Chapter 217 Wen Weilin: What Should I Do?
Wang Qingqing's hand paused, she did not expect Tang Fangjing to ask such a question, and more importantly, what did it mean to ask this question?
But since Old Tang asked, she definitely had to answer.
"Tang Brother, I... I've been your assistant for about two or three years," Wang Qingqing pondered and said.
As for whether it was two or three years, she couldn't remember clearly, but time had indeed passed for quite a while.
Or was Tang Brother thinking that...
While she was pondering, she heard Old Tang in front of her say again, "It's been two or three years, huh? That's quite a long time. Qingqing, have you ever thought about your future life?"
Future... life??
Wang Qingqing felt her heartbeat racing even more. Was Tang Brother finally seeing the light after going out this time?
"I feel very happy at Tengda, so in the future, I plan to just coast along and wait for death at Tengda," Wang Qingqing said with a laugh.
The director of Tengda was her uncle, and the lawyer she followed was one of the top lawyers in the whole country. She had no great ambitions, so naturally, she planned to while away the days at Tengda.
Old Tang chuckled upon hearing this and said, "At such a young age and with such golden years ahead, you're planning on being my assistant forever?"
He knew a little about the girl's thoughts, but his kind of life, to be honest, really couldn't involve anyone too close, for if one day he got married and had kids, Tang Fangjing would no longer be Tang Fangjing.
This job was extremely dangerous. Offending people in the political and legal system was one thing; it's not like the internal system would set up an ambush with a concrete mixer, it wasn't a life-or-death struggle.
The problem was that he was planning to pursue these thirty-one cases to the end!
Even though it's only just begun, with Huang Licheng's case as a precedent and the examples of Ding Deshui and others, everyone involved in these thirty-one cases knew very well that Tang Fangjing was determined to fight them to the end.
Many years had passed, and those village party secretaries and village directors had mostly become rich and might have grandchildren filling their homes with joy. Suddenly, someone appears claiming to send them all away, who knows what might happen.
Moreover, watching for two or three years now, Wang Qingqing was no longer the naive girl she once was, at least her technique had become increasingly skilled... she couldn't just be left to imagine things.
Wang Qingqing laughed upon hearing this: "Tang Brother, whether I want to be your assistant has nothing to do with you, right? You're hardly at the office for a few days in a year."
"Alright, Tang Brother, stop talking about all that nonsense. For now, I'm your assistant," she said.
Well, Old Tang wouldn't persuade her further. The young woman didn't care, so let's leave it at that for now and see how things go after this difficulty is over.
The review time at the higher court probably won't be short. What Old Tang had to do was to wait, and then when the case in Lincheng was in the review and indictment stage, he would file a collateral civil suit.
He wondered whether Ding Deshui and the others would admit their guilt and accept their punishment...
However, this "Warm Tea Boiled with Liquor" on the internet was really interesting, he didn't know who this person was. Old Tang guessed that they must be someone in the legal field; otherwise, they couldn't have pulled it off so cleverly.
For a moment, Old Tang even wanted to have a good chat with this person. If it really was some ploy deliberately provoking him by "joining the fray," he didn't mind at all. Tang Fangjing never cared about such things.
After thinking carefully for a while, Old Tang spoke again: "Alright, Qingqing, bring over the case files from this period. I want to look them over."
Huang Licheng's case was basically settled; to put it bluntly, achieving two hundred percent completion rate was definitely not a problem. However, it was curious that the system had not issued a task for the subsequent thirty-one cases.
But it didn't matter. By now, Old Tang didn't do cases just because there was a task; thirty-one cases of miscarriage of justice were something he definitely couldn't miss when encountered.
So, he had to see if there were any more interesting cases.
On the internet, due to Feiyang Brother's drawing power, netizens' admiration for Mr. "Warm Tea Boiled with Liquor" had reached the extreme.
This was the internet era, after all, where someone could play such a game, and even succeed at it!
Consequently, the number of followers on the "Warm Tea Boiled with Liquor" account began to skyrocket at a startling speed.
And with the surge in follower numbers, Wen Weilin from Changlu County also received a call from the platform.
In the office of the Changlu County Court, Wen Weilin listened to the voice on the phone, his face inexplicably changing: "What... I must verify my real name for this, right?"
Since realizing he had become famous a few days earlier, Wen Weilin had been exceedingly cautious, not daring to reveal himself at all.
With no other choice, after attending a meeting with the chief judge, the court leaders had slammed their hands on the table so hard, it felt like if they met "Warm Tea Boiled with Liquor" in real life, they would go all out with knives against him.
Not only that, but in his class group chat, classmates who had passed exams and moved to other districts and counties of Lincheng were discussing the issue, saying how seriously their leaders were taking it.
Tang Fangjing needed no attention at this point, and it was impossible to deal with him; a terminally ill patient who was also covered in wounds, his head held together with metal, who would dare to handle him? If they brought him in, he might just end up causing even more trouble, like mud falling into one's pants. Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
The public outrage that would follow would leave the higher-ups unscathed, but those who dealt with him directly would be in hot water.
But it was different with "Warm Tea Boiled with Liquor." If Tang Fangjing was untouchable, were you?
As a result, these past two days had been incredibly nerve-wracking for Wen Weilin; he lived in a daze, lethargic in everything he did, with his heart unable to settle.
Then he watched the number of his followers grow at an incredible rate, an unbelievable boom indeed.
