Chapter 206: Chapter 105: You Just Don't Understand the Basic Principles of Recording! (Silver Alliance Bonus Chapter)
"Hugging Miss, you're so pitiful, you should have been brave like this earlier!"
"Seriously, I can't even imagine how Miss has been coping these past two years."
"Marital rape, huh? The prosecution is about to press charges, and the court actually rules to give all the assets to the other party? Why is it always Jingzhou that has problems in the past two years? We really need to investigate this place properly!"
Below, various comments were supportive—if one only looked at the video posted by Kang Xinxin, one would truly feel she was very wronged.
At first, not many people dared to directly criticize Old Tang because there certainly were people who faced danger while helping with rights protection, but very few of them survived...
Old Tang belonged to the extremely rare category who essentially had a 'get out of death free' card.
But as everyone knows, 'get out of death free' card is just for show—the online crowd, when they lift someone up, they elevate him to sainthood!
He can't have any flaws, not just legally but also morally; he has to be like a saint. Otherwise, even if they find just a small issue, whether true or false, he'll be attacked from all sides.
Gradually, some people dared to speak up.
"Is that lawyer Tang Fangjing? I'm really surprised; Tang Fangjing is actually taking on a rapist's case? I don't understand, didn't he once struggle against developers for those incomplete properties?"
"Above, you can know a person's face, but not his heart. He might have done that, but it doesn't mean that's who he is. I think at the very least, Lawyer Tang should give an explanation!"
"+1, I've always admired Lawyer Tang, but he definitely did something wrong in this case. Even I as a legal layman know that marital rape is still rape. How could you let the victim suffer a second injury?"
These comments were not many and were immediately attacked as soon as they appeared, but Old Tang still saw them.
He just didn't quite understand, what was the other party trying to do, wanted netizens to cyberbully him?
That was wishful thinking; what Tang Fangjing had today, all came from his own hard work!
If you don't accept it, try getting hit by a dump truck yourself.
Forget it, he originally wanted to wait until he woke up to start sorting things out, but seeing how the other party was not planning on waiting that long.
Getting up, he organized the evidence he had at hand, and immediately dialed the number of Prosecutor Liu.
The prosecution office was busy too, the video suddenly released online by Kang Xinxin brought not a small amount of pressure on Jingzhou's judicial system.
Indeed, nobody dared criticize Old Tang, but Jingzhou they dared to, and even more so in Handong Province!
And because many internet-famous lawyers had jumped out to popularize the law on marital rape, it was now a complete mess online.
Just then, the phone rang. Prosecutor Liu picked up and saw the caller: "Hello, Lawyer Tang? What's up? You've discovered new evidence?"
"New evidence for the Zhao Lixiang rape case? Okay, come to the prosecution office directly; I'm here right now."
After hanging up, Prosecutor Liu's heart suddenly tensed. If it were another lawyer, he could simply assume the other party was spouting nonsense.
But this was Tang Fangjing, if he said there was new evidence, that definitely meant there was new evidence!
Still, could there be a turning point in this case?
After waiting for quite a while, Lawyer Tang was seen pushing open the office door and walking in.
"Good morning, Prosecutor Liu," Old Tang greeted as he came in with his briefcase.
But Prosecutor Liu glanced at his face and hurriedly said, "Lawyer Tang, come sit down. What happened to you?"
His face was surrounded by dark circles, yet it was extremely pale, a sense of weakness so evident that even Prosecutor Liu, with no medical expertise, could feel it.
Walking seemed to cause his whole body to tremble...
Old Tang responded with a smile: "I didn't sleep all night because of this evidence, cough cough..."
As he spoke, he began to cough violently as if he was about to cough out his lungs.
"Stop talking, Lawyer Tang. Maybe you should go to the hospital first?"
"I, I'm fine, just a minor issue, I'm not dying yet. So, Prosecutor Liu, let's look at the evidence first, cough cough, let's focus on the evidence."
In the cold weather, Jingzhou didn't have heating, and poor Prosecutor Liu felt his own forehead beginning to sweat.
"Okay, take out the evidence, I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
After returning with hot water, Old Tang had already taken out several pieces of evidence.
"Here, Prosecutor Liu, this is the first piece of evidence. You've seen it before, the bank transaction records. All the property was transferred before the divorce lawsuit was filed."
Prosecutor Liu nodded: "Yes, this has also been checked by the police, but it doesn't prove anything."
Old Tang then said: "This is the second piece of evidence, which I waited all night for. There's another connection between this Kang Xinxin and the lawyer she hired."
As he spoke, Old Tang took out the photos showing Feng Xuegong entering the house where only Kang Xinxin was present late at night and leaving under cover of darkness at 5 a.m. the next day.
Prosecutor Liu was bewildered by the photos: "Hold on, Lawyer Tang, you're saying you stayed up all night just to wait outside and take pictures?"
"Yes, Prosecutor Liu, I know this definitely violates privacy rights, but this was the only thing I could do. Lawyer Tang sustained eye bags but spoke quite casually."
Getting serious about this—the secret photography was definitely illegal, but there was no choice. Given the existing evidence from the prosecution, Lawyer Tang couldn't possibly clear the charges just with eloquence.
Prosecutor Liu didn't mention anything about privacy rights as these were matters of civil infringement, not for the prosecutor to interfere with.
Looking at the time of the photos, late at 9 p.m., and then early at 5 a.m., it was pretty cold in Jingzhou. Wasn't Lawyer Tang afraid of simply keeling over in the freezing night?
