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

Fang Yuan fell silent.

He didn't respond, nor did he dare to.

His academic record, ranking first in his major, felt like a mountain, making it hard for him to breathe.

Jiang Chen didn't give him a chance to catch his breath and took out another document from his briefcase.

"Your Honor, we will continue to present our evidence."

His voice returned to calm.

"These are the defendant Zhao Tianyu's actual spending records."

The bailiff took one of the documents and handed it to the judge's bench.

Jiang Chen smiled, his tone unhurried.

"The defendant previously presented Zhao Tianyu's spending records, which showed that he spent an average of 1,500 yuan per month and did not have any large expenditures, which is indeed true."

"But that's only part of the truth."

He paused, his gaze falling on Zhao Tianyu.

Zhao Tianyu lowered his head, his body still trembling slightly.

"However, Zhao Tianyu has three bank cards under his name."

"One of them is in his own name. His monthly living expenses are transferred from his parents, and the amount is controlled at around 1,500 yuan. It is the one that the defendant showed."

"The other two are supplementary cards for his parents, with shared credit limits and no restrictions."

Jiang Chen opened the backup file and displayed it page by page.

"This is Zhao Tianyu's actual spending record over the past three months."

"On October 15th, I spent 12,000 yuan on a new mobile phone from a certain brand."

"On October 20th, I spent 8,000 yuan on brand-name clothing and shoes."

"On November 5th, I spent 35,000 yuan on a high-end e-sports device."

"On November 18th, I spent 21,000 yuan on hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues."

"..."

Jiang Chen stopped after reading only a few lines.

These facts speak for themselves!

"The defendant selectively omitted these consumption records when presenting evidence."

Jiang Chen added.

The courtroom fell silent.

In the audience, some people couldn't help but gasp.

The live stream chat exploded with comments!

A new phone costing 12,000? Clothes costing 8,000? Gaming equipment costing 35,000?

[This is what you call an average monthly expenditure of 1,500? They have no shame!]

Selective omission? That's perjury!

[Dare to lie in court? Does he have a death wish?]

[The key point is that Zhao Tianyu's parents were so cooperative? Did the whole family conspire to defraud student aid?]

How utterly despicable is this family!

The judge frowned.

He flipped through the stack of spending records, looking at each page with an increasingly serious expression.

Fang Yuan's face turned pale and then green, and his lips trembled slightly.

Jiang Chen continued to flip through another document.

"In addition, regarding Zhao Tianyu's BMW, the defendant claimed during the pre-trial mediation that it was borrowed from a relative."

"However, according to the vehicle registration information and bank statements we obtained, the down payment and monthly payments for this BMW sedan both came from Zhao Tianyu's father's account."

"Furthermore, this car was purchased in full and registered under Zhao Tianyu's name; it wasn't borrowed, but bought!"

Jiang Chen put down the documents and glanced at the defendant's seat.

"Therefore, the true situation of the defendant Zhao Tianyu is that he drives a BMW and spends tens of thousands of yuan per month."

"And a truly impoverished student, registered in the national poverty alleviation system, earned money by working to buy a mobile phone and proved himself by achieving the top score in his major."

"Then, the guy driving the BMW stole the student grant from the guy who was working part-time."

"Defendant's lawyer, do you think this is fair?"

Fang Yuan opened his mouth, his expression filled with disbelief.

"Where did you get this evidence from?!"

Jiang Chen glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Legal channels".

He offered no further explanation.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments again.

How did Jiang Chen uncover this evidence? He's amazing!

Bank statements, supplementary card records, vehicle registration information—these are things that ordinary people simply can't get their hands on!

Jiang Chen could become a detective; his investigative abilities are terrifying!

[It doesn't matter how you got it, as long as it's real!]

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

In the current situation, we must not panic or lose our composure!

"Your Honor, we object to the relevance of the purchase records presented by the plaintiff!"

His voice trembled slightly.

"These spending records come from Zhao Tianyu's parents' accounts and are not directly related to Zhao Tianyu's application for poverty alleviation status!"

"It's normal for parents to spend money on their children."

"As for BMW cars... the criteria for determining family assets and eligibility for poverty status vary from university to university, so they cannot be generalized."

He spoke faster and faster, and found a reason.

"Furthermore, the plaintiff's representative just said that Lin Xuyang has the right to enjoy a normal life, and we agree with this view."

"Then, for the same reason, Zhao Tianyu also has the right to enjoy a normal life!"

"He uses his parents' money to spend and drives a car his parents bought; that's his personal freedom!"

Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to deal with Fang Yuan's sophistry; instead, he sneered.

He only spoke slowly after Fang Yuan finished speaking.

"The defendant's lawyer is right. The criteria for awarding scholarships should take into account the student's own financial situation."

"But Zhao Tianyu himself has no source of income; all his expenses come from his parents."

"If his parents have money to spend, his personal financial situation should not be considered as impoverished. This is a logical loop, and the defendant's lawyer has gotten himself into a trap."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuan's face paled even further.

Jiang Chen did not stop.

He opened the file again.

"Your Honor, we have one last piece of evidence."

"These are Zhao Tianyu's academic transcripts and attendance records from his university years."

The atmosphere in the courtroom became tense once again.

Fang Yuan's heart sank; he had a bad feeling.

Jiang Chen held up the document and solemnly announced.

"Zhao Tianyu, majoring in Artificial Intelligence, ranked 118th in the entire major in the first semester midterm exam."

"Out of 120 people, he ranked 118th, third from the bottom."

The courtroom was silent, and all eyes were on Zhao Tianyu.

Then, Jiang Chen continued.

"The attendance record is as follows: 320 classes were scheduled since the start of the semester, and 26 classes were attended."

"The absenteeism rate exceeds 90%!"

He put down the documents and looked directly into the defendant's dock.

"A student who drives a BMW, spends tens of thousands of yuan a month, has a 90% absenteeism rate, and ranks third from the bottom in his class is competing with a student from a registered impoverished family for a scholarship."

"Defendant's attorney, do you still believe that the school's review process was responsible and could withstand scrutiny?"

Fang Yuan leaned back slightly, as if his heart had skipped a beat.

He didn't speak, not because he didn't want to, but because he truly had nothing to say!

Netizens went wild instantly!

[Third from last? 90% absenteeism? What kind of university can they even get into?]

[Driving a BMW, buying gaming equipment, skipping classes, failing courses, and then stealing financial aid from impoverished students?]

How dare someone like this apply for financial aid? How did the school approve it?

[The lawyer on the other end, say something! Aren't you usually quite the talker?]

Jiang Chen has exposed everything about the opposing side!
