And after he was discharged from the hospital, he was looking for a weighty opponent to take on, for a proper fight!
He had been considering a major law firm, like DaFeng, as he had found them irritating for a long time, always popping up and adding trouble whenever there was a case.
But unexpectedly, there were just too many bizarre things happening online, and this netizen called "Li the Driver" had sent him a big job directly!
What's the point of tangling with a law firm? Nothing compared to the fun of tangling with a court!
So, Old Tang didn't hesitate and immediately replied to the message, "If the case is as you say, I can come and meet you to learn more about the situation in detail."
Without a doubt, if someone had sought him out online, it was certainly because no local lawyers would take the case.
Lawyers often talk about connections, and if a lawyer has the most awesome connections, those would certainly be with the courts.
Now, for such a trivial matter, getting into a tussle with the courts isn't something local lawyers would want to do, nor would lawyers from other places be keen...
Let's give DaFeng a pass for now, they can jump around for a couple more days.
On the other hand, in the inland province of Hanxi, which is less economically developed compared to Handong Province...
It's widely accepted that where economic foundations are strong, the degree of legal governance is relatively high.
The economic level of Xiping City is significantly less than that of Jingzhou.
At this time, a taxi driver named Li Yong, with the online username "Li the Driver," was busy picking up passengers.
He had long forgotten that he had sent a private message to Lawyer Tang, as it had been such a long time.
He had sent it three months ago without expecting a reply, and over time, the message had slipped his mind.
His mother had found cleaning work to do, as she couldn't just sit idle, and they were managing their lives as best as they could.
He had no expectations that someone would dare to confront the court head-on.
"So, give me your contact information, let's add each other on WeChat, I'll be there in one or two days. We'll have a detailed talk then, no problem, right?" Old Tang sent another message.
"No problem, Lawyer Tang, please add me, my phone number is..."
After exchanging phone numbers, they quickly added each other on WeChat and discussed the specifics of the case further.
The noodles arrived, and Li Yong put down his phone, still unable to wrap his head around the idea that "having the court as the opponent would excite me," the words of Lawyer Tang leaving him perplexed.
But, at last, someone was willing to help...
Elsewhere, inside Tengda Law Firm, an array of lawyers were busy at work, occasionally breaking into discussions or legal consultations.
But at that moment, loud laughter broke the professional atmosphere.
"Hahaha, I love this case, I really love it, hahaha!"
The other lawyers looked at each other, wondering if Lawyer Tang's illness had worsened...
Or perhaps, Lawyer Tang hadn't continued with his psychiatric treatment during his hospital stay?
"Tang Fangjing!" Old Wang called from the office doorway, "What are you doing, yelling like that in broad daylight?"
Old Tang was in a good mood and casually replied, "Director Wang, don't be so serious. I've found a great case. I'm overjoyed. This one's going to be big!"
Hearing the words "big job," Old Wang reflexively began massaging his temples, dreading what Old Tang meant by "big job."
When other lawyers talked about landing a big job, they may just be jesting, but if Tang Fangjing spoke of a big job, it was likely something that would rock the whole internet!
"Old Tang, what is this big job exactly? Tell me first, let me be mentally prepared," Old Wang pleaded earnestly.
"What mental preparation? There's no need, Director. In a few days, when the contract is signed, you'll know. I'm going to give you a huge surprise!"
"Alright, Director, I need to book my ticket now. I've got to travel again. Can the firm advance the travel expenses for me?"
