[2] In mid-2014, a tenant was arrested by police from another jurisdiction for illegal gambling in the rented house. Just as the landlord, Chen, was about to clean up, the local police station under the district public security bureau came to seal the property. Chen then consulted Wang Tengfeng, a lawyer from Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm, for a solution. Lawyer Wang stated that while the tenant's gambling was a minor issue, since the police from another jurisdiction had already arrested the gambling tenant, there was no reason for the landlord to be punished or subjected to coercive measures. Therefore, Chen could confidently negotiate with the police, and Wang suggested that Chen first go to the local district public security bureau and police station to inquire before making a decision.

[3] After inquiry, the local police station, after some evasive talk, eventually stated that Chen's house had not been registered for rental management at the rental office, and this time they wanted to give a "lesson." They also repeatedly hinted and even suggested that Chen pay some "bribe money" to "spend money to avert disaster."

[4] "This is absolutely outrageous!" Upon learning this, Lawyer Wang advised Chen, "Don't give a single cent!" and not to back down, but to follow proper procedures in negotiating with the police. Meanwhile, entrusted by Chen, Lawyer Wang instructed his assistant Zeng Huiai to draft a lawyer's letter, which was sent to the district public security bureau and the local police station chief, sternly refuting this abuse of power. Soon, the district public security bureau called to apologize. Lawyer Wang calmly told them that as long as the police station corrected its illegal actions, his client Chen would not pursue the matter. Thus, two days later, the local police quietly removed the seal they had affixed a week earlier, and everything returned to normal.

[5] This case may seem minor, but it highlights a key point: when vulnerable groups face illegal injustice, they should not blindly seek connections or pay bribes, but should seek legal assistance and resolve the issue through proper channels and procedures. Only in this way can the situation avoid becoming complicated, making the weak's rights defense more justified, efficient, and straightforward.
