What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Bright District Court, Old Tang had expended considerable effort to get in touch with the case judge.

The result was another acquaintance.

Upon meeting, he discovered Old Zhou's already scant hair was fluttering in the wind. According to him, divorce cases had surged in the past year, nearly driving the judges in their civil tribunal to their wits' end.

"The guys next door in the criminal tribunal have it easy, you see how idle they are these days. The prosecutor's office has even implemented a plea bargaining system, you just come over and hand down the verdict," Old Zhou complained as soon as he saw Old Tang.

Old Tang watched him with a smile, contemplating whether to stir up some big trouble, as he was too kind-hearted to bear seeing the criminal tribunal judges idle.

"Eh, by the way, how come you took on this case? I thought you weren't interested in divorce cases?" Old Zhou started to print out the documents while he spoke.

Old Tang waved his hand, "This divorce case is incidental; the main thing is a criminal case I took on."

"The case you've taken is related to this divorce case, right? The other party has now amended their litigation claims."

Old Tang took the copy of the complaint that had been printed and glanced over it, his expression suddenly changing.

The complaint stated that Zhao Lixiang habitually violated her personal will, forcefully engaging in relations through beating and humiliation...

However, there was no corresponding evidence, just a few photos.

The key evidence was the "Criminal Detention Notice" issued by the police to her, a close relative.

Indeed, after little Zhao was detained, the notice was given to his wife, a close relative. It sounded reasonable, after all, a daughter could understand her biological father.

Anyways, they were using this incident of marital rape to suggest that such issues had existed before.

What a situation, the person is pushed in, and they want all of the property, possibly even leaving debts...

Wait, debts, Old Tang felt like he had caught on to something important. Zhao Lixiang had mentioned debts that came out of nowhere.

So, under such circumstances, the other party was unlikely to fight the lawsuit fairly. If they played dirty, they could get you locked up, sweep all the assets away and saddle you with debt!

After all, if you were to be imprisoned, by the time you served three years and got out, the person would be long gone.

"Judge Zhou, since I'm already here, I would like to apply for an investigation order. I need to check the bank transactions of the plaintiff's side, as well as the plaintiff's financial situation in the previous marriage!"

By this time, applying for asset preservation was already too late; Zhao Lixiang had previously handed over all financial control, which allowed the other party to transfer assets whenever they pleased.

That's the advantage of having a big reputation. If it were any other lawyer, you would apply for an investigation order and just submit the documents. Old Tang could discuss it directly with Old Zhou.

Discussing face-to-face and submitting documents are completely different concepts.

"Do you suspect the plaintiff has been transferring assets?" Old Zhou said, furrowing his brow.

As a civil tribunal judge, he had seen all sorts of divorce cases and quickly got the idea.

Old Tang immediately responded, "I do have such a suspicion. I even suspect there's a bigger issue here, especially since Zhao Lixiang had no knowledge of the family finances during his previous married life."

"Okay, go prepare the documents and apply, and I'll approve it!"

Half a day later, Old Tang, holding a fresh lawyer's investigation order, went straight to Jingzhou Bank.

According to Zhao Lixiang's account, his salary, upon receipt, was immediately transferred to Kang Xinxin's card, which was with Jingzhou Bank.

Well, that goes without saying, an old acquaintance at Jingzhou Bank.

The place was familiar, but this time Old Tang didn't need Old Song to handle the procedures. Upon entering, he went straight to the lobby manager.

"I need to inspect the banking transactions, here is the other party's name and ID number."

The new lobby manager was preparing to speak when Old Tang interjected, "I know you don't have the authority, take me to see your supervisor."

"Our supervisor is unavailable at the moment..." said the lobby manager, habitually attempting to make excuses.

From across the way, Old Tang effortlessly produced his lawyer's ID, picking the correct one this time.

"Recognize this name? Your supervisor should have mentioned me, right?" he said.

"So take me now, if the bank president isn't in then the deputy will do."

The lobby manager was startled upon seeing it: "Tang Fangjing? You're Tang Fangjing? Then let me contact the supervisor right away."

Any other lawyer maybe, but the leadership had specifically mentioned Tang Fangjing, describing him as a lunatic. If there was even a slight irregularity in what you did, he'd latch on and not let go.

A madman well-versed in laws and regulations who wasn't going to live much longer, many in Jingzhou took the same stance—steer clear of him.

Better to dispense with the harbinger of misfortune swiftly. After all, the man wasn't expected to live much longer.

Why so? The last time a muck truck hit him and he was operated on, when the abdomen was opened, many doctors saw the tumor that had spread throughout his body.

Liver cancer, such a malignant disease; normally, if someone is diagnosed with terminal stage, they generally only have a few months, or a year if treatment is effective.

Now, this man was likely on his last legs; you certainly didn't want to provoke him, in case he caused you some major trouble just before his death.

The president of Jingzhou Bank was extremely cooperative, and Old Tang quickly obtained the transaction history for Kang Xinxin's card.

A quick glance, and the asset transfers showed no finesse, just blatant transfers to an account held by Ye Liping.

The bulk of the transfers were concentrated in the last month, with the latest transfer on the thirteenth, and the filing for divorce on the sixteenth.

Zhao Lixiang was still deluded, rushing over whenever called to discuss splitting assets, unaware that the other party had already cleanly transferred everything away.
