Chapter 83: Chapter 71 You Can Entrust a Lawyer

"Hello, Master Luo, I'm calling to let you know that your money will be executed into place today. Please take some time to go to the enforcement bureau with me today to pick up the case closing notification and sign it."

On the other side of the phone, Luo Duancheng was so excited he almost jumped up. After such a long time, he could finally get the wages he deserved.

It really wasn't easy. Sometimes Luo Duancheng would wonder why it was so hard to get one's own money these days. He had done the work, yet it was such a hassle to get paid.

Not to mention that Lawyer Tang had been stabbed.

Of course, Luo Duancheng had no idea what exactly Lawyer Tang had done in this case. In fact, without his clever move of turning a civil case into a criminal one, without being prepared to "pierce the corporate veil" in advance, this case could have dragged on for another two years.

It couldn't be helped; Old Tang had to take it seriously. If the execution wasn't in place, then the lawsuit was as good as not filed, because litigation was always just a means to an end.

If you win a lawsuit and can't get the money, then the lawsuit only serves to add to the court's and lawyer's achievements and nothing else.

Listining to Luo Duancheng's excited voice on the phone, Tang Fangjing also smiled. Although he was doing it for his own task, he couldn't deny the great feeling of having helped someone.

And with the execution of the payment in place, looking at his task panel, the completion rate was a whopping four hundred percent!

This completion rate was already very high, just like with the property management incident.

Tang Fangjing guessed that it might be due to him being stabbed without using the "Death-Defying Rescue" power, or it might have to do with his angry confrontation with Lei Peng.

Anyway, whatever the reason, this degree of completion was certainly very satisfying!

During the property incident, he received Pain Shielding. This time, he wondered what reward he would get.

"System, claim the reward!"

Another six months of life were dispatched. Seeing the life balance breakthrough another year, Tang Fangjing finally felt at ease.

If this were a game, it would have been too difficult, like hoarding as much life balance as possible, like a hamster hoarding food.

"Integrated Fighting (Level One) has been dispatched."

The system's next prompt made Tang Fangjing's eyes sparkle; he finally got the capability to fight back!

Closing his eyes, he sensed the changes. Although it was still the same body, it felt significantly different.

Not only were his reflexes quicker but now, if someone wanted to attack, he knew exactly how to counter...

There was still more to explore slowly, however.

He was more than satisfied. Although he had been consistently working out, at his age, honestly speaking, his body was already set in its ways. Apart from other considerations, even stretching his muscles was a hassle.

And now, Old Tang could easily do a perfect split!

At this moment, Old Song pushed open the door and said, "Old Tang, we have some intern lawyers coming for interviews today. Do you want to pick one to mentor... What are you up to, Old Tang?"

"Ahem, just casually practicing. Oh, we have interns coming, right? I won't choose any; you pick a few and I'll just use them directly," Old Tang replied.

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Teacher Sun, what happened to my daughter?"

"Your daughter had a conflict with some classmates by the school toilets and stabbed them with a switchblade. The police have taken her away. You need to come to the police station near the school immediately!"

Old Liu felt like a bolt from the blue had struck him blind.

His daughter stabbing someone? How could that be possible?

In his eyes, his daughter was always rather well-behaved, hardly daring to even speak loudly, much less have the courage to stab someone with a knife.

But now wasn't the time for other words. Old Liu put down the kitchen knife, turned around to put on his shoes, and asked while doing so, "Teacher Sun, I'll be right there. Uh... how are those students now?"

"I don't know. They've all been taken to the hospital. You can ask for yourself when you get here."

After hanging up the phone, Old Liu rushed out the door. He drove as if he was taking off, and soon arrived at the nearby Renmin Road police station.

He stumbled out of the car into the police station and was quickly stopped by a police officer.

"Hey, hey, hold on. Comrade, who are you looking for?" Old Ge asked as he looked at the man in front of him.

"I... I am Liu Yan's father, didn't you arrest Liu Yan today, from Fifty-Seventh Middle School..."

Old Ge immediately understood and said, "Oh, you're the father of that girl. Come with me."

Once in the office area, Old Liu immediately saw his daughter's homeroom teacher.

"Teacher Sun, what exactly happened here? My daughter wouldn't do this without reason," he implored.

Teacher Sun, a woman in her thirties, replied sternly, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. How could such a thing happen all of a sudden? I'm at a loss myself."

The school's vice-principal, standing by with an expressionless face, was unhappy about the incident as well; nobody would come out well from an incident like this and, consequently, felt averse to Old Liu.

He couldn't help but say, "What kind of parenting is this? You raised your child to do this. Now those kids are in the hospital, you tell me..."

Faced with these accusations, Old Liu didn't know what to say and turned to ask, "Comrade, can I see my daughter? I want to hear the situation from her. She's only fifteen, after all!"

Old Ge shook his head and said, "You can't see your daughter right now. Her situation... is a bit grave."

During the investigation stage of a case, the investigating officer cannot disclose specific details, but Old Ge knew that four people had been stabbed, two of them seriously injured, and were currently in the hospital for emergency treatment.

This was also why the authorities had taken criminal enforcement actions. At fifteen, intentional injury with serious results was enough to meet the criminal standard.

"However, you can appoint a lawyer to meet with her."

A lawyer... Old Liu immediately thought of an acquaintance he knew, as now he could only turn to a lawyer.

He quickly dialed Tang Fangjing's number, and before he could say anything, he saw two people rushing over.

"Are you that bitch's father?"
