What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 865 - 278: I Didn’t Profit, I Earned a Salary!
Chapter 865: Chapter 278: I Didn’t Profit, I Earned a Salary!
Time reverted to ten minutes ago, at the Intermediate Court office.
The leadership of the Intermediate Court was dumbfounded for a minute after hearing Judge Zhang’s account.
Although they are leaders at an Intermediate Court, they had, frankly, never seen such a way to claim rights.
Or rather, this isn’t something a normal human would do!
To go to the lengths of opening a gym just to set a trap, the processes are indeed legal, but it still feels rather bizarre.
However, the leadership of the Intermediate Court was pleased since this case could be well publicized!
...
Director Tang doesn’t know how their high blood pressure was doing, but he knew one thing: without Ju Haiqing coincidentally providing the gym, this rights claim could have dragged on for a long time.
It’s a very real issue; Tang Fangjing is no god, nor does he have any investigative authority.
The only evidence he could gather was what anyone could find, the public evidence.
No matter how skilled he is, he can’t just conjure up evidence.
He couldn’t possibly know about the chat records among professional shop closers, nor could he get their various financial statements.
So, once he had a breakthrough, Director Tang was prepared to just randomly open a gym and then run away using the same method.
As for the cost, it wouldn’t be much, and the accounts could be squared away in three months.
As for who would play the roles of the masses, naturally, it was the lawyers from the law firm.
The lawyers would buy memberships at the gym, committing to one or two years, and after three months when the gym closed down, all the accounts would be in order, no matter how the other party scrutinized them.
Think of it as a perk for the law firm; he certainly couldn’t actually take their money.
He is now wealthy, the law firm’s annual dividends alone are frighteningly high, not to mention the times he took on profitable cases, so this expense was not a problem at all.
Then, Ju Haiqing appeared and things got real…
It seems like a particularly foolish method, something anyone would do.
But you have to understand, really, nobody would do this, just as the Intermediate Court leadership thought, it’s not something a normal human would come up with.
Earning ten thousand from a case as a lawyer, but then spending a hundred thousand on investigation and evidence gathering, those hundred thousand nobody’s willing to cover, you’d have to pay out of pocket.
Is that something a regular person would do?
But Director Tang didn’t care, he was originally not normal; how could a normal person have access to the system.
Now, all that’s left is to wait, this case finally has headway.
It’s just unknown whether Tian Liben, if incarcerated, could withstand the “Great Memory Recovery Technique” inside, as none of the cases Director Tang has handled over the years have managed to do so.
Transferring jurisdiction of a case takes time, especially now, as the Intermediate Court needs to transfer the case to the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau first, and then the Bureau passes it down to the Bright District Branch.
The system very much respects this hierarchical relationship; the Intermediate Court coordinates directly with the City Bureau and the City Prosecutor’s Office.
As he exited the Intermediate Court, he saw Ju Haiqing waiting at the entrance.
“How did it go, Lawyer Tang? Did you take it?”
Ju Haiqing, having long stopped caring about the losses of the gym, now considered it money spent for his own amusement.
As a bachelor with a high income, “one eats well, the whole family isn’t hungry,” these things really didn’t bother him.
The idea of opening a gym was a spur of the moment thing, thinking that being the boss, he’d definitely go to the place daily and thus get some exercise.
But after opening the gym, he realized lazy people stay lazy, even at the gym they’d just play with their phones…
Director Tang smiled, “You’re still worried when I’m on it? The Intermediate Court has taken the case and agreed to help with the transfer.”
“That’s great, that’s great!” Ju Haiqing was very excited, eager to see how things would unfold.
Not just he, but he had also involved several gym clients in the act.
When he first opened the gym, some local online novel writers came to support a friend, everyone got a one-year membership.
When they heard about this situation, one by one, they all came to watch the excitement.
When that lackey went to check the accounts, a few of the novelists came and put on such a convincing act.
After bidding farewell to Ju Haiqing, Director Tang returned to the law firm to handle other matters.
Meanwhile, he remained in contact with the other party, and the terms for mediation kept changing.
From initially demanding a hundred percent refund to later ninety percent, eighty percent, and so on.
In the detention center, Tian Liben felt like each day was a year, it was really hard to endure.
This line of work, honestly speaking, it was his first time in here, and for someone used to freedom, suddenly losing it was truly unbearable.
Thankfully, there was a time limit to this, counting the days with his fingers, another day gone, counting how many more till he could get out.
Everyone was waiting, Tian Liben waiting for when he could get out, Director Tang waiting for the court to transfer the case, the Public Security Authorities to initiate an investigation, Luo Yong… Luo Yong was waiting to make money.

But some people from Sun Yan’s side were getting a little anxious.
Just as Director Tang returned to the law firm, Wang Qingqing approached, “Brother Tang, that Sun Yan came asking about the case progress, should we see him?”
“Ask about case progress? Let’s meet, I guess they’re getting anxious.” Director Tang nodded.
Soon, in the office, Director Tang met with Sun Yan and a few others.
“Director Tang, it’s not that we’re here to rush you, we all trust you, it’s just that a few days ago a neighbor went to the Intermediate Court and found that the case was still in mediation, so they started asking in the group…” Sun Yan said with a smile.
