What's wrong with this lawyer?!

In summary, the judgment is as follows: Bright Bank shall pay Wu Youhua five hundred thousand yuan after this judgment takes effect!

The litigation costs of this case shall be borne by the defendant, Bright Bank Co., Ltd.

Wu Youhua's other claims are dismissed.

Upon hearing the result of the judgment, Old Tang laughed immediately; this verdict was similar to the one in his previous life.

It still applied the "open window" theory. He definitely had some responsibility, but when it came to litigation, he could never admit any fault. It was all on you, so you should compensate!

The judges will consider the circumstances for sure, and upon consideration, they will make you bear some responsibility too, and the verdict just hits the target you had in mind.

Director Ding became anxious as soon as he heard the verdict, and Bank President Ma, who had also come to the court, turned to ask, "Lawyer Ding, what's going on? How could we lose this case?"

He was clearly aware that his sales staff were rather rough in selling financial products, but now they had to bear responsibility because of this?

Director Ding whispered, "It must be related to Tang Fangjing. He's well-known now. There must be a problem. Shall we appeal?"

Bank President Ma didn't respond. He was aware of the second instance procedures. Changes in a second-instance ruling generally require judges to apply for and go through a series of processes such as approval.

Therefore, changes in judgments are rare...

"I'll think it over."

The verdict was swiftly disseminated, and all of a sudden, online influencers and banking industry professionals were confused.

They could not believe this case was won?

The previously vocal influencer "Xu Xiaofeng" was being called out to step forward.

"Come on, Expert Xu, give us your opinion. The judgment clearly states that the bank failed to fulfill its duty to disclose risks, which can't be proven just by signing a contract."

"Right, Teacher Xu, you said it was unreasonable, didn't you? Share your thoughts."

Back home in Magic City, Xu Xiaofeng tossed his phone aside. His account, with over four million followers, suddenly became a joke. Had the direction of public opinion changed?

Some lawyers even directly stated online that this case was extremely significant regarding the responsibility assignment in consigned financial product sales.

At the very least, banks would no longer be so casual about risk assessments and sales of high-risk financial products in the future. They needed to have the necessary evidence.

The bank filed an appeal. Meanwhile, Old Tang had reached Tengda's building. As he had said earlier, he was involved in this case purely for the money.

It wouldn't be a problem to have Old Song deal with the second trial. The reason he was eager to return was that Miss Xiao Yan had sent a message saying a couple was crying and refusing to leave unless they saw Lawyer Tang.

"Miss Xiao Yan, Miss Xiao Yan, where are you?" Old Tang arrived at Tengda's entrance and shouted inside.

Miss Xiao Yan hurried out and said, "Brother Tang, they're in your office. But I have to warn you; this case is tricky. One false move and you could be attacked by online public opinion."

Old Tang became curious upon hearing this, "What case is it that could provoke online public opinion against me now?"

"It's a rape case, and it's quite unusual—it's a marital rape case!"

Old Tang couldn't bear to hear those words, especially not when the words "marital" were prefixed, making it even more unbearable.

"This case does seem interesting. What exactly happened?"

Miss Xiao Yan shook her head, "I don't know much, but it seems like their son is in the middle of a divorce lawsuit with his wife, and all of a sudden, they filed a rape charge, and he's been arrested."

"Now the parents claim their son couldn't have done such a thing. The details are unclear, Brother Tang, just be careful, this is a very sensitive issue nowadays."

"No worries, you know me, I'm always cautious. Let's go meet the couple first."
