"But you're right, it's time."
Jiang Mu stretched his body lazily. "The cards that can be gathered before the court session are either already in hand or no longer have the chance to be in hand. Next, it depends on the opponent's moves."
"…Although I roughly know your answer, I still want to ask you again."
Lawyer Gu raised his head and looked at Jiang Mu.
"After this, your job is definitely over. Your opponents will most likely make a fuss about your criminal record and throw mud at you...
You have finally achieved something, and you just throw it away?"
"Since you already know the answer." Jiang Mu smiled, "Why ask again?"
“…That’s why I said you’re an idiot.”
“So I never argued back.”
The next day.
Blue sky and white sun.
Litigation filed.
An uproar!
NO.15 The Last Case (Closed) [7.2k monthly ticket requested! ]
(Preview reminder: The structure of this article is based on the ninth episode of "The Winner is Justice 2". Any similarities are not coincidental.)
In front of the court.
This is the center of the storm, yet it is so calm. The wind shakes the locust tree like the hand of a naughty child. Two men walk side by side, their heavy steps like armored warriors.
He was dressed in a neat suit and fully armed.
"I think this outfit looks better. You looked so disheveled when you were having dinner a few days ago, like a stray dog on the street. Just looking at you made me want to kick you."
Lawyer Gu glanced at Jiang Mu and asked, "The last time I saw you here was a year ago, right?"
“Yes, one year ago, in the case of Wang Shan killing his friend, you were the plaintiff’s lawyer, demanding the death penalty for the defendant, and I was the defense lawyer, seeking innocence.
We were wearing the same clothes we are wearing before the court session. We happened to meet in front of the door and we sprayed each other under this locust tree for half an hour before going in. "
Jiang Mu casually pinched off the locust flowers floating in his hair.
"You were really wicked that time. Without cameras, you used your hatred of the rich to get dozens of eyewitness reports. If I hadn't insisted that public opinion is neither a legal rule nor a legal principle, you would have killed me."
"It's because they gave us so much money."
Lawyer Gu shrugged, "I've said it before, for lawyers, case selection is more important than defense, and fighting more favorable battles is the hard truth."
"Even if it's completely different from the truth?"
"Don't be so self-righteous. The truth is whatever it is. We are not gods. How can we get to the bottom of everything?"
"But I always feel that the truth is the most important thing, and it has nothing to do with whether we are gods or not."
"...You are a difficult person to deal with. If it were Xiaozhen, the above sentence would have been fooled."
Lawyer Gu made an unhappy "tsk" sound.
"I must have been bewitched to help you... Just as I expected, this kind of big company must have a sense of public relations. When we filed a lawsuit, the company made a statement and denied the "overbearing contract" incident. It was really watertight."
"Haha, after all, it's a whole legal team. Since they dare to propose this kind of agreement, of course they will make a good plan."
Jiang Mu sneered, "It's just some condemnation on the Internet. Of course, it's still within the plan. Maybe someone is celebrating their foresight."
"...That's why I think you're so scary." Lawyer Gu said, "You clearly know everything, but you still insist on ridiculous justice and you're so confident."
"Ah, you're talking about this." Jiang Mu smiled, "Of course it's because..."
"Ding-ling-ling-ling--"
The cell phone rang and Jiang Mu took a look.
It’s Luo Zheng.
connected.
"Hey, Professor, how was your meal today?"
"It's okay. I had three fried dough sticks and a bowl of pumpkin porridge in the morning."
"You are old, eat less greasy food."
"I know, I know. Have you had breakfast this morning?"
"No, eating too much will affect the brain's functioning. I just ate a piece of chocolate to replenish my energy."
"Even young people need to pay attention to their daily routine, otherwise their stomachs will get hungry."
"Very good, I will definitely have a good meal at noon."
"That's good. Eat well, sleep well, and everything will be fine."
On the other end of the phone, Luo Zheng smiled and said, "You are already grown up, you can definitely handle everything."
"Hehe, is there any need to say that?"
"I won't bother you here anymore. I have classes later. I'll hang up now."
"Okay, Professor, you're busy."
The phone hangs up.
Jiang Mu looked at Lawyer Gu and spread his hands.
"Well," he said, "that's why."
Lawyer Gu blinked in a silly and cute way.
Jiang Mu also blinked like him.
"Don't play dumb! What's the reason?"
"What else could it be?"
Jiang Mu put his hands behind his back and strode forward.
"Because, of course, I will win."
Lawyer Gu immediately followed and said unhappily:
"You're talking like you're on stage. I'll win, thank you."
"Alright, alright, we will win, alright? You really are..."
===
court.
The depressing tones of the tables and chairs are like coffins.
"It's him."
Lawyer Gu looked at the person sitting opposite him.
Jiang Mu, who was sitting next to him as the plaintiff, asked in a low voice: "Do you know him? What's his name?"
"I know him, but I don't know his name. He was defeated by me and cried bitterly. He is a fool with no talent at all. He could only get into the company's legal team and exploit young people by relying on his seniority and age."
Perhaps because he was in court, Lawyer Gu's tongue was sharper than usual.
"Anyway, judging by his appearance, he's not a very important character. He'll probably only appear once in the novel as a background figure and then be forgotten by the readers. So let's just call him Passerby A."
"We are rivals after all, show some respect." Jiang Mu narrowed his eyes and glanced at the sign in front of him. "The last name is Ji, at least call him Passerby Ji."
He deliberately read the two words after "passerby" together.
Lawyer Gu really didn't feel any respect from Jiang Mu...
After a while, the four people in charge of the trial took their seats on the podium one after another.
One position is vacant.
Lawyer Gu showed an understanding expression and smiled at Jiang Mu.
It seems to be saying, "Come and ask me, come and ask me."
Jiang Mu glanced at him and asked, "What did you do?"
"Humph."
Lawyer Gu chuckled smugly, "Nothing. According to my investigation, it would be absolutely disadvantageous for us if the judge 'your Excellency' continued to stay, so I found an opportunity... So, the elderly should be careful when eating at street stalls, otherwise they will get diarrhea."
After a slight pause, "The one who succeeded him has a suitable background."
Lawyer Gu’s words were very vague.
Jiang Mu understood as soon as he heard it.
Lawyer Gu looked at Jiang Mu disdainfully, as if to say, "The world is a dangerous place, you still have a lot to learn."
Jiang Mu scratched his head.
"Then wasn't it a bit redundant for me to bribe the doctor and show him the paternity test that proved his grandson was not his biological blood?"
Lawyer Gu suddenly felt that the world was so damn dangerous.
"…It's not you. Wait, huh? Hmm? This? Not?"
Lawyer Gu held his breath for three full seconds.
"They're really not his biological children? Are you sure you're not making up rumors?"
"Of course not. It took me three or four days to find out from her bestie. As lawyers, we value solid evidence."
Jiang Mu said this with great righteousness.
"I never do such wicked things as spreading rumors!"
Lawyer Gu said "Pah" in agreement.
Not to mention the old man who suffered a sudden double blow both physically and mentally.
After a while, the last member took a seat.
"The court is in session!"
The gavel fell with a heavy sound like it struck the coffee table.
===
Jiang Mu stopped tapping the table with his fingertips and smiled with confidence.
"Mr. Yu, do you really think that this contract has nothing to do with you?"
He took out a few copies, looked at the night view outside the window, and put them on the table.
“The contract requires that the copyright be returned fifty years after the author’s death. However, according to copyright law, private copyright will be converted to public copyright fifty years after the author’s death.
It’s not that the platform wants to return the copyright to you, but that they can no longer hold the copyright.”
On the opposite side, the author, who became obese due to staying up late for a long time, remained silent for a long time.
"Don't say that. I can't possibly help you go to court," the author said. "That would destroy my own job."
"But your job is already broken." Jiang Mu said aggressively, "Yes, you are a great writer, you are loved by countless readers, you have written countless excellent works, and there are so many moving stories, this is your bargaining chip...
But can a good enough author really beat a company that is ruthless and takes advantage of others?
A while ago, the copyright was sold for more than 10 million, but the author received less than 200,000. You must have heard about this, right? "
The author remained silent.
Lies will be exposed sooner or later, only the truth is a sharp blade.
"In fact, I am also worried about my own future." Jiang Mu suddenly changed the subject, frowning, "My works are the most severely persecuted."
The author was stunned: "Your work?"
"Yeah, didn't I say that? I'm also an author. In fact, I've been making a living from this for the past few years. Last month, I made about 50,000 yuan in royalties. Of course, it's not as much as you, Mr. Yu."
“Haha, that’s pretty impressive too.”
Mr. Yu has the common characteristics of men who stay at home all year round.
