What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 163: Looking for Trouble? I Love It!



"What? He's not only still alive but has also become a well-known top lawyer in the country? And a big internet celebrity?" Ye Ping'an exclaimed as he looked at his phone.

Four years, it's only been four years, why does it feel like I've traveled through time.

I remember that before I went in, he was just somewhat famous in Jingzhou, and more importantly, he was in the late stages of cancer, looking like he had only a few days left to live.

Ye Ping'an actually remembered that correctly. Old Tang didn't have Pain Shielding back then, so you could say he was practically living on painkillers day to day.

But painkillers don't mean you're completely pain-free, just relatively less so. When the effects wore off at night, they could still wake him up from the pain, leaving him sleepless all night long.

In such a state, he naturally didn't look well, seeming like he might go at any moment.

But over these years, it was Ye Ping'an himself who felt his health deteriorating, while Tang Fangjing was still jumping around, more famous than ever!

This was something he couldn't accept, especially when looking at his own home now, a small rental compared to the large villa he used to have.

He wanted revenge. If before it was just talk, now he truly wanted to...

He'd sat in prison for four years, and now he had nothing, his child was affected, yet the person who put him there was wealthy and famous. This contrast was just too much for him to bear.

Ye Ping'an sat on the bed with a twisted expression, hesitating...

His wife kept persuading him, telling him to stop thinking about these things.

"Old Ye, stop it. You saw it yourself, that Tang Fangjing is a madman. Someone tried to kill him with a dump truck before, and yet there he is, still the same as ever."

"Really, stop thinking about it, let's just live our lives..."

Under his wife's constant persuasion, Ye Ping'an's twisted face gradually eased, and he nodded with a hoarse voice, "Okay, let's focus on living our lives first..."

Inside, you just follow the routine to earn money, but once out, you have to consider what to do. Returning to his former company was definitely out of the question, and they wouldn't have him back anyway.

Ye Ping'an changed his clothes and started looking for work.

Meanwhile, on People's Road in the Bright District, Tengda Law Firm was still bustling with people.

Because of Tang Fangjing's fame, most people who came to Tengda seeking legal representation had rather troublesome cases, mostly criminal or cases involving government departments.

Like forced demolitions, incomplete buildings, or someone who ended up arrested under the charge of picking quarrels and provoking trouble.

Few local lawyers would dare to take on these types of cases because a slight misstep in the first two could land one with the same fate as the opposition.

A famous lawyer once said, if you're a lawyer, do not be a criminal defense lawyer; and if you are a criminal defense lawyer, never investigate or collect evidence.

Why? Because lawyers don't have investigative authority; frankly, you can only pick at the flaws in a case built by others. You as a lawyer don't have the right to cook the dish.

So sometimes, even when criminal defense lawyers spot certain issues, all they can do is report them upward, and what results that yields is anybody's guess.

Old Tang's last proactive investigation was, in reality, playing a dangerous game, skating very close to the edge!

Not to mention, criminal defense lawyers face the quadruple pressures from prosecution, judiciary, law enforcement, and the victim's family. As a result, the group of defense attorneys started to slack off, turning into a second prosecutor...

Old Tang was well aware of all this, so he was now preparing for this year's lawyers' convention.

He wouldn't say things like "I disdain to be an official" or anything like that. Everyone is rolling in the mud together in this mundane world; why put on any pretenses?

On the other hand, if he became the head of the lawyers' association, maybe he could withstand some pressure on certain issues.

In the office's massage chair, Old Tang had once again settled himself comfortably, with Wang Qingqing helping massage his head and chatting away, the epitome of contentment.

Old Wang almost popped his eyeballs out as he passed by.

Was this really the same niece who did nothing at home? Was she really at this stage now?

Considering the pile of materials in his own hands and that he had been so busy since morning he hadn't had a sip of water, Old Wang felt it was hugely unfair!

He knocked and entered, coughing as he said, "Uh, Old Tang, doing this during working hours, isn't it a bit inappropriate? Enjoy new tales from empire

Everyone's watching outside. Could it... look bad?"

Old Tang, not even opening his eyes, said, "Ah? In that case, Old Wang, just close the door when you go out, that'll be fine. If the door is closed, they can't see, and if they can't see, it won't look bad, will it?"

Old Wang: "???" This logic seems flawless.

It's a bit like not being able to solve the problem, so you get rid of the person raising the issue.

"Old Tang, mainly because you're now a partner at our law firm, you should be more careful. I've been busy since this morning and haven't even had time for water," Old Wang continued.

Finally, Old Tang opened his eyes: "That can't be helped. Look, Old Wang, aren't you the director of our law firm? Many things require the director's involvement. As a partner, I don't have that authority.

"Now I have nothing to do, and if I did your work, I'd become the director, right? So, Director Wang, there's nothing to be done.

"I'm just taking a break; in a bit, I'll go to do consultations."
