What's wrong with this lawyer?!

After chatting with Zhang Wei for a bit, it was Li Weilong's turn, the passionate youth who once had the ambition to compete with Old Tang. Now, entering Old Tang's office, he was the epitome of politeness and respect. There was no helping it, as the sentence he bragged about the most when he went out was "When Director Tang was interviewing, I was also there; we came in together!" What is called seniority? This is it. With such a statement, who in Tengda wouldn't show him respect? Moreover, several years' time is enough to smooth out a person's edges; the fearlessness and boldness of someone fresh into society would eventually be worn down by the trivialities of daily life. Li Weilong was getting married, now burdened with a mortgage, and under a lot of pressure, so he had to be respectful towards Old Tang. After finishing the round of conversations, Old Tang walked up to the window of his office, looking out at the street. It hadn't changed at all in the past few years, but for some reason, there was a sense of time swiftly passing by. Given his current situation, as long as he kept completing tasks, he could keep living, but he didn't know what the future might hold. Shaking his head, he decided not to think about it anymore. The focus should be on the present. If things kept going as they were, there might come a day when even he, Tang Fangjing, could be taken down, his head gone and beyond the help of any life-saving protection. When Old Tang returned to Tengda Law Firm, it seemed like the firm suddenly had its backbone again, especially the newcomers who had only heard of Old Tang but never seen him in person. Now that he was actually here, they certainly had to meet him properly. By the evening, Old Wang had booked out the restaurant opposite Tengda for a night of pure revelry! The high-end hotels couldn't provide a good meal or drinks. Everyone was a commoner, so it was better to just use a street-side restaurant. Except for Old Tang, everyone was drinking. Old Wang had too much to drink and was whispering complaints to Old Song, suggesting that maybe Tengda Law Firm should just be renamed to Fangjing Law Firm. No sooner had he spoken than a voice arose beside him, "Is that what you think, Old Wang? I suppose it's not impossible..." Then he turned his head to see Old Tang standing there... The utter jubilation finally allowed Old Tang's tightly wound heart to relax. Many things hadn't come to light, but he was more aware than anyone else that once a case reached a certain extent, it essentially turned into a life-or-death struggle. The retaliation from the other side sometimes wasn't just limited to physical elimination; there were also many other low-pitched tactics at play. Anyway, just one slip-up would be enough to ruin both one's reputation and life. There was no choice, Tang Fangjing was now seen by everyone as flawless, so as such a person, he couldn't have any moral defects! The best way to frame a man was to aim below the belt. As long as a woman was willing to throw caution to the wind, framing someone could be quite easy. Luckily, Tang having lived through two lives and having various skills granted by the system, remained cautious and vigilant, which allowed him to safely get through those months. Tengda was now his home, and one of the basic functions of a home is safety. After the revelry, Old Tang's life entered a peaceful phase. The skill to repair surveillance was incredible, but he had no intention of using it for the time being. It was quite nice to live a calm life for a while. His current task was to turn all the events from the previous period into videos. There were many things that could not be videotaped and could only be exposed through voiceover and publicly available materials. There was a lot to do, so it would take a long time, and Old Tang now had nothing but time. Meanwhile, in Lincheng City's Jinhe District, Ji Xugang was also enjoying his days comfortably, as it was truly no easy feat to make someone like Tang Fangjing agree to mediation. This case was initially about the higher-ups passing the buck, and Director Zhang never thought it could be resolved. Yet, unexpectedly, Ji Xugang actually managed it. Ji Xugang was already considered the best mediator, and now he had even more swagger at the mediation center. It was just that he had previously boasted to his wife and daughter that he could take a photo with Lawyer Tang and even get his autograph as well. But time passed, and he never dared to ask... It can't be helped, one always becomes hesitant around their idols. His daughter was skeptical, for everyone knew Tang Fangjing rarely took photos, much less posed for pictures or gave autographs. So today, Ji Xugang decided to give Old Tang a call. A father could not afford to lose face in front of his daughter. With trepidation, he dialed the number and soon a familiar voice answered, "Hello, this is Tang Fangjing from Tengda Law Firm, may I ask who is calling?" "Lawyer Tang, it's me... I am that...," Ji Xugang's voice trembled, quite different from his usual eloquent mediator persona. However, before he could finish, he heard, "Hey, your voice sounds so familiar. Aren't you the mediator from Jinhe District Court, Ji Xugang?" This time, it was Ji Xugang's turn to be surprised, "Lawyer Tang, it's me. You still remember me after all this time." Back at Tengda, Old Tang chuckled, "Of course, I remember. After all these years, I've never encountered a mediator like you; how could I possibly forget?" Indeed, he had never seen anyone like that in either of his lives. Later, he learned from Tao Dongli that this mediator had used the same trick on the intermediate court. Typically, the intermediate court and the grassroots courts were supposed to be on the same side, yet this mediator pointed the gun directly at the intermediate court. He didn't give them a single call and this call was, in fact, the first one between the two after that day's mediation was done...
