Gao Sheng didn’t even think twice and directly said, "We’ll leave this case to Lawyer Gu. We believe Lawyer Gu can definitely handle it well. Li Ranran is such a vicious woman! There’s absolutely no way my son could have raped her; she’s definitely setting him up. If we can prove my son’s innocence and have him released without charges, that would be great."

Thinking of Li Ranran, both Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi felt a surge of anger.

Their son is still in detention... all because of Li Ranran!

They treated Li Ranran so well, and yet she turned around and sent Gao Jiantong to prison.

This kind of woman still tries every means to claim their family assets!

Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi were disgusted, even wishing they could make Li Ranran vanish immediately.

As long as they could win this case, they wouldn’t mind giving up all their property.

All just to see Gao Jiantong released without charges.

They need to prove Gao Jiantong’s innocence!

Li Ranran falsely accused others and managed to get Gao Jiantong imprisoned...

The question is, did Gao Jiantong really commit rape?

Even though the first trial has already sentenced, the case isn’t fully settled.

We have to wait for the second trial!!

The second trial is the last chance!

Soon, the law firm and Gao Sheng signed the contract.

Xue Qingqing held the contract and smiled, "Uncle Gao, Aunt Zhang, I look forward to working with you."

Gao Sheng quickly said, "Stay and have some food. I’ll hire the best chef to make a grand feast for you. You came all the way here, and we haven’t even properly entertained you."

Gao Sheng knew Xue Qingqing’s position well; she was no ordinary assistant.

Xue Qingqing smiled sweetly and said, "No need, I’ll take the contract back, then follow my boss to investigate the case. As for dinner... let’s wait until the case is over and then treat both me and my boss."

Gao Sheng nodded, "That’s fine too, I’ll have a driver take you back."

Xue Qingqing said, "No worries, our company has a driver, Uncle Gao. Just keep in touch for follow-ups. My boss and I might contact you anytime, so let’s focus on the case. Time is of the essence, we have to get to work now."

Gao Sheng said, "Alright, my son’s case is in your hands."

After Xue Qingqing left.

Zhang Qi said, "Is Gu Chen confident in taking our case? Gu Chen is not exactly a top-tier lawyer compared to industry leaders. For the price we’re paying, we could hire the best lawyer out there."

Especially in the top eight Red Circle Law Firms, for two million, no matter how prominent the lawyer, they could find them to handle the case.

Gao Sheng said, "I think there’s no issue. If even Gu Chen can’t win this case for us, then our son is really doomed to prison, and no one can help. Just think about it, would Xue Qingqing work as an assistant for just anyone? Xue Qingqing has already become a very excellent lawyer herself, yet she continues to learn under Gu Chen..."

"Moreover, have you not noticed the relationship between Xue Qingqing and Gu Chen? Two young people spending every day together, if there’s nothing between them, I wouldn’t believe it," Gao Sheng said.

"Besides, Gu Chen has never lost a case so far; every case he has handled, he has won. Many top-tier lawyers can’t even compare to him. This track record is quite impressive," Gao Sheng said.

He still had great confidence in Gu Chen...

Lawyer Gu personally stepped in to take their case...

Gao Sheng was already very happy.

After all, in the law firm, it wasn’t as if there were no other top-tier lawyers, yet Gu Chen personally decided to take the case...

Zhang Qi said happily, "Then our son has hope?"

Gao Sheng said, "There’s hope, we can only pin all our hopes on Gu Chen."

....

....

Gu Chen took over the case.

Gu Chen went directly to the Intermediate People’s Court to review the case files.

The staff member there was named Zhao Min.

When Zhao Min saw Gu Chen arrived, she greeted him warmly, "Hello Lawyer Gu, is there anything you need help with?"

Gu Chen said, "I’m here to review the case files for the Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran case."

Zhao Min was somewhat surprised and said, "Lawyer Gu, aren’t you becoming the defense lawyer for Gao Jiantong’s case?"

Seeing Gu Chen did not deny it, Zhao Min said, "Lawyer Gu, this case is rather tricky - a marital rape case. I’ve seen that the first trial has already given a sentence with solid evidence. The files are here, and we’ve also been discussing this case lately."

Gu Chen said, "The case isn’t entirely settled yet, we still need to wait for the second trial; the key is understanding the truth."

Zhao Min quickly nodded, "You’re absolutely right, Lawyer Gu. If you need any assistance, feel free to contact me."

Gu Chen nodded, "Okay."

After reviewing the files, Gu Chen fully understood the case.

A month ago, Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran were resting at home.

At two o’clock in the morning, Li Ranran chose to call the police, claiming that Gao Jiantong raped her.

The police arrived at the scene and took Gao Jiantong for investigation.

The matter quickly escalated. After that, Li Ranran began demanding a divorce and claiming property.

After a month of legal battle, the result of the first trial came out.

Gao Jiantong was sentenced to three years.

Li Ranran filed for divorce from Gao Jiantong. The court ruled for the divorce and due to Gao Jiantong’s fault, awarded Li Ranran seventy percent of their marital assets, approximately valued at sixteen million.
