Chapter 574: Chapter 469: Gu Chen Takes the Case! Xie Tongtong’s Hope!

Du Jingguang thought for a moment and felt that even Gu Chen couldn’t get a death sentence.

Du Jingguang shook his head, "You’re talking about Gu Chen, Gu Chen is my idol, but... how should I say it, not to mention Gu Chen has stopped taking cases, he won’t step in anymore, but even if Gu Chen helped in this case, it’s not possible to secure a death sentence."

Du Jingguang no longer dared to badmouth Gu Chen.

He used to think about badmouthing Gu Chen in various ways...

But Gu Chen never gave him the chance, because Gu Chen won every case he handled.

Later, Du Jingguang approached Gu Chen and apologized...

Gu Chen expressed a nonchalant attitude.

Du Jingguang also stated that it was his law firm that wanted to badmouth Gu Chen, not him personally...

Anyway, Du Jingguang explained everything...

Gu Chen didn’t pursue the matter further.

Afterwards, Du Jingguang sought out the media and spoke highly of Gu Chen in various ways, even helping promote Gu Chen’s law firm.

Du Jingguang thought... it’s pretty good that he could help promote Gu Chen.

He suddenly felt that if he opposed Gu Chen...

Wouldn’t that be courting death?

If Gu Chen really wanted to send him inside, Du Jingguang believed he hadn’t done anything criminal...

But offending a Lawless Madman, a company’s CEO...

Someone on payroll, a national attorney...

Maybe in a few years, Gu Chen would represent the country abroad in court.

At that time, with Gu Chen’s status and position, how could he dare to offend him?

Thus, Du Jingguang promoted Gu Chen and his law firm in various ways.

As for joining Gu Chen’s law firm, Du Jingguang no longer held out hope.

He just wanted to do well himself.

Actually, Du Jingguang hadn’t targeted Gu Chen for a long time. During these months, Du Jingguang even started live-streaming to speak nicely about Gu Chen...

Du Jingguang even turned into a "Gu Chui", praising Gu Chen’s achievements and courtroom skills in various ways...

Of course, Du Jingguang wasn’t idle.

He still spent time seriously studying law and enhancing his courtroom skills.

In the past two months, he took on several cases, all of which he won.

Du Jingguang was quite pleased.

Du Jingguang said, "Alright, that’s all for today’s live stream. By the way, let me mention, Gu Chen isn’t taking cases because his firm is very busy with year-end evaluations to become a Red Circle Law Firm. Do you know what kind of prestige this represents?"

"Across the whole country, there are only ten Red Circle Law Firms! Among them, there are many well-established and powerful firms, while Gu Chen’s firm has only been developing for just over a year, with a shallow foundation..."

"But I believe Gu Chen’s firm has a chance to become a Red Circle Law Firm this time. Once they make it, their status and everything will be different."

"So, everybody, don’t think that Gu Chen is afraid of breaking his winning streak and doesn’t dare take cases. It’s because Gu Chen has his own matters to attend to, things to focus on..."

"So, for this case, don’t have expectations that Gu Chen will take it on."

"Gu Chen... probably won’t take any more cases in the future."

Du Jingguang said aloud.

Many netizens then realized... Lawyer Gu really wouldn’t be taking cases anymore.

The Lawless Madman courtroom stories had become history.

But who would help Xie Tongtong with this case?

Moreover, netizens understood a fact, which was that this case was truly difficult to be ruled as a death sentence.

Even if Lin Helong beat Xie Tongtong into a vegetative state, a death sentence would be tough.

Thus, Xie Tongtong’s demands were practically impossible to fulfill.

Xie Tongtong indeed became disabled, but to sentence Lin Helong to death because of it was impossible, there’s no chance of that.

Netizens spoke up one after another.

[Oh, can’t get a death sentence?]

[It really seems impossible, all major attorneys have spoken out...]

[Death sentence is impossible, is there really no hope at all?]

[People have said it, even beating Xie Tongtong into a vegetative state can’t result in a death sentence.]

[Then there’s nothing more to be done, absolutely nothing, who has a way?]

[Not granting a death sentence, nothing will work.]

[Even Lawyer Gu won’t step in, no way.]

Netizens felt a bit helpless.

This case, regardless of what happens, seems unable to reach Xie Tongtong’s demands.

The demands actually don’t fit the law...

Inflicting severe injury won’t result in a death sentence.

The law states this, and real-life case rulings follow the law, how could it easily go to a death sentence?

Netizens could only hope that Lin Helong receives a heavier sentence.

As for how heavy, it depends on the actual judgment results.

...

Gu Chen took over the case.

After analyzing it...

Gu Chen discovered that a death sentence was impossible.

"The client’s demands are unachievable. There’s no possibility of a death sentence, it can only be argued for a longer sentence, usually starting at ten years, the maximum is life imprisonment, nothing higher, and even life imprisonment is basically unlikely," Gu Chen said.

Xue Qingqing nodded beside him, "That’s right, the crime Lin Helong committed doesn’t warrant a death sentence."

Gu Chen said, "Let’s visit and communicate with the client."

Gu Chen came to Xie Tongtong’s home.

Upon seeing Xie Tongtong, Gu Chen indeed witnessed how cruel Lin Helong’s tactics were.

Lin Helong’s domestic violence against Xie Tongtong had been frequent over the past two years.
