"Your chat log is missing some information, like the records where the other party tells you how long you work each day and how much money they pay you. Find those and bring them to me."
"And this one, the record of the intermediary transferring money to you, they just sent it directly through WeChat? Okay, no problem, of course there's no problem."
Old Tang took a sip of water. Previously, Zhao Bin had said there would be just over thirty people, but over the course of the afternoon, more than fifty people had crowded in, and more were still arriving.
It was truly astonishing. The agency was making a fortune just from the referral fees alone, and on top of that, they were looking for all sorts of excuses to make deductions, delay payments...
Not only that, but they transferred wages directly via WeChat...
Without saying anything more, Old Tang thought he could make a trip to the tax office.
"Zhao Bin, is there no one else?"
Zhao Bin, who had been helping outside all this time, was equally parched and replied, "Lawyer Tang, no, I don't think anyone else is coming at this time."
"Alright, you can go back first then. Remember, tomorrow morning, at nine o'clock sharp, you must be at the Guanning substation. They don't need to go in."
Zhao Bin acknowledged and glanced at Tang Fangjing, who was still busy, then stepped out.
Once outside, he dialed a number: "Hello, Er Gouzi, for the matters concerning other intermediaries, look for someone else. Lawyer Tang is completely free of charge, and he hasn't had a break in a long time."
"The man's got late-stage cancer; what if something happens? Anyway, I'm making it clear; none of you better bother him, or I'll be the first to object!"
With Old Tang offering his services for free, naturally, more workers were tempted. If you're providing free legal aid to these people, then those of us who have been duped by other agencies wonder if we can also get free help...
People are always complicated.
But these people were held back by Zhao Bin and his friends.
Inside, Old Tang was bustling about. He could guess what was happening on the outside, but it didn't matter. If he had the time and money, helping out was certainly nothing to fault.
That was no problem then. When someone comes to file a report, naturally you can't stop them at the door.
And since they had thoughtfully selected a spokesperson, it was even less of a problem.
Old Tang followed the police officer into the office, and right before he sat down, he saw Old Lu come back.
"Hey, Lawyer Tang, what brings you to the station today?" Old Lu, with dark circles under his eyes, asked curiously.
He had been investigating the past internships at schools these past days, visiting various factories in Guanning District. What he uncovered was shocking.
The school had been organizing student internships for almost ten years now, initially with less boldness, but they grew bolder over time.
"Oh, I'm here to file a case today, Officer Lu, you go ahead with your work," Old Tang said offhandedly.
Upon hearing the phrase 'to file a case', Old Lu subconsciously touched his hair—after Tang's last case submission, he had to make cross-province arrests and stay up late gathering evidence, which made him lose quite a bit of hair.
The previous case wasn't even over yet, and here's another one?
No, he needed to keep his distance. His current case was almost concluded, and after that, he intended to take a good rest. At his age, he couldn't keep up.
After a few steps, Old Lu felt an itch of curiosity. Should he go over and listen?
Mainly because Lawyer Tang always played outside the box, and his criminal mindset was also quite different from that of an ordinary person.
So, he decided to go over and listen. It wouldn't hurt just to listen, right?
Old Tang followed the officer in front of him into the office, sat down without speaking, and saw Old Lu coming back again.
"Cough cough, well, Xiao Wang, you do your report, and I'll just listen."
The officer didn't object, knowing Old Lu would listen; if the case was accepted and reported, there was a high chance that he would be the one to review it since the substation was short-staffed and busy...
