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

The call had just ended when a familiar mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

【Ding dong! 】

[System Task Issued: Represent the victim in the second instance of the "13-year-old girl severely injured in a beating" case, safeguarding the victim's legal rights!]

[Task Requirements: The second instance court must either overturn or uphold the original judgment regarding the awarded damages, and reject all appeals from the opposing party!]

[Task Reward: Base score of 2000 points. An additional 1000 points will be awarded if the opposing party's appeal is completely rejected. An additional 1000 points will be awarded for every 10 yuan increase in compensation!]

Current points: 250.

Hearing this, Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Starting at 2,000 points, and there might even be extra rewards?

This case was worthwhile!

He opened his private messages and saw that the girl from earlier had sent him a message.

The girl's profile picture was a cartoon bear, and her ID was "Little Deer Must Be Strong".

The private message contained her contact information and a location.

Donglin City.

Jiang Chen glanced at the map, his eyes lighting up.

Donglin City is located near the city where he is currently.

How close is it...? It only takes forty minutes by high-speed rail!

"Not bad luck," Jiang Chen muttered.

He immediately opened the ticket purchasing software.

"The next train to Donglin City departs in half an hour... perfect timing!"

He bought the train ticket directly.

Once this high-speed train arrives at its destination, he can immediately transfer to a new high-speed train to travel to the city where the next lawsuit is located.

When the audience learned Jiang Chen's purpose, the live chat exploded!

[Holy crap? I just got off the high-speed train and then got back on?!]

[Jiang Chen, your attitude is too good! You said you'd go and you went right away!]

[This is a real lawyer! Unlike some others who take the money and then drag their feet!]

[My heart aches for Jiang Chen, he's been working non-stop!]

This is the speed of justice!

More than an hour later.

Donglin City High-Speed ​​Railway Station, Exit.

Jiang Chen walked out of the station with his bag on his back and hailed a taxi.

"Driver, go to the city center and find me a hotel!"

"..."

On the bus, he took out his phone and sent a message to the girl.

"I have arrived in the East."

"Let's meet tomorrow morning. Send me the address!"

The other party replied almost instantly: "Okay, Attorney Jiang! Thank you so much!"

Immediately afterwards, the other party sent a location, which was a residential area near the First People's Hospital of Donglin City.

Jiang Chen glanced at it and put his phone in his pocket.

The following morning.

Inside a hotel in Donglin City.

Jiang Chen took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and straightened his collar in front of the mirror.

He looked at himself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and slowly took out his phone.

He had already started the live stream in advance.

"Let's go, family members, today we're going to the victim's home to understand the case in person!"

"I will tell you everything I can about this case, but I will turn off the parts that involve privacy. Please understand!"

The screen was instantly flooded with comments:

[I understand! Keep it up, Jiang Chen!]

[Looking forward to meeting the family today!]

Those lawyers for those young punks are just waiting to cry!

Jiang Chen left the hotel and took a taxi to the agreed-upon residential area.

This is an old residential area with no elevator and dim lighting in the stairwells.

Arriving at the entrance of a certain building, he went up to the sixth floor and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly.

The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in her forties, with red and swollen eyes, messy hair, and wearing a faded house dress.

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, tears immediately streamed down her face.

"Attorney Jiang, you're here? Thank you... thank you so much!"

Jiang Chen nodded, lowering his voice.

"Auntie, don't be so polite."

"I...I'm here to help you!"

He was ushered into the house.

The living room wasn't big, and the furniture was old, but it was kept fairly tidy.

There was an award certificate on the wall.

[Zhang Xiaolu, a model student]

Jiang Chen's gaze lingered on the certificate for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman came out from the inner room. She had her hair tied in a ponytail, was wearing a gray sweatshirt, and had red eyes.

"Attorney Jiang, I'm Zhang Xiaoyu, Xiaolu's older sister!"

It was she who contacted Jiang Chen online!

Jiang Chen nodded and greeted him with a smile, "Hello!"

Zhang Xiaoyu's mother stood to the side, her voice trembling slightly.

"Attorney Jiang, you must help my little deer..."

"She's only thirteen years old. She still has school to go to, and she'll get married... Now she's lying in the hospital, and we don't even know if she'll wake up!"

"Those people's lawyers said that the second trial will leave us with nothing. We really don't know what to do!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone remained calm.

"Auntie, don't worry."

"Now that I'm here, I'm determined to see this through to the end!"

He sat down on the sofa, opened his backpack, and took out his laptop.

"Xiaoyu, bring all the materials over here."

"I want to see everything: the first-instance judgment, the injury assessment report, the medical records, the payment receipts, the police case filing notice, and the opposing party's appeal documents!"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and hurriedly brought out a stack of documents from the inner room.

Jiang Chen flipped through the documents one by one, his expression serious, his brows furrowing occasionally.

We have entered the analysis phase.

After flipping through the pages for about ten minutes, he slowly raised his head and said earnestly.

"I have read the first-instance verdict."

"In the criminal case, the ringleader was sentenced to five years, the accomplices were sentenced to two years and one and a half years respectively, and two others are still at large."

"The civil compensation award... was 150 million."

He paused, a hint of doubt in his voice.

"The judgment itself is not problematic; what are the grounds for the appeal?"

Normally, there is no possibility of appeal in cases that have already been determined.

unless……

Zhang Xiaoyu bit her lip.

"They said... Xiaolu's injuries weren't that serious, just minor!"

"They also said the compensation amount was too high and they couldn't afford it."

"They also hired a really good lawyer, I heard it's from some... top-tier law firm!"

Upon hearing these three words, Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"The red-circled firm?"

The live stream chat exploded instantly!

[The one circled in red? What's that? Is it very powerful?]

Let me check... The red-circled firms are the top-tier law firms in China; they're industry giants!

The firms circled in red are eight top-tier law firms, and their fees are outrageously high!

Are those young men from wealthy families? Can they afford lawyers from top-tier law firms?

No wonder they appealed after being sentenced to 150 million in the first instance; they're preparing for a legal battle!

[Jiang Chen versus a lawyer from a top-tier law firm? That seems a bit risky...]

Jiang Chen glanced at the comments and chuckled softly.

He spoke casually, as if he didn't take the matter to heart at all.

"Then let them pay!"

"I know the lawyers at the top-ranked law firms. Their skill level is indeed quite high."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"But if they run into me, then they're just unlucky!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu was taken aback.

Jiang Chen looked at her, his tone becoming serious.

"You don't need to worry about who the opposing lawyer is."

"I don't care if it's a red-circle or black-circle law firm; before the law, we're all on the same level."

"They have their lawyers, and I have my laws."

"If they can get 150 million in the first trial, they won't escape punishment in the second trial either!"

"Maybe they can even pay out more!"
