Are You Crazy? He’s only an Intern Lawyer?
Chapter 494 - 490: Temporary Advantage? Zhu Pitte’s Revenge!

Chapter 494: Chapter 490: Temporary Advantage? Zhu Pitte’s Revenge!

The evidence presented by Zhang Wei was enough to make anyone’s blood pressure soar.

These photos were supposed to be of girls learning to dance, but instead, they show a group of thugs leching over them, even getting handsy and mouthy, groping them all over.

Obscene!

This is blatantly obscene behavior!

And what about Teacher Gu?

She’s also in the photos, evidently in charge of the entire dance studio, yet she turned a blind eye to all these actions!

Acquiescence, tolerance, complicity?

A series of gazes were cast toward the witness stand.

Many who had previously held some level of regard for this witness now were openly disgusted.

You say you’re a dance teacher, teaching girls to dance.

But what’s happening in these photos? Your dance studio has turned into a site of lechery, hasn’t it?

"Teacher Gu, why aren’t you saying anything?"

At that moment, Zhang Wei twisted the knife, walking up to the witness stand and locking eyes with Teacher Gu.

"The situations depicted in these photos are just a tiny fraction of what I’ve shown."

Zhang Wei pointed at scene after scene in the photos and coldly asked, "I’m curious, how can there be so many thugs inside Dongfang’s network company?"

"Director Zhu, are you aware of this? How come there are so many thugs inside Dongfang’s network, and they even specifically harass the female students... Oh, wait, this can’t be called harassment anymore, this is forced indecency!"

Zhu Pitte’s face went green with Zhang Wei’s sarcastic questioning.

These thugs were people he fostered, they were his subordinates.

Clenching his teeth and with a face full of fury, yet since this was the courtroom, he couldn’t lash out and clearly was so angry he could kill.

The expression on Sun Kongwen’s face wasn’t too good either.

Because he never expected the witness he called to be attacked by Zhang Wei like this.

At the end of the day, where did these photos come from? How on earth did Zhang Wei get his hands on so much incriminating material against Dongfang’s network?

"Teacher Gu, please directly answer the questions asked by the defense!"

From the bench, Judge Jiang also had a cold look, staring intently at the witness stand.

"I... I..."

"Teacher Gu, I know there are some questions you cannot answer, so let me simplify my questions!"

Zhang Wei pointed at a man in the photos and asked, "Is he an employee of Dongfang’s network company, is his name Brother Chen?"

"Yes..." Teacher Gu turned her head, looked at the man on the screen, and nodded.

"Are these men subordinates of Brother Chen?"

"Yes..."

"Is this place your dance studio?"

"Yes..."

"In your dance studio, is it common for people like Brother Chen to show up?"

"Yes..."

"They’ve not just harassed and indecently assaulted the female students for the first time, right?"

"This..."

"Witness, please answer this question directly!" From the bench, Judge Jiang emphasized again, her tone already somewhat menacing.

Teacher Gu looked up and then felt countless sharp and piercing gazes being cast upon her from all sides.

The jury, the observers, and the bench—all the pressures converged on her.

"Yes... yes..."

Under the weight of this pressure, Teacher Gu could only confess the facts.

"Thank you for your answers, Teacher Gu!"

Seeing Teacher Gu respond, Zhang Wei clapped his hands, "Alright, now the picture is clear. Dongfang’s network company not only engages in contract fraud and exploitation but also condones its male employees in the indecent assault of the company’s female anchors!"

"The fact that Brother Chen and the others have harassed the female students is indisputable, and the actions of Dongfang’s network company also constitute aiding and abetting a crime. The company’s abuse of power has facilitated these crimes—it’s utterly heinous!"

"Objection!"

Facing Zhang Wei’s resounding accusation, Sun Kongwen immediately stood up to interrupt.

"Objection overruled, Lawyer Sun, please take your seat!"

At that moment, Judge Jiang’s voice turned cold, sending out a warning with a stern expression.

Sun Kongwen had no choice but to sit down grimly, swayed by Judge Jiang’s demeanor at that moment.

"Teacher Gu, thank you for your testimony, we have no further questions!"

Zhang Wei thanked Teacher Gu with a slight smile, as a token of gratitude for her "assistance."

What’s this move called?

Not only murder, but also destruction of the soul!

At this moment, Teacher Gu’s face was extremely unsightly.

She didn’t dare to raise her head to look at Zhu Pitte, who was at the plaintiff’s bench.

The complexity and bitterness in her heart were transformed into a long sigh.

Thump, thump, thump!

It was at this time that Judge Jiang on the bench struck the gavel.

"Ahem, given that it’s getting late today, this court declares the hearing closed. We will continue with the second hearing next Monday. Everyone may leave now, wishing you all a pleasant weekend!"

After glancing at the time, Judge Jiang announced the adjournment of the court.

Once he stood up, he too let out a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then hastily left the courtroom.

The court started to adjourn, and everyone began to leave one after another.

Zhang Wei led Luo Xiaobu, Bobo, and others out of the courtroom together.

Behind them was Zhu Pitte with a sullen face, Sun Kongwen, and the employees of "Take You Flying Network."

"Crap!"

Seeing Zhang Wei and his party walking in front, Zhu Pitte couldn’t help it and even wanted to catch up and give them a piece of his mind.

"Director Zhu, hold back, otherwise it will be extremely disadvantageous for you!"

Naturally noticing the change in his companion, Sun Kongwen quickly reminded him.

"Fuck my life, is the current situation even remotely in my favor?"

Zhu Pitte was frustrated and looked at Sun Kongwen at the same time.

Laywer Sun, you were in the courtroom the whole time, and you saw what happened during the hearing. Are you blind?

In the entire courtroom, except for our own people, who isn’t hostile towards us?

With such a situation, could it possibly get any worse?

"Rest assured, Director Zhu. Although the situation is unfavorable, it’s not like we are without countermeasures!"

Sun Kongwen gestured with his hands, indicating Zhu Pitte to stay calm.

Although the hearing was not in favor of the plaintiff, they still had two days over the weekend to make arrangements.

With two days’ time, of course, they could also make some maneuver.

"Director Zhu, in the next two days, we can do this and that..."

Sun Kongwen and Zhu Pitte began to converse in low voices.

Ahead of them.

The party of the defendant.

"Zhang Wei, you are really incredible!"

"Lawyer Zhang, thank you so much."

Luo Xiaobu was very excited, and so was Bobo.

Because they had witnessed every scene in the courtroom earlier.

One could only say that Zhang Wei’s preparations were really thorough.

Almost every witness called by the plaintiff could be countered by him with dirt and evidence unfavorable to "Take You Flying Network."

A gift for thorough planning, and a step ahead of the adversary!

That was their opinion of Zhang Wei.

"Stay calm, this is only the first hearing, and the situation in future encounters is still unpredictable!"

Zhang Wei gestured with his hand, this was definitely no time to be self-congratulatory—praise brings the jinx.

Although self-confidence is a good thing, the courtroom can change rapidly, and the outcome of future proceedings is impossible to predict.

This was the time to choose modesty.

The group quickly got into their car and headed back to Zhang’s Martial Arts School.

...

Friday evening.

After dinner, Zhang Wei and the others gathered together again.

"Radish, are you sure you won’t go home?"

Noticing the late hour, Zhang Wei patted Luo Xiaobu on the shoulder.

You’re really something, it’s so late now, aren’t your family members going to urge you to come home?

"Zhang Wei, it’s fine, my family knows my situation!"

Luo Xiaobu took out his cellphone, glanced at it, and then waved his hand dismissively.

Although there were several calls from his family in the call log, Luo Xiaobu could only ignore them.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei also showed helplessness.

You treat others with sincere dedication, but do they know that?

"And if you don’t say anything, do you think the other party will appreciate your discretion?"

In any case, Zhang Wei had already given Luo Xiaobu a heads up. As for what happened next, he couldn’t care less.

"Given that, let’s get back to the case, then!"

Zhang Wei tapped the blackboard and wrote down some information on it.

"From what we can see now, the advantage lies with us, but all these advantages are only temporary."

"Although I’ve repeatedly proven the issues with Take You Flying’s network in court, these problems all stem from unscrupulous actions of employees and unreasonable terms in contracts, which, in other words, are minor issues that haven’t hurt our opponents significantly."

"The most crucial point is that Director Zhu has not been affected at all."

Zhang Wei pointed to the words "Zhu Pitte" written on the blackboard, emphasizing repeatedly.

This time, their enemy was the Take You Flying network, which was to say, Zhu Pitte himself.

Only by delivering a powerful blow to this guy would they have a chance of winning the case.

"So, what do we do now? We can’t let anything happen to Bobo. We must win this case!"

Luo Xiaobu glanced at Bobo and quickly asked a question.

One had to admit that when it came to being a sycophant, this guy truly had talent.

"At the end of the day, our side doesn’t have enough solid evidence, nor do we have enough witnesses!"

Zhang Wei glanced at Bobo and then at his other companions.

"Due to the limited time, all I’ve been able to find are some live streamers who had their contracts terminated by Take You Flying’s network. They’re afraid of retaliation and dare not testify in court. Getting them to send videos was already the biggest concession."

Those female streamers naturally hated Take You Flying’s network. Some had long recorded videos accusing the network, and some were recorded on the spot, but anyhow, Zhang Wei had shown them all during the trial.

But what was the result?

Zhu Pitte was, of course, not affected, and only Sister Li had been dealt with.

It was far from enough to critically damage the Take You Flying network.

"Lacking witnesses?" Bobo muttered to herself, looking a bit distressed.

Zhang Wei’s gaze naturally fell upon her.

"Right, Miss Lin, I want to ask if you still have an account at Tiger Fish’s live streaming room?"

"The account belongs to the company; I don’t have login rights. Also, I heard it’s bound to an IP address. It can only be accessed internally within the company, so I’m afraid I’m powerless!"

"Is that so?"

Zhang Wei’s eyes moved, then he turned to Zhao Xiaoxiao among his companions.

"Xiao Xiao, can you handle it?"

"Are you underestimating me, huh?"

The second girl raised her eyebrows and immediately opened her laptop to start working.

In less than five minutes, she made an "OK" gesture.

"It’s done. I’ve cracked the account password, and the login IP is also set up for you!"

"Miss Lin, now log into Tiger Fish’s host room and publish a message like this. I believe it should put some pressure on Take You Flying and Zhu Pitte!"

Zhang Wei said, passing a script to Bobo.

...

At the same time.

Inside Take You Flying’s network company.

Zhu Pitte was currently in a fit of rage.

"Damn it, damn it, a bunch of useless people!"

"Can’t even handle such a small thing, what am I feeding you for?"

"In court, letting that Zhang Wei interrogate you like that, could you not just deny it, not answer?"

"Not an ounce of foresight, still dare to say you’re not rubbish!"

"It pisses me off to death!"

Although young, Director Zhu had a particularly explosive temper, cursing his subordinates furiously.

Sun Kongwen didn’t say a word next to him, but he sneered disdainfully.

In court, it’s not like you can simply choose not to answer if you don’t want to. Otherwise, where is the dignity of the court?

Furthermore, to know the truth and still deny it would be to commit perjury, which is punishable with jail time.

Zhu Pitte’s casual remarks were in fact inciting his subordinates to commit perjury, which was also illegal.

But Sun Kongwen had no intention of reminding him; after all, none of this was related to him. His goal was simply to get back at Zhang Wei.

"Director Zhu, it’s not good! Bobo has logged on Tiger Fish!"

While Zhu Pitte was still planning to scold someone, a girl shouted from outside the door.

"What happened?"

Zhu Pitte’s face went pale, and he immediately turned to Manager Feng from the operations department.

"Isn’t that a company account that you gave to them, and haven’t you also bound the login IP? How could she log in outside of the company?"

"Director Zhu, I also don’t know. According to reason, since we bound the IP address, and the login account and password are only known by our company internally, they shouldn’t be able to log in..."

"They shouldn’t be able to log in, so what’s this situation!"

After Director Zhu opened the computer and logged into the Tiger Fish platform, he saw Bobo’s channel appear on the homepage.

Inside the live stream, Bobo was speaking passionately.

"Dear viewers of the Tiger Fish platform, hello, I’m Bobo. Today I’m here to tell everyone that I and my agency, Fly With Us Online, are engaged in a lawsuit. I’m accusing Fly With Us Online of exploiting us streamers through contracts, squeezing us, and even condoning their employees to molest and harass our female students..."

The popularity of the live stream started skyrocketing due to the explosive content of the speech.

If it had been a normal day, watching the popularity climb to several millions and even challenging ten million would have made Zhu Pitte very happy.

But today, seeing the popularity of this live stream, his mood was especially irritable.

The live chat was refreshing frantically, and many viewers, upon hearing Bobo’s revelations, began to speak out eagerly one after the other.

If Bobo hadn’t turned off the tipping feature in her stream, perhaps today’s tipping figures would have also hit a new record.

"If there are sisters from the same platform or newcomer streamers who have experienced similar troubles, I welcome you to come and share with me."

"This time, I’ve found a very excellent lawyer, and I have many good friends helping me. I believe that with the help of Lawyer Zhang and my friends, we will surely uphold justice and punish unscrupulous agencies like Fly With Us Online!"

Bobo’s broadcast continued for a whole 15 minutes.

The popularity of the live room reached unprecedented heights.

Unfortunately, after the broadcast ended, Zhu Pitte was very unhappy.

In front of him, the managers of many departments of Fly With Us Online had all bowed their heads.

"Director Zhu, this incident needs to be handled well!"

Sun Kongwen was not from Fly With Us Online and was not involved in the live streaming circles, so he didn’t need to consider Zhu Pitte’s feelings and immediately reminded him.

"This broadcast, that speech was obviously prepared by Zhang Wei, he’s trying to drag you down with him!"

"What should we do then, Lawyer Sun? What do you suggest?"

"It’s simple. If Zhang Wei wants to ruin Fly With Us Online and your reputation, we can also tarnish theirs!"

Sun Kongwen said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He then whispered something into Zhu Pitte’s ear, and Zhu Pitte immediately nodded with a dark expression.

"Director Zhu, although I’m not involved in the live streaming circles, I’ve heard that you have connections at the Tiger Fish platform, is that right?"

"Lawyer Sun, I won’t hide it from you, indeed, I do have a line with the high-level executives at Tiger Fish!"

"Well then, this is the time for you to use that connection!"

After Sun Kongwen gave some instructions and saw that it was getting late, he took his leave and departed.

As for Zhu Pitte, he sent everyone away and then took out his phone to make a call.

"Brother-in-law, I need your help this time!"

"What’s the matter?"

A man’s impatient voice came from the other end of the call.

"It’s like this, one of my female streamers is being unreasonable about canceling her contract with us and has hired a lawyer to counter-sue us. Just now, she was badmouthing our company in the live stream."

"Oh, is that so? Then why don’t you just sue her? I remember your live stream contracts have all those clauses clearly written in. Don’t you also have a partnership with professional lawyers? How could those newbies who don’t understand the law ever win against you?"

"The lawyer on the opposing side of this lawsuit is a bit tricky to deal with, but my lawyers are not vegetarians either; we’re just encountering a little bit of trouble currently."

The man on the phone sighed and then asked, "Tell me, what do you need me to take care of for you?"

"Brother-in-law, here’s the thing, I want to ask you to..."

Zhu Pitte spoke about several matters to the man on the phone.

"Got it!"

The man soon hung up the call, obviously to contact people to handle the situation.

Zhu Pitte also knew that the man would surely take care of it because after all, he was the man’s brother-in-law.

"Hmph, Bobo, since you’re hell-bent on seeking death, don’t blame me!"

"Although you’re a promising talent, what I have no shortage of are female streamers. If I could raise one person like you to fame, I can also ruin you!"

"In my hands, Zhu Pitte, hold resources that can easily find someone to replace you, but without me, you’re nothing!"

After muttering a few words, a ruthless look flashed in Zhu Pitte’s eyes.

"Someone, get in touch with the media from Dongfang Capital; I’ve got some news to release!"

"Yes, Director Zhu, I’ll contact them right away!"

The woman waiting outside heard Zhu Pitte’s shout and immediately went to contact the media.

Soon afterward, some entertainment media in Dongfang Capital reported a piece of news.

"Shock, famous Tiger Fish internet celebrity’s misconduct revealed, suspected affair with top sponsor!"

The headline of the news was very explosive.

The protagonist of this report was none other than Bobo!
