"If such talent could join our Fangda Law Firm, it would be great. Gu Chen's legal knowledge, logical ability, and professional skills are no weaker than those of a top attorney," said Xue Yaoting.

Gao Yong added from the side, "Director, we offered Gu Chen an annual salary of 1.5 million, the industry's top salary, and he still didn't join our Fangda Law Firm... He wants to develop his own law firm, start his own company, and expand the law firm by himself."

Xue Qingqing was full of admiration because Gu Chen had indeed handled the case beautifully.

If she were a trainee lawyer looking for a mentor, she should seek out a lawyer like Gu Chen.

Not for anything else, but just to learn more by Gu Chen's side.

Xue Qingqing said, "After Lawyer Gu finishes this case, I'll intern at his law firm; an internship should be fine, and I can work as his assistant."

Establishing a law firm can't rely solely on Gu Chen being overwhelmed, and Xue Qingqing is already thinking of going to Gu Chen's law firm to learn...

Even if Fangda Law Firm can't recruit Gu Chen, she also wants to learn from him.

After all, Gu Chen is even more impressive than the top lawyers!

Just these three cases have made everyone notice Gu Chen...

Is there any case he can't handle?

With these three cases, each time Gu Chen did better than the last!

...

In the courtroom.

Zhao Yu, Lele's lawyer, ran away.

Only Zhao Lele was left, looking rather flustered.

Zhao Lele said, "Your Honor, I apply to withdraw the lawsuit; I won't prosecute Cai Qian anymore, let's just end this here. I'm tired; I need to go back to rest."

Zhao Lele wanted to end the case by withdrawing the lawsuit.

After all, her ultimate goal was to get Cai Qian in jail.

Now that there's no evidence to put Cai Qian in jail, Zhao Lele just thought of withdrawing the lawsuit and going their separate ways.

Since the goal wasn't achieved and the lawyer ran away, why continue the lawsuit?

She is the plaintiff, so even if she loses the case, it doesn't matter.

Zhao Lele said, "I won't pursue Cai Qian's responsibility anymore; he gets off easy. Although he did violate my will and raped me, I am generous and won't pursue responsibility."

Zhao Lele felt a bit regretful.

After all, she originally wanted compensation of 200,000, and once she got the money, she could buy a bag.

Besides, Zhao Lele had an appointment that night and could earn money too. She could easily make 5,000 a night, so why not make money if she could?

Zhao Lele was already prepared to leave.

As Zhao Lele was about to leave, several policemen surrounded her, not allowing her to leave.

The judge said, "The court is still in session, and the case is not over. The plaintiff cannot leave the courtroom without any reason."

Zhao Lele said, "I have something to do, and I've withdrawn the lawsuit. I'm not pursuing responsibility anymore, so why can't I leave? Why not let me leave? I'll complain about you, restricting my personal freedom!"

The judge, Zhao Zhichao, looked at Gu Chen and said, "Please, the defendant's defense lawyer, state your case."

Gu Chen said, "The case is not over, and the trial is already halfway through. Can you withdraw the lawsuit simply because you want to? Moreover, this is already a criminal case; you can't just withdraw it when you say so."

Zhao Lele: "....."

Zhao Lele said, "Fine, then judge it. At most, Cai Qian would be found not guilty; can you quickly finish judging so I can go home and rest?"

Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, I request to restate my claims."

The judge, Zhao Zhichao, nodded, "Granted."

Gu Chen said, "First, I assert that our client, Cai Qian, did not commit any act of rape and has not committed a crime, so I request the immediate release of Cai Qian! Cai Qian is innocent!!"

"Second, Cai Qian and Zhao Lele are only engaged, not married, and haven't even registered for marriage. I request that Zhao Lele must unconditionally return the three gold items and the 300,000 betrothal gift!!"

"Third, I believe Zhao Lele has engaged in extortion! Just like her mother, Zhao Yiping, they conspired for extortion! Under Article 330 of the Criminal Law, I request the court to sentence Zhao Lele to death!"

"Fourth claim, Zhao Lele falsely accused and slandered Cai Qian, seriously threatening Cai Qian's personal life, and I request Zhao Lele be sentenced and to compensate Cai Qian 300,000 in damages for emotional distress!"

Gu Chen restated the claims.

Zhao Lele: "?????"

Gu Chen was too audacious.

She was the plaintiff!

What right does Gu Chen have to want her sentenced to death? What right?

Gu Chen said, "Your Honor, Cai Qian and Zhao Lele are not married, they are merely engaged, and they haven't even cohabitated. The 300,000 betrothal gift from Cai Qian was intended for marriage. Now that there is no marital relationship, and there will be no marriage in the future, I request Zhao Lele to return the 300,000 betrothal gift; it is justified, reasonable, and legal."

Zhao Lele: "????"

Zhao Lele: "You say return money, and I just have to return money? For what reason? I'm engaged; isn't accepting a betrothal gift expected? The reason the marriage isn't happening is that Cai Qian isn't willing to change the house's name to mine. He lacked sincerity. Now that I'm not getting married, returning the betrothal gift isn't possible. Do as you please."

The judge, Zhao Zhichao, banged the gavel, looking at Zhao Lele.

"Order in the court!"

"Another reminder to the plaintiff, if the plaintiff cannot remain silent and continues to disrupt court order, she will bear legal responsibility!"

Only then did Zhao Lele stop speaking.

Anyway, she had made up her mind; if asked, she had no money.

Even if she were asked to repay, she wouldn't.

That 300,000 was spent on two bags and a designer outfit, and now they want her to repay?

She acquired the betrothal gift using her abilities; why should she return it?

As for anything about the death penalty, Zhao Lele was not afraid; what does she have to fear?

She was the plaintiff...

The plaintiff could be sentenced to death?

Was Gu Chen dreaming?

Being a lawyer, did he actually think he was a Lawless Madman?

Zhao Lele looked dismissive.

Gu Chen said, "In this case, it's very clear that Zhao Lele initially demanded the 300,000 betrothal gift for marriage, then fabricated rape evidence in a hotel to threaten Cai Qian into changing the name on a 3 million yuan house to hers. Moreover, no Smurf was used for DNA testing. Zhao Lele and Zhao Yiping even coerced Cai Qian into admitting to rape to blackmail him."

"After Cai Qian was captured, Zhao Lele stated that the precondition for issuing a letter of understanding was the transferring of two properties from Cai Qian's family to her. Zhao Lele's actions constituted extortion."

"According to Article 274 of the Criminal Law, if the amount extorted is large or if there are repeated instances of extortion, it can warrant a sentence of up to three years of fixed-term imprisonment, criminal detention, or surveillance, with imposed fines or penalties."

Viewers in the livestream were a bit excited.

It's happening!

Lawyer Gu exerted his power!!

This time, Zhao Lele might get imprisoned!!

But such extortion might only result in a sentence of a few years...

And Lawyer Gu's claim was a death penalty?

Just extortion isn't enough, is it?

Could it be that Lawyer Gu has other evidence?
