What's wrong with this lawyer?!

```

Upon hearing this, Lawyer Zhou said, "It's generally not a problem for a few months, and you can even make payments in installments... the difficulty of enforcement is a common issue. A single enforcement judge might have hundreds of cases on their hands, so you can't expect things to move quickly."

"When it comes down to it, even if the court really has to take action, they'll start with a judicial detention, which is usually just fifteen days. It won't involve criminal charges unless it's absolutely necessary."

Upon hearing this, Ding Deshui immediately said, "Okay, Lawyer Zhou, I won't bother you anymore. I'll see you tomorrow at the usual spot."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Deshui turned to Ding Detu and said, "All set, I've just clarified everything with Lawyer Zhou. Let's just drag this out as long as we can."

"Mr. Huang thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he won the case, huh? Wishful thinking!"

However, after thinking it over, Ding Deshui added, "By the way, Lawyer Zhou also mentioned that the court might directly deduct money from your account, so how about you transfer the money out of your account?"

After thinking for a moment, Ding Detu nodded and said, "Sure, we can't let Mr. Huang get comfortable. A few days of detention is nothing."

There are such people in the world who do things that provide no benefit to themselves and may even be harmful, simply to spite you.

The two chatted further, and Ding Detu took out his phone, ready to transfer all the money from his account to his son's.

However, just as he unlocked his phone and before he could proceed, a text message notification popped up.

Ding Detu was instantly stunned and said, "Brother, I've... I've just received a message. It says my bank account has been frozen by the judicial authorities!"

What? Ding Deshui, who was leisurely drinking tea across the table, quickly grabbed the phone to look. Sure enough, the text message clearly stated that several bank accounts under his name had been frozen by the Lincheng Court due to refusal to comply with the judgment and decree!

This... despite Ding Deshui's self-proclaimed grandiosity, he hadn't expected the accounts to be frozen so soon!

"Hang on, what's going on, brother? I have four bank cards with tens of thousands on them, all frozen. Didn't Lawyer Zhou just say that it would take months, at least?" said Ding Detu, his face filled with confusion.

Ding Deshui was equally baffled and shook his head saying, "I... I don't know either."

From the court's phone call to the freezing of the accounts, it hadn't even been an hour. Wasn't that too quick?

"Younger brother, don't panic just yet. Wait a moment, let me ask Lawyer Zhou again."

Thirty seconds later, the call connected and Lawyer Zhou responded with a trace of impatience in his voice, "Director Ding, what's it now? I've got clients on my side here."

Upon hearing this, Ding Deshui hurriedly said, "Sorry to bother you, Lawyer Zhou, but this is really urgent. So, what if I... I'll pay the consultation fee, okay? I'll pay according to your normal rate. There shouldn't be a problem with that, right?"

On the other end, Lawyer Zhou's face lit up with a smile as soon as he heard the offer of a consultation fee, "Ah, Director Ding, what's our relationship? Alright, tell me what it is."

Ding Deshui quickly said, "Here's the thing, Lawyer Zhou, remember the execution matter I called you about earlier? My younger brother just received a freeze notice from the court. His bank cards are all unusable now!"

What? This time Lawyer Zhou was taken aback.

"Wait a second, Director Ding. You're talking about the same matter from earlier, right? Didn't you say the court just called a little while ago? And now you've already received the freeze notice?"

"Yes, Lawyer Zhou, that's why I'm asking you. What's going on here?" Ding Deshui said anxiously.

Lawyer Zhou fell silent, completely stunned.

This was a gap in his knowledge. The Higher Court, the Enforcement Bureau... when had they become so efficient? How was he not aware of this?

Wasn't this just an enforcement turnover? A private dispute between individuals, and they managed to freeze the accounts in less than an hour?

Even if you run the procedures, it takes time! Freezing requires the court leadership's signatures, and they also need to communicate with the bank. This... is the enforcement judge your father or something?

Ding Deshui's voice came through the phone again, pulling the stunned Lawyer Zhou back to reality.

"Ahem, Director Ding, this... this is indeed a little fast. Maybe the Enforcement Bureau was just processing the freeze, so in this case, there's nothing you can do. They'll go straight to the deduction."

Upon hearing this, Ding Deshui's expression changed. After paying a consultation fee, Lawyer Zhou had essentially explained nothing.

"But, Lawyer Zhou, this..."

Ding Deshui wanted to ask something else, but Lawyer Zhou left him with, "Director Ding, I need to attend to other clients," before hanging up.

Inside the village committee office, the Ding brothers looked at each other, and eventually Ding Deshui said, "Younger brother, there's nothing we can do. The court will directly deduct from your account."

Ding Detu said nothing, feeling more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. He had planned on dragging things out, with ideas of being the "textbook deadbeat" often mentioned online, even considering a good argument if the court officials came to him.

He had even thought about the possibility of detention.

Yet, the court didn't bother with any negotiations, they went straight for the root of the issue...

Why must there be people like Tang Fangjing in the world, poking their noses where they don't belong, it's no wonder they meet an early end!

As time passed to evening, Old Tang was in a hotel in Lincheng, chatting with Wang Qingqing.

Of course, most of the conversation was on Wang Qingqing's part. As an assistant, with Old Tang out of town, she was genuinely bored.

If it were another lawyer's assistant, they might be called upon to help in such a situation, but Wang Qingqing had a special status, so all she did at work these days was daydream.
