Presiding Judge Lin Zhong was not at the court.

When Gu Chen arrived at the Supreme People's Court, he met with the staff.

The staff member's name was Tang Wanyu.

As soon as Tang Wanyu saw Gu Chen, she warmly welcomed him in.

This was the Lawless Madman—Gu Chen!

If Gu Chen got upset... who knows who would end up being sent in by him.

Of course, that's an exaggeration. In reality, Tang Wanyu was quite excited to meet such a prominent figure in the legal world like Gu Chen.

Tang Wanyu said, "Lawyer Gu, Wang Zhihao's case is scheduled to reconvene tomorrow. Is there anything I can assist you with as you make your way to the courthouse today?"

Gu Chen submitted a document and said, "Hello, I am applying for a criminal litigation."

Tang Wanyu: "?????"

Wait, who is Lawyer Gu sending in this time?

Criminal case?

Did she hear that right?

This is the Supreme People's Court of the entire country...

Except for reexaminations, or the final appeal, cases are not generally tried here...

Furthermore, criminal cases are typically prosecuted by public prosecutors, or the prosecution challenges, and then the defendant retains a lawyer for defense.

Lawyer Gu wants to submit a criminal litigation?!

This....

Gu Chen said, "Isn't the divorce case between Wang Zhihao and Zhou Wenjing a civil lawsuit? I am now applying to switch it to a criminal litigation,"

Tang Wanyu: "?????"

Tang Wanyu took the materials from Gu Chen's hands with trembling hands.

Did she hear that correctly?

Is it really going to be converted into a criminal case?

Is he seriously planning to send Zhou Wenjing in?

Tang Wanyu said, "Lawyer Gu, I will immediately submit the application, and you will receive a reply within three working days. The court session will also be postponed for three working days. If there is any news, I will contact you first thing."

"Please leave a contact number, Lawyer Gu."

Gu Chen left his phone number and also added Tang Wanyu on WeChat.

The court session was originally about to commence!

But Gu Chen just came in wanting to convert a civil lawsuit into a criminal one!

If he wants to make the change, he needs to submit the relevant evidence, and the court must approve it through review.

The whole internet was looking forward to the opening of this case.

[Should the trial be starting today?]

[The trial is about to start again! This case has been adjourned twice already; there shouldn't be any more problems this time.]

[Can Lawyer Gu win this case?]

[I'm feeling a bit skeptical; otherwise, why would Lawyer Gu request a postponement?]

[I guess this case's defense is challenging, and the evidence is insufficient. Lawyer Gu needs to gather more evidence, especially since Wang Zhihao seems to have actually committed domestic violence against Zhou Wenjing... In this situation, the court still doesn't know how to decide the divorce and property division...]

[Won't Wang Zhihao eventually have to pay child support for the three kids?]

[If that's the case, then I'll go off on Lawyer Gu. The Lawless Madman can't even handle such a case? Will this fool actually get away with it?]

While the netizens were waiting for the trial to start.

The court issued a notice.

The court announced a postponement!

The specific date for the new trial will be notified by the court later.

For a moment, the entire internet exploded, even making the trending list on Weibo.

[What's going on? This case has been postponed again?]

[Come on, it's just a divorce case; how could it be adjourned twice and postponed once?]

[I guess Lawyer Gu requested the postponement... maybe because the evidence is not fully collected yet.]

[Lawyer Gu probably has no confidence in this case, so he requested a postponement.]

[Is Lawyer Gu unsure? Is he going to lose?]

[I reckon this case is really going to be lost. Wang Zhihao abuses Zhou Wenjing daily; how can this case possibly be won?]

[Lawyer Gu probably didn't expect Wang Zhihao to actually commit domestic violence, did he?]

With the court's delay, even some netizens who initially supported Gu Chen started to feel uneasy.

They felt that this case would be lost, even if the Lawless Madman took it on.

Wang Zhihao's domestic violence is indeed something everyone despises.

Zhou Wenjing's infidelity is wrong, but Wang Zhihao is equally in the wrong for abusing her.

When they saw the court's announcement, some Little Fairies even jumped for joy.

[Sisters, did you see that, Zhou Wenjing is going to win this case!]

[The trial was postponed haha, it's got to be a female lawyer, Lawyer Gu is useless, just boasts as the Lawless Madman, but really has no use.]

[Wang Zhihao didn't honestly believe Gu Chen is such an amazing lawyer, did he? With all these postponements, it seems like Wang Zhihao is done for.]

[This is what you get for being an abusive husband! Leave the house with nothing!]

[Support the abusive husband leaving the house with nothing!]

Some Little Fairies began supporting Zhou Wenjing and went online to bash Wang Zhihao.

Some also started bashing Gu Chen.

Tang Tian joyfully posted a video on Douyin.

[Hey everyone, hear about this big scoop!]

[The big scoop is this: did you know, Wang Zhihao's case is postponed again!]

[Gu Chen first applied for a recess in court, and now he's applying for a delay! That means he's really not up to the task!]

[If he had any competence, would he need to apply for a delay for this case? Couldn't he just go to trial and settle it?]

[If you ask me, Gu Chen is just buying time. If he's not confident in handling the case, why take it on?]

[Gu Chen's competence is really lacking. In the past, he only won cases by relying on hype and public opinion. Now that public opinion isn't on his side, he's out of options, right?]

[He thinks just because Zhou Wenjing cheated, the public opinion will back him? Haha, this clearly shows that Gu Chen relies on public opinion to win cases. No wonder he started as an intern lawyer, yet there are still some uninformed netizens calling Gu Chen a Lawless Madman. If you ask me, he isn't even familiar with the basics of his profession.]

Tang Tian spent quite a while posting TikTok videos online.

Soon, the likes on the video surpassed one hundred thousand.

Underneath the video, many comments were from Little Fairy.

There were also many netizens speaking up for Gu Chen, arguing with these people.

...

Knowing that Gu Chen applied for a delay, Zhou Wenjing was even more dismissive of him.

How could she possibly lose this case?

Zhou Wenjing felt her actions were flawless.

Her makeup, the videos she shot...

No one could possibly tell they were fake!

Even if a technical team examined them, there would be no way to prove otherwise.

It's just that the videos and photos... Zhou Wenjing's makeup made everyone believe she was a victim of domestic violence.

Besides, Zhou Wenjing prepared many photos of her with makeup showing injuries at different times....

She wasn't afraid of a technical team inspecting them.

Unless these technical teams could go back seven or eight years...

But is that possible?

Absolutely impossible!

Zhou Wenjing watched as the popularity of her live stream soared.

And tonight, there's an event!

This event includes livestream sales... plus official endorsement for the event!

Zhou Wenjing didn't even plan to bother with Gu Chen anymore.

She just livestreams to sell goods and make money!

Anyway, no matter what, she wouldn't lose.

Through livestream selling, Zhou Wenjing had already made a lot of money.

In just one night, Zhou Wenjing made four hundred thousand!

Just like that, over three consecutive days, Zhou Wenjing made 1.2 million from livestream selling!

"I've earned like crazy, earned like crazy..."

"In these ten days, I've made 1.25 million from livestream selling! This feels great!!"

"Now I can buy bags, go traveling, and even find male models!"

"Hehe...."

Zhou Wenjing, while scrolling through handsome guys on TikTok, talked to herself.

But she couldn't travel or consume yet.

Because she had a court case to deal with...

"Wang Zhihao, you're really despicable. If it weren't for you, I'd already be traveling, buying bags, and designer brands. You really want to fight this lawsuit with me?"

"The lawyer you hired isn't competent either, probably a fake from somewhere. Once in court, I want you to pay for the support of the four children! I also want you to leave with nothing, with the car scrapped, and the money goes to me!"

"You need to pay for my medical expenses from that slap too! I won't pay even a penny of these medical bills! This is outrageous! How dare you hit me!"

Zhou Wenjing put all the money she saved in her bank card.

She just waits to finish the court case, and then she can go enjoy life.

To ensure everything is foolproof...

Zhou Wenjing specifically contacted her lawyer, Han Jingjing.

Zhou Wenjing said, "Lawyer Han, I heard the court date seems to be delayed. What's going on?"

Han Jingjing said, "It means the opposing lawyer isn't confident, probably still gathering evidence. We've got this case secure."

Zhou Wenjing was a bit excited, her eyes glowing, "Really? Lawyer Han, I heard you also plan to make Wang Zhihao bleed."

Han Jingjing nodded, "Sure, no problem, I want a big victory in court too! Gu Chen is a lawyer with a 100% win rate. If I get a big win in this case, my fame will rise too, so don't worry, I'll definitely give it my all in this trial. No matter how capable Gu Chen is, he's only good at criminal cases, not civil suits, and not proficient in divorce-related civil cases. In this area, I'm leading in the country!"

Han Jingjing was quite confident.

Zhou Wenjing said, "Lawyer Han, if you can help me win, I'll add fifty thousand to your lawyer fee! Really, I've already transferred five thousand to you first."

Han Jingjing nodded, "Okay, don't worry, I don't know how we could lose this case."

"Lawless Madman? After this case, he won't be called a Lawless Madman anymore."

"If he dares to slander you, claiming your evidence is fake and fails to provide his own evidence, maybe I could even get him jailed! Make him take criminal responsibility!"

These days, traffic is king.

Han Jingjing encountered Gu Chen in her most proficient field...

Just as Gu Chen's hype was at a peak.

No matter what, she had to win this case outright!

....

....

Gu Chen had already prepared all the evidence for this case.

He was just waiting for the court to approve it!

At ten in the morning.

The court staff, Tang Wanyu, called Gu Chen.

"Lawyer Gu, the court has approved it!"

"Wang Zhihao's case has turned into a criminal case! Besides the criminal case, there are also the property division issues of both parties, and the court has already contacted the police, who have listed Zhou Wenjing as a criminal suspect and have already locked on to her!"

"The court's message came through, the trial is set for tomorrow!"
