Chapter 1024 -331: 1 O’Clock Legal Popularization Work_3
They never expected Tang Fangjing to use such a method to break the deadlock!
“Forget all the nonsense, let’s get straight to the point. You’re saying you’re out of money, right? Fine, I’ll put up the money myself. Now you have nothing left to say, do you?”
“Since you have nothing to say, it’s my turn to speak!”
It wasn’t anything sophisticated—just brute strength and boldness. Simple, crude, but astonishingly effective.
And as those streamers went offline at lightning speed without the slightest response, some of the people who had been in the dark started to realize the truth.
“Wait a second… It seems like this whole thing is a setup!”
Nobody doubted whether what Tang Fangjing said could be false. Even those who had previously stood up to refute him didn’t challenge him from that angle.
Because Tang Fangjing was a man of his word!
If he said he’d take cases for free, then the cases would be free. If he said he’d cover the costs, not a penny would be missing!
As a result, a lot of people online began to reflect, questioning whether these so-called struggling employees were truly destitute and whether those car dealerships were genuinely out of money.
Then, in the comment sections of people like Kong Jianling, there began to appear more questions.
“Hey, single mom, could you respond? What exactly are you hesitating about? Why haven’t you accepted such great terms?”
“Yeah, explain it! Lawyer Tang is going all out to help you, so what happened to all that enthusiasm earlier? Now you’re playing dead, aren’t you?”
Facing these comments, Kong Jianling stayed silent. She didn’t dare respond. She didn’t want to lose her chance to make big money now, but she also had no idea what to do.
“Should I ask Mr. Jin for advice?”
In this tense atmosphere, Old Tang posted another update!
A triple update—something that had never happened before with Old Tang. As soon as the posts were live, they attracted an enormous crowd of onlookers.
“It seems like the users ‘Shepherd Riding a Yellow Cow’ and ‘The Hypocrite’ don’t quite understand the harm that monopolies have on ordinary people. Perfect! I’ll take this opportunity to do some legal education.”
“But this time, such education requires a bit of preparation, so I ask for your patience.”
Those two keep stirring up trouble online, saying things like, ‘If you don’t know about this monopoly stuff, it doesn’t affect your life at all.’
So, Old Tang called them out by name. “You’re questioning it, right? Fine, let me explain it to you. Although, be warned—this might come with… a slight disturbance.”
In Bright District, General Manager Liu and the others were already floored by Old Tang’s previous two updates.
“This lunatic—he… does he really not care about money? Does he even know how much he has to cover per month for so many employees?” Manager Liu muttered.
Initially, they thought Tang Fangjing was crazy. But now, clearly, he was not just crazy—he was downright mad!
Just to make life hard for us, he’d rather fork out such an enormous sum!
There’s no way to counter this. When someone throws in real silver without hesitation, anything you say starts sounding like a lie.
As they were ranting, Su Jun walked in. “Boss Liu, this could be bad. That employee of ours, Xiao Li, just got called out by Tang Fangjing!”
“What?!” Manager Liu and the others hurriedly grabbed their phones to check the updates, and when they saw the comment about “legal education,” they all fell silent.
After a long while, Manager Liu finally spoke. “What on earth is that lunatic planning now?”
The other bosses shook their heads. Old Jin chimed in, “You’ve already called him a lunatic. Who can guess what a lunatic is thinking…”
After pausing for a moment, Old Jin added angrily, “Why doesn’t someone like him just die already? Do you think it’s easy for us to run a business and make money? Damn it!”
No one had any clue what Tang was planning next. His idea of so-called “legal education” was utterly perplexing.
As for the named accounts ‘Shepherd Riding a Yellow Cow’ and ‘The Hypocrite,’ they were utterly dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, in the car dealership run by Manager Liu, Li Jiyuan was restless. He was the user ‘Shepherd Riding a Yellow Cow’—and a friend of Su Jun’s—who had been actively stirring trouble online.
Never in a million years had he expected things to escalate like this. Tang’s counterattack was devastatingly effective.
Seeing Su Jun return, Li Jiyuan hurriedly asked, “Brother Su, what did Manager Liu say?”
Su Jun shook his head. “Not much, just said to wait and see. Don’t delete your account. If you do, it’ll make us look guilty.”
After a pause, Su Jun added, “Don’t worry. Manager Liu won’t let you suffer any losses.”
As the entire internet speculated about what Old Tang was planning, he himself had already arrived at the Handong Province Consumer Association.
An old acquaintance, Old Fang, was waiting for him. Upon seeing Tang, Old Fang smiled. “Lawyer Tang, long time no see.”
Who would have thought that the young man who once came to the Consumer Association alone to push for public interest litigation was now a top-tier lawyer and a formidable figure in Jingzhou?
Old Tang also smiled. “Long time no see. I’ve got another matter to trouble you with today.”
Old Fang nodded. “Come on in. Let’s talk inside.”
Once they were seated, Old Fang finally asked, “Lawyer Tang, what brings you here this time?”
Tang hesitated for a moment before replying, “I suppose you’ve seen what’s been happening with me online recently. This time, I’ve come to discuss initiating some public interest litigation regarding monopolistic practices.”
“Back then, the Modu Price Bureau fined six car manufacturers for monopoly violations. So far, I’ve only sued one, which means…”
As he explained, the smile on Old Fang’s face gradually disappeared.
“Lawyer Tang, you’re planning to sue five car companies? That’s… that’s massive!”
Old Fang truly hadn’t expected Tang to take on something this monumental. Like Qiangsheng Company, these five automakers had backing from industry giants—messing with them could shake the entire system!
While a provincial consumer association might wield some power with ordinary businesses, in the face of such giants, it’s nothing.
“Lawyer Tang, if you take this approach, we won’t be able to withstand the pressure. We, too, have to answer to leadership…”
In his panic, Old Fang finally spoke out the truth.
Consumer associations, despite claims of “independence,” are tied to bigger players in the system. Everyone understands this without needing explanation.
“So, Old Fang, are you saying you can’t do it? I have all the evidence here—all I need is your endorsement…”
Old Fang grimaced. “Lawyer Tang, we’ve worked well together all these years, but this time, the stakes are just too high. It’s not just us—even the national Consumer Association couldn’t handle this.”
Tang fell silent. He could understand Old Fang’s hesitation, but he’d believed this avenue would have been viable, given the significant potential benefits.
“Alright then, I… I’ll take my leave.”
Watching Tang walk away step by step, Old Fang suddenly remembered the pale, hopeful young lawyer he used to know. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but the words never came out.
Outside the Consumer Association, Tang stood for a moment, feeling a pang of melancholy. But he quickly regained his determination.
Old Fang wasn’t wrong; the Consumer Association was under immense pressure—it had to follow orders too.
If the association couldn’t take the heat, then Tang needed someone with higher authority to back him—someone who was in a position of power themselves!
After much thought, Tang hailed a cab to a place he rarely visited.
The Handong Provincial People’s Procuratorate!
