Chapter 884: Chapter 284: That Depends on Old Zhou’s Luck_2
Suspension of sentence for two years, which just coincides with not being able to act as an agent or defender for two years after resigning from the court and procuratorate. After two years, the suspension expires, allowing direct admission into law firms.
Although our country’s lawyers cannot act like those flashy lawyers in the United States, they still play their clever tricks expertly.
Two days later, Lawyer Tang returned home only to find Mr. and Mrs. Ma waiting for him at the entrance of the community.
“Lawyer Tang, we’ve called the police, and now the case is registered with the Public Security Authorities. We’ve discovered that the other party is really a fraudster!” Dong Yuhui hurriedly said.
Lawyer Tang is indeed miraculous; by just listening to a few sentences, he deduced the approximate situation.
Mr. Ma added, “It wasn’t the person we found, but another who had hired someone else to handle affairs, and that person turned out to be a fraudster!”
Hearing this, Lawyer Tang nodded and said, “Then wait, as long as the criminal case is registered, it will be easy to handle. At least the Public Security Authorities will definitely help.”
Mr. and Mrs. Ma thanked him profusely, and Lawyer Tang waved his hand indicating it was no bother.
Upon reaching home, Lawyer Tang looked out the window, pleased that Mr. Zhou had good luck; as for whether the person was really a fraudster or not, that remained unknown.
In these times, who can clearly discern truth from falsehood? It’s quite common for white gloves to go to jail for their leaders; that’s not important.
Sitting on the sofa, Lawyer Tang thought carefully before responding: “Ms. Liu, I have received your case details. I will depart for Tianyan City tomorrow, and we can discuss further when we meet.”
If Mr. Ma’s case goes smoothly, he might not need his involvement, thus missing out on a typical case scenario. But if it does not go smoothly, it just shows that Mr. Zhou is fortunate.
Now, heading to Hanxi Province is more important; this case has a high likelihood of activating a mission!
In Anping District, Tianyan City, Hanxi Province, Liu Qiaoqiao was vending on the streets, vigilantly watching her surroundings in case the urban management officers arrived, making it easier for her to flee.
It had been two years since that incident occurred, but she had never been able to forget it.
Back then, her life was fulfilled with a complete family and a store she owned.
Now, she is divorced, without a store, penniless, with only her children still with her.
Deep into the night, Liu Qiaoqiao packed up her stall and made her way to her tiny rental.
Her children were sound asleep, but Liu Qiaoqiao, sitting on a chair, could not fall asleep at all, plagued by insomnia ever since that incident.
She couldn’t understand; all she wanted was an explanation, so how did she end up in jail? Is there no justice left?
While pondering, Liu Qiaoqiao saw a reply on her phone.
“Lawyer Tang from Jingzhou is willing to help me? He… he’s coming tomorrow?”

After reading it several times, Liu Qiaoqiao finally confirmed it was indeed a reply from Lawyer Tang!
Although she knew Lawyer Tang picks cases based on interest, she never expected that he would take interest in her situation!
Wanting to reply but considering the late hour, she worried that if she didn’t reply, Lawyer Tang wouldn’t know.
After some hesitation, she still sent the message: “Alright, Lawyer Tang, call me directly when you arrive…”
The next day, Lawyer Tang packed his things and set off alone.
Such matters had to be handled without Wang Qingqing because they were genuinely complicated.
The year Tianyan City was promoting its sanitation and civility campaign, Liu Qiaoqiao had items displayed outside her shop.
Subsequently, the inspectors decided to confiscate those items outside.
Upon hearing voices outside, Liu Qiaoqiao ran out only to find the staff about to take her items away, leading to a conflict.
Later, Liu Qiaoqiao was diagnosed with closed cerebral contusion (mild) and multiple soft tissue injuries, with loose teeth.
Following the conflict, staff called the police, and the local police station issued an opinion stating, “This case falls under the jurisdiction of administrative cases of this unit,” and subsequently issued a penalty decision, warning Liu Qiaoqiao.
At this point, the matter should have been resolved, but Liu Qiaoqiao did not accept it.
She felt that the other party came without saying anything, did not notify her, and just wanted to take her items away. She was injured in the conflict, yet in the end, she was the one warned.
She then applied for administrative reconsideration, but the penalty was upheld.
Afterward, Liu Qiaoqiao repeatedly petitioned, and towards the end of the next year, a year since the original conflict, Anping District Public Security Bureau of Tianyan City decided to open a criminal investigation against Liu Qiaoqiao for suspected obstruction of official duties!
And she was criminally detained on the same day.
This situation was not just an overconcern by Lawyer Tang; it was genuinely complex. Tianyan City in Hanxi Province had a similar situation to Lin City in Handong Province.
The rule of law is very underdeveloped.
So, Old Tang came, and the construction of the rule of law lagged behind, but he, Tang Fangjing, was willing to become a brick in the construction of the rule of law!
Having arrived at Tianyan City Airport, he then dialed Liu Qiaoqiao’s phone.
“I’m here, where are you?”
“Lawyer Tang, I’m just outside the airport, wait a moment, I’ll come find you.”
Five minutes later, Old Tang met Liu Qiaoqiao, who had been sending him private messages since March of this year, for over half a year.
Now seeing her in person, she indeed had that unyielding character, or rather, a character that cared about the truth.
“Lawyer Tang, welcome, I… um…”
Seeing that she was not good with words, Old Tang waved his hand and said, “No need to say these things, let’s find a place and talk about the case.”
Going to her home was definitely not an option, she was a divorced woman, and if seen by others, rumors would swirl within minutes.
So, Old Tang directly chose a teahouse, and then the two of them began discussing the specifics of the case, primarily focusing on the verdict document.
“Currently, it’s like this: the first trial sentenced you to six months’ imprisonment suspended for one year and a fine of ten thousand yuan, then you filed an appeal, and the second trial upheld the original verdict, right?”
Liu Qiaoqiao nodded, “Actually, many people advised me to let it go, since I don’t actually have to go to jail right now, and it will all be over in a year, but I can’t accept it!”
“My actions were indeed wrong, but why am I the only one being punished, what about them, why am I being held criminally responsible just by visiting the court a few times, I feel it’s so unfair!”
Old Tang smiled without saying a word, in this world indeed there are many “whys”, some people choose to keep peace, others choose to demand the truth.
But these truth-demanding people are weak and fewer in number, whereas he, Tang Fangjing, wants to help them demand the truth!
Right is right, wrong is wrong, no matter who it is!
On the system panel, a familiar scene has already appeared.
Mission objective: Educate the staff using legal means!
Mission reward: 50% completion reward, three extra days of life…
Current completion rate: 0%.
Look at this tricky system, not even daring to use a black heart, and the scope of ‘staff’ mentioned is a bit too broad…
However, achieving a high completion rate for this mission seems challenging.
Could it be that I have to redo what happened in Lin City here?
Liu Qiaoqiao looked at Old Tang with a nervous face, not daring to speak up, worried that this was a dream, and suddenly Tang Fangjing would disappear, and she would wake up.
Old Tang finally spoke, “For this case, our first order of business is to apply for a retrial, and first, we must get the verdict of obstructing public service overturned.”
This is similar to that forced demolition case I handled in Jingzhou, where obstruction of public service is not guilty either due to insufficient evidence or because the law enforcement was illegal!
When public service itself becomes illegal, then naturally the crime of obstructing public service is not guilty.
And in this case, the law enforcement personnel were much more audacious than the personnel in that demolition case.
Maybe it’s due to the creation of government positions, but they did not follow laws and regulations during law enforcement, though many have overlooked these actions later on.
Well, since that’s the case, let me, Tang Fangjing, give them a proper reminder!
After signing the contract, Old Tang instructed, “Next, it might get a bit noisy… you can’t leave here during the conditional suspension period, but you know my principles, without my permission, you can’t negotiate with them privately!”
Liu Qiaoqiao nodded, her expression serious, “No problem, Lawyer Tang, I am disgusted by them, there is no way I could negotiate with them.”
“That’s good, I need to go to Xiping City overnight today, and then appeal to the High Court tomorrow, if anything comes up, we’ll talk on the phone!”
Having said that, Old Tang turned and walked away, rushing to catch the high-speed train.
Behind him, Liu Qiaoqiao watched his retreating figure and inexplicably wanted to cry.
She found it strange herself; she was over thirty and yet, the sight of a silhouette could move her to tears.
Over the past two years, she had looked for many lawyers to help her, but no one was willing to get involved.
Local lawyers even advised her to obey and not make more trouble as it wouldn’t do anyone any good.
Only Lawyer Tang came without hesitation!
