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

After Jiang Chen finished reading his five claims, the courtroom was silent for a few seconds.

In the dock, the smile on Chen Yongchang's face slowly disappeared.

He turned his head closer to Fang Yuan and lowered his voice: "Attorney Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Yuan did not answer immediately.

His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Chen, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Han Zhengming leaned closer, his tone tinged with unease: "Attorney Fang, he even wrote about deceiving the inspection team in his statement. He's trying to escalate the situation!"

"What if we lose the case..."

At this moment, Fang Yuan finally withdrew his gaze.

He opened the notebook and lowered his voice.

"Without evidence, no matter how much he talks, it won't make a difference."

"You made preparations in advance, and the surveillance footage was formatted. Although it was restored, that only proves that Lin Xuyang was taken to the infirmary, not that he was illegally detained."

"As for fraudulently obtaining student grants and deceiving the inspection team... he can't produce any solid evidence!"

He paused for a moment, then glanced at Chen Yongchang.

"Principal, don't worry."

"He can't win this case!"

These words were like a reassurance to him.

Chen Yongchang's expression relaxed slightly, and he nodded.

Zhou Haibo listened from the side, but the anxiety on his face did not lessen much.

Fang Yuan closed his notebook, then suddenly turned his head and looked directly at the plaintiff's seat.

"Attorney Jiang."

"Your claims are indeed very well-founded, but I must remind you that a lawsuit without supporting evidence is a sham lawsuit!"

"You listed five points, and each one needs supporting evidence!"

"If you can't produce it, not only will you lose the case, but your client will also bear the corresponding legal consequences!"

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if a senior were instructing a junior.

"I mean well, I'm advising you to think it through..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the courtroom subtly changed.

In the audience, some people were whispering among themselves.

The chat in the official live stream room also started scrolling.

Is Fang Yuan putting pressure on us?

[Yes, that's right! There's a reason for so many lawsuits. Even when you're in the wrong, you need to stand up for yourself!]

What he said makes sense; without evidence, it's indeed impossible...

What evidence does Jiang Chen have? Can surveillance footage prove illegal detention?

It's hard to say...

After listening to Fang Yuan's words, Jiang Chen was neither angry nor anxious.

He slowly raised his hand and looked at the presiding judge.

"presiding judge."

Presiding Judge Zhang Zhengyang looked at him: "Plaintiff's lawyer, please speak."

Jiang Chen stood up and pointed to Fang Yuan in the defendant's seat.

"The defendant's lawyer, without the presiding judge's permission, made comments on the plaintiff's claims in court and attacked and threatened us with accusations of false litigation."

"According to court rules, participants in the proceedings must obtain permission from the presiding judge to speak and must not unduly interfere with the opposing party!"

"I request the presiding judge to stop the defendant's lawyer's inappropriate behavior and, in accordance with court rules, to issue him a warning."

"If the violations continue, we request that he be ordered to resign!"

The courtroom fell silent instantly upon hearing this.

Everyone was stunned.

In the audience, someone gasped.

Fang Yuan's smile froze on his face.

This was the first time in his 23 years as a lawyer that he had been publicly denounced by his opponent in court.

What does that mean?

He only said two sentences, and he thinks he can get himself out of court?

You fucking... how come you still have the tricks of an old litigator!

The chat in the official live stream exploded:

[Holy crap???]

[Hahaha... Jiang Chen reported directly to the presiding judge?!]

That's an incredibly fast reaction time!

His explanation just now was so professional; it sounded logical and well-founded!

[If you don't understand, ask him: Has he memorized court rules?]

[Of course he's a lawyer! He's definitely familiar with court rules!]

[No... the point is, his actions completely disrupted Fang Yuan's momentum!]

Good heavens, this isn't the work of a newbie, it's like the work of a seasoned lawyer!

Fang Yuan's expression changed completely, hahaha!

[I didn't realize Jiang Chen was so commanding in court!]

Judge Zhang Zhengyang remained silent for two seconds, his gaze sweeping between the two men.

"Defendant's representative".

He looked at Fang Yuan and said in a serious tone, "No offensive remarks may be made against the other party without permission."

"This is a verbal warning. If the offense recurs, it will be dealt with according to the law!"

Fang Yuan's expression returned to calm, and he gritted his teeth: "Yes, Your Honor."

His eyes held a hint of anger.

A newcomer, and he's already resorting to legal means in front of him?

He wanted to show Jiang Chen what a seasoned lawyer really was!

In the dock, Chen Yongchang's smile vanished completely.

He frowned as he looked at Fang Yuan, and clicked his tongue.

If Fang Yuan is asked to leave the meeting, then no one will help them gather evidence to fight back.

Jiang Chen's move... was truly insidious!

Han Zhengming's expression was also grim. He leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Attorney Fang..."

Fang Yuan didn't look at them, but simply turned his head slightly and lowered his voice:

"It's alright, don't worry..."

"He's just being unreasonable and trying to disrupt my rhythm with a programming problem!"

He paused, his tone gradually turning cold.

"Hmph... If he can't produce any evidence, relying on such petty tricks will only get him himself into trouble in the end!"

His legal claims are indeed intimidating.

However, these lawsuits also require solid evidence!

If it's a sham lawsuit, Jiang Chen will be the one who suffers!

Chen Yongchang and Han Zhengming exchanged a glance, nodded, and said nothing more.

Judge Zhang Zhengyang's gaze fell on Jiang Chen.

"Plaintiff's representative."

"Before we move on to the next stage, this court needs to confirm one thing with you."

His tone was very serious.

"According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, if a party or their lawyer engages in fraudulent litigation and wastes judicial resources, the court may pursue their liability in accordance with the law, including but not limited to fines and detention. In serious cases, the case may be transferred to the public security organs for handling."

"Each of the five claims you just made requires sufficient evidence to support it."

Are you sure... you want to stick to these claims?

All eyes in the courtroom were on Jiang Chen.

Lin Xuyang's hands trembled slightly as he glanced at him with concern.

If they lose the case, not only Jiang Chen will have to pay the price, but he will too!

Jiang Chen stood in the plaintiff's seat and nodded without any hesitation.

"presiding judge."

"Our argument is well-founded, our chain of evidence is complete, and every piece of evidence can withstand scrutiny!"

"I stand by all my claims."

"Absolutely no changes!"

Jiang Chen's tone was very serious, not at all like he was joking.

Judge Zhang Zhengyang looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Thump."

The gavel fell.

"Now, the defendant will present their response and legal claims!"
