What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 821: Chapter 263 Who Summoned Tang Fangjing Again! _2

I dare not think about it, really dare not think anymore.

Lincheng, that place, seems to have a sense of disaster no matter how you look at it.

After reading the application carefully, the staff finally spoke up: “Lawyer Tang, haven’t seen you in a while, is your health okay now?”

Old Tang said with a smile: “Except for cancer metastasizing throughout my body, there really isn’t any major problem.”

Hearing this, the staff member suddenly didn’t know what to say. You call this not a big problem? Who knows when it might be over, can this still be considered not a big problem?

But this is not the time to say such things, so the two of them started to make small talk.

Old Han felt very helpless watching from behind. When they came here to submit the retrial application before, the staff member’s attitude was never this good.

Indeed, comparing people can really kill. Still need to strive harder, as long as you swing the hoe frequently, there is no corner that can’t be dug!

After Old Tang casually exchanged a few sentences, the staff member finally said: “Lawyer Tang, this case of yours for applying for retrial just concluded its second trial not so long ago.”

“I see in your application you think the evidence in this case is insufficient, right?”

Old Tang nodded and said, “The only significant written evidence is the WeChat transfer record. Other than that, it’s basically testimonial evidence.”

“Based solely on this, I don’t think it proves that the parties involved forcibly took someone else’s property.”

The staff member spoke up: “But the judgment states that both of them have already admitted their guilt and accepted their punishment…”

“Admitting guilt and accepting punishment does not mean that they are indeed guilty.” Old Tang joked, “Have you heard the joke? Stay in there for a while, and I’m the one who burned the Notre-Dame de Paris, what do you think, comrade?”

“There are some things I did not write in the application, but it does not mean they don’t exist. The two parties involved have been petitioning step by step. So, I really want to know, under these circumstances, why would the cadres who persuaded them to return take those few thousand bucks by force?”

Old Tang looked at the staff member across from him with a half-smiling expression.

There’s no need to say too much. Whether it’s an order from the leaders or some other reason, can you say these things in court? Can you mention it in the judgment?

A very simple logic: I forcibly take, and then you just give it directly?

To go into more detail, my step-by-step petitioning is legal, and the result, because I’m doing this legal thing and you give money directly, right?

Then, the reasons in the middle need some thorough discussion.

Since there is a Petition Bureau and there are petitioning regulations, then why don’t you let me go? And to keep me from going, you’d rather pay out of your own pocket, but why?

Everything is scary if you think too much.

Hearing this, the staff member quickly said, “Lawyer Tang, stop talking, I will take this case…For now, I’ll notify you of the specific outcome later, is that okay?”

“Of course, no problem,” Old Tang said with a smile.

Who doesn’t know he is the most reasonable person.

Do others know these principles? Of course, they do, but others are not bold enough to assert them. Old Tang doesn’t care; a person with no tomorrow, who else would mind those.

Han Chengli was so nervous while watching all this, only to say that indeed, some cases are really only suitable for Tang Fangjing to handle.

“Director Tang, there’s nothing else for now, right? Why don’t you come sit in my office, I have some good tea…”

Old Tang didn’t want to go, but was dragged forcibly to the car, no choice but to go and sit for a while.

On the way to Dafeng Law Firm, it was Old Tang’s first visit to Dafeng, he even considered working here during his internship, but later gave up because it was too far.

After knowing this, Old Han was almost furious, it turns out, that Wang from Tengda was just damn lucky!

Upon arrival at Dafeng, Old Han introduced Old Tang everywhere.

“Come, come, everyone, take a break from your tasks. This person, I believe everyone knows, even if you haven’t seen him, you’ve heard his name – Tang Fangjing, Lawyer Tang, let’s welcome him!”

Old Han was quite cunning, normally when introducing a lawyer, one would mention which law firm they’re from, but here Old Han purposely omitted it, creating an illusion that Tang Fangjing was joining Dafeng Law Firm!

All the other lawyers in the firm began to welcome him, someone asked: “Director, is Lawyer Tang coming to our Dafeng?”

“Yeah, Director, is Lawyer Tang transferring? What’s the situation?”

Everyone was already so envious of those dogs at Tengda, just because this great god Tang Fangjing is there, they don’t even need to go out to get cases coming to their door.

Look at them, tirelessly hunting for cases just to be treated like salespeople, it’s truly disheartening.

Though Old Han didn’t answer these questions, he simply smiled and said, “It’s just to welcome Lawyer Tang. Everyone, keep up the good work, I need to have a word with Lawyer Tang.”

He couldn’t possibly answer directly; it was all about playing coy.

Just like those unscrupulous men and women who lead you on.

Old Han certainly knew why Tang Fangjing could visit today—it was all thanks to his past contributions.

Countless favors weren’t offered for free, slow cultivation of goodwill meant he wouldn’t be denied a little face.

But still, he wouldn’t ask outright; getting an invitation to the firm was good enough.

Like those men chasing girls, one should not confess easily. Confessing signifies victory, not the call to attack.

Once they entered the office, it was tea and chats. As a senior criminal prosecution lawyer, Old Han had his insights into various criminal cases, and they both had a great conversation.

Meanwhile, Old Wang was almost dumbfounded.

“Director Tang went to Dafeng? Are you sure?”

The young man in front nodded, “I’m certain, sir. I have a friend at Dafeng, he saw Director Tang himself today, and he even had a long chat with Han Chengli from Dafeng.”

Old Wang’s face drained of color. Was Tang Fangjing switching firms? No… that shouldn’t be the case, right?

He’s already a partner at Tengda, Tengda’s interests are his interests, it’s illogical for him to switch firms.

Or is it because… I did not give up the director position to him?

Old Wang speculated wildly until Wang Qingqing came in and spoke directly after learning about the situation, “Uncle, what nonsense are you thinking? Brother Tang just went there for tea, nothing else.”

“He’s doing well at Tengda, why switch firms? What’s the point of your director position, it just ties him down with trivial matters, he can’t go anywhere, so really, stop overthinking it.”

Old Wang listened to his niece’s words and nodded, it seemed to make sense.

Tang liked working on cases and disliked managing miscellaneous affairs; indeed, being in charge would probably frustrate him to death.

Just as he was contemplating, his niece added another comment: “Besides, even though he’s not currently the director, doesn’t he still call the shots at Tengda? Wouldn’t you agree, uncle?”

Old Wang: “o((⊙﹏⊙))o” Even though his niece spoke the truth, why did it feel so heart-wrenching? Was this really his niece?

Tang indeed just had tea and returned without incident.

Online, the previous chaotic situation persisted, those lawyers and legal marketers who rode on the trend were called out one by one.

Who knows why someone had screenshot everything to be used now, leaving the lawyers with no good rebuttal.

Amidst this atmosphere, time passed slowly, and then one morning, Lincheng Intermediate Court received news; the High Court had decided to have Lincheng Intermediate Court reconstitute a collegiate panel to retry a case they had upheld recently.

But that wasn’t the main point; the main point was that the person applying for a retrial was Tang Fangjing.

“What? Tang Fangjing? Are you sure?” Tao Dongli looked at his assistant.

“I’ve seen the retrial application myself, it is indeed Tang Fangjing,” replied the distressed assistant.

Tao Dongli clenched his teeth and growled, “Who brought Tang Fangjing back here again, don’t they know how much effort it took for us to get rid of him?”

Just the thought of that past incident made him want to cry; a respectable Intermediate Court judge turned helpless by a district court mediation.

It took so much effort to successfully mediate and get Tang Fangjing out of Lincheng.

At that time, he hoped this man would never come back; otherwise, Lincheng’s civil servants would eventually be… cough, cough.

And yet, in just over a year, he returned—it’s simply outrageous; the country is so large, why wouldn’t he consider going somewhere else?

In fact, Tao Dongli didn’t know that their court leaders were saying the same thing today: Tang Fangjing was the kind of person you’d want to avoid at all costs—who exactly was responsible…

“What case is it?” asked Tao Dongli, regaining his composure.

The assistant’s face grew even more bitter: “It’s that petition and provocation case from Lindong County…”

Tao Dongli slumped back into his chair, his face blank: “It’s hopeless, let’s just await the inevitable.”
