Chapter 151: Chapter 90: You Wanted to Withdraw the Complaint Yourself (Extra for Brother B of the Silver Alliance!)_4
```
"If it really won't work, I suggest you find another law firm. Our firm is not taking this case anymore, but I've said everything that needs to be said,"
"and I have recordings of it all," Old Song said to the group of homeowners in front of him.
This was the result he and Old Wang had agreed upon: a case that was blatantly unenforceable, especially one involving a group.
If they took this on, Tengda and Lawyer Tang's reputation would be tarnished.
Old Yu, squeezing through the crowd, was equally agitated. It was his life savings at stake, and he no longer cared about saving face.
He pushed his way through and said, "What about me? I had already signed the contract!"
Upon hearing this, Old Song glanced over and responded, "Your contract has already been terminated. I remember Lawyer Tang refunded fifteen hundred yuan to you all, right? Now you have no ties with our firm anymore."
Ah? Old Yu was stunned on the spot, and other homeowners who were about to speak also froze.
They were the ones who had come last time asking to withdraw the lawsuit, and they had been smug about the fifteen hundred yuan refund, when the developers had given them ten thousand yuan.
And now it was no good?
Especially for Old Yu, he stood in shock for quite a while before he began to slap his own face, striking himself brutally...
But it was no use now. An opportunity missed is missed for good, and Old Song didn't even bother with him.
No matter what they said, it was useless. Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Then we'll find another law firm. I refuse to believe that no one will take such a case in Jingzhou, it's not like Tengda is the only law firm here."
"Exactly, let's go, no point in wasting words with them!"
It was obvious that emotions were running high. Some people are like this: they say nice things when they need you, but the moment you refuse, they turn on you faster than a dog.
Old Song didn't care. With Tengda's current reputation, there was no shortage of cases in Jingzhou.
The rest of the homeowners continued to argue for a while, but seeing that it was futile, they could only leave.
It was said that many law firms were thrilled that day. For the unscrupulous ones, as long as there was money to be made, they didn't care about the nature of the case.
Being unable to enforce it had nothing to do with them. Winning the lawsuit was all that mattered, right?
The contract breach had already resulted in the property being overdue for over five years. Even a dog could win that case…
Lawyer Tang, in the hospital, naturally didn't know about these farces. Even if he knew, he couldn't be bothered to care, having already done all he could back then.
He went out of his way to lay everything on the line for them to sue, and when they didn't, what more could he possibly do? Without their commissioning, could he sue on his own behalf?
However, being in the hospital was truly terrifying for Lawyer Tang, watching helplessly as his life's time ticked away, the mental pressure was immense.
On the contrary, the hospital's doctors and nurses all thought of Lawyer Tang as a tough guy among tough guys!
During wound dressing changes, Lawyer Tang never uttered the word "pain." Instead, he even learned how to clean a wound and how to bandage it.
So, Nurse Qi Xin watched in disbelief as Lawyer Tang sprinkled the medicine on his wound himself. It looked painful to her, but he remained completely composed.
Lawyer Tang learned these skills in anticipation of the future, not wanting to rush to the hospital for every minor injury.
It's not like there was anything else to do anyway.
But to the nurses, while Lawyer Tang was commendable in every aspect, it seemed that his mental issues were becoming more serious...
They would often see Lawyer Tang alone, chuckling at the wall as if he were seeing something, but as soon as someone entered, he would immediately return to normal.
Gradually, time moved into September, and before he knew it, Lawyer Tang had been staying in the hospital for nearly two months.
In that time, he learned how to bandage and stitch wounds, so long as they weren't the kind of severe lacerations, he could mostly handle them himself.
He also made many explorations into the system. For instance, the system panel could now play movies. Any movie or TV show he had watched could be played...
The private messages on the short video platform were full of messages, as if netizens from all over the country were seeking his help. Lawyer Tang was constantly filtering through them.
If Jingzhou couldn't activate a task temporarily, he planned to travel elsewhere after being discharged.
However, the days of waiting were not wasted, as on September 3rd, Lawyer Tang received the verdict he had been waiting for.
"Defendant Li Shuwei, guilty of misappropriation of funds, *** organized crime, provoking trouble, and operating a gambling den, to be punished with multiple concurrent sentences, is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of 200,000 yuan!"
"Defendant Wang Yanlong, guilty of attempted murder, is hereby sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve!"
Li Shuwei's litany of charges was all provided by Wang Yanlong, who faced the possibility of receiving the death penalty as he was a repeat offender, though attempted murder might be mitigated. Four years ago, he was involved in a fight at a hotpot restaurant which landed someone in the hospital.
Although he was later exempted from criminal punishment due to active compensation, he was still criminally liable.
Furthermore, the property becoming a construction failure was a direct result of their misappropriation of funds. Not content with lawyers defending rights, they went so far as to attempt murder...
With motives despicably vile, methods brutally cruel, causing egregious social impact, and posing a grave threat to society!
Wang Yanlong's face turned blank upon hearing the verdict; a death sentence with a reprieve was something he had not anticipated. He was already in his forties...
The remaining truck driver was sentenced to life imprisonment and collapsed upon hearing the verdict, as his four hundred thousand yuan was embezzled money which was to be recovered.
Essentially, he gained nothing and instead ended up with a life sentence.
Lv Yazhen, Jiang Hanyun, and others who provided funds for Wang Yanlong's criminal activities, as accessories to the crime.
They were respectively sentenced to five years, eight years, and other fixed-term imprisonments.
Additionally, President Zhang of the bank and Yao Yuehua had been dismissed and, due to suspicions of bribery, were handed over to the prosecutor's office for indictment...
Old Han counted his money, satisfied. He had tried, but to no avail.
Inside the hospital ward, Lawyer Tang put down his phone. These verdicts were specifically communicated to him by the court.
After much effort, the task had finally reached a conclusion.
Thinking about the pile of private messages on his phone, those weren't just messages; they were lives!
"Doctor, doctor, I'm all better now, I want to be discharged!"
After shouting, Lawyer Tang looked at the system panel. The completion rate for this task probably wouldn't be high, since he only helped some homeowners get refunds, but the houses hadn't been handed over.
