Jiang Chen opened his notebook and began organizing the materials.

"Next, I will go through the entire case file."

"We need to thoroughly investigate everything, including the injury assessment, the chain of evidence, and any loopholes the opposing lawyer might find."

He looked up at Zhang Xiaoyu.

"You focus on taking care of your sister; leave the legal matters to me."

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, her face full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Attorney Jiang!"

Jiang Chen smiled and continued to look through the materials.

The viewers in the live stream were deeply moved.

Jiang Chen is so handsome, he's not even afraid of those in top-tier law firms!

This is true lawyer's spirit!

Looking forward to the second trial! Jiang Chen, give him a good beating!

Let that young man's lawyer know he's got a hot potato in his hands!

Jiang Chen opened the attachment to the first-instance judgment, which contained a family situation investigation form for the defendant.

His gaze swept over it several times, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Xiaoyu, let me ask you, do you know anything about the family backgrounds of those people who beat your sister?"

Zhang Xiaoyu paused for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "I heard from the police that the leader's name is Zhao Peng, and his family seems to be in business and quite wealthy."

"The other two... seem to be from rural areas, and their families are not well-off."

Jiang Chen nodded and pointed to the materials.

"The first-instance judgment clearly states that there were three defendants in total."

"Zhao Peng is the main culprit. His father owns a building materials company. As for the other two... their parents are farmers or migrant workers."

"The compensation of 1.5 million yuan is due to the joint liability of the three individuals."

"But the problem is... if Zhao Peng's family is only willing to cover his share, the other two simply can't afford that much money!"

"Even if the court enforces the judgment, they have no assets under their names, so you won't get anything..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoyu's face turned pale.

"Then... what do we do?"

"Is that all we can get in compensation from Zhao Peng?"

Her voice was urgent and panicked.

The compensation of 1.5 million might not even be enough to take care of her sister in the future!

Now Jiang Chen says that the other two people can't come up with that much money.

What should we do then?

"During the first trial, the judge said that all three of them had to pay compensation, and I thought I could get it all..."

Zhang Xiaoyu said anxiously.

Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling her to calm down.

"Don't rush. Let me ask you a question: how much did Zhao Peng's family pay in compensation after the first instance verdict?"

Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a moment: "He... paid 200,000 yuan, saying it was for initial medical expenses."

"The other two companies... didn't contribute a single penny!"

Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"really."

"They hired lawyers from the top-ranked law firm to appeal, not to overturn the verdict, but to reduce the amount of compensation!"

"The other two families simply can't afford lawyers; they're just tagging along with Zhao Peng's family."

"If the second instance verdict is revised and the amount reduced from 1.5 million, Zhao Peng's family will have to pay less!"

"As for the other two companies... they couldn't afford it anyway, so the sentence doesn't matter."

You can tell from their family background which firm this lawyer from the top-ranked law firm was hired by.

Zhang Xiaoyu became increasingly panicked as she listened, clenching her fists.

"Attorney Jiang, then... then what should we do? We can't just let them beat someone up and run away!"

Jiang Chen was silent for two seconds, then smiled.

"hehe……"

"Xiaoyu, I have a question for you."

"If Zhao Peng's family is willing to pay compensation, but on the condition that... the other two families don't have to pay, do you agree?"

Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and she shook her head repeatedly.

"How can that be? They were all involved in hitting my sister! Why shouldn't they compensate us?"

"If they get away with it, what will happen to my sister!"

When her younger sister was mentioned, Zhang Xiaoyu became somewhat irrational.

After all, Zhang Xiaolu is still lying in the hospital.

The culprit who caused her to end up like this is still alive and well.

How could their family members accept this?

"Therefore, you need to find a way to deal with it that will make you feel better."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said calmly.

It seems they had already come up with a solution.

Zhang Xiaoyu looked puzzled.

Jiang Chen waved to her.

Seeing his mysterious look, Zhang Xiaoyu approached him curiously.

Jiang Chen whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, Zhang Xiaoyu was taken aback at first, then a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Is this... real?"

Her face was filled with disbelief.

"Of course it's true!"

Jiang Chen looked at her with a smile.

"You are the victim's family members. The victim is already in such a state; how can you let the family members get upset over this?"

"Even if they have no money, they should still receive their due punishment!"

Zhang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

"Yes... Attorney Jiang, you're right. I didn't think it through. I didn't realize it could be done this way!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Jiang Chen and Zhang Xiaoyu's whispered conversation was very mysterious, and the viewers in the live stream couldn't hear it clearly.

Many people were so anxious they were scratching their heads in frustration.

[Hiss... Jiang Chen, what did you say? Why won't we hear?]

[Exactly! Put it on speakerphone!]

[He's definitely pulled some crazy stunt again; his antics never disappoint!]

Haha... I'm already looking forward to it!

[This family is really pitiful. Even though the murderer has been caught, he has no money to pay compensation!]

[I think their family was already struggling financially, and now their youngest daughter is in the hospital, it's such a pity!]

For this reason alone, those people cannot be easily forgiven!

We need to trust Jiang Chen. We already saw his aggressiveness in the previous court proceedings!

After speaking with Zhang Xiaoyu, Jiang Chen didn't forget to explain to the viewers in his live stream.

"Family members, what I just said was only the approach to handling this case."

"However, due to confidentiality, I cannot explain this to everyone."

"You'll find out on the day of the trial."

Netizens erupted in another round of lamentation.

Jiang Chen closed his notebook and turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaoyu.

"By the way, when is the court hearing?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Xiaoyu blurted out, "Next Monday at nine o'clock in the morning, two days left!"

Time is tight and the task is heavy.

Before that, Jiang Chen needed to prepare enough evidence.

"Two days...that's enough!"

He stood up and gave people a relaxed smile.

"I'll go back to the hotel to get busy. I'll reorganize all the materials in the next couple of days and write a complete opinion on the second instance."

"Go back and tell your parents not to worry, they don't need to be afraid of the other side's lawyer!"

"No matter what kind of old man the opposing lawyer is, everyone is equal before the law!"

"Leave the second trial to me, I will fight for your rights!"

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"Attorney Jiang, thank you!"

"If it weren't for you... I really don't know what I would have done!"
