What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The night was deep, and Yan Xueling lay in her pajamas on the bed, immersed in her chat.

"By the way, didn't you offend your local Lawyers Association online before? How did it go, did you pass the assessment?"

After quickly sending out this message, Miss Xiao Yan propped her chin and started waiting for a reply. Soon her phone rang, and she hurriedly picked it up to check.

Lawyer Tang: "Of course, the Lawyers Association is very fair and reasonable. I communicated deeply with them, and they directly gave me a pass."

"Right, Xiao Yan, didn't you mention last time that you took on a case? What was it again? Let me help you analyze it."

Seeing the nickname Xiao Yan made Yan Xueling smile slyly. There was no helping it; the two hit it off in their conversations, which naturally led to revealing some personal information.

Therefore, she could only say she was a new lawyer with the surname Yan...

Of course, she would never reveal her true situation. If people found out she was "I like to stir up trouble," she would probably leave the Milky Way overnight.

On the other side, at his home in Yuefu Residential Complex, Tang Fangjing was also incessantly typing. It was one in a million to find an interesting soul, and having a colleague who could keep up with his pace was not easy.

Stepping forward to help post that video last time had proven the gentleman's soul, especially after learning the other was also a lawyer. Old Tang was very grateful.

If his real identity were discovered, this Mr. Yan would definitely be sanctioned by the local Lawyers Association.

So, he would also help find some approaches to cases, as a rookie lawyer actually really needs a veteran lawyer's guidance.

"It's about a case where a man died in a car accident, and then he left behind a credit card, which owes tens of thousands. Now the bank is pressing his wife to pay back the money."

"Yes, after several demands, the bank said they're going to sue. But she has no idea about this debt and didn't even know her husband had this credit card..."

"But the bank is asking her to provide evidence. How could she get evidence for this sort of thing?"

Miss Xiao Yan had just finished typing and was rubbing her hands when the other side had already sent a voice message.

"You don't understand this? How did you learn civil law? How the shared debts in a marital property... cough cough, that's a professional hazard."

Then the voice message turned into text.

"This is purely bullying someone who doesn't understand the law. Let the bank sue. He who asserts must prove. If the bank says it's a shared debt, let them prove it. Got it?"

Miss Xiao Yan was nearly heart attacked by what was said, which sounded just like her mentor—like a medical intern being called out on various mistakes by the big shot during rounds...

On the other side, Tang Fangjing didn't speak after sending that last message. It really was an occupational disease; he had mentored too many intern lawyers in his past, so he tended to start by ranting before reasoning whenever there was an issue.

He hoped the other person would understand.

A dozen days flashed by, and the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association's official website had the list of those who passed the examination on public display for a day, and Tang Fangjing's name was prominently listed!

This surprised many of his peers who were following the situation online.

It even made many local trainee lawyers in Jingzhou wonder if the Lawyers Association had gone mad.

Lawyers on the internet began discussing fervently, and Magic City's "Lawyer Lao Zheng" was tagged incessantly.

"This professional lawyer, why aren't you speaking up now? Didn't you say the Lawyers Association would definitely stop Tang Fangjing from passing? How come he passed now?"

Lao Zheng didn't dare show his face now; he felt it was very unreasonable. Could it be that the leaders of the Lawyers Association had suddenly changed their nature?

While everyone on the internet was discussing, the entrance of Jingzhou City Lawyers Association was bustling.

"President, you're back. You must take care of your health," Han Chengli said with a smile to Yin Deyuan at the entrance of the Lawyers Association.

But this smile seemed a bit forced.

The other staff members were also there talking, all advising the president to take care of his health.

Yin Deyuan nodded and smiled back: "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. Today is the announcement day, right? That... who..."

"President, Tang Fangjing passed the interview assessment, and the Lawyers Association has already made the announcement."

What? Yin Deyuan's face changed as he looked at the young lawyer on his left: "Who allowed him to pass?"

The young lawyer was none other than Lao Cheng, who said naturally, "You were not present, and all the other vice presidents agreed that there was nothing wrong with his examination."

Hearing that all the vice presidents had agreed, Yin Deyuan's face suddenly turned somber.

"You made a decision without letting me know first? Who is the president of this Lawyers Association?"

With a sense of helplessness, Han Chengli said, "It must be you, this..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, a voice at the door interrupted him.

"Hey, comrade, are you Yin Deyuan, the president of the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association?"

Yin Deyuan turned around to look, only to find several uniformed figures.

"We are from the Jingzhou City Tax Bureau. We have received a real-name report that the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association is suspected of tax evasion, and we have now opened a case and will begin the investigation today."

Upon hearing this, Yin Deyuan was stunned. The tax bureau was investigating the lawyers association for tax evasion? What a joke!

Standing nearby, Han Chengli immediately said, "Comrade from the tax bureau, could there be some mistake? Our association is a social organization legal person, and according to the law, we are tax-exempt."

An official from the tax bureau shook their head and said, "Then can your training fees from previous sessions also be considered membership fees?"

At that remark, Han Chengli was rendered speechless, as the situation was clear and undeniable.

"Alright, this is the notice, please sign it, President Yin."

As they spoke, the official eyed the other party; they had overheard the comment about "who the president of the association is," which was perfect.

Yin Deyuan refused to sign. He wanted to discuss the matter properly with them, but the tax investigators weren't interested in talking more.

Someone had already gone to the finance office. Tax auditing also required tactics; it was crucial to take control of the situation immediately.

Why do they always say AI can't replace accountants? Joke all you want, but can your AI go to jail?

The head official thought for a moment and said, "Right, the person who made the report is also a lawyer named Tang Fangjing."

Although he didn't know why the whistleblower wanted him to say this, it didn't matter. Since the whistleblower had this request, it was alright to mention it.

"Tang Fangjing..." Feeling his blood pressure rise, Yin Deyuan's heart began to pound furiously, and suddenly, everything went dark.

"Pinch his philtrum, call an ambulance, quickly!"

Wide-eyed with shock, Han Chengli exclaimed, "He actually reported the association for tax evasion? We already approved his assessment, and he's a member of our association. Why would he do this!"

"I've never seen someone so shamelessly thick-skinned. He passed the assessment, so why would he report us!"

Many in the association couldn't understand his actions. The list had been made public, and all that was left was to receive their certificates. Since he was a member of the association, why would he embarrass the association like this? What was he after?

"If this gets out..."

Someone there said, hardly daring to imagine what the public opinion on the internet might be. To put it unkindly, the Jingzhou City Lawyers Association would become the laughingstock of the entire country.

A legal service association committing unlawful acts and getting caught would be hypocritical, as if matching the "professionalism" of Lawyer Li Changming.

But that was just a single lawyer, not representative of much. But this is the lawyers association!

......

In Tengda Law Firm, on Tang Fangjing's left was the tax bureau's case opening notification, and on his right, his freshly issued lawyer's license.

What's the point of reporting behind someone's back? If you're going to report someone, let them know. Whether you play fair or dirty, I will take it head-on. It's action time, and I'm going to be upfront about it!

He made a phone call to Luo Duancheng.

"Hey, Master Luo, let's go to the Legal Aid Center when you have time. Let's try to hurry... Getting the money sooner rather than later is better, right?"

On the other end, Luo Duancheng, who was working on a construction site, hung up the phone utterly baffled. Although he already knew that Lawyer Tang was a good person and very capable.

But why did he feel like Lawyer Tang was even more concerned than himself...

Still, he believed whatever Lawyer Tang said. With the New Year approaching and no money in sight, Lawyer Tang's winning the case turned out to be entirely different from what he had imagined.

Shaking his head to dispel these thoughts, he quickly made calls to his former coworkers.

"Yes, let's go now, don't worry, Lawyer Tang is definitely not the kind to deceive people!"

Of course, Old Tang was invested. The system never simply used "winning a case" as a benchmark; the most significant challenge lying ahead wasn't the victory, but the execution!

Anyone who has been through litigation knows that sometimes winning the case doesn't mean much. The real journey begins once the second appeal ends, and the application for enforcement starts—that's just the first step of a thousand-mile march.

And what Tang Fangjing intended to do was to connect those layers of money through legal relationships—to ensure execution was in place or else face dire consequences...
