What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Yeah, what on earth is going on with Tang Fangjing?

"Leisurely Clouds and Wild Cranes": That's definitely for the sake of more money. With this example, more people will seek him out for lawsuits in the future, isn't that a benefit? Brain-dead fans, if you don't understand anything, would you please stop talking?

Although nearly rubbed into the ground, Leisurely Clouds and Wild Cranes was still talking tough, probably because his mouth was the toughest part of him.

At Jingzhou Dafeng Law Firm, Old Han was studying a case, when suddenly his assistant burst in and said, "Director Han, did you see the internet? That Tang Fangjing from Tengda has been publicly denounced!"

"Ah? Publicly denounced?" Old Han looked up, a bit slow to react.

"Yes, it's about him representing a case for free. It's causing a big stir now; a lot of lawyers are sharing it!"

Old Han quickly picked up his phone to check, and indeed, it was easy to find with a simple search.

"Haha, I knew his actions would definitely lead to trouble. You don't worry, I'll handle it!"

He was currently the vice director of the Jingzhou Lawyers Association, and of course, he was very aware that the association had received countless complaints about Tang Fangjing over the past two years.

Most of them were related to unfair competition, accusing him of low fees or pro bono representation.

It's just that the association had kept all those complaints on the down-low, and to tell the truth, in previous cases, Tang Fangjing basically spoke for many people, so those couldn't be handled.

Now, with the public denunciation online, and with such a controversial case to boot!

After some thought, Old Han made a phone call: "Hello, yes, it's me. You know about the denunciation of Tang Fangjing online, right? Add some fuel to the fire, I'll pay..."

These days, buying traffic was a normal operation, and as a law firm director, Old Han was clear about such tricks.

Let me repeat, lawyers do not necessarily stand for justice, and they aren't bound to always follow the law. Knowing the law and abiding by it are two different things.

Don't think that just because lawyers understand the law, they won't break it. Do you dare believe that there are even lawyers who use drugs?

Meanwhile, online, quite a few lawyers started sharing the video.

In Magic City, Old Zheng, as if he had encountered something thrilling, was the first to jump out and begin sharing.

"Perhaps Lawyer Tang Fangjing thought the other party was pitiful, so he considered representing them for free, but pity is not a reason for pro bono work. If you really feel sorry, you can request legal aid, instead of bringing in such a big-shot lawyer to represent for free."

"Clearly, if it is indeed pro bono work, then it is irregular, @Jingzhou Lawyers Association."

In Jingzhou, Wu Jicheng, the former director of Shengda Law Firm who was forced to shut down by Old Tang, directly said, "As far as I know, there have been quite a few such reports before. I want to ask the Jingzhou Lawyers Association, why haven't you dealt with them?"

"Just because Tang Fangjing is famous? Does breaking the rules by a famous lawyer not count as a violation? This is blatantly unfair competition, relying on his past experiences of desperate rights protection to prevent the association from taking action against him."

"Even with this, there are still people praising him? Pah, when he was an intern lawyer, he complained about the Lawyers Association being unfair and even wanted to sue the association. What about now? Why is he silent now?"

I've been waiting for such an opportunity; it's a must to kick someone when they're down.

Hatred is just hatred; it won't disappear just because Old Tang is right. When the right time comes, all this hatred will surge out.

For others, like Li Changming, who ended up behind bars because of Old Tang, the hatred they feel is even more unspeakable. Because for a lawyer to commit a crime, it usually means their life is ruined.

You can argue over whether the rules are reasonable or not, but the question is, did you break the rule? Have you or have you not provided pro bono representation?

Inside Tengda Law Firm, Old Wang looked at the online news with a grave expression.

Old Song said with a dark face, "I think these people must have colluded. Someone is buying troll accounts, others are sharing to add fire to the heat."

Wang Qingqing beside them said, "Old Song, among those sharing, there seem to be quite a few regular netizens."

"Regular netizens?" Old Wang, who was practically Wang Qingqing's uncle, retorted directly, "Have you gone daft? Other than industry insiders who would care about such matters, do you think netizens will care whether your lawyering is for free or not?"

Rivals are the real problem, netizens are just there for the entertainment, and they couldn't care less about free legal fights—in fact, they'd probably like it if legal fights were free...

So it's clear without even looking that most of those adding to the heat are industry insiders, apart from the people Old Tang has offended online.

Wang Qingqing was scolded to the point where she didn't dare to speak. After all, the Director Wang was her uncle, yet he scolded her more harshly than others...

Old Wang felt a bit weary; his relative didn't seem the sharpest, often speaking without thinking. He initially thought of palming her off to Old Tang to mentor, but the latter didn't bite at all...

"What did Old Cheng say?" Old Wang asked after some thought.

Old Song shook his head, "Hard to say, the online uproar is growing more intense, and it's not certain Old Cheng's side can hold up, not to mention, the Handong Lawyers Association might directly intervene, or even..."

Old Song left the sentence unfinished; even the national Lawyers Association might get involved.

After all, the regulation was established by the national Lawyers Association.

"Contact Old Tang and see when we can counterattack," Old Wang decided to say after some thought.

Old Song nodded, Free? There's no such thing as free.

As for the masses of netizens online, this trending topic seemed to emerge suddenly.

"Your Imagined Shady Path": Huh? Free? And that's irregular? Can't lawyers do charity? What's that lawyer Old Zheng talking about; is it wrong for a lawyer to represent someone poor for free?
