What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Lawyer Guo was urging Fu Xiaoyu and her husband to apply for a retrial at the High Court. Old Tang took the judgment and left directly; he, of course, knew the situation across the board: it was clear to him that it had already become an industry to them.

The one who took the case was in legal sales, using the name of a prominent attorney from above, but the case was actually done by the junior lawyers below.

Power is only accountable to its source. At this point, the junior lawyer is accountable to the senior attorney above, not to the client. Hence, what the other side initially explained was utter nonsense, not even as good as what Hua Guangxia had said, yet they still insisted on applying for a retrial.

It was all for money; as long as the lawyers are paid, they can go through all the procedures for you.

A lawyer deceiving people can be much smoother than an ordinary person's lies because they are professionals.

The second trial's verdict was quickly publicized by self-media, and then, those stubborn netizens finally showed a hint of loosening, but that was just a hint.

"In wind and rain": Does a court judgment really mean anything? What about the cases of miscarriages of justice? Is the court always fair? It's a joke. A pregnant woman gets fired for no reason, and she loses the case; talk about the rule of law, I'm laughing.

Although she was rebuked by many, she remained adamant, and there were not just a few stubborn people like her who wouldn't soften their stance until they saw the coffin.

Some netizens tagged Fu Xiaoyu and asked her to make a public apology, given the significant influence her previous comments had stirred up. Nevertheless, she didn't mention that she had only worked six days in a month.

In response, Fu Xiaoyu countered on the internet, "Why should I apologize? I don't think I'm wrong. I'm a pregnant woman; is it wrong to defend my rights?"

"Moreover, I've already filed an application for a retrial. If they think I'm wrong, they should seek legal action to protect their rights; bring it on!"

Lawyer Xun is a real barrister. Last time it was because he wasn't there, and that's why we lost. He said I'm all right, so I must be all right!

Two days flashed by, and Peng Yonghao's case was rejected on appeal, upholding the original judgment.

At home, Peng Yonghao looked at the judgment, his face turning green. He really didn't want to apologize, but the words of Tang Fangjing made him afraid again.

Glancing at his wife joking with netizens in front of the camera, Peng Yonghao still dialed Li Wanting's phone.

And then... the phone was turned off?

After trying several more times, he found it utterly unreachable. He had been blocked!

Peng Yonghao was stunned; he had hesitated for a long time about whether to apologize after receiving the judgment. The other party didn't even bother to respond? Did they really want him to be detained?

The answer, of course, was yes. Old Tang had already arrived at the Renmin Road police station. From the conflict that arose during arbitration to the end of the second trial, Peng Yonghao had countless opportunities to apologize, but he didn't.

He chose to resist stubbornly, and now the judgment had come down, he got scared and wanted to apologize? No way!

Although the case was simple, from the filing of the suit to the end of the appeal, it nevertheless took a lot of time: collecting evidence, issuing inquiry orders to examine surveillance footage, and requesting the arbitration officer to testify—all these involved costs.

After so much effort, now a mere apology is supposed to solve it all?

However, the main reason for coming to the police station this time was another matter.

Old Ge looked at the report in his hands, somewhat puzzled: "Fu Xiaoyu, infringement of personal information?"

"Yes, she posted screenshots of Li Wanting's photos, her online platform accounts, the law practice she worked for, and her contact information on the internet."

The latter posts were made during a second edit, probably after realizing that all those details were on Tengda's official website, and posting them herself wouldn't be an issue.

However, according to Article 3 of the judicial interpretation on the crime of infringement of personal information by the Supreme People's Court, providing personal citizen information to designated individuals, as well as publishing personal citizen information through information networks or other means, should be identified as "providing personal citizen information" under criminal law.

Similarly, still under the provision of Article 3, providing legitimately collected personal citizen information to others without the consent of the person from whom it was collected also falls under "providing personal citizen information."

As for the severity of the circumstances, since this behavior triggered cyberbullying, this is already considered a "serious" situation, not to mention that after several days of cyberbullying, Li Wanting didn't even dare to go online, and she was too afraid to switch on her work phone.

It significantly affected her life and work. She couldn't sleep at night and was anxious, but those were the least of her worries.

Old Ge glanced again at the materials in his hand. As for administrative penalties, that was easy to say since the court had already made a judgment; the main issue was the incorrect jurisdiction.

As for this crime of infringing personal citizen information, he was unsure on his end.

"Lawyer Tang, we'll accept this for now. As for whether or not to file a case, that will have to depend on the review by our department. Also, regarding that administrative case, you'll need to go to the Nanshan Road police station; it's out of our jurisdiction," he said.

"Okay, no problem," replied Lawyer Tang.

Old Tang left the police station and headed straight for the Jingzhou City Intermediate Court.

The department of labor inspection's administrative penalty also had to be dealt with truthfully: whether their penalty was more formidable, or the court's judgment held more weight, he genuinely wanted to know.

Maybe the two sides could have it out...

Of course, this administrative litigation was not only about demanding the cancellation and return of the fine but also included a claim for administrative compensation!

Because of this penalty, Phoenix Company faced significant operational disruptions, naturally leading to losses, which were calculated by a third-party company.

Two hundred thousand, not a lion's share, but let's see if the department of labor inspection will compensate or not. After all, the director said that after this event, she didn't want to run the company anymore.

"I'll just shut down the company; then all your departments, however powerful you may be, can no longer touch me. I'm really tired this time."

Labor inspection, tax authorities, market supervision—these are the three heavy hitters when it comes to running a company. When all three take action together, it's honestly a lot of pressure.

So, knowing the other party's intentions, Old Tang went all out; he's the type that fears things being too trivial.

At the Jingzhou Intermediate Court's case-filing division, the staff member looked at the complaint in their hands and said with some confusion, "Lawyer Tang, this... aren't these litigation demands a bit..."

Demanding acknowledgment of fault, refund of the fine, restoration of reputation, elimination of influence, and compensation for damages...

Not to mention others, just the acknowledgment of fault and compensation for damages alone are tough; everyone knows it's difficult to admit a mistake oneself, let alone for relevant departments.

If it were really that easy, there wouldn't be cases like 'mouse heads and duck necks'...

"Just go with that; have a look and see if you can file the case. If you can, file it; if you can't, just let me know directly. No problem, right?" he pressed.

He was in a hurry; he still had to make another trip to The Capital, absolutely had to take that state-owned media outlet down!

They shouldn't think they can just freely publish articles without responsibility just because they're under a certain banner. Close the comment section, and all is forgiven? He was determined to make them feel the heat!

Anyway, Tang Fangjing was not one to back down; if he didn't take on a challenge, he went all in.
