After speaking, Old Tang turned and entered his office.
The property owners at the scene looked at each other, mouths agape, unsure of what to say.
Finally, someone spoke up, "Wasn't it said that Tang Fangjing is a good lawyer? Just this? Good my ass!"
"Let's go, let's go, us common folks ultimately have no one to care for us," they said as they prepared to leave. However, as soon as Old Tang had entered his office, he came back out.
"Come here, you, the property owner, hold on a second. Are you saying you have a problem with me? Would it be best if I paid you back with my own money? Am I your dad that I should take care of you?" said Old Tang.
The property owner's eyes widened in astonishment. Who would have thought that his minor griping as he was leaving would be overheard from inside the office?
The property owners didn't know what to say. Some people thought the netizens would support them. But when they logged into the live streaming room, they discovered the comments were full of cheers.
"I'm puzzled how these people have the face to seek out Lawyer Tang. They've been cursed out good. People who moral blackmail deserve to die!"
"Right you are, Lawyer Tang isn't his dad. Why should he care for him? It's not like he caused the unfinished building."
According to the netizens, this was a real person.
There was nothing to be done; they were utterly at a loss. That Tang Fangjing didn't care about his reputation at all, brazenly cursing people in front of everyone.
All they could do was drag their bodies away, like walking dead.
After all the property owners left, Old Song came over without anyone knowing when he had arrived.
"Is it worth it, doing it ?" he asked.
For just one case, he had nearly lost his life, and now he was even being criticized.
Old Tang laughed softly and said, "Worth it, of course it's worth it, Old Song. You don't know, I've already made a killing."
After finishing his sentence, he hummed a song all the way back to his office: "I am a carefree man from Wolong Ridge..."
Behind him, Old Song was utterly confused. Was earning that reputation really making a killing?
He had almost lost his life; what kind of thing could be worth more than life itself?
In the office, Old Tang completely relaxed. To be honest, he was human too and would get tired.
Because of his life expectancy, he was always on edge, which is why he felt anxious.
He also longed to live a normal life, but unfortunately, with cancer and the system, his life had ceased to be normal.
What's more, he was not even feeling quite right mentally...
The psychiatrist, although not saying it explicitly, made it clear that his system panel might just be a hoax.
But sitting in front of his desk now, looking at the panel that appeared before him, watching the thrilling movies on that panel, how very real it seemed.
How could it possibly be fake? Surely because he himself was special. Look at those online novels from former lives, those who had systems—weren't they all protagonists?
Therefore, he must be a protagonist as well... Wait a minute, those protagonists from former lives were all in books, so was he also in a book...
Thinking this, Old Tang suddenly had a tingling sensation in his scalp. So was this world also fake?
Was he just a character created by another person, living in the pages of a book?
He stepped out of his office and looked around. The water that the girl named Yan Xueling had just filled was still hot, although it did not make much of an impression on him.
Turning to look in another direction, Li Wanting had become an official lawyer. When she noticed him looking at her, she immediately smiled and said, "Tang Bro, need anything?"
That felt too real. So, how could this be a fake world?
If it was real, then did that mean there was a problem with him?
But his system was real too. So everything was real. No problems at all.
After thinking it through, Old Tang felt as if he had suddenly become much more spirited.
He wanted to do tasks again, but after checking his private messages thoroughly, he found no suitable ones.
He had no choice but to wait and take on some ordinary cases to get by.
After all, life is generally mundane. You are not the center of the world.
Thanks to his reputation, business at the law firm was booming.
Moreover, the residents of Yuefu Residential Complex were praising the homeowners' association every day, with many residential complexes in Jingzhou coming to Tengda, thinking about whether they could also establish a homeowners' association following the process.
Before taking on a case, Old Wang would evaluate it, mainly to see how the finances of the residential complex were.
If the finances were good, no question—they'd take the case.
But if the property was old and dilapidated, with management itself scraping by, then there would be no need for unnecessary complications.
On another evening close to quitting time, Old Tang, massaging his back, got up from the massage chair, sighing, "Ah, so boring. The cases at the firm are all lackluster, not a single one of high quality."
As he exited his office, he saw the other lawyers busy as bees and remarked, "Everyone's busy, that's good, stay busy."
Just then, Li Weilong, who had become an official lawyer, walked by and greeted him, "Tang Bro, everything alright? What's with your back?"
Old Tang shook his head and replied, "Ah, I just fell asleep on the massage chair, and it massaged me a bit too long. It's a little sore, but don't you mind me, keep up with your work."
Li Weilong: "...Damn that Tang Fangjing. I shouldn't have asked that." Latest content published on NoveI[F]ire.net
Meanwhile, Old Tang continued to look around. He casually picked up some files Li Wanting was working on and said, "What is this you're doing?"
"Case files, what about them, Tang Bro?" she inquired.
"This is what you call case files? Look at this, and that—it's a clear application of the wrong legal interpretation. Did you do this with your eyes closed?" he criticized.
Li Wanting: "???" What's gotten into Tang Bro?
However, when she looked up, Old Tang had already moved on.
"Yan Xueling, you've got a big problem here..."
After making a round in the office and successfully casting existential doubt on thirteen lawyers, Old Tang finally returned to his office, satiated. He didn't even know why he had done that.
