Wang Zonglei’s father is very anxious.

And the rest of Wang Zonglei’s family is also very anxious.

Now Wang Zonglei is completely doomed.

Even if his son committed a crime and will have to serve such a long sentence, Wang Zonglei’s father still can’t accept it.

Immediately, Wang Zonglei’s father sought out Gu Chen, hoping that Gu Chen could help defend Wang Zonglei in court.

After all, everyone knows how strong Gu Chen’s ability to handle court cases is....

Wang Zonglei’s father still has some money, and if he could hire Gu Chen for legal help, he felt there shouldn’t be a problem.

Anyway, Gu Chen is a lawyer, and with money, how could he not be able to hire Gu Chen for the case?

After all, the conflict between Wang Zonglei and Huang Rong is one case....

And Wang Zonglei’s crime and imprisonment is a completely new case.

As long as Gu Chen is willing to help defend, he’s willing to pay any lawyer’s fee.

Wang Zonglei’s father found Gu Chen and said, "Lawyer Gu, I can offer three hundred thousand, can you help defend my son in court? Help my son apply for a plea for leniency."

"My son did break the law and should serve time... I just want his sentence to be lighter. Lawyer Gu, can you help with the defense? My son still needs a lawyer..."

"This case doesn’t conflict with Huang Rong’s. The issue with Huang Rong is with her; our family still respects Lawyer Gu very much," Wang Zonglei’s father said to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen doesn’t have any deep-seated enmity with Wang Zonglei’s father either.

But he doesn’t take on just any case.

Even if the offer is high, sometimes Gu Chen won’t take these cases.

Gu Chen said, "I’m a bit busy lately, the firm’s matters are piling up, so I’m not taking this case. If Wang Zonglei wants a defense, he can find another law firm."

Gu Chen didn’t want to get involved in this mess.

He had just provided evidence in court to send Wang Zonglei in.

Coupled with the police’s investigation results and evidence that were uncovered...

Now, sending Wang Zonglei in is a certainty.

For Gu Chen to now defend Wang Zonglei just for the money?

That’s impossible.

Not to mention, Gu Chen isn’t in dire need of this lawyer’s fee...

Even many famous companies have offered him millions annually to join them, and Gu Chen declined.

The ones looking for Gu Chen are big companies, offering equity incentives....

And Gu Chen ended up not joining any of them.

He takes cases just because he is a lawyer...

Currently, Gu Chen is still a university professor, needs to attend classes, and is also the company head, so he has a lot on his plate.

Gu Chen can’t take on just any case like before.

Now, Gu Chen takes on cases only if he feels like it.

The amount of the lawyer’s fee doesn’t mean much to Gu Chen anymore.

Wang Zonglei’s father said, "I can offer four hundred thousand lawyer’s fee, can you consider that?"

Gu Chen said, "I’m not taking this case, I’m temporarily not taking any cases."

Gu Chen directly and clearly refused.

Wang Zonglei’s father sighed.

It’s over...

What has Wang Zonglei done?

If Wang Zonglei hadn’t confronted Lawyer Gu in court, nor sued Huang Rong, potentially, after this case broke out, hiring Lawyer Gu, Lawyer Gu might have taken the case.

Wang Zonglei thought for a moment, then decided to find other lawyers in Gu Chen’s firm for the case.

After all, Gu Chen’s firm is large; finding other lawyers should be possible, right?

There are so many lawyers in Gu Chen’s firm....

It’s not possible that because Gu Chen isn’t taking the case, everyone in the firm won’t take it either, right?

Initially, when Wang Zonglei’s father tried to find another lawyer in Gu Chen’s firm for this case...

Many lawyers wouldn’t take it up either.

After all, Wang Zonglei directly cursed at the boss in court...

If the boss refused this case, how could they possibly take it?

Later, Gu Chen stated in the firm that any lawyer willing could take this case.

After all, the price offered by Wang Zonglei’s father was quite high.

As for Wang Zonglei dissing Gu Chen in court... Gu Chen didn’t care anymore.

He had already sent Wang Zonglei in, the two were even now.

If a client comes in offering a high price for a single case, why not take it?

Even if Gu Chen doesn’t take the case, other lawyers in the firm can.

Even if they lose the case, and someone online stirs the pot....

Gu Chen doesn’t care about such small matters.

Running a law firm.... winning and losing cases is quite normal, isn’t it?

No law firm can assert they win a hundred percent of their cases.

Gu Chen was completely indifferent.

After Gu Chen spoke, a lawyer in the firm took the case.

Wang Zonglei’s father was ecstatic.

He felt his son now had a chance.

But in Gu Chen’s view, whoever defended made no difference.

Wang Zonglei committed a crime....

Breaking the law means facing legal consequences.

Wang Zonglei’s case itself wasn’t eligible for leniency; the outcome would be the same, no matter which lawyer took it.

Even if Gu Chen took the case, he couldn’t help reduce Wang Zonglei’s sentence; after all, Gu Chen is just an ordinary lawyer.

If other lawyers in the firm take it, so be it, Gu Chen couldn’t care less.

When a client offers a high price, the firm’s other employees can handle the case.

And after this case, Gu Chen decided to take a break for a while.
