The driver of the WENJIE M9 was about to call the police at the hospital entrance.

Someone was trying to scam him for money.

He gave the other side a hundred thousand only for the sake of his wife.

But why should he give that hundred thousand to Yan Guizhen?

Yan Guizhen was obviously trying to pull a scam.

She wants to make a hundred thousand like that?

Lawyer Gu and Xue Qingqing had just finished their investigation inside the hospital.

The driver of the WENJIE M9 recognized Gu Chen and quickly grabbed his arm at first sight.

"Hello Lawyer Gu, I have something I need your help with." said the driver, a bit shocked; he knew Gu Chen was in Jincheng for a case but didn't expect to meet him here.

"What's the matter?" Gu Chen asked, "I can't take any new cases right now; I have a case ongoing."

The driver of the WENJIE M9 said, "It's like this, Lawyer Gu, I just got scammed by Yan Guizhen. I was in a hurry to get my wife to the hospital, so I gave her a hundred thousand. She extorted that amount from me, claiming ten thousand was stolen from her. I had no choice but to give her the money due to today's special circumstances. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given her a penny."

The driver had heard of Yan Guizhen from the news; many drivers had some intel about her ways of finding people to scam.

Gu Chen said, "Let's exchange contact information and sort out and send me all the evidence you have."

The driver nodded, "Alright, I'll send you the video from the dashcam, along with the transfer records and evidence. I have Yan Guizhen's WeChat QR code."

Gu Chen nodded, "OK."

The driver asked, "Lawyer Gu, can I get the money back? I...."

Gu Chen said, "You can get it back. Your transfer of a hundred thousand can get her sentenced to three to ten years. Meanwhile, report this to the police as well. I'll get ahead with my work. Qingqing, help me organize the information."

Gu Chen looked at Xue Qingqing.

Xue Qingqing nodded, looking at the driver of the WENJIE M9 and said, "Add my contact information, then send me all the documentation and evidence. I'll organize it and give it to Lawyer Gu."

The driver nodded repeatedly.

....

So, a few days later passed.

The materials in Gu Chen's hands were almost ready, and the evidence had been mostly gathered.

The second trial was about to start soon!

The case had garnered significant attention online!

This time, the plaintiffs were Yan Guizhen and the son of the elderly, Zhang Zhiqiang.

Neither had hired a lawyer; they were represented by government-provided free legal aid.

The defendant was Xie Siyu.

The defense lawyer was Gu Chen.

[Plaintiff's free lawyer VS defendant's Lawless Madman, this battle is steady!]

[Good people are so pitiful; who would dare to help the elderly in the future? I dare not.]

[Anyway, I won't help an elderly person; I'm afraid of getting sentenced to ten years or fined with a hundred thirty thousand.]

There was one day left until the second trial.

Gu Chen and Xue Qingqing arrived at the court of the first trial.

He wanted to review the files again and look for details to avoid missing anything.

Upon arriving at the court, he saw the judge of the first trial coming out.

The judge had finished his workday.

The judge of the first trial was named Li Yuan.

When Li Yuan saw Gu Chen, his eyelid twitched.

Because Gu Chen had been here before.

Was he back again?

What else did Gu Chen want to see?

Everyone knew by now that Gu Chen had taken on Xie Siyu's case.

All because Xie Siyu helped an elderly person... Gu Chen took the case for the second trial.

When Gu Chen took this case, it startled Li Yuan.

Who wouldn't know of Gu Chen...

Gu Chen was too skilled, too frightening.

Once sent a judge to prison, twice sent the opposing lawyer inside.

In this case, Li Yuan once said something, which he now slightly regrets.

[You didn't hit them; why did you help them then?]

Why had Gu Chen appeared?

Li Yuan couldn't pretend not to see him.

If he pretended not to see Gu Chen, Gu Chen might seize the chance to send him in too.

Li Yuan forced a smile and said, "Hello Lawyer Gu, I'm Li Yuan. Are you here at the court again? Is there anything I can help with?"

Gu Chen also saw Li Yuan, saying, "Hello, hello, I'm here to review Xie Siyu's case file. I think there's a bit of a problem with this case."

Li Yuan felt a chill down his spine, saying, "What's the problem? Where's the problem?"

Gu Chen smiled, "I'm not too sure either, so I'm here to review the files again. Tomorrow's the second trial. Will you be there as an observer?"

Li Yuan: "??"

Does he still want him to attend the second trial as an observer?

What does Gu Chen mean by this?

Could he have ruled incorrectly?

Or was he keen on sending him to prison?

Gu Chen said, "You presided over the first trial; attending the second trial would be good for observation, to see if there's anything you missed in the case. Even if you ruled incorrectly in the first trial, it's no big deal, just a matter of writing a self-review."

"Your presence tomorrow is quite necessary."

"No need to accompany me in file reviewing; I'll handle that myself."

Gu Chen smiled, then headed into the court with Xue Qingqing.

Leaving Li Yuan bewildered in the wind.

Could he have truly misjudged in the first trial?

But there was no way.

There were no pieces of evidence at the time of the incident!

No surveillance footage, no cameras, and the dashcam was broken!

Moreover, there was only one car on the road at the time, so no other dashcam data was available....

And the elderly person had a broken leg, with multiple injuries....

And given that Xie Siyu proactively helped the elderly...

If the person wasn't hit by Xie Siyu, why did he help?

Thus, considering all angles, the ruling concluded there was an issue with Xie Siyu.

Did he judge incorrectly?

Impossible!

Even if a judge for the second trial were brought in...

This case still had no evidence!

No one could reconstruct the scene back then.

How could he say he ruled incorrectly?

Plus, Gu Chen even wants him at tomorrow's scene....

Li Yuan slightly regretted not adjudicating more carefully at the time.

Deciding, in that manner, had he indeed judged wrong?

Li Yuan couldn't comprehend it....

Xie Siyu didn't offer any upfront payment, ultimately leading to the elderly's death.

There existed a direct link between Xie Siyu's actions and the elderly's death.

Since Xie Siyu wasn't willing to pay a single penny initially, rendering a ten-year sentence seemed apt.

Li Yuan personally felt there wasn't any problem; it's just seeing Gu Chen always made him nervous.

Li Yuan had served at the court for many years, never making substantial errors.

Yet now, with Gu Chen's advent, a faint fear lingered.

Gu Chen indeed had sent a judge to jail.....

"Sigh, I guess I have to attend tomorrow."

"I'll go review the case, see if there's anything else astray. If the case flips, I'll issue an apology to the media. Hopefully, Lawyer Gu doesn't end up sending me in too... though it won't come to that, a single wrong verdict won't land me there, but the fear remains." Li Yuan shook his head, sighing.
