Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 430 - 394: An Unwinnable Case

After Xia Ranran lost the first trial defending Li Long, she felt depressed.

She knew that even if she helped with the appeal, she wouldn’t win.

No matter what she did, Li Long would ultimately be sentenced to death.

Even if no one hoped for Li Long’s execution, and everyone pleaded for him.

However, the law is above emotion; there’s no way around it.

Xia Ranran decided she wouldn’t take the case for the appeal.

She could only seek out Gu Chen. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Even if Gu Chen personally took on the case, there was little hope.

Gao Yong said, "A miracle? I know Gu Chen is great at cases, but in this case, it won’t matter who takes it! This isn’t like the last case, which only shattered legs; this one is different! Li Long committed murder, resulting in the deaths of three people. Just look at what the court’s verdict wrote."

"Li Long illegally took others’ lives, causing three deaths. His actions already constitute intentional homicide. He also burned others’ vehicles, causing significant property damage, which constitutes property destruction. The circumstances are particularly cruel, and the consequences and crimes are extremely severe. Even though Li Long surrendered, based on the facts, nature, circumstances, and social harm, a lighter sentence cannot be granted, hence the final death penalty verdict."

Gao Yong said, "The nature of this case is especially severe. Can Gu Chen win by coming in? Impossible, the evidence is conclusive, the nature is severe, anyone fighting this case will lose. Even if many people sympathize with Li Long, it cannot change the facts of this case, let alone succeed in defense."

Young Master Xue said, "A miracle...well...we must try."

Xia Ranran said, "I know it won’t work. There’s no way with this case. Let’s try Gu Chen. What if there’s hope? What if Gu Chen really manages? Even if it’s impossible, I hope for a miracle."

"Li Long is at fault, but what did he really do wrong? Who can understand the pain he endured all these years, watching his mother being killed, with the perpetrators only receiving a few years sentence..."

"When he returned home to see his father struggling, after half a lifetime, and those few living happily, what Li Long did is understandable."

Xia Ranran made up her mind, "Only Gu Chen can handle this case. Without Gu Chen, there’s no chance of winning. Only Gu Chen...I know Gu Chen probably can’t win either, but I still hope for a miracle."

Xia Ranran is a lawyer herself and knows how tough this case is.

People call Gu Chen the Lawless Madman.

So far, Gu Chen hasn’t lost a single case.

If Gu Chen wins this one, it truly would be a miracle.

Xia Ranran now hopes Gu Chen can create that miracle.

Gao Yong said, "We can fight this case for free, but if we need Gu Chen, his litigation fee is over two hundred thousand yuan... then all of Li Long’s father’s money will go to Gu Chen, and Gu Chen might not take the case for free."

Xia Ranran said, "No problem, I’ll cover it, as long as Gu Chen takes on the case."

....

....

Li Long is still in the detention center.

He is preparing to appeal.

Xia Ranran brought Li Long’s father, Li Haoran, to Gu Chen’s law firm.

The one who came out to greet them was Xue Qingqing.

Gu Chen wasn’t feeling well today and went to the hospital.

Gu Chen had a fever.

Recently, Gu Chen has been handling case after case without a break.

Gu Chen has been fighting one case after another, but he’s not just a lawyer professionally.

Gu Chen hasn’t live-streamed for many days; he’s the firm’s owner and has a lot of work to handle.

Besides work, Gu Chen is also a university professor, teaching students at the university.

They’re all his students, and Gu Chen is very diligent in preparing lessons.

Gu Chen could be just a boss, enjoying life.

His law firm is already large, established in the Capital City. Although the firm isn’t at the level of the Red Circle Law Firm, as an owner, Gu Chen could easily make money.

But Gu Chen still chooses to fight cases, teach students, and handle the company’s affairs.

Under such high-intensity work pressure, Gu Chen fainted.

After fainting, Xue Qingqing instantly called for help and accompanied Gu Chen to the hospital.

Fortunately, the hospital check-up revealed nothing serious, just that Gu Chen was under too much pressure, working too hard, resting too little, thus his immune system weakened, and he couldn’t take it anymore.

Xue Qingqing returned to the office, dealt with some issues, and then planned to visit Gu Chen at the hospital.

However, before leaving, she met Xia Ranran and Li Long’s father, Li Haoran.

Xia Ranran came with Gao Yong...

Gao Yong said, "What? Gu Chen fainted? He’s having a fever now? Oh, Gu Chen is too exhausted. Hasn’t he taken a break recently? One case ends, another begins immediately."

Xue Qingqing said, "Yes, the boss has a fever. He can’t take this case. I’m sorry...and I’ve reviewed this case; there’s no hope. Even if the boss personally handles it, he can’t win. Let him rest well."

Xue Qingqing indeed feels for Gu Chen. She’s reviewed the case and knows it’s impossible to win.
