Chapter 172: Just say if it's reasonable or not!
"Lawyer Tang, are you saying that I don't have to go with you? Then what should I be doing right now?" Liu Zixu looked at Tang Fangjing in front of him, somewhat confused.
Isn't he the party involved? It's such an exciting thing to report a crime, and he doesn't have to go?
"Who told you that the person himself must go to report a crime? Anyone can go."
This wasn't Old Tang talking nonsense. According to Article 110 of the Criminal Procedure Law, any unit or individual who discovers facts of a crime or suspects a person of a crime has the right and duty to report it to the public security organs, the People's Procuratorate, or the People's Court.
"What you need to do now is just wait. Wait for two more hours, then continue to apply and proceed with the withdrawal process. The school shouldn't give you much trouble now, and the process should be completed very quickly."
Indeed, after the second-instance judgment, Old Tang had already urged Liu Zixu to hurry up with the procedures, which basically involved getting a stamp from the school, the finance department calculating the tuition fees to be refunded, and then transferring back the student registration file.
The most important thing was actually the student registration file, which could usually be transferred back to a local school for reeducation after the college entrance exam and then re-filed.
Otherwise, if there's anything missing with that file, it will be troublesome later on.
Seeing that Liu Zixu still didn't understand, Old Tang said irritably, "If you don't hurry up with the procedures, you might not even be able to find someone to sign later on."
"Just be adaptable. In any case, just get the withdrawal process done first. Normally, the school should make it easy for you now."
Otherwise, once the investigation starts, the school's leadership will definitely be taken away. God knows how big the financial hole has accumulated over the years. The time you're delaying now could be spent studying."
Liu Zixu touched his head and said, "I see, then I'll go back and do it now."
After speaking, Liu Zixu turned around, took the bus, and went back to school. Previously, he felt lost, not knowing where his path lay, and even attending this junior college was just going through the motions.
But in this period, he suddenly found himself wanting to become a lawyer...
Old Tang was unaware of the other's thoughts; if he had known, he would surely have told him that not all lawyers can do as they please like Tang Fangjing did.
On his end, Old Tang was preparing to pick up the appraisal record from that friend and then go report the crime.
Three or four thousand sets of military training uniforms, and now nearly two thousand sets have been identified as substandard. In the words of his friend, it felt as if this company had deliberately sold all the defective products to the school...
You wouldn't believe it, but Old Tang felt this hunch was true. Students were the best sales targets. The military training at Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College lasted for fifteen days.
That is to say, these clothes were only worn for fifteen days. Plus, students are unlikely to kick up a fuss when they first enter school—it couldn't be more perfect.
Then this year, someone like Old Tang showed up... They said their products were randomly inspected and passed, well, I checked every piece of clothing I could find, so how do you like that?
Fundamentally, this had nothing to do with any legal maneuvers; it was brute force pure and simple. But that's okay because not every case can be dealt with through legal maneuvers. One must dodge and weave within the legal framework, and even Tang Fangjing needs the right time and circumstances to do so.
Old Tang soon met with his friend, this friend's surname was Zhou, and he worked in finance. Zhou had previously had a dispute with the bank, then Old Tang stepped in and suppressed the bank, making them pay a significant sum.
Originally, he had taken that case to make money, but in the process, he became friends with Mr. Zhou—though a rather casual friendship, they truly helped each other out when necessary.
A network was equally a weapon for lawyers, and Old Tang never minded befriending influential people.

Upon arrival, a man in his thirties came forward to greet him—it was Zhou Feng, smiling with a square face, saying, "Director Tang, the report is all ready. Sigh, I guess only someone like you would bother with such trivial matters."
From Zhou Feng's perspective, befriending Tang Fangjing was normal. Who wouldn't want to be friends with a top-notch lawyer? Other professionals like doctors are just the same—no need for a reason, anyone with a bit of sense would want to make friends with them.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang replied, "It's not really meddling. Once someone has taken on a case, they have to see it through. The other side keeps talking about suing him for defamation, for infringing on the college's right to reputation."
"As his lawyer, naturally, I have to help him settle this matter. This is the most basic ethic of a lawyer."
As for how to settle it, it's simple. You say the video he posted online about the 'poor quality of the school's military training uniforms' is defamation? Well, I'm going to help prove it's not defamation—it's true.
Then arrest those who need to be arrested, sentence those who need to be sentenced, deal with those who cry defamation, and isn't the problem solved? Would the next leader coming in still want revenge?
They're meant to be servants of the people, not gang leaders. When they take office, they don't need to take revenge on enemies to secure their position... So it's that simple."
Zhou Feng, on the other side, was dumbfounded after listening to Tang Fangjing's explanation. Is this how Lawyer Tang solves problems? He certainly hadn't made a mistake in choosing this friend!
He hoped that Lawyer Tang would ask for his help a few more times, so that if he ever got into trouble one day, Lawyer Tang would definitely risk his life to rescue him... spit, spit, spit, as if that would happen.
The two chatted briefly, and then Old Tang took his leave. He needed to prepare the materials he had at hand before going to the Xihong District sub-bureau with a gift.
