What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1043 - 338: Old Tang Decides to Be a Troublemaker!

It’s like the situation where you submit the materials, but the case isn’t filed, nor are you issued a decision about rejecting the case—basically, every lawyer has experienced this.

This kind of situation can actually be understood. In some places, grassroots courts handle far too many cases, such an overwhelming amount that they simply can’t complete them within the statutory time limits.

So, they can only stall at the filing stage, letting cases queue up first. When things aren’t as hectic, they’ll officially file your case.

Take grassroots courts in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen, for example. Each judge has hundreds of cases queued up under their name. Complaining to a higher court about it won’t give you any real results, because the higher courts understand the situation.

Under the quota system, judges are limited in number. They still can’t finish the work even if you fire all of them—things will remain the same.

However, what Lawyer Tang encountered this time was entirely a different matter.

Simply put, the reality here didn’t differ from his expectations—it felt like you had to cater completely to their whims to get anything done. If you dared to speak up, you’d be seen as audacious beyond belief.

You still dare to have opinions? Fine, I’ll just suppress your materials and see if you start saying nice things afterward.

In his previous life, while handling cases in some remote counties, Tang Fangjing had encountered this situation more than once or twice before. What could he do? Either speak politely or establish connections.

After all, Tang eventually understood why locals always relied on networking for everything. If you didn’t seek connections… getting anything done was extraordinarily difficult.

And now, the staff inside were completely stunned: "You… you’re the Tang Fangjing from the internet?"

As soon as those words came out, the expressions of everyone else in the hall changed as they looked at Tang.

Is this really Tang Fangjing? He actually came to a small county like this—what’s he up to?

Of course, most people immediately transformed into onlookers enjoying the drama. Anyone dealing with matters here has run into some trouble at some point or another. Witnessing someone directly make a scene was bound to be quite entertaining for them.

Tang lifted his clothing in response to the remark, exposing the terrifying scars beneath. Layers upon layers of injuries—knife wounds, burn marks—piled on top of each other, creating an intimidating sight.

"Is this evidence enough?"

The staff member trembled and instinctively swallowed nervously, quickly nodding: "Yes… yes, it’s enough!"

If you ask what defines a "ruthless man," this is it. Not just the staff member—even the bystanders secretly observing him felt like they couldn’t handle him. A person like this feels impossible to lie to. The pressure is immense.

"So, can you now tell me why, after I submitted my materials seven days ago, there’s been no response? What’s the reason for that?" Tang lowered his clothes and asked again.

His voice remained gentle, but the sweat on the staff member’s forehead grew heavier.

After rummaging inside frantically, the staff member finally unearthed Tang’s stack of materials.

"Lawyer Tang, I truly don’t know… I…"

Tang immediately interrupted: "It’s fine that you don’t know; I’m not insisting you must know. But how about you get someone who knows to come out and explain, hmm?"

"The person who received me seven days ago—she must know, right? Why not call her out to settle this?"

Perhaps because Tang seemed approachable, the staff member became slightly more bold: "Lawyer Tang, I’m currently working, and this issue has nothing to do with me…"

Upon hearing this, Tang laughed: "Oh, you’re working, are you? So does that mean my matter doesn’t fall within the scope of your work? All I need is a straight answer and I’ll leave—how about that?"

"Or perhaps I go to your disciplinary inspection department, and we have a proper conversation to determine whether or not this matter falls under your duties? And furthermore, why my submitted lawsuit materials vanished, and who exactly I should turn to for justice?"

"If this entire county doesn’t have anyone to handle my complaint, that’s fine too. We can go to the city, the province, or even online. Rest assured—I have plenty of time."

Although Tang continued speaking in a calm tone, neither the staff member nor anyone present believed he was joking.

Even though they knew Tang Fangjing mostly through the internet, his reputation preceded him. Everyone knew that this lawyer always honored his words!

If he said he’d fight you to the end, he’d truly fight you to the end—even risking his own life to drag you down, even if the matter was trivial.

An utterly pure lunatic!

This is how countless people online reviewed him—a man with only one life, but whose determination is boundless.

Cold sweat poured down the staff member’s face as he suddenly realized—despite Tang seeming so reasonable—the number of people imprisoned because of him was easily in the hundreds, if not thousands...

Without any hesitation, the staff member hurriedly said: "Lawyer Tang, please wait. I’ll go call my supervisor." freёnovelkiss.com

For matters like this, it was obvious the supervisor would need to take the heat. He certainly couldn’t bear it.

Meanwhile, the head of the Case Filing Court, Xiao Wenzheng, was in his office. When he heard the staff member’s report, he was stunned as well.

"What did you just say? Tang Fangjing came here for a case, and now there’s an issue? Explain it clearly to me—what exactly happened?"

This was none other than Tang Fangjing. The staff member might be clueless, but the higher-ups were crystal-clear.

Look at Lincheng City, or even Tianyan City—things escalated at those places until officials themselves faced severe consequences.

This man… is toxic!

The staff hesitated before responding: "It was probably Sister Li who handled the materials at the time. I don’t know what happened afterward, but Sister Li placed his lawsuit materials at the bottom…"
