What's wrong with this lawyer?!

In a small district of Xihong District, Yu Erming was brooding in his room, playing a game, though in fact he was hardly in the mood for games.

No one expected that what started as a mere line-jumping incident would escalate to this extent.

The mere thought of Lawyer Tang speaking indifferently about being stabbed or hit by a dump truck filled him with fear.

It wasn't about how loudly you shout or threaten to kill someone to appear fierce, it was clear that he was far behind others in that regard.

In the living room, Wu Xiaozhen was busy, calling one relative after another for advice, then coming in to scold her son occasionally.

Just then, her phone rang, and Wu Xiaozhen hurried to answer it.

"Hello, Mediator Hu, yes it's Yu Erming's mother. How's the situation now? Eighty thousand is no problem, we fully agree!"

"My son can apologize too, he will definitely apologize!"

Wu Xiaozhen felt that they were showing enough sincerity now, and thought the other party should be after the money.

However, what Hu Xinqin said over the phone made her heart sink.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Wu, the other party won't agree to a mediation."

Wu Xiaozhen's voice rose an octave, "Why not? Isn't eighty thousand enough? They were the ones who put forward that demand!"

"If eighty thousand isn't enough, how much do they want?"

"Ms. Wu, please listen to me, they aren't talking about the money now, they just said they won't agree to a mediation. I don't know what they're thinking; I'll need to talk to them some more," said Hu Xinqin.

"But, Mediator Hu, what's really going on? Is it Ju Haiqing who doesn't agree?" Wu Xiaozhen asked through gritted teeth.

"Ju Haiqing has now entrusted all matters to his lawyer, so we can only contact the lawyer. Ju Haiqing himself is not taking any calls."

"Anyway, I'm just letting you know the situation, and your family should consider what to do next. It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester," Hu Xinqin went on to say.

After the call ended, Wu Xiaozhen looked at her husband and said, "What do we do now, Old Yu? Yu Erming definitely can't go to jail!"

Yu Hangshang, one after another, smoked his cigarettes and finally said, "Let's go see that lawyer, his name was Tang Fangjing, right? I remember he has a big reputation online."

"We'll go see him first, find out what's going on, and if that doesn't work, we'll pay him directly. If he won't do it, we'll go find Ju Haiqing!"

They knew the address and contact information, for sure.

Whether it's civil litigation or private prosecution, one must write detailed contact information, identity information, addresses, and more on the complaint.

Plus, when suing at the court, one has to print out several copies of the complaint. The extra copies, known as the copies of the complaint, must be delivered to the defendant.

So, as long as you sue, the other party will definitely know all about you, including personal information and address.

With a decision made, the couple, along with Yu Erming, made their way to Tengda Law Firm in the Bright District.

Inside the law firm, Old Tang was busy preparing case files; he had a few other cases to handle.

Just as he set down his work and was about to get up for a stroll, he saw his assistant, Wang Qingqing, come in.

"Brother Tang, there is a couple and a young man outside, saying they are Yu Erming's parents and want to see you. They said you're familiar with their case," she said.

Oh, so they've come to me. Well, let's meet them and get this over with so they can give up hope.

"Let them in."

The couple entered the office and immediately saw Tang Fangjing sitting behind the desk.

Wu Xiaozhen forced a smile, "Lawyer Tang, we wanted to ask you about that matter, how should it be dealt with?"

"How much does Mr. Ju want for him to agree to mediation?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tang glanced back at Yu Erming, shook his head, and said, "We're not going to mediate. Let the court decide as it will, even if it results in an acquittal, we'll accept it."

Wu Xiaozhen tried to say something, but Old Tang continued, "After all, your son has threatened to kill us, and I am someone who frightens easily and can't stand being threatened."

"So, let's not discuss this further."

Tang Fangjing's words left no room for negotiation, and Yu Hangshang, who was about to light a cigarette and then retracted his hand upon seeing Old Tang's reaction, said, "Lawyer Tang, it's not such a big deal, really."

"Look, you've been running around for this case. In addition to the eighty thousand compensation, we'll give you thirty thousand more, what do you think?"

"And my son was just speaking impulsively at the time, now you see he truly realizes his mistake... you, come here, apologize to Lawyer Tang!"

The last sentence was meant for Yu Erming.

Yu Erming, clearly still reluctant, came forward and said, "Lawyer Tang, I know I was wrong..."

"No need, last time you also said you realized your mistake, then you start threatening as soon as we asked for eighty thousand. How can I be sure he knows what he did was wrong now?"

"Let me repeat, no mediation is possible, and you don't need to talk about giving eighty thousand. Not even eighty million or eight hundred million would change that. Also, don't give me any money; I still want to continue as a lawyer."

An plaintiff's lawyer privately accepting money from a defendant to facilitate a settlement is a serious matter; those whom I would offend would step on me immediately. It would not just be the end of my career as a lawyer; if it were serious enough, I might end up having to see President Lei.

And I'm not like those foolish lawyers...

And to speak of foolish lawyers, there are plenty of them. Some people think that because lawyers understand the law, they seem immune to breaking it.

They don't consider how many lawyers go to jail each year for illegal activities or even crimes.
