What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"There's no 'what if,' I know my own body. I could live another hundred years without a hitch, and since I lit the fire, I should be the one to extinguish it!"

Old Tang had been hospitalized, and outside the Han Dong First Hospital, quite a few people had already gathered.

Don't get it wrong, they were not there to pray for Old Tang. They were a bunch of vultures, just waiting to see when Tang Fangjing would die!

They wanted to spread the news the moment it happened, to fill everyone's bellies with Tang Fangjing's corpse!

Just twenty minutes ago, they were fresh from spreading the message that the well-known lawyer, Tang Fangjing, had been in a coma for several days and was now being resuscitated in the hospital.

Anyway, the internet was already boiling over. When Old Tang was about to kick the bucket, no other news could compete with this story in terms of heat.

The people who had been trying to link the lawsuit compensation to the unfinished buildings were completely dumbfounded. They had racked their brains and finally managed to stir up this issue, but then, all of a sudden, Tang Fangjing was about to 'croak'?

It's not that surprises are bad, it's just that this particular surprise was extremely inconvenient.

However, it would do. As long as Tang Fangjing died, that would fundamentally solve the problem, because there would no longer be a special existence like him.

Even those who didn't like Tang Fangjing had to admit that the man named Tang was truly exceptional.

The pressure from public opinion in Jingzhou suddenly vanished, leaving the leaders somewhat befuddled.

Yet while the netizens online hadn't even had the chance to express their feelings, another piece of news arrived from Han Dong First Hospital. Continue reading stories on My Virtual Library Empire

Tang Fangjing had awakened, his condition was good, and he would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow...

What the heck? Not only were the netizens speechless, but the vultures waiting outside wanted to curse. How could he wake up again, and in such a short amount of time no less!

The influencers, who had been holding up their phones until their arms ached, couldn't help but exclaim, "How could he come back to life again? Wasn't he supposed to die? And now he's alive again?"

"Exactly, damn it, we've been waiting here for nothing."

The influencers cursed and swore, trying to latch onto the buzz, but they got nothing. The news online had spread faster than they could.

Although Old Tang's "comatose revival" was short-lived, it effectively wiped clean the original narrative dominating the internet. People still talked about how the developer's compensation would impact the delivery of houses, but it wasn't as heated anymore.

Time quickly moved to the next day. Old Tang headed straight to the Jingzhou Lawyers Association. Today, he was going to meet with the higher-ups to see what they were thinking.

In Changyi District, inside the Yashi branch office, Deng Erfeng was on the phone again. The situation had worsened too quickly. Just yesterday, he thought Tang Fangjing was a goner, but unexpectedly, the bastard had sprung back to life!

Why didn't this guy just die? Always stirring trouble like a shit-stirring stick. If it weren't for Tang Fangjing, would the Yashi branch have ended up like this?

The head office in Magic City had only one message: resolve the issue without damaging Yashi's reputation.

"Director Xu, I truly have no solution. The money is hard to get now. Director Xu, could you see if the head office can come up with another plan..."

Director Xu on the phone did not respond and hung up directly. Deng Erfeng's face revealed utter dejection. He figured... he was probably about to be abandoned.

All the executives in the company are expendable, even if he had become Han Dong's largest executive. When it's time to let go, there would be no hesitation.

So, what to do now?

While he was pondering, his secretary came in with a phone in hand and said, "General Manager Deng, the Intermediate Court just issued a notice. All cases regarding us are now under the jurisdiction of the Changyi District Court!"

"And that Tang Fangjing also posted an article online!"

What? Deng Erfeng hurriedly took the phone to look, and instantly, everything before his eyes turned dark. It was no surprise that the Intermediate Court took over jurisdiction since the cases were too scattered. But Tang Fangjing's article was like a killing blow to the heart!

"I just represented a case involving a deposit a while ago. The defendant was Yashi Company. We won, and Yashi has to pay 400,000 in compensation, but they have yet to comply. Do you know why?"

"The reason is that Jingzhou Yashi's accounts have no money, their funds are in a supervisory account. I don't know why some would say compensation from Yashi would result in unfinished buildings. Money in the supervisory account can't be touched, you know?"

"So, no matter how much money is demanded now, it ultimately has to come from the head office. The local branch office has handled everything properly, not touching a penny from the supervisory account. How could there be any unfinished buildings then, right?"

"As for the head office in Magic City, with such a large scale, they surely can't be unable to furnish this small amount of money. In other words, if they can't even provide this little amount… well, you can imagine the outcome."

The total target amount added up to just over thirty million, after all, it was only penalty fees and couldn't be calculated simply based on double the deposit.

Old Tang listed in the article a detailed breakdown of costs for a neighborhood project, something he was very familiar with from representing the Victoria Gardens Neighborhood.

With that comparison, project costs are usually calculated in the billions. How many neighborhoods does Yashi have across the country? What's thirty million to them?

Old Tang's point was clear: if they couldn't even produce thirty million, then what were you homeowners doing online, cursing me? Hurry up and check the supervisory account. Prepare for your rights to be defended! Don't let someone transfer out the money from the supervisory account without you knowing!
