Gu Chen decided to take on both cases!

No one was willing to help the middle-aged man with this case.

After all, no lawyer is willing to take on a case without any conditions and without earning a penny.

But Gu Chen was willing to tackle this case.

The money wasn't important, but the lawsuit had to be fought!

He didn't need a single penny!

However, Gu Chen couldn't go completely without pay...

But this money should be paid by the defendants!

Twenty thousand per case, Gu Chen never fights a case for free.

If he loses this case, Gu Chen wouldn't want any money at all.

This case, that woman is just too cruel.

They've been married for over ten years.

The money given by the middle-aged man, she could have saved at least five hundred thousand.

Instead, she took the money to buy a house for her brother because he was getting married.

Over the years of marriage, she hadn't even given the middle-aged man a child.

All the children were for others...

And these past few years, she hadn't agreed to any of the middle-aged man's requests even once.

The middle-aged man hadn't experienced any joy in life for years.

He thought his wife just wasn't interested...

Who would have thought it would be like this?

Moreover, this case had already made the news.

The middle-aged man lost, and the ruling was so harsh...

Netizens were helpless, but there was nothing they could do.

Because the second trial had already ended.

Unless there's new evidence, otherwise, it can't be submitted for a final trial.

But this wasn't hard for Gu Chen.

The middle-aged man didn't understand the law, but Gu Chen did.

However, submitting for a final trial requires a lengthy process...

For this case, it would take at least half a month before they could go to court.

So Gu Chen could first work on the case of the impoverished student, and then handle the middle-aged man's case.

...

Gu Chen said, "Qingqing, I've taken on both cases. I'll meet with the clients tomorrow, and the second case I'll also represent for free. No charge, let the defendants cover the legal fees if we win."

Xue Qingqing was a bit surprised upon hearing this.

The boss took on the middle-aged man's case too?

And both cases would be handled for free...

Lawyers can't just guarantee a win from the start.

That's why lawyers charge fees...

Even if the case is won, and the court orders the losing side to cover the costs.

But if the losing party has no money, then the litigation costs can't be recovered.

This shows that the boss genuinely isn't doing it for the money...

It's purely for the sake of the lawsuit, to uphold fairness!

Both cases involve fairness!

The first case is about a rich second-generation kid snatching Zhang Tao's poverty scholarship.

Is that fair?

In the second case, the wife cheats, none of the three children are his, yet the court wants the middle-aged man to pay child support... even demands the man leave the marriage with nothing. Is that something a person would do?

Is that fair?

Neither of these cases had any lawyers willing to take them.

Because there's no money in it.

No money, no profit, no gain, and no lawyer is willing to fight these cases.

These cases are not only difficult but also thankless, with nothing gained from winning and criticism from losing.

Yet Gu Chen stepped in.

This is the boss's approach.

Xue Qingqing felt even more respect for Gu Chen in her heart.

The boss is different from others!

...

....

Netizens still didn't know the middle-aged man had sued his ex-wife again.

And they didn't know Gu Chen had taken on such a high-profile case in the media.

Currently, netizens were mostly discussing the case of the rich kid taking the impoverished student's scholarship.

Many netizens gave a thumbs up to Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao was truly brave!

Suing the school, this would definitely stir things up!

When a student sues a school, what about their future?

[Wow, I'm really looking forward to this case now.]

[Now I genuinely believe Zhang Tao has no issues; he must be a needy student; otherwise, he wouldn't dare to be so bold.]

[Is it true that the rich kid drives Porsches and Ferraris? Is their family that wealthy?]

[The problem is, with such a wealthy family, why go for the needy student's scholarship quota? The scholarship isn't worth much money; does this rich kid really need money that badly? I don't think so.]

[You don't understand those rich kids; the wealthier they are, the stingier they become. Do you really think they're lavish spenders? Besides, who ever thinks they have enough money? A scholarship is still a few thousand bucks.]

[Isn't Zhang Tao worried about not graduating in the future?]

[Even if this case is won, what's the point? Give Zhang Tao more scholarship money? He's still doomed. After the case is over, the school might advise him to leave; Zhang Tao would be finished.]

[After working so hard to get into college, now suing the school? This college is a top-tier one... suing like this, I think it's a pity. He's gambling his life and future.]

Gu Chen didn't pay attention to those online comments.

Gu Chen went to meet Zhang Tao to understand the situation.

Then Gu Chen went ahead and filed the lawsuit!

Following processes, submitting a petition...

Several procedures to follow, collecting evidence as well.

Finally, they sued!

With evidence, they could proceed with the lawsuit.

Gu Chen was very confident about this case.

With the full picture revealed through the system, Gu Chen realized...

This case was just unbelievable.

Since it's like this, they had to fight it!

Civil lawsuit? No way.

Gu Chen switched it directly to a criminal lawsuit!

But the process wasn't complete, and the court procedures take time.

During the review period in court,

Gu Chen started a livestream in a hotel at night.

Shortly after starting the stream, the number of viewers exceeded ten thousand.

Many netizens were discussing Zhang Tao's case.

[Zhang Tao is really bold.]

[He's not afraid of the school expelling him; that's a true daredevil.]

[Zhang Tao is not sensible. The scholarship isn't worth much; getting into college is tough. Offending the school like this, he doesn't want a future?]

[But even if Zhang Tao wins this lawsuit, what can he get? At most, the scholarship, but then what? The school can just say it was a mistake, it's not illegal, there's no problem!]

[Indeed... even if someone intervenes, the school won't be in trouble; they haven't done anything illegal... nor does it threaten the school's administration, because scholarships are usually approved by the student union, most of which students handle. The school can easily push the responsibility on students or some teacher; suing the school won't help, it'll only offend many people.]

Netizens left comments one after another.

It's evident that this case is highly popular right now.

Some comments even sarcastically suggested Zhang Tao was trying to attract attention to sell products through the livestream...

These comments were afraid to insult Gu Chen directly, so they targeted Zhang Tao...
