Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.
Chapter 56 I've taken the case!
Attorney Chen's words put some pressure on Jiang Chen.
He fell silent and did not answer.
The atmosphere around us was somewhat awkward.
At that moment, Attorney Chen spoke again, his tone becoming somewhat somber.
"Attorney Jiang, there are some things... I won't hide from you. It's not that I don't want to take this case."
These kinds of divorce cases are practically just a way for lawyers to gain experience.
Unfortunately, due to the numerous implications, she dared not easily accept the case.
"It's because my personal life has been severely impacted since I took on this case!"
Attorney Chen continued.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly.
"Hmm? How so?"
"What happened?"
Attorney Chen paused for a moment, then began to organize his thoughts.
"On the very day I accepted this case, someone dug up my private address."
"The next morning, red paint was splashed on my door, and words like 'aiding and abetting evil' and 'helping scumbags whitewash' were spray-painted on the door."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's pupils narrowed slightly.
I received the case on the first day, and was retaliated against the next morning?
This must have been premeditated.
Attorney Chen took a deep breath and continued.
"I didn't dare go home for those few days and stayed at my colleague's house."
"I moved to a different place later, but less than a week later, they found me again!"
"Someone secretly slipped a note into my car, saying that I would take any shady case for money, and that I was an accomplice to evil and deserved to die a horrible death..."
"My phone number was also hacked, and every night at 11 PM sharp, someone calls to hurl insults at me until 2 AM!"
"I've changed my number three times, but it didn't work!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes showed a hint of sympathy.
Being cyberbullied is definitely a terrible experience.
In this respect, he can truly empathize!
As he spoke, Attorney Chen's voice trembled slightly: "Attorney Jiang, I'm a lawyer, I've faced many threats, but this time is different!"
"They won't reason with you; they just want you to shut up and stop taking the case!"
"I can't take it anymore... but I don't want the person involved to be crushed by cyberbullying!"
"So... I had no choice but to come to you."
Logically speaking, lawyers who represent people in court often receive numerous threats due to various bizarre real-life scenarios.
This is normal.
But some threats can indeed affect a person's life!
The live stream went silent for a moment.
Netizens were all heartbroken by what had happened to Attorney Chen.
Holy crap... this is more than just cyberbullying!
[Splashing paint, blocking doors, making phone calls in the middle of the night, harassing family members... Isn't this a crime?]
The key issue is that these people actually believe they are acting on behalf of God!
[It's already quite remarkable that Attorney Chen has managed to hold on until now.]
Some people are too extreme these days, believing that everything they see is true! They wish anyone who opposes them would die!
There's no way around it; the online environment is just too toxic these days!
Jiang Chen remained silent for a few seconds after listening.
But then he suddenly realized something and asked.
"Attorney Chen, I sympathize with the experiences you've described."
"But...aren't you afraid I'll be treated like this?"
What does that mean?
She's afraid of cyberbullying, but isn't she afraid of it too?
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.
Then, Attorney Chen replied calmly.
"Aren't you being cyberbullied every day?"
Jiang Chen opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
His lips twitched a few times.
Damn it... why bring up something you shouldn't be talking about?
Viewers in the live stream burst out laughing instantly!
[Hahahaha! Attorney Chen's finishing blow was spot on!]
To be honest, Jiang Chen is really resilient in the face of cyberbullying!
[When Jiang Chen was being attacked online, it was much worse than this. Imagine the psychological pressure he had to endure back then!]
[Jiang Chen: Thank you so much!]
[Attorney Chen is right, Jiang Chen's ability to withstand pressure is truly remarkable!]
From this perspective, Jiang Chen possesses something that other lawyers don't!
Other lawyers specialize in certain types of cases, but Jiang Chen is better at taking criticism!
Jiang Chen took a deep breath, his tone helpless.
"You're right, I do get yelled at a lot."
"But having your address dug up, paint splashed on your door, and your door blocked... is still a bit different."
Attorney Chen's tone softened slightly: "Attorney Jiang, I really had no other choice but to come to you."
"My client's situation is even worse than mine!"
"He's afraid to go out now, afraid to look at his phone. He's locked himself in his room with the curtains drawn tight."
"He won't answer his parents' calls. His wife keeps posting videos online, and every single one goes viral!"
"I'm afraid he won't understand, and then..."
She didn't continue.
But everyone knew what she wanted to say.
Jiang Chen's expression also darkened.
Just then, a familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind.
【Ding dong! 】
[New assignment: Represent the male party in Yan Dongping's divorce case, exonerate him, and defend him against online harassment.]
The task objectives and completion rewards are as follows:
[100% Completion: Win the divorce case and secure the legal rights of your client. Reward: Basic Points Pack (1500 points) + Random Skill Enhancement Pack x1.]
[Completion Rate 200%: Based on the above, prove that Yan Dongping has fabricated facts and defamed others, and pursue her legal responsibility. Reward: Advanced Points Pack (3000 points) + 1 Designated Skill Enhancement Pack.]

[Note: This is a high-difficulty social impact task. The host can determine the completion target based on their own abilities.]
Jiang Chen looked at the blue light screen that appeared in his mind, and the corner of his mouth twitched again.
"System, you really know how to give me a tough time!"
but……
If you complete the task more efficiently, you will receive more system rewards!
Simply put, the task is completed if you help the man win the lawsuit.
If you can get the woman in, you'll advance to the next level and complete the mission.
If we can get the woman and her online trolls into the scheme, we'll have exceeded our mission expectations!
The system rewards are getting more and more generous!
He fell into deep thought, wondering how he could complete the task.
Viewers in the live stream saw Jiang Chen suddenly freeze, assuming he was weighing the pros and cons.
Is Jiang Chen hesitating?
[Nonsense, who would dare take on a case like this? Taking it would mean being universally criticized online!]
But I think he should accept the offer. He's already used to being criticized, what's there to be afraid of?
[You can't say that. Their reputation had finally started to improve a little, and now they're jumping into a fire pit again?]
[Take this! This person is really pitiful. They did nothing wrong, yet they've been cyberbullied like this.]
It's understandable not to answer; what if your address gets found and you get splashed with paint?
Jiang Chen himself was the target of online attacks, so he knows what it feels like to be misunderstood.
While the comments section was still filled with arguments, Jiang Chen had already looked up.
He looked at the camera, his gaze calm.
"Attorney Chen, please give me the client's contact information."
"I'll take this case!"
