What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 280: Chapter 123: Boosting Everyone's Strength! (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass)_4

"Then he quarreled with the other party a couple of times and had even made a call to the police."

"The two young guys behind said to go forward a bit more, to some place I forgot."

"My husband got angry at that point and said if it's not working out he'd take them back to where they picked them up, and they got in the car."

"As we turned around, one of them said they wanted to get out of the car. The door wasn't locked yet, and he even opened the door to jump out, but his companion held him back."

Hearing this, Old Tang spoke up, "Did your husband stop the car then?"

"He didn't stop, probably locked the door, drove on for a bit, not too far I suppose, when the other person in the back said the one from before had jumped out through the car window."

"My husband drove a few hundred meters further, stopped to let them out, and then drove away."

"The next thing was the traffic police calling the next day, saying there had been an accident, and asking him to come to the traffic police team..."

Old Tang slowly listened to the whole incident, but he still didn't completely believe what the other side was saying, after all, this was second-hand testimony.

"So, what are you thinking now? I'll tell you first, I can take the case!"

While speaking, Old Tang glanced sideways at the system panel, and as expected, the mission had been updated.

However, compared to previous mission objectives, this one seemed a bit strange.

"Mission Objective": Use legal means to clear Li Huaiqing of the false accusation!

The reward for the mission was still stingy, only six months as before.

It seems the system is still timid, I thought it would come up with some kind of heartless ploy, but it seems not so much.

With a system mission, the case can definitely be taken on, and the sooner it ends, the better. Ideally, it would end during the investigation phase or the review and indictment phase.

It's the same old saying, when it gets to court, it becomes uncertain, and to achieve an acquittal is really hard.

Feng Caixia, hearing Old Tang's words, cheered up for a moment, then her expression turned bitter: "But... But Lawyer Tang, my family really doesn't have much money now, only a few thousand yuan, you see..."

They had spent quite a bit paying compensation to the other party and were out of options.

Although the internet repeatedly says not to go see the other party after an accident or to pay money upfront, still, people go and do it, feeling sorry for the injured person.

And she had also consulted a lawyer before. The investigative stage has its own fees, and the review and indictment have their own, with different charges.

Even just having a lawyer visit to pass on a message requires separate payment... Discover stories at mvl

So Feng Caixia knew she couldn't really say anything else.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang chuckled and said, "Don't worry about the money. If you have money after the case is settled, give a little. If not, I'll consider it community service."

Not everything in life should revolve around money, anyway, he had to focus on survival now.

However, upon hearing this, Feng Caixia was stunned again: "Tang, Lawyer Tang, that won't do, how can you not charge? I heard from a lawyer that if you don't charge for a lawsuit, you can be penalized."

Old Tang chuckled again and replied, "Put your mind at ease, nobody dares to penalize me, let's leave it at that. I'll prepare the contract with Jingzhou, and we'll sign it before anything else."

"Then I'll go and visit your husband first to see how he's doing."

Having said this, Old Tang stepped to the side and began making a call to have the law firm prepare the contract and the materials for the visit.

Feng Caixia forcibly held back her tears. Right now, her family really had nothing much to count on, Lawyer Tang was truly a good person.

Tengda, Old Wang looked at the contract, stamped it without showing any emotion.

Heh, talking about going out for fun, and here they are, spending money on the law firm.

Old Tang could do it for free, but the law firm's procedures still had to be followed, as this involved tax issues.

The only option was for Old Tang not to charge a fee himself, with everything else calculated at the minimum rate.

...

In the detention center of Baishan District, Li Huaiqing sat on the large bunk, with red-rimmed eyes, occasionally rubbing them.

He was worried about his grandchildren, his wife, and even more about the future...

The police had already said that the matter was serious. The victim had sustained a second-degree serious injury, which was basically involuntary manslaughter.

Why? He knew nothing at all. That person had jumped out of the car by himself. But now, as the driver, he's considered a criminal...
