What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 84: Chapter 72: Old Tang, your niece has been kidnapped!

Old Ge, with his extensive experience, saw that something was off and, while calling for help, stepped forward to block the woman.

Hearing these words, Old Liu's face, originally filled with urgency, became a little bewildered; he had never experienced anything like this before, so he didn't react at first.

But soon, he realized that the "bitch" the other person was referring to seemed to be his own daughter.

Immediately, Old Liu couldn't help but say, "Can't you speak without being so offensive, I..."

However, the woman coming towards them spoke up again: "You think my words are offensive? You complain about my words being offensive, but why don't you control your bitch of a daughter? Do you know my son is still in resuscitation?"

"Still find my words offensive, bitch bitch bitch, that's what I'll call her. I'm telling you, if anything happens to my son, I'll fight you with my life!"

The woman was shouting and crying at the same time, causing Old Liu's forehead to throb with veins; the other person's words were just too unpleasant.

"No, we haven't even figured out the situation yet, please stop cursing people like this..."

"So what if I curse, I'll hit you too!"

The woman across them said these words as she attempted to rush over, but Old Ge hurriedly pulled her back and said, "Alright, everyone calm down, this is a police station!"

A shout finally made the woman in front of him stop, but she turned her head and began to cry: "Officer, I can't live like this, he's my only son, and if he doesn't make it, I won't either..."

The man beside the woman also spoke up: "That's right, officer, her daughter stabbed my nephew, and we can't even scold her?"

Old Ge frowned and said, "Her daughter stabbed your son; our public security organs have already filed the case for investigation. Everything is regulated, and it should be dealt with as it should be, what's the point of scolding him?"

"Alright, come sit down over here and take a rest."

Old Liu stood there somewhat at a loss; he had been completely numbed by the incident as if his brain had overloaded from receiving too much information in a short period.

As the family members of the victim, Old Ge had a police officer take the siblings aside to calm them down.

He then approached Old Liu and said, "Don't just stand there dumbfounded. You've heard the situation is grave. Either go to the hospital to visit and be polite; it will make it easier to get a letter of forgiveness later."

"Or you should find a reliable lawyer quickly. Time is pressing. Standing there dumbfounded won't do any good."

As an experienced officer, Old Ge was well aware of Old Liu's situation; he had seen too many cases like this.

Many people are stunned when they suddenly face criminal charges and don't know what to do. However, this period is crucial, and within the profession, it is even referred to as the golden thirty-seven days of criminal defense!

Why? Because from the time the public security organ detains the suspect to the time the procuratorate makes an arrest decision, the maximum time allowed is thirty-seven days.

Many people think that criminal defense is all about eloquent debates in court and subsequent acquittal, and while such instances do occur, most criminal cases involve lawyers working hard before the arrest to strive for non-arrest and, if arrested, to argue against prosecution.

So Old Ge still mentioned it; it wouldn't actually affect the case itself. Whatever it was, it would remain, but it meant defense lawyers could get involved earlier.

Hearing Old Ge's words, Old Liu quickly nodded, having been stunned by the woman's cursing earlier, forgetting that he had already decided to find a lawyer.

He rushed out, drove straight to Tengda Law Firm, and on the way, he was so flustered he nearly rear-ended another car.

When he was close to the law firm, Old Liu took out his phone and began to make a call, no longer caring about the rules against using a phone while driving. Let them fine him.

But before he could make the call, his wife's call came through.

"Hey wife, yes I know, I just came out from the police station, on my way to find a lawyer, don't panic, just come to Tengda Law Firm outside our community, okay!"

On the other end of the line, Rao Wenyu's tone also carried a sense of disbelief.

"Old Liu, this...are you saying it's true about Xiao Yan? But..."

"What time is it now, and you're still hesitating, either come to Tengda Law Firm or go home!"

With a bang, the call was ended, and Old Liu hurriedly dialed Tang Fangjing.

At Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang was sitting in the conference room looking at the intern lawyers in front of him, with a stern-faced Old Song by his side, while Miss Xiao Yan was placing two cups of water on the table.

"Since you've chosen Tengda, I trust that you've done your homework about us. Everyone's aware of Tengda's status in the industry. For now, everyone can start by introducing themselves."

"Oh, my name is Song Tengfei, the person next to me is Lawyer Tang, Tang Fangjing, and this is Lawyer Yan, Yan Xueling."

The intern lawyers, upon hearing this, immediately turned their gaze towards Old Tang. A person's name carries weight like a tree's shadow. In the eyes of the intern lawyers, Tang Fangjing was the most formidable, not to mention that for so many years, no intern lawyer had dared to go against the lawyers' association like he had.

Moreover, this most formidable figure had never compromised, and instead had brought down the lawyers' association!

Old Tang simply nodded his head, to these novices he was indeed a senior, and nodding was already giving face.

Sigh, it's just so boring. I found a gym to learn fighting skills for a few days, only to find out the coach wasn't even as good as me.

Wanting to find some work at a bank to make some money but can't find anything, and I can't trigger any missions either, it's frustrating.

Feeling frustrated, he became stricter with the intern lawyers.

This old hand, just like a chief physician in a hospital, would throw out a few questions and instantly make the intern lawyer novices feel dizzy and disoriented.

But now the naive eagerness in the novices' eyes was even stronger. Look at that, this is what you call a big shot. Although he had only recently obtained his practicing certificate, he'd already handled several major cases. Look at the gap in level, it's quite significant.

Lawyer Xiao Yan was now a salaried attorney at Tengda, the kind that received a fixed salary, had to clock in on time, and had to do whatever came her way. Watching Old Tang take down a few novices, she thought he looked pretty cool!

Just as Old Song was feeling a bit crazy, Tang Fangjing's phone rang.

"Hello Old Liu, what, there's another case with your residents' committee?"

Lawyer Tang picked up the phone and stood up, leisurely walking toward the door, instantly giving the intern lawyers a breather.

Even if the person across is an idol, it's still not too great when the idol keeps asking questions...

Old Tang was still joking around when the other end, Old Liu, interrupted directly: "What residents' committee? How can I have the mind to deal with the committee's affairs now? Old Tang, your niece, my daughter, she's been arrested!"

Tang Fangjing's face changed instantly: "Your daughter who's in junior high? When was she arrested? What happened? Forget it, it's not good to talk on the phone; come straight to the law firm, I'm in the office right now."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Fangjing pushed open the door of the conference room: "Old Song, something's come up on my end; you can handle the rest of the work. Xiao Yan, come and help me take record!"

Since she was a salaried lawyer, and the intern lawyers were basically like mules and horses, salaried lawyers... might be slightly stronger than that, perhaps.

Miss Xiao Yan quickly got to her feet, feeling that Brother Tang across from her suddenly became very serious!

And totally different from his previous nonchalant demeanor.

Ten minutes later, Old Liu finally arrived at the bottom of Tengda's building, taking two steps at a time as he went upstairs.
