Losing the lawsuit proves that this case is not simple.

So when it came to the second trial, Gao Sheng didn’t hesitate and directly spent two million to hire the best lawyer at Gu Chen Law Firm.

Because if he lost the second trial, Gao Jiantong would have no chance to overturn the case.

Many star lawyers did not feel confident about this case.

However, some star lawyers in the firm volunteered to take it on.

After careful consideration, Xue Qingqing decided to put the case on hold.

The firm doesn’t lack cases right now, and many cases come to Gu Chen Law Firm to be litigated.

But such a significant lawsuit... with such high public opinion and difficulty, Xue Qingqing thought it over and decided to give the case materials to Gu Chen for the final decision.

....

After Gu Chen arrived at the firm, he saw the materials for this case on the table.

After reading them, Gu Chen immediately decided to take on the case.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Gu Chen even opened the system to check this case.

Even without checking the system, Gu Chen was confident about this lawsuit.

He was different from other star lawyers; although they are all top lawyers, the methods in handling different cases vary, leading to different outcomes.

Of course, Gao Sheng didn’t just hire one law firm for the case.

Gao Sheng contacted several law firms and planned to decide on the lawyer after reviewing the options.

Many lawyers, after taking on the case, had to meet Gao Sheng personally and persuade him to collaborate with their firm.

Quite a few Red Circle Law Firms were calling to contact Gao Sheng...

The eight top Red Circle Law Firms in the country all contacted Gao Sheng to take on the lawsuit.

The lawyers they sent were without exception top lawyers within the firms, each experienced in countless battles.

Du Jingguang, a star lawyer, also wanted to handle this case.

Many firms sent people for face-to-face meetings with Gao Sheng, fearing they couldn’t secure the case.

After all, the attorney’s fee for this case is two million!

Many times, firms wait for years without getting such a big case!

Once accepted, the firm profits massively.

Red Circle Law Firms also need performance, and they also need to grab cases.

For a two-million case, there are countless lawyers trying to grab it.

Only Gu Chen Law Firm didn’t send someone to contact Gao Sheng.

Gao Sheng was at the firm, and today he already met top lawyers from eight Red Circle Law Firms.

All these lawyers introduced themselves, spoke about their past litigation achievements, and expressed confidence in the Gao Jiantong case....

Gao Sheng met star lawyers from eight firms...

He was still waiting for news.

He was waiting for news from Xue Qingqing.

To see what kind of lawyer Gu Chen’s law firm could send.

Gao Sheng’s wife, Zhang Qi, was also somewhat troubled.

Zhang Qi said, "These lawyers say the same things. They talk about how professional their firm is and how many cases they’ve handled before... listening to this gives me a headache, didn’t the lawyer for the first trial say the same things? Yet, after the trial, the lawsuit was still lost."

Gao Sheng smiled, "They all want to take this case. After all, our offer is two million. The case is just so disgusting; I’ve never seen a woman as disgusting as Li Ranran. At home, we provide her with good food and drink; my son’s annual salary is two to three million, giving her a monthly living allowance of ten thousand, yet she’s still not satisfied. We hired a nanny, and she lives in a villa, yet she’s still not satisfied and even reported my son to the police!"

Gao Sheng’s gaze turned cold, "Despite my son having over twenty million worth of assets over the years, the first trial verdict awarded eighty percent of my son’s wealth to that Li Ranran. Does she like setting up schemes for my son? For the second trial, I’m hiring the best lawyer nationwide to ruin Li Ranran’s reputation!"

Zhang Qi said, "Ruining her reputation is still tough; right now, what worries us is our son. I’ve lost interest in dealing with Li Ranran. Our son cannot be imprisoned! If he’s jailed for three years, his life will be ruined, and all three children will go to Li Ranran. Why? Why did all three children get awarded to Li Ranran? They’re our family’s children!"

Gao Sheng said, "These so-called star lawyers boast about how great they are, boast about their Red Circle Law Firms, but when asked about their chances in this case, they all fall silent. One lawyer even said he’d try to help my son get a reduced sentence. Why would I want such a useless lawyer? If one can’t be a lawyer, one shouldn’t be."

What’s most challenging in this case is... on Gao Jiantong’s side, he is the guilty party.

Plus, it was Li Ranran who called the police, accusing him of rape.

If Li Ranran dared to report, it means she’s prepared evidence.

It turned out exactly as Li Ranran expected; she indeed prepared all the evidence.

All the evidence was submitted to the police, and after investigation, they found the evidence to be authentic, immediately going to trial.

The court eventually sentenced....

Setting aside whether the evidence is real or not, the court has already convicted....

The hardest part now is...

How can we win this case?

How can we get Gao Jiantong acquitted?

Li Ranran is adamant about the rape charge, and additionally wants a divorce, division of property, and custody battle. This one-two punch is tough to withstand for the average person.

Mainly, Li Ranran’s side is overly aggressive, insisting on acknowledging the rape.

No matter how nicely this issue is talked over in private, it doesn’t work.

Getting Li Ranran to write a letter of forgiveness is impossible... no amount of money can persuade her.

Now, Gao Jiantong’s demands are that he doesn’t want to go to jail and wants to fight for custody, but it’s too difficult.

If Gao Jiantong is imprisoned, he won’t be able to fight for custody.

The court won’t award custody of three children to an imprisoned individual.

No matter how wealthy Gao Jiantong is...

The court would only award the three children to follow Gao Jiantong.

Moreover, Li Ranran demands that Gao Jiantong provide three thousand per month as child support for the three children, although the court has not supported this and only awarded two thousand as child support.

What’s troubling Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi now is...

They suspect Li Ranran wants to fight for custody just to obtain child support.

Two thousand monthly child support, amounting to 24,000 yearly.

Li Ranran also stated, that to give up inheritance rights is simple....

Li Ranran demands Gao Sheng give her ten million.

Once she receives ten million, she’ll renounce custody of the three children...

But Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi aren’t stupid.

How could they possibly give ten million to Li Ranran?

In their divorce, Li Ranran already took away over sixteen million in assets.

Now she demands ten million to give up the three children?

Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi both cherish these three children.

And Li Ranran, precisely targeting this point, has manipulated the entire Gao family.

Two thousand monthly child support is just the start...

Later, want to see the kids? Pay up.

And because of these three children, Li Ranran believes Gao’s family will continuously provide her with money.

Li Ranran refuses to give up custody unless given ten million outright.

But how hard is it to earn ten million these days?

No one is a fool; nobody would give ten million to their adversary.

Even in a typical divorce, it’s impossible to pay this much....

Especially since Li Ranran personally sent Gao Jiantong to prison?

...

Just when Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi were in distress.

A phone call came in.

The caller was Xue Qingqing.

Xue Qingqing said, "Hello Uncle Gao and Aunt Zhang, I’m Xue Qingqing, Gu Chen’s assistant~~"

Few others know, but Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi are acquainted with Xue Qingqing.

The only daughter of the Xue Family, the Xue Family heiress...

The family’s assets have surpassed ten billion, the sole daughter of the family...

The family’s enterprises span across various industries...

Of course, a major part of the Xue Family is specialized in the legal industry.

Xue Qingqing’s grandfather, Xue Yaoting, runs one of the nation’s top three Red Circle Law Firms — Fangda Law Firm!

And Xue Qingqing herself works alongside Gu Chen as his assistant.

In terms of position, Xue Qingqing is Gu Chen’s assistant.

But in reality... Xue Qingqing is the Xue Family’s heiress.

And most importantly...

Xue Qingqing is currently serving as Gu Chen’s assistant.

In over a year, Gu Chen Law Firm grew rapidly, reaching the scale of a Red Circle Law Firm, although not yet officially designated as one due to lacking year-end assessments.

Yet it is well-known that Gu Chen Law Firm truly has become a Red Circle Law Firm!

Ranking first nationwide may not be achievable yet, but becoming a Red Circle Law Firm is guaranteed.

Without Xue Qingqing’s efforts behind the scenes, even if Gu Chen started his practice, it wouldn’t reach Red Circle Law Firm standards in ten years.

Gu Chen is further a celebrity in the legal circle...

Since his debut, he has held a 100% success rate in lawsuits!

Gu Chen holds another title, known to all netizens —

Lawless Madman!
