The contract was signed, and the staff immediately arranged a time with Tang Fangjing.
"Lawyer Tang, if we’re fast, we’ll send you the encrypted files within a week. Of course, our dealings... cough, cough, we’ve dealt with each other before, you know the drill."
Old Tang had no issues with it; after all, familiarity breeds simplicity. With this experience, he believed that the next time would be even smoother.
As Old Tang began another operation, the buzz online slowly faded. Gamers lowered their banner and rested their drums, as playing games was ultimately more important to them.
The Meitian Company started compensating, and netizens were flaunting their refund screenshots online every day. It wasn’t about the amount; it was purely for show.
Apart from some viewers who were still waiting for Old Tang’s video, others had already shifted their attention to other hot topics.
"So, where’s the video? Where’s the promised video summarizing such a big event?"
"Hurry up and release the video, I really want to know the ins and outs of the matter."
Netizens left various messages in the comment section of Old Tang’s updates, and of course, many people were also mentioning Ju Haiqing.
Ju Haiqing had returned to Jingzhou. He couldn’t stay away for long and was just as curious. Lawyer Tang had already won, so what was he still doing in The Capital, and why hadn’t he released the video?
When he called to ask, Old Tang only said one thing. Enjoy new chapters from freewebnovel
"What do you mean ’won’? It’s still too early for that."
Too early? Ju Haiqing was confused. Logically, it was he who had initiated all this, yet now he, the person directly involved, had no clue about Tang Fangjing’s next move.
He could only share the situation online.
As a result, the netizens were once again puzzled. What did ’too early’ mean? Was Tang Fangjing planning to pull off a major event for them?
For Old Tang, it indeed was too early. Checking the backend task progress, it wasn’t even close to two hundred percent. This fully showed that safeguarding rights through public opinion, at least in the system’s view, did not advance progress.
But no worries, Old Tang had already received encrypted files from various platforms, and the first thing he saw was the personal information of that big-shot lawyer.
Screen name "Big-shot Lawyer", real name Lu Xingqun... Old Tang was dumbfounded by this maneuver.

Actually, it was already possible to determine that this guy definitely wasn’t a lawyer, but right now there was no evidence.
What’s the problem with impersonating a lawyer? Generally, if you brag about being a lawyer without involving money, there’s no issue, there’s no fraud charge. So, under what circumstances is there a problem?
The problem arises when you, clearly not a lawyer, charge fees for legal consultancy and representation while pretending to be one. That’s where issues can emerge, and in severe cases, it might even be considered fraud!
Old Tang had come across a similar case in his past life. On ShakeHand or some platform, there was a streamer who had bought lawyer attire, a lawyer’s certificate, and then started a live broadcast claiming to be a lawyer and charging consultation fees.
In the end, that streamer was sentenced to one year and six months in prison for fraud.
Well, originally he had wanted to initiate a private criminal prosecution, but now there’s no need for that; just collecting evidence and reporting it to the police would suffice.
Evidence was easy to collect. First, using the other party’s information, they could directly verify its authenticity on The Capital’s Bar Association’s official website. Then extracting content from the live stream where he claimed to be a lawyer and conducted consultations would be seamless.
The rest didn’t need much effort, just let the police handle it.
Among these people, Old Tang was planning to pursue private criminal prosecution against about a dozen, but now this shortcut had emerged, so congratulations to this B.
In fact, it took less than half an hour for Old Tang to gather all the evidence. Unfortunately, the title of his streams was "Big-shot Lawyer Will Consult for You", and it was clearly stated that it was a paid service.
With all the evidence in hand, Old Tang headed to the police station near the residence in the eastern district where the person in question lived.
Facing the evidence, neatly fed like a meal by Old Tang, the receiving officer fell silent. All the information was complete, and the evidence was exceedingly ample...
Perhaps the only minor detail missing was the amount involved, but that was truly easy to check.
Since the decision was made to file for fraud, the defamation charge was also conveniently added in.
Having settled matters in The Capital, Old Tang sent Wang Qingqing back to Jingzhou and embarked on an airborne journey himself.
Why were there only over five hundred lawsuits this time, but a dozen private criminal prosecutions? Because upon comparison, three people had previously received administrative punishment...
It’s puzzling if they have cognitive issues because it has already been stated that recidivism within two years of such punishment means serious circumstances, qualifying as a crime.
Yet they still jumped out this time. Even though they changed phone numbers... the person remained the same.
This made Old Tang feel a bit speechless. If they had used someone else’s phone number to register, safeguarding his rights wouldn’t have been so simple on his end.
If they had used an eighty-year-old granny’s number, it would have been even more difficult...
Old Tang embarked on a lengthy litigation process, while in The Capital, the police had already filed a case—after all, such a case was meat on the chopping block that couldn’t be refused.
Lu Xingqun, a.k.a the Big-shot Lawyer, was living a carefree life. On one hand, he gained popularity by openly confronting Tang Fangjing, and on the other, he made a decent amount of money through other means.
In any case, he now hoped for similar incidents so he could continue cashing in.
But Lu Xingqun also feared Tang Fangjing might pursue criminal charges against him. Besides issuing a public apology, he mentioned Tang Fangjing every day during his live streams.
