What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Responsible for making the announcement was still Yu Niandong, who was now requesting Zhou Zhixing to sign the notification document.

However, what Old Tang didn't expect happened: Zhou Zhixing seemed to explode all of a sudden.

"How long has it been since I was detained? It's been several months, right? After all your to-and-fro, you're giving me a ten-day detention again, right? Fine, I won't sign, I don't acknowledge this!"

Although he had been told by Lawyer Tang that things would not go smoothly, this was a bit too outrageous; the decision remained unchanged at ten days, and they had claimed that the procedure was legal and the facts and evidence were clear and definitive.

This was something Zhou Zhixing could not accept.

Seeing that Zhou Zhixing was about to argue again, Old Tang spoke out, "Alright, officer, not signing won't affect the penalty's validity, so let's just leave it at that."

"You don't need to speak either, we didn't come here to argue. Just take the notification document and go."

Yu Niandong from across the table said, "Wait a minute, there's one more thing."

As he spoke, he took out another document. Old Tang took it and was somewhat speechless.

It was an "Administrative Compensation Decision," which stated that they had re-issued a ten-day administrative detention according to the court's ruling.

Therefore, the decision was made not to provide compensation!

Old Tang looked at the two documents in his hand dumbfoundedly and then suddenly spoke out, "You guys... sure have a smooth transition."

Hearing this, Yu Niandong just said, "You've received them, yes? If you're not signing, then we're done here."

Old Tang took a deep look and then turned around, leaving with Zhou Zhixing.

Once they were out of the station, Zhou Zhixing's anger was slightly better controlled, and he asked, "Lawyer Tang, what do we do now? Isn't their behavior a bit too much!"

However, Old Tang just laughed, "Too much? It's not too much at all. Everything was done according to the procedure, and there's also the testimony from the property management company's witness proving that the financial statement isn't theirs."

"As for what we do, of course, we file a lawsuit. Don't worry, their doing this is actually a good thing."

"A good thing?" Zhou Zhixing looked puzzled, "How could this be a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing. The court just annulled your ten-day detention, and they issued another ten-day detention right after. Even though it won't need to be served after the offset, this clearly indicates a problem. They are disregarding the court's ruling!"

"That's the Intermediate Court..."

Old Tang truly couldn't believe that the Intermediate Court would let things slide under these circumstances—what about their dignity?

Soon, Old Tang came to the Lincheng City Intermediate Court again and filed an administrative lawsuit.

Quite coincidentally, the staff member at the window was someone familiar, who appeared utterly baffled upon seeing the nearly identical documents.

"Lawyer Tang, has your client been given another ten-day penalty?"

Old Tang responded with a smile, "Yes, exactly the same. That's why we're here again. Ah, defending rights is difficult nowadays; we still rely on the court for justice."

The staff member didn't respond and simply went on with the review.

Old Tang continued, "I don't know how much longer I can live with my illness; I hope to resolve this before I die."

The moment these words were said, the staff member couldn't help but look up, then said, "Well then, Lawyer Tang, you should go back first. I'll inform you when we have a result."

The response was the same as ever.

Old Tang left the court with a nod and a smile, his step tinged with a trace of desolation.

The case files quickly ended up in the hands of the presiding judge, who did not hesitate even for a second to accept the case. There was no need to second-guess.

If the idea was to use this second detention notification to intimidate someone, it wouldn't work. At this point, continuing the lawsuit was a certainty.

Did they still think they could win?

A week later, it was time for the hearing at the Lincheng City Intermediate Court. There were only Zhou Zhixing's wife and a few friends in the observers' seats, all wearing worried expressions.

This was the second round, and no one knew what the outcome of such persistence would be.

What if this behavior was also considered picking quarrels and causing trouble? What if there was another detention?

In the defendant's seat, it was still Yu Niandong and Officer Liu; they were not surprised by this lawsuit. In fact, it was inevitable that it would continue at this point.

In such an atmosphere, the Judgment Chief entered.
