What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"I don't know why this is happening, why can't there be any forgiveness? If my sister goes to jail, she will lose her job. She now weeps every day, and her mental state is already abnormal."

"I'm begging you, Lawyer Tang, please let my sister go, please forgive her..."

Accompanying these words, the video showed a woman with a graceful appearance looking dazedly at the camera. The person filming spoke to her for a while but she did not respond; it was quite a pitiful scene.

In the comments section, the most liked comments were those of sympathy. After all, the direct impact of the video was indeed very powerful—people are inherently compassionate.

"Looking at her, she really does seem pitiful. I think maybe Lawyer Tang should consider forgiving her. The other party is willing to pay compensation and apologize. There's no need to be so relentless."

"I think so too. Maybe some people don't understand what losing a job entails. In the north, if a teacher with a permanent post is dismissed, it really destroys their whole life. It's not necessary, really not necessary."

"Sigh, cyberbullying is indeed wrong, but not forgiving and insisting on someone going to jail, I think that's also not very good."

Amidst the sympathetic comments, there was another camp. These netizens felt that she might look pitiful now, but when she was cyberbullying others, why didn't she consider the consequences?

These netizens were arguing heatedly. However, no matter how much they tagged Tang Fangjing, there was no response.

Old Tang naturally saw the video, but he simply didn't bother with it. Many people always wishfully thought that he, Tang Fangjing, could only stand his ground with the help of public opinion and netizens' support.

Thus, whenever they encountered certain matters, they would threaten with comments like, "If you don't act this way, we will unfollow or not support you in the future."

However, what allowed Tang Fangjing to achieve what he has today was himself, it was his solid professional knowledge!

The system allowed him to live longer and not fear those threats of a physical nature, but winning cases didn't rely on the system.

A video concerning the case details was in the works, but the case specifics couldn't be divulged before a verdict. So, for now, just let the bullets fly for a while.

Perhaps it was due to it being the season before New Year, or perhaps because the evidence was indeed substantial, most courts across the regions adopted criminal summary procedures.

After confirming with Old Tang that mediation was impossible, the court proceedings moved swiftly, but even so, they would have to wait until after the New Year, as there wasn't enough time.

On the other hand, in the civil cases where most of the defendants failed to show up in court, judgments proceeded at an even faster pace.

After the verdicts were issued, under the leadership of Old Tang, Old Song, and Old Wang, the lawyers at Tengda Law Firm enjoyed their last paid trip before the New Year to a designated destination.

They simply needed to take the verdict along to report to the police, a straightforward task, and also filmed the process of reporting if the police station agreed.

Even so, Tengda's lawyers were eager for the opportunity. If just filing a police report could reimburse the round-trip airfare and hotel expenses, then there was no hesitation.

In Lantian County, Wu Jiling was as usual, with a significant following on her account, now sharing the judgment online.

"See this? This is my judgment. They've ordered me to pay compensation and apologize. I've just transferred the money, and I'll send the apology letter on time tomorrow, but I don't care."

After posting the update, Wu Jiling felt very comfortable as she read through the comments below. Everyone feared Tang Fangjing, but not her!

However, just then, there was a knock at the door.

Wu Jiling promptly went to open it and then saw two police officers standing at the entrance, their faces holding a strange expression.

"Are you Wu Jiling?" one of the officers asked.

Wu Jiling nodded, "I am Wu Jiling, what's the matter?"

"A few months ago, in the cyberbullying incident involving the pregnant woman, did you use your account 'Little Lingling' to insult someone?" the police officer asked again.

"So it's about this matter," Wu Jiling said offhandedly. "I didn't say much, and now that the court has already ruled, I'm prepared to apologize and pay."

She wasn't scared at all. The court had ruled already, what were you coming to me for?

The police then said, "All right then, come with us, please. The other party has already filed a report at our station, and we've decided to put you under administrative detention for ten days."

"What?" Wu Jiling was suddenly stunned, watching the police prepare to take her away, she quickly said, "Wait, I'm going to apologize and pay! Why do I still have to be detained?" Continue reading at empire

Detention and compensating, apologizing are totally different concepts, especially for someone who has never been inside.

"Administrative detention from the public security organs and the civil judgment of the court are two separate things. Let's go now," the officer said sternly.

He couldn't afford not to be stern. Initially, when the two young people came to report the issue, he thought about persuading them first, but then they mentioned that their lawyer had already gone all over the country filing reports, and he immediately shut up.

Everyone knew about the incident online, but no one expected that Tang Fangjing could create such an issue. Although they said that of the more than ten thousand people involved, only about a thousand could be subject to administrative penalties.

Still, it was a frightening number, as these people were scattered all over the country, some in cities, others in the countryside...

Just the expenses for travel were frightening, not to mention other costs. At the time, the officer was very curious and asked who was paying for this. The answer from the lawyer was that it was the law firm paying.

Anyways, the officer thought the director of that law firm must be crazy. What was the point of spending such money...

But no matter what, this incident would certainly become a hot topic in public opinion, and then, under such circumstances, the public security organs and police stations everywhere would be brought out for comparison...

If it's the same incident, why did they get punished there, but you didn't even file a case here, what's the reason? Shouldn't this be looked into?

Fear nothing but comparison.

Wu Jiling was led away in a daze, and it wasn't until she touched the cold iron door of the detention center that she realized the gravity of the situation, and tears involuntarily began to flow.

In Jingzhou at Tengda Law Firm, Old Wang walked to the window where Tang Fangjing usually stood, a smile on his face.

Everyone said Tengda relied on Tang Fangjing, but he, Old Wang, was the actual director of the firm!

This time, he would splash the cash to let everyone see who the real boss was!

Anyway, the firm was making good money now. Plus, filming a video to properly promote the law firm on this occasion would only mean profit for him, inside and out.

After the New Year, when July and August arrived, Tang Fangjing would have completed three years of practice. That's when he would have to hurry up and make him a partner, becoming a senior partner at Tengda.

Otherwise, other law firms would definitely poach him. Old Wang knew that many top law firms in Magic City and The Capital had their eyes on Tang Fangjing!

These people were clueless. Old Tang, who lived as if there were no tomorrow—what was there to poach!

No matter how much Old Wang reflected on it, the New Year still came.

Li Jianbin went home. After staying here for many days without finding anyone, he had to return home, disappointed.

The lawyers who had gone to various places had already gone home for the New Year, but the law firm was still open, as Tang Fangjing was on duty.

It wasn't that he had no one inviting him. Even the ladies of the law firm and Chi Yan invited him to celebrate the New Year together, but he declined all the offers.

He had long been accustomed to solitude and even enjoyed it. Unknowingly, he had grown to love the joyous smiles of the clients after the successful execution of their cases, rather than simply for longevity.

This was probably the true meaning of the legal profession.
