What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Tao Dongli now truly felt that what Ji Xugang said made a lot of sense. He had been thinking about going to the leaders at the mediation center to lodge a complaint; after all, we're all part of the judicial system, so now that something has happened, you definitely have to speak up for us. But then Tang Fangjing just turned his back on us, and you even said something like "Let's leave it here for today, Lawyer Tang, please take your time", whose side are you on! However, things were different now, after Ji Xugang's repeated communications, Tao Dongli felt that the other party was indeed considering his interests. On this side, Ji Xugang looked genuinely concerned as he said, "Judge Tao, we now need to understand the situation clearly, a single misstep, and the High Court may end up as the defendant." "We can't delay on our side either, once the case is filed, we'll have to follow the procedures, so you should speed up the process over there, and handle what needs to be handled urgently." Ji Xugang was a professional in this respect; having been a mediator for almost twenty years secured his position as the top mediator at the center, mainly because he was particularly good at empathizing with others. During his day-to-day mediations, what he excelled at was separating the two sides and then empathizing with them individually before finally reaching a settlement. It sounds easy, but this is the real skill! At least Tao Dongli, who had always been a criminal court judge, did not have this skill. Yet Tao Dongli was still frowning, torn between the High Court becoming a defendant, gaining national notoriety with a public apology, and several wrongful and unjust cases; neither option seemed good. On this side, Ji Xugang spoke again, "Judge Tao, it seems you might have misunderstood me, when I spoke of showing sincerity, I just meant that you should handle the cases faster, I didn't say you had to do anything in particular." He had to make it clear; he hadn't said anything out of line, just that they should speed things up a bit. "Moreover, I believe Lawyer Tang doesn't simply want to use this case to pressure you into doing anything, he can't stand injustice..." This wasn't Ji Xugang talking nonsense, this was based on his analysis as an "Old Tang super fan." In fact, since Old Tang started doing property cases, Ji Xugang had been watching his videos and even commenting with multiple accounts to help out. So he actually knew Lawyer Tang quite well; he might pressure the court through other measures, but that doesn't mean he would force the court to comply with his wishes. On the contrary, the feeling was more like: hurry up with your process, judge however you feel appropriate, and if you win, that's it, if you lose, I quickly move on to the next level. Yes, just that feeling: no matter what, you just need to come up with a result quickly! In fact, many people in life are like Old Tang, just one sentence: can it be done, do it if it can, say it can't if it can't, dragging it out is very annoying. Tao Dongli finally understood and slowly nodded, "So that's it, no matter what, thanks to you, Mediator Ji, today." He said no more, for now, it wasn't the right time to say anything else, as the other man's words were very clear, how you judge the case is your right, after all, the court must have an independent trial, free from interference from any other agency or individual. So Tang Fangjing wouldn't interfere with your specific cases, he was just urging you to hurry up and not delay! "Zhai, let's go." After thanking Ji Xugang, Tao Dongli immediately got up with Zhai Xinhua and left. However, just as they opened the door of the mediation room, they saw a pretty boy with a familiar back in the distance. The pretty boy was naturally Old Tang, who had a feeling that something was off today because the mediator was a little too cooperative! If he didn't know any better, for a moment, he would have thought it was Old Song, with his little assists and seamless coordination; it felt too good to be true. When something seems off, Old Tang slipped back and eavesdropped on the mediation room door. After all, he was a man with tricks up his sleeve, the people inside didn't notice, and to be safe, he even borrowed a coat from a staff member on the first floor. The reason was simple: I just got out of the hospital, not feeling well, and I wore too little today. Although it was June or July, the staff member had no suspicions, this was Tang Fangjing, borrowing clothes was nothing, they would be happy even if he took the coat! The courthouse corridor was long, with a bit of distance from the mediation room to the staircase entrance; it was not possible for someone to reach the staircase instantaneously upon leaving. "Tang... Lawyer Tang? You, weren't you gone already?" Tao Dongli looked bewildered at the pretty boy, never dreaming that such a man would be eavesdropping! You're Tang Fangjing, the famous "Do-or-Die Lawyer" on the internet, who even after being shot, could rebuke the other party's morals, and here you are eavesdropping?!! However, the pretty boy in front seemed not to hear and was gone after turning the corner. Ji Xugang, who followed out, instantly found it amusing, never expecting that Lawyer Tang would have overheard his words; the feeling was simply too exhilarating! As for whether Lawyer Tang doing such a thing was inappropriate... what was inappropriate about it? Lawyer Tang was forever the man I could never predict! Seeing this, Tao Dongli hurriedly said to Ji Xugang, "That was Tang Fangjing just now, wasn't it? Did you see him?" Ji Xugang touched his head puzzlingly, "Tang Fangjing? Didn't look like him to me; that clothing looks more like Little Zhang from our mediation center's, the one who's hard of hearing."
