What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Old Tang directly said, "Mr. Jin, stop talking; reconciliation is impossible. Your son's grudge against me is likely to last a lifetime, so why should I forgive an enemy?"

As for threatening to jump off the building... he didn't jump on the spot, and as long as the duty to persuade is fulfilled, that's enough.

Otherwise, in this day and age, we might as well not do anything. You won't forgive, so you'll commit suicide? Then go ahead and commit suicide. Of course, I would definitely not say that, but what you choose to do is up to you.

Using your own life to threaten an enemy—what a foolish idea.

Your life is probably only valued by your parents.

Inside, Jin Xintian watched as Tang Fangjing didn't even turn his head, acting as if he had gone mad. The pride he took in his self-esteem was worth less than nothing in the eyes of the young lawyer opposite him.

For a moment, he truly wanted to jump, but... better to live a bad life than to die a good death.

Thinking of death brought an inexplicable fear. Sometimes saying "I'm going to jump" is just a way to vent emotions, to scare others.

Old Tang returned to the hotel. He did not tell Chi Yan about this trip. As an excellent lawyer, he was very aware of his own appeal.

But as the saying goes, one cannot have all the good things in life.

He could be undefeated, with administrative lawsuits leaving agencies in disarray and taking on any and all litigation because of his current identity.

Having attachments means hesitations; trying to consider every aspect. When others go all out, he would hesitate, and in this business, hesitation is not an option.

You either don't do it or you go all out; hesitation only leads to defeat.

At home, Chen Jiaquan was nearly sick with anger looking at the news online.

Netizens were all saying he had lost, but he hadn't lost. There hadn't been much of a conversation between them!

Granted, the question asked at that time was tricky to answer then, but not unanswerable.

And now, it's being spun into a personal defeat?

He wanted to post something else, but he didn't dare, because that young lawyer seemed insane, sticky like glue. Once stuck, you have to keep going.

This wasn't something that blocking could solve; he would find you offline...

Really, after so many years online, Chen Jiaquan had never encountered someone so literal. Is it really necessary to come to my school just because I said a few words?

To humiliate me in front of so many students!

No, this Tang Fangjing cannot be let off easily...

Naturally, Old Tang was unaware of Professor Chen's desire for revenge. His life was currently quite carefree.

He went to Crescent Lake again. There's a famous gourmet city by the lake, which is said to greatly damage the ecological environment of Crescent Lake, but it has been years without a solution.

It's truly without solution; it is the only place to eat within the entire Crescent Lake scenic area...

Finally, the day of the court session arrived.

In the People's Court of Linshan District, Luzhou City, Old Tang sat there with a look of surprise in his eyes as he reviewed the defense brief.

How Jin Xintian's parents managed to contact the Capital Lawyer was beyond him, but judging by the arguments laid out in the defense brief, this Capital Lawyer was decidedly a dogged type!

"Dogged type" is somewhat a specialty of Capital Lawyers, and Old Tang was clear about this; after all, he had been a heavyweight in the circle of Capital Lawyers in his past life, especially in criminal cases.

The reason for his surprise was that Old Tang had not yet seen the performance of the dogged type in this life.

He knew this area well; he just wanted to see what shocking and outrageous things the other party would say.

The court session began, and a few sentences from the opposing lawyer soon dissipated Old Tang's interest.

What should not be said was omitted, and the approach was not much different from the ways he taught in the past: if you can't argue the facts, attack the procedure; if the procedure doesn't work, appeal to emotions...

A lawyer in there pleading for your sympathy, saying the other party is still young, and so on...

Do you think this is a joke? No, some lawyers in court are even worse than this.

So, Old Tang didn't interrupt much from beginning to end, enjoying the performance thoroughly and reflecting on his past life.

Somewhat guiltily, he felt as though dying at someone's hands might be expected, considering the wrongdoing of his past life.

What should have been a forty-minute court session was drawn out to an hour and a half, and that was only because the presiding judge couldn't put up with it any longer; he rebuked the lawyer on the spot, causing him to finally stop his performance.

Old Tang heard that, afterwards, they were still explaining to Jin Xintian's parents that there was nothing they could do—the judge had scolded them.

This tactic was too jarring to the eyes. Haven't you changed your methods over so many years? They were almost indistinguishable from what I used to teach.

Then, after adjourning and returning for the verdict: the defendant Jin Xintian was found guilty of defamation and sentenced to six months in prison—yes, without the possibility of a suspended sentence, which was even heavier than Zheng Baolin's sentence.

Because both the defense attorney and he did not think it was a crime, there was no indication of remorse or repentance, not to mention the direct attack on the judge...

Old Tang sighed; there are reasons why services are expensive.

So, some may ask, how come the dogged type has lasted so many years of gimmicks without ruining their reputation?

Of course not. Not every case is like this. Sometimes they stumble upon one, and a case that was supposed to result in conviction ends up being acquitted!

That's something to publicize heavily. When ordinary people look for a lawyer, if one tells you they can argue for a reduced sentence and another tells you they can argue for acquittal, with the latter having many cases on hand, who would you choose?
