Chapter 506: Chapter 173 You got the school leaders sent in, and you want the school to pay for it?

Seeing someone taken away from a meeting like this is something I’d only seen in online videos before!

A counselor might be a figure to the students, but they are at the very bottom of the school’s hierarchy, not to mention that now the school’s leaders have all been taken away!

He racked his brain but couldn’t figure out what had happened to cause such a situation without any prior indication.

In fact, disciplinary departments often choose to take people away during meetings to deter others.

One such display has much more impact than half a day’s worth of meetings.

Such cases are usually handled by the disciplinary department, and it requires intervention from higher-level leaders.

The public security organs only assist until the investigation is clear, after which suspects of crimes are directly transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution.

The venue is a bit chaotic, and only one vice dean from the school’s leadership wasn’t taken away.

Now he’s come out to stabilize the situation, barely managing to finish the meeting.

The vice dean didn’t think much about it; his only thought was that a position at the top was now vacant…

As for the rest, once retired, everyone grows cold, let alone being taken away for investigation.

Inside the Xihong District Court, Old Tang still sat in the defendant’s seat; the case wasn’t over yet, as a judgment was needed first.

Dong Wenlu across took out her cellphone and kept making calls, anxious to find out what was happening with the school leaders.

Five minutes later, listening to the voice from the phone, Dong Wenlu’s face turned pale; the entire school’s upper echelon, basically anyone who could have profited, had been taken away for investigation.

Although she wasn’t a criminal lawyer, she wasn’t foolish.

Tang Fangjing had said from the start that he had already called the police!

So, he was responsible for all these leaders being taken in?

How dare he!

The Judgment Chief came back, and Dong Wenlu hurried over and said, “About that, we intend to withdraw the lawsuit.

Given the current situation, we can’t carry on with this case.”

The vice dean from the school had just told her to hurry and withdraw the lawsuit.

Against the backdrop of brewing storms, it was better not to create more trouble.

He wasn’t part of Dean Wang’s faction, and he had long been dissatisfied with their behavior.

Such important leaders relentlessly persecuting a student was an embarrassment if word got out.

So now he directly instructed Dong Wenlu to withdraw the lawsuit.

Dong Wenlu herself didn’t want to continue either, as the scandal was far-reaching, and she didn’t want to get involved.

In the legal profession, there’s a high risk of imprisonment…

After all, she was friends with Secretary Liu.

Taking money to fight a lawsuit wasn’t just any ordinary case.

The Judgment Chief wasn’t surprised; they often saw such things in the court.

The position of the head of logistics was crucial, and once that person was taken away, the leadership was usually not far behind.

“You’re late.

Go back and have the school draft a withdrawal application first.

I need to speak with Lawyer Tang now.”

Dong Wenlu, not having special authorization to act as an agent, could not directly file an application, and in cases that have entered the trial stage, the plaintiff’s withdrawal must be approved by the court.

Before a trial begins, you have countless opportunities to withdraw without any issues, but once a trial has started, if you want to withdraw, it’s up to the judge’s discretion.

After all, to put it bluntly, this could be considered a waste of judicial resources.

However, in this case, the circumstances are unusual; an institution suing an individual, and then a bunch of the institution’s responsible persons all get arrested…

“Lawyer Tang, what’s your view on this?” Dong Wenlu looked at Old Tang and asked, with the Judgment Chief listening by their side.

“You mean withdrawing now?” Tang Fangjing frowned and said, “Why would you withdraw the lawsuit?”

Dong Wenlu’s expression was also ugly as she said, “Lawyer Tang, why withdraw?

Several leaders from the school have been taken away; it’s pointless to continue the case.”

“Moreover, withdrawing would be good for you too.”

Old Tang replied directly, “Good for me?

I don’t think it’s good at all.

You filed a lawsuit when you wanted to, we put in so much effort on our side, and just as we’re about to win, you want to withdraw.”

“What do you take the court for, a placewhere you can come and go as you please?”

Dong Wenlu’s eyebrows knitted together; she didn’t want to argue with Tang Fangjing, as he was a lunatic.

So she turned to the Judgment Chief instead and said, “Judgment Chief, according to Article 148 of the Civil Procedure Law, whether to grant a plaintiff’s request to withdraw a lawsuit before the announcement of judgment shall be decided by the people’s court.”

“There’s no need to consider the defendant’s opinion, right?”

The Judgment Chief nodded, about to say something.

He actually also preferred the school to withdraw the lawsuit—less said is better, if it could be withdrawn, that would be ideal.

However, Old Tang, with disdain, said, “Article 148 of the Civil Procedure Law indeed does not require the consideration of the defendant’s opinion, but equally, the Supreme Court’s interpretation of its application states that applications to withdraw a case should not infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of the state, collective or other individuals.”

“Judgment Chief, I hereby file a counterclaim in court.

I believe that Jingzhou Vocational and Technical College has engaged in frivolous litigation and abused their right to litigate!”

This was his real goal.

Tang Fangjing never just aimed for “victory” in his lawsuits; winning didn’t represent everything.

In this case, it was simply the release of a supervisory video, without a single falsehood, and yet here was all this trouble, culminating in a lawsuit for an infringement claim.

Winning the case would prove what?

That his actions were correct, which is, in a sense, another way of “proving innocence,” but should it end there?
