What's wrong with this lawyer?!

The young man retorted, "Compensate? Why should I compensate? Look at how he beat me up, I'm already in this state and still have to pay?"

"Shut up, you were the one who started it, you at least have to compensate him for the medical expenses!" the police officer said.

On the other side, Ju Haiqing felt his anger soaring to the skies.

"You were the one who cut in line, you were the first to curse, and you were also the first to throw a punch, and you're still refusing to pay? I don't accept that either. It was clearly his fault, can't I defend myself when I'm attacked?"

Hearing this, the police officer sighed and then pointed at Ju Haiqing, saying, "Come on, step outside with me for a moment."

Once Ju Haiqing came out, the officer began, "Now, based on the situation, it's considered a fight between the two of you. If you don't agree to mediation, we will have to file a case, and you both will be subject to administrative detention."

"He's been detained before and doesn't care about administrative detention at all. You, on the other hand, will also be detained if you don't agree to mediation. What's the point?"

Ju Haiqing responded, "I'm not after anything, I just feel it's unfair. It was obviously his fault!"

"Why can't you be reasoned with? Fine, if that's the case, then we can only proceed with filing a case for investigation, understood?"

How much social experience one has can often be seen at a glance.

Old hands who have been through the process and newbies give off completely different vibes.

Especially someone like Ju Haiqing, who usually stays inside, only venturing out to write books—a pure newbie—who unexpectedly turned out to be so steadfast.

"Investigate if you must, I'd rather be detained than agree to something so unfair, especially since I'm not studying for some civil service exam!" Ju Haiqing said through clenched teeth.

Web novel authors are, after all, craftspersons who rely on their writing as a means of livelihood. As long as his readers continue to support him, he really isn't worried about the impact.

What he actually fears is the detention center itself...

The police officer shook his head, but he did not try to persuade him further. Normally, they preferred mediation to save trouble, but if both parties were stubborn, then filing a case was also justifiable.

From filing the case to getting a result would take some time. As Ju Haiqing walked out of the police station, he felt his anger was so intense that he could hardly bear it.

He felt he had done nothing wrong. If the other person was trying to cut in line, he certainly couldn't let him.

The other person cursed at him, and he didn't retaliate with words, but the other person eventually started hitting him, and now he was facing detention. How was that fair!

As he pondered, Ju Haiqing got into his car, which he hadn't yet taken in for repairs.

He didn't go home but went straight to Tengda to ask the magical Lawyer Tang for advice on what to do.

They say that if you win a fight, you go to jail, and if you lose, you go to the hospital. So, what should one do in such a situation—just run away?

Defend yourself and it's termed a mutual fight?

On the way to Tengda, he went upstairs and was surprised to see that the security guard at the door had been replaced.

"Hey, where's the previous security guard?"

Standing at the door now was Zhao Bin, who responded with a simple smile, "He quit."

Zhao Bin had been working as a security guard at Tengda for a while now. After quitting his last job to visit Old Tang, he had planned to look for new employment.

However, after Old Tang learned about his situation, he brought him back to Tengda and asked Old Wang to hire him as a security guard for the firm.

Old Wang wasn't initially convinced, but upon learning that Zhao Bin was willing to risk his life with a knife, he immediately agreed.

Zhao Bin was diligent and helpful with the lawyers in the office, whether it was moving something or other work.

For Zhao Bin, working in Dongfang City was just a means to earn money, and since it was all about money, he might as well do it in Jingzhou, as he was originally from Hanxi Province.

Ju Haiqing didn't know any of this and just thought that the security guard seemed nice.

He went straight in and knocked on the door, soon a familiar voice called out, "Come in!"

Pushing the door open, he saw Old Tang lying in a massage chair, with a girl tidying up things on the desk.

"Eh? What brought you here? Did your readers chase you home for not updating?" As soon as Old Tang looked up and saw it was Ju Haiqing, he joked.

Old Tang was, of course, jesting; he could tell that Ju Haiqing needed help with something.

"That Qingqing, you can go out now," he said.

The assistant demurely nodded her head, exited and even closed the office door behind her.

"Alright, Old Ju, what's the matter? Get to the point, I was enjoying the pleasures of female company here," said Old Tang, laughing again.

The assistant was a young woman mainly for the visual pleasure of the office, devoid of other intentions.

He went from terminal illness to the Body Protection Skill, and now it seems he's become a coveted prize.

Terminal illness? Orphan? Or a renowned lawyer?

Apparently, some girls are into that, and now he's bombarded with a bunch of annoying calls every day, sigh.

Ju Haiqing responded, "Lawyer Tang, here's the situation. I was driving back the day before yesterday..."

After briefly stating the case, he continued, "What do you think I should do? I just can't swallow this. He started the fight, and I'm not allowed to fight back? I defend myself and then it's called a mutual fight, and now I'm facing administrative detention. How is that fair!"

As Old Tang listened to Ju Haiqing, he checked his system panel again just to make sure he wasn't seeing things. This guy had brought him another task!

What is this, a half-brother from different parents?

On the system panel, a new task had silently activated.
