What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 316: Chapter 132: Threatening the enemy with your life? What was he thinking?

In the room, Jin Xintian's parents had been pleading with Old Tang, but when Old Tang spoke, both were stunned.

They immediately turned to look at their son.

For Jin Xintian's parents, this was both shocking and infuriating: they were astonished that their son had suddenly become the subject of a criminal complaint.

Their fury, of course, was that their son was still messing around online despite his current predicament.

Now, listening to Lawyer Tang, it seemed like the two had had some interactions before?

How could that be possible? Although they were both ordinary laborers, they had seen Lawyer Tang's name online; he was truly formidable.

Their son, a junior college graduate, couldn't possibly know Tang Fangjing, could he?

"What exactly is going on, explain it to me clearly!" Jin Shangjin, Jin Xintian's father, shouted.

Jin Xintian remained silent with his head down. When Lawyer Tang brought up the criminal complaint, and when the other party realized he was the Idle Crane in the Clouds from online, he had already decided to give up.

Old Tang spoke unhurriedly: "What, don't want to talk? Then I'll just call your classmate right now to ask if she knows!"

Although Old Tang didn't mention which classmate, Jin Xintian quickly realized it must be Cheng Nanyan.

He couldn't hold back anymore and lifted his head, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Lawyer Tang.

"No, please don't, Tang, Lawyer Tang, don't talk to her!" Jin Xintian hurriedly said.

If Cheng Nanyan found out he was Idle Crane in the Clouds, it would really be over. It would be one thing to go to jail, but for Cheng Nanyan to find out about this, that would be a social death!

And a true social death at that, even in old age, people might still talk about a classmate named Jin Xintian, whose online name was Idle Crane in the Clouds, who despite being a junior college student, always pretended online to be a rich second generation...

Especially since Cheng Nanyan was his unattainable dream, though he wasn't doing well now, Jin Xintian had plans. If he made it in the future, he would certainly look for her.

Witnessing Jin Xintian's reaction, Old Tang's face remained expressionless, a young man like him had no secrets in front of him.

Under Old Tang's gaze, Jin Xintian finally couldn't bear it and said: "I think, I just think that as a young person, why can you be so famous, while I have to work in a factory."

"Plus, Xiao Yan never stops talking about you, how formidable you are, how good..."

By this point, Jin Xintian's gaze toward Old Tang had changed: "I just want to surpass you, I just can't stand to see you do well, is that clear enough now!"

By the time he got to that last sentence, Jin Xintian was yelling.

Revealing the most shameful and disgusting part of his thoughts was unbearable for Jin Xintian.

But now, he could only bear it, his eyes brimming with defiance.

We often come across such young people in life, too—high ambitions but low skills and their minds filled with 'don't scorn the poor youth'. Despite doing poorly, they have frightfully strong self-esteem.

Of course, having strong self-esteem isn't a bad thing, but everything in moderation. Some people, when pushed too far, can't handle any criticism, even well-meaning advice—they take it as mockery...

Jin Xintian's mentality was just like that. He thought Tang Fangjing was doing it on purpose, making him say these things on purpose to shame him. Young peoples' fragile self-esteem can't withstand such humiliation.

Jin Shangjin and his wife were stunned by this conversation. They knew their son was petty-minded, but what on earth was all this about?

Old Tang glanced at Jin Xintian before turning to the couple and said: "Don't understand, do you? Remember when your son did an internship in Dongfang City?

"I happened to have a case there and had asked for his help. I paid him, too. I even thought about having dinner with him..."

He went into detail about everything from the past in Dongfang City, including the matters between Jin Xintian and Cheng Nanyan, speaking very clearly.

As Jin Xintian listened, his fists clenched and he suddenly shouted: "Stop talking, will you? What do you want from me? Do you want me dead? Should I just go jump off a building now?"

By the end, tears were probably flowing out of a sense of grievance.

However, after speaking, he realized that Tang Fangjing across from him was unmoved and already starting to speak again in his unhurried way.

Unable to bear it any longer, he stood up to rush outside, but his parents quickly grabbed him.

"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, please let him off. You said you knew each other before, and he has even helped you. He knows his mistake now..." Jin Xintian's mother pleaded from the side.

Old Tang looked at Jin Xintian across from him and shook his head: "You call this knowing his mistake? I've already paid him for the help he gave me before, we're even.

"Seeing that he still doesn't admit his fault, let's leave it at that."

After speaking, Old Tang stood up and turned to leave, not dragging his feet at all. He had come today to see what the other party was really thinking, and what did he find? A kid who knew nothing but self-esteem.

Resentful because of jealousy, this was not a person worth his time or words!

In the room, Jin Xintian continued to yell, threatening to jump off the building today, to fight Tang Fangjing to the death before taking his own life, and so on...

Old Tang couldn't even be bothered to respond harshly. Serving harsh words to President Lei was because Lei was worth it, but this guy, showing his credentials? How big does he think his face is?

"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang!" Jin Shangjin, who was behind, hurriedly followed after him, intending to say something else.
