Chapter 569: Chapter 466: Gu Chen Finally Takes on a New Case! (Part 2)

It’s just that Gu Chen doesn’t do much live streaming...

Gu Chen has been busy with company matters for the past two months, and now finally has time to take on the case.

For this lawsuit, Gu Chen isn’t looking to raise prices opportunistically or anything like that.

Sometimes, when Gu Chen takes on a case, it’s not about the money...

It’s about whether Gu Chen wants to take the case or not.

If Gu Chen doesn’t want to take a case, no matter how much money is offered, he won’t accept it.

...

Gu Chen said, "Yan Yuting, contact them, and then sign the contract. I’ll take this case."

Once Gu Chen confirms he’s taking a case, he leaves the rest to the company’s employees to handle the procedures.

After signing the contract, Gu Chen will step in to learn more about the details of the case.

Gu Chen said, "I’ll go prepare the case materials first, and look into all the details."

Once Gu Chen makes up his mind, he will immediately step in to fight the case.

Xue Qingqing and Yan Yuting exchanged glances.

The boss is still the same...

Yan Yuting said, "This is our boss. Even though he is the big boss and very busy every day, even a professor, he still stands up to take on cases. He clearly can do other work, whether it’s live streaming games or something else, and earn much more than from lawsuits."

"But the boss chooses to take on lawsuits... Our boss truly loves the legal profession... There isn’t another person like him in the whole country," Yan Yuting said.

Xue Qingqing smiled, "Yes, that’s why I follow the boss."

Every time Xue Qingqing sees Gu Chen taking a case and analyzing it seriously, she thinks he looks really handsome...

Actually, this case, given to many lawyers, might not give them as much confidence as Gu Chen.

Did Lin Helong break the law? He definitely did.

But can Lin Helong be sentenced to death?

It’s probably quite difficult...

Because convicting someone to death is usually very challenging.

Just because someone broke the law doesn’t mean they will definitely get the death penalty.

Even if Lin Helong threatened Xie Tongtong in various ways, there’s nothing that can be done.

Unless Lin Helong commits intentional murder, which would significantly increase the chances of a death penalty.

Intentional murder generally results in the death penalty.

If it’s involuntary manslaughter, it might not be a death penalty.

Let alone a domestic violence case?

Even though the severity of the domestic violence is high...

Lin Helong indeed broke the law, but it’s still difficult to directly sentence him to death.

Xue Qingqing said, "Since the boss has decided, I’ll go work with him, and leave the rest to you."

Xue Qingqing found herself increasingly fond of the boss...

She has known Gu Chen for so long.

Xue Qingqing watched Gu Chen go from a lawyer at a small firm to where he is today.

But Gu Chen’s initial determination remains unchanged.

Having someone like this by her side is really wonderful.

...

Xie Tongtong’s family.

Xie Tongtong’s father, Xie Fan, and mother, Yan Qing, were at home.

Xie Tongtong received a call from Yan Yuting, learning that Gu Chen was willing to take on her case.

Xie Tongtong excitedly said, "Dad, Mom, Lawyer Gu has taken my case! Lawyer Gu has agreed to take my case. I thought he wouldn’t take on such a small case because he’s so busy... But he did. Lawyer Gu is a big boss, very busy usually, and I think he’s the best lawyer ever. It’s really rare for someone like him to come out and take on cases."

"Lawyer Gu hasn’t taken a case in two months. I just wanted to ask if Lawyer Gu could help me, and I didn’t expect him to really come forward to help..."

"Dad, Mom, we’re saved," Xie Tongtong said.

Xie Tongtong still goes online.

Actually, Lin Helong has already been detained for a while.

Xie Tongtong has been seeking help everywhere...

Even the news reported on Xie Tongtong’s situation.

Xie Tongtong has suffered domestic violence thirty-six times, and it’s known all over the internet.

Many media outlets have come to interview Xie Tongtong...

Many netizens also support Xie Tongtong.

When looking for a lawyer, many netizens recommended Gu Chen to Xie Tongtong....

Xie Tongtong learned about all the cases Gu Chen had handled before and understood Gu Chen’s impressive track record.

That’s when Xie Tongtong realized just how amazing Lawyer Gu’s skills are in litigation....

Someone like him has yet to lose a case.

Xie Tongtong sincerely hoped Gu Chen could help her fight the case.

Now knowing that Gu Chen is truly willing to take on the case, Xie Tongtong is extremely happy.

Xie Tongtong’s parents also consulted other lawyers, and they have their own connections as well.

But when they reached out to other lawyers...

All the lawyers said it was difficult to sentence Lin Helong to death.

Even a "very capable" lawyer they knew said the same....

Of course, some lawyers were willing to provide free assistance to Xie Tongtong’s family.

But Xie Tongtong wasn’t in a hurry; she wanted Gu Chen to take on this case.

Xie Tongtong’s father, Xie Fan, asked, "Daughter, is Lawyer Gu really that good at litigation? I don’t know the levels of these lawyers, and I don’t know how skilled Gu Chen is."

Xie Tongtong’s mother, Yan Qing, also spoke, "I don’t know either. Is Gu Chen really that good? Wouldn’t other lawyers be just as good for the case?"

"There are also some lawyers willing to provide us free assistance, so their service would be free..."

Xie Tongtong’s parents aren’t very wealthy and seldom go online, so they aren’t aware of the news.

They naturally don’t know how incredible Gu Chen is at litigation.

Xie Tongtong said, "Dad, Mom, Lawyer Gu is unbelievably good, way more skilled than ordinary lawyers."

At this moment, Yan Yuting had already arrived.

After arriving, Yan Yuting politely bowed, "Hello, we contacted by phone before; I am the boss’s assistant Yan Yuting, here to sign the contract and discuss the specifics of this case."

Xie Tongtong happily welcomed Yan Yuting, saying, "Welcome, welcome..."

Upon seeing Xie Tongtong’s condition...

With just one look, Yan Yuting’s eyes turned a little red.

Because Xie Tongtong was really abused terribly...

The lasting pain on Xie Tongtong from years of domestic violence is something that can’t be resolved in a lifetime.

Just the physical wounds have reached a state beyond recovery.

Not to mention the psychological pressures that come with it.

Who knows how much pain lies in Xie Tongtong’s heart?

Now with Lin Helong detained, Xie Tongtong isn’t as scared.

But if Lin Helong were released, Xie Tongtong might not even be able to sleep well.

Yan Yuting said, "The boss has decided to take the case, but he has three requirements."

"First, after taking the case, you need to fully cooperate. The boss will bring someone over to study and analyze the case, and you need to truthfully disclose all the details. If you hide any details and lose the case as a result, there’s nothing we can do."

"Second is the fee issue. The boss’s rate for taking the case is higher than the other lawyers at our firm. The boss will charge 300,000 for this case, but I must clarify that if we lose, there’s nothing we can do about it, and the legal fees are non-refundable."

"Third is the confidentiality issue. Since the media often comes for interviews, the boss has said he hopes to keep his involvement in this case confidential for now. The reason is simple: you know Lin Helong’s family conditions, and they’re likely to hire a very reputable lawyer for their defense... That’s for sure."

"So, don’t let the other side know that the boss has taken the case. This way, they can’t target the boss for a breakthrough, which is also beneficial to you."

"If you agree to everything, here are two copies of the contract for you to sign. I will wait here for an hour," Yan Yuting said.
