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

This guy ended up like this because he was too enthusiastic.

Why would he hand someone a knife when they're chopping off their own finger?

They brought this upon themselves.

only……

Who says it's illegal to hand someone a knife when they're chopping off someone else's finger?

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then gave a definite answer and spoke.

"Sir, if the truth is indeed as you tell me, and it was indeed his idea, and you merely played the role of handing over the knife."

"Then I can tell you with absolute certainty that even if the other party takes you to court, you don't need to worry at all."

The boy opposite him couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Really?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Yes, the person in question is a mentally sound adult who voluntarily wanted to cut off his own finger. His friend merely handed him a knife and did not actually cut it, nor did he coerce or encourage him."

"In that case, the friend who handed the knife would not be guilty of intentional assault."

"I absolutely did not touch him!" The boy on the video call was very firm in his stance.

He remains firm on this point.

"Then this has nothing to do with you." Jiang Chen smiled faintly.

"After all, self-harm by adults is not considered a crime, and in this case, there is no principal offender, no accomplice or accessory."

"You are simply providing tools for adults to self-harm, and criminal law usually does not pursue criminal liability."

Now, the boy could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily... I didn't do anything unnecessary at the time!"

"Thank you, Attorney Jiang!"

With just a few words, Jiang Chen helped him resolve a major issue that had been weighing on his mind.

Then, the other party hung up the call.

This kind of thing can be considered a big deal, or it can be considered a small deal.

For someone familiar with the law, they would know from the very beginning that this matter has nothing to do with them.

There's no need to worry about how things will develop afterward.

However, if one only has a superficial understanding of the law, this matter could lead to internal strife.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen also said some other things to the viewers in the live stream.

"Family members, you must never gamble. This stuff can ruin your family and destroy your life."

"If you are in a similar situation and have unfortunately become involved in gambling, do not follow his example and cut off your fingers to prove your innocence."

"After all... losing money gambling and cutting off your finger is pointless; it will only give you a lifelong disability."

"The best solution is to quit gambling!"

If we just stop gambling, wouldn't these problems be easily solved?

The viewers in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.

[I understand, Teacher Fang. It's absolutely impossible for him to get involved with such things!]

I grew up on this land, and I know that gambling and drugs are two things you should never touch!

That's right! I swear I will never forgive gambling and drugs!

[Upstairs, where's Huang?]

I, Huang, swear I will never forgive gambling and drugs!

Hey! You're a fucking genius.

Resist gambling and drugs resolutely; and if you encounter prostitution... show me!

"Alright, alright, I see now, you all possess extraordinary skills!"

After the topic was settled, Jiang Chen continued the live stream.

The next netizen answered quickly.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang, can you hear me?"

The person who answered this time was still a boy.

However, the voice sounded rather young.

She should be in her early twenties.

Jiang Chen nodded: "I can hear you. Do you have a question?"

The other person's voice sounded somewhat suppressed, as if they were trying hard to control their anger.

"Attorney Jiang, I'm very angry right now."

"My girlfriend was almost assaulted!"

Jiang Chen, who had been somewhat calm, immediately became serious upon hearing this.

"Tell me the details of what happened."

Your girlfriend being assaulted is no small matter; it's a criminal case!

In serious cases, it's possible to be convicted of attempted rape.

The boy opposite him took a deep breath and slowly began to explain.

"Attorney Jiang, my girlfriend and I started dating in college and just graduated."

"We went to work together for half a year. Recently, I was away on a business trip for a month, leaving my girlfriend alone in the shared apartment."

"I never expected to encounter something like this..."

"A shared apartment?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Generally speaking, college graduates don't have enough capital to work outside, so they don't choose to live alone and instead find roommates to share an apartment.

However, sharing an apartment with others involves interpersonal interactions, which also carries certain risks.

Upon hearing this, viewers in the live stream immediately began to analyze the situation.

【I know, it must be one of my male roommates!】

[What a jerk! Taking advantage of the girl's boyfriend being away to bully her!]

What does it mean to be almost assaulted? Is there even such a thing as "almost"?

[It probably didn't work out, then they were discovered and arrested.]

I think so.

Sigh... Girls living alone should be extra careful about their safety!

That's right, safety first!

[So at this point, I would suggest that women living alone remember to leave a pair of red embroidered shoes at their door when they return home.]

[Alright, alright, now even the bad guys won't dare go in!]

Was the person who did the attack your roommate?

Jiang Chen spoke up.

"You just mentioned that there was no explicit sexual intercourse."

"But not having sexual intercourse is not the same as whether or not a crime has been committed."

"If the other party's intention is to force sexual intercourse, it can be treated as attempted rape!"

"According to Article 236 of the Criminal Law, the crime of rape is punishable by imprisonment for three to ten years!"

"As for the claim of attempted crime, the legal interpretation is that it is considered attempted because the girl resisted, cried for help, or was interrupted, rather than because the other party had a change of heart and stopped!"

"Even with these consequences, the crime of rape should still be established, but the punishment may be lighter or reduced compared to a completed crime, but imprisonment is still a must!"

Jiang Chen gave a very affirmative answer.

Even if it is unsuccessful, as long as the act is carried out, one will face criminal penalties!

Not only that.

"Moreover, the shared living environment is considered an aggravating factor."

Jiang Chen added a sentence.

"The crime was committed in a shared rented room, which is a private space, making it difficult for the victim to escape. In judicial practice, this is generally considered a serious offense!"

It's clear that Jiang Chen takes this case very seriously.

He could also empathize with the guy opposite him, imagining himself away on a business trip while his girlfriend was being assaulted by her roommate at home.

Anyone would be upset if this happened to them!

If we're ruthless, it's not impossible to deal with it severely.

"Attorney Jiang, although our roommate was the one who started this, the specific circumstances are a bit complicated."

The other person's tone was hesitant, as if there was something they couldn't say.

"And my roommate is a girl."
