200% completion, reward six months of life

Originally, Old Tang, just as before, glanced at the panel and prepared to close it. However, this time, he couldn\'t take his eyes off it.

Six months? What the hell is six months?

Hadn\'t everyone already entered an era where the rewards typically lasted a year? Could it be that they thought he had a tad too much life left, so they decided to dock his rewards?

All he had been thinking about was flattening out for a while, to relax his mind!

Of course, it might also be because this case was a minor one, Old Tang consoled himself inwardly.

Sigh, life really isn\'t easy these days.

"Lawyer Tang? Lawyer Tang?"

Chi Yan was about to reply when she noticed that Lawyer Tang in front of her appeared to be looking at something with a tilted head. She immediately became curious.

She had heard about it on the Internet... yes, heard some rumors. According to them, Lawyer Tang wasn\'t quite right in the head, with problems including delusions and schizophrenia.

Disturbed by these calls, Old Tang snapped back to attention and hastily said, "Cough cough, so, where were we just now?"

"You were asking what I was really thinking."

"Oh right, what is it you\'re thinking? Do you have any specific demands?" Lawyer Tang continued.

"Specific demands... I just feel like I can\'t let this go. Their attitude at that time—I can\'t forget it even now. But I guess it only amounts to some monetary compensation?" Chi Yan hesitated to say.

She usually browsed the internet, and there had been many reported cases like this, none of which seemed to have a favorable outcome.

"Yes!" Old Tang said decisively, "The fact is, most of these cases end in a settlement, and then the other party pays a little to settle the matter."

"That\'s if they still want to save face. The shameless ones won\'t even pay, and then you can\'t settle; you have to just take the bad luck."

This was the reality, almost like the compensation set by labor laws.

The Civil Code prescribes so many torts, but when you seek justice, you mainly get back what you are entitled to, with very little punishment for the other party.

Some say there\'s interest involved. Sure, there is interest.

But think about it, what is that amount according to regulations? If someone commits a tort against ten people and only two or three victims don\'t seek justice, that person basically makes a net profit without any loss.

And nowadays, when the damage from a tort is minor, very few people will take it seriously because it\'s not worth it. The cost of seeking justice might even exceed the compensation you\'d get.

After all, there are no statutory punitive damages.

Ultimately, few people are willing to really go to court unless they absolutely have to, unless they cannot survive without such a lawsuit, and only then will they go to the court.

Before Chi Yan could finish her thoughts, Old Tang spoke again, "But that\'s other lawyers. You know my reputation from the news. When I take action, things could escalate greatly."

"It depends on whether you can withstand the pressure. After all, at that point, the other party might even seek you out to pay damages. If you refuse, they might get physical."

Chi Yan felt numb listening to this. Stories of someone insisting on paying her, and possibly resorting to violence if she didn\'t agree, were baffling to her.

But Lawyer Tang did have a reputation.

After careful consideration, Chi Yan finally spoke, "Just do as you see fit, Lawyer Tang. I won\'t object to anything. Worst case, I\'ll quit my job and go back to my hometown."

"My hometown is in a village in a county under Lüzhou. The entire village shares the surname Chi. I\'d like to see who would dare to come to my village and get violent!"

Just thinking about the disgusting behavior of those people made Chi Yan feel uncomfortable. Being slandered for doing something right was unbearable!

"I like your attitude. Alright then, I\'ll ask my firm to prepare the electronic contract. You just follow the steps to sign it. As for the fee, I won\'t charge you extra, just the regular rate is fine."

A normal case could range from a few thousand to tens of thousands, but Old Tang always charged by the lowest standard—one thousand yuan.

Chi Yan started to sign the electronic contract on Old Tang\'s phone and proceeded to pay as well.

She believed that whatever money Lawyer Tang managed to recover would definitely be more than one thousand yuan.

This time, there were no glitches on Old Wang\'s end, and the document was stamped promptly.

"Everything\'s set. Why wait for another day when we can get things done today? Do you have time today?" Old Tang stood up and said.

Although she had just finished a night shift and should be catching up on sleep, Chi Yan still nodded, "No problem, Lawyer Tang. I\'m available."

Glancing at her, Old Tang said as they set off, "Let\'s get this over with quickly; you look like you haven\'t had a good night\'s sleep. Once this is done, you can go back and sleep."

"It\'s tough when you can\'t sleep well."

Chi Yan quickly checked her appearance with her phone. Lawyer Tang had even noticed that.

"So, Lawyer Tang, have you been unable to sleep well, too?" After pondering a bit, Chi Yan decided to ask.

Old Tang answered nonchalantly, "Late-stage cancer. It hurts all over; the pain keeps me awake at night."

Chi Yan was immediately silenced, suddenly remembering this fact—Lawyer Tang had late-stage cancer.

This news had been reported online before, with specialists from the Oncology Department of Handong First Hospital even providing confirmation.

Nowadays, as everyone saw Lawyer Tang in good spirits, they conveniently forgot about his condition.

Today, with Lawyer Tang\'s own words, Chi Yan realized the severity of his situation.

Indeed, Lawyer Tang had been diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer nearly two years ago. Perhaps the treatments had been effective, allowing him to live this long, but as a nurse, she deeply understood the pain that comes with it.

In the hospital, patients with late-stage cancer suffered immensely...
