Chi Yan saw this ssage, and her fingers, which were in the middle of typing, suddenly stopped.
Lawyer Tang... is in Jingzhou at this mont?
For so reason, she felt a surge of anxiety.
As soone with severe social anxiety, interacting with colleagues was one thing, but face-to-face etings 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 soone 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 nurous people were disciplined!
So 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 comnts earlier.
Luo Duancheng originally just faced a lawsuit demanding money and had sought a lawyer in hopes of negotiating to reschedule the interest paynts 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 ti. Where should I et you?"
After sending the ssage, Chi Yan was getting ready to log out of the APP and ride a shared bike ho.
That's when she saw an instant reply on her screen...
"Co to the area near the high-speed railway station. I'm right here. If it's too far for you, I can co 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 rembered 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 so 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 ntioned the screen na without any hesitation, just as he had spoken to Ju Haiqing, treating any screen na as naturally as a real one.
But the truth was, ntioning screen nas in real life was genuinely awkward...
"Yes, Lawyer Tang, it's ."
"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 na is Chi Yan. Just calling by my na 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 establishnt.
With two sodas on the table, Old Tang started:
"You didn't explain clearly in the private ssage you sent earlier. Tell 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 ."
Chi Yan was now slightly less nervous, mainly because Lawyer Tang before her was incredibly efficient. When it ca 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 in the hospital, demanding I pay dical 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 'famous' or sothing."
"The police did not say they couldn't handle it at first, just that the matter was difficult to deal with and advised to speak with the family to try and diate."
"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 to co back after the holiday."
"I went again yesterday. They said they were busy and couldn't spare the ti. Then, when I pressed them out of urgency, soone said they couldn't handle it, leaving 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 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 ans to educate the fraudsters!
