What's wrong with this lawyer?!

And then... the old man indeed drank pesticide and died at the courthouse entrance the next day.

This incident caused a stir in all directions, and the higher-ups started a thorough investigation. The appraisal, which was naturally done for free, revealed that the IOU was forged, but the judge had followed the procedures.

What else could be done? The man was gone, and all they could do was find a reason to discipline the judge a bit, and the leaders would issue a punishment. What else?

As expected, the plaintiff was incarcerated, but he would be out in a few years, whereas the old man had lost his life.

So sometimes Old Tang himself felt very conflicted. He felt upset, which made him want to vent on someone.

He called the Lawyers Association to inquire and Old Cheng from the association told him it would still be a while before going to the countryside.

That made Old Tang even more disgruntled and headachy, he could only ask Wang Qingqing to help him by massaging his head.

Time rushed by and another three days passed; the incident in Lincheng had long since lost its intensity, but Jingzhou was heating up again.

"Brother Tang, aren't these universities going a bit too far? The students aren't attending for free. They paid over a hundred yuan, only to get such poor-quality military training uniforms?" Wang Qingqing commented on the side.

Upon hearing this, Old Tang put down his phone; he had also seen that video. It seemed to be a rant video posted by a student from Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College, complaining about the atrocious quality of the military training uniforms and their hefty price.

On closer inspection of the video, it was indeed very poor quality, and it wasn't just his uniform that was of poor quality, all his classmates' military uniforms were too, and this had been the case for more than one batch.

In fact, it wasn't just complaints about low-quality military training uniforms; the quality of school uniforms had long been a subject of grievance, with some schools' uniforms being exorbitantly priced yet of various poor qualities.

But now, the matter had blown up, mainly because the video was made interestingly, with good spoofing, and coupled with the fact that university students from all over likely had no love for these military training uniforms, the incident gained heat very quickly.

Naturally, the school responded, stating that these military training uniforms were up to standards, and there were no quality issues, and that the school reserved the right to pursue legal action.

"Isn't that very normal? Just look at the school's response. They say military training is meant to foster a spirit of endurance and hardship, so the clothing is definitely not meant to be comfortable," Old Tang joked.

To be honest, when he saw this response, he was taken aback. It can only be said that these days, not only those schools but many universities seem to act brazenly above the rules.

Compared to the endless problems in the upper echelons of society, the 'ivory tower' of higher education seemed to exist in a different dimension.

Not to mention, there have been quite a few incidents of student suicides under certain professors, but when have you ever heard of those professors being affected?

Let alone, the moment there's a slight controversy, schools would start to suppress the narrative; after all, it's much easier to control students than people in society.

Many netizens commented below saying you are too bold not to delete it. Aren't you afraid the school will trouble you?

Everybody has been to school and knows the way schools handle issues. It's always about covering up; no doubt about it.

After all, every university has its legends of "guaranteed recommendation."

In response to this, the account owner didn't reply, regardless, the video was still there.

After that, Old Tang didn't follow up on it. Actually, he was eager to take on a criminal case. It had been a while since he had worked on a criminal case, and he was itching for it.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring Xihong District, inside Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College, Liu Zixu, who had just turned eighteen this year, was facing his instructor, his face red with anger.

"Didn't I tell you to delete the video before? Didn't I tell you to clarify that our school's military training uniforms aren't that bad? Did you make it clear?"

"How many times have I and other teachers from the school communicated with you? Have you listened to us?"

"You haven't listened, instead you went online claiming the school was pressuring you, telling you not to speak out. And now you say this to me? Let me tell you, even if you can stay here, you definitely won't graduate!" Stay updated with empire

The instructor was very angry with Liu Zixu in front of him.

His one video had put the whole school in the spotlight, and the school's leaders personally paid attention, while the logistics side rushed to provide explanations.

Then the counselor notified students in various groups not to post any messages on the internet that would damage the school's reputation, warning of severe penalties on discovery.

With multiple measures employed, they finally contained the situation. Now, the video was still searchable, but after continuous complaints from the school, it had been throttled.

Liu Zixu glared, he had only posted a video online because he felt that the military training uniforms provided by the school were outrageously bad.

The crotch didn't even need force; a slight tug and it would rip, and the short-sleeved shirt he wore on top was practically transparent—you could see right through it.

Not to mention the various loose threads and shockingly bad quality buttons. For this, the school charged each student one hundred and twenty yuan. With that money, Liu Zixu believed he could buy three sets of such clothes.

So, he made a spoof video, criticizing the school's military training uniforms for their terrible quality. The video went viral, and then the school retaliated against him.

Talks were held stating that he would be disciplined, initially saying he was on probation, but it went straight to telling him to apply for withdrawal from the school today.

That is what we commonly refer to as "persuaded to drop out."

Actually, "The Regulations for the Management of Students in Regular Higher Education Institutions" in Article 51 does not stipulate 'persuaded to drop out' as a disciplinary measure. The level above probation is expulsion from the university, but a university rarely expels a student outright, just as employers are reluctant to dismiss employees.
