Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

On the big screen, the enlarged characters "Zhang Wei" were bright red and glaring.

It silently proclaimed that all previous efforts and struggles had been in vain.

In the audience, people were still talking about Chen Ye's question, "Is this even love?"

The riders, whose hopes had been ignited, were all stunned.

How could that be?

How could this happen?

Zhang Wei is clearly a victim, so why would he sign something that sounds like a contract of servitude?

Anran's face lost all color in an instant, turning as pale as paper.

The documents she was holding were scattered all over the floor, but she was completely unaware of it.

It’s over.

This time it's really over.

If the "shell company" is the other party's weakness.

So this "Risk Confirmation Form" is the armor they wear.

Black and white on paper, with a personal signature.

"Voluntarily assume all unexpected risks."

These few words are enough to overturn all their previous efforts.

Qin Kexin stood next to Chen Ye, and she could sense it.

The man beside her tensed up instantly.

scam.

It was a carefully orchestrated scam from the very beginning.

From that seemingly harmless "Cooperation Agreement" to this shell labor service company.

Then there's this "Risk Confirmation Letter" hidden among countless clauses.

Huohuo Takeaway has built an impregnable fortress for itself using the law.

They transferred all the risks onto the lowest-level riders through a series of legal clauses.

And the riders, for that meager income.

They simply don't know how, nor are they capable of, carefully reading those densely packed texts.

They will simply follow the prompts and tap the "agree" button on the screen.

Then, without realizing it, he signed this "life-or-death contract" for himself.

【Oh shit……】

I was careless.

I never expected these bastards to be so ruthless.

[A series of interconnected schemes; this is treating the law like a maze!]

It felt like a million flies were buzzing in Chen Ye's mind.

He cheated people and was cheated himself in his past life.

But I've never seen anyone do something so "legal" and so seamless in scamming people.

He miscalculated.

He thought that by revealing the shell company as his trump card, he could checkmate the enemy.

Unexpectedly, the opponent had a "royal flush" on their chessboard.

As Zhong Zhengyang looked at the scene in the plaintiff's seat, a smile finally appeared on his face.

He spoke slowly.

"Your Honor, the evidence is already very clear."

"Mr. Zhang Wei, as an adult with full civil capacity..."

He fully understood and agreed to all the risk terms when he joined the platform.

"This shows that his relationship with the platform is one of equality and voluntary cooperation."

"He takes on the corresponding risks for his choices, which is the most basic spirit of contract."

"As for the issues raised by the plaintiff, such as uniform clothing and unified management."

This is simply the platform's way of maintaining its brand image and improving user experience.

Furthermore, the commercial demands made by partners do not involve the personal dependence inherent in an employment relationship.

"In conclusion, we believe that the facts of the first-instance judgment are clear and the applicable law is correct, and we request the court to uphold it."

In the dock, the presiding judge remained silent.

He looked toward the plaintiff's seat, his questioning gesture quite obvious.

"Plaintiff, do you have anything to say regarding the new evidence submitted by the defendant?"

What did you say?

What else can be said?

Faced with the ironclad facts in black and white, any explanation seems pale and powerless.

Li Zhe and Wang Hao lowered their heads, no longer having the courage to even look at the judge's bench.

lost.

They seemed to hear the sound of their ideals shattering.

Qin Kexin's hands were trembling slightly.

She looked at Chen Ye, this man.

Can he create another miracle this time?

All eyes were once again focused on Chen Ye.

Those riders, those families.

They may not understand the law, but they can read the atmosphere.

They looked at the young lawyer.

In their eyes, the last glimmer of hope was slowly fading away.

Chen Ye did not answer immediately.

He just stood there, motionless.

In his mind, all the legal knowledge from his predecessors was running wildly.

Countless legal provisions, cases, and judicial interpretations flashed by like code.

Contract Law, Labor Law, Civil Code...

One by one, style by style.

Ultimately, all the information pointed to one result.

No solution.

Under the current legal framework, this "Risk Confirmation Letter" personally confirmed by the parties involved is virtually flawless.

Are we really going to lose?

[I've just come out of seclusion, and I'm already going to be defeated by this old fox?]

【No.】

I can't lose!

We lost. I'm sorry to everyone outside.

[And I feel even more sorry for my past self, the one who was sunk into the lake!]

A violent, malevolent fire suddenly surged up from the depths of Chen Ye's heart.

Screw the legal framework!

Screw the spirit of contracts!

When the law is used as a tool for the strong to bully the weak, then that tool should be smashed!

Chen Ye suddenly raised his head.

The ease and confidence he had shown earlier were gone from his face.

He looked at Zhong Zhengyang and suddenly smiled.

That smile made Zhong Zhengyang's heart skip a beat.

"presiding judge."

"I admit, we lost."

boom!

These words exploded like a real bomb in the courtroom.

In the plaintiff's seat, Qin Kexin and others suddenly looked at him, their faces full of disbelief.

After a moment of silence, suppressed sobs broke out in the audience.

The gray-haired woman's body went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Even Wu Han, who was in the defendant's seat, was stunned.

He hadn't expected the other side to surrender so readily.

"Lawyer Chen!" Wang Hao cried out in disbelief.

"Shut up!" Chen Ye shouted without turning his head.

Wang Hao fell silent instantly, but his bloodshot eyes were filled with resentment.

Zhong Zhengyang looked at Chen Ye, who did not relax in the slightest because of the word "admit defeat".

On the contrary, alarm bells were ringing in his mind.

This young man is not one to give up easily.

He must have a trick up his sleeve for saying that!

"presiding judge."

Chen Ye turned to the judge's bench and pointed to the "Risk Confirmation Letter" on the big screen.

"I admit that, according to the law and this contract, we have lost."

"Zhang Wei deserved his broken leg. We deserved to have worked for nothing."

"Firefire Takeout, pure and flawless, not a single mistake."

The presiding judge frowned but did not interrupt him.

"but!"

Chen Ye abruptly changed the subject, his entire aura instantly becoming incredibly sharp!

"The law protects fairness and justice!"

"It's not about letting these capitalists use the law as a shield to comfortably profit from human suffering!"

He pointed at Zhong Zhengyang.

"You want to talk to me about the spirit of contracts? Fine!"

"I'm going to talk to you today about what the hell a sense of contractual obligation really means!"

Chen Ye took a deep breath and stopped looking at anyone.

It was as if I had pierced through the walls of the courtroom and seen into a much farther place.

"This confirmation form is a standard form, isn't it?"

Zhong Zhengyang did not answer, but legally, that is indeed the case.

"For standard terms and conditions, those clauses that exempt or reduce one party's liability or increase the other party's liability."

The provider has an obligation to provide clear and conspicuous notices and explanations, right?

Zhong Zhengyang remained silent.

"Alright, may I ask?"

Chen Ye's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

Before Zhang Wei clicked "agree," who did Huohuo Delivery send? Who did they send? And how did they do it?

He was given "significant hints" and "clear instructions"?!

"Did you tell him that if he signs this and gets into a car accident, you won't pay him a single penny?!"

"Did you tell him that signing this is tantamount to selling his life to your algorithm and system?!"

Do you have any?!

Each question, like a thunderclap, exploded in the courtroom!

Zhong Zhengyang's expression finally changed.
