What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Old Tang felt as if he had a good sleep, he had been busy lately and hadn't rested well, this time he truly experienced the feeling of sleeping until the world turned dark.

When he woke up, he saw Chi Yan standing in front of him, her pretty face full of surprise.

"Tang Bro, you... you're finally awake!" Chi Yan said joyfully.

She didn't burst into tears of joy or cry saying, "Tang Bro, I thought you would never wake up again, boo hoo hoo," nor did Old Tang reach out to touch his head or anything like that.

Because Chi Yan had grown somewhat accustomed to seeing Old Tang lying in the hospital bed, they didn't see each other often, after all, this man was either risking his life or on his way to do so.

So, Tang Fangjing woke up, and Chi Yan was simply happy, that was all.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang smiled and said, "Yeah, I finally woke up, how long was I unconscious this time?"

Chi Yan did some mental calculations and said, "It should be less than a month, but it's still quite long. Many doctors here already thought you had become vegetative."

After a pause, Chi Yan joked, "If I'd known that telling you about Ding Deshui being sentenced to death would wake you up, I would have told you earlier."

Old Tang turned to the window and said, "A month, huh? That's not short. I feel like my muscles are atrophying..."

Of course, it wasn't the news about Ding Deshui's death sentence that woke him up, but the system's task completion notification!

The system's task completion criteria was not simply the enforcement of the sentence, but a comprehensive assessment, with an internal standard of the system.

Thus, some tasks would only be completed after the second trial was executed, while in others, completion was achieved once the verdict from the first trial was handed down.

But why had he been unconscious for so long this time? It didn't make sense.

Old Tang couldn't figure it out because, with Pain Shielding, he didn't have issues like getting a headache from overthinking— it was simply puzzling.

So he decided not to dwell on it for the time being.

Chi Yan, on the other hand, had started to speak, "Tang Bro, you rest first. I'm going to find a doctor and notify Director Wang and the others about you waking up."

Perfect, Old Tang wanted to check the task completion and rewards anyway, so he nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. Oh, and remember to contact those media outlets in Jingzhou, tell them I'm awake, and that we'll stick to the usual routine."

Although Chi Yan didn't know what the usual routine was, she was smart enough not to ask, simply nodding her head and getting up to leave.

Among the media in Jingzhou were official media as well as self-media, all of them loyal followers of Old Tang.

Whatever happened, these media outlets always stood by him, even getting criticized at times.

In return for their support, Old Tang naturally wanted to boost their traffic, so he would occasionally funnel news through them.

But for now, he wasn't concerned with that, the important thing was the system task!

The system had been fading into the background over the last two years, resulting in Old Tang taking on some cases by himself, but Huang Licheng's case had come with a task.

With a mental call, the familiar system panel appeared before his eyes, and soon he saw the system's prompt: Task completed, do you want to claim your reward?

Old Tang found it odd; this was a change in the system over the past few years. Previously, updates were provided via system voice, but now it had switched to written prompts.

Suppressing his curiosity, Old Tang looked at the task completion rate, and the number there made his eyes widen in astonishment!

Behind the task completion rate was a staggering: one thousand percent!

This was a terrifying completion rate that even surprised Old Tang himself; he had anticipated a high completion rate for this case, but he never expected it to be this high!

You see, the highest completion rate for past tasks was only six hundred percent, and the reward given for that was incredibly powerful, with abilities like "Emotion Simulating" being almost magical.

So, was this high completion rate actually because Ding Deshui was sentenced to immediate execution?

Was it that only an immediate execution could yield the highest completion rate?

Wasn't this pushing him towards advocating harsher penalties?

At that moment, Old Tang felt he had figured it out. No wonder he was increasingly feeling off and leaning toward severe punishment, solving issues with criminal law out of habit—the root cause was here!

It was all the system's doing; there could be no issue with Tang Fangjing's mental state.

As he thought this, Old Tang mentally commanded, "System, claim the task reward."

He was truly curious; with such a high task completion rate, what kind of incredible reward would he get?

Resurrection Armor? He still had two uses of it, and it was only the initial reward, back when the task completion rate wasn't that extraordinary.

Then, Old Tang saw a prompt on the system panel: The task reward "Surveillance Repair Three Times (Fake)" has been dispatched.

Surveillance Repair? The name of the skill left Old Tang a bit baffled, as he had never received such a reward before.

Or rather, every previous reward had been based on enhancing his body. He had expected this time it would make his body even more powerful, but it turned out to be a different kind of skill.

Nevertheless, system products were guaranteed to be of high quality. With a completion rate of a thousand percent, surely the skill wouldn't disappoint, so Old Tang began to carefully read the skill description.
