"What do you mean 'not a reason'? I said it's useless, so it's useless... Fine, fine, if you want to keep it, then keep it. It's not going to be of any use anyway," said the staff impatiently.
"How can you claim it's 'not going to be of any use'? I've meticulously prepared this evidence, and you take one look and declare it useless?" Tang Fangjing replied calmly.
"I've already told you about the statute of limitations—can't you understand? How are people like you even working as a lawyer? Even if your case gets filed, it'll be dismissed immediately, get it?" The staff retorted.
"Dismissed?" Tang Fangjing unhurriedly opened his briefcase and pulled out a thick legal tome—the Civil Code!
Then, without haste, he flipped to Article 193 of the Civil Code, pointed to the provision, and said, "See this? The People's Court shall not proactively apply the statute of limitations provisions."
