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

The courtroom fell silent upon hearing this.

The live stream chat exploded instantly!

I think... the court should force him to undergo a paternity test, after all, it's for the truth!

[To the person upstairs: paternity testing isn't something you can just do whenever you want!]

[Fun fact: The Civil Code explicitly states that natural persons enjoy the rights to bodily integrity and privacy, and no one may forcibly draw blood or collect human tissue against their will!]

[That's right. If one party disagrees, the presiding judge has no authority to order forced sampling and cannot send someone to escort them for blood collection!]

[Tsk tsk tsk... If that's the case, and he's unwilling to take a sample, then there's nothing we can do, right?]

There's really nothing we can do about that!

The judge's gaze fell on the defendant's dock, his tone calm and steady.

"Defendant Li Lin!"

"The plaintiff's representative urges you to cooperate with the paternity test. Do you agree to undergo the test?"

Li Lin did not answer.

He sat there silently, clenching his teeth, his eyes gradually turning cold.

No one knows what he's thinking.

He did have a secret affair with Yan Dongping, but that was a long time ago.

Who would have thought that, years later, these things would still be related to him!

If Yan Dongping hadn't asked him for help, he would have helped out of consideration for their past relationship.

Perhaps they won't get involved at all!

All of my troubles are because of Yan Dongping!

How could this not make him angry?

Seeing that Li Lin had not responded for a long time, the presiding judge was about to speak again to remind him.

But at that moment, Li Lin suddenly stood up.

Swish!

His movements were too fast and too large; the chair was flung backward and slammed hard against the wall.

It emitted a piercing scraping sound.

Hiss~

The sudden commotion startled Yan Dongping, who was standing next to her, and she looked up.

Before she could react, Li Lin was already in front of her, and swung his right hand out.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap landed hard on her face.

The sound echoed in the courtroom, where it was very quiet, making the slapping sound exceptionally clear!

Due to inertia, Yan Dongping lost control of her body and tilted to one side.

He fell face-first to the ground with a thud!

"Li Lin, you..."

Yan Dongping covered her face and stared wide-eyed.

His eyes were filled with fear!

What... what is he going to do?!

How dare Li Lin disregard court rules and directly hit her?

That's incredibly audacious!

Even Shen Zhiyi, who was standing to the side, was stunned on the spot.

Her lips parted slightly, and she froze on the spot.

Seeing Li Lin's emotional outburst, she no longer cared about girls helping girls.

If she went up to stop them, she would probably get beaten up herself!

Who would dare to go up and try to persuade them?

The moment the slap landed, the audience erupted in chaos!

Some people stood up, while others covered their mouths and let out low gasps.

Two bailiffs rushed forward from both sides, one holding Li Lin's shoulder and the other standing between him and Yan Dongping, forcibly pulling him back.

They were afraid that Li Lin would continue to attack!

"Let go! Sit down!"

The bailiff's voice was full of authority.

Li Lin was pressed back into the chair, his chest heaving violently.

His eyes were as cold as knives.

"It's just a paternity test, I'll do it."

"If this child isn't mine, you've caused me so much trouble...you just wait!"

At this moment, the viewers in the live stream went wild!

Wow, that slap felt so good!

[Awesome! It's starting to get dogfighting!]

That slap wasn't enough to vent my anger. If I had thrown her to the ground, I would have given her a few more kicks...

[To the person upstairs: Daring to assault someone like that in court, you'll end up in jail too!]

Don't underestimate a slap; it's a serious matter in court!

[Hmph...Serves you right! I felt that slap wasn't enough!]

At this moment, Yan Dongping covered her face and huddled in the chair.

She didn't even dare to look at Li Lin.

Presiding Judge Cao Zhenbang struck the gavel forcefully twice.

Boom!

Boom!

"Silence in the gallery!"

"Defendant Li Lin, personal attacks are prohibited in court!"

"Any further acts of violence will be treated as contempt of court!"

Li Lin was panting heavily, but did not refute.

He simply turned his head away, no longer looking at anyone.

Cao Zhenbang's gaze swept across the entire room, and his tone returned to normal.

"Given that the paternity test results will have a decisive impact on the nature of this case, this court has decided... to adjourn for eight hours!"

"Oral swab samples were collected on-site by a forensic appraisal institution in the presence of a notary public at the court, from the defendants Li Lin and Yan Dongping, and from the child, and sent to the appraisal center for expedited testing!"

"During the recess, both parties' representatives may wait in the court's designated waiting room and may not leave the court premises!"

"Everyone, exit the courtroom!"

The gavel fell again.

Boom!

Sheng Zhubao glanced at Jiang Chen.

"It's alright, this situation is rare, but it's still quite normal."

"Only under the witness of a court can a credible paternity test result be obtained."

Jiang Chen offered words of comfort.

At this moment, Sheng Zhubao glanced at the audience seats.

In a corner of the audience, sat a woman in her fifties or sixties, holding a boy in her arms.

The old lady is Yan Dongping's mother, and the boy is her son!

It's just a pity that it's not like that now.

"well……"

Sheng Zhubao sighed deeply and did not speak further.

The courtroom began to disperse.

People in the gallery were guided out in an orderly manner by bailiffs, and everyone had an expression of lingering satisfaction on their faces!

Clearly, they enjoyed the slap they just received!

Viewers in the live stream were also somewhat reluctant to leave.

[An eight-hour recess? That's way too long!]

There's no way around it; even the fastest paternity test takes at least six hours from start to finish!

Taking samples inside the courthouse and sending them to the testing center takes time!

If the DNA test results show that Li Lin is not the child's father, will he react even more strongly?

[Hahaha...At that point, we'll have to beat them up!]

If he's not the father either, then I'm really curious: who is the child's father?

A short while later, Jiang Chen led Sheng Zhubao into the plaintiff's lounge prepared by the court.

During recess, they can sleep and eat in the lounge.

However, they cannot leave the court's jurisdiction.

The same applies to the defendants.

Sheng Zhubao sat in the chair, head down, his mood very complicated.

Although he was about to be free, he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

Jiang Chen leaned back on the sofa and turned on the live stream camera.

As soon as the live stream started, tens of thousands of people flooded in.

【catch!】

Jiang Chen, you've gone on a killing spree today!

I'm really curious, where did you get all this evidence from?!

[Don't be surprised, Jiang Chen has his own connections, and they're all legal!]

I truly admire their ability to legally find this evidence!

[Can we please send Yan Dongping in? I've disliked her for a long time!]

Exactly! That slap was too light!
