As is well known, routine cases require waiting for the response period and scheduling.

The defendant has a 15-day period to respond and a 15-day period to present evidence.

This is the defendant's legitimate right.

But now that Jiang Chen has the evidence, this period of time has become somewhat superfluous.

This matter will continue to be on Cheng Ye's mind, causing him worry.

Therefore, he wished he could receive the court summons today and have the trial start tomorrow!

He can breathe a sigh of relief if this matter is resolved as soon as possible.

"hehe……"

Jiang Chen could understand Cheng Ye's anxiety.

Many ordinary people, when their legitimate rights are violated, are often unwilling to go to court to resolve the issue.

On the one hand, there is the need to pay high litigation costs and lawyer fees.

On the other hand, there is a long interval between the trial and the court hearing.

For ordinary people, they don't have that much free time.

"Mr. Cheng, if you want the court hearing to be held earlier... of course, that's possible."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"I can immediately apply to the court for a expedited pre-trial hearing and expedite the trial."

"As long as we reach a consensus with the plaintiff, we will voluntarily waive the period for filing a defense and the period for submitting evidence in writing."

"Once all the procedures are completed, the court can schedule a hearing immediately, possibly as early as tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ye was already quite impatient.

"Really? Then I'll trouble Attorney Jiang to communicate with the opposing lawyer."

"I hope this case goes to trial as soon as possible; the thought of that woman makes me feel nauseous!"

The psychological state of the person involved should also be taken into account.

As for how to contact the lawyer on the other end, Jiang Chen naturally had it.

The lawyer's letter mentioned how to contact the opposing law firm.

That same day, Jiang Chen met with the opposing defense lawyer.

The other party is a divorce lawyer with six or seven years of experience.

He wasn't intimidated by Jiang Chen's previous achievements. Even in front of Jiang Chen, he maintained a professional and composed demeanor.

The two agreed to meet at each other's law firm for discussions.

The entire process was kept private, and Jiang Chen did not start a live stream.

"Attorney Jiang, I need to confirm this one last time."

"Are you certain that you will waive the time limit for filing a defense and submitting evidence, sign a written agreement, and proceed with the trial immediately?"

"This requires the signatures of both you and the defendant, Cheng Ye."

The opposing defense lawyer spoke slowly.

His name is Zhou Yan, and he is a young lawyer in his thirties.

Even though Jiang Chen has gained considerable fame in the industry these days, he is not intimidated.

Even more so...

If they can win the lawsuit against Jiang Chen, it will be a chance to make a name for themselves!

After all, the lawsuit Jiang Chen is currently fighting has attracted so much attention online that the court is conducting live online hearings.

The previous lawsuit was suspected of being private, and even those sitting in the audience were not allowed to bring their cell phones.

It is different now.

As times change, all litigation in our country has always followed the system of open trials.

Except for legally mandated confidentiality situations, all court hearings are by default required to be open to the public.

With the development of the internet, live streaming of court hearings simply moves offline attendance to the internet; it is a modern extension of open trials and is completely legal and compliant.

According to Article 32 of the "Rules of the People's Courts", the court may broadcast or record court hearings via the Internet and public media.

Not only that.

According to the Supreme People's Court's "Regulations on Live and Recorded Court Hearings," courts have the right to proactively select cases with high public attention, significant social impact, and legal education value to conduct live broadcasts.

Any case that Jiang Chen is involved in attracts a lot of public attention!

Therefore, the relevant courts will choose to conduct the trials live.

Jiang Chen did not have the right to broadcast the court proceedings live; otherwise, viewers in the live stream wouldn't even be able to see the trial!

"We are certain that the trial will begin immediately," Jiang Chen nodded in response.

Before the formal trial begins, the defense lawyers for both sides can discuss the trial arrangements.

A consensus has now been reached.

Jiang Chen obtained Cheng Ye's autograph that same day.

This written report, in which the defendant voluntarily waives the right to file a defense, was immediately sent to the court.

The court has decided that the trial will be held the following day.

Jiang Chen also posted the news on his social media page.

This immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

[What? Jiang Chen's new lawsuit is starting so soon?]

[Tsk tsk tsk... Applying for early processing, they really couldn't wait any longer!]

[After all, the case is too simple, without many complicated procedures, so it's better to have it tried early!]

[If the process goes smoothly, it will take at least a month. There's no need to waste time on such a small case!]

Jiang Chen seems quite confident. Has he already prepared the evidence?

[It's a package deal! Without a solid foundation, how could Jiang Chen dare to file a lawsuit ahead of time?]

Every time I watch Jiang Chen in court, it's like he's feeding a ton of evidence into the judge's mouth.

Time flies.

The next day, Jiang Chen and Cheng Ye met up and went to the court.

I also met Cheng Ye's wife and the fitness coach.

Su Wan's attire was very unrestrained; she wore heavy makeup and blue shorts.

Beside him was a man who was 1.8 meters tall and had bulging muscles all over his body.

When the two met, Cheng Ye, not wanting to lower himself to the other party's level, went straight into the courtroom.

Su Wan clenched her fists and glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.

If it weren't for him, I probably could have gotten a smooth divorce and received a huge amount of property!

But because of him, her wishful thinking fell through!

Once everyone has entered the courtroom, the court clerk stands up and is responsible for reading the proceedings.

"We are now verifying the attendance of the parties involved and their legal representatives."

"Plaintiff Su Wan, appear in court."

"Plaintiff No. 2 Gu Ming, appear in court."

"Plaintiff's attorney Zhou Yan is here in court."

"Defendant Yi Chengye, appear in court."

"Defendant No. 2 Jiang Chen, appear in court."

"All parties involved in the litigation have appeared in court!"

Following that, the court rules were read out.

"The court discipline will now be announced."

1. Without permission...

"..."

"The court rules have been announced. Presiding Judge and other judges, please enter the courtroom!"

The door to the side opened, and three figures slowly walked in.

This is a civil lawsuit, and the panel of judges consists of only three people.

The presiding judge was named Guo Xiuyuan, a dignified man in his forties.

He was accompanied by two judges.

One of the female judges, Xu Jing, appeared gentle and focused on verifying the details of the assets.

The other male judge was named Zhou Mingyuan. He was meticulous and focused on procedures and the legality of evidence.

After the three people were seated.

Boom!

Presiding Judge Guo Xiuyuan struck the gavel.

"The Dongyue District People's Court of Shanghai today held a public hearing in accordance with the ordinary procedure to hear the case of plaintiff Su Wan suing defendants Cheng Ye and Jiang Chen for a dispute over marital family and marital property tort liability."

"This case is presided over by Judge Guo Xiuyuan, who, together with Judges Xu Jing and Zhou Mingyuan, forms a collegial panel. The court clerk is responsible for recording the proceedings."

"Court is now in session!"
