The two-hour adjournment has ended.
The court's findings have been released.
The evidence is conclusive! Zhao Bingqi indeed cheated!
Judge Li Kang delivered the verdict on the spot!
Li Kang said, "Zhao Bingqi used high-tech means to cheat in the legal exam. The evidence is conclusive, and the circumstances are severe. Zhao Bingqi is sentenced to 12 months in prison, has his lawyer's qualification revoked, and is permanently barred from participating in the legal exam."
Zhao Bingqi: "???"
Zhao Bingqi was in shock, frozen in place.
He never imagined that Gu Chen would uncover the things he did in the past.
Is there something wrong with Gu Chen?
In a lawsuit, shouldn't he be finding evidence for Wangzhu and Liu Jun's case?
Instead, Gu Chen dug up his past cheating.
Initially, Zhao Bingqi could have comfortably been a video blogger, pretending to be an elite lawyer, promoting products, and making money from videos.
When Wangzhu approached Zhao Bingqi for the lawsuit, he didn't think the case would be that difficult.
After all, Liu Jun jumped into the river to commit suicide, and it certainly had little to do with Wangzhu.
And Liu Xiaonian's attempt to get back the hundreds of thousands from his brother seemed impossible to Zhao Bingqi.
How could he retrieve hundreds of thousands?
A lot of this money had special meanings in transactions, and some were voluntarily gifted by Liu Jun to Wangzhu.
This case... Wangzhu didn't even need to hire a lawyer; she just needed to return part of the money.
Zhao Bingqi just wanted to breeze through the case and achieve an easy victory.
But he didn't expect to run into the Lawless Madman, Gu Chen, right from the start...
Zhao Bingqi only heard that Gu Chen had won all four cases he handled, but he never expected the Lawless Madman to be this formidable...
With just a couple of moves, Gu Chen managed to send him to jail.
Now, Zhao Bingqi's life is completely ruined.
In the courtroom, Zhao Bingqi was at a loss, sweat beading on his forehead.
"I shouldn't have cheated. I plead guilty..."
"But during my career as a lawyer, I never did anything wrong. I did my best to popularize law online, and my legal knowledge was accurate. I never used my lawyer's identity to do anything wrong..."
Zhao Bingqi sighed and stood there.
But it was all to no avail.
He would still have his lawyer's qualification revoked and have to serve twelve months in prison.
Zhao Bingqi was about to be taken away.
Leaving only Wangzhu at the defendant's table, clueless.
Wangzhu: "????"
The lawyer she hired was thrown in jail by the plaintiff's lawyer?
How was she supposed to fight the case now?
And the defense lawyer she hired turned out to be an impostor lawyer...
Wangzhu chose Zhao Bingqi because he was famous and affordable.
Now they say that Zhao Bingqi wasn't even a professional lawyer? Even his lawyer's credentials were obtained fraudulently?
Wangzhu said, "Lawyer Liu, what should I do now?"
With no one else to turn to, Wangzhu could only pin her hopes on Zhao Bingqi. No matter what, he surely knew more about the law than she did.
Zhao Bingqi sighed and said, "Don't worry, just be honest. Don't you have evidence? The 520 and 1314 transactions Liu Jun sent you don't need to be returned. The other transactions marked as voluntary gifts don't need to be returned either. The law recognizes this. Just return a bit of the money, and it shouldn't be much, maybe only a few thousand or tens of thousands."
Wangzhu said, "Huh? I still need to return tens of thousands? What about my depression? I still want compensation for emotional distress."
Zhao Bingqi said, "I've said everything I need to help you. Don't worry, the rest depends on the court's judgment."
Only then did Wangzhu nod.
She felt relieved.
Yes, what was she afraid of?
With Zhao Bingqi taken away, she didn't have to pay the lawyer fees.
Anyway, the case was now quite clear.
At worst, she'd return some money. What if the court ordered her to return money?
She had already transferred all her assets elsewhere; she had no assets now.
Even if the court ordered her to pay, she couldn't pay.
Who would be responsible for her emotional distress compensation?
Liu Xiaonian made her feel upset, and he didn't have to be responsible for anything?
Unfair!
In any case, she wouldn't pay a cent.
The live-stream audience was shocked at this point.
[Lawyer Gu! My hero!!]
[Incredible! As the plaintiff's lawyer, he managed to send the defense lawyer to jail again!]
[Is this the famed Lawless Madman? You shouldn't casually mess with him.]
[I've always said you shouldn't mess with the Lawless Madman, but Zhao Bingqi still did, and now look where he is?]
[Can they send Wangzhu to jail too, now that the opposing lawyer is gone?]
[I doubt sending Wangzhu to jail is possible, even returning the money will be hard.]
[Ah, such a pity for Liu Jun... Money was spent, but nothing accomplished, and he didn't even touch Wangzhu.]
Netizens were furiously typing comments.
Wangzhu turned to Judge Li Kang and said, "I'm unwilling to return the money. I've already returned 100,000 to Liu Xiaonian's family and think that's enough. The rest was just normal expenses during our relationship, why should I return them? You could say the 630,000, much of it was voluntarily given by Liu Jun, and I think returning 100,000 is quite commendable. Why am I expected to return it all?"
"Did the time spent over those two years mean nothing? Liu Jun gave money, but I gave my youth and time. Was that easy for me?"
"Anyway, the chat records are evidence, a lot of Liu Jun's money was labeled as voluntary gifts, and I also gave time and feelings. Returning all the money is impossible."
Wangzhu didn't want to return any money.
At this moment, Liu Xiaonian said, "You must return the money. Is it yours? It was all earned through my brother's hard work, every single deal. He worked hard to earn it, while you freely spent his money. Do you think no one knows you used his money at nightclubs tipping others? Was it his money that you casually spent on others?"
"And what about the time and youth you claim to have invested? Didn't my brother invest time as well? He gave all his time, even his life, and yet, two days after breaking up, you're off with someone else, and now you say you won't return the money? You must return it!"
Wangzhu scoffed, "But Liu Jun willingly gave me the money. So if he gives it, I spend it, and now he wants it back? On what grounds? For all the times I called him 'husband' for nothing?"
At this moment, Judge Li Kang banged his gavel.
"Order in the court!"
Judge Li Kang turned to Gu Chen.
"Does the plaintiff's lawyer have anything else to add?"
