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

"Attorney Jiang, I advise you to quit while you're ahead."

"You saw it with your own eyes today: the case you wanted to file couldn't be filed, and the matter you wanted to investigate couldn't be investigated."

"Some truths are not for lawyers like you to uncover."

"Taking the money and leaving is your only outcome now!"

Inside the office, the air seemed to gradually solidify.

Fu Chengyu leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

The threat in his words was almost undisguised.

With these two million in stakes, plus a bit of pressure, he was certain that Jiang Chen would weigh the pros and cons and back down.

So what if I've handled so many cases before?

Isn't Jiang Chen's job all about money?

As long as the money is right, what can't be done?

Jiang Chen remained leaning back in his office chair, his expression calm.

There was no trace of panic on his face.

Jiang Chen chuckled in response to Fu Chengyu's threat.

"Attorney Fu, there's something you'd better understand."

"From the moment I took on Mr. Zhou Zhenhai's case, no one but myself could make me stop halfway."

"Neither monetary bribes nor pressure through personal connections will work, and verbal threats... are even less likely."

Jiang Chen's answer was clearly unexpected by Fu Chengyu.

He raised an eyebrow and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"Attorney Jiang, don't speak too definitively."

"Some obstacles cannot be overcome by enthusiasm alone."

Fu Chengyu sat up straight, his tone still arrogant.

"You should have a good understanding of the results from the Criminal Investigation Division today."

"If you stubbornly persist, you'll only ruin your future in vain; it's not worth it!"

"So what?" Jiang Chen replied calmly, "That doesn't mean I'll back down."

"The obstruction of filing a case only means that this path is temporarily blocked; it does not mean that the truth can be buried forever!"

"Are you determined to fight Anze Nursing Home to the bitter end?" Fu Chengyu's tone grew even colder.

"It's not that I insist on fighting to the death," Jiang Chen said slowly, leaning back slightly.

"It was the nursing home that did this, so they should pay the price."

"Two million? You want to buy the lives of those old people?"

"Attorney Fu, don't you think this price is too cheap?"

"Besides... the fact that you're willing to pay me two million to drop the case means I've hit your sore spot, right?"

A single sentence was uttered.

Fu Chengyu's composed demeanor suddenly froze.

His prepared arguments for applying pressure suddenly became stuck in his throat.

He originally thought that he could easily intimidate Jiang Chen by relying on his resources and connections.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen not only did not back down in the slightest, but instead pressed his advantage!

Fu Chengyu took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Jiang Chen, you're cutting off your own escape route."

"By the time you've hit your head and are bleeding, there won't be a chance to turn back!" Fu Chengyu continued to threaten.

"I don't need anyone to leave me a way out," Jiang Chen replied calmly. "I'll walk my own path."

"This settlement negotiation ends here. If you just want to settle things with money, then you can go back now."

The order to leave has been clearly given.

Fu Chengyu stared intently at Jiang Chen for several seconds, his chest already brimming with furious anger.

However, due to his status, he couldn't afford to lose his temper and break off relations on the spot.

Fu Chengyu slowly stood up, straightened his suit, and his expression was not good.

"Good, very good!"

He said "okay" twice in a row, "Since Attorney Jiang insists, then we'll see you in court."

"I hope you won't regret the decision you made today!"

Even at the very end, Fu Chengyu still didn't forget to threaten Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen chuckled.

This person... isn't he being way too reckless?

After Fu Chengyu left the office, the room finally quieted down.

A moment later, Chen Qiaowei pushed open the door and walked in.

Her face was full of worry as she quickly walked to her desk.

"How did the talk go? He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Jiang Chen picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip of warm water, and slowly put it down.

"He offered me two million in hush money to drop the investigation into the Anze nursing home case, but I refused."

"Before leaving, he gave me a few warnings."

"Two million!" Chen Qiaowei gasped, then a surge of anger welled up inside her. "They really dare to ask for that! They think they can settle everything with a sum of money!"

While angry, Chen Qiaowei also began to worry.

"But... Gao Jianming has been established in this area for so long, with a vast and intricate network of connections. Even reporting a criminal case to the police has been blocked. What should we do next?"

"Their power is simply too great. Wouldn't we be too passive if we confront them head-on?"

Keep in mind that they are currently just a small law firm.

The only thing that could be considered worth paying attention to was Jiang Chen's fame.

Seeing her worried expression, Jiang Chen smiled calmly.

"It is precisely because the other party has deep local influence that we cannot continue to deal with him using conventional methods."

A hint of doubt appeared in Chen Qiaowei's eyes: "Then do we have any other ideas?"

"Of course," Jiang Chen said confidently, "I have a better way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen sat up straight, turned on the live streaming companion on his computer, and adjusted the camera and microphone.

Chen Qiaowei was not in the frame; instead, she watched what he was doing from the side.

Once the live stream was launched, many people rushed into the room within just a few minutes.

Jiang Chen has recently handled a series of high-profile cases, accumulating a large number of loyal fans.

Adding to the fact that he was just trending on the internet with a massive smear campaign, countless netizens are waiting for him to respond.

The live stream chat was scrolling by at lightning speed!

[Attorney Jiang is finally going live! How's the case at Anze Nursing Home going?]

[Is it true that you deliberately tried to extort money from a nursing home?]

[It's definitely fake. Don't we know what kind of person Attorney Jiang is?]

What's the deal with all this negative information online?

[Attorney Jiang, please come out and explain what's going on on the trending topics!]

The barrage of comments included numerous organized troll accounts.

They also set the pace in the live stream.

Fortunately, there were also many fans who supported Jiang Chen, and they passionately exchanged insults with these online trolls.

[I told you long ago, he's just doing this for clicks and publicity! Now he's too scared to say anything!]

[They'd even spread rumors about a nursing home just to get attention; they have no bottom line!]

Don't spread rumors! Don't smear Lawyer Jiang without evidence!

We are willing to believe Jiang Chen and await the truth!

Inside the live stream, netizens from both sides exchanged barrages of comments, creating a noisy atmosphere.

In front of the camera, Jiang Chen looked at the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen with a gentle smile on his face.

"Good evening, everyone. Tonight's broadcast is about the Anze Nursing Home case. I have already obtained some clues from the investigation."

"I'd like to share some clues with you all here and see what your thoughts are."
