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

Chapter 74 The court adjourned, so why was the crime increased by one degree?

The judge's gaze slowly swept across the entire room.

"The paternity test conducted by the defendant during the recess has been sent back to the court, and the court will read out the test results in court."

Cao Zhenbang opened the documents in front of him.

"Following expedited testing by the forensic identification center, DNA samples from the defendant Li Lin and their son Sheng were compared, and the results are as follows..."

He paused for half a second, and many people stopped breathing as well.

What was the final result?

"The probability of a biological parent-child relationship between Li Lin and Sheng is 99.99%, therefore, a parent-child relationship between them is established!"

There was a moment of silence after these words were spoken.

Immediately afterwards, an uproar erupted!

In the spectator stands, people were discussing the matter.

"Holy crap! It's confirmed! So this was the mistress all along!"

"This Yan Dongping is a ruthless person; she's more cunning than anyone else!"

"Sigh... I never imagined that even the child wasn't the plaintiff's child. This is outrageous!"

"..."

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.

[666...It's confirmed! Li Lin is the child's biological father!]

[This plaintiff is really unlucky; not only did his wife cheat on him, but he also raised someone else's child for so many years!]

This is outrageous! Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this!

How exactly did Jiang Chen uncover their relationships? Even if it were out in the open, I'd be completely baffled for a while!

All I can say is, for doing something like this, even drowning in a pig cage wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Yan Dongping turned completely pale the moment she heard the result.

After all... this result was beyond her expectations!

When she first became pregnant, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

Unexpectedly, the bullet fired years ago hit me right between the eyebrows today!

She glanced at Li Lin, her eyes filled with panic and despair.

But in the end, she didn't say a word; she just slumped into the chair.

Li Lin's reaction was completely different.

He just gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"snort……"

He felt as if he had a breath stuck in his chest, and it was difficult to release it.

Presiding Judge Cao Zhenbang struck the gavel again.

Boom!

"Silence in the courtroom!"

The commotion gradually subsided.

Cao Zhenbang's gaze gradually turned serious.

"The trial continues!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen stood up.

"Presiding Judge, Judges."

"We have new supplementary claims!"

Now that the court recess has ended, we are still in the evidence presentation phase.

As the plaintiff, Jiang Chen may submit a written application to add claims to the lawsuit.

This is legal and compliant in terms of procedure.

The presiding judge nodded: "The plaintiff's representative is permitted to file the lawsuit."

Jiang Chen stood up, holding the paper application form in his hand, and handed it to the bailiff.

The bailiffs then presented it to the judge's bench.

"The paternity test results have confirmed that the defendant, Li Lin, is the child's biological father. Based on this new fact, we are filing three supplementary claims."

Jiang Chen spoke slowly.

"First, according to Article 261 of the Criminal Law, anyone who has a duty to support an elderly, young, sick, or otherwise incapable of independent living and refuses to do so, and whose circumstances are egregious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years, criminal detention, or public surveillance."

"Shortly after the defendant Li Lin had relations with Yan Dongping, Yan Dongping became pregnant, and it is believed that Li Lin knew this!"

"Li Lin, knowing he was highly likely the child's biological father, failed to fulfill any parental obligations for over ten years, constituting the crime of abandonment!"

Upon hearing the first claim, Li Lin's eyes widened in surprise.

Abandonment?

You can't just say that!

How could he have known that it was his own child?

Back then, after learning that Yan Dongping was pregnant, I also calculated the time.

I did have some doubts.

Even after that, he rarely contacted Yan Dongping.

Correspondingly, Yan Dongping rarely contacted him.

The matter was dropped, and Li Lin didn't take it to heart.

But little did I know, my initial guess was actually true!

Jiang Chen's expression turned serious, and his tone gradually became more forceful.

"Secondly, the defendant Li Lin conspired with Yan Dongping to organize multiple people offline to harass, vandalize, and threaten Shengzhubao!"

"The aforementioned actions are suspected of constituting the crimes of intentionally leaking citizens' personal information and provoking trouble!"

"We have compiled relevant surveillance footage, property management records, and call logs as evidence and request the court to pursue the matter according to law!"

Li Lin's face grew even paler.

He glanced at Yan Dongping, his eyes filled with resentment.

Shen Zhiyi took a deep breath and comforted Yan Dongping.

"Sister Dongping, I will do my best to help you get off the hook."

"Don't put pressure on yourself..."

However, Jiang Chen turned his gaze to Shen Zhiyi.

"Third! During the proceedings, the defendant's attorney repeatedly made inflammatory remarks unrelated to the case, misleading the court and the public, maliciously distorting the facts, and seriously disrupting the court order!"

"We hereby request the court to record this situation and transfer the relevant clues to the bar association and judicial administrative authorities for review of their professional conduct in accordance with the law!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi's expression changed.

What's going on?

Why is she involved?

After these three supplementary lawsuits were presented, the courtroom fell silent once again.

In the audience, someone gasped.

The viewers in the live stream were absolutely thrilled!

[Holy crap, is this going to send the opposing lawyer to jail too?!]

[Unexpectedly, after the court recess, the other party's charges were increased!]

[As expected of Jiang Chen, he's been holding back a lot of trouble!]

[No wonder Jiang Chen didn't stop the lawyer from making those outrageous remarks; he was waiting for this!]

I suspect Jiang Chen did it on purpose, but I have no proof!

[These crimes combined mean he could face a sentence of at least ten years!]

That's how it should be—don't let a single one escape!

In the dock, Yan Dongping's body trembled slightly, and she never dared to look in Li Lin's direction.

Li Lin clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with anger.

Shen Zhiyi suddenly stood up, her expression somewhat flustered.

"Your Honor! We protest!"

"The plaintiff's attorney is maliciously attacking my professional conduct, which constitutes undue interference with the court proceedings!"

Cao Zhenbang said calmly, "Defendant's representative, please provide specific evidence for the content of your protest."

"The plaintiff's representative is stating factual claims, which must be based on evidence."

Shen Zhiyi was about to continue speaking.

Yan Dongping, who was standing next to him, suddenly said, "Attorney Shen, I gave you 50,000 yuan in advance for the court fees. You said this case was a sure win..."

In the quiet courtroom, everyone heard it clearly.

Shen Zhiyi's face turned pale and then red, and she was speechless for a moment.

Song Zhe sat down next to Yan Dongping and spoke coldly.

"The court fees are still my money. If we don't get that money back, you know what will happen!"

"And...you told me before that the child is your ex-husband's, and that you have no feelings for him anymore."

"Now I understand, you didn't even intend to tell me who the child's biological father is!"

You could tell from his voice that he was clearly suppressing his anger.

Viewers in the live stream burst into laughter upon seeing this.

[Hahaha... The third brother is quite loyal; he even paid the court fees!]

[What kind of loyalty is this? If Sheng Zhubao is sentenced to leave with nothing, the house will be his!]

[50,000 yuan for a house? That's a great deal!]

[This is hilarious! They're starting to fight amongst themselves now. They probably won't last long!]

[Convicted of multiple offenses, I don't dare to imagine how long the sentence will be!]
