Chapter 441 The Truth
Gao Sheng didn't even think twice and said, "This case will be handed over to Attorney Gu. We believe that Attorney Gu will be able to handle this case. Li Ranran is too vicious! There is no way my son could have raped her. She must have set him up. It would be great if she could prove my son's innocence and let him be acquitted."

Thinking of Li Ranran, Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi both felt a little angry.

Their son is still in the detention center because of Li Ranran!
Their family was so good to Li Ranran, but Li Ranran turned around and sent Gao Jiantong to prison.

Such a woman is trying every means to divide their property!

Gao Sheng and Zhang Qi both felt disgusted and even wished that Li Ranran could die right there.

As long as they can win the case, what does it matter if they don't want a penny of property?

The purpose is to ensure Gao Jiantong’s acquittal.

They want to prove Gao Jiantong's innocence!
Li Ranran slandered others' innocence and sent Gao Jiantong to jail.
The question is, did Gao Jiantong really rape him?
Even though the first instance judgment has been made, the case has not yet been completely determined.

We need to see the second trial!!
There is still one last chance for the second trial!

Soon, the law firm and Gao Sheng signed a contract.

Xue Qingqing took the contract and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, Aunt Zhang, happy cooperation."

Gao Sheng quickly said, "Stay and have something to eat. I'll find the best chef to cook a feast for you. You said you came to our place, but we didn't treat you well."

Gao Sheng knew Xue Qingqing's status. She was not just a small legal assistant.

Xue Qingqing smiled and said, "No need. I'm going to take the contract back and then go with the boss to investigate the case. As for dinner, please wait until the lawsuit is over and then treat me and the boss to dinner."

Gao Sheng nodded, "That's fine, I'll ask the driver to take you back."

Xue Qingqing said: "It's okay, our company has a driver, Uncle Gao, keep in touch at any time, my boss and I may contact you at any time, and then it depends on the case. Time is tight, we have to go to work first."

Gao Sheng said, "Okay, I'll leave my son's case to you."

Wait until Xue Qingqing left.

Zhang Qi said, "Are you sure that Gu Chen can take over our case? After all, Gu Chen is not a top-tier lawyer. He is still far behind the top lawyers in the industry. With this price, we can find the top lawyer in the industry to help us with the lawsuit."

After all, if they want to spend two million to hire a lawyer to fight a lawsuit, they can find any talented lawyer among the eight red-circle law firms.

Gao Sheng said: "I think there is no problem. If even Gu Chen can't help us win this lawsuit, then our son will really go to jail, and no one can do anything about it. Think about it, would Xue Qingqing follow an ordinary person as an assistant? Xue Qingqing herself is now a very good lawyer, but she has always been learning from Gu Chen."

"And can't you see the relationship between Xue Qingqing and Gu Chen? They are both young people who are together every day. I don't believe you if you say they have nothing." Gao Sheng said.

"Besides, Gu Chen has never lost a single lawsuit so far. He has won all of them. Many top lawyers cannot beat him in lawsuits. This record is still very impressive." Gao Sheng said.

He still has confidence in Gu Chen.
Lawyer Gu personally took over their case
Gao Sheng is already very happy.

After all, there are other top lawyers in the law firm, but Gu Chen still took the case personally.
Zhang Qi said happily: "Then our son is saved?"

Gao Sheng said: "There is hope. We can only place all our hopes on Gu Chen."

Gu Chen took over the case.

Gu Chen went directly to the Intermediate People's Court to investigate the files.

The staff member's name is Zhao Min.

When Zhao Min saw Gu Chen coming here, her face was full of enthusiasm, "Hello, Lawyer Gu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Chen said: "Let me retrieve the case files of Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran."

Zhao Min was a little surprised and said, "Isn't Lawyer Gu going to be Gao Jiantong's defense lawyer in this case?"

Seeing that Gu Chen did not deny it, Zhao Min said, "Lawyer Gu, this case is quite difficult. It is a case of marital rape. I see that the first instance has already sentenced the defendant. The evidence is irrefutable. The case file is here. We have also been discussing this case recently."

Gu Chen said: "The case has not yet been determined. It still needs to wait for the second trial. The key is to see what the truth is."

Zhao Min nodded quickly, "You're right, Lawyer Gu can contact me if you need any help."

Gu Chen nodded, "Yeah."

After Gu Chen looked at the file, he thoroughly understood the case.

A month ago, Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran were resting at home.

At two o'clock in the morning, Li Ranran chose to call the police, saying that Gao Jiantong had raped her.

The police arrived at the scene and took Gao Jiantong away for investigation.

The matter immediately became a big deal, and after that, Li Ranran began to ask for a divorce and demand a division of property.

After a month of litigation, the first-instance judgment finally came out.

Gao Jiantong was sentenced to three years in prison.

Li Ranran sued Gao Jiantong for divorce. The court sentenced Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran to divorce, and because Gao Jiantong was at fault, the court ruled that the two parties should divorce, and awarded 70% of the marital property to Li Ranran, which was worth about 16 million yuan.

The court also ruled that the custody of the three children belonged to Li Ranran, and Gao Jiantong had to pay Li Ranran 20,000 yuan in child support for the three children every month, and even 10,000 yuan in expenses every month. This was because Li Ranran said that she could not lower her pre-marital living standards just because of the divorce.

This means that Gao Jian has to pay Li Ranran 30,000 yuan in compensation in the same month. And this compensation will have to be paid for at least ten years, until the three children have grown up.

As for the details of the rape case, Gu Chen also took a careful look at them.

Because there are surveillance cameras in Gao Jiantong's home, but they are only in the living room and the second bedroom. There are no surveillance cameras in the master bedroom and the bathroom.

According to court documents.
Gu Chen knew that Gao Jiantong was convicted of rape because of the following characteristics:
First, Li Ranran had scars on her body, which were man-made scars.

Second, Li Ranran ran out of the master bedroom that day, looking emotionally broken, and was then carried back to the bedroom by Gao Jiantong, during which time Li Ranran was still struggling.

Third, there is Gao Jiantong’s DNA tissue in Li Ranran’s nails.

Apart from these, there is nothing else.

Relying on these evidences and Li Ranran's own testimony, he was convicted directly.

In addition to this evidence, there is also the testimony of the eldest son.

Gao Jiantong and Li Ranran’s eldest son is called Gao Da.

As a witness, Gundam gave testimony in court.
He said he saw his father raping his mother with his own eyes.

In the video surveillance, there is indeed a scene of Gaoda entering the master bedroom. At that time, Gao Jiantong's second son and daughter were sleeping.
Only the eldest son heard the noise at 3 a.m. and went to the master bedroom.
Gundam is also eight years old this year. Li Ranran was pregnant before marriage and got married with a big belly, so after eight years of marriage, Gundam is almost eight years old.

Gao Jiantong did not expect that his eldest son would come out to give false testimony
Gao Jiantong was so disheartened that he could not defend himself in court. There was nothing he could do.

This even made Gao Jiantong doubt whether Gao Da was his biological son.
Finally, the court convicted and sentenced the defendant at the first instance, and the whole process went through.

Gu Chen knew that if he wanted to prove Gao Jiantong’s innocence, he must first prove that Gao Jiantong was not a rapist.

What happened between the two people that night?
There was no surveillance in the master bedroom. Apart from Li Ranran, Gao Da and Gao Jiantong, no one knew what happened in the master bedroom that night.

The court also had no direct evidence to show that Li Ranran was raped by Gao Jiantong.

We can only judge based on the injuries on Li Ranran's body, Gaoda's testimony, and the surveillance video.

Even if the system is turned on, it is difficult to directly prove Gao Jiantong's innocence.

These days, as long as a woman is in the same room with a man, she can call the police.
The man will definitely be arrested and investigated, and the results of the investigation are another matter.

There was no one else in the room and no surveillance video, which was a difficult point.

If this difficulty is not resolved, there will be no way to directly restore Gao Jiantong's innocence.

So was Gao Jiantong raped?

Gu Chen did not check the system, so he didn't know the truth now.

If Gao Jiantong was sent to prison and sentenced to three years, he would indeed not be able to win custody of the child.

How does a prisoner raise a child?

Even if you have money, it is very difficult to fight for custody.

If Li Ranran wants to give up the custody of the three children, Gao Jiantong's family must give her 10 million yuan in cash.

"This case is not as easy as imagined." Gu Chen said after getting the file.

"Yes, boss, this case is still difficult to win, otherwise we wouldn't have lost the first trial so quickly. The key is that if Gao Jiantong broke the law, he would be at a disadvantage in the fight for property." Xue Qingqing said.

"And everyone suspects that Li Ranran might have cheated on her. If she didn't have someone else outside, she wouldn't be so determined to get a divorce," said Xue Qingqing.

Gu Chen smiled and touched Xue Qingqing's head, "You have become much smarter."

Xue Qingqing laughed and said, "Yes."

Gu Chen asked: "Why did you decide to divorce?"

Xue Qingqing said, "Because it doesn't make sense. Li Ranran gets 100,000 yuan every month, doesn't have to work, doesn't have to do housework, and lives such a good life. Her hobbies every day are playing games, such as Peace Elite and King of Glory, and enjoying life every day. How could she suddenly report her husband to jail? And then she wants to divorce and divide the family property? In this case, it can only be that she has someone else outside."

"Once they have someone outside, they will think about divorce and dividing the property," said Xue Qingqing.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "That's right, so what you mean is that Li Ranran planned a rape case, and then tried every means to give Gao Jiantong a Hongmen Banquet, and finally put Gao Jiantong in jail, so that she can easily divorce."

"Because in the eyes of outsiders, they have a good relationship and it is difficult for them to get divorced. If Li Ranran files for divorce, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to get so much property. Li Ranran wants to get more property, so she used this method."

Gu Chen said: "But these are just our own thoughts, we still need to investigate the details."

Soon, Gu Chen went to the detention center and met Gao Jiantong.

After seeing Gu Chen, Gao Jiantong remained silent and did not speak from beginning to end.

Gu Chen said: "Hello, I am your lawyer Gu Chen."

Gao Jiantong said, "Hello, Lawyer Gu."

Gao Jiantong's face didn't look very good, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Gu Chen said: "I understand the situation of this case. There is no one else here and no surveillance. I want to ask you a few questions."

Gao Jiantong said, "Just ask anything, Lawyer Gu."

Gu Chen asked: "Did Li Ranran cheat on her?"

Gao Jiantong thought Gu Chen would ask him whether he raped Li Ranran.
In the end, Lawyer Gu came up to ask questions about Li Ranran.

Gao Jiantong said, "I don't know. I've been busy with work, and I don't go home very often. But there are surveillance cameras at home, and Li Ranran doesn't go out very often. She stays at home most of the time. She does go out sometimes, saying she's going to play with her bestie or friends, but she never stays out overnight. She goes home to look after the kids every day."

"Our relationship was good on weekdays and had always been good. I thought we had a very good relationship until he called the police and reported me for rape."

Gao Jiantong shook his head and sighed.

Gu Chen wrote it down.

Gao Jiantong asked: "Lawyer Gu, why don't you ask me whether I really raped Li Ranran?"

Gu Chen said: "Is it useful if I ask?"

Gao Jiantong remained silent.

Gu Chen said, "If I ask and you answer, will the judge believe it? Will he acquit you? If you did it, then even if I sue you, you won't be acquitted. At most I can reduce your sentence. If you didn't do it, then I will definitely acquit you. So there's no point in me asking these questions."

After listening to what Gu Chen said, Gao Jiantong said, "Lawyer Gu, I will do my best to cooperate with you."

Gu Chen said, "Tell me what happened that night. Explain every detail clearly. And try to recall if there was anything unusual about Li Ranran during that time."

Gao Jiantong said: "I did not rape her. Strictly speaking, nothing happened between us that night."

“We have a very good relationship.”

"But that night, it was raining heavily outside. When I got home, I saw her. She was still waiting for me in bed."

"I did want to, but she rejected me. After she rejected me, I no longer felt like that."

"Then she discussed with me that she wanted to buy a house for her brother, and she wanted a house worth 6 million yuan in full. I said I didn't have that much cash and the company needed money, so I said I could help her brother pay the down payment."

"But she said her brother only got married once, and the woman wanted the full payment for the house, and then we had a quarrel over this matter. After all, it was six million, not six hundred yuan, and I really couldn't take out that much cash on hand."

"She said she wanted to run away from home, and then she ran out. I saw it was raining heavily outside, so I quickly went out to stop her and carried her back. But she struggled in various ways."
