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

Jiang Chen smiled at the live stream camera, his tone calm and confident.

"Alright, that concludes today's legal education session."

"The preparations for the second trial have been fully completed, and the military legal aid team has polished all the details, so I don't need to worry too much."

"Don't worry, everyone, the second trial will only be more secure than the first!"

"Justice will not be absent, and those who bully the families of martyrs will absolutely not escape justice!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat was flooded with comments like "Looking forward to the second trial" and "Waiting for the other side to fail."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, ending the day's live stream.

Over the next few days, both sides were making preparations in full swing.

After several twists and turns, Shengbang Group finally managed to poach a team of lawyers from another province who specialize in major criminal cases.

After paying exorbitant legal fees, the opposing party agreed to do everything possible to get the case sent back for retrial.

Meanwhile, the army is providing assistance.

Jiang Chen and three military legal aid lawyers held three pre-trial conferences, anticipating all possible defense angles from the opposing side and filling in the gaps in the evidence chain.

Soon, the day for the second trial arrived.

At 7:00 AM, at the main entrance of the Provincial Higher People's Court.

Jiang Chen, dressed in a well-fitting black suit, walked slowly over, holding his phone.

He livestreamed the entire journey, updating viewers on his progress.

Chen Qiaowei turned down other commitments and came to the second trial with Jiang Chen.

However, she had to sit in the audience section.

Chen Qiaowei carried the extra files and walked behind Jiang Chen.

"Family members, the second trial is about to begin, and the official broadcast will be streamed live across the entire network shortly."

"Just you wait and see, evil will eventually be brought to justice!"

The viewers in the live stream were also very excited.

[It's finally starting! I've been looking forward to it for days!]

[Tsk tsk tsk... I didn't expect them to actually find a defense legal team, and someone actually dared to take the case!]

[After all, it's a large corporation, and they're making a big move; there are quite a few people who are after their money!]

[If you're capable of taking this money, you also need to be capable of spending it!]

[I think even if they accept the offer, it doesn't necessarily mean they can win. Attorney Jiang's team is too strong!]

That's true! It's a guaranteed win, but not a guaranteed loss. So, losing is perfectly normal, right?

Jiang Chen smiled faintly as he looked at the comments from netizens.

"No matter who's on the other side, once this second trial is over, even Jesus couldn't stop the defendant. I'm telling you!"

Jiang Chen deliberately made a joke here, which drew laughter from the viewers in the live stream.

Just as they turned the corner, their steps suddenly faltered.

"Huh?"

Chen Qiaowei stopped in her tracks, staring ahead, frozen in place.

Two rows of soldiers in army uniforms stood neatly lined up beside the square in front of the courthouse.

They all stood upright and motionless, like two rows of rooted poplars.

Chen Xiangdong, who was standing at the head of the group, was dressed in civilian clothes, but he could not hide his tough military aura.

Upon seeing this, the live stream chat exploded.

【Holy crap! What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers?】

[This is quite a spectacle! Are they lined up to show off?]

[My God, I got goosebumps instantly! Is this how they show support for the families of martyrs?!]

[I think you did a great job. The victim has already suffered so much injustice; they deserve some respect!]

[As expected of the Chinese Army, I love how protective they are of their own!]

Jiang Chen strode over and greeted him with a smile, "Director Chen, good morning."

"This is……"

Chen Xiangdong turned around, his expression solemn: "Attorney Jiang is here."

"These are all soldiers from the stationed troops. They heard about the martyr's daughter and volunteered to come and listen to the proceedings!"

"Of course, I'm using my own vacation time, so it won't interfere with my daily tasks."

Jiang Chen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Clearly, they're just here to put on a show!

As soon as he finished speaking, a young officer with the rank of captain at the front of the line stepped forward quickly and gave a standard military salute.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang, I am Zhao Lei, Captain of a border defense company!"

His voice was loud and clear, and his eyes held an undisguised indignation.

"That martyr was my old squad leader back then, and he was the one who brought me into the army."

"I heard my sister-in-law passed away, and my niece was bullied like this. All the brothers in our company are furious!"

"I came here today because I want to see with my own eyes how those who do evil will receive the punishment they deserve!"

Jiang Chen nodded solemnly in return, "Thank you all for your hard work."

"We will give a perfect explanation in court later!"

Viewers in the live stream were almost moved to tears by this scene.

[We've broken down... The veteran sergeant's daughter was bullied, and his comrades have all come to her aid!]

This is so heartbreaking. The hero is gone, but his comrades are still here, and so is our nation!

[Now the other side is truly in trouble. Let's see how they try to argue now, with so many People's Liberation Army soldiers in front of them!]

[This kind of situation, if I were the defendant, my legs would go weak!]

As they were talking, the deep sound of a police siren came from afar.

A police car carrying the defendant slowly pulled up at the side gate of the courthouse.

The bailiffs opened the car door, and Pei Yanzhou, who was handcuffed, was escorted out.

He's been in the detention center these past few days, and he's lost a lot of weight.

His face was deathly pale, and his hair was a mess; he was no longer the arrogant rich kid he once was.

As soon as he got out of the car and looked up, he bumped into the army soldiers lined up neatly at the edge of the square. He stopped abruptly, and his face instantly drained of color.

Those two rows of straight figures looked like two heavy mountains pressing down on us.

The pressure made his heart pound wildly, and even his breathing became labored!

He didn't understand.

It's just a regular sexual assault case, how did it escalate to the point that the military got involved?

Jiang Chen held up his phone, the camera following his gaze, his tone indifferent.

"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you all."

He raised his hand and pointed to Pei Yanzhou, whose face was deathly pale, not far away.

"That's the perpetrator in this case."

In short, it may seem simple, but it's very useful!

The soldiers in formation turned their heads in unison instantly.

Several angry gazes were fixed on Pei Yanzhou!

Those were eyes forged in the crucible of years spent on the border, eyes that carried an iron will!

It's as cold as ice!

Pei Yanzhou trembled as he was stared at by a group of people.

My legs went weak and I almost collapsed to the ground. I was only saved from falling because the bailiff next to me supported me!

Upon seeing this, the live stream chat erupted in laughter.

[Hahahaha... Jiang Chen, are you a devil?!]

This is a devastating blow, a true psychological attack!

[Pei Yanzhou: I fucking thank you! Did you really have to make everyone stare at me?!]

[Hilarious! I was already panicked, and then being stared at by dozens of soldiers made me completely cower!]

[I absolutely love Attorney Jiang's cunning! She crushes her opponent with her sheer presence!]

[The trial hasn't even started yet, and the defendant is already on edge; they've won the second instance!]

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze, a faint smile playing on his lips.

With our side gaining an initial advantage in momentum, the subsequent court debate will be much easier!

He turned to look at Chen Xiangdong and Zhao Lei, and nodded slightly.

"Gentlemen, get ready to leave. Court time is approaching!"
