Chapter 136: Professor Chen, Do You Admit Defeat! (Two in One)_2
Old Tang was momentarily stunned and quickly flipped backward through the pages; indeed, the content he had skimmed with his skill was thoroughly understood. He could describe it all in his own words after a single glance.
This skill was really not so simple after all!
No, he needed to stay calm. Old Tang quickly flipped forward again. He wanted to see what the content he had previously read was like.
Perhaps it was because he had deeply understood the latter content that by association, his understanding of the earlier content had also deepened significantly, though he didn't quite have the feeling of complete mastery yet.
If so, this skill was a bit overpowered since it implied that his learning of new knowledge would reach an unprecedented level.
Although there wasn't much time now—ten minutes wasn't enough to read much material—little by little, Old Tang had a premonition that gradually, he would be able to persist for even longer.
How could System Daddy possibly let me down, we're so familiar with each other.
Putting down the "Guide to Mental Illness Relief," Old Tang took out the mental health professional books he had roughly browsed before without delving into them.
It seemed that it was still necessary to study hard; he had to solve his own mental issues
That so-called expert in mental illness even said my system was fake, but my terminal cancer is real, right? If the system were fake, wouldn't I have been goner a long time ago?
President Lei didn't even need to worry about it.
Online, Professor Chen was still setting the narrative, and lawyers everywhere were still doing case analysis.
In Magic City, Tong Junyi, a lawyer who had been practicing independently for three years, was live-streaming.
Online, you know, with a bit of makeup and the addition of technology, everyone looks pretty much the same. Anyway, it made sure that there was no doubt she was seen as a beautiful lawyer.
"As for that case by Lawyer Tang Fangjing, I've studied it for a few days and honestly, there's no good solution. Look, it's not a case of surrendering to authorities, nor is it meritorious service, and there's no letter of forgiveness."
"It meets none of the standards for a lighter sentence, so I'm really puzzled why Lawyer Tang would take on such a case; perhaps he's just not skilled in criminal law."
Tong Junyi's analysis was meticulous and, coupled with her beautiful appearance in front of the camera, many in the live-streaming room praised her in various ways.
"Lawyer Tong's analysis is too good. I'm also a law student, and this case is unsolvable. It just shows that Lawyer Tang is a bit arrogant. His work in labor disputes is indeed good, but his criminal defense is genuinely poor."
"+1, I don't know what Lawyer Tang is thinking, taking on a case like this under these circumstances. Usually, the defendant wouldn't actively appeal; it must have been the lawyer stirring things up..."
Similar live streams and videos were plentiful, with many cautious lawyers analyzing the case thoroughly before making any statements.
They all felt that a reversal was impossible, as Old Han had said—if that happened, he would eat Oreos live on air.
In this atmosphere, Old Tang received a summons from Jingzhou Intermediate Court. The hearing was scheduled for three days later.
He had naturally seen the messages online. Professor Chen and many lawyers were all commenting. Many had grown wise and did not launch attacks on Tang Fangjing personally, but just discussed the case instead.
But it didn't matter. In the end, lawyering comes down to real skills, and Lawyer Tang Fangjing, I have that talent! Continue your adventure at empire
After some thought, he took out his phone and posted a message under his account:
"I haven't been online for days, and I never expected that taking on a criminal case would cause such a big discussion. I think it's good; it proves that the public's legal consciousness is improving."
"However, many people say that I, Tang Fangjing, shouldn't have taken this case, that there was no need to appeal. In particular, Professor Chen—I'd like to make a bet with Professor Chen."
"If my appeal still results in the same sentence, then Professor Chen wins, and from then on, I will permanently withdraw from the internet and never make any public statements."
"But if the sentence is reduced after the appeal, then it's my win. Professor Chen doesn't need to withdraw, just come to Jingzhou, apologize to me properly, and admit your mistake. How about that? Do you dare to bet?"
Always blabbering on like you know so much—if that's the case, let's make a bet.
As for the issue of case leaks or attempting to influence the trial with public opinion, it wasn't Tang Fangjing who leaked the case details. That can be investigated freely.
Regarding public opinion's influence, so far, it hasn't formed much of a consensus; it's just a small part of netizens here and there saying killers shouldn't get their sentences reduced, and so on...
No sooner had the betting invitation been posted than the previously bored netizens suddenly became interested!
Honestly, most netizens don't care about the specifics of the case or what will happen with the appeal.
If the case didn't involve Tang Fangjing, they wouldn't pay much attention to it.
But now it was different—Lawyer Tang was making a bet with Professor Chen!
This was the best kind of entertainment online, even better than verbal sparring—it was real excitement, and the netizens absolutely loved this kind of fun; they hoped nobody would back down!
When Ju Haiqing got up today, his plan was to write 20,000 words. But as soon as he turned around, he saw such news.
He didn't feel like writing anymore; watching the entertainment was far more enjoyable.
Most importantly, he didn't believe Lawyer Tang would lose!
To Ju Haiqing, Old Tang was the kind of lawyer who simply wouldn't lose, someone who had everything under control. And since he dared to make such a bet, he must have the confidence.
