What's going on now? Why does it feel like everything has changed since that incidt with Liu Yan?
Zhao Dehan didn't know that on the other side, Guan Qiaolian was truly at her wits' d—her son had be arrested, and although she had hired a good lawyer, good lawyers required money.
The court from the Bright District had st yet another summons, demanding that she return the t thousand yuan.
For a momt, Guan Qiaolian truly wanted to rush to the law firm where Tang Fangjing worked and ask him, "Do you own the court or what?"
The way Tang Fangjing acted, the "say it and do it" approach, made Guan Qiaolian, who was used to winning by making a sce, extremely uncomfortable.
She could only hope that Lawyer Zhang Wei would step up and get her son out.
Zhang Wei was indeed stepping up; he was already visiting Li Zixin.
Li Zixin was on the verge of collapse just a few days into his dettion. Although he was a minor, the dettion cter did not necessarily keep him in solitary confinemt.
Li Zixin was lucky, staying in an op dorm, sured by people who spoke very nicely.
Before this, the biggest "big brother" figures Li Zixin had countered were minor thugs in society, and it was by relying on these so-called "tough connections" that he had be so braz at school.
It's actually quite interesting how so many junior high and ev some elemtary school studts think that knowing these societal thugs is prestigious...
But now, the "big brothers" in the dettion cter were far tougher than the small-time thugs, and Li Zixin couldn't take it anymore, really couldn't.
"Get me out of here, I'm going to die. I'll definitely die if I stay any longer, please get me out of here," Li Zixin cried bitterly.
"I know I was wrong, ok? I'll apologize and kowtow to them, just don't let me stay here anymore..."
Here, he couldn't act recklessly, as he would really get beat up…
Zhang Wei had to console him for a long time to somewhat stabilize Li Zixin's emotions.
"All right, what has the public security bureau asked you these past few days?" Zhang Wei decided to initiate the conversation this way.
However, Li Zixin gave him a big surprise.
"They were asking how many people I had demanded money from, I said about a doz or so."
Zhang Wei: "???" Does this mean there has also be a robbery?
He wanted to quit. He really didn't want to be a lawyer anymore. It was exhausting.
In the mediation room of the Bright District People's Court, Zhao Dehan and other studts' relatives had arrived early, and they had brought their childr along too.
Today was the day to mediate with Tang Fangjing under the auspices of the court, and Zhao Dehan and the others were basically prepared to pay up.
"I've talked to everyone in the past two days. Based on what everyone has said, I think we've got a good understanding of Tang Fangjing, so remember during today's mediation, don't speak out of line!"
"Don't say things like the other side is only doing this for money, okay? Definitely don't say that, we're the ones asking for a favor here, we need to be in the right mindset!"
"Also, don't get provoked by the other side easily. I've carefully analyzed Tang Fangjing's language; he's very good at angering the other side. Remember, he is just a proxy; he's looking for a lawsuit, do you understand?"
A knowledgeable part kept instructing.
His son was the other boy who had torn Liu Yan's clothes last time. Luckily, he had managed to run away wh Liu Yan brandished the knife, so he didn't d up in the hospital.
The other parts nodded incessantly; they were here to swallow their pride and sincerely apologize.
The room was buzzing with discussion wh the door to the mediation room oped, and Mediator Sister Yin walked in.
"Talking amongst yourselves? Oh, Lawyer Tang hasn't arrived yet?" Sister Yin looked a and asked. Discover more novels at novel[f]ire.net
Right after she asked, a figure appeared at the door. "I came early, waiting outside for you to arrive."
Everyone turned to look, and there was Tang Fangjing, tall and pale.
Sister Yin curiously asked, "Waiting for me? For what?"
Old Tang cheerfully responded, "Waiting for you is just to let you know I've arrived. After all, this mediation is hosted by your court. If I don't show up, that would be disrespectful, and we can't have that."
"Look at you, coming here... Ah?" Sister Yin suddly seemed to have realized something.
"Right, I just came to say, let's not go through with the mediation. We're not accepting any conditions for a settlemt. Do you all understand now?"
He had overheard some of a part's words while he was outside just now, but why would he agree to a settlemt just because you're behaving nicely?
He had already discussed with Old Liu before, they would not agree to any conditions no matter what!
The goal was just one, to have these unruly youngsters spd some time to study properly behind bars, to prevt them from committing more serious future offses. This was for their own good. None of them knew gratitude, hmph!
The studts and parts sitting inside were stunned; they had not expected Tang Fangjing to be so straightforward.
The knowledgeable part stood up with a smile and said, "Lawyer Tang, come on in. Whatever we have to discuss, we can talk about it slowly. Any conditions can be put on the table, right..."
"Right, Lawyer Tang... Look, we've brought our childr along today. Come on Lingling, call him Uncle Tang." Zhao Dehan hurriedly interjected.
He was truly feeling aggrieved now, but he had no choice—it was for the sake of his child.
Next to him, Zhao Lingling promptly called out "Uncle," not wanting to go to the police station ever again.
Seeing that the other studts were about to call out "Uncle" as well, Tang Fangjing quickly interjected, "Stop it, all of you, it seems you hav't understood what I meant."
"What I mean is actually quite simple. I just want your kids to spd some time inside. I want to exact revge on them. That should make it clear now, right?"
