What's wrong with this lawyer?!

I don't know how big this case can get, but Bright District needs a shock!

In fact, Director Zheng was still hard-headed when he first went in, claiming he misspoke earlier and that his relationship with Lv Zhizhang was just standard business cooperation.

However, the Public Security Authorities quickly found a plan and a recording on his phone.

The recording was about Lv Zhizhang previously explaining the design in the company, and the plan... it was just the conversion of the recording's content into text.

Yes, old Lv was all kinds of savvy, teaching Director Zheng how to record privately, and unbeknownst to them, their conversation was fully recorded.

So the people from Guangming Sub-bureau came to the Detention Center and interrogated Director Zheng again.

"So, you deny all these, right? Zheng Limin, let me remind you once more, those who confess are granted leniency and those who resist face strictness. Even if you don't admit it, we can still handle the case without your confession, you know?" the interrogation officer said solemnly.

But Director Zheng remained silent.

He was no fool to have reached such heights; on the day of the arrest, alcohol had revealed his true nature, but now he said nothing.

Director Zheng believed he had powerful backing and connections, so he shouldn't confess once inside, otherwise even his uncle couldn't save him.

The interrogation still yielded no results.

What Director Zheng did not know was that his uncle had already been given the same treatment as old Chang.

Old Chang, weeping profusely under extreme psychological pressure, confessed everything, and don't ask why there was such pressure...

Those who have been officials and ended up inside would definitely understand.

The more the case was investigated, the bigger it grew. The projects Director Zheng took over the years were not for nothing; such municipal projects really could make anyone rich.

So Bright District's investigation came to a stop, Jingzhou City took over, and then Director Zheng's uncle became a performance statistic.

Although the weather was slowly getting warmer, it still felt very cold, and on an especially frigid day, Director Zheng in the Detention Center saw his lawyer again.

This was a life-affairs lawyer from a lawyer group in Modu; these types of lawyer visits weren't primarily about the case, but more about delivering messages.

"So, my uncle... my uncle has been placed under detention?" Director Zheng asked the lawyer in front of him, looking pale.

The lawyer nodded: "It happened a few days ago; they took him away during a meeting."

Director Zheng collapsed like a deflated balloon. He kept denying everything inside because he thought his uncle could save him!

But now they've taken away the foundation itself, even his uncle has been placed under detention.

The lawyer didn't know what to say. Life-affairs lawyers are usually good at consoling people, but now he was truly at a loss for words.

So the visit ended, and Director Zheng admitted everything, spilling the beans as it were.

Lv Zhizhang was also holding on staunchly since he was in his probationary period when he did these things. If found to have committed another crime, he would be punished both for the original sentence and the new crime concurrently.

As soon as the investigators showed him the recordings and the plan, Lv Zhizhang was taken aback, and then he vigorously cursed Director Zheng for being an imbecile. He lamented how unlucky he was to get involved with such an imbecile...

Jingzhou had a small tremor of its own.

Old Tang didn't care about the gossip anyway, now that he had Danger Perception and two more uses of the Resurrection Armor, he really wasn't afraid.

Wang Wenyan's family came to the law firm to express their gratitude multiple times, especially Wang Wenyan's parents, who brought over some local specialties which old Tang accepted graciously.

Even though he didn't need them, accepting the gifts was the only way to put their minds at ease.

Watching the happy family, old Tang felt very pleased with himself; if Lan Baosheng had truly been sentenced to seven years, this family might have been shattered.

Sometimes, the feeling of helping others is genuinely pleasant.

However, old Wang was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment.

He had been implementing his grand plan for some time now, the announcement of reduced profit shares for the law firm had already been made, and basically, Tengda's profit distribution could be considered the lowest in all of Handong Province.

The matter of providing lawyers with the highest standard of social security and housing fund is in progress, though it's already been announced.

Nothing has been said about the tourism team-building activities yet.

But still, everyone in the law firm kept addressing him as Director Tang Fangjing, which was becoming unbearable for him.

The key issue is, in the past few days, old Wang felt there was something fishy about next door's old Tang.

It was as if whatever he was thinking, the other party could see right through him. Am I, old Wang, so shallow now?

Does everyone know what I'm thinking?

I thought I was being covert; I never showed any signs of competing with old Tang for the directorship, so how come it feels like everyone knows about it!

No, this can't go on, old Wang thought. This year's spring recruitment is about to start, and the new people coming in need the proper training; leave the old staff out of it.

Meanwhile, Wang Jing in Modu was still matching wits with her advisor.

After winning the last bet, she issued three more paper requests to her advisor: basically, write first, and she will let him revise after.

She planned to send back all the voice messages her advisor had sent her!

If she and her mentor ended up harming each other in their battles, that would have been fine, but Wang Jing's senior brother has been losing sleep for days, as he wants to pursue a doctorate and is stressed over revising papers.

Amidst such an atmosphere, Wang Jing saw the spring recruitment notice from Tengda.

She had already decided to go to Tengda after graduating, so she didn't hesitate to apply this time around. Her paper was actually almost ready and met the requirements; it was just that old Du kept picking at it needlessly.
