What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Li Wanting looked at her phone with a puzzled look in her eyes. What was happening? She had fought a legal case, and it seemed like suddenly the whole internet knew about it.

Moreover, the key point was that those who called her were cursing her, believing that her actions were akin to abetting a tyrant. Her phone kept ringing, but Li Wanting dared not answer the phone anymore.

Eventually, she directly took out the SIM card from her work phone. She really dared not answer any more calls.

The abusive language was particularly vicious, as if by fighting that lawsuit she had committed an unforgivable sin. The underlying message from those people was that she should go die quickly!

So, had she really made a mistake?

At the same time, in a community in Magic City, Yuan Jiayu, who was a full-time housewife, was continuously posting comments online. She was one of those who had called and cursed Li Wanting earlier.

Yuan Jiayu had a similar experience once; she was fired by her company during pregnancy. Although she got some money after a lawsuit, she still deeply loathed such circumstances.

After seeing the video Fu Xiaoyu posted, she began to despise this lawyer intensely...

Those who have gone through legal proceedings either trust lawyers completely or detest them immensely, and Yuan Jiayu was the latter. She believed that the entire lawyer community shouldn't exist, those who would twist the truth for money and dare to say anything!

So she called to curse them. As for whether the person being scolded would commit suicide over it, she didn't care; such women deserved it anyway!

She wasn't worried about anything else; she had cursed many people before and nothing had ever happened.

She had heard of someone getting sued before, but what of it? She hadn't said anything false.

At her home in Bright District, holding onto a sliver of hope, Li Wanting went online, then saw her entry on the trending searches.

Tengda's beautiful female lawyer actually speaks for capitalists!

What was more crucial was that people had started tagging Tang Fangjing.

"@Tang Fangjing, Lawyer Tang, I really want to know what's the deal with Tengda, why do they take any case at all? You originally became famous for charging exorbitant overtime fees, and now, you're taking cases of pregnant women being fired?"

"I am also very curious about the situation. This is completely different from what I imagined Tengda to be. I thought Tengda was the kind of law firm that speaks for ordinary people, but now, this?"

"I won't say anything else, won't that Li Wanting come out to apologize? Just for the sake of making money, totally careless, even though she's a woman herself!"

Li Wanting browsed briefly, and all she saw were netizens condemning her. After all, she wasn't Tang Fangjing; Old Tang had done things in the past.

Although it seemed like there was a force online continuously playing down his actions, what was done couldn't be undone.

Maybe he could be physically erased, like certain reporters back then, but in the realm of public opinion, Old Tang never had to worry too much.

Li Wanting was different. Before all this, she was just a regular lawyer, honestly taking on cases, honestly making money. She might be known as a beautiful lawyer, but she was just a pretty girl, that's all.

Pretty girls were abundant in this society...

So, it was normal for her to face such cyberbullying when something like this happened.

With the phone turned off, Li Wanting looked out the window, her eyes blank. Cyberbullying was something that perhaps only those who had experienced it could understand how terrifying it was.

It was a kind of all-encompassing verbal abuse and assault where the internet trolls would dig up everything about you through what we call doxxing.

Now, Li Wanting felt whether she really shouldn't have taken the case. After all, Fu Xiaoyu was pregnant…

She didn't know what to do, hesitated again and again, but still dialed a number.

If there was someone she could still trust now, it would definitely be Tang Fangjing.

Although they had joined Tengda together, they were now people of two different worlds.

On the other side, at home, Old Tang was lying in bed looking at the system panel, with cases involving the likes of Manager Liu and Manager Gao reaching the review and indictment phase, rumored to involve an incredibly large amount of money!

Some people were just born to thrive on criminal law, their audacity outstripping everything else.

Just then, the phone rang. He picked it up to see it was Li Wanting calling. Old Tang was somewhat surprised. Why would she be calling at this hour? Could it be she wanted to... inquire about a case?

He casually answered, "Hello, Wan Ting, what's up? Do you need something?"

From the phone's earpiece, Li Wanting's voice was heard: "Hello, Brother Tang, I have something here... can I consult you about something?"

"Of course, go ahead. I'm free anyway."

Li Wanting quickly started talking about the previous case, explaining the details very clearly—found pregnant upon starting the job, and already eight weeks into the pregnancy.

The company decided not to hire her anymore, preferring to pay compensation rather than keep her on, but the woman won the arbitration, demanding the company reinstate the employment relationship.

That was one thing, but she had taken the case and then out of nowhere, netizens started to attack her.

"Brother Tang, do you think I really shouldn't have taken this case? But I feel that the pregnant woman was indeed in the wrong. Just because she's pregnant doesn't mean she is right in everything, right?"

On Old Tang's end, the system panel had already recorded the case information, and at this moment he said, "You did wrong."

Ah? Li Wanting was startled upon hearing this and immediately asked, "Brother Tang, are you saying I really shouldn't have taken the case? But, but the pregnant woman..."
