What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Even lawyers have to sue for their own fees when they get stiffed! Upon hearing this, Li Wei hastily said, "No, that's not what I meant, I... I heard online that the lawyer from your firm, Lawyer Tang, is particularly skilled in this area, so I wanted to come for a consultation..." I get it now, Miss Xiao Yan suddenly realized, she's here specifically for Brother Tang. But Brother Tang's online reputation isn't exactly that, nowadays people say he's a good man. Thinking about the things Brother Tang had done before, Miss Xiao Yan didn't say anything more; let's not go far, just take the recent thirty-one cases, for instance, it's said that who knows how many people in Lincheng were implicated... A lot of retired people were investigated, and the more they dug, the bigger it got, until they were sent to "retire" inside. So much so that there was even internet chatter recently wondering if that place might not be able to hold any more... The place in question is Qincheng Prison, which in fact has already undergone many expansions. But netizens' concerns are purely superfluous; that place isn't for just anyone to enter. Typically, prisons are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, but this prison is directly managed by the Ministry of Public Security, the only one to be so after the reforms in '83. The people of Lincheng City couldn't reach it; it was far beyond their grasp. Shaking her head to dispel these thoughts, Miss Xiao Yan then said, "Miss Li, so what you actually want is to consult with Director Tang, right?" "But Director Tang right now..." Miss Xiao Yan was about to say Director Tang didn't take on such minor cases, but then she remembered a conversation from a few days ago. Brother Tang said he needed to relax and was temporarily not taking on big cases. So it might be worth asking if he'd be willing to take this one. "How about this, Miss Li, I'll go ask for you, see if Director Tang is available to take your case. However, I must warn you beforehand, Director Tang's fees are not cheap, so prepare yourself mentally." Li Wei, upon hearing this, quickly stood up and said, "Thank you so much, as long as Director Tang is willing to take my case, I'll pay whatever the cost!" Although Li Wei felt that having an affair with a married man was her own fault, she no longer thought about that; now she only wanted revenge! For that, no amount of money was too much. In the office, Old Tang had just finished editing a video and was enjoying a cup of tea when he heard a knock at the door, to which he responded, "Please come in." The door opened, and Miss Xiao Yan walked in with a smile: "Brother Tang, you're not busy right now, are you?" Old Tang nodded and said, "I'm free right now, what's up?" Miss Xiao Yan then briefly explained Li Wei's situation before saying, "Brother Tang, you mentioned a few days ago that you were planning to take a break and handle some minor cases to relax. What do you think about this case...?" This case is kind of nonsensical, to be honest. Normally, law firms wouldn't even handle such a case. After considering it carefully, Old Tang broke into a smile: "Such a case, huh? It's kind of interesting. Alright, I'll take it. It's good timing too, since I have to do a public legal education event on marriage soon; it'll be good to warm up." "Is she in the office? Take me to her." Off they went. He had spent half the day editing videos and needed a change of pace. Inside the office, Li Wei was feeling unsettled, having finally mustered the courage to speak out. Now she was somewhat regretful. She didn't know if Lawyer Tang would take the case or not. If he didn't, she truly didn't know what to do next. While she was lost in thought, the office door opened. Li Wei turned her head to see Miss Xiao Yan accompanied by a young man with a pale countenance. Although she had never seen Tang Fangjing's photo, no explanation was needed; that bloodless pale face was clearly Tang Fangjing's, as this was Tengda. "You must be Director Tang Fangjing," Li Wei quickly stood and said. Old Tang smiled, waved his hand and said, "Yes, that's me. Miss Li, please take a seat, no need to be formal." Li Wei hadn't expected Lawyer Tang to be quite so affable; she'd assumed he'd be difficult to talk to, given all the online rumors. That couldn't be helped. After all, the cases Old Tang had personally fought were few, and many people's knowledge of Old Tang came from the internet. And in those videos, a lot of them showed Old Tang castigating others, which made many people think he was the kind of man who was always stern. Old Tang himself knew about these misconceptions but didn't care; Tang Fangjing never needed to worry about such things. "Miss Li, I've got a rough idea of your situation. You want to... you want that man to get a lesson in law, right?" That sentence nearly twisted Old Tang's tongue, mainly because he suddenly didn't know how to phrase it. Boyfriend? Lover? Illicit partner? Beau? Nothing seemed quite right, so he decided to stick with that man. Li Wei nodded and said, "Lawyer Tang, before this... I also consulted another lawyer online. He told me I could report the man for bigamy because I'm pregnant with his child, and we generally refer to each other as husband and wife..." Miss Xiao Yan heard this and her mouth twitched. What kind of brilliant legal advice was that? Bigamy meant both parties would be criminal, leading both to be incarcerated. Meaning if Li Wei went to the police, she would also be snared, and what's more, bigamy is typically a crime that can be dealt with by private or public prosecution.
