Chapter 170 Xihong District Court: For the Sake of Guiding Cases!_3
"The internet is not a lawless place, everyone please don't believe or spread rumors."
After the announcement was released, although it did not cause as much of a stir as before, public opinion had completely reversed.
Anytime someone brought up the issue of the military training uniforms, people would just present the inspection report.
Liu Zixu was completely out of options, the process for dropping out was stuck, he kept being dragged along, and with public opinion now like this, there were all kinds of comments online, with very few people believing him.
What to do?
After thinking for a long time, it seemed there was only one solution. With that in mind, Liu Zixu found Tang Fangjing's account and immediately began to compose a private message.
"Lawyer Tang, I really don't know what to do now, they told me to sue whoever I want, but those military uniforms are really of poor quality..."
He sent a bunch of messages, but Liu Zixu was still unsure, this Lawyer Tang's help was always a bit mystical.
Meanwhile, Old Tang was feeling conflicted. He had received quite a few cases in his private messages recently, some of which he found very interesting.
One of them even guaranteed to trigger a task—it was a forced demolition case.
But there was nothing he could do, the public legal education campaign in the rural areas was about to begin, and he couldn't just run off.
He watched the private messages listlessly until he suddenly stopped.
Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College... Wasn't that the incident that had been buzzing online a while ago? It had now evolved to this level?
He hadn't followed the case recently, but from the previous videos, he knew that those uniforms were definitely not good quality.
The current situation turning out so unexpectedly, could Jingzhou have such a powerful existence?
And most importantly, the school was located in the neighboring Xihong District, a place he could easily reach...
With that thought, Old Tang replied with a message: "If possible, come to the law firm for a face-to-face consultation."
The place was so close that there was no need for him to go there; asking the other party to come over would suffice, and he could also see the student's situation. If he was unwilling to come over, then there would likely be no persistence later on.
In Xihong District, Liu Zixu and his parents were sitting idly in a hotel. The school was too dominant, and after several communications, the conditions had changed to something else.
They wanted Liu Zixu to delete his previous videos and publicly apologize online, admitting that he posted those videos just for "fun," and that the military uniforms weren't issued by the school at all.
This was quite normal, after all, rat heads could be turned into duck necks, and students who posted rat heads could publicly admit that the object was indeed a duck neck... It was really quite normal.
Just then, Liu Zixu saw the message on his phone and his face changed color. He jumped up and said, "Mom and Dad, that Tang Fangjing, the one from Jingzhou, Tang Fangjing has replied to my message!"
Huh? Liu's father was startled: "Which Tang Fangjing?"
"The Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou Tengda Law Firm, the one I told you about before, the really famous one. He said I could go for a face-to-face consultation at the law firm!"
Liu's father suddenly remembered. That Lawyer Tang was indeed famous, but he wondered, would hiring a lawyer help in this sort of situation?
Full of excitement, Liu Zixu said, "If it were any other lawyer, it might not help, but Lawyer Tang is different, the cases he handles, he will definitely take responsibility until the end."
Although Liu's father still had a lot of doubts, such as how much it would cost to hire such a lawyer, he didn't voice them. In any case, they would see what happens when they got there; if the cost was too much, then they would drop it.
Soon, Liu Zixu and his parents arrived at Tengda, going upstairs with a kind of "pilgrim" mentality.
"Lawyer Tang sent you a message back, right? Let me see it."
At the entrance, a very beautiful girl with a great temperament greeted them with a smile. Liu Zixu, a green young man, was almost stunned.
The girl was naturally Wang Qingqing, serving as Old Tang's assistant, and her job was to perform the first round of screening.

After looking over the phone, indeed it was a reply from Brother Tang, Wang Qingqing then said, "Alright, the three of you follow me, Director Tang is in his office."
Ten minutes later, Liu Zixu and his parents watched with shocked faces as Lawyer Tang added vinegar and chili powder to his tea...
Old Tang naturally didn't care about others' feelings; he now needed more stimulation.
After taking a sip of the tea, he said, "So you are Liu Zixu, and these two are your parents, right? You've already said quite a bit in your private messages, and I have a general understanding of the situation."
"First of all, it's established that the military uniforms were indeed issued by your school, right?"
"They were definitely issued by the school, Lawyer Tang, I even brought them with me today," Liu Zixu said as he took out the previously mentioned military uniforms.
Old Tang took them and examined them; he couldn't comment on their quality, previously thinking they were worth sixty or seventy, but after actual contact, he found that these things wouldn't sell for even thirty yuan.
The quality was too poor.
"So now you're saying that you want to withdraw from school, but the school insists you delete the videos, apologize, and then sign the confidentiality agreement, right?"
"And they also produced some sort of inspection report."
Liu Zixu's father spoke up: "Lawyer Tang, what do you think we should do about this? My wife and I run a small business in the county town, and we really don't know how to handle this situation."
"Plus, the inspection stated there were no issues..."
Old Tang put down the uniforms, smiled, and said, "Those so-called third-party inspection reports aren't necessarily truthful. Nowadays, there are not a few cases of third-party inspections faking results, you don't need to worry about this."
It is naive to say that third-party inspection institutions, acting as intermediaries, could never produce fraudulent results. There have even been cases of judicial identification fraud. How can such third-party institutions all be pure and innocent?
The biggest problem lies with third-party environmental testing companies; a simple search reveals various penalties due to fraud, taking money from whoever, speaking for whoever paid.
