Chapter 347: Chapter 139: Aside from saving people, can you just make promises carelessly?
Xihong District People’s Court, Old Song had just walked out, his case here was also a civil lending case, which was handled very smoothly.
However, there was one thing, the other party had filed an appeal, so he needed to discuss with his client again and see what the second trial would bring.
Another thing was, the effectiveness of the previous property preservation was about to expire, and they needed to extend it quickly, or winning the lawsuit but not being able to enforce it would become a joke again.
“Lawyer Song, no need to say more, I’ll still hire you for the second trial, sigh, why is getting money so hard?” the client beside him said.
It was Lawyer Song who had done the preservation in advance, otherwise, he might have ended up like many others, winning the lawsuit but only on paper.
You may indeed be right, but you simply can’t get the money, the court can’t enforce it, nothing can be done.
Old Song nodded and immediately took out his phone and dialed: “Hello, Mr.
Lu, how’s it going on your end?
The trial’s over now, isn’t it?
Was there a verdict?”
From the phone, Lu Dongxu’s voice came: “Lawyer Song?
We finished up long ago.
Yes, it was done an hour ago.”
Old Song was greatly surprised when he heard this.
He had been proceeding methodically, and at a fast pace, having resolved the case in an hour and a half and already declared a verdict.
Yet the other party was saying they had finished an hour ago, what was this situation!
“Wait, what do you mean by ‘finished’?” Old Song urgently asked.
Old Tang even said that with him around there would definitely be no surprises, but this clearly was a surprise!
“Finished, is that my relative, right after court, hurriedly gave me the money…” Lu Dongxu said with a chuckle.
Thinking about how Lu had grimly transferred the money to him, Lu Dongxu really wanted to shout out how exhilarating it was!
Before coming to court, he was full of dismay, as the other party during the prior mediation specifically said they wouldn’t pay him because he had the audacity to sue!
Yes, in Lu’s own words, we are relatives, I’m just using a bit of your money, it’s not like I won’t pay it back.
You actually took it to court.
Well then, I simply won’t pay you until the court proceedings are over.
Some people are , they can drag their feet on repaying you, but you can’t ask for it; if you do, they feel you’re causing them to lose face.
They’ll say things like, “Are you really making a fuss over this small amount of money?” which leave you astonished, wondering who’s the one owing money.
So even though the case went to trial, Lu Dongxu still felt uneasy and irritated.
The trial had barely started for half an hour when Lawyer Tang dealt with it directly, and the money was instantly in hand, while the other party might even be headed to prison…
The client beside Old Song had been eavesdropping with his ears perked up ever since the phone was answered, and at this point, his entire being felt awful.
What was this scenario, why would they offer to pay in the middle of the lawsuit?
Equally baffled, Old Song said, “Why?
Did your relative suddenly have a change of heart?”
Lu Dongxu cursed loudly in response: “A change of heart my ass, it seems like during the trial, Lawyer Tang caught some loophole or the other, and then Lawyer Tang said he was operating illegally, plus there were other issues…”
“Then, suddenly, he offered to pay on his own, and the judge said let’s mediate, and then we mediated, and he paid all the previously agreed interest, not a penny less.”
“Now I’m already home, my relative’s situation has been reported to the police by the court, Lawyer Tang said with his circumstances he’ll probably have to go in and learn a skill well.”
“Really, Lawyer Song, thank you so much…”
Lu Dongxu’s thanks meant he was grateful to Old Song for getting Tang Fangjing to handle his lawsuit; meanwhile, the client here was struggling to cope.
“No, Lawyer Song, what do you mean?
Why do they get to just take the money in the middle of the trial, and I still have to go through a second trial, and deal with property preservation, and all that?
Old Song hurriedly explained: “It’s not like that, what I meant was…”
After hurriedly explaining for a while, he finally made the client realize that there are benefits to paying more for attorney fees.
After sending the client off, Old Song directly called: “Hello, Tang Fangjing!”
From the phone came Old Tang’s casual voice: “What’s up Director Song, any problems?
You asked me to cover for you, and I did just that, what now?”
This guy was doing it on purpose, every time invoking that ‘Deputy’ title, but who doesn’t know these days that calling someone by a deputy position should never include the ‘deputy’?
But it was Old Tang on the line, what could he say, after all, he calls Old Wang, and Old Wang is all over it.
“Didn’t you tell me there would absolutely be no surprises if you went?
What’s this then, the defendant is going to jail?”
Old Tang replied: “Is that really a surprise?
No one’s getting the death penalty, what’s the big deal?
I just condensed the first and second trials and enforcement all into one, any problems?”
“Just tell me if you got the money or not!”
No problems? Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel[f]ire.net
That was Old Song still having a conscience, otherwise, you turned a case into one earning where they could’ve earned three times, and you say no problem?
“We did get the money, but this…
this efficiency of yours is a bit too high…”
Old Song was at a loss, it was a bit too fast for him to cope with.
In the office, Old Tang hung up the phone, what kind of person was this, he helped solve the problem so quickly, and now this attitude?
What’s this about always trying to put people away?
Was it his intention?
The other side was flaunting criminal evidence in his face, even saying stuff like “if you dare, then sue me.”
It’s like a beautiful woman wearing black stockings and deliberately showing off her figure, teasingly saying “come at me” or something like that.
