed on Tian Liben’s wrists, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he stopped resisting.

Just as the Court Police were preparing to leave with him, the crowd of those defending their rights surrounded them.

One woman stepped forward and said: “Officer, please don’t leave yet, wait a moment. You just said that this person previously impersonated other company employees to act as a legal representative, what’s that about?”

“He told us he was the legal affairs of Crazy Horsepower Gym, specifically handling this matter…”

The Court Police exchanged glances, then one spoke: “He’s claiming to be the legal affairs of this company now?”

“This person has impersonated employees from twenty-one different companies over the past three years, then represented these companies in court. There was one just a few days ago, right?”

Another Court Police nodded: “Yes, one of our cases at the Intermediate Court. He claimed he was the legal affairs of Yinghuang Training Company, but was exposed by Lawyer Tang…”

The people finally realized.

“So, he has no relation with that company at all?”

The Court Police nodded: “Based on previous cases, he indeed isn’t part of the company; he appears to have been earning fees through such impersonations.”

“F*ck! F*cking having money to hire representatives but no money to pay is it!” someone cursed.

“And you, you were just putting on airs, weren’t you, playing the role of company legal affairs? After all this, it turns out you’re just getting paid for services, collecting such dirty money, aren’t you afraid of retribution?”
