What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Lan Baosheng felt as if he had suddenly gone from hell to heaven; he could never have dreamed that his family would be able to hire a lawyer like Tang Fangjing!

Tang Fangjing is just that impressive; there's no need to say more.

Especially in Handong, in Jingzhou, everyone knows Tang Fangjing is the toughest around; if you can hire him for a criminal case, it usually means you're set!

Lan Baosheng glanced at his elder brother beside him who seemed to have lost his voice and immediately walked out.

Behind him, the other inmates were all looking on with envy—this was Tang Fangjing, who had barely suffered any losses since he began practicing law.

Filled with excitement, Lan Baosheng followed the guard towards the visitation room. The distance wasn't long, but his heart began to sink slowly.

During his time inside, he had indeed gotten to understand the situation. According to others, the evidence was conclusive; once the Procuratorate had authorized the arrest, it was almost impossible to turn it around.

Could Lawyer Tang do anything in this situation?

Finally, Lan Baosheng arrived at the visitation room; the guard opened the door, and Lan Baosheng quickly saw a young man sitting in front of the glass, his expression calm like still water.

Tang Fangjing, this was the legendary Lawyer Tang!

He sat down on the other side of the glass wall, and then the guard left the visitation room.

Lawyer Tang didn't speak at first; he made sure the door of the visitation room was closed properly before he began: "Mr. Lan Baosheng, right?"

It wasn't that he was overly cautious; it was purely out of habit.

In a previous case, a lawyer was meeting with a client when a guard overheard their conversation through a door that wasn't closed properly and thought that the lawyer was instructing the client to commit perjury.

So he reported it, and although it wasn't ultimately ruled as perjury, being under investigation was troublesome.

Lawyer Tang didn't believe that his reputation was so great that no one dared to touch him; on the contrary, he was well aware that there were definitely lots of people watching him.

The words mentioned by Wang Qingqing before weren't baseless!

No matter what profession, being cautious is never a problem.

Lan Baosheng hastily nodded in agreement.

Lawyer Tang continued: "Ju Haiqing, your childhood friend, and I are friends. He asked me to come and help you, and of course, I have to. Now, you start by detailing what you know about the situation, and be as specific as possible!"

Lan Baosheng, who had already thought over this situation, began to narrate.

"When I was dismissed, they didn't give me a dime, and I was pretty upset, thinking about teaching them a lesson."

"I happened to see online that if you're dismissed without compensation, you can report it... "

"Three days after I reported, they knew it was me who did it and we had a meeting. I demanded severance pay, heat subsidies, unreimbursed expenses, performance bonuses, overtime pay, and the like, but the negotiation failed."

"Another time, they took the initiative to meet with me, and I was still asking for this money, when the HR manager, a woman surnamed Liu, asked me how much I wanted to retract my report."

Hearing this, Lawyer Tang's expression which had been as calm as an ancient well suddenly changed, and he asked: "They took the initiative to meet with you, and during the conversation, they did not respond to the costs you mentioned?"

After thinking for a bit, Lan Baosheng replied, "No, I even had the receipts with me, but they ignored them and kept asking how much I wanted to withdraw my report."

Lawyer Tang nodded: "I understand, go on."

"I didn't quote any price at that moment, then they offered, saying they would give me seventy thousand to retract the social insurance report, and another seventy thousand for retracting the report about the illegal construction."

At this point, Lawyer Tang asked again: "Did you agree to it right then?"

Lan Baosheng shook his head and said: "I didn't agree at that time, partly because they agreed too readily, and partly because I felt they might be tricking me, maybe they wouldn't give the money."

After saying this and seeing that Tang Fangjing had no reaction, he continued: "Nothing was settled that day, and about three days later, the company called me for another meeting."

"They said they could give me the fourteen thousand first, but they were afraid I would take the money and not retract my report, so they asked me to write a letter of commitment promising to withdraw the report after receiving the money."

The expression on Lawyer Tang's face was quite vivid; if before he had only had some doubts, now he could be certain—this gentleman was definitely framed and sent to jail.

Honestly, being able to run a municipal landscaping company in a city, with projects so plentiful that they pile up, definitely isn't simple.

This is not just any ordinary company. You might think they're not very impressive, not like those big internet companies, but locally, they're really tough.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Lan Baosheng's report was known to the other party three days later is revealing. We'll set aside anonymous reports—real-name reports, except in cases like Tang Fangjing's, are supposed to protect the whistleblower's information.

Of course, it could also be that the company made its own guess, but the probability is very, very small.

But their later actions carry a much deeper meaning.

Lan Baosheng proposed those compensations, but they directly avoided the topic and instead asked him how much he wanted to retract the report.

Although the case is currently in the investigative stage and it's impossible to know what the evidence is, Lawyer Tang can be sure they certainly recorded it, one hundred percent!

Otherwise, this case would not have been filed and led to an arrest so smoothly.

This is actually getting interesting. Lawyer Tang felt himself heating up; after all the routine cases that were like bullying weaklings, he finally encountered a more cunning play.
