Gu Chen: "???
This is absurdity knocking at the door; it’s utterly out of hand.
Zhou Wenjing took the money Wang Zhihao gave her and used it to buy a house for her brother?
What?
Gu Chen remembered Wang Zhihao got injured at the construction site a while ago, which counts as a work injury.
Gu Chen asked, "You got injured some time ago, did the construction site compensate you?"
Wang Zhihao nodded, "They paid 150,000 yuan."
Gu Chen asked, "Where did the money from the construction site go?"
Wang Zhihao: "I gave it to Zhou Wenjing... At that time, I hadn’t done the paternity test yet."
Gu Chen continued to ask, "So, where did the money go?"
Wang Zhihao: "Zhou Wenjing said she transferred the money to her brother, saying he needed it for a bride price and to renovate a house, and even asked me to give more for her brother."
Gu Chen: "??????"
Gu Chen: "Isn’t it, Brother Wang, how can you put up with this?"
Wang Zhihao sighed, "Oh, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given her the money; now I can’t get it back."
Wang Zhihao said, "There’s no way around it, Lawyer Gu. My only request now is... just don’t let me pay child support for those three. I can’t bear it; they aren’t my kids, and I won’t spend another cent on them."
Gu Chen: "...."
No, if he’s just here for this lawsuit and this is his request, he doesn’t even need to make a move.
Why pay child support if they aren’t his biological children?
Gu Chen could handle this case with his eyes closed.
Gu Chen said, "Alright, I roughly understand the situation."
"But I’ll say this: if this is your lawsuit request, I won’t take the case. Even if I win, it feels like losing."
Who makes lawsuit requests like this?
Going through the trouble to appeal three times, for this request?
Does this really require Gu Chen to step in personally?
Gu Chen said, "Brother Wang, since I’m taking this case, trust in my ability."
"Just cooperate with what I say, I’ll handle the lawsuit request, you just need to cooperate with me."
"I’m the kind of person who can’t stand this kind of thing, otherwise I wouldn’t be here taking this case for free."
"Come on, let’s sign a contract."
Gu Chen took out a contract.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen said, "Brother Wang, I’ll be upfront with you: the attorney litigation fee in this contract is 400,000 yuan, but I won’t take a single cent from you."
"As long as we win the case, this money will have to be claimed from Zhou Wenjing. If the contract states nothing, then we wouldn’t be able to claim this part from Zhou Wenjing, you understand, right?"
Wang Zhihao didn’t mind.
After all, he has nothing left now...
And Lawyer Gu helping him fight this case for free, he is already content.
He only has about 500 yuan on him now.
yuan wouldn’t even be enough to hire a lawyer!
Gu Chen said, "I’ve got the situation under control. Leave the case to me, and don’t be disheartened about marriage. Although Little Fairy types are many, there are still many good people out there."
"I’ll find Qingqing later, have her introduce you to someone, and then you two can remarry. Take care of your health, recover, and then get back to work. If there’s no work, you can work at my law firm, we’re in need of security. With your build, you’d make a good one."
Gu Chen was really looking out for Wang Zhihao.
Hearing Gu Chen’s words, Wang Zhihao knelt down in front of Gu Chen.
"Lawyer Gu, I don’t have money, but I’m really grateful to you."
"Thank you, Lawyer Gu... Whether or not we win this case, just by being willing to help, I will always remember your kindness. If you ever need my help, just call, I don’t need money, just some food." Said Wang Zhihao.
A grown man like Wang Zhihao had tears in his eyes at this moment.
Gu Chen patted Wang Zhihao on the shoulder.
"Alright, that’s enough for now, stay in touch by phone, I’m going to prepare the case now, and prepare materials for the final appeal." Gu Chen said earnestly.
After meeting with Wang Zhihao, Gu Chen called Xue Qingqing.
"Boss." Xue Qingqing answered the call.
"How’s the material preparation going?" Gu Chen asked.
"Boss, the materials are ready, but to go for a final appeal, we need to submit the evidence first, only with the evidence can we proceed to the final appeal. This case is just a civil one; a final appeal would be relatively challenging." Xue Qingqing said.
"No worries, we’ll make a trip to the court and familiarize ourselves with the case files. I already have the evidence, and when we submit it, I’ll take on this case. If Zhou Wenjing doesn’t behave herself in court, if she’s still this arrogant, I’ll find a way to put her inside." Gu Chen said.
Xue Qingqing: "?????"
Xue Qingqing was a bit shocked inside.
This is a civil case...
The boss plans to put Zhou Wenjing inside?
If Zhou Wenjing goes to jail, it would shift from a civil case to a criminal one.
But infidelity... wearing a green hat is just a moral issue, not illegal.
Xue Qingqing was surprised, but she didn’t say anything.
She knew how formidable her boss was.
Now the boss is just proceeding with the lawsuit related to this case.
If Xue Qingqing really argues unreasonably in court...
The boss might genuinely want to investigate Xue Qingqing thoroughly.
If the boss says he’ll put someone inside, he really can!
The nickname "Lawless Madman" isn’t for nothing.
.....
Bringing Xue Qingqing to the court, Gu Chen immediately accessed the case files for the two cases.
After going through the files, Gu Chen did a lot of research and preparation.
When Gu Chen arrived at the court, many of the staff there recognized him....
"Did you see that? Lawyer Gu is here at our court, seems like he’s investigating the Wang Zhihao case."
"Huh? Isn’t Wang Zhihao’s case already concluded after the second appeal? Wasn’t it closed?"
"That’s the Lawless Madman for you, Lawyer Gu has stepped in... I haven’t asked him yet, but I think there’s a possibility this case is heading for a final appeal!"
"It’s really outrageous. All three kids of Wang Zhihao weren’t his, yet he’s still being made to pay child support... Maybe Lawyer Gu couldn’t stand it and came to take on the case himself."
"Would Lawyer Gu actually put Zhou Wenjing inside?"
"Not likely, it’s just a civil suit, how could Zhou Wenjing be put away? It’s merely civil disputes, infidelity isn’t a crime... In today’s world, seeing cases of infidelity is hardly shocking anymore."
"Lawyer Gu wants to put Zhou Wenjing inside... That’s absolutely impossible, at most he’d argue for Wang Zhihao’s rights in court, how can it be that the woman cheats but the man has to leave with nothing?"
Some of the courthouse staff were privately discussing when they saw Gu Chen.
After Gu Chen finished his investigation, he submitted all the materials and evidence to the court!
For Wang Zhihao’s case, Gu Chen chose to appeal!!
Final Appeal!
