What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Let me remind you all: don't assume Lawyer Tang only invites lawyers from Jingzhou. Lawyers from other provinces like us are equally willing to help..."

Previously, this wasn't feasible because there was no money and no one leading the efforts. Now, it's different. Lawyer Tang provides the funding and shoulders all responsibilities, so everyone can act without concerns.

Everything is so harmonious. Meanwhile, inside Tengda Office, Old Tang lies quietly in a reclining chair with his massive handbag placed next to him.

"This time went really well, and we even blazed a new trail. Should I head out for another trip now?"

"Remember that news online? There was a place where workers collectively left their posts after work hours. Later, they said there would be investigations and reforms. Should I go and take a look?"

"There are some other places worth checking out too..."

"But, for now, let's continue lying here. Besides, I really need a mission right now."

Behind him, Wang Qingqing was gently massaging Old Tang's head. Finally, the man had returned.

Old Tang is back, and it feels like Tengda suddenly regains its backbone. By the afternoon, several lawyers came to lodge complaints.

This has become his routine after every return. Lawyers working on cases often run into various issues, and if they feel wronged, they can come and report them to Old Tang.

If Old Tang determines the opposing party is at fault, he'll take over the case himself.

But if he reviews it and believes the problem lies with the Tengda lawyer, well, sorry—this lawyer won't stay at Tengda anymore. Tengda has no place for such people.

By the afternoon, Old Tang began meeting people one by one. Zhang Wei was the first to report his work.

"Boss... Director, I heard you recruited a new lawyer during your trip this time?" Zhang Wei hurriedly asked as soon as he sat down.

He initially wanted to call him "Master," but quickly corrected himself, remembering to use the more formal title during work.

Old Tang chuckled, "Yes, that lawyer reminds me a bit of the old you. For the sake of winning cases, he tends to improvise and overlook criminal law. But he really aligns with Tengda's values, so I recruited him."

"Well, what about you? Tell me—how's that last case going?"

Zhang Wei immediately set aside other thoughts and replied, "That case has entered a retrial now, but there's significant local controversy. Some people believe that premeditated, prepared killing doesn't count as legitimate self-defense..."

Old Tang scoffed, "That's all they can think of? What do they mean by premeditated, prepared killing? It's clearly prepared self-defense."

"What else could she possibly do? Must the woman wait until she's being raped, suddenly summon all inner strength, grab a knife, and fight the man to death for it to qualify as legitimate self-defense? That counter-kill case was years ago, yet they still treat self-defense so rigidly?"

"Alright, keep working on it. If it still doesn't work, I'll take over!"

After Zhang Wei, Li Wanting came in, followed by Old Wen. Each one entered to receive Old Tang's guidance.

It wasn't until evening that Old Tang wrapped up most of the daily matters. He then said, "Qingqing, bring me the case files from these past few days to review."

Case files were brought over, and Old Tang began carefully combing through them. The cases he handled were usually more challenging, but considering even the recent criminal trial didn't trigger any missions, the subsequent cases had to be more troublesome to qualify.

He read through them for a long time before closing the files. These cases could mostly be handled by other law firms, making it difficult to find a fitting one.

Better check the dashboard again—maybe some private messages there might hold interesting cases.

If nothing comes up, then he'll go out to visit those places claiming to enforce "comprehensive reforms and improvements." Might as well, considering there's free time.

While scrolling, Old Tang suddenly paused. He'd discovered a private message in the dashboard. If what this message says is true, then this case could be quite intriguing.

It seemed somewhat reminiscent of that delivery rider back then—injured while working, yet completely clueless about whom they were working for.

...

At the barbecue stand downstairs from Dafeng Law Firm, Old Han was already drunk and bragging nonstop.

"You guys have no idea—those staff members there look so miserable, like I owe her money or something! You know what kind of person I am, right? But I still didn't argue with her!"

"Haha! Now you've seen it, right? Old Tang's video—that's partly my credit! When Old Tang needs cooperation next time, you'd better put your best foot forward, got it? Don't embarrass me!"
