What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"It's obvious that the other party's company doesn't yet possess the qualifications..."

As these words fell, Lu Shan was instantly stunned. What did this investment have to do with issuing debts?

Why didn't you clarify just now? If you had said it was about bonds or something, I definitely wouldn't have acknowledged it!

Old Tang also smiled. He actually wasn't too keen on using lawyer's rhetoric on ordinary people; it was unequal, they knew nothing, and they could be trapped with just a few words.

He deliberately made the consequences of equity investments very clear while leaving the debt investments vague. By comparison, the other side would certainly choose the latter.

But there was no helping it; this person was a bit too arrogant.

It was obvious that it was money you borrowed, and yet you made such a troublesome mess, all because you don't want to pay back. And you don't even have a lawyer—do you think you can play these games with me?

Then just exert a little effort; after all, it's like disciplining a child on a rainy day—I'm free anyway.

Old Zhou likewise spoke up, "Illegal business activities? Then we need to adjourn the trial and notify the public security organs."

"No, no, that's not it, I remembered wrong, it's equity, equity type!"

"In that case, we need to carefully calculate our client's share of the equity dividend income. Looking at the time, it should have been for three years now, right?" Lawyer Tang continued.

Beside him, Lu Xudong was completely dumbfounded. Wasn't this supposed to be about repaying money? How had it turned into a discussion about the profits of equity investment?

Equity dividend income... Lu Shan gritted his teeth. The company had been doing well in the past two years. If this money was really accounted as an investment in shares, then how would it be divided?

After all, the company wasn't his alone; the previous dividends had already been distributed. Did they really need to take back the money that was already given out and redistribute it?

If he did that, the other shareholders would probably want his head...

"That... I, I remembered wrong, this contract has nothing to do with the case. It was just me borrowing his money." Lu Shan spoke again.

"Oh? The Judgment Chief specifically told you just now that if the contract is a forged document, you might be detained or fined, and in serious cases, it could involve criminal responsibility. Did you not hear clearly?"

"Judgment Chief, I believe the other party is suspected of producing forged evidence, and it's enough to impede the normal trial process of the People's Court!"

Old Zhou nodded, "The trial is adjourned; relevant evidence will be transferred to the concerned departments for processing."

As the words dropped, Lu Shan's legs went weak, and he quickly said, "No, the money was borrowed by me, and I spent it. I admit it, I will pay now; it has nothing to do with the company..."

Old Tang sat down and looked at the Lu Xudong beside him, "Alright, problem solved. You don't need to bother with a second trial or enforcement anymore; it's settled in one go."

"Oh right, your relative might also be detained and fined, or if the matter is serious, he might even spend a few days in. That shouldn't affect your relationship as relatives, right?"

Lu Xudong's gaze was lost. Is it... is it all settled?

It felt like a dream, and then, inexplicably, before the first trial was even over, the problem was about to be resolved.

Not only that, but the other party might go directly to jail...

Is this the power of a top lawyer? No wonder everyone wants a good lawyer!

And he had made a big win this time. If Lawyer Song had come, the outcome might not have been the same...

Once he snapped back to reality, Lu Xudong quickly said, "It won't affect us, absolutely not; I've wanted him to go to jail for a long time. What kind of relative is that? They're better off absent."

"Lawyer Tang, I really can't thank you enough for this time."

"It's nothing, just a minor issue. I was just covering a shift; I had free time anyway," Old Tang waved his hand, signaling to take it easy, it was all basic practice.

Not even hiring a lawyer, not bringing any legal staff, relying on his own trifling skills against me, it's not surprising at all to have this outcome.

And honestly, the other side constantly delaying payment might really indicate a problem, after all, the person has money, it's not that he can't pay it back.

There's a high chance that he turned around and loaned out the borrowed money at high interest rates, otherwise, his behavior is inexplicable.

People these days, really cunning, not thinking about how there's no such easy deal in the world. Once the public security organs investigate, everything will become clear.

Today, for Old Tang, was simply a day of covering for someone else.
