Chapter 99 The Rule of Law Society
"An, you don't need to worry, just leave all the problems to me." In the office, Thomson pressed An Rusong's shoulder and said with a smile, "Today In the morning, Mike also called me and asked me to pay attention to your matter, haha, even if it is not about Mike and us. The relationship between us is only considered from the perspective of professional ethics. I will do my best for your entrustment."
At this point, he winked and smiled, "After all, I am the receiver. It’s a lot of money, haha.”
You are really a real person, An Rusong thought to himself.
"So, Thomson, what do I need to do now?" An Rusong asked with a smile despite his resentment.
"You still need to cooperate with the relevant investigation, but it is only limited cooperation," Thomson thought for a while and said, "I have understood the details of the entire incident. You can rest assured that those guys have nothing against you. Evidence, no, no, accurate. He said that this matter has nothing to do with you or your company, and it is not a case.”
“Freedom of speech, this is a major feature of democracy,” Thomson said. He spread his hands and said, "Even considering the content in that video, There are issues of slandering and slandering others. The prosecutors can only pursue the responsibility of the video publisher, instead of holding the relevant media responsible. Is it possible that the prosecutors should pursue the responsibility just because someone posted illegal posts on the Yahoo forum. Yahoo! Inc. Responsibilities and Requirements Is Terry Semel cooperating with their investigation? "
Terry Semel is the president of Yahoo, but he resigned in June, and Thomson is just a lawyer. , it is estimated that the information in this regard is lagging behind.
"Limited cooperation?" An Rusong heard a term from the other party.
“Don’t they want to get the data information of NGN? Let them get it,” Thomson shrugged and said, “However, they can only copy the relevant data, but they cannot take anything away. Something.”
As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced outside, then pointed at the people with the word "KISA" on their vests, "Those guys are from the Information Security Department, and only they have the right to copy information. Except for those who open the server to them. Apart from the data, you don’t need to do anything, I will do it all Quan will handle it for you."
When he said this, An Rusong understood that the prosecutor Bai Gaoming was a paper tiger. According to legal procedures, this guy would not let him be the boss of his company. The chief took it away, and he didn't even have the authority to take away any computer here.
“As for the damaged equipment outside,” Thomson glanced outside and said, “You can make a list, and we can ask the Seoul Central District Inspection Office to compensate according to the price. At the same time, we can also You can ask them to make a public apology."
While he was speaking, Prosecutor Bai Gaoming walked to the door of the office and saw that he was hesitant to speak, but he was not as arrogant as before. posture.
"The Republic of Korea is a country governed by the rule of law. No person or official has any power beyond the law, let alone any form of persecution against a law-abiding citizen." Looking back, Thomson raised his voice, Said, "Mr. An, please rest assured that as your attorney, I will use my professional ethics and professional capabilities to protect your rights and interests to the greatest extent."
"Thank you, Thomson, then, everything is up to you," An Rusong stretched out his hand, shook hands with the other person, and said with a smile.
“This is what I should do,” Thomson said. “Next, you can handle your work. I will handle the legal matters for you.”
Words After finishing, he nodded to An Rusong, then walked to the door of the office, and said to Prosecutor Bai Gaoming standing there: "Bai Gaoming" Prosecutor Gao Ming, I think we should have a good talk next."
Looking at Thomson blocking Bai Gaoming from the door, An Rusong let out a soft breath. At this time, he was extremely excited. I am glad that I got to know Mike and lawyer Thomson, and actually spent a lot of money to hire Thomson to represent him in his personal legal affairs.
As for what happened today, if Lawyer Thomson hadn't arrived in time, even if Bai Gaoming didn't have the legal procedures in his hands, he, an ordinary small company owner, would have suffered a big loss.
Thomson said that the Republic of Korea is a country governed by the rule of law, and no one has power beyond the law. Haha, just listen to these words, don't take them seriously.
Just like a prosecutor like Bai Gaoming, he does not have power beyond the law, but the problem is that he has the power to use the law as a weapon to deal with An Rusong, and in the process of dealing with him Even if there are some illegal and non-compliant areas, people still have plenty of time to make up for it.
Indeed, everyone has the right to use the law to protect their rights and interests, but the premise is that you must also have the opportunity to defend yourself, right? Under the oppression of the powerful, how can a humble citizen get a chance to defend himself?
In addition, with a really good lawyer, you not only don’t have to worry about being cheated, but you can also save a lot of trouble. Just like now, An Rusong doesn't have to worry about anything. Thomson will naturally handle everything. He doesn't even have to leave the office.
With Thomson, the people brought by Bai Gaoming seemed to turn into gentlemen in an instant. Including Bai Gaoming himself, everyone who was not wearing a vest hid at the door of the office area. Only Those in vests were busy among the machines.
Not only that, every time the man in a vest moves a machine, the foreigners with cameras and camcorders will come over and take pictures. Not only that, occasionally if something was knocked to the ground, Thomson would immediately rush over and make a fuss about it, as if these people were causing some damage. This made all of these people look nervous, fearing that something would go wrong.
Especially when copying the server data information, Thomson was there to keep an eye on it. He also asked the people brought by Bai Gaoming to make a list of the copied information and asked Bai Gaoming himself signed a confidentiality agreement.
An Rusong watched the entire process and gained a relatively direct understanding of the judicial system of the Republic of Korea.
Bai Gaoming and his party stayed at NGN Company for nearly two hours. During this period, despite the pressure created by Thomson, prosecutor Bai Gaoming never bowed to An Rusong. Although An Rusong was looking forward to the other party bowing his head to him, he also knew that the possibility of that scenario happening was unlikely. The prosecutor still has to save his face, especially when facing a small businessman like himself. The final solution to today's farce is nothing more than the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office paying compensation to NGN Company for the broken computers. Monitor, the compensation amount may be slightly higher. As for the apology, I guess Thomson will not insist on it.
After Bai Gaoming and his party left NGN Company, Thomson also left with his people. Before leaving, the lawyer specifically informed An Rusong that as long as there were legal issues, no matter which prosecutor came to the door, he would Regardless of whether the prosecutor who comes to your door has a search warrant or arrest warrant, you must contact a lawyer as soon as possible and resolutely exercise your right to remain silent until the lawyer arrives. If Thomson is taken away by prosecutors before his lawyer arrives, he must ask for the cameras in the interrogation room to be turned on and continue to exercise his right to silence.
Lawyer Thomson gave many detailed instructions, and An Rusong kept them all in mind. After all, these matters related to his vital interests and he could not be careless.
After seeing off Lawyer Thomson, An Rusong held a small meeting with his employees, mainly to calm everyone down so that they would not have to worry about what happened today. The company had not broken any laws. , and will not be involved in cases involving illegal activities.
After appeasing the employees and asking the cleaners to clean up the messy office area, An Rusong was about to return to his office when he heard a cell phone ringing from the office.
He subconsciously touched his pocket and realized that he didn't have his cell phone with him.
Walking quickly back to his office, An Rusong found his ringing cell phone on his desk. Looking at the screen, he saw that the caller was Shen Tai'an.
With a thought in his heart, An Rusong pressed the answer button, then sat back in his chair and put the phone to his ear.
"Rusong, this is Shen Tai'an," Shen Tai'an's voice soon came over the phone.
"Uncle Tai'an," An Rusong said in a respectful tone despite being extremely disgusted with this old guy.
"Where are you?" Shen Tai'an asked.
"In the company," An Rusong also said concisely, but he quickly added, "What's the matter, Uncle Tai'an."
"Do you have time now?" There was silence for two seconds on the phone. , Shen Tai'an asked.
Do you have time?
This was the first time An Rusong heard such a polite greeting from Shen Tai'an. With a move in his heart, he realized that his adventure should be successful.
"Of course I have time, Uncle Tai'an," An Rusong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Come to Yiyuandong, my law firm, on the 8th floor. You have been here before," Shen Tai'an said on the phone.
"Now, Uncle Tai'an?" An Rusong asked.
"Well, it's best now," Shen Tai'an said.
"Then I'll be there right away," An Rusong said in a respectful tone, "it will take about twenty minutes."
"I'll wait for you," Shen Tai'an seemed to be smiling on the phone He smiled and said.
After hanging up the phone, An Rusong looked at the phone screen and touched his chin wordlessly.
He knew that Shen Tai'an looking for him at this time must be related to the video he sent to the NGN chat group, but he didn't know if this adventure had been noticed by Councilor Kong.
Just sitting in his office, he must not be able to think of anything. An Rusong stood up, took the car keys and left the office.
