What's wrong with this lawyer?!

But Lawyer Tang, he still maintains a very high spirit and never shows any sign of pain in public...

Chi Yan stopped talking and just silently followed. Right now, she particularly wanted to confront those online trolls; how could they smear Lawyer Tang like that!

Old Tang's face remained calm. He brought up the system panel, turning a blank part of it into a mirror so he could see Chi Yan's expression as well.

Although Old Tang didn't care much, putting on a bit of a show in front of a beautiful girl could brighten his mood.

Taking a taxi, they arrived at a police station near the hospital where Chi Yan worked, at Zhonghui Road Police Station.

Old Tang marched ahead, as if he was walking into his own home when they reached the police station.

Chi Yan followed behind, feeling particularly comfortable in her heart.

Having someone like Old Tang on your side is a nightmare for opponents but a reassuring presence for teammates: you feel secure.

Inside the police station, Officer Xiao Wang was sitting at the reception, ready for duty. Just as he looked down for something, a voice spoke:

"Hello comrade, I've come to inquire about something."

Xiao Wang looked up and saw a young man with an extremely pale face, holding a large briefcase and shaking slightly as he spoke.

He instantly became alert, "What would you like to inquire about?"

As he spoke, he signaled to his colleagues across the room to come over quickly—the situation looked a bit off.

Old Tang saw their subtle movements, but he was unconcerned and simply pulled out his credentials from his chest.

"I am Tang Fangjing, a lawyer from Tengda Law Firm in Jingzhou City. I am here at the request of Miss Chi Yan to assist her with a matter involving a traffic scam. Comrade, are you aware of that incident?"

At the mention of that name, the two officers who had gathered around were taken aback.

Compared to other places, those within the Jingzhou system were quite familiar with the name Tang Fangjing.

After all, he was the big shot who had initiated a major overhaul of Jingzhou's education system from afar, leading to the investigation of several leaders, even without ever having set foot in Jingzhou!

Xiao Wang's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Lawyer Tang, you're referring to Miss Chi Yan's traffic scam incident? Who's handling this case?"

He asked his two colleagues.

The colleagues shook their heads, one of them saying, "I'll go and check it out."

Xiao Wang, seeing Old Tang shaking as if he was about to collapse, quickly got up and said, "Lawyer Tang, perhaps you should sit down here and wait for a bit, alright?"

Late-stage cancer—who knew when complications would arise, especially since this guy had been diagnosed with late-stage cancer almost two years ago.

Chi Yan had been quiet all the while, but she then spoke up, "Yeah, Lawyer Tang, please take a seat and rest a bit. Don't push yourself too hard."

The other party was enduring constant pain, something that Chi Yan could hardly imagine what kind of willpower was supporting him.

Old Tang went with the flow and sat down, drank a couple of sips of water, and his complexion improved slightly.

At that moment, an officer inside came out and said, "Lawyer Tang, sorry for the inconvenience. The officer handling Miss Chi's case has been called out on duty."

"Called out on duty?" Old Tang replied with a smile, "No problem, I'll wait for his return here. I'm in no hurry."

While he was talking, he began to cough violently, as if struggling to breathe.

Scared, Xiao Wang hurriedly said, "Lawyer Tang, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance?"

"No need, no need, it's just an old problem. I'll just wait here."

Who dared let him wait? Xiao Wang quickly went out to make a phone call, and after a short while, an officer returned.

"Lawyer Tang, right? Hello, hello, my surname is Zhao. Miss Chi, I understand you want to resolve this issue, and I have been communicating on your behalf during this period."

"But with the New Year and everything, it wasn't easy to keep calling. Lawyer Tang, what's your take on the matter?" Officer Zhao said upon entering.

Chi Yan didn't speak. Old Tang directly said, "Hello, Officer Zhao. Well, we have two ideas in mind: one is to have them compensate."

"Their actions have caused significant psychological trauma to my client, and she hasn't been able to sleep well. Look how pale her face is."

Officer Zhao nodded quickly, not at all surprised by this request.

Everyone was curious why Lawyer Tang had come all the way to Jingzhou to take on such a case. Was it because of the girl's looks?

"Another thing, I want to ask if their behavior could be considered extortion." Old Tang continued.

The officers exchanged glances, and Officer Zhao said, "Lawyer Tang, whether this constitutes extortion, I'm not sure myself. You're here to resolve the issue, right?"

"I mean, if we could mediate and settle the matter, that would be fine, right?"

"The elderly man is over seventy years old this year. Even if you insist we take certain actions, there's nothing we can do given his age..."

"You understand these circumstances, Lawyer Tang."

Old Tang looked back at Chi Yan, then said, "Indeed, that is the case. So, Officer Zhao, could you call the other party now and see if we can resolve this matter?"

"The New Year's over, isn't it?"

Officer Zhao nodded and said, "Alright, Lawyer Tang, I'll make the call now."
