This year there was an example where a lawyer took on a case and, for various reasons, there was no progress. Perhaps he had boasted to his client before, so he was subjected to all kinds of questioning.
And then, dear brother, he forged a court subpoena... Yes, that's right, he forged a court subpoena!
The client took the subpoena to court for a hearing, and the court was like, "Holy shit, this is a fake-ass subpoena," and they called the police on the spot.
The brother lawyer was criminally detained for forging an official document of a state organ...
Writing it out, it sounds like a joke, but it really happened.
Old Tang would never make such a mistake. With his current status, he absolutely cannot afford to make a wrong move. One wrong step, and he would be stepping into hell.
Yu Hangshang's smile was very forced, and Wu Xiaozhen looked even worse, gritting her teeth, "Lawyer Tang, is there really no way to negotiate?"
"The negotiations are over. You had your chance during the last mediation. You know exactly how you behaved, trying to bargain as if attending mediation meant something special and even making threats. So let's forget about it."
Sometimes people really do have a cheap hide. Show them kindness, and they think you're easy to bully.
The family of three fell silent. If it were before, they might have tried to make one last threat, but they no longer harbored such thoughts—Lawyer Tang was truly ruthless.
"You're not leaving? Old Zhao, call the police and say someone is hindering my personal freedom!"
Finally out of options, the couple left, Wu Xiaozhen wiping tears, wanting to say something, but Old Tang had already reclined in the massage chair with his eyes closed.
The three could only leave, thinking about looking for Ju Haiqing.
Half an hour later, the couple looked at each other in silence after knocking on the door for a long time to no response.
Only after asking a neighbor did they find out that Ju Haiqing had gone on a long trip.
The advantage of being a web novelist is just that—you can stay anywhere with a laptop and some company. Old Ju simply went on a trip.
In Luzhou, Chi Yan had been feeling lately that nothing was enjoyable.
Caring for Tang Fangjing used to be genuinely fulfilling, but now, though still dedicated to her work, it felt meaningless.
Today, on her day off, she lay in bed clad in light clothing, scrolling through her phone.
And that's when she stumbled upon the search term, Tang Fangjing...
That name immediately grabbed her attention. In fact, Chi Yan searched Tang Fangjing online every day to see what he had been up to.
"Eh, another self-prosecution? Brother Tang still loves self-prosecution, huh." Chi Yan muttered to herself while looking at the online news.
But as she kept reading, she began to feel uncomfortable, notably from the comments section.
"I think, Lawyer Tang might have gone too far on this. After all, you were the one who proposed the conditions. If the other party agrees to them, you need to accept mediation."
"Right, that's what I think too. The other party agreed to mediation, but then you change your mind? That's not cool. What's the point of proposing the conditions then?"
"@Tang Fangjing, Lawyer Tang, come and explain, will you? Are you becoming too obsessed, insisting on sending someone to prison just because you set up a facade of doing so?"
"Let bygones be bygones. I think if the other party realizes the error, there's no need to insist on imprisonment. He's in his twenties, a criminal record would ruin his whole life. It's really unnecessary."
Indeed, as Old Tang's reputation slowly grew, even though he himself hadn't fostered any public persona and had been off social media for quite a while.
The netizens had willingly crafted one for him.
How Lawyer Tang, depending on his mood, sending the defendant in, or on a worse day, sending the opposing lawyer in, and on a truly bad day, even sending the bailiff knocking the gavel in...
Mainly, in the past cases that Lawyer Tang took on, the defendants mostly ended up behind bars.
Initially, this persona was just fun to talk about, but some people didn't like it, and now they were speaking out.
