What's wrong with this lawyer?!

```

After being dazed for a while, he finally began to type with a wry smile, "Stop scolding, stop scolding, you're driving me crazy. From now on, whatever Lawyer Tang says goes, and I absolutely won't say another word."

Meanwhile, inside the court, the judges had already left and the defendant had been taken away. Professor Chen got up and headed straight for the door, not wanting to stay another minute.

The students all kept quiet, knowing that Professor Chen was like a ticking bomb at the moment.

However, just then, a voice rang out.

"Professor Chen, why the rush? What's your take on this case now? Let's hear it."

The voice was loud enough to be heard by everyone in the gallery, and suddenly, everyone stopped and turned to look.

Who was that, the students wondered, glaring at the speaker with annoyance. Bringing up the topic that should not be mentioned, are they seeking death?

To their surprise, they saw that it was Lawyer Tang, who had now positioned himself right by the gallery.

Old Tang was all smiles, as if he genuinely just wanted to discuss the case with the other party.

"What's the matter, Professor Chen? Not convenient to talk? You had plenty to say online, lots of comments. Why are you silent now? Come on, share your wisdom; let me hear it."

With that sarcastic tone, Old Han walked out with his head down, secretly glad it wasn't him.

Professor Chen was fuming, his face so dark it was frightening. They were all in the legal field, and with his high status, others would normally yield even if they were right.

But Tang Fangjing seemed to be raving mad, unwilling to let go once he had the upper hand, and he was always hitting where it hurt the most...

Just then, Professor Chen spotted Han Chengli walking out with his head down. Out of desperation, he blurted out, "This... The case was given to me by him, isn't he the attorney from the first trial?"

Old Han: "???"

Dammit, you're just throwing me under the bus?

The spectators turned to look again, with one of them saying, "Isn't that Director Han from Dafeng Law Firm? Oh, he's the attorney from the first trial?"

"Then how did it end up with a ten-year conviction? What kind of skill is that..."

"But why did he hand over the case to Professor Chen?"

Old Tang similarly looked at Old Han, chuckling, "Hey, Chairman Han, long time no see. So you were the attorney for the first trial of this case."

"Tang, Lawyer Tang, I just... I too was thinking..." Old Han couldn't figure out what to say; the situation was too awkward.

"No worries, no worries. Director Han just wanted to discuss the case with Professor Chen, it's all right. But, Director Han, what's your take on this case?"

"Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang is indeed formidable, stronger than me, much stronger..." Leaving those words behind, Old Han quickly made his exit, unable to show his face.

With a dark expression, Professor Chen said, "I have no comment, you Tang Fangjing are amazing, okay?!"

After saying that, he too walked away. Old Tang didn't try to stop him, merely saying, "Professor Chen, remember to honor your bet when you get back. Of course, if you don't, I can't do much about it, after all, you're an expert with a reputation."

Professor Chen stumbled but didn't look back.

Old Tang then went back to pack up his things, though he had barely used any of them.

The system panel is really something else. Those protagonists in novels from his past life never really explored its features properly, clearly not knowing how to live.

After he had packed up, Old Tang greeted Song Dakang and his family, then slowly walked out of the courtroom, humming to himself:

"I am but a mellow man from Wolong Ridge..."

Meanwhile, at Tengda Law Firm, Old Wang was already beside himself with excitement.

"Once Lawyer Tang is back today, let's have a firm-wide dinner, my treat. Everyone eat to your heart's content!"

Old Tang had a big reputation, but many insiders considered that reputation unearned through the proper channels.

Getting stabbed or run over by a construction truck could be seen as accidents; they didn't prove the ability of a lawyer, only that you're bold.

A lawyer should prevail through their own skill. No matter how grand the reputation, it's not acknowledged by the industry's top professionals.

But this case is different; it's sure to be passed down through generations.

For a normal lawyer to have even one opportunity in their lifetime to change the course of events solely through their skill was more than enough.

Old Tang returned to his office at the firm, but online discussions about the case were far from over.

That heartless 'color revolution' enthusiast started making comparisons again: the titles of the first-trial defense lawyer, the defense outcome, the titles of the second-trial defense lawyer, the defense outcome...

Without comparison, that might have been the end of it. Put side by side, however, the contrast was stark.

Netizens didn't care if you were caught off guard or whatever; you simply seemed inferior to others.

Old Han was dragged back into the spotlight, as netizens said, "If it's all the same ten years, even I could do the job," mocking him for supposedly being a top attorney.

Planning to make an appearance, he ended up exposing his backside instead.

Old Han locked himself in his office once back and began smashing things; even after seeing those comparison charts and throwing his phone, he was still so vexed he continued breaking other things.

As for Professor Chen, there's no need to say more; his account nearly turned red from all the mentions and private messages online.

Eventually, Professor Chen deactivated his account, but he never apologized.

Some people, you see, value their pride above all else. To get them to apologize, it would take an extremely dire situation; otherwise, they'd rather play dead than say sorry.

So, people started mentioning Old Tang again, asking if he could find a way to get Professor Chen to apologize.

Amidst this atmosphere, another matter quietly began to take over the trending searches.
