What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Inside the meeting room, a heavy silence hung. Old Tang took a leisurely sip of tea before continuing, "That's roughly my plan. Does anyone have any questions?"

His approach to handling cases has always been to strategize before taking action, though the so-called "on-the-spot improvisation" seems particularly impressive.

Yet for a lawyer, being forced to "improvise" can only mean you haven't done your preparation properly.

This is the difference between a real top lawyer and those brilliant ones portrayed in dramas.

The impressive lawyers in television shows seem like they don't need any preparation at all. Everything is in their heads; they can adapt in court, with extraordinary eloquence.

But in reality, competent lawyers prepare everything in advance, including organizing evidence, logical structures, applicable laws, potential arguments from the opposition, and strategies for countering them.

In court, they might just dryly read out these points, not appearing smart at all, but winning is what counts.

Cui Yuping in the meeting room opened his mouth, yet couldn't utter a single word.

Just moments ago, he had been the most eager to question because, in his opinion, this Lawyer Tang was being somewhat presumptuous, abruptly wanting to find who leaked confidential information.

All present had interests tied to the patented technology; it seemed impossible for anyone to leak information, as no one would be that foolish.

Unexpectedly, the other side really had a solution, and it sounded particularly feasible!

The group had previously forgotten that safety evaluation reports and detailed design documents could also serve as evidence!

Being the adult he was, Cui Yuping finally spoke, "Lawyer Tang, in that case, I have no objections. I'm just curious, how do you plan to discern the leak situation?"

The shift from "you" to "Sir" indicates that people with technical skills generally respect the capable, because with technology, you either know it, or you don't.

They can do what you can't.

Since ancient times, it's said that scholars often despise each other, but when have you ever heard of warriors doing the same? You think I'm not good? Let's have a fight to see who is.

Huang Zhongyi, on the other hand, was beaming. After hearing Old Tang's explanation, he suddenly felt that the likelihood of successfully defending their rights was very high!

Cai Jinxu thought for a moment and asked, "So Lawyer Tang, does this mean we can receive two compensations?"

This was a question that suddenly occurred to him.

What? The others froze for a moment. It did seem so; previously, they only sued for compensation for patent infringement. Now there was an additional infringement of trade secrets!

Can the law be played this way?

Old Tang nodded, "Indeed, since there are two lawsuits, it surely means two compensations."

With that, Huang Zhongyi felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. The law in the hands of ordinary people versus those of the powerful were two completely different concepts.

"Then Lawyer Tang, please say what we should do next. We're all following your lead!" Huang Zhongyi was the first to express support.

Old Tang looked at the four people present, and then spoke, "Mr. Huang, let's proceed according to what we previously discussed, let's talk individually."

Although everyone was somewhat skeptical about whether this could yield results, there really wasn't a better plan at the moment.

Moreover, the scenario Lawyer Tang just described was too enticing—two compensations!

Naturally, they started with Huang Zhongyi. Even though it seemed he would never leak information, fairness was essential.

The two sat in the meeting room while the other three and Wang Qingqing left. Then Old Tang spoke, "Mr. Huang, is everything arranged?"

Huang Zhongyi nodded, "It's all arranged, but Director Tang, are you so sure there's definitely someone who leaked information?"

Old Tang smiled. If at first he wasn't certain, now he could confirm one hundred percent that Tengfei Company's technology had been leaked.

Moreover, the person who leaked it was that man who had spoken the least earlier.

There was no other way, as long as Old Tang could hold his ground, with Mind Reading, there were essentially no secrets.

He had intentionally said a lot just now to make the people present recall past events. In other words, the so-called verification had already begun.

The reason for starting with Huang Zhongyi was to explain things and get the meeting room cameras ready, and also to gather the company's primary leaders to witness together.

Mind Reading cannot directly serve as evidence, but Old Tang can use "deep hypnosis" to get the other party to disclose everything.

The camera also has a recording function, and with so many witnesses, that is enough to file a police report.

There was no help for it; these two skills combined are indeed invincible!

A life of hacks, lonely as snow.

It's just a pity that such a useful skill came with only three trial opportunities. It seems in the future, he must explore more cases to get the system to grant more of these skills.

"Mr. Huang, if you trust me with this matter, then go make the arrangements. We're about to begin."

Huang Zhongyi nodded silently at these words, then rose and left the meeting room.

Outside, Huang Zhongyi said, "Mr. Tao, you'll be the first? Lawyer Tang will just ask a few questions."

The person addressed as Mr. Tao was Tao Zhongcheng. He was the one among the four who had spoken the least and was also one of the inventors of the company's technology, currently the Deputy Chief Engineer.
