What's wrong with this lawyer?!

They were preparing to take action now, using the same method as before: finding someone in desperate need of money, someone who would dare to do anything for it.

Give them some money to hit someone with a car and then take the fall for it, spending a few years in prison.

In fact, this was the first time Wang Yanlong had hired someone to do the job; when he was younger, he'd always done it himself.

Although he felt it was unlikely they'd trace it back to him, Wang Yanlong still planned to lay low for a while and come back after the dust had settled.

But as soon as he stepped out the door without even hailing a cab, five or six burly men suddenly rushed out from the side of the road and pinned him to the ground.

Wang Yanlong instinctively began to struggle, reaching for his waist, but one of the big men simply took out a spray bottle and gave his eyes a few sharp spritzes.

"Ah... my eyes, ah ah..."

Wang Yanlong kept screaming in agony as the men cuffed him without any hesitation.

For a dangerous suspect like him, necessary measures had to be taken.

"Wang Yanlong, do you know why we are arresting you?"

As he screamed, Wang Yanlong felt a chill in his heart; something had happened, but the police had arrived too quickly.

Seeing Wang Yanlong in such a pitiful state didn't move the seasoned detective at all; with a record of past offenses and now inciting intentional homicide for revenge, the situation was very serious.

Besides him, others like Lv Yazhen were also summoned.

Upon seeing the police, Lv Yazhen was already scared; she had watched the news today and was just as bewildered, having had an argument with Wang Yanlong, since they had only talked about teaching someone a lesson yesterday.

Who could have imagined that it would put someone's life in such jeopardy; from the looks of the video, the victim was pretty much gone.

Peng Fei was also taken away, mainly because her constant communication with the detained developer's legal affairs and the substantial amount of money she had received; as for the specifics, further investigation was needed to find out.

Over at Dafeng Law Firm, Han Chengli was busy preparing for Li Shuwei's defense, when he suddenly saw the news online and immediately tried to call Lv Yazhen.

But her phone was no longer reachable...

Here I am, racking my brains trying to save your husband, counting on you to continue paying, and now you've been locked up yourself?

Who am I supposed to ask for the money from?

By noon, the police issued another announcement.

From last night's incident to the arrest of all the suspects today, it only took twenty hours!

It was a retaliation by the developer against lawyer Tang Fangjing!

With the investigation results released, the previously simmering online public opinion boiled over again.

This was the second vicious retaliation against a lawyer in Jingzhou this year, and the targeted lawyer was the same person...

While details of the case were not disclosed, someone claiming to be a homeowner had posted a rough account of what happened online.

"By now, you probably all know, Victoria Garden's project was left uncompleted, and Lawyer Tang took the case, actively litigated through various means, and finally got the situation moving."

"During this process, the arrested developer's boss, Li Shuwei, had his assets frozen, and now it seems that these developers not yet arrested blamed Lawyer Tang for everything."

"I sincerely hope that Lawyer Tang recovers; society really lacks such good lawyers!"

Simultaneously, Jingzhou City Lawyers Association, Handong Provincial Lawyers Association, the Justice Bureau, and various official media started reporting, insisting on severe punishment for those who retaliate against lawyers!

It might be the second time this statement has been made, but reality doesn't care about all that; when interests clash, people will act in desperation.

The housing authority of Bright District also issued a statement, indicating that they were making every effort to resolve the situation with Victoria Garden's incomplete building project.

Negotiations had previously been at a standstill, with the bank categorically rejecting the terms, considering their compensation demands utterly unrealistic.

However, after Old Tang was hit by the developer and hospitalized, Jingzhou Bank went silent.

The Financial Supervision and Administration Bureau then declared:

The branch manager, Yao Yuehua, and deputy manager, Zhang Deli, from the Tide Road branch had been taken away for severe violations of regulation.

Jingzhou Bank's headquarters announced its full commitment to resolving the issues of Victoria Garden residential community.

It was as if Old Tang's hospitalization suddenly sped up everyone's efficiency.

Online, there were also many well-wishes for Tang Fangjing, as people said society needed men of his caliber!

As for those claiming that Lawyer Tang's mental illness was serious and that he was unfit to be a lawyer?

The fucking nerve of them, their whole family must be mentally ill!

Does Lawyer Tang have a certificate? So what if he does, the hospital hasn't spoken yet; can't he have intermittent episodes?

And at this moment, the director of surgery from the First Hospital of Handong Medical University gave an interview.

"We operated for more than ten hours, the surgery was very successful, and Lawyer Tang's will to live was very strong, he is now in the ICU, and his condition has improved!"

Once the news spread, there was an immediate surge of excitement online!

Under the deputy chief justice of Bright District People's Court, Song Tengfei stepped in for Tang Fangjing in mediation, and a preliminary agreement was reached.

After Li Shuwei's related assets were seized, compensation for the homeowners' down payments and full payments were to be divided based on the developer taking 70% responsibility and the bank 30%, with the interest calculated at the benchmark interest rate.

As for loans, that became the responsibility of the bank and the developer, after all, the residential community was still there, although far from completion, it still counted as an asset.

Basically, by these calculations, the money deducted from Li Shuwei was more or less accounted for...

The rest of the homeowners would have to wait their turn, quick hands get and slow hands miss out; they could wait until the auction of the residential community or some other resolution.

Five days later, another exhilarating piece of news arrived: Lawyer Tang had woken up!
