Such a person, don’t even mention getting tripped by a suitcase...

Walking on the road, they might even trip over a stone...

They might even walk into a tree...

Who can they blame for that?

Blame the stone on the ground? Or the trees by the roadside?

Other people’s luggage is placed properly, and if you don’t watch where you’re going and bump into it, should you make others take responsibility? Is that reasonable?

If this case rules Huang Rong guilty...

Then does it mean everyone can intentionally bump into others’ suitcases afterwards?

After all, whether someone was tripped by a suitcase deliberately, who knows?

If someone intentionally bumps into a suitcase and then intentionally falls... they can extort a sum of money from the other party.

In this situation, who would dare to carry a suitcase outside in the future?

Who would dare to bring anything outside?

People could deliberately collide and then claim your things weren’t placed properly, demanding compensation...

Wouldn’t that encourage a trend of scamming?

There are already many people on the streets committing insurance fraud... profiting by scamming for money.

How is this behavior any different from scamming?

In any case, whenever someone bumps into a suitcase, the blame can be shifted to the person holding the suitcase.

They could go to the hospital, abandon treatment, and die... just to extort a large sum from the other party.

What if some people don’t want to live?

If someone finds life too boring and wants to leave money for their family, can they do the same?

Such a person could directly crash into someone’s suitcase... and demand a compensation of one or two million.

Gu Chen spoke up: "Scamming for compensation is unacceptable."

"If this case finds Wang Zonglei victorious, if it rules Huang Rong responsible...then in the future, people on the street could start scamming for others’ suitcases."

"There will be many more cases like this in the future..." Gu Chen said.

Chen Debai had nothing to say...

Fighting a case against Gu Chen is really stressful.

Chen Debai chose to keep his mouth shut.

He is indeed a star lawyer, but in this case, there is no room for him to speak anymore.

He has already used all the defense methods he could think of...

As for the final result, there’s nothing he can do.

If the case is lost, then it’s lost...

Wang Zonglei saw Chen Debai remain silent, and he started to get anxious.

The livestream audience began posting comments.

[Lawyer Gu is right, there’s no way Huang Rong should lose this case. If it rules against Huang Rong, I’ll just find a suitcase to scam tomorrow. Let’s see who dares to carry a suitcase... If I get tripped, I can go to the hospital for a free checkup, and someone else will foot the bill, hahaha.]

[I agree, scamming is scamming! Fan Lijun just didn’t watch where she was going and should take responsibility for herself.]

[Exactly, if Huang Rong intended to trip you, then she’d be responsible. But Huang Rong didn’t do it on purpose; her suitcase was behind her properly, and Fan Lijun just happened to bump into it. Who knows if Fan Lijun saw it or did it intentionally?]

[Regardless of what happened with Fan Lijun, she should take responsibility for herself. She fell, so she should account for it. Aren’t we all adults? Why shift blame?]

[Lawyer Gu put it brilliantly! The point is Fan Lijun is dead, so why should Huang Rong take responsibility? Brain hemorrhages can be treated, but it was Wang Zonglei who gave up the treatment and now wants Huang Rong to pay. Does that make any sense? It’s unheard of.]

The audience was speechless.

Everyone could see, it was obvious that Wang Zonglei was trying to extort money.

Otherwise, Wang Zonglei wouldn’t have chosen to abandon treatment.

Trying to pin the cause of Fan Lijun’s death on Huang Rong.

But what does this have to do with Huang Rong?

Huang Rong is also a victim.

She was just standing there, waiting in line to check her ticket. If someone bumps into her, why should she pay millions in compensation? What kind of reasoning is this?

Where does this kind of rationale come from? It doesn’t exist!

Wang Zonglei said: "I don’t care; should Huang Rong not take responsibility? Is the suitcase not Huang Rong’s? If it bumped into Huang Rong’s suitcase, she should be responsible! If she didn’t bring a suitcase, would my mom have tripped? It wasn’t even placed in a proper position!"

"Huang Rong must pay! Otherwise, I’ll keep fighting the case in the first trial, second trial, and all the way! Huang Rong must compensate!!"

"Not a penny less than a million! My mom died because of Huang Rong, Huang Rong, doesn’t your conscience hurt? You damn killed someone, and you’re not taking responsibility?"

Gu Chen opened: "My client has no responsibility, and the deceased was not killed by my client. Moreover, your use of uncivil language in the courtroom, Judge, I protest. The plaintiff is assaulting my client verbally, which I believe is disrupting court order."

Judge Rong Liwei nodded, "The plaintiff is warned once; do not assault others in the courtroom, disrupting the court order will affect the court’s judgment."

Wang Zonglei: "....."

Wang Zonglei was utterly furious.

Fan Lijun passed away, and yet Huang Rong doesn’t intend to pay a dime?

Why?

Besides, lawyer Chen Debai had said there is still a good chance of winning this case.

Gu Chen stood up.

Gu Chen decided to try and see if he could get Wang Zonglei into trouble.

Based on the evidence submitted by Huang Rong, Wang Zonglei repeatedly called Huang Rong, demanding money.

Otherwise, he told her to watch out....

There were many similar statements.

Although Gu Chen knew that this case alone was not enough to convict Wang Zonglei.

Put bluntly, Wang Zonglei was trying to extort money.

However, through this case, Wang Zonglei could openly claim civil compensation...

Therefore, in this case, Wang Zonglei was not involved in extortion.

But actually, it was extortion, it’s just that the court couldn’t convict Wang Zonglei.

Wang Zonglei just insisted on demanding compensation, leaving no recourse.

However... that doesn’t mean Gu Chen couldn’t get Wang Zonglei locked up.

Gu Chen spoke up: "During this period, Wang Zonglei called Huang Rong daily, demanding a compensation of one million, or else... telling her to watch out."

"Such statements have already caused some personal threat to Huang Rong, such expressions would cause psychological fear to Huang Rong."

"I believe this behavior is nearing extortion of Huang Rong, as Wang Zonglei used words to coerce Huang Rong multiple times, forcing her to hand over money, which is an act of extortion."

Wang Zonglei: "???"

No, what’s with Gu Chen trying to get him put away?

What does Gu Chen mean?

At this moment, Chen Debai spoke: "Even though Wang Zonglei had those threatening statements, he only believes his mother’s death was due to Huang Rong, requiring her to compensate civically, so he demanded a million only to cover medical expenses, mental damages, burial costs, etc."

"In reality, Wang Zonglei did not perform any actual threatening behavior, and at most there were verbal offenses. Wang Zonglei didn’t take any action, nor was there any genuine threatening action taken, so he hasn’t committed a crime, much less extortion."

Chen Debai still had some capability.

This case, he couldn’t handle it, but he expected to lose it.

But Gu Chen’s attempt to put Wang Zonglei in jail, just by this point, wasn’t possible.

Chen Debai wouldn’t let his client end up in jail like this...

After all, he’s also a star lawyer.

Unless Wang Zonglei actually committed a crime...

Otherwise, based on these phone calls alone, it’s impossible to convict Wang Zonglei of extortion...

Because extorting a hundred million means over ten years of prison...

Wang Zonglei sneered, and said: "Gu Chen you’re just ridiculing, who do you think you are? Trying to convict me and send me to jail? You think you can? Where did I extort? Judge, can anyone who doesn’t understand anything be a defense lawyer now? I suspect Gu Chen’s professionalism as a lawyer! Was Gu Chen’s law degree bought?"

Wang Zonglei figured he might lose this case too...

What was there to fear in court?

He was just going to lash out at Gu Chen!

If he has the skills, let him put him in jail!

If not, why pretend to be something special?
