Gu Chen continued, "The man discovered that his wife was brought home by a colleague, and the two of them even ended up in bed together."
Viewers in the live stream: "????"
This is so explosive?
Gu Chen said, "After the incident, the man immediately called the police, claiming that the colleague had raped his wife because his wife was mentally ill and incapable of independent thought. The police promptly filed a case."
"However, after the police filed the case, the colleague claimed innocence, saying that it was the man's wife who seduced him, and he just couldn't resist."
"The police were dumbfounded upon hearing this."
"So the police began their investigation."
"The investigation revealed that the woman's mental illness was 'adolescent-type,' which simply put, meant she would go crazy over any man, leading the male colleague to believe she was seducing him."
"In the end, while the colleague objectively engaged in non-consensual sex, he didn't have the subjective intent to commit rape, so he was only charged with 'negligent rape,' but such a crime doesn't exist in criminal law, so the man was released without charge."
The viewers in the live stream were all amazed.
Cases like this exist?
[Wow, incredible.]
[I've really learned something today, cases like this exist!]
[Lawyer Gu's explanation of this case is just too captivating.]
[Hahaha, it seems like there aren't any big news stories recently, so it's unlikely we'll see Lawyer Gu taking on any high-profile cases soon, after all, not every case will be live-streamed across the internet.]
In this world, high-profile cases are often live-streamed for full public scrutiny.
Every case Gu Chen handles tends to gain immense online attention.
But currently, there's indeed no explosive news online, unlike the Wangzhu and Liu Jun case that instantly trended on social media.
Netizens also feel that they won't be seeing Gu Chen in court any time soon.
[Who knows when we'll see the Lawless Madman back in court.]
[The Lawless Madman has now become famous because Lawyer Gu managed to put the plaintiff in jail, brought down two opposing lawyers, a presiding judge, and even some people in the audience... That's just ruthless.]
[I think I can slack off for a few days, there's no case to keep an eye on for now.]
[Lawyer Gu can take a good holiday this time, and livestream more often, haha.]
Gu Chen indeed felt quite relaxed.
After streaming some case stories, he went on to stream gaming.
Gu Chen directly streamed himself playing League of Legends, skillfully playing Yasuo, although his stats showed 0-8.
Gu Chen said, "Recently, I really have no cases; any that come up can be handled by our firm's lawyers. As the boss, I can take a few days off, mainly because I've consecutively handled seven or eight cases recently, and each one was exhausting."
"I just wanted to handle a case properly, but each time I investigated, I found issues with the opposing lawyer, or I'd find problems with a presiding judge, and upon further digging, there were issues everywhere, so I had no choice but to bring them all down."
"Since they broke the law, I couldn't ignore it, could I? So each case was particularly busy and tiring, and I couldn't take a break." Gu Chen sighed, truly worn out from this period.
Though tired, he earned quite a bit of money.
The litigation fees from cases aren't that much.
But the publicity from the trials brought considerable attention, and his company is rapidly expanding.
The company's scale continues to grow, and they're hiring more lawyers.
Gu Chen occasionally checks in on the company's employees.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "This time I'll take a good rest, stream a bit every day, play some games, and in a few months, I'll head to Capital City, and I'm also going to teach at Peking University, then I'll be very busy and won't have time to livestream."
The viewers in the live stream were shocked.
What?
[Wow, the Lawless Madman is going to teach at Peking University?]
[Even though they call him the Lawless Madman, Gu Chen is no longer a rookie lawyer; his win rate is 100%, and few can match his professional level in the legal field!]
[The Lawless Madman is now a big shot, a industry giant!]
[Wow, a Peking University professor... The Lawless Madman even has a position there! This is really prestigious to talk about!]
[I don't believe the Lawless Madman can really rest; a case might just land on his desk soon.]
[I don't believe the Lawless Madman can rest; rest what? Get up and continue working, continue taking cases!]
Gu Chen said, "Let's end the stream here for today. Before I go, I'll connect with a random viewer and have them sing a song for everyone. I can rest for a while without having to take cases."
Xue Qingqing also thought they could take a break for a while.
At least, she wouldn't have to fly around to handle cases and gather evidence every day.
Gu Chen randomly connected with a viewer named [Niu Xiajuan] in the livestream.
Gu Chen said, "Hello, can you hear me? Can you sing?"
After connecting with Gu Chen, Niu Xiajuan quickly said, "Lawyer Gu, I have something to discuss. I have a case; it's a matter of life and death. Lawyer Gu, can you help me, please?"
The atmosphere in the livestream immediately became heavy.
Another case?
And a life-and-death one!
Normally court cases are divided into civil and criminal litigation.
Life-and-death matters are usually criminal litigation.
This means something big is involved!
This isn't a small case!
Any case involving a life is a serious matter!
Gu Chen had intended to take a break, but seeing someone in need of help...
Gu Chen quickly asked, "What case is it? Tell me slowly."
Xue Qingqing also quickly sat closer, looking serious.
There's a case!
Niu Xiajuan said, "My son was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. He's in jail now, but he didn't commit a crime!! He is innocent, but the court has already sentenced him; the first trial sentenced him to fifteen years. Lawyer Gu, please save my son, only you can save him. Why was my son sentenced? Why fifteen years... Why, why?"
Gu Chen said, "Why was your son sentenced to fifteen years? Please tell me the whole story."
Crying, Niu Xiajuan said, "Lawyer Gu, it's like this, my husband recently suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, was hospitalized, and entered the ICU. The hospital gave us a critical illness notice."
"Then he needed surgery, and the surgery required money, 300,000 yuan for the surgery!"
"Fortunately, my husband did have some money, but all of it was in the bank."
"Then my son went to withdraw the money. The bank said that only the account holder could withdraw the money."
"My son said the account holder couldn't come, he's sick and in the ICU. The bank said that didn't matter; they required the account holder to withdraw the money in person."
"Then..."
