What's wrong with this lawyer?!

By now, it's definitely impossible to mediate; a judgment must be made, otherwise, the court's enforcement might not be so forceful.

For things like forced eviction, a powerful enforcement judge is needed; otherwise, fearing trouble, enforcement just slowly drags on.

Compared to a judgment, a mediation agreement inherently comes with deficiencies.

Old Zhou nodded without asking Tang Fangjing any further questions, and went straight to the point, "Before we begin, does anyone have anything else to submit?"

It's necessary to make sure everything is clear to prevent someone from pulling a stunt once the trial begins.

Zhang Wei indicated that he had nothing, and Old Tang was even more confident, slapping his chest and saying he definitely wouldn't cause any problems and that he hated troubling the court the most.

Old Zhou nodded with satisfaction. If all agents were like Tang Fangjing, how much trouble would it save the courts. Continue reading at empire

"Alright, court is now in session!" Old Zhou announced the opening.

He then started the procedure, completed the relevant procedural steps, and moved on to the investigative stage of the trial, where both parties began to present their statements.

The plaintiff, Zhang Wei, began to state, "Our company last December…"

The facts of the case were clear: Grandpa Wang's friend approached the company for a loan, and the company had to conduct an investigation first.

The investigation revealed that the other party's credit was insufficient for such a large loan, so they requested a guarantor.

Moreover, there needed to be corresponding collateral, such as a house or a salary card, as the loan couldn't be issued otherwise.

To their surprise, the man actually managed to provide a guarantee, so there was no problem. They signed a guarantee agreement, which meant that if the party failed to repay on time, the guarantor could be approached directly.

Old Tang began his defense, but in truth, he didn't have much to say, as he couldn't even produce any significant evidence.

He could only give reasons that Zhang Wei thought were signs of running out of tricks—issues like flaws in the contract were trivial and unimportant.

Even if his proof were established, it would not affect the contract itself; the money owed would still have to be paid.

Meanwhile, in the live-streaming online, even those who didn't understand the law could see that Tang Fangjing had no dazzling strategies up his sleeve.

"Ambition for Victory": Is this it? Is this all? If I were in this case, my reasons would be no different than Tang Fangjing's. Isn't he supposed to be some hotshot lawyer? How come his reasons are the same as mine!

"I beg some delusional fans to stop hyping him up. Lawyers rely on evidence and without it, no matter how good you are, it's useless. All this hype for what?"

"Dong Dong": I also think so; there really is no need to hype up a particular lawyer. He might indeed be very good, but as we can see now, in this kind of case, he's no different from any average lawyer.

These words were hard to hear; at least Ju Haiqing felt like smashing the keyboard, but helplessly, he didn't know how to rebut.

Based on Old Tang's performance in the courtroom, that was exactly the case. The reasons he put forward for his defense were virtually the same as what the online lawyers had predicted.

Perhaps they shouldn't have held on to the hope for a miracle... This thought crossed Ju Haiqing's mind.

They should have stuck to their own point of view, insisting that making promises to save someone truly doesn't matter.

However, they were also led astray by the pace and chose to believe in Tang Fangjing. But the current situation told them that Tang Fangjing really wasn't that miraculous.

No matter how much praise he received online, he was still just a person, incapable of conjuring non-existent evidence out of thin air.

And a lawyer without evidence is like a Kun without a basketball—no threat at all.

At Dafeng Law Firm, Old Han was now completely at ease. He had been guarding against Tang Fangjing's tricky maneuvers, but once the defense document came out, he knew that was all the other party had.

Indeed, the case was too straightforward. Even Lawyer Deng, who had been a judge in The Capital, had said so; there was truly no need for Old Han to doubt anymore.

"Come on, let everyone know, I'm treating you all today. Let's have a good meal at the hotpot restaurant across the street!" Old Han laughed heartily.

Although popping champagne midway seemed a bit unlucky, the current situation went beyond saying "the advantage is on my side." It was like riding a dragon in the face, how could you lose?

Hu Jia immediately posted a message online: "I guess I held someone in too high regard."

Although he didn't name names, anyone with eyes could see that he was almost openly saying that Tang Fangjing's abilities were just so-so.

Meanwhile, in the courtroom, Zhang Wei's face was beaming with joy. The other party had nothing left, and now it was his turn to perform!

To avoid an operational mistake leading to an unexpected accident that could implicate the company's leadership, he had made sure to check every detail of their qualifications and financial transactions before the trial.

There were no criminal issues involved, the company had the eligibility to issue loans, and there were no problems with the transactions.

So now, he began to present evidence without hesitation.

"Evidence one is our company's operating license, proving that our company is eligible to issue loans…"

"Evidence two is the loan contract and the transfer records, which bear the signatures of the borrower and the guarantor, proving the existence of the loan transaction and the amount."

"Evidence three is the guarantee contract, which also has the signatures of the borrower and the guarantor, proving that the guarantor is aware of the loan circumstances and has willingly provided the guarantee."

"Evidence four is the record of the mortgage notarization of the house, proving that the guarantor has used his own house as collateral..."
