What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Hello, Master Luo, I'm calling to let you know that your money will be executed into place today. Please take some time to go to the enforcement bureau with me today to pick up the case closing notification and sign it."

On the other side of the phone, Luo Duancheng was so excited he almost jumped up. After such a long time, he could finally get the wages he deserved.

It really wasn't easy. Sometimes Luo Duancheng would wonder why it was so hard to get one's own money these days. He had done the work, yet it was such a hassle to get paid.

Not to mention that Lawyer Tang had been stabbed.

Of course, Luo Duancheng had no idea what exactly Lawyer Tang had done in this case. In fact, without his clever move of turning a civil case into a criminal one, without being prepared to "pierce the corporate veil" in advance, this case could have dragged on for another two years.

It couldn't be helped; Old Tang had to take it seriously. If the execution wasn't in place, then the lawsuit was as good as not filed, because litigation was always just a means to an end.

If you win a lawsuit and can't get the money, then the lawsuit only serves to add to the court's and lawyer's achievements and nothing else.

Listining to Luo Duancheng's excited voice on the phone, Tang Fangjing also smiled. Although he was doing it for his own task, he couldn't deny the great feeling of having helped someone.

And with the execution of the payment in place, looking at his task panel, the completion rate was a whopping four hundred percent!

This completion rate was already very high, just like with the property management incident.

Tang Fangjing guessed that it might be due to him being stabbed without using the "Death-Defying Rescue" power, or it might have to do with his angry confrontation with Lei Peng.

Anyway, whatever the reason, this degree of completion was certainly very satisfying!

During the property incident, he received Pain Shielding. This time, he wondered what reward he would get.

"System, claim the reward!"

Another six months of life were dispatched. Seeing the life balance breakthrough another year, Tang Fangjing finally felt at ease.

If this were a game, it would have been too difficult, like hoarding as much life balance as possible, like a hamster hoarding food.

"Integrated Fighting (Level One) has been dispatched."

The system's next prompt made Tang Fangjing's eyes sparkle; he finally got the capability to fight back!

Closing his eyes, he sensed the changes. Although it was still the same body, it felt significantly different.

Not only were his reflexes quicker but now, if someone wanted to attack, he knew exactly how to counter...

There was still more to explore slowly, however.

He was more than satisfied. Although he had been consistently working out, at his age, honestly speaking, his body was already set in its ways. Apart from other considerations, even stretching his muscles was a hassle.

And now, Old Tang could easily do a perfect split!

At this moment, Old Song pushed open the door and said, "Old Tang, we have some intern lawyers coming for interviews today. Do you want to pick one to mentor... What are you up to, Old Tang?"

"Ahem, just casually practicing. Oh, we have interns coming, right? I won't choose any; you pick a few and I'll just use them directly," Old Tang replied.

Those cases of his were not something ordinary people could get involved in.

Old Song nodded and headed out the door, but halfway through, he looked back only to find Tang Fangjing hee-hawing as he started practicing again.

They made eye contact.

"Old Song, did you need something else?"

"Oh, no, nothing more." Old Song finally left, but he was puzzled. Who exactly had late-stage cancer? Because this young man seemed even more lively than himself!

As the saying goes, "Practice the boxing, not the power, and in old age, you will achieve nothing." This power, in Tang Fangjing's view, needed to keep up with the times – at a minimum, it should now definitely include criminal law knowledge.

Well, this is quite the coincidence; Tang Fangjing may not be knowledgeable about many things, but criminal law, he's got it down to a T!

A few days later, Lei Peng's trial commenced. For attempted murder and failure to pay labor remuneration, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison with a fine of fifty thousand yuan!

Incidentally, he was ordered to compensate Tang Fangjing for related expenses to the tune of eighty thousand yuan.

This amount of compensation was not insignificant. Tang Fangjing knew that a junior high school girl who had been raped and murdered only received a little over fifty thousand yuan in civil compensation.

That fifty thousand was actually for funeral expenses, and by that, the court had already imposed the maximum penalty.

......

It was almost noon. Director Liu, who had finished his tasks, stretched languidly and then prepared to head home.

During this time, he thrived as the chairman of the community committee, feeling like he should have resigned long ago from slaving away for the boss of Bluebird Company, being told to scram whenever they said.

Now, the community is too easy to manage. The residents, having received money, all praise him as a good director.

He knew that all these were based on money, but it didn't matter. After all, the community's public income was high. Even walking a dog could be managed well. The previous property management had turned into such a mess, which could only be chalked up to excessive greed.

"Director Liu, are you getting ready to head home?"

Zhao Ruixia asked with a smile.

"Yeah, my daughter is coming home for lunch at noon. Her mom's too busy to take care of it, so I have to do the cooking," Director Liu replied cheerily.

He had two children; his eldest son was already in high school, and his younger daughter, only fifteen this year, was still in junior high school—his darling little cotton-padded jacket.

People are always complicated. Old Liu, in his work, could constantly PUA his employees, but at home, he was a good father and husband.

"Director Tang has been discharged from the hospital. Let's find time to visit him again," Zhao proposed.

After some casual chat, Old Liu left the community committee office, planning to buy some groceries first. His daughter was growing, and she needed more nutrition.

When he got home and started cooking, his phone rang. It was his daughter's homeroom teacher.

"Hello, Teacher Sun..."

He was cut off before he could finish greeting her. It was clear from the urgency in Teacher Sun's voice, "Is this Liu Yan's father? Your daughter has had an accident!"

Old Liu was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Teacher Sun, what happened to my daughter?"

"Your daughter had a conflict with some classmates by the school toilets and stabbed them with a switchblade. The police have taken her away. You need to come to the police station near the school immediately!"

Old Liu felt like a bolt from the blue had struck him blind.

His daughter stabbing someone? How could that be possible?

In his eyes, his daughter was always rather well-behaved, hardly daring to even speak loudly, much less have the courage to stab someone with a knife.

But now wasn't the time for other words. Old Liu put down the kitchen knife, turned around to put on his shoes, and asked while doing so, "Teacher Sun, I'll be right there. Uh... how are those students now?"

"I don't know. They've all been taken to the hospital. You can ask for yourself when you get here."

After hanging up the phone, Old Liu rushed out the door. He drove as if he was taking off, and soon arrived at the nearby Renmin Road police station.

He stumbled out of the car into the police station and was quickly stopped by a police officer.

"Hey, hey, hold on. Comrade, who are you looking for?" Old Ge asked as he looked at the man in front of him.

"I... I am Liu Yan's father, didn't you arrest Liu Yan today, from Fifty-Seventh Middle School..."

Old Ge immediately understood and said, "Oh, you're the father of that girl. Come with me."

Once in the office area, Old Liu immediately saw his daughter's homeroom teacher.

"Teacher Sun, what exactly happened here? My daughter wouldn't do this without reason," he implored.

Teacher Sun, a woman in her thirties, replied sternly, "Don't ask me, I don't know either. How could such a thing happen all of a sudden? I'm at a loss myself."

The school's vice-principal, standing by with an expressionless face, was unhappy about the incident as well; nobody would come out well from an incident like this and, consequently, felt averse to Old Liu.

He couldn't help but say, "What kind of parenting is this? You raised your child to do this. Now those kids are in the hospital, you tell me..."

Faced with these accusations, Old Liu didn't know what to say and turned to ask, "Comrade, can I see my daughter? I want to hear the situation from her. She's only fifteen, after all!"

Old Ge shook his head and said, "You can't see your daughter right now. Her situation... is a bit grave."

During the investigation stage of a case, the investigating officer cannot disclose specific details, but Old Ge knew that four people had been stabbed, two of them seriously injured, and were currently in the hospital for emergency treatment.

This was also why the authorities had taken criminal enforcement actions. At fifteen, intentional injury with serious results was enough to meet the criminal standard.

"However, you can appoint a lawyer to meet with her."

A lawyer... Old Liu immediately thought of an acquaintance he knew, as now he could only turn to a lawyer.

He quickly dialed Tang Fangjing's number, and before he could say anything, he saw two people rushing over.

"Are you that bitch's father?"
