Chapter 161: The Supreme Court Has Responded!_2
So today, as I was clicking around randomly, I suddenly froze.
"This... seems to be Lawyer Tang's case? The trial is tomorrow? Fuck, does nobody know about this?" exclaimed Ju Haiqing excitedly.
It's been almost four months, and there hasn't been any news on his account, including the last time there was such a big controversy online; he never showed up.
Old fans like Ju Haiqing were blasted last time because what he always said was: Lawyer Tang has never lost.
But he ended up losing last time, got caught in all sorts of rhythms, and because of his identity as the great god author Old Ju, he even got tagged and sprayed at for quite a while.
At that time, Old Ju thought that after Tang Fangjing lost the case, he just vanished... He even sent a message to ask around.
So, Lawyer Tang has been in Hanxi Province for so long!
After some thought, Old Ju took out his phone, ready to give Tang Fangjing a call, to ask about his situation and if it's possible to hype up this live-streamed trial.
In Xiping City, Old Tang had just received his takeout, tipped the delivery guy braving the rain a little extra, turning the originally numb-faced delivery guy's mood into a smile.
He was about to share some with his neighbor Wang Qingqing when his phone rang. Looking at it, it was Ju Haiqing calling.
Why is this guy calling me? Was he cyberbullied again?
With skepticism, he answered the phone, "Hello, Old Ju, what's up? Is something wrong?"
"Lawyer Tang, are you in good health? I came across something; you have a trial in Xiping City tomorrow, right? It seems like the court's live streaming site is going to broadcast it..."
Ju Haiqing briefly explained the situation and then asked, "So Lawyer Tang, do you think I could share this case..."
What Ju Haiqing really wanted to know was whether this case would likely be won; if there was a high chance of losing, he'd definitely have to hold back on sharing it.
And for Tang Fangjing, it was quite surprising that the court's live streaming site would broadcast this case.
After all, live streaming such a trial would be like rubbing the platform company's face on the ground.
But on second thought, the court's live streaming site was set up by the Supreme Court, so the platform company's face may not count for much.
After considering for a moment, Old Tang spoke up, "Old Ju, sharing it is definitely not an issue; this case is essentially the culmination of all my work during this period." Stay updated through empire
"I'll share it on my end as well."
Ju Haiqing was overjoyed upon hearing this; he had thought that Lawyer Tang's consecutive failures represented real defeat, but now it seemed obvious there was more to the story.
I knew it, Lawyer Tang couldn't possibly lose!
The two exchanged a few more words and then hung up. Old Tang started composing a message.
Before long, many of Tang Fangjing's followers suddenly realized he had updated his status!
They clicked in eagerly to see that the update contained just one sentence.
"Tomorrow's case will be broadcast live on the Court's live streaming website, thanks to Xiao Ting @Court's live streaming website."
A simple sentence, accompanied by a link. If it were any other lawyer, no one would bother checking, but Tang Fangjing was different.
Not only is he a countable internet-famous figure but it's also been four months since his last status update!
"The shady path you believe in": Fuck, fuck, fuck, Lawyer Tang is still around? Ahem, that sounds a bit off, but anyway, why are you still in Hanxi?
"Wind in the dense forest": Still in Hanxi obviously means losing, don't tell me anyone actually thinks Tang Fangjing could keep winning forever? As far as I know, he's already lost a few times again.
"Old Mocha Puff": Above, you think you know it all, no one mentioned winning or losing, what are you even talking about.
Old Tang's status update not only exploded his audience out but also blasted out many enemies.
People really had been holding back for a long time, finally catching an opportunity, and a unbeatable one at that, they were ready to let loose, but then the other party disappeared online.
If you want to curse someone out, but the subject of the curse is gone, what's the point of cursing?
Now that Tang Fangjing had finally reappeared, they obviously had to discuss the matter of his undefeated golden body being broken.
In Jingzhou, at a law firm, Wang Dengfeng was busily operating his phone in the office. He's the apprentice who was scolded away by Old Han and has since switched to a new law firm, making a bit of a name for himself.
"Wind in the dense forest" online is him.
The reason he's so sensitive to Tang Fangjing losing a case is partly because he was driven away by Old Han, and partly because he thinks that Tang Fangjing has too many brainless fans online, always saying Lawyer Tang has never lost a case.
Never losing only proves that you've chosen your cases well; it doesn't really prove anything else.
And now, look, you also lost a case, so you must seize the opportunity to speak your mind.
He was just curious; his former teacher Han Chengli hated Tang Fangjing so much, yet this time he didn't make any statements, which was odd.
Could it still be turned around?
In lawsuits, losing means losing, and for such a long time, he hadn't heard about the other party filing a lawsuit.
"Wind in the dense forest" @Rem Wife, @I Like To Mess With Colors, brainless fans, come out and talk, weren't you pretty good at talking last time? Helping to share and all?
"Meaning if you win this case, it proves that losing the previous one doesn't count? Keep on washing, I'm waiting right here, I really want to see how you'll wash this.
"Or let me teach you; just say that those previous cases were intentionally lost, then it would be perfect, right? If that's the case, I surely have nothing to say, and Tang Fangjing's golden body remains unbeaten."
