What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 552 - 182 Old Zhou: Tang Fangjing, you really deserve to die! (Make up for missed updates)_3
Just then, Old Zhou’s senior-friendly phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw it was a call from his son.
"Hello Dad, I’ve got news. Remember that thing we talked about? They’ve just put the money in your card—the 500 for the shopping, and they’ve added another 1500 as compensation!"
What? Old Zhou was stunned for a moment, then overwhelmed with joy, and hurriedly shared the news with those around him.
"Yeah, that’s right. My son checked with the bank. They compensated me 1500 and refunded 500, a total of 2000! I only spent a few tens of dollars in Dongshan..."
The auntie was dumbfounded. They actually got the money back? And there was extra compensation?
She had made a scene at the town government offices, and they were so hassled they just agreed to try to make the other party refund the money. But now, they were actually handing out compensation?
Regret, this was the moment of true regret, her guts wrenching with the feeling. She wondered why she hadn’t gone herself at the time. Then she could be getting the money directly now.
No, she had to make a scene again. She had to get that money for herself!
The same scenario unfolded in many villages. Those who had registered all received their money.
And those who hadn’t registered were filled with regret. Some slapped themselves, while others prepared to head to Dongshan County—they wanted to find that lawyer and ask if there was still a chance.
Others ran to the government departments, making a racket and demanding, "I don’t care how, but you must get me that money. Why can everyone else get it and not us?"
"Don’t talk to me about the law. I just want the money!"
Of course, the money that had been paid out was just the "return one, compensate three" compensations.
As for the lawyer fees, the Jingzhou Lawyers Association and the court were handling that. Old Tang didn’t bother with it.
However, Old Tang did emphasize to the judicial bureaus of both counties to make preparations early while the person was detained. Otherwise, it would be hard to claim the rest of the money.
He had done his part; as for the rest, there was only so much a single lawyer could do.
Still, to be on the safe side, Old Tang left Dongshan County and headed back to Jingzhou.
As for legal education... There’s no need to say more; the results were already good enough.
The plan was initially for a month, but now it had been over three months, and the previous case had reached only two hundred percent completion unexpectedly.
Logically, he should have delved deeper, as a mere office director wouldn’t have the gall to demolish forcefully, let alone get physically aggressive...
So Old Tang didn’t expect too much. It was already great that his lifespan had been added to his account. Now that he was back to three years, he could afford to enjoy his time more leisurely.

In Xiping Village, Xue Lingling’s reputation skyrocketed. The villagers were all singing her praises. After all, anyone who could get their money back for them was a good leader.
It was just that, looking at the villagers, Xue Lingling thought of Tang Fangjing and the chaos in the other villages...
At that moment, she finally understood that saying Tang Fangjing often mentioned: "The path lies beneath one’s own feet."
At the police station, Officer Chang saw the outcome of the case and sighed with admiration. Lawyer Tang really pulled it off.
It was just that, the Lawyers Association was footing the bill, he wasn’t taking a penny, yet he was still so dedicated to his work... Officer Chang was truly at a loss for words.
He was one of those who truly had no self-interest at heart, truly a banner of Jingzhou!
...
By the time Old Tang took the bus back to Jingzhou, it was already past five in the afternoon. Emerging from the station, he saw Wang Qingqing, dressed in fitted clothes, waiting for him.
"Tang Bro, you’re back. Why are you dressed so lightly? I told you it was going to get much colder..."
The young lady kept talking, at least appearing to be very concerned.
This is what you call "the early bird catches the worm." As long as she, Wang Qingqing, was the assistant, those other glamorous hussies stood no chance against her!
Back at the law firm, Old Wang was overjoyed, immediately announcing a team dinner for that evening!
After Old Tang left, Dongshan and Jingnan Counties were a mess, and the pressure at the grassroots level increased significantly. It was impossible to reason with them; you talk about legal avenues, and they accuse you of passing the buck...
Only Dongshan County Court was ecstatic because their case was approved as a guiding case by the Supreme Court.
A county court actually produced a guiding case; they definitely had to make a big deal out of that!

Another New Year holiday arrived, but the courts had to continue as usual, with staff on duty.
Old Zhou, having narrowly escaped disaster, felt revitalized. Mainly because, after a lifetime of service, he had not seen many classic cases, and he would feel unfulfilled retiring without them.
The Xihong District Court’s Old Yan still dared to mock him, as if they were any different.
But... Old Zhou now dreaded looking at the internal network’s promotions, yet he had to.
Then he saw a heartbreaking heading.
"Good news! Dongshan County People’s Court... case selected as a Supreme Court guiding case!"
Old Zhou felt a dull ache in his chest. He didn’t want to see it, but the day had come regardless.
Though he knew from the Supreme Court’s public statement that this case would certainly be selected as a guiding case, why did it have to be in Dongshan County Court?
Tang Fangjing, it was all Tang Fangjing’s doing. Both of the guiding cases involving "defendants paying lawyer fees" this year were his work.
Who is this guy? He files lawsuits in Bright District Court en masse, thousands at a time, to no avail, only emphasizing quantity.
It led to one-third of the judges ending up in the hospital.
And yet, whenever he went elsewhere, there were all sorts of guiding cases. Honestly, Old Zhou was numb to it.
