What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Tang, Lawyer Tang, is it really 1.7 million? Are those people like Ding Deshui really willing to give that much?" After being stunned, Huang Licheng hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's true. Their situation is a bit unusual, so they're offering a bit more money. What do you say, do you agree?" Old Tang chuckled over the phone.

"I agree, I definitely agree, Lawyer Tang! 1.7 million... I... I never thought I could get that much." At this point, Huang Licheng was so excited he felt as if he was floating.

It was truly a case of 'exhausted means lead one to believe there's no way out, only to find another village amidst the dark willows and bright flowers.' I originally thought this time I was at a dead end, but then Lawyer Tang turned around and gave me a huge surprise!

Although Lawyer Tang had said before that if the other party was willing to pay more, we could settle, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, let alone for so much! Your adventure continues at My Virtual Library Empire

However, after the initial shock, Huang Licheng immediately said, "Lawyer Tang, why don't you deduct your legal fees from this amount? Otherwise, given how much you've helped me..."

Before, I couldn't afford a lawyer, but now that I have money, Huang Licheng naturally thought of properly repaying Lawyer Tang.

However, upon hearing this, Old Tang immediately said, "Lao Huang, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to get me in trouble? Your case is a legal aid case, and the state has already paid for you. Now, if you give me legal fees again and the Lawyers Association finds out, they might revoke my license."

Huang Licheng hastily said, "No, Lawyer Tang, I just wanted to show my gratitude..."

"No need, let's put it this way, if I took your money after winning the lawsuit, what would that make me? That would be contingency representation, and criminal cases absolutely cannot have contingency representation. Alright, that's it for now, I'll be heading to Changlu County in the next day or two, so have your bank card ready."

Once everything was settled, Old Tang hung up the phone. Overall, the case went fairly smoothly, anyway, he didn't believe that Ding Deshui would be able to get bail merely with a letter of understanding.

Meanwhile, Huang Licheng's son and wife watched with eyes wide open as Huang Licheng returned with a smile brimming on his face, leaving them somewhat puzzled.

Soon after, Huang Licheng shared the news with them.

"So, Dad, you're saying we're about to get 1.7 million soon?"

"Yes, that's the amount. That Lawyer Tang... he's truly a miracle worker!"

Words could no longer describe Tang Fangjing; in Huang Licheng's eyes, Tang Fangjing was a deity, accomplishing feats that a common man like himself wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Reflecting on when he initially went to Jingzhou to file the complaint, the most he had hoped for was that Ding Deshui might compensate a little, maybe ten or twenty thousand yuan. He never expected to meet Lawyer Tang, get rid of the record, and receive a fortune!

The son by his side felt the same sense of awe, deciding that if he ever had children, he would have them study law!

...

The next day came, and Old Tang left to take the high-speed train towards Lincheng to sign the settlement agreement and issue a letter of understanding with the Ding family.

In the detention center of Lincheng, a scream shattered the silence as Ding Deshui, drenched in sweat and pale-faced, was rushed to the medical room of the detention center.

After the examination, the medical room insisted he be sent to the hospital immediately; Ding Deshui's condition was severe.

On the other hand, Ding Deshui's son, Ding Yongqiang, was on his way home, oblivious to the fact that Ding Deshui had been implicated in a criminal case; he was absorbed in the joy of passing the public service examination.

After five attempts, he had finally succeeded, and the young man's face was filled with aspirations.

The medical examination had ended too; next came the political review and investigation, which were simply procedures hardly anyone failed. Everything seemed so perfect.

On the other hand, the high court remained silent as if those thirty-one cases didn't exist, while Wen Weilin's face was as pale as death, as his personal information had appeared online!
