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

Zhou Haibo stood there, his face a mixture of pale and ashen.

I never expected Jiang Chen to have such a big appetite!

He wanted to sue not only himself.

Starting with Zhao Tianyu, then with him, then with the dean, and even the principal!

Four people, none of them can escape!

Wang Anquan looked at Jiang Chen with surprise, his brows and eyes gradually relaxing.

It seems he really has some guts.

As for his abilities, we'll have to wait and see in the upcoming court proceedings.

"Teacher Zhou, you'd better watch yourself."

Wang Anquan left those words behind and led his group out of the isolation room.

The footsteps faded into the distance, and the corridor fell silent.

Zhou Haibo leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to the ground, his back covered in cold sweat.

He took out his phone and dialed a number with trembling fingers.

It rang three times before being answered.

"Feed?"

A steady, middle-aged male voice came from the other end of the phone.

It was Han Zhengming, the dean of the School of Law at Dongning Normal University and the director of the scholarship review committee.

"Dean Han... Dean Han." Zhou Haibo's voice trembled.

"Something's happened!"

"What is it? Tell me slowly."

"It's about Lin Xuyang, it's gotten out of hand..."

Zhou Haibo told him everything that had just happened.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, Han Zhengming's voice was very calm, even carrying a hint of disdain.

"Hmph... Sue us? You've got quite the nerve!"

"Does he think the courthouse is his personal property?"

He paused for a moment, as if he had seen through the essence of the matter.

"Haibo, don't panic. A washed-up celebrity, relying on a little online traffic to hype himself up, really think he can turn the world upside down?"

"I'll go to the principal's office later and discuss it with him."

"The school has fought many lawsuits like this, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Meanwhile, at the school gate.

Lin Xuyang got into the back seat of the police car.

Wang Anquan glanced back at the school gate and said to Jiang Chen, "I'll take you to the hotel first. The police station will open a case and investigate this."

"You can't escape the charge of illegal detention!"

They will not stand idly by when they discover criminal activity within the school in front of numerous netizens.

"Thank you, Captain Wang." Jiang Chen nodded.

As for Lin Xuyang's resettlement, Jiang Chen has already made up his mind.

During this time, he certainly cannot live at the school.

Jiang Chen decided to keep him by her side, and they also stayed at the hotel.

After all... we still need his help to obtain some evidence!

The matter has come to an end, and the viewers in the live stream are in an uproar.

Jiang Chen is so handsome! I've never thought he was this handsome before!

[The counselor was so angry she turned green, hahaha!]

So, the next step is litigation? Is it really possible to win?

[Our school hasn't lost in years, we're starting to panic...]

What's the panic? When have you ever seen Jiang Chen lose?

[Oh yeah... but he's never been to court before! This is his first time!]

That's why! Nobody's ever seen him lose! His losing rate is zero!

Trust Brother Jiang, and you will gain eternal life!

Seeing these comments, Jiang Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he turned off the live stream.

He's not in the mood to look at these things right now.

The most urgent task is to search for clues in the case.

It was already 8 p.m. when we got back to the hotel.

in the room.

Lin Xuyang took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the sofa, his complexion having improved somewhat.

Lin Wan sat next to him.

Jiang Chen took out his laptop from his backpack and sat down at his desk.

"I'll briefly explain what I'm going to do next."

Jiang Chen's tone was very serious.

"First, collect a complete chain of evidence."

"The surveillance footage, your statement, the hospital medical examination certificate, and the statements made by Zhou Haibo and the security guards—all of these must be compiled into legal documents."

"Second, draft the indictment. There are four defendants: Zhao Tianyu, Zhou Haibo, Han Zhengming, and your principal Chen Yongchang."

"Third, file a lawsuit in court and request a public hearing!"

He paused, then turned to look at Lin Xuyang.

"Can you handle it?"

This is not a simple process.

Lin Xuyang nodded vigorously.

"able!"

"good……"

Jiang Chen turned around and started typing on the keyboard.

That evening, a lawyer's letter was sent out.

Jiang Chen signed the autograph, took a photo, and posted it on his Weibo profile.

The caption was only one sentence.

"The Dongning Teachers' College student aid embezzlement case involves four defendants. See you in court in a week!"

This news spread like wildfire across the entire internet!

For the next few days, it trended on social media like it was free.

#Jiang Chen formally sues Dongning Teachers College!#

#Jiang Chen livestreams his lawsuit, starting with one against four!#

#……#

This issue is being discussed on almost all major social media platforms, with netizens' opinions being polarized.

Support Jiang Chen! This kind of shady dealing should have been addressed long ago!

[A disgraced celebrity, does he really think he's a champion of justice?]

[They have a lawyer's license and graduated from a 211 law school, so why can't we do anything about it?]

Having a license doesn't guarantee you'll win a lawsuit! The school hasn't lost a case in all these years, do you think that's just bragging?

[That's because no one dared to sue before! Now that someone has stood up, you not only don't support them, but you're also pouring cold water on their efforts?]

[I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but I think he's just creating hype. Lawsuits don't happen that quickly! A week from now? Are you kidding me?]

[Are you ignorant about the law? The time limit for presenting evidence in civil litigation is negotiable. As long as both parties agree, a court hearing within a week is entirely possible!]

No matter what, I stand with Jiang Chen.

【I'm on his side too! Even if he loses, he's still a million times better than those who can only type on keyboards!】

Under each post, netizens were arguing fiercely.

But one thing is certain.

The entire internet is waiting for a week later!

……

A week is neither a long nor a short time.

These days, Jiang Chen has hardly left his hotel room except for necessary outings.

Organizing evidence, drafting legal documents, communicating with the police about the case...

There are many things to keep me busy with.

Lin Wan shuttled back and forth between the school and the hotel, helping Lin Xuyang with leave procedures and photocopying materials.

Jiang Chen also slowly collected some previously unknown evidence.

One week later, early morning.

The entrance to the Dongning Intermediate People's Court was already crowded with people.

Reporters, social media users, ordinary citizens, and netizens who came from other places blocked the entrance to the courthouse.

Jiang Chen, dressed in a black suit, got out of the taxi with a formal and serious expression.

Lin Wan and Lin Xuyang followed behind him, their hands trembling with nervousness.

"take it easy."

Jiang Chen turned around, glanced at them, and smiled.

"Just say what you normally say in front of me!"

Sometimes, being too nervous can even affect their performance.

Lin Xuyang took a deep breath and nodded.

Outside the courthouse, multiple platforms have already set up live streaming equipment.

As for the court officials, they also granted Jiang Chen's request for an open court hearing.

There's an official live stream recording the facts!

[Here he comes! Jiang Chen is here!]

Holy crap? He actually looks quite handsome in a suit!

【Of course, they were idol trainees back in the day!】

[Can we win today? I'm so nervous!]

I wonder what kind of lawyer the school hired...

[He's definitely not a nice guy!]

Just then, a black sedan pulled up in front of the courthouse.

The car door opened, and a man in his fifties stepped out. His hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a sharp dark gray suit, and he was carrying a briefcase.

Behind him were Zhou Haibo, Han Zhengming, and others.

Upon seeing this middle-aged man, the live chat exploded!

Wait! That person... I know him!

That's Fang Yuan! Lawyer Fang Yuan!

[Holy crap? It really is Fang Yuan? One of the best civil litigation lawyers in Jianghuai Province?]

[Let me check... Fang Yuan, with 23 years of experience, a 93% success rate, and has represented seven universities in lawsuits, all of which were won!]

[Ninety-three percent? And a perfect record? That's terrifying data!]

[Oh no, oh no, oh no! The school has invited Fang Yuan! What will Jiang Chen do?]

Don't panic! Jiang Chen is a lawyer, and Fang Yuan is a lawyer too. We're both lawyers, so who's afraid of whom?

The problem is the huge difference in experience; it's like a complete game-changer!
