What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This Liu Zixu is truly imperturbable, as for communicating with that Lawyer Tang...

The counselor really doesn't want to go, everyone online knows by now, that Lawyer Tang never compromises in his work, there is actual precedent for this.

The parties themselves have admitted their guilt and punishment, yet he still insists on a not guilty defense, he's simply a madman!

Forget it, can only report to the school leaders first.

Dean Wang, who was at home, received a call from the counselor, and he truly wanted to curse someone out.

If even such a small task can't be handled, what's the use of you as a counselor, but yelling won't solve the problem either.

Liu Zixu said as much, what else can they do, threaten him?

Just as Liu Zixu thought, the school is now out of options when it comes to him. They certainly can't just send security to beat him up and force him to retract the lawsuit, that would be madness unless the leaders have lost their minds.

After making a phone call to Secretary Liu, the two leaders made a decision, to proceed with the lawsuit first.

Secretary Liu also thinks it's best to go to court first, they can't keep negotiating for settlement; otherwise, the other party might think they can control the school with just such a lawsuit.

There has never been such a lawsuit before, even if the representative is Tang Fangjing, it's not like they've already won before the trial has begun. Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

As time shifted to the next day, Dong Wenlu from Zhengnan Law Firm had already signed a retainer contract with the school and formally started representing the case.

She took the case very seriously. Even though she didn't think much of Tang Fangjing, she had to admit the other side was indeed competent.

After carefully studying the indictment, Dong Wenlu placed a call to Secretary Liu.

"Ah? That Liu Zixu hasn't been expelled yet, you want us to expel him from the school?"

Dong Wenlu said, "Yes, the basis of their lawsuit is the right to be informed, Liu Zixu has the right to know because he is a student at your school."

"But if you expel him, he would automatically lose his standing in the lawsuit, and then the court can rule to dismiss it..."

This was the simplest and most effective method Dong Wenlu could think of, with the standing being improper they wouldn't even need to go to court, the opponent could be defeated directly.

However, Secretary Liu found it difficult to respond: "Expelling him from school is a big decision, and the school can't do that for now..."

If they expel him now, the other party will go to the education authorities and make an official complaint, which is sure to cause problems.

Although their school has strong backing, the matter of expelling a student is far too significant.

"Secretary Liu, we've been old friends for a while, I have to remind you that the other side is Tang Fangjing, this approach is the simplest and most effective, the likelihood of losing the court case is very high," Dong Wenlu spoke up again.

"Alas, Director Dong, it's impossible, let's try to fight the lawsuit instead."

If they expel him now, there could be trouble immediately. Tang Fangjing is a major internet celebrity; if it were to be posted online, the school would end up being blasted to bits in minutes.

But if they proceed with the lawsuit, even if something were to happen, it wouldn't be for several months or even a year later.

Having no choice, Dong Wenlu could only start researching other points of breakthrough, trying to find a way to negate the student's right to know?

As time passed day by day, during the period for presenting evidence, Old Tang submitted relevant evidence, and likewise received the other party's answer and their evidence.

"Dong Wenlu, I didn't expect to encounter this lawyer, it's quite a coincidence," Old Tang said, shaking his head as he sat in his office, looking at the representative's name on the answer.

He knew this Dong lawyer, who was also one of the vice presidents of the Jingzhou Lawyers Association, and very capable.

But regarding this case, no matter how capable, there aren't any other avenues to explore; they'll have to dutifully prove the special status of colleges and negate the existence of the education contract.

However, Old Tang's evidence also included a payment list provided by the school, as well as proof of tuition payments.

While this case seems to be of great significance, Old Tang felt that even tying up a dog could win it...

The key issue is what to do after winning, how will the other party execute the judgment, and how should he respond.

Finally came the day of the trial, and Old Tang was up early as usual.

In Jingzhou today it was raining again, a light drizzle of fall rain making the sky very dark; ideally, this weather is perfect for sleeping.

Old Tang was indeed feeling drowsy, nearly unable to keep his eyes open as he sat in Xihong District Court's civil chamber.

In the defendant's bench, Dong Wenlu and Secretary Liu were also sitting there, occasionally glancing over at Old Tang, their feelings very complex.

When it doesn't concern them, facing Tang Fangjing's maneuvers, they might even admire him, but with such a person standing opposite them, it becomes a headache.

Even though the school's logistics side was well prepared, no one knew what Tang Fangjing might do. It's impossible to guess a madman's plan.

Proceeding with the process first, Old Tang also met the presiding judge of the case, Judge Yan, whose expression was extremely serious, creating an impression of a criminal court judge.

Actually, Old Tang wasn't wrong, Judge Yan was indeed the presiding judge of Xihong District Court's first criminal division, and this time he was specially assigned to preside over this case.

It is necessary to explain that distinctions like criminal and civil divisions within a court are internal; it doesn't mean that once you're in the criminal division, you can't oversee civil cases.

There are only so many judges with tenure. Like the time Old Tang sent four civil division judges from the Bright District to the hospital at once, they had to reallocate judges urgently, or else the civil division's operations would have problems.

Dong Wenlu also recognized Judge Yan and quietly informed Secretary Liu about this very strict judge, who is known for being very serious and stern.

However, Dong Wenlu didn't know that just before the court session, Judge Yan had sent a message to Old Zhou from the Bright District.
