Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.
Chapter 47 Don't you want the people to have a voice?
Jiang Chen did not stop.
His voice grew louder and louder, and his tone became more and more triumphant!
"The security in our China is such that any citizen, regardless of gender or age, can walk on any street at any time without fear!"
"They don't need to be afraid of being robbed, beaten, or harmed!"
"This is the result of the efforts of countless police officers who guarded this country and society day and night!"
"This is the most basic guarantee of public safety!"
"If our legal system, or rather... a lawyer in our courtroom, when handling a case of violent assault, were to question the victim about why they went out at night."
"Does that imply that public security in China isn't actually good enough for a citizen to feel safe going out?"
"Is this implying that if you get beaten up if you go out at night, it's your own fault?"
Every word Jiang Chen uttered was like a stone thrown into calm water.
This caused a huge uproar in the entire courtroom!
He turned around and his gaze fell on Huang Wen.
"Defendant's representative, I would like to ask you, what do you think of... the public security situation in China?"
The audience erupted in uproar.
Some people looked shocked, some praised it repeatedly, and some didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Several people started speaking at the same time.
Presiding Judge Zhou Zhengping slammed his gavel down.
"Thump!"
"Silence in the gallery!"
A look of surprise flashed across Zhou Zhengping's face.
He had no idea that Jiang Chen would launch a counterattack from this angle!
Huang Wen's face was as white as a sheet of paper.
His lips were trembling.
He opened his mouth, wanting to refute.
But then he shut his mouth.
He knew that in court, every word could be magnified and misinterpreted!
If he says the public security is bad, then he is negating the entire country's public security system!
If he says the security is good, then his defense of dereliction of duty is completely untenable!
This is a dead end!
He was completely trapped.
The live stream chat went wild!
Holy crap! Jiang Chen's words are amazing!
[From negligence in guardianship to national security—let's see what he dares to say now!]
[How did the lawyer on the other end respond? Did he say the security situation was bad? Would he dare say that?!]
[Haha...why isn't the lawyer on the other end yelling anymore?]
Jiang Chen's move effectively shut down the opposing lawyer!
[This is what a truly good lawyer is! Not helping bad people get away with their crimes, but giving a voice to the vulnerable!]
[China has such good public security! What's wrong with going out at night? You shouldn't get beaten up just for going out at night!]
[That's right! If we don't even have the right to go out at night, what kind of society is this that governs the rule of law?]
[Jiang Chen and Niu Bo Yi!]
If he were to object, Jiang Chen could even retort, "Why do you love explaining things so much? Are you a tour guide?"
[Upstairs, isn't your question a bit too subtle?]
[Where is the obscenity?]
Jiang Chen gave Huang Wen no chance to catch his breath.
His gaze was like a knife, fixed directly on Huang Wen.
"Next, regarding the second defense argument raised by the defendant's representative, cyberbullying is a form of infringement."
"I also have something to say!"
Huang Wen closed his eyes in despair.
He had a vague feeling that things were going to get even worse.
What I just said... probably wasn't all!
Zhao Guoqiang looked at Huang Wen, his face also turning pale.
Although he doesn't understand lawsuits, he can understand the situation!
Jiang Chen refuted every single point Huang Wen made.
It even gained the support of many people!
If he were in God's shoes, he would probably agree with Jiang Chen!
Then wouldn't this lawsuit be...
"Zhang Xiaolu and her family posted videos on short video platforms and gave media interviews, sharing their experiences. I would like to ask, what's wrong with that?"
Jiang Chen's tone was serious as he questioned him.
"They're talking about their own experiences, their personal stories, things that actually happened!"
"A thirteen-year-old girl was beaten so badly that she suffered a brain hemorrhage and remained in a coma for forty-eight hours."
"What can't she say? What right does she have not to say it?"
"We live in a society governed by the rule of law, where everyone is equal."
"Every citizen has the right to express their experiences and opinions online!"
"Freedom of speech is a right granted to every citizen by the Constitution!"
Upon hearing this, Judge Zhou Zhengping nodded silently.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Chen held a hint of approval.
His dialectical perspective is correct.
And...it's almost too correct!
"Zhang Xiaolu did not fabricate facts, did not maliciously defame, and did not disclose the defendant's personal information; she was simply recounting her own experience!"
"This is called protecting one's rights, not cyberbullying!"
Jiang Chen's voice grew louder and louder.
"Defendant's lawyer, why are you trying to stop a victim from speaking out?"
Why are you stopping a victim from telling the truth?
"Don't you want the people to have a voice?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Wen's vision went black.
His body jerked violently in the chair.
His face went from white to gray, and then from gray to deathly pale!
It was as if all the blood had been drained in an instant.
His lips trembled violently, and his fingers gripped the edge of the table tightly.
It looks like he's about to slide off the chair any second!
He didn't speak, and he couldn't utter a word!
Who dares to give a direct answer to this kind of question!
After a brief silence, thunderous applause erupted from the audience!
Someone stood up and clapped their hands vigorously.
Jiang Chen's words resonated with many people!
Zhao Guoqiang looked at Huang Wen with trembling eyes, his lips pale.
As it turns out, they were utterly defeated!
Zhao Guoqiang lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.
"It's over...it's all over..."
The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar!
[Another hat! Jiang Chen is trying to get the opposing lawyer arrested today too!]
"You don't want the people to have a say? Hahaha... That one sentence sent the opposing lawyer packing!"
[This is hilarious! How did Jiang Chen even know this trick?!]
[Once you put this hat on, even Pangu himself couldn't take it off!]
Jiang Chen isn't here to fight a lawsuit today; he's here to send someone on their deathbed!
[If the opposing lawyer dares to respond, you'll hear the next morning: "Open the insurance!"]
[If he dared to say another word, several red dots would appear on his forehead a moment later!]
That's a sniper rifle!
Oh my god, why didn't you say so sooner!
There's no need to inform them!
The applause lasted for a few seconds.
Until the presiding judge slammed his gavel.
"Thump!"
"Thump!"
"Silence! Silence in the gallery!"
The applause gradually subsided.
But many people in the audience still had excitement on their faces.
Zhou Zhengping's gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on Huang Wen.
The latter slumped in the defendant's seat, as if all his strength had been drained away.
Zhou Zhengping withdrew his gaze, his tone returning to seriousness.
"The debate has now concluded!"
"Now, both parties, please submit all your evidence to the court!"
"After completing its review, this court will adjourn for further deliberation!"
"The verdict of the second instance will be announced in court half an hour later!"
"Thump!"
The gavel fell with a crisp sound.
Court adjourned!
