What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Director He, you guys have a chat, I really do have things to do. There are seven or eight thousand cases filed at the sea district court."

Having said that, Old Tang turned and left, leaving behind three people sitting there, dumbfounded.

After a long while, Judge Wang finally spoke, "Director He, as you can see, they won't budge, so let's prepare for the court session."

Director He sighed, feeling completely overwhelmed, but with Judge Wang there, the trial should not be too embarrassing.

Just as he was about to get up and leave, Yue Wenying, who was sitting next to him, suddenly picked up her phone and said, "Director, Judge Wang, look at this quickly!"

When they all leaned in to look, they were immediately stunned.

Just one minute ago, Tang Fangjing posted a status update: "I've sued the ** newspaper, @OpenCourtLive, how about it, Xiao Ting, set up a wave? I think this is going to be interesting."

Looking further down, the number of likes was frighteningly high, and netizens were almost unanimously supportive of this move.

"He's really taking on that newspaper? Old Tang is awesome, that's exactly how it should be done!"

"Nothing more to say, Xiao Ting, you take care of it."

Netizens love to watch a big fuss, and the thing is, Old Tang's troubles were always big!

He had just sued over ten thousand people, and now he was taking on official media, insisting on live-streaming the trial to boot!

What to do? They glanced at each other. The thing they feared most had happened, and frustratingly, they were powerless to do anything. The other party simply stated that they had filed a lawsuit without disclosing any details or demands.

And the act of filing a lawsuit is itself a public one.

It's trouble now, real trouble.

But there was nothing they could do. When the other side wouldn't be reasoned with, what could you do, arrest them? Let alone with what reason, this was The Capital!

A media outlet doesn't really have that much clout, not to mention Tang's physical condition...

The two quickly looked at Judge Wang, whose face looked even worse.

"I can't do anything about it, live-streaming the trial is a separate matter from us..."

Now they really were out of options. They could only think about winning the case, not needing to see the trial to know that it would definitely be broadcast live, with popularity that would surely go off the charts...

Meanwhile, Old Tang casually returned to his hotel. Originally, he disdained posting online, but since the other side had made their move, he just went with the flow.

It would be best if he could win the case at the first instance.

He planned to return to Jingzhou tomorrow, where the administrative lawsuit with the labor inspection authorities was about to go to trial, and it was not yet determined whether it would be live-streamed.

So after giving it some thought, Old Tang posted another status update.

"Oh right, there's another one. Xiao Ting, do you want to take them both on at the same time?"

As the status update went live, the netizens were completely boiling with excitement.

Ju Haiqing from Jingzhou was lost for words as he looked at the news online; he felt that Lawyer Tang now seemed to have a death wish.

Look at those opponents; they were all out to really offend others to the death.

And online, netizens felt the same way.

"Your Thought of a Shady Path": Lawyer Tang, take it easy, though everyone wants to see these big events, you really shouldn't be so impulsive.

"The First Soldier to Crawl In": I'm genuinely fearful of waking up one day to find Lawyer Tang stabbed seven times in the back, committing suicide. Isn't this a bit too much? Where is the lawyers' association?

"I Like to Stir the Pot": I also think it'd be better to live stream just one, right? After all, there are still those over ten thousand accounts...

In Luzhou, Chi Yan lay on the sofa scrolling through the news. Brother Tang was still the same; whenever he handled a case, he would tell the parties involved not to show up and would mock the opposition himself...

Even her own case was the same.

But those people just went to prison, they didn't die. What would happen if they sought revenge after getting out...

In Jingzhou, Zuo Yunmin almost smashed her phone looking at another piece of news online.

What did official media do to you that you're pushing for a live broadcast? We didn't say anything, we didn't even call you.

Now we're frantic, not knowing how to handle the upcoming trial, still thinking about trying to mediate, and yet you're setting up a live-streamed trial?

Are you planning not to stay in Bright District anymore?

But complaints were of no use now. The Open Court Live happily watched the fuss unfold, immediately posting an update: Xiao Ting received, live broadcasts for both cases will be scheduled, everyone remember to come and watch on time!

With the update released, netizens were as jubilant as if celebrating New Year's, although most of them were only interested in the outcome... but that didn't stop them from enjoying the spectacle.

And for Open Court Live, letting netizens watch trials was just a job well done.

Unless it's a special case, the more popular it is, the better, don't you know anything about legal education!

Repeated attempts to contact Tang Fangjing having failed and Peng Wanrong having chosen to disappear, the day of the trial finally arrived.

Outside the Jingzhou Intermediate Court, Zuo Yunmin and a public attorney from her department, Xiao Zhao, saw Tang Fangjing for the first time.

Holding onto the last shred of hope, Zuo Yunmin approached and said, "Lawyer Tang, about our matter..."

"Fulfill those demands, and I'll withdraw the lawsuit. Otherwise, let's go to trial. Actually, I suggest you do. After all, it's not clear how the judgment will turn out," Tang replied.

Stunned, Zuo Yunmin and her colleague stood there, not understanding where the other party's confidence came from. Administrative lawsuits were notoriously complicated!
