What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The company started to make an effort, not wanting the Consumer Association to get involved.

The originally decided strategy of President Liu to drag out time got comfortable, as the higher authorities wouldn't be applying pressure anymore.

So, by evening, netizens who had been eating melons all day finally saw the announcement from the Consumer Association.

"It is unclear whether the suspension of online games involves public interest, and there are no previous precedents... The Consumer Association has already organized the legal department to discuss this, and will organize experts to deliberate on this case. To avoid wasting funds for rights protection, we will not initiate a public interest lawsuit for the time being..."

"As for the online rumors that the game company is infringing on the interests of unspecified consumers, the Consumer Association has already intervened in the investigation..."

In essence, suing was out of the question. Don't ask, the answer is there are no precedents, and whether it involves public interest is still uncertain, requiring thorough study.

As to when this study might yield a result, who knows? We have always continued working and initiating a public interest lawsuit is not a legal imperative, besides, it also saves the society money.

As for the disputes you mentioned, they can be resolved in various ways and don't necessarily require filing a lawsuit, right?

Once the announcement was released, netizens were actually fine with it, knowing full well what it entailed.

However, inside another game company in Magic City, someone was puzzled, "No way, what's up with this Consumer Association? They aren't suing?"

The narrative online was set by them. On one hand, a public interest lawsuit could strike at their competitor Meitian, while on the other, once the lawsuit was halfway, they could help mediate, thus resolving the issue directly.

Who could have expected the Consumer Association to pull the delaying tactic?

A colleague shook their head, "Not sure, maybe Meitian has applied some pressure?"

The middle-aged man didn't want to talk anymore, thinking damn teammate pigs, couldn't even coordinate such a small matter...

The netizens were getting into their melon-eating frenzy, while on the other side, Jingzhou Lawyers Association, having been targeted and sprayed all day, finally issued a statement, a very simple one:

"A case investigation has been initiated against Tang Fangjing of Tengda Law Firm!"

With this announcement out, the online trolls also breathed a sigh of relief. They had only set the agenda, and the heat that followed was spontaneously driven by the netizens...

It could only be said that Old Tang had helped many people over the years, and he had offended quite a few as well. With such an opportunity, everyone was certainly ready to kick him when he was down.

He wasn't going to die anytime soon, so preventing him from practicing law was fine, saving everyone the hassle of dealing with him like a troublemaker every day.

No one attacked him from the angle of mental illness because only when he was deemed incapable of conducting civil conduct could he not practice as a lawyer, and having a mental disorder is not equivalent to being incapable of civil conduct.

Both crises were averted, and Old Tang kept sending materials non-stop to the Internet Court.

Thanks to the advantages of online trials, what might have required carrying who knows how many briefcases of documents could now be turned into a small file, swished away with ease.

But Ren Xiaopei at the Internet Court was about to explode, just today alone she had looked through god knows how many materials, truly sickening.

The class action had been filed for quite some time, it couldn't be dragged out any longer, and a trial had to commence.

As for the subsequent reviews, they actually didn't have much to do with the class action lawsuit itself. Judgment is judgement, and review is separate.

In such an atmosphere, even Old Tang himself didn't realize how many people were infuriated by this notice!

In Jingzhou, Sister Lian, whose husband had already recovered and been discharged, looked at the content on her phone and had her face turn red with anger!

People like her who had been truly helped by Tang Fangjing refused to believe that he would do anything to break the rules and disrupt public order.

Regarding those real-name reports, honestly, Sister Lian didn't think much of them; after all, such reports were common online.

But to her surprise, the Jingzhou Lawyers Association actually decided to initiate an investigation!

This was something these people couldn't accept. Sister Lian quickly grabbed her ID card; she was going to the relevant departments in Jingzhou to complain!

Like Sister Lian, many others had the same reaction. The group of construction workers from before, the homeowners of Victoria Gardens, Old Liu the chairman of Yuefu Residential Complex's homeowners' committee, and Elder Wang and other residents...

A bunch of people gathered at the petition office, startling the employees there, who were astounded to learn their purpose...

He had worked there for so long and had seen all kinds of situations, but this was a first; these people actually came for a lawyer!

The petition office could accept suggestions...

That was easy, much simpler than dealing with unfinished building complaints.

He just wondered what expressions Jingzhou's judicial department and the Lawyers Association would have upon receiving these materials...

On the other hand, in a hotel room, Wang Qingqing looked at Tang Fangjing, who had been working overnight for several days and was now catching up on sleep, then looked at her phone, thinking hard. She finally decided to post the situation online. It shouldn't be Tang Ge's fight alone.

Since it was for the benefit of countless gamers, everyone had to stand up!

So she posted Tang Fangjing's previous demands to the gaming company and the relevant departments, the call to set regulations for this vague field, online.

Accompanying it was a screenshot of Tang Fangjing being under investigation by the Jingzhou Lawyers Association.

Furthermore, there was one more sentence: Those who carry wood for others should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow.

Wang Qingqing now had quite a few fans. Her update was hardly out before the comments began to explode.
