What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 1064 - 345: Help Ningtang County Trend on Social Media! - Part 2

This type of protection order violation, as long as it doesn’t cause severe consequences, usually just leads to administrative detention.

Watching Su Baoxiang being taken away, Old Tang sat back down and continued chatting with Chang Xuemin, as if nothing had happened.

Compared to past incidents, this was indeed nothing.

The other party didn’t even have the courage to make a move, let alone try any other tricks. Plus, it was just a divorce, not a matter of life and death.

Chang Xuemin wasn’t too surprised. After learning that this was Tang Fangjing, she felt that nothing happening around him could ever be surprising.

After chatting for about an hour and gathering all the necessary evidence, Old Tang got up and left.

A simple divorce—no children, no custody disputes, and the only issue in property division was domestic violence. The evidence was readily available. Even if... even if Wang Qingqing came, she could just mimic the process.

Unfortunately, Su Baoxiang actually agreed to the divorce settlement, making Old Tang feel bored—he had been planning to make another trip to the Ningtang County Court.

Meanwhile, on Old Han’s side, plans were already being made upon his return.

Dafeng Law Firm, the second-largest firm in Handong after Tengda, had no shortage of young "Niu Ma."

So, a bunch of lawyers were dispatched to start working across a dozen counties. All the funds came from Old Tang, with attorney fees later adjusted based on the actual amount collected.

The young "Niu Ma" found it slightly odd to go to some county just to hunt for cases, but as long as they were paid, they didn’t care.

If the money was good enough, even if you wanted to play lawsuits every day, everyone would eagerly oblige.

What’s that? This is an insult to the legal profession?

Then let’s hope there can be more such insults. Ideally, one could wake up every day to these "insults"—because finding case leads is just too troublesome.

Time passed quietly in this manner, and Old Tang was getting a little bored. They had previously claimed that the efficiency in this county was exceptionally high, but now the investigation seemed to drag on forever.

What Old Tang didn’t realize was that the delay was because the investigation had uncovered other problems.

Qin Mingsheng’s son, Qin Kaixu, who worked at a state-owned enterprise in the provincial capital, wasn’t particularly suspicious at first.

But during the cooperation with the investigation, he couldn’t stand the pressure and spilled the beans about how his father had paid for his job back in the day...

What can be done? What else can be done? It has to be investigated. At this point, there’s no way they could let it slide.

The problem was that the state-owned enterprise where Qin Kaixu worked had a relatively high administrative level. Naturally, the county-level authorities didn’t have the jurisdiction to investigate, and the case was escalated. The relevant departments in Hanbei Province had already become involved.

This was routine work in disciplinary inspections—when you investigate one thing, another batch of issues inevitably comes to light.

Fortunately, progress in the surrounding dozen counties was coming along just fine. In just a few short days, the lawyers had stirred up a storm.

One had to admit that lawyers really were pros at this stuff.

Every step was legally compliant. In essence, they were merely following the laws and regulations, but to the opposing side, it felt as if they had come just to stir up trouble...

There was nothing more to say then. For those with a cooperative attitude, it wasn’t a big deal. But as for those who acted as if any request meant they were owed a favor? No need to argue—just directly go and shake Old Tang!

Not long after, Old Tang would swoop in enthusiastically to "make trouble," only to leave behind a parting statement: "This is going to keep happening frequently over the next three years."

But forget three years—barely three days later, the lawyers reshuffled their assigned areas and came back again.

Time passed amid this odd kind of "cheer." The dozen or so counties were tormented to the point of misery. People who had been living comfortably in their small worlds, utilizing connections and the occasional under-the-table relationships, found themselves no longer able to adapt.

Suddenly, a group of individuals showed up preaching lawful practices. Add Tang Fangjing fishing in troubled waters, and it genuinely became unbearable.

The key issue was this: Old Tang said it would last three years, but merely three days later, they were back again. There was no telling when they might strike next time.

After this happened a few times, some locals unexpectedly discovered that officials suddenly began to act with far more courtesy...

Strange. Did they have a personality change?

What interrupted Old Tang’s amusement was a piece of breaking news.

The relevant departments in Handong Province had already reached a decision: due to various violations, Qin Mingsheng was officially dismissed from both his Party membership and public office—a double removal—with bribery inevitably on the list.

The criminal allegations had been handed over to the Provincial High People’s Procuratorate, but it was almost certain the case would eventually move to a county- or city-level Procuratorate for prosecution.

Qin Mingsheng had already been placed in Luze City’s First Detention Center.

For anyone who once knew him, they would probably fail to recognize him now. The current Qin Mingsheng had completely lost the commanding presence he once exuded, replaced by an expression of dejection and despair.

During his time in detention, his hair had turned completely white.

Sitting on the bed in the detention center, Qin Mingsheng was filled with complicated feelings. Everything had happened so quickly.

Before all this, his life had been one most people could only gaze up to in envy. He never had to worry about medical bills, and his retirement pension exceeded the salaries of many grinding through grueling "996" work schedules.

Every day was leisurely—a façade of humility and indifference to fame and fortune. Tea sipped, newspapers read—it was a seemingly carefree, relaxed existence.

Then, out of nowhere, he found himself trapped. The most maddening part was that even now, he still didn’t understand why Tang Fangjing had singled him out!

What the hell. Seriously, what the hell. If it hadn’t been for Tang Fangjing, there’s no way he would’ve ended up in this predicament.

Now, it’s all over.

...

Despite the limited information, it was already more than enough for Old Tang. As long as it was confirmed that the other party had accepted bribes, it proved that Lu Jianshe’s accusations back then hadn’t been slanderous.

After running in circles for so long, he could finally wrap up the case.

Old Tang found the official public notice on the relevant department’s website, combined it with the previous materials he had gathered, and took a bus to the higher-level court overseeing Ningtang County—the Luze City Intermediate Court.
