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

The sun was shining brightly outside the courthouse.

Zhang Xiaoyu stood at the courthouse entrance, clutching a copy of the judgment in her hand.

Her eyes were still red, but a relaxed smile played on her lips.

ended……

At this moment, Jiang Chen also slowly walked out of the courthouse.

"Attorney Jiang... I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

Zhang Xiaoyu stepped forward, her voice still a little hoarse.

"You didn't even charge me legal fees for this court appearance..."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, his tone relaxed.

"Haha... Don't worry about it."

"This case is special, and..."

He paused, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It's not like I got nothing at all."

Zhang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

Jiang Chen didn't explain, he just smiled and said, "Alright, the second trial is over, and the other side basically has no chance of turning the tables."

"Go back and take good care of your sister. Once the compensation arrives, pay off the debts. Don't skimp on necessary expenses."

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously.

Jiang Chen turned around, with his back to the courthouse entrance, and walked towards the roadside.

"If you need anything else, remember to call me."

After walking a few steps, he heard Zhang Xiaoyu's voice behind him.

"Attorney Jiang!"

"Later... once my sister is better, I'll bring her to see you!"

Jiang Chen didn't turn around, he just raised his hand and waved.

"Okay... I'll be waiting!"

It was at this moment that...

A mechanical voice sounded in my ear.

【Ding dong! 】

[The host has successfully completed the second-instance representation task in the case of "13-year-old girl severely injured in a beating."]

[Verdict: The principal offender's sentence was increased from six months to fifteen years, and the accomplices' sentences were each increased to six years. The basic amount of civil damages remained unchanged at 700,000 yuan. All of the defendant's appeals were dismissed.]

[Task Completion: Excellent.]

[Points being calculated...]

Basic reward: 2000 points.

[The opposing party's appeal is completely rejected: an additional 1000 points will be awarded.]

[Compensation amount remains at the basic level, with additional compensation reduced or waived: an additional 1000 points awarded.]

Total points earned in this mission: 4000.

[Current total points: 4250.]

Jiang Chen looked at the blue light screen that appeared in front of him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

4250 points.

Previously, the cheapest skill pack in the system store cost 1000 points.

At the time, he thought that accumulating points was really slow.

I never expected that one big case would accumulate 4000 points!

"As expected, it's still faster to get the big prizes."

On a whim, he brought up the system store.

I glanced at several enhancement packs worth 1000 points.

After thinking about it, I decided not to rush to redeem it.

"I'll save it for later when I need it more!"

He shut down the system and turned on his phone.

As soon as I connected to the internet, my phone started beeping like a machine gun.

drop by drop...

Weibo @99+, Douyin comments 99+, Douyin private messages 99+...

I casually clicked on Weibo's trending topics list, and several related terms appeared on it:

#Zhang Xiaolu case second trial! Sentence reduced to 15 years!#

Jiang Chen: The law doesn't need perfect victims!

#Lawyer from a top-ranked law firm reported to the Bar Association!#

#……#

Upon seeing these entries, Jiang Chen was both amused and exasperated.

I've been trending on social media before.

But those entries, compared to these, represent a positive and a negative aspect.

Such as:

#Shocking! Jiang Chen set fire to Notre Dame Cathedral!#

#Jiang Chen knocked down the ginseng fruit tree and framed Sun Wukong!#

#Jiang Chen disguises herself as a young girl to lure Stephen Hawking to the island!#

#……#

With a sigh of relief, Jiang Chen let out a long breath.

I scrolled down for a while, then put my phone down.

"This lawsuit is over..."

"What's next?"

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling.

Going to court is an easier path.

He has the support of a system and the expertise to back him up.

In theory, one could open their own law firm and make a living from it.

But the problem is...

According to the Lawyers Law, to establish a personal law firm, one must not only have a lawyer's license, but also have been practicing full-time for more than five years.

He's only been practicing for less than six months!

"Five years...that's a pretty high bar."

He scratched his head. "Then we'll have to find a partner in the same industry."

"Find a lawyer who has been practicing for five years and start a law firm together."

"I provide the cases, the personnel, and the capabilities; he provides the qualifications!"

He thought about it and felt that this approach was feasible.

"I'll post an announcement during tomorrow's live stream... let's see if anyone's interested!"

One day later.

Jiang Chen returned to his city.

When I woke up, it was almost noon.

Sunlight streamed in at an angle through the gaps in the curtains.

He rubbed his eyes and sat up.

After quickly tidying up, I picked up my phone and started a live stream.

In less than five minutes, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to over 10.

This is not surprising.

Jiang Chen was already quite famous.

Regardless of whether he's famous for his controversial or otherwise, let's just say he's popular or not!

As soon as netizens rushed into the live stream, the chat became lively.

Jiang Chen is here!

[Congratulations to Jiang Chen! A resounding victory in the Zhang Xiaolu case!]

[One got fifteen years! The other six! They're both in jail! That's so satisfying!]

[Jiang Chen, you must be the most popular lawyer on the internet right now, right?]

When will you start a new case? I have to check it even if I'm slacking off at work!

[That's right, my wife and I watch it when we're paying our dues!]

[Holy crap! The person upstairs doesn't have to watch it all the time!]

What does this mean? Is it to give Attorney Jiang a sense of involvement?

[Jiang Chen, have you seen the trending topics? Your quote, "The law doesn't need perfect victims," ​​has been edited into a short video, and it's almost reached 100 million views!]

Jiang Chen looked at the comments and smiled.

"Alright, everyone, you don't need to flatter me."

"If we win the case, everyone will be watching; I'm just the one who did the work."

Whether in the entertainment industry or other circles, Jiang Chen understands one principle.

The higher you're lifted up, the harder you'll fall!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen's expression became more serious.

"I'm continuing the live stream today because I want to talk to you all about something."

"I plan to... open a solo law firm."

Upon hearing this, another wave of comments flooded the screen!

[Holy crap? Owns his own law firm? Awesome! Support!]

Jiang Chen's a boss now! From now on, we'll come to you for all our cases!

Need an investment? I'll put up five dollars!

[Upstairs, you actually dared to ask for five yuan? I'll offer fifty!]

Jiang Chen looked at the comments and chuckled helplessly.

Money is not a problem.

"But... I don't have enough years of practice experience. To open a personal law firm, you need to have five years of qualifications."

"So now I need a partner, someone who has been practicing for at least five years and is qualified."

"Those interested can contact me; we can discuss the specific terms!"

He paused, then added.

"Of course... don't force yourself if you're not interested."

"I'm easy to talk to, but I have high standards. I don't hire people who are too incompetent."

When opening a personal law firm, stability is essential.

After all, we have to deal with many cases.

The comments section started flooded with messages again:

I've been practicing law for 18 years! But I'm still in university...

[Great! You passed the bar exam while you were still in your mother's womb!]

I've been practicing law for ten years! But I'm doing it in a mock courtroom in a video game...

[Are you guys upstairs just joking?]

Jiang Chen's requirements aren't actually high; he just wants a qualified partner, and most importantly, someone reliable!

Jiang Chen scrolled through his private messages.

There were no self-nominated partners. Instead, there were a lot of legal consultations.

"Alright, looks like I need to build up my reputation first, then look for opportunities slowly."

He put down his phone and stretched.

"Alright, since no one's coming, let's get back to our old ways."

"Does anyone have a legal question they need to ask? Just connect via voice chat!"

The next second, the number of requests to connect for the live stream jumped to 99+.

Jiang Chen casually ordered one.

The call connected, and a young man's voice came from the other end.

"Hello Attorney Jiang... I have a question for you."

"explain!"

"I have a friend..."

Upon hearing this opening, Jiang Chen immediately raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

"A friend of mine made a mistake and is going to jail."

"I just want to ask... if my friend gets into a fight in prison, will he be expelled?"
