Two days later.

The case of Zhao Lele demanding a 300,000 yuan bride price and Cai Qian accused of sexually assaulting Zhao Lele is about to begin.

The trial is set for two in the afternoon.

And this trial will be livestreamed across the internet.

Even before the broadcast started, the number of people in the livestream room had exceeded 30,000.

Netizens across the internet are following this trial closely.

At 1:55 in the afternoon, the livestream started.

Except for the presiding judge, the judge, and Gu Chen, everyone was present.

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

Defendant: Cai Qian.

There was Zhao Lele's "mother" Zhao Yiping in the audience.

Also in the audience were Cai Qian's family and people from all walks of life.

However, Cai Qian was brought in by the police, as he is still a criminal suspect.

Netizens in the livestream room were sending bullet comments one after another.

[The trial's about to start, why hasn't Gu Chen arrived yet?]

[I'm not sure if Gu Chen can win this time. He succeeded in the last two cases, so maybe he can do it again?]

[Probably not this time. How could he win? Even Luo Xiang said that it's impossible to win this defense.]

[Looks like Gu Chen might lose this time. Even the Lawless Madman won't help. Cai Qian won't win this lawsuit, no matter how pitiful.]

[Oh... poor Brother Cai, stuck with a woman like Zhao Lele. It's truly disgusting.]

Until the very last minute, Gu Chen walked into the courtroom.

When Gu Chen entered, Zhao Lele glanced at him with disdain.

After all, Zhao Yu said that anyone taking this case would surely lose.

Zhao Lele was already planning in her head how to spend the compensation from Cai Qian's family.

The 300,000-yuan bride price was almost all spent...

As for the additional 200,000 yuan, it wasn't about any brother.

Zhao Lele simply spent the 300,000 and wanted to buy a purse.

Isn't it normal for a girl to buy a new purse?

If Cai Qian's family gave her 200,000 more and transferred two houses to her, Zhao Lele thought signing a letter of forgiveness wouldn't be a big deal.

And yet for such a small amount of money, Cai Qian refused?

Before the trial began, Zhao Lele picked up her phone and posted on Weibo, "Ladies, don't date stingy guys. Their families are too poor; it's no fun at all."

Zhao Lele was also stringing along a few naive men on WeChat recently.

Zhao Lele thought... to make more money this time, she'd have to demand 600,000 as a bride price. She wouldn't marry for anything less.

Though she never really intended to marry...

Opening WeChat, she received a message.

The sender had a Big Bad Wolf avatar.

Man: "See you tonight? How about 3,000?"

Zhao Lele: "3,000 for one time, 5,000 for the night."

Man: "Sure, sure, all services included?"

Zhao Lele: "OK."

Zhao Lele thought relying solely on bride prices was too slow.

After all, to define a relationship, date, and then marry a guy, would take at least one or two months at minimum.

It could take her one or two months to get tens of thousands in bride price, or maybe a house.

So she found a new side job.

5,000 a night, which amounted to 150,000 a month.

Zhao Lele thought it was quite a bargain.

Of course... Cai Qian never imagined that he paid 300,000 in bride price, only to have Zhao Lele report him to the police after just a touch and get him arrested.

And now Zhao Lele could spend the night with someone else for just 5,000.

.....

[He's here, he's here! Lawyer Gu is here!!]

[Lawyer Gu!!]

[Lawyer Gu is here with his briefcase again! He brought it to the last two cases he won!]

[Lawyer Gu looks so handsome! He walks like he has a breeze behind him!]

[I feel like Lawyer Gu is full of confidence, maybe he really can win this case.]

[Don't get your hopes up. The sexual assault is a fact; it's impossible to win. Gu Chen can't do it, confidence alone won't help; he's the defendant now.]

[Indeed, Gu Chen is the defendant this time. How could he defend Cai Qian? Cai Qian is probably going to be sentenced to several years today.]

After sending her message, Zhao Lele glanced at Gu Chen and said quietly, "What's he pretending for, winning two cases and thinks he's amazing? How much does he earn a month compared to me?"

Zhao Lele muttered quietly, and no one heard her.

"What's this Lawless Madman about, just riding the wave of fame. This time, I have Lawyer Zhao Yu helping me, and Cai Qian is definitely going to jail!"

"I can find a way to get 200,000 in compensation and then buy a purse, that'll be nice!" Zhao Lele didn't even glance at Gu Chen.

In her eyes, Gu Chen was just an ordinary lawyer.

How much does an ordinary lawyer earn in a year?

She could make 70,000 to 80,000 a month on average, so a million a year wasn't a problem!

And what about Gu Chen?

He'd only handled two cases in total; how much could he earn from them?

What's all this about being the Lawless Madman, such a hype?

She hired top-notch Lawyer Zhao Yu!

Zhao Lele didn't even glance at Gu Chen, already planning what purse to buy on her phone.

200,000 could buy a pretty nice purse indeed.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't spare Zhao Lele a glance either.

The trial was about to start.

The presiding judge and the judge were about to enter as well.

It was still 1:59, and Gu Chen checked the time.

Cai Qian and Yan Guizhen were watching Gu Chen quietly.

They placed all their hopes on Gu Chen.

....

Fangda Law Firm.

Xue Qingqing said, "Grandpa, the trial is starting!!

Xue Qingqing watched the livestream eagerly.

Holding a tablet, Xue Qingqing looked at Gao Yong and said, "Brother Yong, why aren't you watching the livestream? Come and watch! Grandpa, why aren't you watching either?"

Even her grandfather, Xue Yaoting, wasn't watching the livestream.

Her grandpa usually supported Gu Chen but didn't watch the livestream today.

Holding documents, Xue Yaoting looked at his granddaughter, a loving smile on his face, "Grandpa is still busy. You watch the trial yourself, and if you have any questions, you can ask Xiaoyong."

Gao Yong, on the side, said, "I'm busy too. There's no need to watch this case; it's definitely going to end in a guilty verdict. Cai Qian will go to prison unless he can produce a letter of forgiveness from the plaintiff. It's an ironclad case."

Xue Qingqing sighed and said, "I know, but I always felt if it's Gu Chen, he might have a way to win. If he wins, I'll go be his assistant!"

Gao Yong laughed, "Don't count on it; there's no way he'll win. If Gu Chen really wins, I'll take you to his law firm so you can be his assistant, and I'll pay him to take you in."

Gao Yong shook his head, went back to work, and ignored Xue Qingqing.

As no one paid attention to her, Xue Qingqing quietly held her tablet and watched the livestream.

Even she didn't know how Gu Chen would handle this inevitable defeat.

If Gu Chen really manages to win, that would truly be a miracle!

And at that very moment...

The court session officially began!!

The presiding judge, the judge, everyone was there!
