Gu Chen looked at Yin Xiaodong.
Want to hold him accountable?
That's a pretty simple thought.
Judge Shen Jiarui looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Does the plaintiff's lawyer have any evidence for the lawsuit application?"
Gu Chen stood up, "There is evidence!"
"My first plea states that Zhang Tao's scholarship slot was replaced by an heir to a rich family. After saying so much, all we have proven is that Zhang Tao is a student in poverty. The school's apology is insincere, and is that the end of it?"
"Zhao Wenxuan is a rich second generation, driving a Ferrari and a Porsche in school. What's important is that the rich second generation took away Zhang Tao's scholarship slot."
Yin Xiaodong also stood up and presented the materials in his hand, "Judge, I have materials here. According to the materials submitted by Zhao Wenxuan, he has a poverty certificate, which is enough to prove that Zhao Wenxuan is a student in poverty. If he were a rich second generation, how could the school possibly award him a first-class scholarship?"
Gu Chen said, "Zhang Tao also has a poverty certificate and certificates of his parents' death. How can that not directly prove Zhang Tao is a student in poverty? There was a long investigation on Zhang Tao, and in the end, he was screened out. Did you investigate Zhao Wenxuan?"
Yin Xiaodong shook his head, "There are so many students in poverty in school, how is it possible to carefully investigate every student's family background? Everything was done according to the process. Zhang Tao was originally going to be selected as a student in poverty, but another student reported that Zhang Tao used only Apple products, so the school verified it and made the decision."
Yin Xiaodong continued, "The plaintiff's lawyer said that Zhao Wenxuan was driving a Porsche and a Ferrari. The school has already investigated these cars, and these two cars do not belong to Zhao Wenxuan."
Gu Chen took out a document and said, "Yes, these two cars aren't Zhao Wenxuan's; they were rented by him. Zhao Wenxuan rented a Ferrari and a Porsche from a car rental company, and the combined rent for the two cars for just one day amounted to ten thousand! Just one day, and the rent was ten thousand."
Gu Chen directly submitted the evidence.
All of Zhao Wenxuan's car rental records were investigated by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen said, "I have also looked into Zhao Wenxuan's other related materials."
"Here are the bank statements of Zhao Wenxuan. His monthly bank transactions exceed 200,000, with an account transferring 150,000 into his bank card every month."
"And the account holder behind this account is Zhao Wenxuan's father."
"In other words, Zhao Wenxuan has a monthly allowance of 150,000."
"For a university student, having a monthly allowance of 150,000—many families don't even earn that in a year. What does this mean?"
"Is Zhao Wenxuan a student in poverty? Can a student with a monthly allowance of 150,000 be called a student in poverty?"
As for why Zhao Wenxuan would rent cars, it's quite understandable.
After all, a Porsche and a Ferrari would start at a couple of million.
Even with a monthly allowance of 150,000, if Zhao Wenxuan is lavish in his spending, he wouldn't have the money to buy such sports cars.
The fact is, Zhao Wenxuan's family has cars, but where's the flair in not driving a sports car at school?
One car a day, today a Porsche, tomorrow a Rolls-Royce, the day after tomorrow a Ferrari...
Driving such cars and finding a partner at school should be quite simple, right?
Gu Chen said, "Yangcheng University awarded the first-class scholarship slot to Zhao Wenxuan."
"But in reality, is Zhao Wenxuan a student in poverty?"
"Such a wealthy person, yet taking a poverty-based scholarship from the school...."
"Is this fair?"
"Those who truly need poverty scholarships can't get this money..."
"Yet the rich second generations are comfortably taking first-class scholarships!"
"Even if the selection for students in poverty was done by class monitors and students under the Communist Youth League,"
"Didn't the school verify?"
"If it were an ordinary student, that might be understandable."
"But for someone like Zhao Wenxuan, a rich second generation driving Ferraris and Porsches, surely the whole school knows?"
"Don't the Communist Youth League instructors know? Don't the school leaders know?"
"In the end, the school still gave the poverty scholarship to Zhao Wenxuan.... Did you conduct an investigation?"
"Zhang Tao only bought a single computer and a tablet for studying...."
"Even when Zhang Tao bought a two-thousand-plus electric bike, the school deemed Zhang Tao not a student in poverty because students in poverty can't afford electric bikes."
"But when Zhao Wenxuan drove a Porsche and a Ferrari, the school didn't notice, and yet their investigation into Zhang Tao was so thorough."
"In the whole of Yangcheng University, how many students can afford to drive Ferraris and Porsches? Isn't it ironic that Zhao Wenxuan drove luxury cars, yet holds a poverty scholarship?"
"Therefore, Yangcheng University must take responsibility!"
"And in Yangcheng University, Zhang Tao isn't the only student whose scholarship was taken!"
"Many students in poverty didn't get any scholarship slots."
"And Yangcheng University still hasn't published the scholarship list... Who took the scholarships that should belong to students in poverty?"
"This is why Zhang Tao must fight this lawsuit!"
"Everyone says Zhang Tao is just a college student, that offending the school is irrational. What if he is advised to drop out or is expelled by the school?"
"But if everyone retreats..."
"Where is the fairness then?"
"If Zhang Tao doesn't fight this lawsuit, more and more poverty scholarships will be replaced and taken by others!"
Gu Chen finished speaking.
Applause erupted at the scene.
The audience in the gallery clapped.
The livestream room went viral too.
[66666666666!]
[Lawyer Gu is awesome!]
[I really support Lawyer Gu for this case!]
[This is the true meaning of fighting this lawsuit!]
[Exactly, if Zhang Tao doesn't speak out, how many more students in poverty won't get scholarships?]
[Scholarships must be fair and transparent. Has the school been fair and transparent? Clearly not.]
The prosecutor also looked at Gu Chen, somewhat admiringly.
Gu Chen indeed deserves the title of Lawless Madman.
It doesn't mean Gu Chen is truly a lawless madman.
It means that Gu Chen's knowledge of the law is incredibly profound!
Every case he fought, he fought beautifully!
This case, too, is fought for numerous students in poverty!
Judge Shen Jiarui, along with the two other judges, all looked at Gu Chen...
There was admiration in the eyes of all three.
Especially Judge Shen Jiarui, as it wasn't his first time seeing Gu Chen.
But every case that Gu Chen fought was simply stunning!
Shen Jiarui banged the gavel.
"Order in the court!"
At this time, the defendant's lawyer, Yin Xiaodong, stood up.
"Judge, I object!"
