Yan Kailong said, "I've finished my statement. Anyway, I don't know what crime I've committed. If you think I'm guilty, then I can only say, sure, sure."

"Lawyer Gu, if there's no evidence, after this case is over, I will definitely sue you for defamation. I still hope Lawyer Gu won't spend the rest of your life in prison. I heard Lawyer Gu just established a law firm; since you're already the head of a law firm, you should take responsibility for what you say. Trying to smear others randomly to boost your firm's performance? Then I'm afraid Lawyer Gu will suffer badly. Defaming others is a crime, you know?"

The online community was already in an uproar.

[This Yan Kailong is entirely unfit to be a teacher! No morality!]

[There's definitely something wrong with Yan Kailong. I feel Tang Xinran was pushed to death by Yan Kailong.]

[Idiot Yan Kailong!! Must be sentenced!!]

[You think just saying it has nothing to do with you makes it true? How is Lawyer Gu going to handle him?]

[Can the Lawless Madman do something about this Yan Kailong? Honestly, Yan Kailong makes me sick, acting all high and mighty.]

[Hahaha, it's over for Yan Kailong. He's up against the Lawless Madman, Gu Chen, yet he dares to threaten the Lawless Madman? Does he even know who the Lawless Madman is?]

[Yan Kailong is really gutsy, speaking to the Lawless Madman like that. I feel he's really finished.]

....

Fangda Law Firm.

Gao Yong said, "I feel this case has a turning point; Gu Chen has a chance to win!"

Young Master Xue said, "I don't think so. If it's really as Yan Kailong said, at most, they would transfer him or at worst, fire him. After all, it's uncertain whether Yan Kailong destroyed evidence intentionally. You must first determine if Yan Kailong discovered the evidence before you can decide if he destroyed it."

"Just like with Kang Guizhong, even though he was taken for investigation, as long as they insist they don't know if there is evidence, it's hard to convict directly."

"Gu Chen played his hand beautifully, but there are still flaws. My sister is learning from Gu Chen and feels she's not learning anything. Frankly, Gu Chen has some ability, but not much. Compared to many star lawyers at Fangda Law Firm, Gu Chen still can't compete; there's quite a noticeable gap."

Gao Yong said, "Isn't this evidence? I've seen Yan Kailong behave like this regularly. It can be said that if it weren't for him humiliating and beating, how could the choice of suicide even happen?"

Young Master Xue shook his head, "This only shows that Yan Kailong lacks morality as a teacher; it won't get him a conviction. It's like arguing with someone on the street, and in the next second, they get angry, jump into the river, and commit suicide. You might have to pay some compensation, but imprisonment is impossible."

Gao Yong: "...."

Young Master Xue said, "There needs to be evidence that proves indirect homicide or negligent homicide."

Gao Yong said, "Isn't this enough? Tang Xinran jumped off the building, and no one called 120, no one went to save her. Meng De Lake was busy deleting surveillance, Yan Kailong was busy moving desks, and Kang Guizhong was also busy moving desks, sealing the scene, maintaining order, and preventing students from crowding."

"At the time, only these few people knew what was going on. The remaining students didn't see the scene, and many weren't even aware of what had happened. They called 120, but only after a 25-minute delay, which is a major negligence!"

Young Master Xue sighed and shook his head, "This isn't indirect homicide; they just didn't call 120, like when an elderly person falls by the roadside, and passers-by don't call 120. Does each passer-by get sentenced in such cases? Is this the logic?"

Gao Yong said, "But their handling was problematic! It was because of them that led to Tang Xinran's death."

Young Master Xue looked at Gao Yong a bit disappointedly, "You've been a lawyer at Fangda Law Firm for so many years; you should calmly reflect on this case, as you're not thinking rationally."

Young Master Xue continued, "Lawyers must analyze calmly, and take care not to be swayed by emotions. Their handling was problematic and should be compensated with money, but leading directly to Tang Xinran's death is because of Tang Xinran's own actions, jumping off the building, unrelated to others, understand?"

Gao Yong: "..."

Gao Yong: "So, there's no way to convict them?"

Young Master Xue said, "For instance, Kang Guizhong will definitely be convicted. The nature of Kang Guizhong's actions is different. What he said to Tang Xinran practically drove Tang Xinran to death, so it's directly related. Coupled with the evidence provided by Gu Chen, Kang Guizhong is definitely guilty, and at least a ten-year sentence to start."

Young Master Xue continued, "But Yan Kailong and Meng De Lake, their situation isn't certain. Even if they are sentenced, it would at most be one or two years, lose a job, or perhaps not even lose a job. Once the storm passes, they could come back unless they're sentenced to more than three years, which might lead to job loss."

Gao Yong sighed, "Then this case..."

Young Master Xue said, "Gu Chen won, but that's about it. Without other evidence, you know and I know what Yan Kailong and Meng De Lake did, everyone is angry, furious, even wishing the court would sentence them to death, but the courtroom can't casually sentence; there must be evidence, not simply conjectures for a sentence."

"The evidence Gu Chen provided is still insufficient to conclude the case definitively. So this case ends like this, Gu Chen still didn't handle this case well, the preparation was lacking, otherwise it wouldn't have come to this situation."

"I think it's better for my sister to return, not to follow Gu Chen. She's not learning anything. Although Gu Chen has some level of ability, it's too low. Even opening his firm, at most, he manages a small firm, it won't go far."

Gao Yong: "..."

No one knew the case had reached this stage.

Yan Kailong didn't admit to anything, even planning to hire an attorney to sue Gu Chen.

Gao Yong and Young Master Xue were also analyzing the case... and Young Master Xue was quite disappointed.

Xue Qingqing was in the courtroom, looking at Gu Chen with admiration in her eyes.

"The boss is amazing! They must be sentenced!"

Xue Qingqing always followed Gu Chen closely, well aware of how much evidence Gu Chen had gathered.

Her boss... is truly incredible!!

They must be sentenced!

Yan Kailong, Meng De Lake, and Kang Guizhong all have to be put behind bars!!

Sentencing them to just one or two years would mean all the boss's effort had gone to waste, right?

Moreover, Yan Kailong and Meng De Lake haven't even acknowledged their mistakes, but instead, are threatening the boss.

The boss, known as the Lawless Madman, are they really ones who can be threatened?

At this moment, Gu Chen was preparing to speak!
