When Gu Chen once again brought up the accusation against the previous presiding judge, Li Yongxia, all the viewers in the live stream were shocked once more.
It's unbelievable!
Gu Chen is just an intern lawyer, yet he's already this impressive!!
Gu Chen not only put the opposing party in jail, but also sent the opposing lawyer to jail!
And now he's trying to take down the presiding judge Li Yongxia too?
[Whoa!]
[This intern lawyer Gu Chen is really something else!]
[An intern lawyer who put the defendant and their lawyer in jail! Could it be that the presiding judge will also be jailed?]
[Isn't Gu Chen just an intern lawyer? Why does he seem like a Lawless Madman?]
[No way, it's already quite impressive that Gu Chen managed to put the opposing lawyer away, but Li Yongxia is a presiding judge, how could a judge be sent to jail?]
[I don't think it's very realistic... If Gu Chen really manages to send the presiding judge to jail, that would be incredible.]
Gu Chen's performance as an intern lawyer opened the eyes of the viewers.
It turns out there really are lawyers who can send the opposing lawyer to jail in court!
Gu Chen's previous maneuvers left Gao Yong, the star lawyer of Zhong Lun Law Firm, in awe.
Because Gu Chen actually did send the opposing lawyer to jail!
The director of Zhong Lun Law Firm is Xue Yaoting.
Xue Yaoting sipped his tea as he quietly watched the live broadcast, "For an intern lawyer to handle a case this beautifully, with clear logic, evidence, and mastery of legal clauses, while still being just an intern, his capabilities far surpass what is expected of an intern lawyer. He achieved something that not even an ordinary lawyer could do."
Gao Yong was a bit shocked by Gu Chen's performance in court and seeing the director praise an intern lawyer so highly, he remarked, "Director, our firm also has many outstanding lawyers, and if a star lawyer took on this case, there's a high probability that they would win as well."
Xue Yaoting smiled and watched Gu Chen with increasing appreciation, "Would any other star lawyer think of trying to send the opposing lawyer to jail? Or even attempt to send the presiding judge to jail? Who could achieve something like that?"
Gao Yong admitted feeling inferior, "Sending the opposing lawyer to jail isn't something an average lawyer could do, but I think Gu Chen is being too impulsive, trying to send the presiding judge to jail. Without irrefutable evidence and absolute certainty, Gu Chen's actions could be considered slander. If he can't produce the evidence, he'll face legal repercussions, potentially having his lawyer's license revoked, and possibly even serving jail time."
Gao Yong said, "Director, I think your evaluation of this intern lawyer Gu Chen is a bit too high. Our firm is a top-tier firm in the country, with elite lawyers, and I've never seen you praise anyone like this, especially considering he's just an intern."
Xue Yaoting, watching the live court trial, replied, "How can you be so sure that Gu Chen doesn't have irrefutable evidence? To achieve fairness and justice, we need not only laws but also lawyers and judges who are willing to be monitored by the public. If lawyers forge evidence and judges make arbitrary decisions, then fairness and justice cannot exist in society."
"Many lawyers think about winning a case and fulfilling the client's request to make money, but Gu Chen is different. He must have some evidence, which is why he is suing the opposing lawyer and even the presiding judge. This alone is something many lawyers cannot achieve."
Gao Yong said, "But can Gu Chen really send the presiding judge to jail? It's very difficult... To reach the position of presiding judge, how could someone be sent to jail just like that?"
.....
At the courtroom scene, no one believed Gu Chen could send the presiding judge Li Yongxia to jail.
Li Yongxia was present, but she was observing from the audience rather than participating in the trial.
Li Yongxia raised her hand and said, "Presiding judge, I would like to say a few words."
Presiding Judge Li Kang looked at Li Yongxia and nodded, "Go ahead."
Li Yongxia looked at Gu Chen and said, "Lawyer Gu, you've handled this case quite impressively, but as a presiding judge, every case I've judged has been fair and unbiased, with every judgment based on legal grounds. I'm here willing to accept public scrutiny and review, yet Lawyer Gu recklessly spreads rumors about me, engaged in personal attacks and slander. Considering you are an intern lawyer, I am willing not to pursue this further."
"If you apologize to me now, I won't hold you responsible. But if you don't apologize, and you fail to present sufficient evidence, you will bear the legal consequences. Think carefully," Li Yongxia said.
Everyone turned to look at Gu Chen.
At this moment, the decision was in Gu Chen's hands.
After all, what Gu Chen said was really inconceivable.
A presiding judge... did she really do such things?
Gu Chen then spoke, "Presiding Judge Li Yongxia, regarding the case of Chen Yang, everyone knows how you ruled. You ruled that the Metro Company, Zhou Lingling, and Wang Tiantian were not required to apologize or pay any compensation for emotional damages, instead requiring Chen Yang to compensate the two women for their emotional damages."
Li Yongxia: "That was a judgment I made based on the existing evidence, according to the law, reasonable and lawful. May I ask what the problem is?"
Gu Chen held a USB drive and some documents.
Gu Chen said, "Here is all the information I've gathered. As a presiding judge, you have been severely biased toward females in all your cases over the past three years."
"This is your personal account, along with various sock puppet accounts you've used to post statements online in recent years. You've repeatedly incited gender conflicts, made inappropriate remarks, and guided public opinion for the sake of earning traffic money. You've even created sock puppet accounts to post various inflammatory videos. Proof is right here!"
Gu Chen submitted the evidence.
Everyone could see the numerous statements Li Yongxia made over the years through her sock puppet accounts.
Remarks such as—
[Met an average Joe today who asked for my WeChat. I just thought, can't these basic guys just go away?]
[Went on a blind date today and encountered a mama's boy. I asked for a dowry of 500,000, and he was unwilling. Aren't we capable of having kids? Isn't it right to ask for a higher dowry?]
[Girls help girls, get lost all you underwhelming guys.]
[....]
When Li Yongxia saw that Gu Chen had uncovered her statements from the sock puppet accounts, her voice sharpened, "Gu Chen, you violated my privacy rights and my right to reputation! These statements don't prove anything. Did I break the law by saying these things?"
Gu Chen said, "Of course you didn't break the law. Don't worry; this isn't the evidence yet. This is merely to let the public see what kind of person you are. The evidence that's truly relevant is right here!"
