Chapter 113 The lawyer's license has melted away like cream...

Zhou Yan was terrified when she heard such remarks!

Two criminal charges were handed out directly – this was Jiang Chen's counterattack!

[Alright, alright, let's begin chanting!]

[Hahaha... It started as a civil lawsuit, but Jiang Chen escalated it to a criminal case!]

[Jiang Chen was so amused he started flipping the table!]

When facing an opponent like Jiang Chen, it's best to play it safe, otherwise you never know what he might do next!

[The lawyer should be thankful this week that Jiang Chen didn't target him!]

[Upstairs, are you sure?]

After reciting the legal provisions, Jiang Chen's gaze shifted.

"Your Honor, we would also like to point out in court the professional misconduct of the plaintiff's attorney, Zhou Yan!"

Zhou Yan's eyes widened immediately.

Ok?

Professional misconduct?

Why is he being dragged into this?!

According to Articles 32, 40, and 49 of the Lawyers Law, if a client intentionally conceals significant illegal facts related to the core of the case after accepting a commission, and the commission itself is based on illegal purposes, the lawyer shall refuse to represent the client and shall not assist the client in concealing the truth or filing a false lawsuit!

"Zhou Yan represented the entire case and must have known that the plaintiff, Su Wan, possessed all the basic facts of the case and was aware of the key circumstances that Su Wan had committed serious marital misconduct and colluded with a third party to commit extortion."

"He deliberately concealed all criminal leads, fabricated a story about our malicious infringement, and assisted the client in filing a civil lawsuit with the intent of malicious pressure!"

Zhou Yan's face turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.

He was indeed aware of these criminal facts.

Can……

The lawyer fees that Su Wan asked for were far too high.

If Su Wan wins her case, he will also receive a large sum of legal fees!

It was precisely because of this money that he was willing to take such a risk...

Jiang Chen's gaze was fixed on Zhou Yan.

"The actions of the plaintiff's agent fully meet the requirements of Article 49, Paragraph 4 of the Lawyers Law, which prohibits 'obstructing the opposing party from legally obtaining evidence or assisting the client in concealing key facts and engaging in false litigation'!"

"This is a classic case of abusing legal representation and violating basic professional ethics for lawyers!"

I thought Jiang Chen had finished speaking.

But then he changed the subject.

"Furthermore, Article 307-1 of the Criminal Law clearly states that if an agent knowingly assists their client in fabricating facts during the lawsuit, submits biased evidence, or engages in false arguments, they are also considered an accomplice!"

Zhou Yan gripped the table tightly with both hands, staring at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

What's going on?

Why is he even bringing up criminal law?!

Targeting oneself?

"All audio and video recordings and written transcripts of the court hearing can be used as evidence for pursuing accountability. After the court hearing, we will compile all materials and submit a formal complaint to the local judicial bureau and bar association, requesting that the defendant's representative be investigated and prosecuted."

"Depending on the severity of the offense, penalties may include suspension of business, fines, or even revocation of the lawyer's license!"

Zhou Yan shuddered, abruptly standing up, his voice trembling slightly: "Your Honor!"

"The defendant's lawyer has launched unwarranted personal attacks and made malicious speculations against me!"

"I was merely fulfilling my legal duties as an agent!"

Jiang Chen interrupted the presiding judge before he could speak.

"I am not making a personal attack; my comments are based entirely on objective evidence that has been presented in court and will be played in full soon, as well as on current legal provisions."

"As a practicing lawyer, you have a legal obligation to be faithful to the facts and the law, rather than unconditionally covering up or concealing your client's illegal or wrongdoing."

"Knowing that the client is suspected of extortion, yet still representing them in litigation, does not constitute legal representation but rather illegal assistance in litigation!"

The presiding judge spoke in a deep voice, maintaining order in the courtroom:

"The defendant's attorney's statements all revolved around the evidence, legal provisions, and the compliance of the attorney's actions in this case, falling within the scope of court debate, and did not constitute any unwarranted attacks!"

"Plaintiff's representative, please be seated. You may present your rebuttal only after all the evidence has been played and examined."

Zhou Yan's lips trembled a few times, her heart filled with panic.

He could only sit down awkwardly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Zhou Yan is not only going to lose the lawsuit, but even his own lawyer's license is watching him from the heavens!

[Jiang Chen's latest stunt has even dragged criminal law into it!]

I already told you, why did you provoke him?!

Even I know Jiang Chen is not someone to mess with when he's in court, yet he still went out of his way to provoke him—it's like jumping into a toilet, he's asking for trouble!

[Hahaha! That's how it is!]

[If he had another chance, he probably wouldn't have dared to report Jiang Chen like that, right?]

[Bullshit! Even if you gave him another chance, he wouldn't give a damn about this case!]

Following that, Jiang Chen continued to explain the evidence.

The clerk placed the copied chat logs on the projector.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second set of evidence: the complete chat logs between Su Wan's third party and our client Cheng Ye, with page numbers marked."

"The text highlighted in red on the screen is explicit coercion from a third party. They threatened to send all the private videos to Cheng Ye's company's clients and relatives if he did not pay the ten million yuan compensation, thus ruining his career and reputation."

The other party made outrageous demands, asking for ten million in extortion.

Many people couldn't help but gasp in shock.

That's ten million!

Even if the other person works themselves to death as a fitness coach, they might not be able to earn ten million!

They're definitely treating Cheng Ye like a cash cow!

"The second set of evidence shows that a third party used the threat of releasing private videos to extort a huge sum of money from our client, objectively engaging in extortionate coercion!"

"The plaintiff, Su Wan, was fully aware of the entire coercion plan and did not offer any dissuasion or objection. She subjectively condoned and cooperated with the third party in using private images to blackmail her spouse!"

Both sets of evidence have been made public, and the plaintiffs have no grounds for rebuttal.

"Based on the above complete chain of evidence, we would like to add our arguments."

"The plaintiff's claims completely reverse cause and effect. Our client's actions were not intended to infringe upon the rights of their spouse, but rather were legitimate self-defense measures taken after learning that the two had conspired to blackmail them with private videos!"

The Civil Code protects marital property and the right of a spouse to be supported, but it absolutely does not condone adultery!

"The plaintiff is an accomplice in the extortion, and therefore has no grounds to claim a larger share of the property, seek damages, or hold our lawyers accountable for infringement!"

Now, the other party's claims are completely untenable.

Jiang Chen's remarks thoroughly exposed their reasons!

Zhou Yan has already begun to regret it.

Why did I let greed cloud my judgment and agree to this lawsuit?

For those lawyer fees, they might end up getting themselves into trouble!

At this moment.

His lawyer's license had melted away like cream...
