Outside the court, Old Tang looked at Li Huaiqing and said, "Alright, I've taken care of your criminal case. You can go home and live your life in peace."
Li Huaiqing hurriedly responded, "Lawyer Tang, I really can't thank you enough this time. If it weren't for you, I honestly wouldn't know what to do."
Old Tang smiled and said, "Right, according to our previous agreement, I will create a video about your case and post it online afterward, you know that."
He had always placed great importance on the battlefield of public opinion during their conversations about the case!
But he had learned from past mistakes, thinking he had an invincible shield only to realize there was no such thing as immunity from criticism.
It turned out he was wrong; in this world, there is no one who can't be criticized. Even those with 'invincibility' in past lives were still targeted, whether out of stupidity or malice.
Therefore, Old Tang decided that the battlefield of public opinion must still be taken seriously!
As for someone like Li Huaiqing, well, a very typical commoner.
Even though he had been repeatedly advised not to agree to anything, especially regarding confessions of guilt, a few words from the prosecutor and he was ready to comply.
Such people are extremely complex and cannot be defined simply as good or bad.
"Lawyer Tang, no problem at all. Whatever you want to do online is fine with me," said Li Huaiqing, who was now utterly prepared to follow Lawyer Tang's advice.
He would do whatever the other party asked, never veering off course!
"Alright, then you may go back now, and if there's anything else, contact me, okay?"
Having been out for a while, he should also be returning to Jingzhou, and it was time to have a good talk with some netizens.
Li Huaiqing quickly nodded in agreement, watching Tang Fangjing leave, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Lawyer Tang truly is a good person."
It's not like any dissenting opinion from a lawyer should be immediately dismissed as problematic, which is an incorrect notion.
Having made the complaint and walked out, Old Tang could have considered his mission accomplished. His goal was to absolve Li Huaiqing from the charges, and since Li had already been found not guilty, the mission was naturally complete.
But Old Tang decided to wait.
Time swiftly moved on to the next day.
Having lost the case at both the first and second trials, the impact on Fu Qiuying's career was inevitable.
Every workplace has its evaluations, and the reason for the push for plea bargain agreements is because once signed, things generally don't change much when presented at court.
Yet, upon arriving at work today, before Fu Qiuying had settled in, she saw her superior come in.
"Qiuying, please put aside your current work. Yes, the higher-up disciplinary department needs your cooperation with an investigation..."
What? Fu Qiuying was immediately shocked.
Soon, she learned the details from the staff: someone had accused her of problematic work conduct, and her accuser was none other than Tang Fangjing!
"We've informed you of the complainant's identity at their request. So, let's start by having you recount your side of the story," said the registrar, looking at Fu Qiuying.
This was also Tang's request—to let her know that it was he who had reported her!
If she wanted to retaliate, he was ready for anything; Tang never feared making waves, the bigger the better; he relished the confrontation.
Now, Fu Qiuying was dumbfounded, with a single thought swirling in her head: Tang Fangjing must be insane. Was something wrong with his mind?
These days, whistleblowers tended to shroud themselves in secrecy, yet there he was, insisting on full disclosure.
