Chapter 60: Chapter 51: The Lawyer Going in Doesn't Affect the Law Firm Paying Compensation



The kicker is that this captured lawyer is "well-known" online as a professional...

"Holy shit, what\'s going on here? The trial was going just fine, and now the defendant is getting arrested? This is too exciting, today was not a waste!"

"I can\'t, I can\'t hold it in anymore, this has got to be the fastest persona collapse of an internet celebrity, right? Professional enough to send himself in. Hey, what the hell is \'virtual litigation fraud\' anyway?"

"Where\'s the director? Throw in a drumstick for you, I want to see the expression on Li Changming\'s face!"

"Giving the director a drumstick? This is a court, you soulless bunch, show some respect... Or maybe add a duck leg rice? Can\'t have more than that!"

The scene was somewhat chaotic. Many lawyers watching the livestream were stunned by the turn of events.

In Magic City, Old Zheng was about to explode with anger. As soon as he saw Li Changming being taken away, he hurriedly spoke up, accusing the opposition of foul play and underhanded tactics!

As a result, netizens who were previously all "Lawyer Li this, Lawyer Li that" suddenly changed their tune, eagerly calling friends to join the spectacle.

The evidence was clear, within just a few minutes, the number of times the livestream\'s link was shared had surpassed the previous hour of the trial...

The netizens couldn\'t care less about the details; everyone goes online to have fun, and what could be more entertaining than this!

In these circumstances, the lawyers were completely unable to get a word in. Old Zheng had barely suggested a conspiracy when in less than thirty seconds, his family\'s name was almost scorched...

In the courtroom, Li Changming was dazed for quite a while until he saw the police moving to take him away and finally snapped to his senses.

"Wait, wait a minute, comrades, there must be some mistake here. How could I possibly engage in false litigation? All the cases I take on are traceable!"

As he spoke, he struggled, reigniting the interest of the previously dozing spectators.

Indeed, amusement is the true nature of humans. Listening to ongoing trials is boring; it\'s this kind of drama that\'s truly thrilling!

The leading police officer spoke sternly, "Mistake? You know exactly what you\'ve done. I\'ll just say two names, Gao Xuanguang, Feng Jiping. What about now, got it clear? Behave yourself!"

Gao Xuanguang was the one who previously lent money to General Hou...

Those two had already been taken away, and even as they were escorted out, they protested vehemently, claiming it was their own money being reclaimed, and how could that be a crime.

Many doubted the effectiveness of that \'piece of paper\' from the court, but no one dared to test it; that document really does hold significant legal force.

Hearing this, Li Changming immediately shut his mouth; the police knew more than he had thought.

Watching Li Changming being led away, Ju Haiqing, who had been silent next to Tang Fangjing, was dumbstruck.

He had been enjoying the debate today, thinking Lawyer Tang was truly capable, but now, how could it be that the lawyer is getting locked up in the midst of the trial!

Previously, he thought a \'big deal\' just meant paying a hefty sum, but now it seems what he considered \'big\' and what Teacher Tang considered \'big\' were two entirely different concepts.

After checking his phone for a while, Ju Haiqing finally voiced his concern, "Teacher Tang, about this... now that the person\'s been taken away, how are we going to enforce the verdict of our case if he\'s in jail and probably unable to pay?"

This was also a question on many netizens\' minds.

Tang Fangjing was drinking water at the time, and casually responded, "We didn\'t sue him; we sued the law firm. It\'s the law firm that will pay, not a thing to do with the lawyer."

"You signed the contract with the law firm, too. Li Changming was just a lawyer dispatched by the firm. Got it? Don\'t worry, it\'s a big law firm."

So that was it, no more worries.

The adjournment ended, and the livestream of the trial began to stutter due to the influx of viewers.

Judgment Chief Old Pang remained composed as he began reading the verdict.

"The court finds that Shengda Law Firm failed to fulfill its contractual obligations as the litigation representative of Ju Haiqing, which led to established losses for Ju Haiqing."

"As for Shengda Law Firm\'s claim that the compensation amount complies with the principle of equality of rights and obligations, charging legal fees... therefore, the court does not accept this."

"Ju Haiqing participated actively in the preservation of assets, and the judge had clearly informed him of relevant matters; he must exercise prudent caution toward his property and affairs..."

"In summary, considering the basic facts of the case, the degree of breach, actual losses, and other factors, the court determines that Shengda Law Firm shall bear 80% of the liability, and Ju Haiqing shall bear 20%..."

"Pursuant to... the verdict is as follows:"

Accompanied by the sound of everyone standing up, Judgment Chief Old Pang pronounced the judgment.

"The defendant, Shengda Law Firm of Handong Province, shall compensate Ju Haiqing a loss of 3,785,434 yuan and its interest within ten days of this judgment coming into effect... The legal costs of this case shall be borne by Shengda Law Firm."

At the issuance of the verdict, the livestream room crashed; netizen commentary reached a peak!

Before this, even the netizens thought that at most, some legal fees would be refunded.

But the result? They actually pulled it off. While it wasn\'t a full 100% responsibility, it was an impressive outcome. When have you ever seen a lawyer fail to enforce a case and yet have to pay up!
