Lawyer Guo was urging Fu Xiaoyu and her husband to apply for a retrial at the High Court. Old Tang took the judgment and left directly; he, of course, knew the situation across the board: it was clear to him that it had already become an industry to them.
The one who took the case was in legal sales, using the name of a prominent attorney from above, but the case was actually done by the junior lawyers below.
Power is only accountable to its source. At this point, the junior lawyer is accountable to the senior attorney above, not to the client. Hence, what the other side initially explained was utter nonsense, not even as good as what Hua Guangxia had said, yet they still insisted on applying for a retrial.
It was all for money; as long as the lawyers are paid, they can go through all the procedures for you.
A lawyer deceiving people can be much smoother than an ordinary person's lies because they are professionals.
