What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 288: Chapter 125: Come, come, come, let me have a preview_3

Arguing generates just as much buzz, and for self-media, controversy is better than no controversy—it's all about the traffic.

In such circumstances, the heat around the entire incident grew hotter and hotter, with some directly claiming they'd find the family members of the other party.

Naturally, the city of Jingzhou got sprayed with criticism.

Never doubt netizens; the first thing they do when problems arise is to look at the place.

And then they found they were wrong since a certain coal-producing province this year had struck several big veins, stunning everyone with their robust posture...

"@SafeJingzhou, what exactly is going on? The person is injured like this and not even an apology?"

"Can't you manage this? Give us a word!"

Pressure quickly came down to the grassroots level; Baishan District Court and Baishan District Procuratorate issued statements saying the case was progressing in an orderly manner, and it had reached the public prosecution stage. The trial would begin in two days.

As for apologizing, that's something the relevant departments can't and won't handle.

The other party didn't even want a letter of understanding; it was clear they certainly wouldn't apologize, and the relevant departments couldn't possibly force an apology.

In the office, Zheng Lingfen looked at the online video trending and couldn't help but exclaim, "We've exploded another video, I'll treat you all after work tonight!"

"Thanks, Sister Zheng!" a colleague shouted out.

For self-media, traffic is life; as long as there's traffic, don't worry about the profits.

However, just as Zheng Lingfen was about to take a break, another colleague suddenly said, "Sister Zheng, Sister Zheng, look at this, someone said the defendant's lawyer is Tang Fangjing!"

Tang Fangjing?

With a puzzled face, Zheng Lingfen asked, "Which Tang Fangjing? Wait, are you talking about Jingzhou Tengda's Tang Fangjing?"

"Right, Sister Zheng, that's him, our information is definitely correct!"

The fact that the opposing lawyer was Tang Fangjing was not what Zheng Lingfen had expected.

So, why would Tang Fangjing be the opposing lawyer? What could be the reason?

"Sister Zheng, what do we do now?" asked the colleague.

"Expose the news, don't worry, the trial is about to start, and everything is going to be clear," said Zheng Lingfen confidently.

"But... but that's Tang Fangjing we're talking about. If he's the defendant's lawyer, might the case..." the colleague hesitated.

The reputation one has mirrors the prestige of the tree – Old Tang's renown was hard-earned, without any external influence!

Upon hearing this, Zheng Lingfen laughed and said, "What do you think Tang Fangjing is, a sorcerer? Don't you know that in our country's criminal proceedings, a lawyer is just for show?"

"Do you think we're in a foreign country? Lawyers aren't that influential, rest assured, the judge will decide the case, a lawyer can't make that much of a difference."

Zheng Lingfen understood the legal profession; as long as she had been working, she naturally had lawyer friends.

They often chatted during meals, and her lawyer friends frequently complained that the presence of a lawyer in a criminal trial hardly mattered, so she didn't believe Tang Fangjing could make a significant impact.

What made others famous was risking their necks...

The colleague nodded upon hearing this, it seemed to make sense.

As Zheng Lingfen predicted, the news exploded online, instantly raising the already high buzz to another level!

"You'd Think It's a Shaded Path": The defendant's lawyer is actually Old Tang? Then I'll have to wait and see, but why has Old Tang headed over to Jingzhou again?

"You'd Think It Was Pink, But Time Has Tarnished It": I'm curious, why would Tang Fangjing take on such a case? Is he short on money?

"Rem, My Wife": To the one above, the case hasn't been judged yet, why are you so sure? How many times must we let the bullets fly before you get it?

"Idling Clouds and Wild Cranes": Tang Fangjing certainly isn't short on money, but who doesn't like money? Now that he's famous, he's definitely in it for the earnings; what else would you think he's after?

Old Tang rarely posted messages online, so some people started again.

Comments like "Idling Clouds and Wild Cranes" were bound to be rebuffed, but undeterred, they kept clashing with others online. In the end, it all boiled down to one thing: they were risking it all for the fame!

"Rem, My Wife": @Idling Clouds and Wild Cranes, I'm puzzled, why are you everywhere? Following your logic, why doesn't everyone take such risks?

"Idling Clouds and Wild Cranes": How do you know they don't take risks? Remember that extreme sports player who failed to grip and fell down a building? Can you say they don't risk their lives?

"Tang Fangjing has made a name for himself, and he's got a steady stream of cases coming in, that's where the money is. It's all business in their hearts, I can't be bothered arguing with you fans."

Ju Haiqing, who had returned to Jingzhou, looked at the online responses. As a seasoned keyboard warrior, for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

The internet was ablaze with disputes, and naturally, Old Tang saw them too.

After careful consideration, he decided not to respond. Whatever said online was pointless; if he lost the case, any words now could become a boomerang later...

Boomerangs are all too common these days, especially online—speak cautiously, a moment's inattention and the boomerang hits you instead.

The key was still to win; victory was more useful than anything.

Certainly, one aspect was very curious: Li Huaiqing's wife had gone to see the other party and, without mentioning anything else, had almost drained their finances to provide the money.

It wasn't much, but it was all the money they could scrape together; if that didn't show sincerity, what would? When there's no money, that's just it—there's nothing to give.
