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

After the verdict was read, the crowd in the courtroom began to disperse.

Jiang Chen was also about to leave his seat.

Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in my ear.

【Ding dong! 】

[The host-proxy case has been concluded, and the judgment closely matches the litigation claims. Social impact assessment is underway...]

[Achievement Unlocked: Legal Pioneer]

[Title effect activated!]

[Physical Fitness: Increased by 15%. Endurance and fatigue resistance are enhanced.]

[Thinking Skills: Improved by 20%. Logical reasoning and on-the-spot reaction speed increased.]

[Memory: Improved by 25%. Legal provisions and case details are memorized instantly.]

[Title Passive Effect: Increases persuasiveness by an additional 10% when speaking in court.]

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, then blinked.

Good guy!

How could a title bring me such a big boost?

However, he did feel it; his mind was a little clearer than before, and his body felt lighter!

Jiang Chen smiled and looked at Lin Xuyang and the other person beside him.

"You two, it's over."

Jiang Chen smiled.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to your hotel!"

The sunlight was blinding outside the courthouse.

A group of reporters had already gathered at the bottom of the steps, their cameras and microphones aimed at the gate.

Fang Yuan was the first to come out.

He kept his head down and tried to walk quickly through the crowd, but the reporters surged forward like a tide.

"Attorney Fang! What are your thoughts on the verdict?"

"Attorney Fang! Your client has been sentenced to twelve years. Do you think the sentence is too harsh?"

"Attorney Fang! You were interrupted several times by the plaintiff's lawyer during the court hearing. Did you feel that your professional competence was being challenged?"

"..."

Fang Yuan's face turned pale and then red, his lips trembled, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a sentence.

"I...respect the court's decision."

"Would you appeal on behalf of the client?"

"That's...the right of the person involved, I have no comment."

Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on Fang Yuan's forehead.

He wanted to leave, but reporters blocked his way.

"Attorney Fang! Some people say you've suffered a major setback this time, what's your opinion?"

Fang Yuan's face turned completely green.

He gritted his teeth, forcefully pushed through the crowd, and practically escaped into a taxi parked on the side of the road.

The moment the car door closed, he heard a reporter outside shout, "Attorney Fang! Will you take this kind of case again next time?"

He did not answer.

The taxi sped away.

There's no way around it... this is just too embarrassing!

Meanwhile, at the other exit of the courthouse.

Jiang Chen led Lin Xuyang and the other person out quietly through the side door.

A ride-hailing car was already parked there.

"Get in the car quickly." Jiang Chen opened the car door and let the siblings get in first.

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Attorney Jiang, we don't need to hide from the reporters, do we? You're a hero."

"Hero my foot."

Jiang Chen got into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt.

"I dread interviews; they're more tiring than going to court!"

He had seen many such scenes when he was an entertainer.

I'm too lazy to go through that again.

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already 2 p.m.

Jiang Chen opened his laptop and logged into the live stream.

The moment the camera lit up, in less than three minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to 50,000!

The viewers in the live stream were very excited.

Jiang Chen is here!

[We've all seen the verdict! Awesome!]

[Twelve years! Eight years! Six years! They're all in!]

Jiang Chen, you're amazing! You wiped out four opponents single-handedly!

Jiang Chen looked at the comments, smiled, and leaned back in his chair.

"Alright, alright, stop bragging."

"This lawsuit was actually quite exhausting."

He picked up his water glass, took a sip, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"To be honest, this is my first time in court, so I'm still a bit inexperienced."

"The opposing lawyer seized several opportunities during the process."

The live stream went silent for a moment.

【？？？？？】

[Not skilled? You call this not skilled?]

[On your first court appearance, you beat a seasoned lawyer of 23 years to the point of despair. Is that what you call inexperienced?]

[You've already gotten your travel expenses back, what more do you want?]

Versailles! Versailles in its rawest form!

Jiang Chen, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the comments.

"I'm serious."

"There were a few instances where my on-the-spot reaction was a beat too slow, but that's experience, and I'll do better next time!"

Another barrage of comments flooded the screen:

[There will be a next time? Are you going to sue every school in the country?]

[Jiang Chen: Next time? Next time I'll send even more people in.]

I believe that; that's his ability!

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly when he saw this.

"Speaking of which, believe it or not, if this were decades ago, even if you were just walking down the street, I would have had the chance to get you locked up!"

These words immediately piqued the curiosity of viewers in the live stream.

What does this mean?

Could more people have been sent in decades ago? Is that true or false?

I haven't committed any crimes, so why are you sending it to me?

Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, his tone relaxed.

Have you ever heard of the crime of hooliganism?

Netizens were puzzled:

[Hooliganism? That sounds vaguely familiar...]

Is it the crime of harassing women?

I think I heard from an elder that there used to be a crime called "hooliganism," which had a very broad scope!

Jiang Chen nodded.

"In 1983, the crime of hooliganism was written into the Criminal Law."

"The original article stated that... Anyone who engages in gang fights, provokes trouble, insults women, or engages in other hooligan activities, disrupts public order, and whose circumstances are egregious, shall be sentenced to imprisonment for up to seven years, detention, or public surveillance."

"The scope of this crime is very broad."

"Fighting, swearing, harassing others, having affairs, or even wearing outlandish clothes and dancing cheek to cheek can all be considered hooliganism."

"The maximum penalty could be death!"

Upon hearing this, viewers in the live stream were shocked!

[Death penalty? Wearing outlandish clothing can lead to the death penalty?]

[Damn, if this happened back in the day, wouldn't Fang Yuan's attitude in court have been enough to get him charged with hooliganism?]

[Hahaha... Fang Yuan: Thank you so much!]

Jiang Chen smiled.

"That's why I say, if there were still hooliganism charges, I could just pick anyone off the street and send them to jail."

However, the crime of hooliganism no longer exists.

In the 1997 revision of the Criminal Law, the crime of hooliganism was broken down into several specific crimes, such as the crime of provoking trouble, the crime of affray, and the crime of forced indecency.

In the past, people would have been sentenced for wearing strange clothes or dancing too closely!

This is progress in the rule of law!

"However... while the crime of hooliganism is gone, there's still one crime that remains!"

"Many of the men in our live stream probably fit this description."

The live stream went silent instantly, everyone listening to Jiang Chen's words.

Jiang Chen said, word by word, "The crime of viewing obscene items."

Netizens were instantly stunned.

【…】

What?

[Watching? Not spreading? Just watching?]

I...I think I'm starting to panic!

[Jiang Chen, don't scare me! What kind of crime is this? I've never heard of it before!]

Jiang Chen looked at the screen full of question marks and a mischievous smile crept onto his lips.

According to Article 68 of the Law on Penalties for Administration of Public Security, anyone who views obscene materials shall be given a warning or fined up to 200 yuan.

"In serious cases, the offender shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days and may also be fined not more than five hundred yuan."

"So everyone, go back and clean up your hard drives..."

The live stream chat exploded!

[What the hell? Watching is illegal?]

[Oh no, should I turn myself in?]

[Jiang Chen, are you a lawyer or an undercover agent?]

I suddenly feel like this livestream is more dangerous than a courtroom!

[They've run away! They've run away! I'm going to delete some files first!]
