What's wrong with this lawyer?!

He paused, then added, "You'd better go take care of your business."

The older brother left without saying a word. He had naturally heard of Tang Fangjing before. This person... wasn't normal.

Old Tang also sighed. It's true that the work at the grassroots level is busy and tiring, but there are always some people who, taking advantage of their little bit of power, make life difficult for others.

Especially the older ones. Nowadays, the youths are better. Their concepts are new. For the older ones, those deep-rooted ideas make them feel as if not making things difficult for someone doesn't highlight their own status.

Having reviewed the material, the young police officer then said, "Lawyer Tang, what are you planning to do about this matter? The judgment already states that he should make a public apology and compensate."

"Yeah, the court did rule that, but it doesn't conflict with your administrative punishment."

"It's not that, my point is, since legal avenues have already been taken, if the other party... "

Old Tang interrupted, "Comrade, let's not talk so much. Look, I have ample evidence right now, and I don't wish for mediation. If you think you can't handle it, just give me a notice of case non-filing, and I guarantee I won't come to the station again."

"That won't be a problem, right?"

The young police officer, having heard of Old Tang's reputation, knew that if they gave him that, he would immediately go for administrative review. If the issue escalated, it would be even more troublesome.

"No no no, Lawyer Tang, we can file the case, we can file a case."

After his talk with the young police officer, Old Tang left the Nanshan Road police station and made a detour to the sub-bureau. If he hadn't seen all this, he would have let it be.

But having seen it, he would certainly lodge an official complaint. Without any animosity, why would they need to do this? Why couldn't they just follow the procedure, instead of saying they can't manage it, when it's not even their business to handle.

In a matter of three days, time flew by. At the start of the third day, Old Tang received a call from Jingzhou Intermediate Court, deciding to file the case.

Well, that was more like it. Now that it was settled, he could head to The Capital. Glancing at the internet, it seemed no one had ever dared to directly challenge the state media...

Those media outlets have a much higher status than some labor inspection departments!

Old Tang couldn't stand their cold handling. When it was time for them to drum up attention, they would heat things up. After all, the state media naturally had this advantage. Once the heat started, the whole net would boil, and the parties involved would be in agony.

But when the situation turned around, they would start cold handling, closing the comments section and playing dead, ready to spread rumors at the drop of a hat but running ragged trying to refute them. Even if the parties had proven their innocence, it was useless.

You couldn't reach the same level of attention as before. Your so-called vindication will be watched by virtually no one. People only want to see you spill your guts.

As for proving, after opening up, that you've eaten a bowl, they don't want to see that. The bloody mess isn't interesting...

And now, Tang Fangjing wanted to break this pattern. Why should it be that when setting the tone people can generate such high heat, but after proving their innocence, they still can't shake off the influence!

Having bought the plane ticket, he headed straight for The Capital!

Meanwhile, at home, Peng Yonghao and Fu Xiaoyu were having their first argument since they got married.

"I just don't get it. Can't a grown man be a little more positive? We were just meeting up innocently. After all, he gave me so many gifts, wouldn't it be rude not to see him in person?" Fu Xiaoyu exclaimed.

She had gone to meet a top-ranked big brother, truly just for an innocent meeting and meal, but Peng Yonghao found out and couldn't refrain from starting an argument.

"Do you think I don't know what those men are thinking? Let me tell you, Fu Xiaoyu, only a man truly understands another man. You're pregnant now, can we please stop being internet celebrities?" Peng Yonghao said once again.

"How come I never noticed how petty you are before? If I don't be an internet celebrity, we'll rely on your earnings? How much can you earn? Your monthly salary is less than what I make in a day!"

Fu Xiaoyu's words left Peng Yonghao speechless.

It was an unsolvable problem. Having grown accustomed to making quick money, she could never go back to the days of earning a regular salary.

Right then, someone knocked on the door. Peng Yonghao, with a belly full of anger, pulled it open, ready to say something, only to see two police officers standing at the door.

"Are you Peng Yonghao? We're from Nanshan Road police station. Regarding your previous act of slandering Li Wanting, we have now issued an administrative punishment."

"The decision is to detain you for three days and fine you five hundred yuan."

Upon hearing this, Peng Yonghao was stunned—his worst fear was coming true.

The fine was nothing, but he couldn't handle those three days of detention. He hurriedly said, "But comrade, I've decided to apologize. Can we not..."

"No way!" the police officer said. "The other party already said they won't agree to any kind of settlement, so you'd better come with us."

Facing someone like Tang Fangjing, there really was nothing to be done. If they delayed handling it, who knew what he might do.

The key point was that all his actions were within the legal framework. He rigorously followed each procedural step, making it impossible to even accuse him of causing disturbances.

The auxiliary police officer, Old Bai, had already been disciplined. He very nearly lost his job, all because he didn't realize that just those few words would lead to a direct official complaint to the division's disciplinary department...

Peng Yonghao looked at his wife at home, then thought about his own past actions and started to cry. He felt it wasn't worth defending his wife like that. Now, after she had become an internet celebrity, they were fighting over fans. He felt it was truly unworthy.
