What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"This case is yours. If you don't handle it, who will? Start by communicating, and if all else fails, we'll discuss it again."

Judge Liu couldn't hold back: "Leader, I don't have the skill for this, I can't do it."

After several attempts to persuade him, the leader could only say: "Alright, alright, I'll stick with you when the time comes. Honestly, you young people shrink back as soon as you encounter a challenge..."

"It's not like we wouldn't enforce the ruling for him. Can't we just wait for the appeal result?"

Judge Liu remained silent. If you're accompanying me, then I'll definitely have no problem doing it.

On Thursday morning, Lawyer Tang received a phone call and subsequently headed back to the Execution Bureau.

"Lawyer Tang is here! Come, come, have a seat and have some tea." The leader, Zeng Maoshan, warmly welcomed him.

Lawyer Tang sat quietly, glanced at the leader, then at Judge Liu, and asked: "So, what's the current situation? Are you going to enforce the ruling today?"

Judge Liu remained silent, pretending to watch the scenery outside. Zeng Maoshan cleared his throat and said: "Well, Lawyer Tang, let me explain the situation to you first."

"This case of yours is based on the right to information. Over the past couple of days, we've had several communications with the opposing party. They have now filed an appeal, and Hanxi Provincial High Court has already filed the case."

"So, the situation now is this—if we enforce the ruling, naturally, you will be informed of the investigative results. However, if the case is retried and overturned, then there's no way to reverse the implementation. Wouldn't you agree?"

"Therefore, after communicating with the opposing party, we're thinking of waiting for the appeal decision first. If the retrial fails or is dismissed, we'll enforce the ruling immediately. What do you think about this?"

While Zeng was speaking, Lawyer Tang remained silent, watching him as he started drinking water. Only then did Tang ask: "You finished talking?"

Zeng Maoshan froze for a moment but still nodded: "Yes, I'm finished, Lawyer Tang."

Lawyer Tang responded directly: "Alright, then let me share my opinion. I do not agree with your perspective. I want the ruling enforced immediately. That's all I have to say."

Zeng Maoshan's expression immediately changed, but he still replied: "Lawyer Tang, why do you disagree? I've laid out the situation for you so clearly."

"There's no 'why.' I simply disagree. An appeal does not affect the validity and enforcement of a ruling. That's one of the most fundamental principles of law, so why should I agree?" Lawyer Tang replied expressionlessly.

Zeng Maoshan, his face darkened, said: "Lawyer Tang, if you are confident of winning, then isn't it just a matter of waiting for a little while longer..."

This time, Lawyer Tang didn't let him finish and cut him off directly: "This judge I don't know, and Judge Liu—this is your final resolution for this, right?"

"Fine, so be it. I'll head out now."

Having said that, Lawyer Tang stood up and began walking out. At this, Judge Liu panicked.

"Wait, Lawyer Tang, wait a moment! This isn't the final resolution. Please don't rush—wait!"

Judge Liu eagerly chased after him. Seeing that Lawyer Tang was ignoring him entirely, he became anxious and exclaimed: "Today—it'll be today. Lawyer Tang, I'll take you there today and enforce the ruling on-site. Is that acceptable?"

He was truly desperate. As the presiding judge of this case, it was impossible for him to disassociate himself from it.

Especially since he had earlier reached out to some professors at Hanxi University of Political Science and Law for advice—people who had informed him that Tang Fangjing was the kind of person who might hang himself at the Execution Bureau's gates while holding a rope!

This was someone who genuinely didn't see his life as his own. He couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen if such an event unfolded. The thought alone was terrifying.

Therefore, Judge Liu hurried to intervene, under no circumstances allowing such a situation to occur.

Of course, Lawyer Tang wouldn't actually do something like that—he wasn't foolish. There were countless ways to put one's life on the line, and suicide was the most senseless and desperate choice.

While his death might generate significant public attention, the buzz would ultimately fade, leaving nothing behind.

It's when the archer draws the bow without releasing the arrow that the intimidation is at its peak. When the arrow is shot, all is over.

Finally, under Judge Liu's endless promises, Lawyer Tang stopped.

Zeng Maoshan had also chased after him. He hadn't realized earlier that his words had spiraled out of control, but now, after considering the consequences, there was no need for further explanation—if Tang Fangjing posted this online, it would cause them a world of trouble.

After all, in theory, the Execution Bureau was obliged to enforce the ruling. If the matter were exposed publicly, everything would have to strictly follow legal procedures.

Learning of Judge Liu's promises, Zeng Maoshan also had to nod in agreement before promptly reporting to the leadership.

At the top level, the leaders were equally at their wit's end. Both sides presented unique circumstances, and now it boiled down to which side presented the greater challenge.

No hesitation—Tang Fangjing was chosen.

After all, Hanxi Construction belonged to a completely different organizational system, whereas Tang Fangjing could directly impact them.

With leadership approval, everything became easier. The Court Police team was instructed to round up people for an on-site visit!

Of course, this was primarily for show—a last-ditch ultimatum, really—not a genuine attempt to judicially detain their chief executive...

On the other side, Hanxi Construction was dumbfounded upon receiving the report. Leader Tan Lizhong was stunned.

"The Execution Bureau came directly? And they even brought Court Police? What are they doing—have they gone mad or what?"

Or perhaps, was Tang Fangjing's intimidatory power truly that great?

At this point, despite his reluctance, Tan Lizhong had no choice but to comply.

"Old Ma, go notify the legal department and have them make a copy of the investigation report for them. Such a trivial matter causing such a big spectacle!" Tan Lizhong declared.

He himself wouldn't make an appearance—it would be too humiliating.

Consequently, shortly after the Execution Bureau arrived, the legal department produced the investigation report.
