What's wrong with this lawyer?!

To be honest, even though Tang Fangjing was a seasoned veteran, he never expected that Risheng Company would turn out to be the ultimate beneficiary.

The intricate twists and turns in this were too much, but if anyone could untangle it, it'd be Tang Fangjing.

Otherwise, the cost of investigating this far would have been astronomical.

At the very least, a single lawyer wouldn't have been able to pull it off—it would've required an entire legal team.

Maybe even a specialized accounting team to assist with the investigation!

But the relationship between Risheng Company and Dekang Company... what does that indicate? Clearly, in the earlier cases, these people were just acting!

Of course, the ones showing up to court might not have known the truth, but the bosses pulling the strings in the background definitely did!

No wonder Hanxi Construction was dumping the blame, Risheng Company was dodging responsibility, and Dekang Company's representative was bickering with the other two...

Turns out, all this while Tang Fangjing had been turned into the fool!

Some people were probably laughing at him right now—what a joke. Truly, this was too amusing.

It had been ages since Tang Fangjing encountered such a challenging case!

If you want to play, let's play it right—no one leaves the table until the game is over.

Now following this train of thought, could there be any deeper connection between Dekang Company and Dezheng Company?

If Dekang Company is the puppet, then what about Dezheng Company?

After all, Dezheng Company handled the other half of this project.

So... could Liming Company in Modu also be connected?

That couldn't be confirmed yet, but one thing was certain—Dayi Company was definitely unrelated. Generally, scapegoats like them were always outsiders.

The other side must have some real experts involved—got to admit, their setup was indeed impressive.

Though it was already clear that false qualifications were involved, they still needed to file a lawsuit to secure the evidence.

Lanhe District Court: Tang Fangjing returns.

There was no other way—Hanxi Construction Group Company was registered in Lanhe District, so if they wanted to file a case, they had to go to the Lanhe District Court.

After passing through the now-familiar security check, Tang Fangjing approached the service window. The staff member at the window froze upon seeing him.

"Lawyer Tang, you... you're here again? Didn't you just file a case in Anchang District Court?" the staff quickly asked.

It's all one system—anything that happened in one district would quickly become the talk of the other.

Tang Fangjing had recently filed a lawsuit in Anchang District Court involving over three million yuan. Naturally, Lanhe District Court was well aware of it.

At that time, many people were laughing about it, especially those in the Lanhe District Court Execution Bureau, saying that Anchang District Court was in for a tough time.

Given Tang Fangjing's style, if they rendered a judgment that couldn't be executed effectively, it'd come back to haunt them.

Their earlier execution could still be managed—it was just about enforcing the right to information.

But when it came to money, that was a different story. If you couldn't find the people or the funds, even the Execution Bureau couldn't do anything.

And now, here was Tang Fangjing, back at Lanhe District Court?

The staff member couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of those remarks from the Execution Bureau... but as a professional, she managed to suppress it.

Tang Fangjing smiled cheerfully and said, "The case I filed in Anchang District hit an execution snag, so I had to come here to figure something out."

"One of the defendants has no money in their account. But the funny thing is, they just finished a project not too long ago, yet I couldn't trace any project payments in their transactions."

"So I had to come here and file a subrogation claim. Here's the complaint..."

As he spoke, Tang Fangjing handed over the documents.

Cases like this were child's play to him. His real aim wasn't about winning or losing the case.

As long as the other side showed up in court, they'd already lost.

This was a principle Tang Fangjing always adhered to—lawsuits were never the goal, just the means to an end.

With every lawsuit, win or lose, he had to achieve his purpose!

For regular cases, they only checked if the materials were complete. But with Tang Fangjing's cases, the staff scrutinized the details more carefully.

"Lawyer Tang, this case of yours feels a bit peculiar..." the staff commented after reviewing the complaint.

Tang Fangjing chuckled, "It is peculiar, but logically, there's nothing wrong with it."

"A huge amount of project payments is missing, and now that the project has been completed for quite a while, Dekang Company hasn't made any attempt to collect."

"So I, as the creditor, had no choice but to step in and help retrieve the money."

The staff nodded—it made perfect sense. She quickly replied, "Alright, I'll go ahead and accept your case filing; there shouldn't be any issue there..."

Just like before, all he could do now was wait for updates.

After Tang Fangjing left, the staff submitted the case materials for review. Once it was approved by the case filing division leadership, the case was officially registered.

It was a standard subrogation lawsuit—there was no reason to reject it.

Tang Fangjing returned to his hotel and immediately began investigating Risheng Company's equity structure.

Of course, this time he wasn't just looking into Risheng Company—Dekang Company, Dezheng Company, and Liming Company in Modu were all targets as well.

By now, Tang Fangjing had a hunch that these companies were deeply connected!

Thinking it over, it was ridiculous how many award-worthy actors there seemed to be these days. All of them claimed to be virtuous and above board, but behind the scenes, they were nothing but shameless scoundrels!

As he dug deeper, Tang Fangjing's eyes suddenly lit up—he'd found a clue!

Just as he suspected, Dekang Company and Risheng Company appeared to have no relationship on the surface, and the same went for Dezheng Company.

But the connection lay elsewhere—between Risheng Company and Liming Company in Modu!

Their "suspected actual controller" was the same person!
