What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Wang Jing was so infuriated that she nearly smashed her phone when she realized she had been blocked and couldn't reply.

Meanwhile, at the Tiannan Law Firm in Jingzhou, the firm's director Wang Feng put down his phone. Tengda had been expanding too quickly lately, and that wasn't good. Jingzhou couldn't have such an impressive law firm.

Over at Dafeng Law Firm, Old Han chuckled disdainfully as he watched the situation unfold online. He could guess with his butt what person was stirring things up again.

"No skills to compete for clients, but quick to use such despicable tactics," Old Han said aloud. "Do they really think toppling Tang Fangjing will leave the field open to them?"

How Han Chengli had suppressed Tang Fangjing back in the day was straightforward, relying on real skills to get things done.

If Tang Fangjing lacked the skills and couldn't pass the assessment, then he deserved it. But if he was talented enough to refute every examiner, then there was nothing to be done.

The assistant nearby spoke up, "Director, do you think Director Tang will come out to explain this time?"

Old Han responded, "Explain? When have you ever seen Tang Fangjing explain anything? He only uses his actions to prove everything. Forget it, those people won't be able to cause any waves..."

But after a moment's hesitation, Old Han still took out his phone, "Hello, it's Han Chengli. I suggest we have a meeting at the lawyers' association..."

Ah, Wang Daming, oh Wang Daming, truly one lucky bastard. Why did Dafeng Law Firm have to be located here? Why couldn't Dafeng just set up near the Yuefu Residential Complex instead?

"Who was it that decided to set up the law firm's office here?" Old Han suddenly stood up and roared.

The assistant was dumbstruck, wondering what Old Han was getting worked up about this time.

Just like Old Han expected, Old Tang naturally wouldn't go explaining these things. What was said didn't matter; it was all about how things were done.

On June 17, another beautiful morning, Old Tang rose from bed. He checked the legal calendar: good for arrests, the death penalty carries out immediately. Not bad, today's a good day.

Time-wise, the Changlv County Court should also be making a move. It was time to visit Changlv County today.

Before doing so, Old Tang took out his phone to make a call.

"Hey, Old Song. I've got some people you could contact for me. Right, see if they're interested in getting rid of their criminal records. If so, we could talk."

On the other side, the Changlv County Court received instructions from the Lincheng City Intermediate Court: The village committee can be a subject of corporate crime!

With these instructions in hand, the court leadership breathed a sigh of relief. With guidance, things were easier to manage. Of course, the higher court directives typically wouldn't be explicit in the verdicts.

Usually, it was stated as a decision by the court's adjudication committee, as courts are supposed to be independent in their judgments, even though everyone knows about the practices of "inquiry" and "approval," with corresponding regulations at the Supreme Court...

But after all, regulations are one thing, and it's quite another in practice where cases are frequently decided according to higher court's instructions.

There was once a case where the provincial high court's resistance to a sentence was based partly on: "The case was judged by the lower court following instruction from the higher people's court without a legal basis."

And what did the provincial high court say? "Upon review, there were no instructions from the higher people's court in this case; the first-instance court made the verdict after the judicial committee meeting... in compliance with the criminal procedure law."

In plain language, you claim I decided guilt based on instructions, but after checking, well, there were no such instructions...

Regardless of the details, the Changlv County Court now had its verdict: The village committee of Erhtou Village was suspected of corporate crime, which meant it was time to take people into custody.

For corporate crimes, typically both the legal representative and those directly responsible are considered criminals. With five members on the Erhtou Village committee, the court had swiftly prepared the relevant documents and then handed them over to the police, who were responsible for taking action.

Meanwhile, Section Chief Jia received the materials and couldn't help shaking his head; Attorney Tang was truly formidable. So, it was time to act.

The police were powerful, but they didn't have the authority to approve arrests; that power lay with the courts and the prosecutor's office.

Come noon, Ding Detu was at home, eating lunch in Erhtou Village, when there was a knock on the door.
