What's wrong with this lawyer?!

These days, not only have legal notices been played out, but so has rumor rebuttal. In the past, whether it was law firms, celebrities, or companies, when they issued a serious denial of rumors online, basically, many people would believe it. Everyone thought, hey look, there's no need to lie under such circumstances, right? It doesn't make any sense to do so. Because lying in such situations can easily be exposed and when it's exposed, you lose even more face. Yet, there are still plenty of people who do it. No sooner had the denial notice been issued than it was pierced by either the public security organs or other official agencies, slapping faces with loud smacks. As the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau's police report was released, the Lin San Law Firm in Magic City was sucked into the vortex. The Lin San Law Firm, where Lv Zhizhang worked, was actually not a particularly impressive law firm in Magic City, handling mostly cases from outside areas. This time, netizens blasted them sky-high. "Twin Ponytails plus Attack Speed": Damn, just damn, this denial turned out to be so lonely, the guy's been criminally detained, and you still dare to deny? "The Friendship of Guan and Bao": So, that Lv has actually been locked up, right? And they even dared to say he was sick, totally treating everyone like fools! "We're All Cao Cao's Bandits": I just want to know the reaction of the law firm's leadership now, and Old Tang is already hospitalized; I didn't expect them to get the opposing lawyer sent in as well. Does Tengda still have any experts? Comments like these were incessant, and many people weren't just mouthing off—they turned around and reported Lin San Law Firm on the Magic City Lawyers Association's official site. The Bureau of Justice's penalties target not just individual lawyers but law firms as well. The netizens were so outraged because they felt the law firm was treating everyone like idiots, so something had to be done. Of course, there were other reasons, such as some netizens who jumped out to mock when the firm initially issued the denial, saying things like "After so many times, you still believe those rumors." Basically, they accused the netizens of being too stupid, believing any rumor, and look now, the law firm has denied it. At first, everyone didn't know how to refute it because the law firm's denial notice was issued with such seriousness; many didn't expect a law firm's denial could be blatant lies... Under a flood of condemnation and a blizzard of reports, Gu Guangquan, the director of Lin San Law Firm in Magic City, was already in agony. The reason the law firm issued that denial wasn't because they were too stupid; idiots can't run law firms in Magic City. In fact, they issued that denial in an attempt to buy some time! Lv Zhizhang was indeed taken away, but that was just a summon that could last no more than forty-eight hours; afterwards, either a criminal detention would ensue, or he would be released. At that time, the law firm believed Lv Zhizhang was not yet at the point of being criminally detained; once he went in to cooperate with the investigation, he would basically be able to come out. Show his face, and there would be no problem. Even if they said an investigation was still needed afterwards, that would be a matter for later. What they didn't expect was that as soon as their denial notice went out, it suddenly hit the trending searches, and a bunch of people started tagging the Jingzhou City Public Security Bureau's official account like crazy! Gu Guangquan could swear on his life that he absolutely, positively didn't hire bots; those people... just inexplicably jumped out to pressure the authorities. When Gu Guangquan saw the denial notice reach the trending searches, he felt numb, and then seeing those people causing a stir under the official account, he nearly fainted. Those people said they were allies, that they did it for Lawyer Lv. But dammit, the law firm didn't need you to do that at all! What followed didn't require any guesswork—a denial notice that went trending, combined with so many people causing a stir under the official account, naturally wouldn't be entertained by the public security organs; they dealt with it as they saw fit! Now, the Lawyers Association of Magic City and even the Bureau of Justice were asking him what the hell was going on, telling him to settle the matter quickly. Whether it's apologizing or whatever, the point was not to let the public outcry grow any louder! And so, the netizens witnessed another spectacular moment on the internet: a lightning-fast face-change. What was issued this time wasn't a denial notice but an apology letter. In the letter of apology, Lin San Law Firm apologized with an extremely sincere attitude; luckily Gu Guangquan still had some wits about him and didn't do something like "overtly apologizing while covertly mocking." There were actually suggestions within the law firm to use the lack of investigation as an excuse while apologizing, claiming they had hastily made the decision to issue such a denial. They needed some justification, for what normal person could do such a thing? However, Gu Guangquan quickly dismissed the idea, as netizens weren't fools; you say you didn't investigate, then how did you conclude he was sick and hospitalized? Better to just be honest. Most crucially, the Bureau of Justice had already filed an investigation into a pile of complaints against their law firm, and at this time if they weren't honest, a small hammer of forty would directly turn into a big hammer of eighty, smashing them into submission. The law firm knelt with lightning speed, and Lv Zhizhang was already in a detention center. Make no mistake, he was indeed in the same detention center as Ding Yongqiang, fulfilling his promise to find Ding Yongqiang.
