Third trial!!
It’s the final trial!!
This final trial is the very last lawsuit for this case.
The court has approved it....
Reopening the hearing!
Relaunching the lawsuit!
But to reopen the hearing, major relevant evidence must be submitted; otherwise, the second trial will be the final one.
Lawyer Gu took over the case, and the court’s announcement of reopening the trial quickly spread across the internet.
[????]
[Damn, Wang Zhihao’s case is being handled by Lawyer Gu?]
[Here comes the Lawless Madman again!]
[Lawyer Gu! The best!]
[As soon as Lawyer Gu took over this case, I knew... Wang Zhihao could win!]
[Damn, Wang Zhihao is really miserable, having three kids who aren’t his, his wife cheating on him, lost the car and house to her, it’s tragic, and on top of that, he has to pay child support.]
[Don’t know how the court ruled, but Lawyer Gu is stepping in for this lawsuit! It’s the final trial! This trial will be something to see!]
Netizens are posting one after another.
This lawsuit... is about to begin!
And this lawsuit is also being livestreamed to the entire internet.
Quickly, more and more netizens began paying attention to this case.
That’s when they realized how truly unfortunate Wang Zhihao is.
He worked hard at the construction site, handing over his salary every month, only to find out after over a decade of marriage that the three kids aren’t biologically his...
He handed his salary over for more than ten years, and his wife transferred the money to her brother to buy a house and get married, while blaming him for not earning enough.
After everything happened, Wang Zhihao couldn’t afford a lawyer, and he lost the lawsuit!
He lost the first trial, lost the second trial as well.
How is this fair?
Meanwhile, Zhou Wenjing started livestreaming to sell goods, using the hype to make money.
In contrast, Wang Zhihao ended up with nothing... and has to pay to raise other people’s children every month.
After learning the backstory, netizens voiced their support for Wang Zhihao.
Especially since even the Lawless Madman Gu Chen took on this case.
What further infuriated the netizens....
Was that after Zhou Wenjing’s livestreams began, she started fabricating stories, badmouthing Wang Zhihao.
Wang Zhihao was just a migrant worker, toiling away on the construction site...
But in Zhou Wenjing’s eyes, Wang Zhihao was full of flaws.
There were even hordes of Little Fairies defending Zhou Wenjing.
[Of course we have to defend Zhou Wenjing, what’s wrong with that?]
[Zhou Wenjing gave birth to three children, taking care of them daily isn’t exhausting? Even if you ignore the facts, you think Wang Zhihao didn’t make any mistakes?]
[How could Wang Zhihao be completely faultless? The court already ruled! Both the first and second trials reached a decision, do you think the judges were wrong? They made mistakes?]
[Zhou Wenjing did cheat, but wasn’t it because of Wang Zhihao? Wasn’t it because of his domestic violence? If I were Zhou Wenjing, I’d cheat too.]
[Zhou Wenjing did nothing wrong; the judge has ruled, so why are there so many people online trying to whitewash it, disregarding the court’s judgment?]
[Believe in the court! Zhou Wenjing did nothing wrong, Wang Zhihao must be at fault, otherwise why would the court rule that way?]
[I’m not sure if Lawyer Gu can win this case. He’s good at criminal cases; is he good at civil ones?]
....
Three days later!
The court announced the trial opening!
This time, it’s the National Supreme Court, conducting the final trial!
Half an hour before the trial, the livestream had already gathered tens of thousands of people.
[It’s starting! It’s starting!]
[Wang Zhihao has to win this case! If he loses, it’s all over.]
[Surely they can’t make him pay child support, right?]
[With Lawyer Gu’s help, how could this case possibly be lost?]
[The crux is whether Lawyer Gu can handle civil cases, as he’s more experienced with criminal law.]
[That’s a possibility. This case might have many hidden details. Otherwise, why lose both the first and second trials?]
For today’s case, Gu Chen arrived at the court early.
Xue Qingqing was beside him, and Wang Zhihao took his place at the plaintiff’s stand.
Meanwhile, the defendant’s lawyer hadn’t arrived yet, but the defendant, Zhou Wenjing, had.
Seeing Wang Zhihao still pursuing the lawsuit, Zhou Wenjing frowned and said, "This loser, all he knows is lawsuits, wasting my time. The court has ruled in the first and second trials, why are you still litigating?"
Zhou Wenjing aggressively approached Wang Zhihao and said.
Wang Zhihao lowered his head and said, "I don’t want to pay child support. Those three kids aren’t mine. Can’t we at least talk about it? I’ve given you the house and car, walked away with nothing, why still demand child support? Even if you need support, ask the real fathers of the three kids. I have no money! How can I afford child support?"
Zhou Wenjing: "?"
Zhou Wenjing pointed a finger at Wang Zhihao’s head, "I’m telling you, Wang Zhihao, you must pay child support! How dare you even think about not paying? Look at how you’ve treated me at home!"
"You think you can avoid paying child support? On what grounds? I don’t care if you can earn money or not! Haven’t the kids called you ’dad’? Once you’re called ’dad,’ you owe child support!"
"And you divorced me when I was pregnant? You treat me like this?"
Zhou Wenjing had three children and was pregnant with the fourth.
Back then, Wang Zhihao didn’t know Zhou Wenjing had cheated.
Wang Zhihao had nothing to say and let Zhou Wenjing go through with the pregnancy.
It was only after an argument that Wang Zhihao discovered that the three kids weren’t biologically his...
Then came the paternity test... divorce, lawsuits...
Over time, Zhou Wenjing had another child.
"Is the fourth child mine?" Wang Zhihao asked Zhou Wenjing.
"Whether it’s yours or not, you have to pay support anyway! If you’re going to litigate, then do it! Now you’ll pay support for all four! Do you know how great my lawyer is? My lawyer specializes in these cases! She’s had countless victories, you’re doomed today!"
"If you don’t pay, you’ll go to jail!" Zhou Wenjing continued.
Wang Zhihao: "?"
Not paying child support sends him to jail?
Wang Zhihao said, "Zhou Wenjing, I can’t pay child support, and I won’t. Let me and the fourth child have a paternity test. If the child is mine, I’ll pay support; if not, I won’t pay a dime!"
"If that doesn’t work, then let’s go to court!"
"Even if I lose, so what? I’m broke! No house, no car, my parents are gone, what am I afraid of? I’m broke, what can you do about it?"
Wang Zhihao suddenly grew bold.
He feared nothing.
Despite losing twice in court, he wasn’t scared at all.
He’s prepared for anything, refusing to pay, and what can Zhou Wenjing do about it?
