What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 619 - 197: Dug a Hole, and You Really Jumped In!

Although Lv Ziyang had heard stories about Tang Fangjing before, he had never personally interacted with him and only subconsciously felt, "this old classmate seems pretty formidable."

However, when such an event actually happened to him, he finally understood the feelings of those people in the videos.

Initially, it seemed like he wouldn’t be able to recover the two hundred thousand at all, but now, there was talk of getting back four hundred thousand. If he could really get his hands on that money, purchasing a new home later would be much easier.

Just for that, he felt he could kneel before Tang Fangjing and kowtow a couple of times.

But... could he really get the money back?

It was not that Lv Ziyang didn’t believe in it, but rather anyone who encountered such a situation would be somewhat incredulous, even if it was Tang Fangjing, even if the other party had handled countless similar cases...

At that moment, Old Tang’s voice continued to come through the phone, "Now I have to talk to you again about this—the claim amount is now four hundred thousand. If we win the lawsuit, my share will have to be calculated based on the four hundred thousand."

Hearing this, Lv Ziyang quickly said, "Director Tang, I think, I think if we recover the four hundred thousand, then the two hundred thousand should be yours. If it weren’t for your help, I wouldn’t even get the two hundred thousand back."

Old Tang responded immediately, "What do you mean by that? Since we’ve signed a contingency fee contract, we must follow the contract. You giving me two hundred thousand is making me commit an error!"

"Everyone knows I’m the most compliant with the professional regulations of a lawyer, so let’s adhere to the contract. However, the case is only filed for now, and we don’t know the specific verdict yet. I’m going to hang up now."

After finishing, Old Tang hung up the phone, leaving Lv Ziyang stunned for a long while before he finally came back to his senses.

He didn’t intend to inform his family, because he had just lost a lawsuit not long ago, and filing a case didn’t prove anything—what mattered was the judgment.

Meanwhile, Old Tang had already gone to the Jingzhou Changyi District Market Regulation Bureau with relevant materials.

Soon, a junior officer from market regulation, looking at Old Tang, said, "Lawyer Tang, you’re here to report that the Yashi Jingzhou branch has false advertising, right?"

As he spoke, the junior officer curiously examined the other party. Although they were both from Jingzhou, he had never met this Lawyer Tang before.

He had only heard legends about him from colleagues in other districts.

The most important thing he knew was that you better handle his reports strictly according to procedure, and if there are problems, they must be thoroughly investigated.

Because this person might fight over minor issues with an organization to the bitter end.

Actually, fighting to the bitter end wouldn’t be so bad; there are many people who professionally expose scams these days, and market regulation isn’t really afraid of administrative lawsuits.

But Tang Fangjing was different, he wasn’t a professional scam exposer, he was a professional lawyer, and a major internet celebrity at that.

Under such circumstances, you really wouldn’t want to falsify any data, unless you were confident you could suppress someone surnamed Tang.

Nodding, Old Tang across the junior officer said, "Yes, that’s the Yashi company. Here is the complaint letter, and the evidence: Yashi’s promotional flyers, and photos from their promotions, all proving that the company advertised their development as having contracted famous schools."

"But according to the administrative disclosure from the Changyi District education system, the two schools that the development supposedly contracted are new schools, not at all what can be considered prestigious."

"And many homeowners actually buy properties based on the schools, so I believe this constitutes false advertising."

The evidence was sufficiently clear and comprehensive, and after carefully examining it, the junior officer also had a better idea. Or it could be said that, at the moment, virtually every real estate developer in Jingzhou had some problem or another.

Advertising ploys like "contracted with prestigious schools" could be seen everywhere with just a casual look around.

Still, the complexity of housing issues can’t be underestimated. Although they are called commercial houses, they are not simple commodities; the implications are too significant.

Nevertheless, the junior officer said, "Alright Lawyer Tang, we’ve accepted your claim. I’ll give you a receipt here, and if there really is a problem, we will definitely investigate it thoroughly!"

Old Tang smiled upon hearing this and said, "That works."

If this had been a few years earlier, when real estate was extremely hot, to be honest, Old Tang would have been prepared for an administrative lawsuit. The district market regulation wouldn’t really be able to look into developers like Yashi; upper-level officials would need to approve any action.

But now... it’s not so certain.

He didn’t tell the other party that he had already filed a lawsuit. It wasn’t necessary to mention such a trivial matter. Anyway, if the court’s judgment found false advertising had occurred, and the regulatory investigation later decided it wasn’t false advertising, then things would get interesting...

At that point, should he initiate an administrative lawsuit, he certainly couldn’t lose.

Old Tang quickly returned to the law firm, and from there it was just waiting for the court session.

Time is always the cruelest; almost every day, the world witnesses all sorts of separations and farewells, but nothing can stop the march of time.

The chill of early spring was gradually fading, and Jingzhou was slowly warming up.

However, inside the Yashi Jingzhou branch, Chief Legal Officer Old Niu was not feeling so pleasant.

This morning, the company received a summons from the Changyi District Court, along with documents like the complaint. Old Niu saw the administrative disclosure response right away.

"So, what’s the situation, Old Niu? You said last time that there hasn’t been a case like this with a double refund of the deposit in our country. What’s happening now?" Deng Erfeng asked from beside him.
