The entire audience looked at the USB drive in Gu Chen's hand.

Many viewers online still remember that when Gu Chen was in a previous trial, he also brought out a USB drive.

The USB drive contained evidence!

Does Gu Chen have new evidence for this case?

[Huh? Lawyer Gu brought out evidence again?]

[Here it comes, the familiar USB drive!]

[No way, can this case be overturned too?]

[If Lawyer Gu can really overturn this case, that would be amazing... I feel like no one can overturn this case.]

[Zhao Lele has all kinds of evidence, DNA test reports, surveillance footage from the hotel hallway, is that not enough to confirm the rape? Lawyer Gu still wants to overturn it?]

Presiding Judge Zhao Zhichao said, "Submit the evidence."

Gu Chen submitted the evidence.

Gu Chen said, "To determine if it was rape, we need to see if there are obvious signs of struggle, injuries, or resistance on the woman. It's clear Zhao Lele didn't provide any signs of struggle or resistance. We can't just rely on what the woman says; just because she says it's rape, doesn't make it so."

"Of course, I'll say something not very ethical: if someone goes to a nightclub and gets intimate with a woman, and later the woman is unsatisfied and claims it's rape, is it rape? I think we need to base the judgment on comprehensive evidence, not just one person's claims."

The court was preparing to play the two videos Gu Chen had just submitted.

Many viewers in the livestream agreed.

After all, the law shouldn't be a tool for women to threaten men with rape allegations.

If during intimacy, the woman consents...

But afterwards, the woman suddenly demands a hundred thousand yuan.

If the man doesn't pay, then she claims it's rape.

If the court determines crimes solely on a woman's word, it undermines credibility, and who knows how many men would suffer unjustly.

Whether a man committed a crime cannot be decided based purely on a woman's word.

Gu Chen said, "Moreover, the fact that Zhao Lele reported the case three days later raises questions about it. If it really were rape, she should have reported it immediately. Also, you can't convict Cai Qian of rape just based on Zhao Lele's words, when she has no signs of resistance."

Zhao Yu stood firm and said, "Isn't Zhao Lele's claim of rape enough? Why does there have to be signs of resistance?"

"If the suspect threatened the woman with a knife, saying she'd be killed if she resisted, and thus she didn't resist, isn't that still rape?" Zhao Yu said.

Zhao Yu, an accomplished attorney, was very professional and went toe-to-toe with Gu Chen.

Zhao Yu said, "And speaking of resistance, the hotel's surveillance video shows Cai Qian forcibly bringing Zhao Lele back to the hotel, which indicates rape. If Lawyer Gu disagrees, then please provide evidence, proving Cai Qian did not rape Zhao Lele, and that the hotel surveillance video is problematic."

Gu Chen just smiled and said, "Don't rush."

Soon, the evidence was going to be played in court!

Gu Chen had submitted two video evidences in total.

The first video evidence...

was the surveillance inside the hotel room!

The hotel room was a king-sized room, with a large bed in the middle....

And in this hotel room, there happened to be a hidden camera, right in the center of the ceiling.

The camera could capture everything happening on the bed.

Viewers went crazy when they saw this.

Even Zhao Yu was taken aback for a moment.

The livestream was completely blowing up!

[Huh? Lawyer Gu produced video evidence?]

[OMG? Hotel surveillance footage?!]

[They asked for evidence and you're playing a video in court?!]

[OMG OMG OMG, how did Lawyer Gu even find this evidence?]

[Huh? Isn't this a private hotel room? How can there be surveillance? OMG!]

[Lawyer Gu is incredible, actually managed to find this evidence? OMG... wouldn't watching this video show if it's rape or not?]

[Amazing! This case is truly fascinating!! Hahaha, Lawyer Gu is so formidable!!]

[Fun fact, many hotel rooms have cameras, especially in rooms with large beds, so it's better to book rooms with two beds to avoid hidden cameras. Also, they're separated, reducing the risk of being filmed.]

Zhao Lele was taken aback as well.

Zhao Lele: "?????"

Zhao Lele never thought there could be surveillance footage in the hotel?!

Was someone secretly recording her?

Zhao Lele was instantly furious!

This violated her right to privacy!!

But Zhao Lele didn't dare speak, as the judge hadn't given her the chance to speak.

Gu Chen said, "This is the evidence! Of course, this video has been censored, many key parts are blurred, so it won't reveal any privacy."

"As for what happened then, the video evidence can clearly show it!!"

Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Lawyer Gu, did you record this video? If you did, you violated privacy rights! And you're responsible for illegal surveillance!"

Gu Chen said, "I didn't record it, this video is from the hotel's internal surveillance. Who placed the camera doesn't concern me; you should ask the hotel or choose to report it to the police. I happened to find this video and brought it forward as evidence, and it's censored so it won't leak any privacy."

"This video is to reconstruct the events at that time! So everyone can see if Cai Qian raped Zhao Lele! Video evidence is the most direct!"

After Gu Chen finished, viewers in the livestream applauded.

[Wow, they really produced a video!]

[Indeed, this evidence is the most direct! If it's rape, surely Zhao Lele would resist.]

[Quick, look, can't wait!!]

[OMG, this is so intense? Won't the livestream get shut down?]

[Indeed, just watching the video can reveal the truth!]

Zhao Yu said nothing.

Presiding Judge Zhao Zhichao looked at Gu Chen and said, "Defense attorney, are you sure this video is censored? If it causes negative impacts, even if it's evidence, you'll have legal responsibilities."

Gu Chen said, "I've already censored the video, and after the beginning, you can clearly see the main characters in the video are Cai Qian and Zhao Lele."

At this point, the presiding judge hadn't spoken yet.

Zhao Lele shouted out, "Presiding Judge, I object! This evidence can't be played in court even if it's censored! I feel Attorney Gu is insulting me! Violating my privacy rights, my reputation, violating my dignity! I demand Lawyer Gu be sentenced to death!! Death penalty!! This is my privacy, how dare he show it as evidence?"
