Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

The evidence is clear.

As the plaintiff's representative, Zhou Yan's defeat in the case was a foregone conclusion.

In this instance of presenting and examining evidence, debate is no longer meaningful.

Jiang Chen turned to look at the judge's bench and slowly took out a paper application.

After being handed to the bailiff, the bailiff then presented it to the judge's bench.

"Your Honor, the existing evidence is sufficient to prove that the two plaintiffs had the subjective intent to extort money and objectively carried out the act of threatening to extort a huge amount of money by threatening to release private videos. They are suspected of committing the crime of extortion together. This case is not within the scope of civil trial."

"Based on the principle of criminal proceedings first and civil proceedings later, we request the court to order the suspension of this civil lawsuit concerning the infringement of marital property, and to transfer all case files, videos, chat records, and other criminal clues to the local public security organ for investigation and prosecution of the two defendants."

"At the same time, we respectfully request the court to dismiss all of the plaintiff's civil claims in accordance with the law!"

There was a few seconds of silence in the courtroom as soon as the words were spoken.

Immediately afterwards, many people in the audience showed strange expressions.

totally unexpected……

In Jiang Chen's case, this lawsuit has already involved criminal offenses!

He's aiming to get the plaintiff arrested!

In the plaintiff's seat, Su Wan trembled and leaned heavily against the back of her chair.

The rosy color on her face had completely faded away!

Originally, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

She thought the worst outcome would be losing the civil lawsuit.

To everyone's surprise, Jiang Chen directly requested the court to transfer all the materials to the police so that she could be held criminally liable!

The thought of being convicted of extortion and facing imprisonment sent chills down her spine.

As for Zhou Yan beside him, he felt a chill run down his spine and straight to the top of his head, and his mind went blank!

Having worked in the legal profession for many years, he could easily see what this application meant.

Once the public security authorities open a case for investigation and it is confirmed that Su Wan is suspected of extortion, his actions as the lawyer, deliberately concealing the client's major criminal facts and filing a lawsuit based on one-sided evidence, will inevitably be subject to key investigation by the judicial bureau and the bar association!

The penalties range from warnings to business suspension.

In severe cases, their licenses may be revoked, completely ruining their careers built up over many years!

Zhou Yan clenched her fists tightly, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Looking around the room, the chain of evidence before him was complete and closed, yet he couldn't find any strong breakthrough!

It seems we have no choice but to accept our fate.

As for the fitness coach with whom Su Wan had an affair, he looked ashen-faced!

He kept his head down, not daring to look up at the judge's bench.

Upon hearing that he was to be handed over to the police for investigation, fear completely overwhelmed him!

At the same time, viewers in the live stream chat were in an uproar.

Wow! Not only did they win the civil lawsuit, they also sent the other party to jail!

[Jiang Chen's move was incredibly shrewd: first filing a civil lawsuit to exert pressure, then immediately applying to transfer the case to the police after verifying criminal leads!]

That despicable couple originally wanted to divide the assets through a lawsuit, but now they're suspected of extortion themselves! They tried to steal a chicken but lost the bait!

Not all plaintiffs are victims; they are the ones who got what they deserved!

[Attorney Zhou is in a difficult position now. He helped his client cover up such a serious matter; he can't escape the subsequent investigation by the Bar Association!]

[Originally thought to be a dismissal of the case, but who would have thought it would escalate into a criminal case? The biggest plot twist of the year!]

On the bench, the presiding judge and the two judges exchanged glances and began to briefly discuss their deliberations in hushed tones.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

"Presiding Judge, Judges!"

"The defendant's lawyer's application is too arbitrary. Based on the existing evidence alone, it is insufficient to establish the existence of extortion. This case should not be hastily transferred to the police!"

If we hand it over to the police, then everything will be over!

His professional career will likely come to an end here.

After this incident, it's already considered kind of the law firm not to distance itself from him!

Before the presiding judge could speak, Jiang Chen turned his head away indifferently.

Whether a crime has been committed shall be determined by the public security authorities through investigation and the procuratorate through review.

"The court only needs to hand over all the leads in accordance with the law!"

"As for the final conclusion, it will be left to the judicial authorities to judge. Our application fully complies with the relevant provisions of civil litigation!"

With just a few casual words, Zhou Yan was once again shut down any room for rebuttal.

Zhou Yan stood frozen in place, unable to refute.

The courtroom was silent for a few seconds.

A moment later, the presiding judge straightened his posture, raised the gavel, and then brought it down heavily.

Boom!

The gavel struck, echoing throughout the courtroom and instantly silencing all other noises.

"This court has concluded its deliberations and will render a ruling in court."

The judge's voice was solemn and clear, and his expression was very serious.

"Upon investigation, it was found that the civil property dispute in this case may have concealed criminal facts of extortion."

"The electronic evidence and chat records submitted by the defendant in court are authentic, legal, and valid, and can preliminarily prove that the two plaintiffs are highly suspected of coercing and extorting huge sums of money by using private videos."

"According to the relevant provisions of China's Civil Procedure Law, the trial of this case must be based on the outcome of the criminal case, and the principle of 'criminal proceedings first, civil proceedings later' must be applied in accordance with the law!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's heart seemed to skip a beat.

Oh no!

Jiang Chen chuckled softly and closed his eyes slightly.

Things are unfolding exactly as he predicted.

The presiding judge's gaze was sharp as he looked at the plaintiffs in the dock.

"The defendant's attorney's application is granted!"

"The ruling is as follows..."

"I. The civil trial of the case between plaintiff Su Wan and defendant Cheng Ye concerning a dispute over marriage, family, and property torts is hereby suspended."

"Second, all case files, notarized videos, chat logs, and leads regarding the individuals involved shall be transferred to the local public security bureau for investigation!"

With just two simple sentences, the entire civil lawsuit was completely transformed into a criminal investigation!

On the plaintiff's side.

Su Wan's body swayed violently, and she slumped completely into the plaintiff's chair.

Her face was ashen, and her eyes were vacant.

She is finished.

It's really over!

She thought she was a victim, a vulnerable party who could use public opinion and lawsuits to divide the property.

Little did he expect that everything he had meticulously planned would ultimately become irrefutable evidence of his alleged criminal offenses!

The ending can be summed up in just four words.

Transferred to the police!

Zhou Yan felt a chill run through his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave!

The moment the ruling was passed, he not only lost the case, but his career was also completely over!

As a practicing lawyer, he assisted his clients in concealing major criminal facts, presenting one-sided evidence, filing false lawsuits, and manipulating public opinion to exert pressure.

With the case transferred to the police and all the truth exposed, the Bar Association and the Bureau of Justice will definitely intervene to investigate.

The revocation of their licenses and the ban on their practice are already a foregone conclusion!

He clenched his teeth tightly, his fingertips trembling uncontrollably.

My heart is filled with resentment and despair, yet I have no way to express it.

He didn't regret it; he just knew he was doomed.
