Gu Chen began, "Judge, Zhou Wenjing has slandered, smeared, and spread rumors about my client in court, fabricating stories of Wang Zhihao's domestic violence, infidelity, and transmitting diseases to her. This constitutes defamation, giving false testimony, and has caused psychological harm and distress to Wang Zhihao. She should compensate 200,000 yuan for mental damages."

"Moreover, Zhou Wenjing had three children give false testimony, had a full body check-up in the hospital sometime ago, and then demanded 23,000 yuan from Wang Zhihao for medical expenses. This amounts to extortion. According to Article 274 of the Criminal Law, extorting public or private property in large amounts or repeatedly can lead to a sentence of up to three years in prison, criminal detention, or surveillance, and may also include a fine."

"Zhou Wenjing has already committed the crimes of giving false testimony, defamation, and extortion, and should face punishment for multiple offenses!"

Zhou Wenjing: "???"

What, is she going to be sentenced already?

And it's for multiple offenses...

How long could the sentence be?

Did she merely say a few words in court and now she's getting sentenced?

This is outrageous!

And wasn't it only fair that Wang Zhihao, who hit her, should pay her medical expenses?

What does Gu Chen mean by this now?

Not only does he want Wang Zhihao not to pay her, but also wants her to go to jail?

How is this even possible?

The audience in the livestream all began commenting.

[This is satisfying, truly satisfying now.]

[Good, good, good, it has to be Lawless Madman Lawyer Gu, just send Zhou Wenjing to jail.]

[This is the Lawless Madman, just send Zhou Wenjing in!]

[Zhou Wenjing constantly making false testimonies, wanting Wang Zhihao in jail, and also trying to extort money from him, right?]

[I've never seen someone so disgusting, committing adultery, having children with others, and expecting someone else to leave with nothing, what logic is that?]

The netizens have had enough of Zhou Wenjing.

And this case has been going on for so long, Zhou Wenjing should have been sent to jail, shouldn't she?

Why won't Zhou Wenjing just disappear?

Though committing adultery and having children with others doesn't actually break the law.

If Zhou Wenjing wasn't seeking trouble, she wouldn't even have to go to jail.

The netizens sighed in the livestream...

Even so, Zhou Wenjing probably won't be sentenced for too many years.

Although Gu Chen spoke quite seriously...

In reality, Zhou Wenjing's extortion charges amount to no more than attempted extortion, and it's not as severe in nature as kidnappers extorting money.

So, Zhou Wenjing... is unlikely to go to jail.

Fangda Law Firm.

Gao Yong was analyzing this case.

He is a top lawyer, but he hasn't been too busy recently.

Once he finishes handling his cases, Gao Yong would watch Gu Chen's livestreams.

If he starts a livestream, he can earn a bit of money too.

[Lawyer Gao, what do you think of this case?]

[Can Zhou Wenjing be sent to jail?]

[I'm a woman, but I really can't stand this. How can such a person exist?]

Gao Yong has quite a number of fans; he is a top lawyer at the Red Circle Law Firm and is well recognized in the industry.

Gao Yong said, "How can I put it, Gu Chen has already played this case beautifully. Zhou Wenjing will likely be sentenced, but the nature of the case isn't very serious, so it'll probably result in a suspended sentence."

"Gu Chen has shifted from civil litigation to criminal litigation, but the essence of this case is still a divorce case, so it's hard to say if Zhou Wenjing will serve jail time. However, leaving a criminal record for Zhou Wenjing is not an issue."

The livestream audience felt a bit disappointed after hearing this.

[Ah, a suspended sentence... That's really not helpful, it just means Zhou Wenjing's four kids won't be able to apply for government jobs in the future.]

[A suspended sentence... That's really not useful.]

[Is that it? The costs of adultery and slander are really so low now.]

....

By this point in the trial.

Han Jingjing knew this case was likely lost.

Judge Lin Zhong announced a fifteen-minute recess, letting everyone take a break.

After the recess.

Han Jingjing looked at Zhou Wenjing and said, "There's nothing we can do. Gu Chen is really good at this, we might lose this case."

Zhou Wenjing: "Huh?"

Zhou Wenjing: "Didn't you assure me before that we'd win this case?"

Han Jingjing said, "You also need to consider who you are facing. You need to understand what kind of lawyer you are up against. It's Gu Chen... Lawyer Gu, the Lawless Madman in the industry, the top lawyer! To date, he has never lost a case!"

In fact, near the end of the trial, Han Jingjing barely found opportunities to speak.

She realized Gu Chen had prepared too much evidence for this case!

If she had taken out this kind of evidence herself, if she had done anything illegal....

Han Jingjing believed she would also be sent in.

Gu Chen is beyond tough in trials.

The pressure of facing Gu Chen in a trial is enormous!

Though Gu Chen handles criminal cases and isn't well-versed in civil litigation....

But civil cases are not as complex as criminal cases!

If Gu Chen can manage criminal cases, he can handle civil cases....

Han Jingjing said, "It's no longer just about dividing assets; now it's about you possibly going to jail. If Gu Chen doesn't let this go, and if you don't get the plaintiff's forgiveness, I estimate you might go to jail."

Zhou Wenjing: "??"

Zhou Wenjing: "Is it really this serious now?"

When Zhou Wenjing heard the words "go to jail," it finally hit her.

Has the case escalated to this level?

In court, Zhou Wenjing was not particularly attentive; she was thinking about how after the case ended, she could go on a vacation.

Even if she didn't get a single penny of the property... she had over two million yuan in her account!

With that amount of money, she could travel and enjoy herself!!

Over two million, enough for her to spend for a long time!

And now Han Lawyer tells her she might go to jail?

If she actually goes in, wouldn't that mean everything is over?

Previously, she thought it just meant she couldn't do livestream selling anymore...

But then she thought, she could start her own livestream!

As long as she's not afraid of criticism, she could make money through streaming!

Then wouldn't she still be able to earn how she wants?

But now... going to jail?

Zhou Wenjing grasped Han Jingjing's hand and said, "Lawyer Han, what should I do now?"

Han Jingjing said, "I can only try to keep you from going to jail, because the nature of your case isn't very serious; you need to know, if you go to jail, your four children won't pass political scrutiny in the future, meaning they can't apply for government jobs, do you understand how serious that is?"

Zhou Wenjing thought for a moment, then said, "I don't really care about that, I only care about myself, Lawyer Han, tell me, what do I need to do to avoid going to jail?"
