Chapter 551: Chapter 457: Trial Begins! This Case Is Too Easy for Gu Chen (Part 2)

Huang Rong is definitely not flustered.

At worst, she’ll go to court.

Who’s afraid of whom?

She’s already paid three hundred thousand in lawyer fees; how can she back down now?

....

Soon, there was only one day left before the court session.

Wang Zonglei called Huang Rong once again.

Huang Rong: "What do you mean?"

Wang Zonglei said, "This is your last chance. Today is the last chance. After today, it won’t be easy to withdraw the lawsuit. You better think it through! Today it’s seven hundred thousand! Seven hundred thousand and we can settle; I’m giving you a chance to settle. If you don’t pay seven hundred thousand in compensation, and we go to court tomorrow, I won’t even want the compensation; I just want to see you go to jail! You killed my mom, why shouldn’t you be sentenced to six or seven years? Haha... If you don’t compensate now, you better be ready to go to prison tomorrow."

Huang Rong said, "Talk is pointless, can you not call every day to harass me? I still have to work and have a job to do. If there’s anything, you can contact my lawyer. Do you need my lawyer’s number?"

Wang Zonglei said, "You’re really not afraid of going to prison, huh? See you in court then, don’t cry by then, and don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Once in court, whether you go to jail or not is out of my control. If you end up in jail, don’t come looking for me to write a letter of understanding. I’m telling you now, you have a chance; it’s seven hundred thousand now, but it’ll be a million in court. Think it through."

Huang Rong said, "Alright, I don’t mind. See you in court."

Wang Zonglei was so angry he ground his teeth and stomped his foot.

This Huang Rong, really doesn’t respond to soft or hard tactics.

If soft tactics won’t work, then let’s go to court.

Is he afraid of Huang Rong?

...

...

Gu Chen had already arrived in Luocheng with Xue Qingqing.

The trial was set to begin the next day.

Xue Qingqing said, "Boss, court’s tomorrow, get some rest early tonight."

Gu Chen said, "Hm, it’s okay. I’ve finally had a good rest these past few days, my energy is fully restored. There will definitely be no issues with the trial tomorrow."

Gu Chen felt in excellent condition now.

After this case is over, he’ll take a break again, and wait until the year-end Red Circle Law Firm selection to take on another case.

Gu Chen said, "That’s the decision. After tomorrow’s case, I’ll take half a year off, focus mainly on company matters, and make sure we grow the company big enough to strive for the Red Circle Law Firm by the end of the year! After the case, I need to pay more attention to the company’s affairs and properly mentor some students. Occasionally, I’ll take a case now and then."

"I won’t be taking on cases at such a high intensity anymore, constantly handling cases is also very tiring," said Gu Chen.

Xue Qingqing blinked, "Sounds good."

Gu Chen also primarily considered that he was the company owner...

Right now, the company is sprinting toward becoming a Red Circle Law Firm...

Everyone knows Gu Chen’s firm has a significant chance of becoming a Red Circle Law Firm.

However, before the year-end selection, nothing is guaranteed.

Gu Chen also needs to pay attention to these things.

Mainly because over the past year or so, Gu Chen had been handling cases non-stop.

Now, it’s time to take a break.

Gu Chen picked up the case file of Huang Rong and Wang Zonglei’s case.

Gu Chen had actually read through the case file once; he hadn’t studied the case during this period.

Mainly because this case was really too simple for Gu Chen.

There wasn’t much complexity, to the point where he didn’t even need to use the system.

Gu Chen could win this case himself.

However, Gu Chen would never guarantee a client that he could win a case; there’s no need.

Gu Chen said, "I’ve read through this case file, no major issues, just need to go up tomorrow to fight the case."

Xue Qingqing nodded, she certainly believed in her boss’s ability to handle cases.

Soon, it was the next day.

The court session was about to start!

The plaintiff entered first.

Wang Zonglei entered with his defense lawyer, Chen Debai.

Chen Debai, none other than a star lawyer from the well-known Fangda Law Firm in the industry!

Of course, Fangda Law Firm is the Xue family’s law firm...

Chen Debai is extremely skilled at legal cases; otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a star lawyer.

Gao Yong and Young Master Xue were watching the live broadcast.

Gao Yong exclaimed, "Chen Debai? Wow, that guy is going to court."

Young Master Xue said, "Chen Debai... seems like he’s our firm’s star lawyer, right? Quite capable, hasn’t lost a single case this year. Chen Debai has handled five cases this year and won them all. Extremely capable in the industry."

Gao Yong shook his head, "It’s useless, his opponent is Gu Chen, and this case isn’t easy for Chen Debai to handle at all."

Young Master Xue teased, "I remember before, every time you said Gu Chen’s cases were tough, what changed now?"

Gao Yong said, "Back then, the cases were indeed difficult. The cases Gu Chen picked were all high-difficulty, but in my view for this case, Huang Rong doesn’t need to bear any responsibility. It’s not a hard case. If I went up there, I’d win too, let alone Gu Chen handling it personally."

"Even if I took on this case against Chen Debai, he wouldn’t win."

Young Master Xue: "So confident?"

Gao Yong said, "Of course, I watch Gu Chen’s court videos every day to learn, do you think I’m watching the live stream because I’m bored? I’m also a star lawyer, you don’t think I’m useless, do you?"

Young Master Xue laughed, "How could I not know the level at which my brother can handle cases? By the way, how’s Qingqing’s relationship with Gu Chen developing?"

Gao Yong said, "Your sister has been at the law firm with Gu Chen for over a year now. Xue Qingqing has always been an assistant. Outwardly an assistant, but in reality, she’s an investor in the company... She’s considered quite a major shareholder in the company too."

"Gu Chen intended to give Xue Qingqing 51% of the shares, but Xue Qingqing didn’t want them. In the end, she only took 10%, all the rest were given to Gu Chen... She doesn’t want these shares at all, she doesn’t care about them..."

"She invested over a billion, just gave it to Gu Chen... Without Qingqing’s help, no matter how much Gu Chen developed on his own, the firm couldn’t possibly become a Red Circle Law Firm; it would have taken at least ten years. His strength alone is too weak, but with Qingqing’s network and funding support, the firm is developing rapidly now!"

Young Master Xue was filled with emotion, "Wow, my sister really likes Gu Chen so much... doesn’t even want the shares, just a little bit of them..."

Gao Yong said, "Of course, Gu Chen didn’t plan on taking shares. Xue Qingqing told me, Gu Chen initially wanted to give 90% of the company’s shares to Qingqing, he only wanted 10%, but Qingqing disagreed, then Gu Chen wanted to give 51% of the shares to Qingqing... and Qingqing still disagreed. In the end, Qingqing just wanted 10%, Gu Chen had no other choice...."

"Although Qingqing is an assistant, in reality, she holds very high regard in the company, no one truly sees Qingqing as just an assistant... Everyone in the company thinks the two of them are already together, but I heard last time that they still haven’t officially gotten together, haven’t taken that step."

Young Master Xue chuckled, helplessly.

Xue Qingqing is the only daughter in her family, and everyone absolutely adores her, everyone dotes on her.

As her brother... even if he’s just a cousin.

But he also hopes for Qingqing’s happiness....

How doted on is she at home?

Qingqing wanted a billion in funding from her family...

That’s cash flow!

Even a company valued at tens of billions might not easily be able to provide a billion in cash.

Qingqing got it from her family...

She even asked for network support, technical support, venue support from home...

In the end, Qingqing gave all those to Gu Chen....

But no one in the Xue family said anything against it.

In a normal family, how could you just give so much away, handing it over to someone else?

But Qingqing was willing...

So the Xue family didn’t say a word.
