What's wrong with this lawyer?!

After getting that reward, my fighting skills noticeably improved a lot!

Not to mention all those longevity rewards, without them, I would have kicked the bucket long ago.

There's so much evidence, it's just that there's no way to prove it to others.

Thinking this, I casually pinched myself, just like before, I could feel it, but there was no pain sensation, the doctors are all alarmists.

I remember, initially, it was under the torment of pain day and night, unable to eat or sleep properly, and having to complete tasks to survive, which led to my nerve weariness and all kinds of anxiety, and only then was I diagnosed with a mental illness.

Now that I have Pain Shielding and there's more than a year of life remaining, my condition must have improved for sure.

As I was pondering, my phone rang.

"Hello Lawyer Tang, this is Lian Hongyu, is now a good time to talk?"

Old Tang glanced around and noticed that the people nearby seemed to be avoiding him, strange.

"Of course, go ahead, what's the matter?"

Indeed, the people around were avoiding him. The young man walking on the street suddenly started pinching his own arm furiously, to the point where he only stopped when bruises formed.

And he was still smiling; no wonder people were scared.

"Lawyer Tang, the developer has contacted us, saying they want to hold a symposium and have a good talk with us, seems like they invited quite a few people, others have told you, right?"

Huh? Old Tang was baffled, "No, I haven't heard of this, when did this happen?"

"I received the news today; the symposium is scheduled for this weekend. I wanted to discuss with you what to do, have the others really not mentioned it? That's odd, I heard the developer started notifying a few days ago."

Lian Hongyu didn't understand why others who knew didn't tell Lawyer Tang.

Did they really think they could negotiate something with the developer?

If those scoundrels had any shame, the houses wouldn't have been left uncompleted in the first place.

After sharing the situation, Old Tang laughed, "That's normal, Sister Lian, don't be upset, it's not necessarily anything against me, they just want to hear them out first and weigh their options."

I, Tang Fangjing, am quite open-minded about these things; when there are too many people, things tend to change.

Because human hearts are fickle, especially those who are easily influenced, they think one person makes sense when they hear them and another person makes sense when they hear someone else.

It's like the idiom 'a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth'; the more people talk about it, the more others start to believe it.

"Sister Lian, rest assured, they won't come to any significant agreement. The housing estate has been unfinished for years; people aren't fools, unless the developer offers some real benefits, I don't think there'll be many who would trust their promises."

There will definitely be those who believe.

In a forest so big, there are all kinds of birds. Despite everyday anti-fraud campaigns, many still send money away for a mere promise, not believing those close to them or the police.

Hiding in their cars, they still transfer money, even though the police have already frozen their accounts, causing a ruckus at the police station, insisting they are adults and will take responsibility, accusing the police of obstructing their chance to make money, demanding the accounts be unfrozen, and threatening to make complaints and reports if not done.

After transferring money for three days, they report that they have been scammed…

What can you say? There are plenty of fools around, so if the developer puts out a contract as a mere formality, there will definitely be those who believe it, thinking "they have made such promises, it can't all be fake, and if they don't deliver, we can sue them."

They don't think about whether they had a contract when buying the house or how useful suing has been, in the end; legally and practically, creditors' rights are two different matters.

"You go too, listen to what they have to say. The main thing is to beware, in desperation the developer might use other methods to intimidate you all."

No need for extreme measures, a little intimidation can also make some homeowners scared, if they really take drastic action, it will just trigger a new round of *beeping*!

On the other end of the phone, Sister Lian said, "Let them come, for this apartment I'm almost at the point of ruin, I'm not afraid of their threats!"

To put it bluntly, at the most difficult times, Sister Lian even thought about taking a desperate stand, truly driven to a point with no way out, but sadly there were family and children to consider, whom she couldn't let go.

"Lawyer Tang, aren't you going?"

"They haven't invited me; you guys go. Sister Lian, what I mean is, even if only one person sues, I will see this lawsuit through to the end!"

After hanging up the phone, Old Tang shook his head helplessly; saying that is all well and good, but lawsuits cannot really be pursued to the end, especially not the responsibility of the construction authorities in monetary terms.

The court wouldn't rule that way; it's not feasible for the department's finances to be used for repairing houses.

Eventually, there will probably be a mediation involving all parties, the bottom line being to complete the unfinished buildings with contributions from those with money and efforts from those with strength.

And the enforcement following mediation will be equally troublesome; while dealing with the developer may be easier, as to how forcefully the court will execute measures against banks and construction authorities remains a question.

It's only a matter of taking it one step at a time.

The weekend arrived quickly, at Victoria Garden Estate's sales office, homeowners started heading upstairs.

I didn't pay much attention before, but after arriving, I noticed that it seemed only the homeowners who sued were notified.

Old Yu stood in a corner feeling uneasy, constantly telling himself it was harmless just to listen, and he could consult with Lawyer Tang afterwards.
