Old Lu didn't say anything more. In fact, it's quite normal for police handling a case to contact both parties to facilitate a settlement; it's quite necessary in the criminal litigation process.
However, this time the contact wasn't with the parties themselves, but with the lawyer of another case of one of the parties, which was a bit strange.
But no matter what, Old Lu now had a very good impression of Lawyer Tang; the man was really easy to talk to, and many of the persuasive points he had prepared weren't even needed.
Time quickly reached the afternoon, and Old Tang made his way to the Guanning Sub-bureau.
"You must be Lawyer Tang, hello, hello, I am the case officer Lu Jun."
Old Tang stepped forward with a smile and extended his hand: "Officer Lu, hello. We've been in contact many times, but this is the first time we meet."
Old Lu also smiled, leading Tang Fangjing to an office: "Lawyer Shang, Lawyer Tang is here. You guys can talk it out; I have some matters to attend to upstairs."
Shang Qicheng, Ma Jingying, and several other teachers' family members in the office quickly stood up.
"Alright, Officer Lu, go ahead with your work, please do."
After speaking, Shang Qicheng turned to look at Tang Fangjing at the door. His first impression was that Tang seemed very normal, not as crazy as described online.
"Lawyer Tang, we're finally meeting you, please come in and have a seat." Ma Jingying was the first to speak up.
Old Tang sat down and then said, "Just speak directly about whatever matter you have; I'm quite busy at the moment."
"Well, Lawyer Tang..." Shang Qicheng quickly explained the situation with Cheng Nanyan's side.
"So now we want to ask you to help convince them, the compensation can be well discussed."
Ma Jingying also spoke up: "Yes, Lawyer Tang, my husband indeed... indeed made some mistakes, but he didn't cause any major problems, right?"
"Exactly, Lawyer Tang, my husband's situation is even more unjust; he just led the team here for an internship. I mean... Lawyer Tang, please help us." Liu Jinshi's wife, Lu Yanzhen, likewise pleaded.
"Oh, is that it? Then have you all finished talking?" Old Tang asked.
The few people in the office exchanged glances. What did this mean?
"If you're done, then I will leave. I'm quite busy with other things." Old Tang stood up and decisively headed for the door.
Seeing this, Lu Yanzhen immediately grew anxious.
"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, don't go! Did we offend you somehow?" She spoke while trying to step forward to block him.
Ma Jingying also called out, "Yes, Lawyer Tang, we haven't offended you, and you agreed to meet with us."
"You haven't offended me, but I despise those school people, and I want them to go to jail, any problem with that? Plus, I agreed to meet you for Officer Lu, and haven't I already met you?"
"And you, your husband is the resident teacher at the factory, right? Do you think the money he earns is clean? Commit fewer conscienceless acts!"
"Also, thinking of forcing me? First, look at where we are." Old Tang spoke unhurriedly.
I wasn't planning on meeting you, but since you're so eager to seek me out, then let's have it out face to face. If you want to get physical, go ahead and try.
Everyone in the office was stunned by his words, none of them expecting him to be so direct, and momentarily they didn't know what to say.
"Tang Fangjing, you really want to go against our school, don't you?" Ma Jingying shouted.
"Yes, what are you going to do about it?"
Seeing that no one else had anything to say, Old Tang left. He had already planned to experience the night snacks of Dongfang City today and had no time to waste arguing with them.
"Damn it, damn it, this Tang Fangjing is insane, right? What the hell is he after?" Ma Jingying couldn't control her emotions and started cursing.
As a businesswoman like her, what she valued most was making money peacefully; everything could be discussed.
Even if they couldn't come to an agreement, that was just that; she had never seen someone like Tang Fangjing who offends people so blatantly. Doesn't he know that in this day and age, more friends means more paths? For original chapters go to novᴇlfire.net
"He's not afraid of us..." Lu Yanzhen also cried out.
Shang Qicheng smiled bitterly without having a chance to speak: "He faces danger in Jingzhou, knives to his belly didn't scare him, nearly getting killed by dump trucks didn't either, so what do you think..."
Some may just be talking big, but he truly isn't afraid, a pure madman.
So what do we do now, are we really going to seek revenge?
While Old Tang set off to explore the night snacks of Dongfang City, at the factory where Zhao Bin had previously worked, the labor arbitration committee staff had already retrieved the relevant evidence.
The finance department handed it over without resistance, not daring to directly oppose the labor department without any reason.
Similarly, at Chenlin Employment Agency, the boss Bai Chenlin, looking at the labor arbitration notice and a copy of the labor arbitration application in his hands, was utterly dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Isn't it just a deduction of twenty-three hundred? Where did this more than ten thousand come from?"
The director in front of him, Qian Yehui, was equally puzzled: "I don't know either, Boss Bai, the deductions for their batch were determined by you, you know that."
"That's exactly why I don't understand. This is nonsense, they're also claiming we're a labor dispatch company, but we haven't done any labor dispatching, we don't even have the certificate."
"The court session's the day after tomorrow, I'll go with you. Damn, we've got a real madman here, be nice at the time, just settle it through mediation, that Tang Fangjing is not easy to provoke."
Qian Yehui nodded in understanding; he had been the one to make bold statements that day. After all, their agency never cared about face as long as there was money to be made.
If the other party was tough, they would be soft, playing the odds; there's always laborers who will cave, and then they'd make money.
