Inside the law firm.

Gu Chen looked at Liu Xiaonian, whose eyes were already red.

Gu Chen said, "Have a sip of water, don't worry, take your time and explain. Calm your emotions first, and then tell me exactly what happened."

Liu Xiaonian took a sip of water and calmed down.

Liu Xiaonian said, "Lawyer Gu, it's like this..."

Gu Chen listened for over half an hour.

Gu Chen understood the whole story.

The result was that Liu Xiaonian's brother, Liu Jun, jumped into the river to commit suicide.

The reason Liu Jun jumped into the river was simple, which left Gu Chen somewhat puzzled.

Liu Jun's girlfriend, Wangzhu, wanted to break up with him and used silent treatment. Liu Jun's attempts to reconcile failed, and feeling that life was meaningless, he chose to jump into the river to commit suicide.

The critical point is he jumped into the river... Before jumping, Liu Jun transferred 88,000 yuan to Wangzhu, hoping to use money to win her back.

In the end, he failed.

In despair, Liu Jun jumped into the river...

By the time people found out, Liu Jun had already left this world, leaving his family in sorrow.

After listening, Gu Chen was still somewhat shocked.

Liu Jun was someone deeply infatuated with love, purely driven by love.

In fact, Liu Jun was rather handsome and could make money. He was very good at gaming and could earn two to three hundred thousand a year.

With an annual income of two to three hundred thousand, Liu Jun should have been living comfortably.

Someone earning twenty thousand a month should be able to live quite enjoyably.

Yet Liu Jun didn't even dare to order takeout costing more than ten yuan, let alone treat himself to better takeout...

All the money Liu Jun earned was transferred to his girlfriend, Wangzhu.

And Wangzhu was an exploiter, crazily asking Liu Jun for money.

Gu Chen looked at the chat records between Wangzhu and Liu Jun.

All were messages sent by Wangzhu to Liu Jun....

[Honey, transfer 999 to me]

[Honey, can I have a bit more pocket money this week? I need to spend seven or eight thousand these days, and after spending it, I won't have much pocket money left]

[Honey, send me pocket money, I want to eat barbecue]

[Honey, can you spare some cash? I want to make it ten thousand, I'm short of four thousand]

[Honey, you haven't bought me a bag in two years, I also want a new phone]

....

These chat records were shocking.

During their relationship alone, Wangzhu asked Liu Jun for more than 500,000 yuan.

Buying phones, bags, pocket money, living expenses, bracelets, cosmetics, gold... she wanted to buy everything.

In fact, Liu Jun didn't even know Wangzhu at first.

After knowing Liu Jun earned a lot, Wangzhu began pursuing Liu Jun.

Wangzhu would constantly post beautiful selfies on her social media, showing her collarbones, legs, and navel.

Coupled with her decent skills in photo editing and beautifying, and various chatting tactics, Liu Jun, who had little experience in relationships, was completely captivated and thought he had found true love.

After getting together, Wangzhu started manipulating Liu Jun, who had no realization of it.

Actually, Liu Jun wasn't stupid; he knew what kind of woman asked for money.

But Liu Jun was deeply entangled, willing to give Wangzhu everything.

He had nothing left, giving everything to Wangzhu, yet she still found a reason to break up with him.

In less than three years of dating, she took over 600,000....

Is this something a person can do?

Liu Jun gave Wangzhu a family card...

This way, Wangzhu could directly spend money from Liu Jun's bank card.

But Wangzhu used the family card with her friends, spending money lavishly every day, with no consideration for Liu Jun not daring to order takeout exceeding ten yuan....

The issue had already gone viral.

It exploded on Weibo's hot search.

The entire internet erupted.

Countless people supported Liu Jun, with many mourning his death.

Aside from these, some netizens criticized Liu Jun, and even his family...

Because they believed Liu Jun was purely foolish and blamed his family for educating him to be like this.

Others spoke up for Wangzhu, stating it was all voluntary on Liu Jun's part, arguing that men shouldn't be so stingy, as spending in a relationship is quite normal.

The matter continued to escalate, and Gu Chen received this case without even taking a break.

Gu Chen roughly understood the case.

If they wanted to pursue Wangzhu's criminal liability, it currently seemed quite difficult.

After all, Liu Jun committed suicide.

No one could do anything about suicide; you couldn't exactly say Wangzhu deliberately murdered him.

It was impossible to convict Wangzhu with the existing evidence.

If it were merely about the money, there wouldn't even be a need to find Gu Chen.

They just needed to sue, and any lawyer could help recover much of the money Liu Jun transferred to Wangzhu.

After all, they weren't married, just in a relationship, so retrieving the money wasn't very hard.

Gu Chen said, "All the money was transferred by Liu Jun to Wangzhu, except for certain symbolic amounts like 520, which can all be recovered."

Liu Xiaonian said, "Lawyer Gu, we can't get it back... because my brother marked many of the transfers to Wangzhu as [voluntary gifts], including the 88,000 transferred before his suicide, also marked as [voluntary gifts]. My brother wanted Wangzhu to have a change of heart, but she only agreed to return 100,000, and doesn't want to return any of the remaining 530,000, claiming it was freely given by Liu Jun. She said if we're not happy, we can sue her."

"I've consulted a lawyer, and once marked as [voluntary gifts], it's considered a gratuitous transfer, so we can't get the money back... Lawyer Gu, I know my brother is gone, but I just don't want all his money being spent by this woman. I want her jailed, and to return all the money she previously spent! Why should she spend my brother's money? They saw each other less than ten times in two years, and only twice in the last six months, yet she kept asking my brother to transfer money, to spend on her...."

Liu Xiaonian said, "Lawyer Gu, I'm willing to pay a 100,000 lawyer's fee to ask you to handle this case, regardless of whether we can win, I must sue Wangzhu! Her statement, she even flirted with other men after my brother was gone. A woman like this is so disgusting, I can't stand her, I just want her to pay the price."

After Gu Chen listened, he felt the case was indeed challenging.

All Liu Jun's transfers were marked as [voluntary gifts], making it difficult to recover the money.

And to convict Wangzhu...

New evidence would be needed.

It was impossible to convict her based on current evidence.

Meanwhile, many lawyers online had expressed willingness to help Liu Xiaonian with the case, some even offering to do it pro bono.

Gu Chen looked at Liu Xiaonian, asking, "How old are you this year? Are you in school?"

Liu Xiaonian replied, "Lawyer Gu, I'm eighteen, a freshman in college."

"My parents don't understand these things, so I took leave; I want to pursue justice for my brother!"
