What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The key issue was that they couldn't comprehend why Lv Zhizhang would make such an error. It was unscientific! Alas, it seems that the task of undermining someone else's foundation is both heavy and a long journey ahead! On the other side, at Jingzhou City Central Hospital, Old Tang couldn't help but smile upon hearing Zhang Wei's narrative outside. "Well done, although things ended up a bit too smoothly in the end, you chose the right approach," Old Tang said into the phone. Outside the glass wall, Zhang Wei was so excited he couldn't contain himself. For him, Old Tang's simple praise of "well done" was enough to thrill him for a month! "When dealing with criminal cases, having a criminal logic is crucial. Keep working hard." A few simple words, but they invigorated Zhang Wei like a shot of adrenaline; he felt he hadn't learned enough that day and decided to go back and study some more cases! The arrest of Lv Zhizhang hadn't really affected Old Tang; this man had never caught his attention or measured up as a competitor. Yet, Old Tang's recovery was still slow, and there was no telling when he would be able to leave the hospital. Jingzhou finally calmed down, and other hot topics emerged on the internet, with the matters of Lv Zhizhang and Ding Yongqiang no longer being the center of attention. However, on the side of the public security organs, there was some oddity, with the procuratorate quickly approving Lv Zhizhang's arrest warrant. With Lv Zhizhang arrested, and the time entering March, Ding Yongqiang was indicted! Despite his lawyer's best efforts, nothing could change the outcome; Ding Yongqiang was convicted of intentional homicide, with extremely heinous circumstances, extremely cruel methods, and a profoundly adverse social impact! Moreover, comprehensive evidence proved that Ding Yongqiang was capable of making his own judgments at the time of the crime. It was clearly reflected in his first confession that he came to Jingzhou with the intention of committing murder, but initially had no money and was forced to work for a few days to earn it. The purpose of earning money was to buy gasoline, and in order to kill Tang Fangjing directly, he had actually purchased quite a substantial amount of it. However, in that moment his hands trembled, and he didn't manage to pour all of it on Tang Fangjing. Not only that but when he got caught, he was found carrying a spring-loaded knife, planning to stab Tang Fangjing a few times if burning him failed. What he hadn't anticipated was that Tang Fangjing would turn out to be so fierce in that moment, and he ended up too scared to even escape properly. In conclusion, Ding Yongqiang was sentenced to immediate execution by death penalty! As the sentence was passed, Ding Yongqiang instantly collapsed, and two bailiffs had to step forward to assist him in standing to hear the verdict. Although he had psyched himself up beforehand, Ding Yongqiang was still terrified after the death sentence was declared; he probably understood what his father had felt before. Indeed, there is nothing more terrifying than the brink of life and death. Naturally, Ding Yongqiang would appeal, but the Handong Province High Court made the same decision to uphold the original sentence and submitted it for approval by the Supreme Court! In April, Ding Yongqiang was executed by the Jingzhou Intermediate Court, while Lv Zhizhang was sentenced to one year in prison with a two-year suspension of execution. A one-year sentence with a two-year reprieve was essentially the best outcome for him. This also involved some cunning; if he had been sentenced to six months in detention, he would have to serve that sentence in reality, but a suspended sentence was different. He could be released as soon as the judgment was pronounced, something which criminal defense lawyers are quite adept at handling. On the day he walked out of the detention center, Lv Zhizhang's expression was complex. He could never have dreamed that he would land himself in such a predicament. Think about it, he had fought so many lawsuits for others, had even argued with judges in court, and was regarded as a skilled performer among lawyers. Yet, he ended up with such a demise. He could no longer be a lawyer, but his many years of experience had left him with a considerable network, and soon after, Lv Zhizhang landed a job working as a janitor at a legal consultancy firm. Now was a time of growth for legal consultancy firms, and Lv Zhizhang was thinking of making a comeback. Indeed, he couldn't be a lawyer anymore, but nowadays, legal consultancy firms have developed all sorts of new strategies for litigation representation. The core loophole is that the "Civil Procedure Law" and the "Criminal Procedure Law" stipulate that a person recommended by social organizations can act as a legal representative. So these people would set up some nonsense associations, which could be considered social organizations, and then nominate members of these associations as legal representatives, effectively bypassing the need for attorney qualifications... So Lv Zhizhang was confident; besides, who knows how long Tang Fangjing could still live. If the other man suddenly passed away, it would be a win for himself. At the hospital, after learning of Ding Yongqiang's execution, Old Tang no longer cared about the outside world and focused all his attention on studying. One should never stop learning, no matter how old one gets. He never saw himself as the most outstanding lawyer; he was indeed skilled in criminal law, but civil law encompasses so much that it required a long time to study. Days went by, and as time gradually moved towards the end of the year, the internet had not heard from Tang Fangjing for a long time, and even the folks at Tengda didn't know the current state of Director Tang. Nobody even knew whether he was alive or dead... For many, the days without Tang Fangjing were genuinely joyful—no need to worry about being taken seriously, no fear of being inexplicably locked up. Everyone was happy, and all was well. And what could online public opinion do? There are so many unfair things happening on the internet every day, but how many of them make it to the trending topics? Many events are unknown to the netizens, and even if they are posted online, they elicit no uproar. There was yet another suicide of a graduate student in academia, pushed to the brink by their supervisor. Well, if they committed suicide, so be it; those in academia are equally formidable. You want to sue? Then sue, wherever you want! Sending private messages to Tang Fangjing also elicited no response; his account had been inactive for a long time already. The thirty-one cases stirred up by Old Tang are now being slowly forgotten by some people. There are plenty of "historical records" on the internet. Some are especially good at telling blatant lies with eyes wide open. Many things had just happened not long ago, yet when it's time for whitewashing, they dare to spout nonsense confidently as if they're speaking absolute truths. The internet, having been cleansed by Old Tang in the past, once again became a den of iniquity, with those who smeared Old Tang quietly showing up again. Tang Fangjing? He's probably dead by now.
