What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Pulling out his cellphone, he dialed the number and switched to speakerphone, and soon the call was connected.

"Hello, Ms. Guo, this is the police station. I called you last time. Now, Ms. Chi has come to the police station, and I wanted to ask if you could come over so we can resolve this issue," he said.

A voice came through the phone, a woman's voice: "Why do I still have to go? Isn't this over? I've already told you, my dad is old, he didn't see clearly that time!"

Officer Zhao continued, "You didn't see clearly, yet you directly claimed it was the other party who knocked him over? Now come here and sort this out, understand?"

Finally, the other side agreed, after all, it was the police who were calling personally.

Old Tang was still sitting on this side, waiting for quite a while when he saw a couple walk in.

A man and a woman, both around their forties, with particularly unpleasant expressions on their faces.

Chi Yan whispered from the side: "The woman is the one from that day, I haven't seen the man before."

Old Tang gestured with his hand indicating it was nothing.

The two walked in, and the woman started complaining: "We're here, so say what you have to say. Is it money you want? Just say it, none of this 'resolving the issue' nonsense."

"Yeah, do you still want me to bring my dad over too? He's still in the hospital. You can just bring him over yourself," she added.

Guo Shengfang was clearly impatient, and the man beside her wore a similarly unpleasant expression.

Officer Zhao stepped forward: "Speak politely, see where you are. You know what you've done, this is Lawyer Tang Fangjing, the lawyer Ms. Chi hired, please discuss and figure out a solution."

They actually hired a lawyer?

For such a trivial matter, where the other party hadn't even paid a cent for medical expenses, and now they'd actually gotten a lawyer?

At this point, Lawyer Tang had begun to speak: "First off, I need to correct your statement. You should be paying money; your behavior at that time was already extortion, are you aware?"

Guo Shengfang immediately turned to Officer Zhao and said, "Is this how you solve problems? We committed extortion?"

"Are you blind as a lawyer? I've said it, my dad didn't see clearly. What, you think my dad is lying? Then go ask him."

She was clearly relying on the difficult situation of dealing with the elderly, not taking the matter seriously.

Officer Zhao quickly said, "Let's not argue on both sides. Look, after all, your dad has wronged someone, he's caused trouble for them, right?"

"What trouble did I cause her? I just said a few words there, can't even that be said if it's not clear? She didn't pay a cent. This person here opens his mouth and accuses my dad of extortion, and that's supposed to be correct?" Guo Shengfang argued discontentedly.

Officer Zhao and a few other police officers quickly took Guo Shengfang aside to talk, and after a long conversation, they finally came up with a result.

"Lawyer Tang, Ms. Guo just mentioned that they are willing to pay five hundred yuan for compensation. Do you agree to settle?"

Working this job was truly not easy; Officer Zhao felt his mouth drying out.

"I disagree, five hundred is nowhere near enough compensation, and moreover, Officer Zhao, I have also said this before, it's a case of extortion, not simply a matter of compensation!"

Officer Zhao, who had just spent so much time arguing, suddenly couldn't hold back any longer.

"Lawyer Tang, after all, the other party is an elderly person, and besides, they haven't caused any harm to Ms. Chi, who hasn't paid anything, right? There were no consequences."

"It's difficult for us to deal with this over the New Year," he said.

Old Tang remained indifferent on his side; of course, he knew that this preferential treatment was because of his name.

But no matter how prominent his name, the grass-roots police do not want the hassle.

When it comes to elderly issues, the grass-roots police stations find it a nuisance however they handle it. If by any chance the elderly person dies on the spot, they can forget about this year's selection for prizes and honors.

Listening to Tang Fangjing's words, Guo Shengfang yelled from the side: "Forget it then, you call yourself a lawyer, go ahead and sue us, and see if you get a cent from me!"

Establishing a case was absolutely impossible, Guo Shengfang was very clear about the situation at the grassroots level. Did this Tang, just because he was a lawyer, think he could do anything? Without a case, you're powerless.

It's just that his name sounds so familiar...

"Lawyer Tang, what about this…" Officer Zhao was completely at a loss; he was feeling very angry now.

"Officer Zhao, even if this didn't amount to a crime, it would warrant administrative detention, wouldn't it? Are you just going to stand by and watch?" Old Tang said with dissatisfaction on his face.

"No, Lawyer Tang, at that age, how can we detain them?" the police officer said helplessly.

Any incident would mean the whole station could say goodbye to any honors or commendations. Visit m,v le,mpyr today

Old Tang shouted, "So you're saying, they swindled someone, and now you can't punish them?"

The other police officers said nothing, and Guo Shengfang wore a look of disdain.

Arguing with the police, does arguing half the day bring about any results? Clearly, she knew nothing.

Officer Zhao, with a pained expression, said, "Lawyer Tang, could you wait a bit longer, we need to discuss this further."

It was another day of muddling through, and Guo Shengfang left outright.

Old Tang did not speak further and also got up and left.

One day, two days, by the third day, the police station called.

"Lawyer Tang, after deliberation, the station has decided not to establish a case. Regarding the paperwork…" he started.

"I will collect it now!" Tang replied.

He wanted exactly that notice. He'd known from the start that they would try to muddle through here, but it didn't matter, there was always a way; hardly anyone just bothered to pursue it.

With the non-establishment notice in hand, Old Tang headed straight for the public security branch bureau in the high-tech district.
