Yan Guizhen had been waiting for news from Gu Chen.

In her heart, Yan Guizhen was actually a bit worried. She had consulted many lawyers, and many of them said they could only help with a plea for sentence reduction, and even that wasn't guaranteed.

So, Yan Guizhen finally sought Gu Chen's help to fight the case for her son.

But now Gu Chen was also concerned, as he said the same thing as those lawyers after his investigation.

That night.

A call came to Yan Guizhen's phone.

It was a call from Gu Chen!

Yan Guizhen answered the call and said, "Lawyer Gu, is there any update?"

Gu Chen said, "Let's meet tonight and discuss it in person."

Soon, the two of them met, and Yan Guizhen even invited Gu Chen for dinner.

Gu Chen said, "I can take this case. After reviewing it, I see it has a 100% chance of winning. Also, aren't we the defendants? I plan to send the plaintiff Zhao Lele and her mother both to jail."

Yan Guizhen: "????"

For a moment, Yan Guizhen was overwhelmed by the amount of information.

What?

No way, did Gu Chen say this case has a 100% chance of winning?

Other lawyers all said they could only plead for a sentence reduction, but Gu Chen said this case is definitely winnable!

This left Yan Guizhen a bit bewildered.

But if it were just that, Yan Guizhen wouldn't feel it was so exaggerated.

The key was that Gu Chen said something...

He wants to send the plaintiff to jail too!

And he wants to send the plaintiff's mother to jail as well!

Yan Guizhen still couldn't figure out the details; weren't they the defendants?

If her son could avoid jail, it would already be a miracle.

But Gu Chen wanted to send both the plaintiff and her mother to jail, which truly made Yan Guizhen's scalp tingle.

Is this something a normal lawyer would come up with?

Normal lawyers would figure out ways to defend Cai Qian.

But Gu Chen, though a defense lawyer, now wants to send the plaintiff to jail.

Yan Guizhen was a bit bewildered.

Gu Chen asked, "Isn't that alright?"

Yan Guizhen quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Yan Guizhen said, "Lawyer Gu, as long as you can keep my son out of jail, I'll go along with all your plans."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then just cooperate with me when the time comes. Here's the list of attorney's fees. You can pay it first, and then we can sign a contract. When the time comes, the fees might also be covered by the other party."

Yan Guizhen nodded, "Lawyer Gu, no problem."

Seeing Gu Chen take out the contract, Yan Guizhen felt relieved after reviewing it.

But she was still somewhat shocked...

It was her first time hearing a lawyer say a case had a 100% chance of winning!!

All previous lawyers said this case was hopeless, and even pleading for a reduced sentence was difficult.

Now Gu Chen said he could win and even imprison the opposing party.

Could it be true?

Normal lawyers simply don't have Gu Chen's audacity!

After signing the contract, Gu Chen and Yan Guizhen shook hands, and he accepted the commission.

...

The news about this case quickly spread online!

In two days, the trial would commence!

Plaintiff: Zhao Lele, Plaintiff's Lawyer: Zhao Yu.

Defendant: Cai Qian, Defendant's Lawyer: Gu Chen.

This case was about the man giving a three hundred thousand betrothal gift, and the woman reporting Cai Qian for rape.

Netizens quickly began to discuss.

[Did Lawyer Gu really take this case?]

[This case is sure to lose! Why would Lawyer Gu take such a case?]

[I read what lawyers online are saying; the nature of Cai Qian's case is definite rape, and there's no escaping it. Gu Chen would already be amazing if he could reduce the sentence. Winning is impossible.]

[No idea why Gu Chen picked this up. It's unmanageable. It's going to lose, for sure. Even to negotiate a sentence reduction requires Zhao Lele's agreement, and she clearly won't help with a letter of understanding.]

[Gu Chen's esteemed reputation! The 'Lawless Madman' is destined to lose this time!]

While netizens discussed the case,

Some netizens looked up information about the plaintiff's lawyer, Zhao Yu.

[Zhao Yu is a top-class lawyer! He's handled over twenty cases, with an 80% success rate!]

[Zhao Yu is a famous lawyer in Guyuan City with an annual salary rumored to be in the millions!]

[Zhao Yu is quite formidable; I've seen him handle several rape cases, all for the prosecution. He not only won but also got the men to pay hefty sums.]

[Wow, such a top-class lawyer! Can Gu Chen really handle this?]

[Gu Chen has dealt with top-class lawyers before, but this case seems to have a very low chance of winning. The defendant has no grounds... Cai Qian is now definitely a rapist, no escaping it, he will go to prison for sure.]

[Top-class Lawyer vs. Intern Lawyer?]

[Gu Chen is facing another top-class lawyer! But I feel like this time, there's truly nothing Gu Chen can do!!]

Many netizens also sympathized with Cai Qian.

Because this case had several issues.

Many observant people could see that Zhao Lele just wanted the house title to be transferred solely to her before marriage.

The bride price amounted to 300,000, such a hefty sum...

Moreover, the two were already engaged!

After the engagement, Zhao Lele turned around and accused Cai Qian of rape.

The key issue was that Zhao Lele sued three days after staying in a hotel, when Cai Qian's family was unwilling to transfer the house title to Zhao Lele or arrange for property notarization. That's when Zhao Lele filed the case.

It's clear Zhao Lele just wanted the money, wanted the property!

Not getting it, she called the police!

But netizens felt helpless!

They had no choice!

After all, women supposedly have the freedom to choose?

Even if they agreed initially, retracting consent still counts as rape.

We can only say Cai Qian was pretty unlucky...

And for this case, netizens knew it was unbeatable.

If Zhao Lele's actions were premeditated, the case was truly unmanageable.

[No idea why Lawyer Gu took this unwinnable case, but if he can win it, Gu Chen would be truly impressive, winning a completely adverse case!]

[Hope Gu Chen can win this case, Cai Qian is truly a victim, as long as it's not ruled as rape, I think there's no problem.]

[Feels like nothing can be done for this case, not even Gu Chen can help, especially with the top-class lawyer Zhao Yu on the other side.]

[Can this case actually be won? Can Cai Qian avoid going to jail?]

Many netizens sympathized with Cai Qian, but their hands were tied.

No matter how much support they showed...

In this case, they weren't able to help Cai Qian.

The only one who might help was Gu Chen.....

Meanwhile, many women also commented online.

[Why are so many men sympathizing with a rapist, all just low-class men. Watch, this case will surely lose, and Cai Qian will definitely go to jail.]

[Ha! If Cai Qian doesn't go to jail, I'll eat my hat upside down, run naked in the park, signed declaration!!]

[The trial is in a few days! Just wait and see, I believe Zhao Lele is right! Too many low-class men!!]

And at this moment...

Gu Chen was still making the final preparations for the trial!
