What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 142: Attorney Zhang Still Cooperates Well_3



Old Tang, with a professional smile plastered across his face, began to pack up his things, an expected choice; now it was the other side's turn to fret.

Netizens were not satisfied with the livestream of the court hearing, "You end the stream without even providing a verdict, what's the point!"

But there's nothing to be done about it; that's just how court hearings are. When new developments arise, you have to give people time to prepare what to do next and look for any additional evidence.

Not everyone can be quick-witted; we must ensure the rights of both parties in the lawsuit.

Zhang Wei sat on the plaintiffs' side, his face darkening, while beside him, President Liu's face was even grimmer.

He had never imagined that the contract he had rushed to retrieve, almost getting into a car accident, would become evidence for the opposition!

This made him so angry he wanted to vomit blood, even considering getting into a fight with Zhang Wei next to him!

As the Judgment Chief stood up to leave, President Liu could no longer hold back and said, "Zhang Wei, impressive job there, is this how you do legal work? You didn't even see the trap they set?"

Zhang Wei didn't speak; he knew he was at fault. Logically speaking, they should have won the case easily; with such ample evidence, how could they not!

But he had screwed it up. He wanted to impress his goddess, but instead, he ended up exposing his rear end, complete with red underwear... Your next chapter awaits on empire

However, with Zhang Wei silent, President Liu's voice grew louder.

"Even the evidence was delivered by us, impressive job, Zhang Wei. And to think you claimed to have been a lawyer—is your license a fake? Couldn't you see something this basic? You call yourself a professional, professional my ass. If we lose the case, you'd better pack your things and get out!"

Zhang Wei couldn't hold back any longer. So what if he was a lawyer? Lawyers can be newbies too, and indeed, Zhang Wei hadn't spotted the problem. Plenty of lawyers online hadn't seen it either!

"I might not be professional, but I'm more professional than you. You think you can hire decent legal aid with that pittance you pay? What kind of salary is that, only enough to hire someone like me, don't you get it!"

"If you think I'm incompetent, fine, fire me and see what kind of legal aid that money gets you. You want me to leave; I won't!"

"There are tons of awesome lawyers out there; why don't you hire them? Oh right, you want to save money. I'm cheap, and that's all the expertise you get!"

Thinking you can buy prime services with the money for cabbage, how ridiculous! Lawyers are like anything else—you get what you pay for, and there's a reason the good ones are costly.

President Liu was dumbstruck by this meltdown.

"When I beat myself up like this, you've got nothing left to say, right? I admit I'm a newbie, but that's all the money you've got can hire, so who's to blame?"

The plaintiff's side started arguing, getting quite heated, sparking renewed interest in the viewers who had been about to leave the livestream.

"Hurry, start fighting! I'm curious to see what will happen if the plaintiff loses. Haha, they delivered evidence right into the other party's hands."

"Director, what are you doing? Get filming, quick! Do it or you can kiss your chicken drumstick goodbye for lunch!"

Then, the court livestream was cut off. They couldn't just broadcast a courtroom brawl.

The two men's argument grew fiercer, even looking like they might come to blows. Clerks and clerks' assistants stepped up to calm them down, but it was no use—they were both furious.

Old Zhou was ready to call the bailiffs, but not every courtroom has bailiffs on standby, as they're generally needed for criminal cases.

After all, there are only so many bailiffs to go around.

Meanwhile, Old Tang finished packing up, slung his briefcase over his shoulder, and prepared to leave. As he walked past the arguing men, he said:

"Miss Xiao Yan, do you know why people always end up arguing or even fighting after court sessions?"

Miss Xiao Yan shook her head, indicating she didn't know.

"Well, of course, because they want to pass the buck; can't you see that!"

Old Tang's voice was loud enough that the quarreling men could hear clearly, causing them to suddenly shut their mouths.

However, Old Tang didn't stop talking, "Miss Xiao Yan, why on earth would anyone hand over evidence to the opponent? Even novelists wouldn't dare write such a plot, right?"

Miss Xiao Yan nodded earnestly, "Right, any author bold enough to write that would get torn apart by the readers, tsk tsk tsk."

Zhang Wei and President Liu: "..."

They felt as if they were choking on a mouthful of bitter resentment. It's one thing to be killed, quite another to have one's heart stabbed as well. Why on earth did people like Tang Fangjing exist in this world!

Seeing Tang Fangjing about to leave, Zhang Wei couldn't help himself and blurted out, "Tang Fangjing, did you just have to throw in that taunt? Will you be satisfied if I admit you're great, alright?"

Old Tang stopped in his tracks, turned back with a smile, "Oh no, not at all. I'm not great; it was the cooperation of Lawyer Zhang that was exemplary."

No mistake there; without your cooperation, I would never have had it so easy. I couldn't have gotten my hands on those contracts otherwise.

Zhang Wei looked heavenward, deciding it was better not to engage with this Tang person; his mouth was just too deadly.

Back in her apartment complex, Hu Jia stared blankly at the now-offline court livestream, with netizens continuously tagging her to come out and take a stroll.

But she genuinely didn't know what to say. Tang Fangjing had turned the case around using such an inconceivable approach, making the plaintiff deliver the evidence into his hands...

After pondering for a moment, Hu Jia still posted under her account "Victorious Aspiration" online, "What's the hurry, isn't the verdict still out? Are you all judges now?"

No matter what, she definitely couldn't admit she was wrong.
