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

After the plaintiff's lawyer, Ye Heng, took his seat, the courtroom returned to a solemn atmosphere.

Judge Wu Song's gaze returned to the defendant's dock, his voice steady and powerful.

"Defendant Dong Xin, the plaintiff just accused you of negligent homicide and demanded criminal punishment and civil compensation in court."

Do you agree with the charges against you?

As soon as the question was asked, all eyes in the room immediately focused on Dong Xin.

The chat in the live stream froze for a moment as countless netizens held their breath, waiting for his reply.

Dong Xin did not speak immediately.

His gaze unconsciously shifted to the side, and he exchanged a brief glance with Jiang Chen beside him.

They exchanged glances for a mere second, without exchanging a single word.

Jiang Chen's eyes remained calm as he nodded slightly.

Now Dong Xin felt confident and straightened his back instantly.

"Your Honor, I plead not guilty!"

His voice was clear and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Everything I did that night was to protect my pregnant wife and get rid of the perpetrators' malicious harassment and stalking. I never intended to hurt anyone!"

These words are a clean and decisive denial of the harmful behavior!

Ye Heng, who had just sat down in the plaintiff's seat, frowned slightly.

Clearly, Dong Xin's answer was beyond his expectations.

If Dong Xin were to offer a hasty and ambiguous explanation...

Or, if you blurt out that you didn't have time to react or didn't see the other person's actions, it will indirectly confirm that you were negligent or made a subjective mistake, and you will fall directly into the trap he set!

But this answer is logically clear and purposeful.

It's a perfectly pre-designed, standard answer!

This one sentence completely blocked his attempt to convict the defendant based on the defendant's panic on the spot!

Ye Heng pondered to himself.

It seems that Jiang Chen's pre-trial preparations were far more thorough than he had imagined!

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

[This answer is surprisingly calm and collected; it doesn't sound like something someone who's been detained for several days would say!]

[It's obvious that Attorney Jiang gave them prior instruction; every sentence hit the key points!]

[If you say you didn't react in time, it's just a mistake on your part. But now it's being portrayed as an act of self-defense to protect your wife, which completely changes the nature of the situation!]

This is crucial! It completely absolves them of any subjective fault!

I was worried the defendant would be nervous and say the wrong thing, but now I'm completely relieved!

In the audience, a group of law enthusiasts nodded in agreement.

Don't underestimate this simple denial; it directly reversed the passive situation at the beginning of the trial!

Seeing this, the presiding judge remained calm and proceeded with the trial according to regulations.

"This case has entered the court questioning stage."

"The plaintiff's representative, defense counsel, and prosecutor shall question the defendant in turn, and leading questions are strictly prohibited. The facts of the case shall be verified truthfully."

"First, let the plaintiff's representative ask the questions."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Heng stood up.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

Since the on-the-spot trap has failed, let's take the initiative!

By applying pressure layer by layer, you can force out a flaw!

He couldn't believe that Dong Xin had such a strong mental fortitude!

He stared at Dong Xin and spoke in a questioning tone.

"Defendant, you claimed in court that you were acting to protect your wife and avoid harassment."

"Since you observed someone lunging at the vehicle ahead and knew that continuing would result in a collision, why didn't you apply the brakes immediately?"

"The impact of your vehicle was extremely powerful, directly causing severe internal organ rupture and injuries to the victim. Was this due to your impulsive emotions at the time, and your deliberate act of driving into the other party?"

The two questions pressed on relentlessly, each word piercing the heart!

The entire room fell silent instantly, all eyes fixed on Dong Xin, holding their breath in concentration.

Everyone could tell that these two questions were highly purposeful!

The first question is to confirm that Dong Xin made operational errors and mishandled the situation!

The second issue goes even further, directly attempting to label it as a deliberate act of collision, completely destroying any possibility of legitimate self-defense!

If Dong Xin's answer is off, the entire defense will collapse instantly!

Guo Ting sat to the side, swallowing nervously.

Looking at Dong Xin, he remained calm and composed in the face of the aggressive questioning, answering silently with his head down.

"I didn't deliberately offend anyone, and I wasn't acting on impulse."

"That night, I was driving and about to park when the road ahead was completely blocked by those three drunk men!"

"They repeatedly surrounded my vehicle, frantically pulling at the doors, violently smashing the windows, and continuously blocking my escape route!"

"My wife was pregnant at the time and was terrified by their extreme behavior; her health was in very poor condition!"

"I tried to be tolerant and give way the whole time, but after many unsuccessful attempts to persuade them, I was forced into a corner with no other option but to drive slowly and try to escape the encirclement!"

Dong Xin lowered his head, his voice muffled, making it impossible to discern the emotion in his words.

In fact, when he said those words, it sounded like he was reciting a prepared script!

It's as if... he had already thought of these words in advance!

Ye Heng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently clenched his fist.

This lawsuit seems to be more complicated than he imagined!

"I drove at a very slow speed the whole time, with the sole purpose of avoiding danger and getting away."

"The victim wasn't someone I drove towards; rather, in the instant I subtly adjusted my direction to avoid him, he deliberately threw himself onto the front of the car!"

"The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, completely beyond my expectations. I had absolutely no time to react or brake!"

Dong Xin's words were clear, logical, and well-structured!

It fully recounts the dangerous situation he was in, explaining that he was forced to take risks while the other party deliberately put themselves in danger!

What's most terrifying is that there wasn't a single superfluous explanation, not even a trace of emotional weakness!

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded.

During a court hearing, emotions are paramount.

A calm person, and a hysterical person.

The presiding judge prefers to listen to a calm person speak.

This is also a trial strategy.

But Ye Heng's expression darkened completely.

His carefully crafted leading questions were completely neutralized by the other party's watertight answers!

The live stream chat instantly went wild!

[Brilliant! Perfectly avoided all the traps!]

He was forced into this situation the whole time. His initial speed was slow, and the other car deliberately lurched forward, making it impossible for him to brake!

This answer was crucial; it completely refuted all accusations of operational error and intentional collision!

[Attorney Ye's tactics failed completely; this is awkward!]

[As expected, it was a pre-prepared script, incredibly solid, without a single flaw!]

[So, don't sue Attorney Jiang; he's incredibly well-prepared!]

The defendant's cooperation is also important; if they don't cooperate, no amount of preparation will help!

Unable to extract any usable testimony from Dong Xin, Ye Heng looked displeased and sat down dejectedly.

Judge Wu Song turned his gaze to Jiang Chen beside him.

"The defendant's attorney may question the defendant in court!"
