What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"Lawyer Tang's memory is really too good!"

Netizens posted screenshots of the trial video online, commenting, "The whole trial process lasted two hours, and Lawyer Tang pretty much talked non-stop. Yet, he never once looked at the materials on the desk."

"Seriously, after watching it, all I can say is damn, his memory is just too damn good!"

The netizens below were equally astonished; a two-hour trial without glancing at the materials once, and not a single factual or legal error was made—that's just impressive.

Inside the law firm, Old Tang laughed at the news on the web; the display of showboating had worked out rather nicely for him.

After all, he had already input all the contents of the case files into the system panel beforehand, and could see them directly while speaking, so of course he didn't need to flip through the paper materials.

There was no task for this case, but Old Tang was thrilled. He loved such cases that directly hit his G spot, the kind that thrilled him to the skies.

After all, life shouldn't be all about tasks; too much tension is bad for the health.

Old Tang didn't bother with the online chatter about the memory thing; he was using a shortcut, not any real skill.

Now, the thing to do was to rest for a few days and see if any new cases came up for some excitement.

However, Old Tang didn't realize that when netizens hype someone up, they tend to go over the top.

A lawyer, and now the whole internet is raving about his memory?

This situation became too much for some people to bear.

...

Yan Zhiheng, last year's memory champion—the kind who won awards in contests—was a professional in the field of memory.

Ordinarily, he had nothing to do with the legal industry, but today he went online only to find that so many people were touting a lawyer's memory!

This got under his skin.

Memory competitions are quite niche, almost no one pays attention to them.

Even when he won last year, he didn't get nearly as much praise, and now suddenly, a lawyer goes off-script in court, and the hype starts?

Moreover, some people were using him to take a dig, prompting Yan Zhiheng to post a message on Weibo.

"Some people, eh? Just be a lawyer, don't dabble in other areas and clash with professionals, not to mention telling netizens, don't casually challenge the expertise of others, don't try to match the skills that others rely on for their livelihood!"

After the message was sent out, some of Yan Zhiheng's supporters began to hit back as well.

Such niche areas always have their die-hard fans, and they too couldn't stand the relentless hype about Tang Fangjing's memory.

So after Yan Zhiheng made that statement, his fans began to comment.

"I think Teacher Yan is so right. Don't use your hobby to challenge a profession. Why do people think a lawyer can have better memory than a memory master?"

"Right, Tang Fangjing is a good lawyer, I admit, he's impressive in court, but is it necessary to praise him for this? It's so embarrassing to watch, can't he control his fans?"

"Maybe he's happy about it, look at the previous trial broadcasts, Tang Fangjing always looked at the materials, but this time he suddenly didn't, it could be a publicity stunt..."

...

In Jingzhou, Old Tang got up from bed. He had a meal with colleagues from the law firm yesterday but didn't drink.

After all, it was now late-stage liver cancer; if he wasn't going to die, that was one thing, but to drink carelessly would be too much.

Last time it was too wild, but fortunately, only Old Wang and another colleague knew. They both thought that he, Tang Fangjing, was probably not doing well and was in the state of wanting to indulge in whatever he felt like eating.

The phone kept ringing, and upon answering, he found it was the other colleague calling.

"What? Another issue has cropped up? No, what's this memory thing? I don't know anything about it."

After hanging up, he wondered why he had attracted the attention of a memory master.

Best to log in to his account and clear the air.

He logged into his account specifically to send a message, telling netizens to drop the subject. He just knew the case very well, so he didn't need to look at the materials, and he apologized to Teacher Yan.

After clearing the air, Old Tang shook his head; it was just one thing after another.

Forget it, it was time for a hospital visit again, and also to get another mental evaluation from the specialist.
