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

Fang Yuan placed his hands on the table, his eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

He was completely dumbfounded.

Do you have any more?

How much do you have left?

Jiang Chen didn't look at him, but calmly took out the last document from his briefcase.

The document was short, only a few pages long.

But the content of each page is of paramount importance!

"Your Honor, this is our final piece of supplementary evidence."

He handed the documents to the bailiffs.

"Inside are the personal bank statements of the defendants Zhou Haibo, Han Zhengming, and Chen Yongchang for the past three years."

All eyes were focused on the large screen in front of the judge's bench.

The recorder projected the document.

The rows of numbers and each transaction are clearly visible.

The three people who were named widened their eyes simultaneously.

Their bank statements?

How did Jiang Chen get it?

Jiang Chen turned around to face the screen and began explaining, page by page.

"Zhou Haibo, counselor, monthly salary is about six thousand yuan."

"But his bank account shows that for the past three years, he has received a fixed monthly deposit of between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, with the transfers coming from multiple different accounts."

"These accounts, once traced, ultimately point to the associated account for the disbursement of student aid at Dongning Teachers College."

"Total amount: 370,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, someone in the audience gasped.

How could a mere counselor embezzle so much money?

What about the dean, or even the principal, above them?

Jiang Chen gestured to turn to the next page.

"Han Zhengming, Dean of the College, earns a monthly salary of approximately 12,000 yuan."

"His account also showed abnormalities, with large sums of money being deposited into his account around the time of the annual student grant distribution season, with the highest single transaction reaching 50,000 yuan."

"A total of 680,000 yuan over the past three years."

He paused, then looked at the last page.

"Principal, Chen Yongchang."

"Monthly salary is approximately 15,000 yuan. Bank statements for the past three years show cumulative deposits exceeding two million yuan!"

"Of that, 1.5 million yuan came from multiple accounts related to the school's student aid program."

"The legal source of the other 500,000 yuan cannot be explained."

After Jiang Chen finished speaking, he turned around to face the judge's bench.

The sound was like a heavy hammer blow.

"Presiding Judge, Judges."

"Defendants Zhou Haibo, Han Zhengming, and Chen Yongchang, abusing their positions, embezzled, misappropriated, and even directly misappropriated national student aid funds!"

"This isn't a work error, nor is it a mistake in information verification; this is embezzlement!"

According to Article 382 of the Criminal Law, a state functionary who, by taking advantage of his or her position, embezzles, steals, defrauds, or illegally appropriates public property by other means, commits the crime of embezzlement.

Article 383: Anyone who embezzles more than three million yuan shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than ten years or life imprisonment.

His gaze swept across the defendant's dock.

"The total amount embezzled by the three individuals far exceeds three million yuan."

"We request the court to pursue the criminal liability of these three individuals in accordance with the law and impose severe penalties!"

The courtroom was deathly silent.

Then, a dull thud came from the defendant's dock.

Thump~

Zhou Haibo slid off the chair.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling violently.

"No...no...I didn't..."

The other two also wore expressions of despair, as if they could already see their own fate.

Fang Yuan suddenly stood up, his chair sliding backward with a screeching sound.

"Your Honor! This evidence..."

He wanted to question it, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

With bank statements and account traceability, their origins are clear, leaving him no way to question them!

He slowly sat back down, his face ashen.

Chen Yongchang turned his head to look at Fang Yuan and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Attorney Fang...do...do I really have to go in?"

Fang Yuan did not answer.

Han Zhengming turned his head, his voice trembling, "Attorney Fang, say something... Didn't you say... nothing would happen...?"

Zhou Haibo collapsed to the ground, head tilted back, tears streaming down his face: "Attorney Fang... save me... I don't want to go to jail..."

Fang Yuan's lips were trembling, his hands were clenched into fists under the table, and he was gritting his teeth.

He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound steady.

"Don't panic, it's not over yet... I'll do my best!"

But even he himself didn't believe his own words.

The live stream viewers were buzzing with discussion.

[Three hundred and seventy thousand, six hundred and eighty thousand, two million, that adds up to three million! Shouldn't that get him sentenced to more than ten years?]

[A counselor earns a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, but earns an extra 10,000 to 20,000 yuan each month, totaling 370,000 yuan over three years... How dare he take that kind of money?]

[The dean received 680,000 yuan, and the principal received 2 million yuan. No wonder the school hasn't lost a lawsuit in twenty years; all the money must have been used to smooth things over.]

Jiang Chen fought four opponents single-handedly, from students to counselors, deans, and principals—wiping them all out!

What does it mean to fight four against one? This is fighting the entire school! Even the school's protective umbrella is about to be taken down!

Presiding Judge Zhang Zhengyang struck the gavel.

"Thump!"

The murmurs in the courtroom gradually subsided.

All eyes were on him.

Zhang Zhengyang didn't look at anyone; his gaze was fixed on the case file, and his expression was serious.

"The plaintiff's supplementary evidence has been received and will be fully verified after the hearing."

He paused.

"Now, this court announces..."

Fang Yuan suddenly raised his head.

wrong……

The program is incorrect!

According to normal court proceedings, the next step should be the final statements from both sides.

He still had a chance to speak and a chance to make a final defense for the defendant.

But the judge's tone...

Court adjourned!

The gavel fell.

"Thump!"

Fang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Court adjourned?

Not giving him a chance to make a final statement?

His mind went blank with a "buzz".

He'd been a lawyer for twenty-three years, so he knew all too well what that meant.

The presiding judge already had a conclusion in mind.

There's no need to hear the final statement.

The live chat exploded instantly!

[Court adjourned? Not giving a final statement?]

The presiding judge already knows what's going on! No need to hear more!

This indicates that, deep down, the presiding judge had already begun to determine their sentences!

Jiang Chen won! He won a four-on-one fight!

What kind of sentence will they get? Embezzling three million? At least ten years, right?

[That's not all; there's also illegal detention, abuse of power, and covering up for others... Multiple crimes will be punished concurrently, and he won't be able to escape for over a decade!]

[At the principal's age, after more than ten years... he's about at the right stage.]

Serves you right!

The presiding judge stood up, and the three judges followed suit, exiting the courtroom through a side door.

After the gavel fell, the courtroom remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, an uncontrollable cheer erupted from the audience.

Some people applauded, some were excited, as if they had witnessed an exciting scene.

Lin Xuyang sat there, tears streaming down his face.

Lin Wan covered her face, her shoulders trembling violently.

She wasn't crying; she was laughing.

Jiang Chen stood in the plaintiff's seat, let out a long breath, and then slowly sat down.

"it's over……"
