Chapter 137: You can cheat, so why can't I?_3
Chen Jiaquan did understand the law; betting matters are generally not supported by legal systems, for a very obvious reason, just look at the word "bet."
Anyway, now that things have come to this, I'm not apologizing!
On hearing this, Old Tang laughed; he was feeling the pressure, he was rattled.
"Professor Chen, playing tricks with me? Competing with me in craziness, huh? Fine, Professor Chen, if you want to play, then don't back down. Not apologizing, huh? All right then!"
Old Tang turned and took a folded cardboard sign out of the carry-on bag next to him and unfolded it.
On it was clearly written a line: Professor Chen Jiaquan has yet to apologize—Tang Fangjing.
"From now on, every time you give a lecture, have a meeting, or do anything else, I will be standing at the door with this, acting shameless, huh? It's as if nobody else knows how to do that!"
"You can call the police, you can sue; it's all up to you, but as long as I'm alive, I'll keep doing it. Don't stop, definitely don't stop!"
Now that we're at the point of being stubborn, then let's be stubborn. It's indeed very likely that a lawsuit won't be supported.
It could be said that the opponent's previous words violated one's right to reputation and one could sue for a public apology.
But it doesn't matter. Who decreed that problems must be solved using legal means? Who said Tang Fangjing can't be obstinate?
Because he's considered a good person by others?
He never thought of himself as a good person, nor did he ever want to be one. Now that he has the System, it's time to play hard!
Old Tang's voice wasn't very loud, but there was a sense of paranoia in his tone.
Chen Jiaquan looked at the pale face of the young man across from him and suddenly shuddered.
"You, you're fucking insane, aren't you? I just, I just criticized you a little, did it warrant this?" Chen Jiaquan roared there.
Old Tang laughed again, a laugh that made Chen Jiaquan shiver, and then he saw the other party seemed to be pulling something out.
"Professor Chen, I've said it many times, I'm not quite right in the head."
As he spoke, Old Tang took out his ID, and this time he didn't grab the wrong one, the bonafide mental illness certificate, with the latest diagnosis certificate, fresh off the press, guaranteed authentic!
Looking at the certificate and the diagnostic proof, Professor Chen swallowed hard.
He was scared, really scared.
To the young man opposite him, his status, his fame, everything about him meant nothing. What's the use of talking about these to a madman?
If it were an ordinary person saying this, no one would take it seriously, but Tang Fangjing was different; his "madness" was already well known.
If not crazy, who would sue over a thousand people at once? If not crazy, who would travel all the way to Magic City for a few words, not just once but twice?
After much hesitation, Chen Jiaquan finally spoke, "Lawyer Tang, Lawyer Tang, I apologize, an apology should suffice."
The students were already enjoying the drama; and to think Professor Chen actually gave in! Couldn't you have taken a tough stance just once?
But putting oneself in that position, facing such a person, probably anyone would cower, who wants to out-crazy a madman?
"Take out your cell phone and apologize with your alt account; don't think I don't know about it."
Chen Jiaquan's face darkened, but still, he took out his cell phone and began to publicly apologize everywhere, admitting his mistake and pledging to retire permanently from the online world...
"Are you satisfied now?" Chen Jiaquan said with a heavy voice.
"Of course, I'm satisfied. Professor Chen, if you feel aggrieved, feel free to come at me anytime. I'm always ready to continue; still the same words, I'm not right in the head, if you want to play, let's play it to the end!"
Having said that, Old Tang picked up his carry-on bag and was about to leave when he seemed to remember something.
"Everyone took a lot of videos just now, right? Remember, don't show my face, got it?"
After this last comment, Old Tang finally left.
All that was left was an enraged Chen Jiaquan, unable to control his fury and not knowing how to vent it, he could only resort to smashing things.
And so his new phone, purchased just a few days before, was slammed furiously to the ground...
Watching Tang Fangjing leave, the teachers present seemed to finally snap out of it and hurriedly approached, "Professor Chen, are you alright?"
Chen Jiaquan: "..."
The students had already uploaded their videos, joking aside, such juicy drama must be shared with everyone!
Before long, the related videos had hit the internet, and once the students realized, all they captured was Old Tang's back, so it was actually alright.
Online, the betting saga, which had lost its momentum due to Old Tang's hospitalization, received a new lease of life!
"Shock! Lawyer Tang has another private meet-up with Professor Chen offline, moves him with emotion and reason, leading to a public apology from Professor Chen. Details to follow!"
You never know which student came up with it, but the headline grabbed people's attention in no time.
And what accompanied it was Professor Chen's public apology!
"Damn, Professor Chen apologized? I thought this matter was unresolved; never expected Lawyer Tang to pursue it again, much respect!"
"That's the spirit, we need to show these promise-breakers, if you made a commitment, you gotta keep it. If you can't, then apologize properly, not spout nonsense!"
"Seriously, I want to be as persistent as Lawyer Tang, sigh, but reality won't allow it..."
The reason why the matter was highly watched was that netizens had always lacked effective methods for dealing with such issues.
If the other party stubbornly refuses to apologize, you're really helpless; even if you win the lawsuit, if the opponent doesn't apologize, there's nothing you can do.
