What's wrong with this lawyer?!-Chapter 623 - 198: Seeking Revenge, Right? I Love Seeking Revenge the Most!
Lv Ziyang blinked; he now had two questions that he hadn’t figured out. The first was why this Lawyer Wang Dengfeng would come to the trial to observe, and the second issue was, it seemed like they said before, "If Tang Fangjing wins, I’ll take his surname," right?
Although fathers and sons generally have the same surname these days, taking his surname seemed to have no connection with who one’s father is...
But now, this old classmate not only helped him win the case, but he won it big time, so naturally, whatever he says goes.

Even if this old classmate really wanted to be Lawyer Wang’s father, Lv Ziyang would support him wholeheartedly!
So, Lv Ziyang immediately nodded with a smile and said, "It seems that’s what was said, whoever wins the case gets to be the dad..."
Judgment Chief, who had been packing up his things and was ready to leave, saw this scene, messed up the materials he had organized, and sat down to slowly sort them out again...
No rush, since it was already time to get off work anyway, and there would be no issue going home a bit later. Read new adventures at novelbuddy
Not only the Judgment Chief, but the clerk, the jurors, and Lv Ziyang’s parents and others all looked over; after all, betting on the outcome of a case to determine fatherhood was quite stimulating.
Also not leaving was Old Niu, although the wager did involve the lawsuit concerning them, but you have to admit, this kind of thing is really attractive...
Wang Dengfeng, who was sitting in the gallery, immediately became anxious and subconsciously retorted, "What nonsense are you all talking about? I said that if Tang Fangjing won the case, I’d take his surname!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Old Tang across from him suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Lawyer Wang, I didn’t mean you, how come you mentioned that before? So, with the return of 400,000, did I win or lose?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Dengfeng’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought, shit, it seems like I fell into Tang Fangjing’s trap again.
The damn guy must have done it on purpose. How could a lawyer like me make such a mistake? They say Tang Fangjing’s mind is smaller than a needle’s eye, but it looks like this guy doesn’t have a heart at all!
He didn’t speak, but Judgment Chief, who was up there organizing materials, suddenly said, "Lawyer Tang, you definitely won the case, there’s no doubt about it."
What’s needed is just the double deposit. In the end, we awarded you double the deposit, so that’s definitely a victory. Anyone who says you lost is slapping me in the face!
Unless the appellate court overturns our decision after an appeal, it counts as a victory!
Upon hearing this, Old Tang immediately showed a smile on his face and said, "Ah, so it is a victory. Then... then taking my surname, Tang Dengfeng?"
"Oh, Lawyer Tang, I think that’s a very nice name, definitely worth considering. Alright, Old Lv, let’s go."
After finishing, Old Tang called out and Lv Ziyang and his family all got up to leave, leaving only Wang Dengfeng standing there, his face alternating between pale and flushed, before he finally just bolted.
Old Niu, after having his fill of the excitement, took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, President Deng, we... we lost, double the deposit. I’ll file an appeal in a moment, but hope isn’t that great..."
President Deng’s furious voice came from the phone: "Old Niu, what’s the matter with you? Didn’t you say there was hope before? What the hell is going on?"
Old Niu hesitated but still said, "President Deng, I couldn’t help it, the other side had extremely solid evidence, anyone would have lost this case..."
He couldn’t possibly admit he got played in court. Even if he hadn’t been played, it wasn’t easy to win, but it certainly wouldn’t have been as disastrous as it now was.
It truly was a disaster. He didn’t stand even the slightest chance of retaliation.
"Then appeal, at least follow through with the procedure." President Deng dropped the words and hung up abruptly.
Old Niu sighed. While he probably wouldn’t lose his job, it was likely he would be benched for a while.
Meanwhile, Old Tang and Lv Ziyang’s family left the court and were taken straight to a restaurant because, as Lv Ziyang said, they absolutely had to treat him to a meal!
Unable to refuse, they went along; an old classmates’ dinner naturally revolved around reminiscing about school days.
As he ate, Old Tang tried hard to remember things from his past life, finding memories of this life more like a book, whereas those of his previous life were always vivid, just lacking critical information, and he couldn’t figure out why.
Lv Ziyang spoke excitedly, and Old Tang listened with relief, grateful that there were no "what happened to your university crush now" kind of stories.
Otherwise, if a plot like "university crush is unhappy in marriage, gets divorced, and comes to seek advice from Old Tang" were to arise, he definitely wouldn’t be able to handle it, at least Old Tang wouldn’t. Such third-rate plotlines.
Turns out, when some former classmates found out that Tang Fangjing had become a top lawyer, they were quite bewildered, considering it a bit too much of a career leap.
After the meal, Old Tang returned to his law firm. Realistically, that was about as much interaction as old classmates had. If the other party appealed, then he would make another trip to the second trial.
At Yashi Company, Deng Erfeng was also reporting the situation to the head office. It wasn’t so much about the 400,000, after all, for a real estate company, 400,000 wasn’t that significant.
The main issue was... this involved a double deposit compensation and a lawsuit against them. Theoretically, their branch was not a qualified legal person, and the defendant in fact was the head office.
In Tang Fangjing’s complaint, the defendant was stated as the head office. However, due to some reasons, they had essentially gone directly after the Jingzhou branch.
