What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Things happened so suddenly, Old Zhou didn't even have time to stop it.

Old Tang, upon hearing this, spoke righteously, "Judgment Chief, I protest, the other party is slandering me. My fees have always been standard, which is the result of the Bar Association's investigation."

At the time, I didn't take on cases on a contingency basis due to financial risks, otherwise, I would have let them see what sky-high lawyer fees look like.

But you live and learn; from now on, for anything contract-related, Old Tang decided to handle it all on a contingency basis. Imagine how good it would feel if there were a breach of contract liability...

Old Zhou also rapped the gavel "Please pay attention to court discipline, defendant!"

"What are you going to do if I don't, huh? You, the judge, and that guy surnamed Tang are in cahoots!" Liu Zong was already hysterical.

Old Zhou's brows furrowed—he'd lost half his hair over this case—now you're suggesting there's something fishy between him and Tang Fangjing?

If there really were something fishy, the first thing he would do would be to tell Tang Fangjing not to bring up any strange objections during the trial, much less file a counterclaim!

But at this moment, nothing could be clarified. Old Zhou rapped the gavel again: "Court is adjourned."

He then turned and left the courtroom, intending to call the court police to remove the person.

As soon as he stepped out, he encountered several court police hurrying over.

"Hey, Judge Zhou, aren't you in the middle of a trial?" one of the police officers asked.

"Yes, we encountered a problem in the trial, and you are...?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Well, this is a coincidence, these gentlemen are from the Guangming District Criminal Police team. They are here looking for the deputy general manager and legal officer of that online lending company."

"I see..." Old Zhou immediately said, "follow me, I'll take you to them."

Whatever the case might be, the trial break didn't matter—slanderous accusations were one thing, but to use Tang Fangjing as part of the slander, that was something he absolutely could not tolerate!

Meanwhile, on the live trial broadcast online, netizens were boiling with excitement.

A scene like this is what we need; who wants to watch lawyers droning on and on? A fight in the courtroom, now that's interesting.

It's just too bad that the defendant is a bit too timid—go on and have a fight with Tang Fangjing!

Stop boasting about your extraordinary skills online all the time—with a body that is practically falling apart, what could be extraordinary about you? You could be blown away by a breeze.

Just then, they saw the judge come back in, followed by quite a few policemen!

Some counted them, six officers, and were immediately shocked.

"What's this about, a couple of insults in court and six cops show up? Are they going to throw him out of the court?"

"No wait, even the legal officer is being taken away. This isn't just expulsion from the court; the police are here to make arrests, right?" Experience exclusive tales on empire

"It can't be! You insult someone in court, and that's it—I've done the same, and all that happened was getting thrown out. Why are they taking him away now?"

The netizens were very curious, and at the scene of the trial, Liu Zong and Zhang Wei looked even more curious.

"What on earth, why are you arresting me? I have no idea about any contract fraud!"

Next to him, Zhang Wei almost burst into tears from how unfairly he felt he was being treated: "What's going on, I just started my job not long ago, why are you arresting me? Let go of me!"

Liu Zong turned his head, his expression complicated. He knew very well what he had done, but as for the Zhang Wei next to him...

In the middle of speaking, Zhang Wei's struggle grew more intense, and the leading police officer promptly took out handcuffs, which immediately calmed Zhang Wei down.

"Won't listen to a good talking-to, must you be handcuffed?" the officer spoke.

Unlike Liu Zong's exasperation, Zhang Wei, with tears streaming down his face, looked at the struggling Liu Zong and silently judged: drama king...

Sigh, this was how many clients he'd escorted to legal proceedings—his heart had almost become numb.

Meanwhile, inside the company, Gao Minghu was shouting to the police that he was innocent, but the officers didn't waste words and got straight to action after a single warning.

There's no rule stating that a warning must be given three times, whether in the "People's Police Law" or the "Regulations on the Use of Police Equipment and Weapons by People's Police," it is only stipulated that a warning is needed before use.

So don't be fooled by videos and movies; someday, when an officer comes looking for you, they might act after just one warning or maybe two...

Anyway, during the trial break, Old Zhou and Old Tang exchanged a few words and left straight away.

The trial broadcast was cut off immediately.

The netizens were completely confused—what on earth was happening, the trial had not even reached the halfway point!

And at this moment, news suddenly appeared online.

"Guys, go check it out, Tang Fangjing just posted an update—man, I feel like punching someone!"

The netizens hurriedly clicked in, then fell silent.

Tang Fangjing had posted two photos, one outside the police station with a document in his hand that read "Report Evidence," and another in the courtroom with defendant and defendant's lawyer signs conspicuously empty.

The caption read: "Oops, you say in my carelessness I got both the defendant and the defendant's lawyer sent away, what to do now, what about the trial, huh? Alas, you sometimes can't be too strong, or else before you even put in effort, your opponent falls."

In Luzhou, Chi Yan smiled as she looked at Old Tang's post; who cares about showing off or not, Brother Tang was just stating the facts!
