So, there hadn't been any trouble for such a long time, but then Old Tang showed up...
Old Tang's sticky-candy-like approach left them helpless.
"How long has it been, why hasn't Chi Yan come out yet?" Guo Shengfang couldn't help but blurt out after waiting for a long time.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Didn't Chi Yan tell you to look for a lawyer if you had any issues? What's going on? I'm right here, the lawyer, and you're seeking out the party involved?"
That voice sounded very familiar, and when Guo Shenglong turned his head to look, he immediately stepped back twice.
Because behind them, Old Tang was standing there, his pale face carrying a hint of skepticism.
"You... How come you are here?" Guo Shengfang asked subconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Old Tang replied with a puzzled expression: "What kind of question is that? I'm here at the hospital obviously because I'm sick. Could it be for any other reason?"
"Don't believe me? Come on, I'll show you, I really am sick."
The mental illness certification was taken out of the pocket.
"See for yourself, I never lie; sick means sick... ah, grabbed the wrong one, no big deal, they're pretty much the same, just take a look."
He had meant to take out the diagnosis of late-stage cancer.
Fuck! Guo Shenglong couldn't help but curse, even though he often saw people say online that Tang Fangjing was mentally ill.
But he always thought it was a joke, how could a mentally ill person be a lawyer?
But now, he couldn't laugh at all, this lawyer across from him, damn it, was actually mentally ill!
A certified one at that!
"You two tell me, what do you want from Chi Yan exactly? Just speak to me directly, she won't see you now, I am her authorized attorney!" Old Tang spoke again.
Guo Shenglong felt exhausted. How could there be such a lawyer in this world?
He wondered how much money Chi Yan had paid for him that he was willing to help !
Finally, Guo Shengfang couldn't help but say, "What do we have to do for you to agree to drop the lawsuit? How much money will it take?"
Hearing this, Old Tang shook his head and said, "There's no need for money. As for the compensation, our side will file a separate civil lawsuit for that, don't worry."
"As for what you need to do for us to agree to withdraw the lawsuit, it's actually quite simple."
"Yes, simple. You and your dad go to jail, and then we can withdraw the lawsuit. See, simple, right?"
The indifferent expression on the other party completely infuriated Guo Shenglong.
He had been the kind of guy who'd roamed the streets with a steel pipe or a machete, getting into fights plenty of times, but he had never encountered someone like Tang Fangjing! For more chapters visit Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"So, we can't reach an agreement, can we?" Guo Shenglong stared at Old Tang intensely.
"Yes, there's no deal to be had. Your sister and your dad have to go to jail!" Old Tang was not the least bit intimidated: "By the way, let me tell you something, this kind of private prosecution cannot be settled out of court. Got it, you legal ignoramus?"
The criminal procedure law and the judicial interpretation of the Supreme Court stipulate that if the prosecutor's office does not prosecute and the party files a private prosecution, there will be no settlement.
Why? Because if someone goes to the trouble of coming to court to file a private lawsuit, it clearly shows they have no intention of settling.
You should know, for such cases to reach the point of a private lawsuit, the prosecutor's office and the public security organs would have already organized many attempts at settlement.
But it all would have been in vain, as the party still proceeded to court with a private lawsuit.
Under such circumstances, if the court were to organize another attempt at settlement, it would be a pure waste of judicial resources.
Therefore, when a private prosecution is initiated under these conditions, it's not applicable for settlement.
Having already had some drinks at the restaurant, and with Old Tang's powerful retorts, Guo Shenglong finally lost his patience.
"Let me ask you one more time, you're insisting on having my sister and my dad go to jail, right?" Guo Shenglong pointed at Tang Fangjing across from him, his eyes bloodshot.
"Yes, I want your sister and your dad to go to jail. Did you hear that clearly? Do you need me to repeat it? I want them in jail!"
Having lived two lifetimes, he had always deeply detested those who repay kindness with malice.
It was because of such people that the normally harmonious social order had been disturbed.
Originally, helping an elderly person up after a fall was considered a good deed, with some even willing to accompany the elderly to the hospital and advance the medical expenses.
But now, no one dares help the genuinely in-need elderly who fall, because the social atmosphere has been greatly damaged!
As he spoke, Guo Shenglong suddenly pounced, kicking towards Old Tang's stomach.
The trio arguing at the entrance of the hospital had already drawn a lot of attention.
Now, as two of the men suddenly came to blows, many spectators quickly gathered around.
Old Tang, after all, had the skills of a mixed-martial artist, and he could easily dodge such attacks.
But as he was about to dodge, he suddenly remembered something.
During his time in Luzhou, he had been continuously playing up his sufferings in various judicial departments.
Walking with a tremble, coughing for a long time as if on the verge of death at just a few words.
If he suddenly demonstrated his fighting skills now and subdued the opponent with a couple of moves, even if it was later judged as legitimate self-defense, he would still be looked down upon.
If you're this strong and vigorous, then you must have been faking it before, right?
If someone were to post a related video online, then just wait for it...
So he couldn't resist, no, he could not resist effectively.
It was okay to raise an arm to block, but he couldn't just throw the guy over his shoulder and send him flying ten meters away.
Ah, perfect, he had yet to experience the reward he had received last time and needed someone to test it on.
