Chapter 599 - 482: Zhang Wei Unleashes! Time to Send the Whole Family In! (2)

If the situation isn’t that severe, it’s possible to sentence him to less than ten years of imprisonment.

The key question is, how is a situation considered particularly severe?

Even if the situation is particularly severe, how do you decide between a ten-year sentence, life imprisonment, or the death penalty?

Between ten to twenty years, how many years should be given?

Jiang Yan already visited Lin Helong in the detention center, and subtly mentioned to him...

That during the second trial, Lin Helong should have a better attitude, not be arrogant, and just apologize and admit his mistakes throughout.

As long as his attitude is slightly better, it shows willingness for reform, which could lead to leniency.

Even though they haven’t received Xie Tongtong’s letter of forgiveness, leniency is still possible.

As long as Lin Helong apologizes and admits his mistakes, and his parents have spent a large sum to hire a very capable lawyer for him.

It’s fair to say, Lin Helong’s parents have arranged everything.

All that’s needed is for Lin Helong to cooperate....

They couldn’t possibly watch Lin Helong be sentenced to fifteen years.

Jiang Yan even said that this time, there’s a 100% chance Lin Helong will be sentenced to less than three years!

Jiang Yan still had great trust in Zhang Wei.

With Lawyer Zhang Wei on the case, could they possibly lose?

That’s impossible!!

The timing, location, and people are all in place... now it’s all on Lin Helong’s performance.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the plaintiff, Xie Tongtong.

Before Xie Tongtong could speak, Gu Chen spoke up directly.

Gu Chen: "I have an objection."

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

Usually, when the presiding judge asks about principles of recusal, it’s just a procedural formality.

After all, such situations are very strict, and generally, the recusal principle won’t be used.

Gu Chen stated: "I apply for a recusal."

Gu Chen didn’t consider so much at the time.

He had already activated the system....

For this case, it would be best to change the presiding judge.

Moreover, applying for recusal is a right every citizen should have after a lawsuit.

When Gu Chen applied for recusal, he also presented evidence...

This case could only proceed with recusal.

Ren Qingqing left.

Lin Helong: "????"

Lin Helong’s face turned slightly pale.

Gu Chen immediately seized the pace of the whole scene...

Even directly applying for the principle of recusal... What exactly is Gu Chen worried about??

Or did Gu Chen notice something?

Is he even human?

Jiang Yan’s face turned a bit pale.

She knew Gu Chen was good at lawsuits, but she didn’t expect Gu Chen to be this good.

Gu Chen came in and first brought out evidence, directly invoking the principle of recusal, even changing the presiding judge.

Lin Helong’s father, Lin Jianshu, was also sitting here, slightly worried.

Changing the presiding judge was a normal procedure.

Gu Chen immediately took control of the atmosphere, with a very strong presence.

"This case is not easy to handle.... In the second trial, will Gu Chen really exert himself? Why is this man completely different from the first trial?" Lin Jianshu’s face was somewhat pale.

They had even threatened Gu Chen before...

Although they have already been detained.

However, Gu Chen is indeed excellent in lawsuits, Lawless Madman... how could he not be great at lawsuits?

....

The live-stream viewers were all posting comments.

[6666666, Lawyer Gu is amazing!]

[Has Gu Chen stepped up his game? The Lawless Madman is in action!]

[He starts off strong! Lawyer Gu is invincible!!]

[This is what a professional lawyer is, consider how much preparation Gu Chen did for this case.]

[It’s fine, recusal is quite normal, no need to worry.]

[Let’s see what happens next... I wonder if Lawyer Gu can actually win this case.]

[It’s still crucial to see how the lawsuit is fought, a change in presiding judge isn’t important, the specific situation of the case matters.]

[Can he really win the case? Come on, Gu Chen!

[Don’t worry, the other lawyer is Zhang Wei, there’s still a chance with this case.]

[With Zhang Wei involved, are you still worried about losing the case?]

[Gu Chen and Zhang Wei teaming up! This case is bound to succeed!

[Rest assured, Zhang Wei’s consistency is as reliable as ever!

Soon, the new presiding judge arrived.

Presiding Judge Fang Ke, Judge Ding Yutong, Judge Zhao Tianqing.

Fang Ke began, "Plaintiff Xie Tongtong, Defendant Lin Helong, unsatisfied with the Kyoto Third Intermediate People’s Court’s judgment number 618, have filed a lawsuit in this court. In accordance with the ’Huaxia Civil Procedure Law’ and related legal provisions, this case will be publicly tried."

"Would the litigation parties please begin their statements." Fang Ke looked at Xie Tongtong and Gu Chen.

Gu Chen spoke, "Lin Helong has committed the crimes of intentional assault and abuse, with numerous incidents of domestic violence against Xie Tongtong over the past two years, leaving her severely disabled, with her left kidney permanently necrotic, and her duodenum ruptured..."

"And Lin Helong repeatedly threatened Xie Tongtong, with all threats having evidence, as well as multiple threats to the lawyer from Lin Helong and his family, clearly showing no remorse."

Gu Chen first stated the basic facts of the case.

Xie Tongtong also said, "Presiding judge, even if I don’t receive a single penny of compensation, I demand the death penalty for Lin Helong! If Lin Helong is not sentenced to death, I can’t imagine my future life, I’m scared... scared that after his release, he’d come after me again, attack me... seek revenge on me and my family, I’m terrified."

"I’m truly terrified, Lin Helong has impacted me greatly, I’ve been hospitalized multiple times, and now I just want fairness, I just want the perpetrator to receive the punishment he deserves!"

"If the perpetrator cannot be punished, then what should I do?"

"My future life, I fear, will never see the light, don’t know how much pain it will entail."

"Even if I have to abandon all my assets, I want Lin Helong to be punished! I want the death penalty for him! If people like him aren’t sentenced to death... what is my life worth?"

Gu Chen had prepared big moves for this lawsuit!

This was merely an opening salvo...

The real big moves came later!

Gu Chen didn’t activate the system for this case for nothing.

Moreover, before the lawsuit, Gu Chen had already given relevant evidence to the police!

Presiding Judge Fang Ke looked at the defendant, asking, "What arguments does the defendant’s lawyer have?"

By this time, many police officers had already arrived outside the courtroom.

Zhang Wei then spoke up.

Zhang Wei lifted his gaze, knowing that today he could only fulfill his client’s litigation request.

Lin Helong doesn’t want to go to jail, and if imprisoned, it shouldn’t exceed three years.

Zhang Wei would certainly do his utmost to fulfill his client’s litigation request.

Zhang Wei said, "It’s true that domestic violence by Lin Helong is illegal, but during the process from the first to the second trial, there are signs of remorse."

All the online viewers were bewildered.

Things were not as expected.

Did Zhang Wei really start to help defend?

This didn’t align with Zhang Wei’s litigation style.

Zhang Wei continued, "Presiding judge, but I have more important matters to report."

"Indeed, I’m a lawyer, and I should help defend Lin Helong."

"However, when I visited Lin Helong’s home, I found out what his family was doing...."

"I discovered that Lin Helong’s family committed criminal acts! The situation is serious! The value exceeds ten million and the quantity is extremely high! Just before entering the courtroom, I chose to call the police, and the evidence was provided to them."

"I don’t know the specific details of this case, but since I’ve discovered someone committing a crime, I’m obligated to report it, as it is my responsibility as a citizen," Zhang Wei stated.

At that moment... everyone stood up.

The police had already entered and arrested the criminal suspects, Lin Helong’s parents!

Lin Helong’s parents violated the law and have crossed the line!!

In this moment...

The entire courtroom was in shock!

No one had imagined that Lin Helong’s parents, along with Lin Helong himself, had committed other illegal acts!

Illegal activities cannot be done... Once committed, legal punishment is inevitable!

As Lin Helong’s parents were taken into custody, Lin Helong was wholly panicked.

It’s over...

Isn’t this completely over?

How could it turn out like this??

How did it end up like this?
