I remember a novel from a past life where the protagonist's account gets stol right at the beginning, and every oppont they counter during mediations is an idiot who flares up over nothing—what a crappy book.
In mediations, you either agree or you don't, that's how straightforward Old Tang is!
Having a system and still having to beat a the bush with you, would make the system redundant.
So no matter what your attitude is, mine is crystal clear, I refuse. What am I after? I'm after making your kids pay for it.
Let's be frank and talk oply.
If everyone could still pretd they didn't hear what I just said before, what I'm saying now is crystal clear.
It's so straightforward they don't ev know how to respond.
Zhao Dehan hemmed and hawed for a long time without being able to say a thing, because he had indeed se just how tough Lawyer Tang could be.
Before they knew it, they were being pinned to the g with an arm behind their backs.
The others didn't know what to say either, but just th, someone suddly shouted from inside the mediation room, "Don't push people too far! Do you think you're untouchable?"
Who's this? Didn't we just agree that no matter what, we shouldn't get angry? Didn't we say that Tang Fangjing is an expert at provoking anger and we must restrain ourselves?
But turning to look, the one who lost their cool was that so-called savvy part...
Talk is cheap—this savvy part couldn't hold back after seeing Tang Fangjing's attitude.
Old Tang looked at the furious man opposite him, th at everyone else, with a professional smile on his face, "Hey, no need to get so worked up, I'm a very reasonable person, really."
"What's this about losing my temper? I'm just a mtally disturbed orphan lawyer with not many days left to live. Why are you picking fights with me..."
"Mediations should be agreed upon by both parties, but right now, I simply disagree because what? Because I don't like the look of your kid, get it?"
Aunt Yin was at a loss for words. At that momt, she truly felt that Tang Fangjing might have some screws loose in his head.
Claiming to be the most reasonable person—everything he said before made sse, but th the reason turned out to be disliking the look of their kid... Is this something a mature lawyer would say?
"Alright, don't blame Liu Jianguo, because truth be told, I'm the one who wants to fight this case. I'll handle the lawsuit for free and advance the litigation costs. If you have any complaints, remember, there's a specific target for grievances. Make sure you're looking in the right place."
"Don't know where? Tgda Law Firm, the first office as you come in. If you have an issue, come straight to me, I'm always op to visitors."
"Aunt, I'm going to head out now. Sorry to have caused you such trouble today, making you come all this way."
After saying that, Tang Fangjing turned and left with a flourish, leaving the studts and parts to look at each other in bewildermt.
"I told you he's crazy, but you wouldn't believe me. Look now, what normal person talks like that? 'The debt has a debtor, the grievance a target'—is he inviting us to come knocking on his door, looking for trouble? He's definitely crazy!" Zhao Dehan stood up and yelled.
The kids a finally realized the problem. They had thought that as long as their parts paid, everything would be fine. But the other party didn't ev want to discuss money and flat-out refused.
The savvy part sat down with a blank expression. He prided himself on knowing a lot, but at this momt, he truly didn't know what to do; all his strategies were for dealing with sane people.
But what if the other person's clearly not sane? What do you do th?
Hire a hitman? Intimidate with a construction truck? Or go and start a fight at their door?
Such thoughts just couldn't materialize. Just a momt ago, they thought about scaring the other party, but the guy made it clear he would welcome retaliation.
What to do? There really wasn't a single solution.
They turned to look at Aunt Yin, who shook her head and said, "You all heard it. Under these circumstances, there's nothing I can do. It's not possible to force a mediation."
Old Tang returned to the law firm, but he clearly underestimated these parts' determination.
The other party had come to the law firm with their child, kneeling and begging the firm's leaders to speak up on their behalf, and some ev brandished a knife in an attempt to intimidate me.
It so happed that I had nothing else to do during the days waiting for the trial, and it was just as well to joy the Western scery every day.
It's up to you to come, I won't be persuaded by words or money, and if you want to use force, I am ready to accompany you. It's that simple!
However, unfortunately, after waiting many days, in the d, no one dared to actually cross swords with me. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Oh, how I miss Presidt Lei...
And now, today, the private prosecution case is finally going to court.
Inside the criminal court of Guangming District Court, Wang Xiangnan looks at the dossier in front of him, the smile having already shifted from his face.
How come this case just so happed to land on me, an unsolved case involving five minors; what's going on with these people!?
But no matter how much I complain, the trial still has to proceed.
Tang Fangjing sat in the agt's seat, looking at the parts sitting across with a full-faced professional smile.
The lawyer they hired was someone I hadn't se before, but it didn't matter. With solid evidce, a lawyer is no differt from walking a dog.
Right, I was talking about myself…
The trial process was indeed as Old Tang had predicted, the evidce collected by the police was too conclusive, and not a single surveillance camera was coincidtally out of order.
The defse could only argue that the selected places were rather secluded, not public places, so the reputational damage to the complainant wasn't particularly severe.
Yes, the crime of insult infringes on the legal interest of one's reputation just like defamation.
However, Old Tang quickly refuted this defse argumt. With you all ganging up together, what does it matter if the location is secluded, the reputation had already be grotesquely violated.
Since there were five people involved, some charges were more serious than others, and in this respect, the opposing lawyer was still able to make a few remarks.
The trial concluded but without a stce being passed; Old Tang wt back to his usual routine of legal consulting and teaching trainee lawyers. Three days later, the court reconved, and finally, a stce was issued.
"The accused, Zhao Lingling, is convicted of the crime of insult and stced to six months in prison!"
No probation was applied, because Zhao Lingling played a leading role in the school bullying, with many of the incidts being initiated by her and Li Zixin.
In the specific acts of bullying, she was the most active, striking others without hesitation.
Hearing this stce, Zhao Dehan's face showed immse pain. His daughter was only sixte years old. Was she really going to prison?
Another boy was not stced because the court found that he was involved in the case of forced indeccy during its review.
Therefore, the court decided to transfer the materials to the prosecutor's office for them to initiate a public prosecution, refile, and make a judgmt.
The very understanding part turned pale; he would have preferred his son to be stced right th and there.
The remaining three girls were stced to probation and dettion with a suspded stce, respectively, but they also carried the burd of a criminal record.
And in Jingzhou, applying for civil service jobs was likewise popular, but most importantly, with a criminal record, one would be ineligible for certain jobs requiring a clean criminal record.
Zhao Dehan watched Tang Fangjing hum a tune as he left the courthouse, his fingernails almost digging into his own flesh.
He couldn't understand why there were people like Tang Fangjing in the world, why he would gage in such thankless tasks, was it simply because he found Zhao's child disagreeable?
He must appeal. Otherwise, once the judgmt came into effect, his child would have to serve her stce in prison.
But how, Zhao Dehan had no clue; for a momt, he truly wanted to have a go at that man surnamed Tang…
