Gu Chen decided to take a look with the system.

As a top lawyer, he could handle this case without the system.

However, doing so would require Gu Chen to spend a long time understanding the situation.

Especially when the school is blocking information, getting to know the situation becomes very difficult and time-consuming.

It's okay to use the system, it makes things much easier.

Gu Chen can first understand the case and see if it matches what Zhang Tao said.

If it does, then he can take the case.

Gu Chen finished reviewing the case with the system...

Every detail of the case was analyzed clearly by Gu Chen.

A lot of evidence was already gathered, but it was still in a gray area, and Gu Chen needed to go to the school personally to meet Zhang Tao to understand the situation better, at which point most of the evidence could be unlocked.

Thus, Gu Chen understood the situation of the case.

After adding Zhang Tao's contact information, Gu Chen discussed the specific situation with him.

Gu Chen discovered... Zhang Tao only knew about the issue of financial aid being replaced by a rich second generation student.

In fact...

This case is more complicated than Zhang Tao imagined!

Because the rich second generation has connections!

Only with connections could they replace someone else's spot for financial aid.

And these connections were not just with the student council...

This case involves a lot.

Originally it was just a civil lawsuit, but Gu Chen realized that it could be turned into a criminal case!

Even the issue of financial aid being taken by rich students doesn't really count as a civil case.

It's just a problem with school management, and usually no one would sue the school over this.

What student would dare to sue the school?

The school could easily find an excuse to withhold financial aid, saying the materials are not compliant, the conditions aren't met, or the procedures are incomplete.

It's too easy for the school to block a student's financial aid.

Especially for students with connections like the rich second generation, taking over financial aid is not a big deal.

Gu Chen asked Xue Qingqing to take over the live stream for a while.

Gu Chen then contacted Zhang Tao.

Gu Chen said: "Zhang Tao, file the lawsuit. I will help you with this case. Although there's not much money involved, the nature is very serious. If a rich student gets the financial aid, that means one more poor student won't get it."

Zhang Tao said: "Lawyer Gu... but I don't have money..."

Gu Chen replied: "It's fine. This case is free, I won't charge you, but the contract will state litigation costs of 200,000. Eventually, the losing side, the school, will cover it. You won't need to pay a cent, I assure you."

Zhang Tao was a bit moved and said: "Thank you, Lawyer Gu. Actually, I'm not just doing it for myself; I just find this phenomenon unfair. Some of my friends have encountered similar situations, often submitting materials but never getting financial aid, and the aid ends up with the wealthy... I can't accept it. I want to pursue fairness."

Gu Chen said: "Yes, I understand. I will take this case. Tomorrow I will come to see you to understand the specifics."

.....

Gu Chen knew he had to take this case.

Even if he didn't earn a penny, he had to take it.

First, because the case is gaining a lot of attention and handling it will increase the firm's visibility.

Second, because fighting this case is necessary.

Zhang Tao represents countless poor students.

How many poor students' financial aid spots have been replaced?

As a lawyer, his commitment to this profession is simple.

He wants to seek justice for the poor students!

Justice lies in people's hearts!

Some people exploit legal loopholes to turn state-provided financial aid for poor students into a means for personal gain, which Gu Chen cannot tolerate.

Xue Qingqing is live streaming.

The online viewers are discussing Zhang Tao's case.

Some viewers feel the school is disgusting and Zhang Tao is too unfortunate.

However, a group of viewers emerged claiming Zhang Tao himself is wealthy and not really poor.

"Don't believe this lawsuit. Who said Zhang Tao is poor? I'm from the same school and know Zhang Tao. He uses a computer worth over 7,000, and an iPad, an Apple iPad! Do you know how much all of this costs? Over 10,000! And he uses an iPhone! I saw Zhang Tao using an Apple phone, an Apple computer, and an Apple tablet. And you say he's poor?"

"I don't know if the rich student took the financial aid spot, but I know Zhang Tao isn't clean. He uses a set of Apple products; is that a regular family? Can regular people afford all this?"

"If Zhang Tao were truly poor, how could he afford an Apple product set – computer, phone, iPad? I couldn't come up with that much money."

"????"

"Why are there so many people trying to clean this up? Snatching an orphan's financial aid and still being reasonable?"

"Indeed, the cleansers are here. If your financial aid was taken by the rich, would you stay silent?"

"What's going on? What's the real situation? If Zhang Tao uses such expensive items, it's normal not to qualify for financial aid."

"The person above pretending to be a neutral party, what are you on about? What's it to do with the rich snatching poor students' spots?"

"What's wrong if Zhang Tao uses an Apple phone? Who says poor students can't use Apple products? Not sure what you're yelling about."

"Is it really the rich snatching it? The school isn't blind; would they give financial aid to a student driving a Ferrari?"

"I feel it's all just to gain attention, just fishing for traffic. Even Gu Chen might turn to selling products on live streams later, disgusting."

"You up there have quite the courage, not afraid of getting sued by the Lawless Madman."

The netizens are all discussing this issue.

Gu Chen's livestream already had many viewers, and when this case emerged, public opinion exploded.

Many netizens looked up the case, and more are discussing it.

Many also researched the specifics of the case...

To see if Zhang Tao is orchestrating events or if the financial aid was really snatched by a rich student.

A lot of college students support Zhang Tao.

After all, Zhang Tao is a poor student, parentless—most students don't come from well-to-do families either.

Although there are people cleansing Zhang Tao's reputation, most netizens believe in him.

If Zhang Tao were wealthy himself, why would he dare cause a scene at school?

Over a few thousand yuan in financial aid, Zhang Tao dares to create a stir with the school without fear of expulsion?

The only reason Zhang Tao would dare to do so is...

His financial aid spot was indeed snatched by a rich student!
