What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"But they said they couldn't help themselves after hearing that Director Tang asked them to come over, so they just wanted to come early and wait, telling us not to worry about them."

After a pause, Lili added: "I heard it's a criminal case..."

Hearing this, Old Song fell silent; there really was nothing that could be done about this.

It's like having a patient at home who's finally managed to secure an appointment with a top specialist at Xiehe hospital; of course, you'd want to go early to wait.

Even if you wouldn't miss the time, you'd still want to go early.

At this moment, more and more clients were gathering at the reception hall, which explains why Tengda never lacks cases.

There are many walk-in clients every day, not to mention those making appointments via the internet, phone, and other methods.

Among those present, the child from a family of three looked about eight or nine years old and asked, "Dad, how much longer do we have to wait?"

The father forced a smile and replied, "Just a bit longer; I don't know either, it should be soon."

His name is Zhang Minghui, a type of small-town scholar. He was admitted to Handong University and stayed in Jingzhou after graduation to start a family.

Now, like many striving individuals, he's bought a house in Jingzhou, paying off a mortgage every month. Although the work is exhausting, at least there is something to look forward to.

His wife is from the same place as him; they both worked hard to get where they are.

There are many such small families in the city. On the surface, it seems like their lives are decent, but with any minor issue, this small family might collapse.

For instance, encountering an unfinished building when buying a house, or suddenly facing job problems, could have the mortgage crush this family.

The group of people labeled as dishonest persons subject to enforcement is growing, and part of it consists of people like this. Unable to repay the mortgage, they're sued, and the house is auctioned off by the bank, yet the money from the sale still isn't enough to cover the debt.

After years of hard work, they end up with nothing, even owing a pile of debt.

In the past, people like this would be mocked for buying a house beyond their means, but now banks aren't even interested in repossessing these homes...

Conversely, as long as there's a willingness to repay the loan, banks strive to offer various conveniences, reportedly even helping those who've lost jobs to find new employment, allowing them to repay slowly, or even put payments on hold...

For Zhang Minghui, the current situation could hardly be worse.

Driving to work, an electric bike rider collided with another pedestrian, and the rider directly fell in front of his car.

At that time, he didn't see anything and drove straight over...

Now the person is dead, and the traffic accident responsibility report determined he bears the main responsibility, which entails a sentence.

The compensation matter is with the insurance company, but their compensation can't satisfy the deceased's family.

Luckily, he's currently out on bail pending trial.

If he actually went to prison, the family would be finished; his wife's salary alone couldn't support them.

That's why, upon knowing that Lawyer Tang asked them to come over, the whole family was excited for a long time.

It's not that they're blindly trusting anyone; mainly, Lawyer Tang's past victories are too impressive.

Now, Old Tang is the entire family's hope.

Finally, Old Tang's figure appeared at the door, and the receptionist immediately stepped forward and said, "Director, your clients have arrived. Do you want to see them now or...?"

"My clients? Oh right, they're here so early, let them come to my office then. Where's Qingqing, hasn't she arrived yet?"

Old Tang asked casually.

"Sister Qingqing went to buy something."

Old Tang nodded and went directly into the office.

Lili immediately walked to the side and said, "Mr. Zhang, our director is here, you can go in now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Minghui immediately became nervous, leading his wife and child, following the receptionist into the office, where they saw a young man with a smile on his face.

"Director Tang, hello," Zhang Minghui quickly said.

Old Tang nodded: "Have a seat, you came so early this morning, must have been anxious? Let's get started."

"You brought the traffic accident responsibility report, right? Let me see it first."

He already had a rough idea of the situation, as it was recorded in a previous visit, and now it was mainly to confirm things.

Zhang Minghui hurriedly took out the report from his bag and handed it over, while the couple watched nervously, much like family members seeking an expert doctor's diagnosis.

Old Tang carefully reviewed the report, finding the situation similar to what he had imagined.

The person crushed to death was riding an electric bike on a non-motor vehicle lane, but in fact, this type of electric bike should be considered an electric motorcycle under the new national standards.

The rider was going fast, probably trying to quickly cross the intersection, and then collided with a pedestrian who ran a red light, falling onto the motor vehicle lane with the bike.

At that moment, the direction had a green light, Zhang Minghui drove forward, and someone suddenly fell nearby, crushing...

"You didn't see the person fall at that time, right?"

Zhang Minghui quickly replied, "Yes, Lawyer Tang, at that time, I was the second car, and when the green light lit up, I started. Someone fell at that time, and I couldn't see."

"By the time I felt that I might have run over something, it was too late..."

Old Tang shook his head and said, "You were really unlucky."

Hearing this, Zhang Minghui couldn't hold back anymore, wiping his tears and saying, "Lawyer Tang, no one wants something like this to happen, I really didn't know."

"And at that moment, I just couldn't react. Suddenly, there was just someone..."
