Chapter 34: Chapter 32 It was Manager Bai who told me to do it! (Please follow)

Within Tengda Law Firm, Old Song looked out the window and said, "Why isn't Old Tang back yet? Is he not coming back?"

By his side, Li Wanting laughed and said, "Teacher Song, you've almost said that a hundred times this month, right? Didn't Brother Tang say he was nearly done?"

"But who would have thought that he'd actually sue '企鹅'? If the evidence is insufficient and the other party doesn't want to settle and refuses to give him information, and he loses the lawsuit, what should he do then? Young people do not understand the ways of the world; even if they get the other party's personal information, what can they do with it? It's not worth it.

I can't understand what he's thinking!"

Old Song voiced his dissatisfaction there.

While they were talking, a voice came from outside the law firm's door: "Who told you it wasn't worth it, Old Song?"

Huh? Old Song turned his head and there was Tang Fangjing, who had not been seen for a month.

"You're back already? Did you get the other party's personal information?" Old Song asked in astonishment.

"Of course!" Old Tang said with disdain: "And do we pursue lawsuits just for the money? That's vulgar, too vulgar. Think bigger!"

"Don't you think it would be nice to have the other party sewing prison uniforms?"

What is that? Both Old Song and Li Wanting were at a loss, their faces blank. They had just been wondering what wouldn't be considered vulgar, and then, look at what you're saying—is that even human language?

"All this is for the sake of our law firm, to expand our case sources. Wait for my news," he said.

Returning to his home after a month's absence, Tang Fangjing felt no joy, only a pressing sense of urgency.

The criminal self-prosecution must proceed faster; otherwise, once the owners' committee is established and they start auditing the accounts and get into lawsuits, by then I might as well be playing my own ribs like a xylophone.

I might as well head to the court first; it's been a while since I've been there, and I find myself missing it...

His beloved little electric scooter was still parked outside, and you have to say, the battery isn't bad—it hasn't lost a charge in a month and rides just fine!

As he rode out, he greeted the chatting neighbors, leaving a group of them staring blankly after him, wondering if this young man had finally returned?

The news of Tang Fangjing's return quickly appeared in the homeowners' chat group, but by that time, everyone's interest had already waned significantly. He's back, so what? They were indifferent.

General Manager Hou also received the news, but he didn't make much of it either. Although the preparations were said to be on hold, that was just a euphemism.

The previous preparation was also called "on hold," so if we were to prepare again, wouldn't we have to start from scratch?

"But, General Manager Hou, I've heard that Tang Fangjing went to the courthouse..."

General Manager Hou waved his hand and said, "It's very normal for a trainee lawyer to go to the courthouse, right? He probably felt too ashamed to face people earlier, so he went off for a round of fun. It's nothing."

No one thought there was an issue. Secretary Tian, however, was kind, thinking of having a talk with Tang Fangjing once he returned, as she felt there was something problematic about this young man's way of thinking...

Kong Xiufang hesitated but still spoke, "Manager Bai, the person calling just now said they are from the Lanshan Road police station, asking where I am..."

"Why on earth would the police station call you out of the blue? It's obviously a scam. Just focus on your work."

No sooner had Manager Bai finished speaking than a police car pulled up nearby. Two officers got out and called, "Kong Xiufang, who is Kong Xiufang?"

The police really had come. Manager Bai and President Hou looked at each other and said nothing, while Kong Xiufang could only pluck up the courage to say, "That's me."

The leading officer stepped forward and said, "Kong Xiufang, right? Your ID number... We're from the Bright District substation. We've now received a criminal case filing notice from the Guangming District Court. You are suspected of internet defamation and we are hereby summoning you for questioning!"

"This is the summons notice. Please come with us."

A summons is essentially just a call for questioning within a specified time. If there's no further procedure after the time is up, they must release the person.

But ordinary people don't care about that. At that moment, Kong Xiufang was completely dumbfounded, trembling as she said, "Comrade, have you made a mistake? How could I possibly commit a crime? What, what exactly is going on?"

"Manager Bai, please speak up for me. I've been working for the company this whole time. I didn't do anything!"

Manager Bai hesitated and then similarly stepped forward, "Well... Comrades, she has indeed been working for the company all this time. What exactly is this about?"

"I've already said, internet defamation. You know exactly what you've done. Come with us now."

What? Internet defamation?

Kong Xiufang began to rack her brains. She understood clearly what defamation meant, internet defamation, I haven't... wait, could it be that matter?

She couldn't believe that such a thing could lead to her current predicament, but after thinking it over, it seemed that only that issue could be related to internet defamation.

But that was for the company's sake!

With this in mind, Kong Xiufang quickly called out, "Comrade, comrade, please wait, is it about Tang Fangjing's issue? But that was arranged by the company, it was Manager Bai who instructed me to do it..."

What? The police officers, ready to leave with her, turned back to look at Manager Bai with a puzzled gaze.

There were many residents coming and going at the entrance, and now they were all crowding around to watch the excitement. As they listened, they felt something was off. How had this gotten tangled up with Tang Fangjing?

Kong Xiufang was now too panicked, and remembering how Manager Bai had promised ten thousand but only gave five thousand, she started spilling everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"It was really all arranged by Manager Bai, it has nothing to do with me..."

"Right, look, I still have recordings on my phone. The calls Manager Bai made to me can prove it. Take a look!"

Next to her, Manager Bai was equally stunned. The situation had developed too quickly for him to react.

How did one thing lead to another?
