Chapter 798: Chapter 255 I Also Know a Bit of Martial Arts!_2 Chapter 798 -255 I Also Know a Bit of Martial Arts!_2 Liu’s boss didn’t speak; the rage in his eyes had been kicked away, now filled with clarity.
The Judgment Chief approached, looked around and then said, “Is everyone alright?
Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?”

Upon hearing this, Liu’s boss hastily said, “Judge, he hit me in the courtroom, aren’t you going to do something about this?”
Old Tang nearly burst out laughing when he heard this.
Classic!
I talk to you about the law; you talk to me about violence.
Now when I get violent, you want to talk about the law.
Fortunately, besides being somewhat skilled in martial arts, Tang knows a thing or two about the law.
...
He immediately retorted, “Hit you?
No, no, no, that was legitimate self-defense.
There are cameras in the courtroom, and with so many people here, everyone saw that you threw the first punch!”
“My counterstrike was only in response to your attack, solely intended to stop it, and it was a single blow.
This kind of self-defense, you won’t find anywhere else!”
Putting aside who was right or wrong, even the Judgment Chief felt like giving Tang a thumbs-up after that remark.
Indeed, just now Lawyer Tang was practically demonstrating self-defense.
Even the most critical legal professionals couldn’t fault him.
After all, Liu’s boss was swinging a chair while Lawyer Tang was unarmed, justifying a broader margin for self-defense.
Not to mention, he had countered at the precise moment Liu’s boss was mid-swing with the chair, and with only one kick…
Perhaps the kick was a bit forceful, but how does that matter?
The law cannot be so stringent in these instances.
If it were, self-defense might as well be abolished.
Therefore, the Judgment Chief quickly said, “You shut up.
Lawyer Tang is right.
You started the violence, and you were armed while he was defending himself legitimately.
Security officer, has the bailiff been called yet?”
Liu’s boss, dissatisfied, retorted, “Legitimate defense?
Who can testify to that?”
“I’ll testify for him if that’s okay.
If you’re not convinced, call the police.
The bailiff has arrived, right?
This man has repeatedly insulted others during the trial and continued to do so despite warnings.
Now, escort him out of the courtroom!”
Escorting him out of the courtroom was just the first step; the punishment would be discussed after the session ended.
Soon two bailiffs approached, one on each side of Liu’s boss, and then everyone saw how Liu’s boss positioned his arms as if “self-taught” to the perfect posture…
Bailiff: “(°ー°〃)” It was quite absurd, feeling like this guy had been through this before.
Surprisingly, upon seeing the bailiffs, Liu’s boss became very compliant, quietly following them out.
But the trial could no longer continue, and the Judgment Chief, upon confirming that the plaintiff had no further comments, declared a recess.
Wang Qingqing quickly asked, “Brother Tang, does…
does your foot hurt?”
Hearing this, Old Bai decided not to look at the other side anymore; it was a good thing that Liu’s boss had been escorted out or he might have exploded again upon hearing that.
But even if he did explode, it wouldn’t change anything.
He was out-argued on legal grounds and outmatched in a fight…
Old Tang said with a chuckle, “It’s alright, I’ll just rub it when I get home tonight.”
Ever since he acquired the “provocation” skill, he hadn’t used it much, but this time, he found it quite effective.
Liu’s boss was already short-tempered, and with the skill in play, he was like a ticking bomb.
Little did Old Tang expect that he would actually resort to physical violence!
In fact, it wasn’t rare for people to become physical in courtrooms, but in labor cases like this, it was usually the laborers who would lash out…
The ones getting hit were normally the company’s legal counsel or the lawyers they hired.
Lawyers are professionals in these matters; they seldom lose their cool.
On the other hand, laborers, unaccustomed to such situations and already feeling aggrieved, lose their temper when the opposing lawyer blatantly lies!
Unable to hold back, they resort to violence.
This time, however, the tables had turned unexpectedly, with the company boss being the first to lose it and strike.
Since there was an attack, Old Tang wasn’t going to let it slide.
As the saying goes, “Practicing punches without building the skill is to end up with nothing in old age.” Here, the “skill” refers to “criminal law.” Those accustomed to conflicts know inner strength is most important.
After waiting for approximately twenty minutes, the Judgment Chief returned and delivered the verdict on the spot!
Verdict One: The labor arbitration was appropriate; hence, Kaisen Company’s lawsuit request is dismissed.
Verdict Two: Kaisen Company shall return the withheld salary amount of 1,800 yuan to Yang Tiezhi.
The judgements struck Old Bai’s face like hammers.
Soon after, Old Bai met Liu’s boss outside and briefed him on the situation.
Liu’s boss truly felt like cursing.
“Not only did we lose the labor case, we have to refund the money we deducted?
Fine, keep appealing.
I’m not going to just give up the money easily; go through the full process!”
At that moment, the court hadn’t given any recommendation for Liu’s boss’s punishment as such decisions usually require leadership’s approval.
So Liu’s boss didn’t think he had any real issue; after all, at worst, it would just be a matter of paying some money.
If he could delay payment for a day, that was a day gained.
The appeal process for the second trial had to be fully pursued.
Old Bai, after some hesitation, asked, “Then, Liu’s boss, should we present the labor contract for the appeal?”
Liu’s boss fell silent for a moment.
Despite his disdain for Tang Fangjing, he now had to admit that not presenting the labor contract meant almost certainly paying double wages.
After some thought, he responded, “Let’s present it, then.
You come up with the reason.
We certainly didn’t intentionally withhold it.”
“Yang Tiezhi probably thinks he’s going to get all that money.
He’s dreaming!”
Old Bai nodded and returned to prepare the appeal documents.
