Zhao Yiping's face was pale, and she collapsed on the ground, feeling weak all over.

She couldn't even stand up.

Zhao Yiping said, "No, it has nothing to do with me, it's nothing to do with me."

Gu Chen said, "If you confess truthfully, the punishment will be lenient."

Zhao Yiping sat there collapsed, unable to stand steadily.

Zhao Yiping's voice trembled, "I met Zhao Lele three years ago. Zhao Lele told me to pretend to be her mom, then rent a house locally, and then we could cheat dowries from all over the country... cheat money. She said there was no risk, Zhao Lele said it's best to cheat honest people because they don't understand the law well. If you cheat those who will take you to court, it's troublesome..."

"If you cheat a rich second generation, that's totally fine. You can cheat dowries and also cheat the rich second generation into buying a new house before marriage and add both names, because the rich second generation won't be stupid enough to transfer it to her name, and then divorce half a month after marriage, so you can take away the rich second generation's property, the house...."

"Just recently, Zhao Lele found that cheating money this way was too slow because Zhao Lele's expenses were large, but not that many honest people were willing to transfer their houses to her, and auctioning houses also takes time...."

"Cheating an honest person to the point of discussing marriage, to get a dowry, takes at least half a month, most often a month... or even longer. Zhao Lele felt this way of making money was too slow, so she also chose to shoot movies... that is, act."

"This kind of acting makes money fast. Zhao Lele said she would do anything for money, but it wasn't normal movies she acted in, it was like the kind with the doll sister, but Zhao Lele's movies didn't catch on and didn't earn much money."

"She's been constantly thinking of ways to make money lately...."

"Everything I know is right here. Many times I was only pretending to be Zhao Lele's mom, then bringing the man's side to meet the parents, I stated my price for the dowry, the rest of the cheating I didn't participate in. I was just acting the role and asking for the dowry..."

"Only starting this year, Zhao Lele suddenly thought of accusing the men of rape to extort money. I said this was illegal, but she insisted on doing it, so I agreed...."

"This year, three people were cheated, two of them were scared and transferred their houses to Zhao Lele."

"Only Cai Qian was unwilling to transfer the house no matter what, so Zhao Lele did such a thing."

"I had no choice... Your Honor, Lawyer Gu, I really had no choice."

At this point, Zhao Yiping was already crying.

Zhao Yiping, with tear-filled eyes, said, "Although I've known Zhao Lele for three years, I didn't make much money in those three years, only thirty thousand each time, occasionally getting a house for a hundred thousand, I made about one million in three years..."

"But I was desperate!"

Zhao Yiping continued, "My son was diagnosed with leukemia four years ago. Do you know how much his medication costs per month? Five thousand a month! But my son is only in elementary school! Acute leukemia!!"

"For my son's treatment, the car was gone, the house was consumed, and no relatives were willing to lend me money."

"My husband didn't want this son anymore, I disagreed, my husband divorced me, and my parents also cut ties with me...."

"I'm the only one trying to find ways to treat my son!"

"I can't give up, if I give up, my son will die, he will die!"

"So when Zhao Lele came to me, I was willing to do anything, but I really didn't know about the killing, I really didn't know this would harm others."

"I confess, I confess to any crime."

"But I plead with society to save my son. He did nothing wrong, he didn't break the law, he knows nothing."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I just want my son to survive, I had no choice, the genuine medication was too expensive, the treatment's costs were too expensive....."

"I cheated lots of money, but I never lived a good day. I suffered psychological torture every day, knowing that cheating is wrong, but I had to save my child, that's my only child."

"I usually eat only buns and boiled water. Ever since my son got sick, I haven't had a proper meal!!"

"Do you think Zhao Lele would give me a penny more? Every time if the dowry didn't work, she would blame me and deduct my money, I had no way... besides this, I didn't know how else to save my son."

"Your Honor, I confess... I just ask you to save my son."

Zhao Yiping knelt there, tears streaming down her face.

The law is merciless.

Cheating is cheating.

Gu Chen couldn't help, but even so, he still had to do what a lawyer should do.

As for treatment, the medication was outrageously expensive.

In this era... many medications for leukemia are outrageously expensive, not covered by medical insurance, and ordinary people simply can't afford them!

Zhao Yiping knelt in front of Gu Chen and said, "Lawyer Gu, I know I deserve to die, but I beg you for one thing. You are a very capable lawyer. I have watched all the cases you have handled, and today I also realized how capable Lawyer Gu is...."

"If one day, Lawyer Gu can... I hope Lawyer Gu can take on those companies selling outrageously expensive drugs! Their drugs are too expensive! And they also aggressively fight against generic drugs, I hope Lawyer Gu can fight for the rights of many patients... I hope Lawyer Gu can make our countrymen afford these outrageously expensive drugs... at least get them covered by insurance."

...

After Zhao Yiping finished, she felt much older.

And Zhao Lele was still there feeling a bit anxious.

Zhao Lele hadn't listened to what these people had said.

In court, Zhao Lele was secretly playing on her phone.

Because all eyes were on Zhao Yiping just now.

Zhao Lele, instead, was playing on her phone, thinking she was innocent, no matter what Gu Chen said eloquently, she felt it had nothing to do with her.

The houses were voluntarily given to her by others, the dowries were also voluntarily given, each party willingly gave what they did, how did she commit a crime?

Zhao Lele was very anxious because the sponsor for the night thought five thousand a night was too high and wanted to lower the price, otherwise, he wouldn't come.

Sponsor: "Five thousand? Too expensive, three thousand, or I'll find someone else."

Zhao Lele: "Why not, I'm good-looking!"

Sponsor: "Idiot, motherfucker, so expensive for a night, do you really think you're encrusted with diamonds?"

Zhao Lele: "?"

Blocked?

Zhao Lele was trying to find a way to text this guy a curse.

What a filthy guy?

He thinks five thousand is expensive?

By the time Zhao Lele came back to her senses, her phone was confiscated.

Zhao Lele: "???

Zhao Lele already in a fit, slapped the armed police directly.

Zhao Lele: "Are you sick? Why take my phone? You're infringing on my privacy! My privacy is not for you to infringe! Do you know how much money you're costing me by taking my phone for a second, can you afford to compensate? Do you believe I'll find the best lawyer to put you in jail?"
