Chapter 829 -266 Old Tang: I said I did nothing, would you believe me?_2

Otherwise, he would not have pleaded guilty and accepted punishment.

The confidence he had when he first went to the capital had long vanished, and now that he was out, he started to worry about potential retaliation.

The ones he reported were the village party secretary and the town leaders, people who were closely related to their lives.

It would be all too easy for them to make his life difficult.

Hearing this, Lin Youping’s once joyful expression gradually faded; now that he was out, all these had become issues.

Not long after returning to the village, Lin Youping heard some news.

...

“The party secretary is under investigation? Three town leaders were taken away? More than a dozen people in the county were taken by the Commission for Discipline Inspection? All related to my case?” Lin Youping looked at his relative in front of him, dumbfounded.

The relative said excitedly: “Old Lin, why would I lie to you? All these things have been posted online. Even the people who initially went to persuade you to return have been taken away!”

“Now everyone is wondering if you have some powerful connections. Otherwise, how could this have been handled so quickly?”

His relative was truly excited; this was a big deal for the county, having so many people and leaders investigated all at once was a rare occurrence in a small county.

They didn’t hesitate at all this time.

“Now the local gossip says someone tried to pull strings, but it was useless. People from the city came directly; pulling strings just did not work!”

As he spoke of these rumors, the relative grew even more excited. Although these incidents didn’t happen because of him, as everyone knows, having something happen to “a friend of mine” or “a relative of mine” could also be considered as happening to them.

This is also an interesting aspect of the internet today; many “a friend of mine” bad experiences are actually their own.

But still, if “a friend of mine” has done something impressive, that definitely wasn’t them, although they speak as if they are that impressive.

However, rumors aren’t entirely baseless; this incident was too sudden, and in a small place, it’s customary for people to try pulling strings.

No one expected that pulling strings would be futile this time, and some ended up being taken down along with their connections…

The overarching theme was “it’s better for me to find out on my own rather than having Tang Fangjing expose it,” which indeed frightened many in Changlu County.

Lin Youping was stupefied upon hearing this, which was even more astonishing than his quick exoneration!

After the relative left, he said: “Was all this done by Lawyer Tang? He hasn’t been in Lincheng for long, and he’s already done so much?”

Lin Yanan was also perplexed, knowing all too well that Lawyer Tang’s habit was to pursue matters thoroughly.

No matter what the issue was, no matter whom it involved, he had to pursue it to the end; this could be seen from his previous videos.

But with this matter, it seemed that Lawyer Tang had done nothing.

It was like he barely spoke in court, and after arriving in Lincheng, he mostly just went about his work and wasn’t seen reporting anything to the Commission for Discipline Inspection or the Supervision Commission.

It was truly incomprehensible, but Lin Yanan didn’t voice this.

Whatever means Lawyer Tang used to accomplish these things, that was his business. Originally, she hired Lawyer Tang with the goal of exoneration, and since that had been achieved, her demands were met.

Other matters were not hers to meddle in.

At Lincheng High-Speed Railway Station, Tao Dongli came to see off Old Tang.

After several exchanges, the two had developed some acquaintance.

Although Tao Dongli now hoped that the man opposite him would never come to Lincheng again, he genuinely admired him.

“Lawyer Tang, to be honest, I didn’t expect this turn of events either. I suppose it’s a lesson learned; stability is the most important, don’t you think?” Tao Dongli said outside the high-speed railway station.

Old Tang did not respond directly, instead saying: “I think I’ll go back to Jingzhou. Since they’ve given me this opportunity, I can’t just ignore it. I used to fantasize about making a change, but later I realized it was impossible.”

Law might be just law, but it is more than just law…

He once scoffed at other lawyers, thinking they had strayed from their studies and forgotten the true nature of law. Yet after so many years, he found that he had somewhat forgotten what the true nature of law was.

Jingzhou is good, the Bright District is even better. Here things like this don’t happen; coming here feels like coming home.

Waving to Tao Dongli, Old Tang turned and walked towards the inside of the railway station, humming as he went: “I am merely a leisurely person from Wolong Ridge…”

…

Upon arriving at Jingzhou, Wang Qingqing was already waiting there.

Seeing Old Tang, Wang Qingqing laughed: “Brother Tang, I remember you said before leaving that you’d be gone for at least half a year. Why, it’s only been a few days and you’ve returned. That was too quick.”

Old Tang ignored her, not knowing who had been teaching her, as she always spoke in double entendres now.

However, Wang Qingqing didn’t let up, continuing as she drove: “Brother Tang, actually, being quick isn’t really a problem. Like this time, being quick is good for everyone, don’t you think?”

“Right, Brother Tang, being too slow isn’t good either…”

Thus, amid Wang Qingqing’s barrage of words, Old Tang, sitting in the passenger seat, fell into a deep sleep.

He rarely dreamt, but this time he felt like he had many dreams and slept for a long duration.

However, upon waking, he discovered Wang Qingqing was still driving, and they were just over halfway to the law firm.
