What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 545 - 180 Is this what you meant by someone paying the lawyer’s fee?_6

Materials for over a hundred people, that’s not a small number.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.

"No way, you have... you have this many plaintiffs?" The staff member was dumbfounded by the pile of materials in front of them.

Old Tang smiled shyly, "No choice, most of the elderly in the village were deceived."

There was nothing to do, really nothing to do, the staff member could only start checking the materials because the other party was Tang Fangjing, because he was handling a public welfare case.

Dongshan County and Jingnan County were adjacent to each other, and what happened in Jingnan was well-known on the Dongshan side.

That was Old Tang’s intention with his previous actions, to first ’slaughter the monkey’ so the rest of the ’chickens’ would naturally cooperate.

The disturbance he caused in Jingnan County was too big; only the leaders’ specific punishments were publicized, leaving a whole bunch of staff implicated.

Time flew by to three days later, and Xu Shouchang, who had long left Dongshan to come to Jingzhou City, was pondering their next move.

They definitely couldn’t stay in Jingzhou and were preparing to try their luck in Hanxi, where the rural areas were more desolate but also meant less trouble from others.

Those farmers who only knew how to bury their heads in their fields were the easiest to deceive.

However, just then, a phone rang.

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello, is this Xu Shouchang? This is Dongshan County Court. Where are you right now? We need to deliver a subpoena to you and to a few of your friends..."

Ah? Xu Shouchang was stunned by what he heard. That damn lawyer actually filed a lawsuit!

But there couldn’t be that many people, unless the whole village had gone crazy.

Otherwise, in all his travels, he had hardly encountered anyone who had brought a lawsuit against them.

So Xu Shouchang just hung up the phone. Let them file a lawsuit, what good would it do them if they won?

He took out his phone, intending to transfer the money away first, but at that moment he discovered that his account had been frozen.

"What’s going on? What about you guys, check what’s happening?"

A person behind him said, "Boss, my account’s been frozen too."

"Damn it, it must be that lawyer’s doing, f*ck, now we really have to go to court!"

Old Tang was meticulous in his planning, facing a gang that would run off at the slightest inattention, he certainly needed to take preventative actions.

Already at the police station, they found that these people roamed everywhere, so they had to target their weak spot, their bank accounts. Once those were frozen, let them run wherever they wanted.

After all, ’the fleeing monk can’t escape the temple.’

You can’t blindly trust the police’s mediation. For public security issues like fights, if the mediation isn’t complied with, there could be administrative detention.

But for civil disputes, it’s different; non-compliance means you still have to go through legal channels...

Using freezing of assets as a way to resolve issues isn’t uncommon, and there’s also the technique of applying for bankruptcy to foster resolution.

In a past case, when people couldn’t get their deposits back from those yellow bikes, many were in line.

A lawyer directly applied for the bankruptcy of the yellow bike company at the Capital City Court, even though it hadn’t gone bankrupt at the time.

They then spoke to the court about wanting their deposits back. If you can’t cough up even a hundred bucks, how can you claim to operate normally?

In the end, the deposits were refunded.

Of course, that strategy didn’t work afterwards.

After talking with the bank, Xu Shouchang and his people learned that it was Dongshan County Court that had frozen their assets. There was no way out, they had to get in touch with the court again.

Two days later, back in Dongshan County, Xu Shouchang and company finally got the legal documents and were stunned by what they read.
