What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 846: Chapter 271: Isn’t it a Surprise?_3

“Didn’t someone say before that all the ways to make money are written in the criminal law.”

Everyone was chiming in, some saying they had long noticed that Li Yili’s business seemed fishy.

“I did notice that. Come on, think about it, he’s just a college student. If making money was that easy, would it be his turn? What a joke.”

There’s no shortage of hindsight, but only Tan Huihui sat there, stunned, no longer speaking to the female classmate who had just talked to her.

She still hadn’t grasped how her ambitious boyfriend got arrested out of the blue, especially since her birthday is tomorrow!

As she dwelled on it, Tan Huihui finally couldn’t hold back her tears and muttered, “What really happened? Why would they arrest him? He doesn’t seem like the criminal type…”

“He even promised me a surprise…”

The others stopped talking, exchanging glances, unsure of what to say next. They were all classmates, except for Tan Huihui who was brought by Li Yili.

Some couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing about the supposed surprise.

And getting arrested the day before her birthday, that’s kind of a surprise too, isn’t it…

On the other side, Li Yili was seated on the regret chair, completely sober now, spilling everything without any need for the police to say ‘confess for leniency, resist for severity.’

“I just thought, selling so cheap, they themselves should know these can’t be genuine products. I really didn’t think this was a crime…”

It all happened too fast, feeling unreal to him, like a dream.

However, the officer in front of him was giving him no latitude.

“You never thought about it? Take the recent order from Jingzhou, they told you that the bicycles you sold had serious quality issues, asking for a refund of three times the price. What did you say?”

“You called them poor bastards, you said you wouldn’t refund a penny, right? Did you not know? You knew perfectly well in your heart.”

Police see this kind of people all the time.

Do they really know nothing? Not necessarily.

They’re well aware of the quality issues of the products they sell, not to mention how many accounts were banned due to the quality of the bicycles they sold.

If he still claims ignorance, that will really be suspicious.

Hearing this, Li Yili was dumbfounded. How could the police know all this?

“Curious, aren’t you? Someone from Jingzhou took the trouble to come here to report the crime as a victim. And do you know who’s handling the case? It’s Lawyer Tang Fangjing from Jingzhou.”

“The one you spoke with on the phone was him. You told him to sue wherever he liked.”

He held back from saying “That’s really bold of you”.

Such things should not be disclosed, but it was expressly requested from the other side to only mention the name Tang Fangjing.

Thinking about it, that really is bold. After all, not many people dare speak to Lawyer Tang Fangjing like that now.

Li Yili was astounded, so this was the source of it all!

Thinking of what he had said before, Li Yili suddenly burst into loud, uncontrollable sobs.

He truly regretted it; if he had agreed to refund the money when first requested, he wouldn’t have ended up going to jail.

The officer had just made the legal situation clear: for the amount involved, the starting sentence would be seven years.

Actually, the profit wasn’t as high as he thought, but the crime is based on sales volume, not profit margin.

The officer consoled him for a while, waiting for Li Yili to stabilize before saying, “So, talk. Where are those manufacturers located, and how do you contact them? If you have meritorious performance, coupled with pleading guilty and accepting punishment, you can receive a lighter or mitigated sentence, got it?”

Meanwhile in Jingzhou, Liu Hanwen was sitting in a conference room, listening to Old Tang’s recounting.

“Now that Li Yili has been arrested, the case there will be put on hold, because criminal proceedings come first before civil ones. But doesn’t matter, just wait for the criminal case.”

“Do you understand how to handle a case now? If it was a civil case, from first to second trial and then enforcement, who knows how long that would take, plus the other party doesn’t care about the money.”

“You need to grasp the main conflict of the problem. How so? By dealing with the person at the heart of the main conflict, the main conflict itself will naturally be resolved.”

As for telling the other party those things, that was simply Old Tang’s personal enjoyment and habit.

Anyway, for any case that’s even slightly troublesome, he’s accustomed to stepping forward and drawing all the fire.

After the lesson, Old Tang slowly walked out of the conference room, planning to rest properly.

Just then, his phone rang. It was Judge Tao from the Intermediate Court.

“Judge Tao, what’s up, calling me? Oh, the investigation in Lincheng had a result, has it… Okay, I’ve got it.”

After hanging up, Old Tang searched online and immediately found the announcement from Lincheng.

Last time he hadn’t even made a move, and Lincheng had taken the initiative to investigate twenty-six people. Now they had results, with ten being dismissed and their offences referred to the judiciary.

Each received sentences of varying lengths.

The remaining sixteen received various levels of disciplinary action, as detailed in a thorough report which showed Lincheng had indeed put effort into this matter.

Pretty good, just a pity that Old Tang hadn’t had a chance to play his part.

…

At the same time, in a law firm in Xihong District, Sun Yan looked at the lawyer in front of her and said, “Why do they suddenly want mediation? Didn’t they say they’d appeal?”
