What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chi Yan saw this message, and her fingers, which were in the middle of typing, suddenly stopped.

Lawyer Tang... is in Jingzhou at this moment?

For some reason, she felt a surge of anxiety.

As someone with severe social anxiety, interacting with colleagues was one thing, but face-to-face meetings felt definitely more nerve-wracking.

But despite the nerves, this was Lawyer Tang!

She was well aware of the incident at the Wufang School in Jingzhou, where someone had sought Lawyer Tang's help, initially hoping to just negotiate with the school to receive their diploma.

As a result, not only were the school's leaders arrested, but a nationwide investigation was launched into vocational schools forcing students into internships across Handong Province and beyond.

Jingzhou's education system underwent a major overhaul, and numerous people were disciplined!

Some even joked that hiring Lawyer Tang for a job worth five hundred would result in him doing a job worth five million...

Little did they know, Jingzhou had already made such comments earlier.

Luo Duancheng originally just faced a lawsuit demanding money and had sought a lawyer in hopes of negotiating to reschedule the interest payments since he genuinely couldn't pay.

But once Lawyer Tang took on the case, not only was the man taken into custody, but he also had to reimburse Luo Duancheng. Now, that's what you call a lawyer.

Hurriedly, she deleted the text she'd previously typed and started typing anew: "Lawyer Tang, I have no problem, I'm available any time. Where should I meet you?"

After sending the message, Chi Yan was getting ready to log out of the APP and ride a shared bike home.

That's when she saw an instant reply on her screen...

"Come to the area near the high-speed railway station. I'm right here. If it's too far for you, I can come to you."

"No problem at all, Lawyer Tang, I'm on my way right now!"

The area to the high-speed railway station wasn't particularly far; Jingzhou was quite a compact city, after all.

Still, she decided to take a taxi, in case Lawyer Tang was in a hurry.

After a 20-minute taxi ride, Chi Yan arrived at Jingzhou's high-speed railway station and began looking around.

It was only after a full circuit that she remembered she didn't know what Lawyer Tang looked like, as his photos and videos online weren't very clear.

Old Tang was also waiting outside the entrance to the high-speed rail station and decided to send over his contact number after some thought.

"Call this number when you arrive."

Ssoon, her phone rang with an unknown number.

"Hello, Lawyer Tang Fangjing from Tengda Law Firm speaking. You're 'A Little Swallow,' aren't you?"

On the other end of the phone, Chi Yan was suddenly stunned.

Lawyer Tang mentioned the screen name without any hesitation, just as he had spoken to Ju Haiqing, treating any screen name as naturally as a real one.

But the truth was, mentioning screen names in real life was genuinely awkward...

"Yes, Lawyer Tang, it's me."

"Then head over to the entrance... I think I see you now."

Old Tang said, looking forward, and saw a fairly tall girl standing there.

"Hello, Lawyer Tang, my name is Chi Yan. Just calling me by my name is fine," Chi Yan said with a trace of restraint, looking at the pale-faced young man before her.

Old Tang nodded; he obviously noticed the girl was pretty, fitting the description of what young people in the previous era called 'black long straight hair,' but he wasn't distracted.

This path was not for those with vulnerabilities.

"Alright, Chi Yan, there is a KFC up ahead. Let's go there and sit down to talk," Old Tang continued.

Chi Yan had no objections and hesitantly followed Old Tang into the establishment.

With two sodas on the table, Old Tang started:

"You didn't explain clearly in the private message you sent earlier. Tell me exactly what happened."

"When you went to the police station, did they outright tell you they couldn't handle it, or what?"

"When you went to check the surveillance footage, did you take a picture of it? If so, show it to me."

Chi Yan was now slightly less nervous, mainly because Lawyer Tang before her was incredibly efficient. When it came to discussing the case, he focused solely on the case, not saying anything else.

This allowed her to concentrate on the case and not worry about other things, naturally easing her nervousness.

"It was like this: they surrounded me in the hospital, demanding I pay medical expenses, initially asking for three thousand yuan, or else they would report to the police that my electric bike caused the old man's injury."

"They also threatened to post the incident online to make me 'famous' or something."

"The police did not say they couldn't handle it at first, just that the matter was difficult to deal with and advised me to speak with the family to try and mediate."

"I did record part of the surveillance footage on my phone then."

Taking Chi Yan's phone, Old Tang scrutinized the short surveillance video, just about two to three minutes long.

It showed Chi Yan rushing to help an elderly man who had fallen out of nowhere, while the man's daughter approached from the side, capturing that very scene.

After watching carefully, Old Tang quickly asked, "Did you go back to the police station to talk about it?"

"I went back twice, once on the fifth day of the new year. They said they only had on-duty staff during the holidays and were short-staffed, telling me to come back after the holiday."

"I went again yesterday. They said they were busy and couldn't spare the time. Then, when I pressed them out of urgency, someone said they couldn't handle it, leaving me with no options..."

With furious scribbling, Old Tang finally finished the last word and paused.

"I think I've got a clear picture of the situation. Currently, the main issue is from your end. I want to know what you're thinking and what you expect me to do about this situation?"

As he spoke, a system panel appeared before Old Tang, and to his surprise, this matter had also activated a mission!

"Mission Target": Use legal means to educate the fraudsters!
