What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Jingzhou, Zuo Yunmin came to the leader's office once again, but this time was different from before: the leader, who had always been strategizing behind the scenes, was surprisingly showing fear.

"Zuo, hurry up and issue an apology letter through our account. Make sure it's sincere, you hear? It has to convey our sincerity to everyone."

Zuo Yunmin hadn't been paying attention to online messages in recent days because she was a bit scared of the backlash. Suddenly hearing this, she was stunned. Weren't they supposed to drag it out?

With his eyes closed, the leader said, "That Tang Fangjing, he didn't go to the court, he went straight to the Judicial Watch, you know? He filed a real-name report and even posted the report letter online!"

The leader was genuinely scared; it was the fear of a madman, one who disregards everything.

What kind of lawyer goes to such lengths? It's just about earning some money; why go to such extremes?

Zuo Yunmin, equally shocked, found herself at a loss for words. Could it be that Peng Wanrong had given the company to him?

Things were even worse in The Capital, after all, it was The Capital. Almost on the second day the real-name report letter was released, they publicly apologized, a public apology that went viral on the internet.

"The report was gravely inaccurate and has caused impact to Firebird Technology, acknowledging that the newspaper indeed made mistakes..."

Finally, Old Tang could relax; now the Enforcement Bureau of Jingzhou Intermediate People's Court and the Western District Court of the Imperial Capital were the ones feeling awkward. They hadn't even made a move yet, and the other party had already thrown in the towel.

Now it was time to focus on the massive lawsuit ahead.

With so much time having passed, the netizens must have thought they were off the hook. Let them have a taste of surprise.

In Jingzhou City, Bright District, Fu Xiaoyu no longer wanted to look at the messages online. She couldn't have imagined in her dreams that her little matter would cause such a stir.

The labor inspection department of Bright District chickened out, as did the official media, and now she could even be facing a prison sentence.

Peng Yonghao had been released earlier and this side kept hiding it from him, but he still found out.

"So, you might be sentenced now, is that it?" Peng Yonghao's gaze was complex.

Fu Xiaoyu dared not meet his eyes, but still nodded and said, "That... Lawyer Xun is already working on it. He said there's a good chance the prosecutor's office won't press charges."

"Lawyer Xun? You still believe him, huh? I've already checked online. Even if the prosecutor's office doesn't press charges, you'll still have a criminal record. So, what about our kid? Huh, tell me, what are we going to do!" Peng Yonghao yelled.

Fu Xiaoyu looked at Peng Yonghao and suddenly burst into tears, "You're yelling at me, huh? I'm still carrying your child, and you're yelling at me like this? Why didn't you stop me back then!"

"You were there too, why didn't you speak up then? Is it any use talking about it now?"

Peng Yonghao was choked up and wanted to retort, but didn't know how, because she was being assertive and at the time, he also didn't know that this was illegal...

Now, he truly regretted it, regretted why he didn't accept the company's offer back then. He could have gotten a sum of money, but for some reason, he just thought about securing his position first...

In The Capital, Old Tang put down his phone. The lawsuits against five websites had finally concluded; it had been such a struggle.

But, the work could finally start, and he made a call to Old Wang.

"Hello, Old Wang... ahem, Director Wang, are this year's intern lawyers still at our firm? I've got the results I needed, and we can start the lawsuit now!"

This had been agreed upon earlier. The intern lawyers needed to accumulate case numbers, and there were a lot of cases this time, enough for everyone to get some.

After hanging up, he made a call to a leader at Handong Political Law.

"President Dong, I'm in need of a lot of interns, I guarantee they will be well-involved, and they'll learn a lot!"

After gaining fame, things were easy. He didn't need to run around like he did when suing the intermediary company; he could just have the interns come to help.

Mainly civil cases, to file at Guangming District Court uniformly; they needed to organize materials, prepare the indictment, and so on. Doing it alone was too much for him...

Law students were just right for the job, as they knew the law and were physically capable.

As for the criminal private prosecutions and the police reports from various places, he planned to handle those himself. He would do the dirty work!

...

Almost two months had passed since the incident, and with the New Year fast approaching, Yuan Jiayu had long forgotten the past events.

As a housewife, she was busy preparing the New Year's meals and tidying up the house, welcoming the new year.

"Hey Jianbin, go hang the lanterns, hurry up!" Yuan Jiayu called out at home.

Her husband, Li Jianbin, went to busy himself, and just then, there was a knock on the door.

No one found it strange, as there were already two relatives sitting in the house.

As Li Jianbin went to open the door, he was taken aback; two policemen were standing right there!

One of them glanced inside and spoke up, "Is Yuan Jiayu here? If she is, could we trouble her to come out for a moment?"

With children and relatives at home, the older policeman thought to be a bit more considerate. Enjoy new stories from empire

Yuan Jiayu soon came out, puzzled, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

One of the policemen said, "Are you Yuan Jiayu? We're from the local branch. Following a criminal filing notice from Yang District Court, you're suspected of online defamation, with serious circumstances. We're here to summon you for criminal investigation."

"You can prepare yourself a bit, don't alarm the kids, but you have to come back with us."

As the words fell, Yuan Jiayu was struck dumb: "Huh? What online defamation? I don't know anything about this."

Her husband was equally bewildered and didn't catch on, "Yeah, officer, what are you talking about?"

"What are we talking about, your wife knows perfectly well. The pregnant woman's wrongful termination case, remember? On the streets, in the rain, do we need to elaborate?"

Thunk! The broom in Yuan Jiayu's hand dropped to the ground, and her face turned deathly pale.
