Chapter 223 Old Wang: There's always some damn thing trying to steal my thunder!_2
President Lei, I could forgive, but Director Ding was armed with a gun, and had already fired it, proving it was the real deal.
Apart from those concerned people, another voice emerged online asking why, after Lawyer Tang's petition had been submitted for so long, and now with Lawyer Tang seriously injured and on the brink of life and death, the thirty-one cases still had no results?
This topic immediately attracted countless netizens, and of course, many were still there to watch the drama unfold.
After all, everyone knows that dragging your feet has become the trend these days, just drag it out and it'll be fine.
In the past, once public opinion died down, the issue would fade away, and it was difficult for a matter to become a trending topic a second time. In fact, there are all kinds of rights protection incidents every day, but few make it to the hot search.
Not to mention making it onto the hot search a second time.
But ever since Tang Fangjing rose to prominence, that tactic simply doesn't work anymore.
Because it seems he was born with the ability to draw the attention of online public opinion.
Take this instance, the higher court was initially just spectating because, think about it, the scandal Lincheng caused this time was no small matter. Someone out on bail fired a gun, which could be said to necessitate a major purge.
Reasons didn't matter; anyone involved couldn't escape and had to assume their responsibilities.
Then suddenly, the focus shifted to the high court, and the public opinion storm grew shockingly large within moments.
In the words of the netizens, Lawyer Tang is now lying between life and death, he ended up like this because of these matters, and you have no results yet—if Tang Fangjing dies will there finally be an outcome?
These words carried sharp accusations and felt eerily familiar...
Oh, the high court finally recalled, it was similar to that unfinished building in Bright District, what was it, Victoria Gardens? It was supposed to be difficult to push forward with, until Tang Fangjing was hit and sent flying by a truck.
This time seems to be no different. Out of thirty-one cases, even if you halve that number, fifteen wronged, falsely accused, and incorrect verdicts were enough to give Lincheng's political and legal system a headache.
The higher court obviously wouldn't resolve it so easily; stability trumps everything.
But now, the situation is similar to before. Tang Fangjing is lying in the hospital, life hanging by a thread—if he dies without seeing results, what would the consequences be...
Public opinion is sometimes useless, but at times it's surprisingly effective.
Therefore, amid the boiling public sentiment, the high court urgently issued a notice, saying the case was complex and needed time, promising results within fifteen working days. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Finally, the netizens were satisfied. Although they didn't get an immediate response, an immediate response under such circumstances would indicate a problem.
After all, netizens always have plenty of arguments. If you give an immediate response, does it mean you've had the results all along but deliberately withheld them? Such intentions are condemnable...
This was a situation where everyone was astounded by the outcome. Wen Weilin became a top internet sensation overnight, trending massively, but of course, he didn't take any ads, nor did he start live streaming anything.
Because once again, he received a call from his superior, asking him to come to the office.
Wen Weilin made his way to the office, and there he heard something from his superior.
"Wen, what are you doing? When you do something good, you should be commended. Why are you thinking of resigning? As a judge, you should serve the people well. Why resign out of the blue?"
Unexpectedly, his superior was persuading him not to resign.
But Wen Weilin had already made up his mind to resign, as it was the inevitable choice the moment his identity was exposed.
The superiors hung onto him because they didn't want to be criticized by netizens.
For the netizens would believe Wen Weilin was forced out, completely disregarding his own explanations.
Isn't there a saying? Netizens support their idealized version of you, not the real you.
Old Tang was so popular because netizens suddenly found that he seemed just like the person they envisioned.
He didn't smoke, didn't drink, didn't indulge, had no ambiguities or relationships with any woman, didn't endorse products, didn't live stream, didn't harvest "leeks" to make money. Every day, he just helped people fight for their rights, risking his life, and sometimes didn't even ask for money...
He was simply everyone's idealized love!
What an idealized love was like, Ding Deshui's wife had no clue. She was at Lincheng City's specialized mental hospital taking care of her son when she abruptly learned of this news, like a bolt out of the blue.
After so many years of marriage, she thought she understood her husband. He was bold enough to earn and take any kind of money, but she believed he didn't have the courage to kill.
However, he really did go and kill, and even used a gun.
She dared not tell her son because, since being admitted for treatment, his condition had slightly improved. Telling him this would surely drive him mad again.
How did such a peaceful life turn into this disaster?
Of course, if you're talking about going mad, the public security organs of Lincheng City and Changlu County responsible for granting Ding Deshui's bail were genuinely on the brink of insanity.
Dammit, initially detained for deliberately damaging property, he started confessing without prompting, revealing all those deeds, and the problem spiraled from the county bureau all the way to the city bureau.
