Chapter 31: The court is about to open, and the war of words begins

Three days later, Cheng Cheng returned to the capital.

The crew was still filming in Fuhai City. Most of his scenes were shot in the first two days, with only a few finishing scenes left.

This time he returned to the capital because his case with Zhang Jiao was about to go to trial.

Many of the cases he filed against netizens and big Vs have already been heard in court. For such cases involving infringement of reputation rights, basically every case is successful. It just depends on whether the infringed party pursues the matter or not.

The netizens and big Vs received compensation ranging from 100 to 10000 yuan, and all apologized publicly.

Because he had hired someone to represent him, Cheng Cheng had not come back, but he had to come back this time because this was a crucial court session that would determine his future development path.

If he wins the lawsuit, he will naturally be able to return to the public eye. Although no one dares to use him, at least it will be possible to determine whether he has cheated, made mistakes, or violated public order and good morals, and he will be able to turn the tables and clear his name.

But if he loses the case, he will probably face a huge backlash from public opinion, and all the efforts of the past two months will be wasted.

It’s not that he has no place in the entertainment industry anymore, and it’s not that he has been sentenced to death.

He could have just worked behind the scenes or gone to Hollywood to develop his career. After all, he had so many literary works in his hands, especially "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Little Prince", which were popular all over the world. He could have made a fortune just by relying on these two books, and the system might also be able to extract foreign entertainment works.

"Inception" appeared on the lottery wheel once, but he didn't win it.

But that was all out of necessity. If we can develop domestically, we will definitely give priority to developing domestically.

Therefore, the focus right now is to win this lawsuit!

As soon as he left the airport, Cheng Cheng was picked up by his legal team.

The court session is at 2 p.m.

In the car, Cheng Cheng's defense lawyer Qin Wei analyzed Cheng Cheng's chances of winning the case.

Qin Wei said: "Mr. Cheng, whether from the perspective of evidence or from the legal perspective, it is on our side. We have sufficient evidence and unbreakable legal basis."

Cheng Cheng knew he was going to say but next.

Sure enough, Qin Wei frowned and said with difficulty:
"However, this is a major social event with high public attention. The judge may be influenced by external factors, and the verdict does not entirely depend on our evidence and legal basis."

Cheng Cheng had expected this, and he even thought Qin Wei was being euphemistic.

What Qin Wei clearly wanted to say was: the court may not look at the evidence when making a verdict.

For this type of civil prosecution that does not involve a criminal case, the judge has a high degree of discretion and can make either a positive or negative verdict. It all depends on who the judge favors more. In any case, no matter how the verdict is, there will be public opinion in the short term.

Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who the judge team is?" If Qin Wei didn't know who the judge was, he wouldn't be so pessimistic.

Qin Wei sighed: "I know."

He handed Cheng Cheng a case file and said, "These are the cases that the judge has ruled on before. She ruled in the opposite direction on many seemingly indisputable cases."

Cheng Cheng flipped through the books and was secretly shocked. He was shocked by some of the cases, but he did not ask stupid questions like "How dare she judge like this?"

Cheng Cheng: "Is there a high chance that we will lose the case?"

Qin Wei nodded: "For this case, we can only do our best to prepare and seize every opportunity. Mr. Cheng, don't worry, although the final decision does not entirely depend on us, since you have hired us, we will take responsibility and do our best. Maybe things are not the same as we expected?"

Cheng Cheng patted his shoulder in understanding, without showing any anger or irritation on his face. He just said:

"Please show me the case file again so I can make some preparations."

"Ok."

-

Online, news of the opening of the trial of Cheng Cheng's lawsuit against Zhang Jiao for spreading rumors and defamation has spread.

Cheng Cheng's supporters, Zhang Jiao's supporters, the public and marketing accounts have already started to take sides and even attack each other. "There shouldn't be any room for doubt in this case, right? After being blocked and deleted for two months, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have actually broken up. Zhang Jiao's accusation that Cheng Cheng cheated is completely unreasonable, and now only a group of people with bigger butts than heads are standing on her side. If Cheng Cheng can be judged as the loser in this case, then I really have nothing to say."

"I support Cheng Cheng to win the case. If he wins, I will set off firecrackers!"

"It's hard to imagine the dark side of human nature that a former lover could slander and spread rumors like this."

"It's been two months. Apart from a few so-called WeChat screenshots that were later proven to be incomplete, does Zhang Jiao have any solid evidence? Don't say that this kind of evidence is hard to find. Cheng Cheng has posted all the chat screenshots. How could there be evidence that she can't find? Later, this sister said in the group that Cheng Cheng has friends in every city? Have you heard of any other women coming out to expose the truth? I want to ask if this is normal?"

"Will Cheng Cheng win the case? You don't think that you can reverse the situation by publishing the chat records, right? You even directly exposed the girl's name, school and personal information. No one knew her name or where she went to school, but you exposed everything to her. Isn't this an invasion of privacy? I don't believe that under this situation, you, Cheng Cheng, can still win!"

"Cheng Cheng lost the case. Cheng Cheng lost the case. Cheng Cheng lost the case!"

"I don't want to see you, it's too low, how dare you sue?"

"Don't think that you can clear your name just by winning the lawsuit against the netizens. Everyone knows what happened. Winning the lawsuit against the netizens doesn't mean anything!"

"Our demands are no longer in the same dimension. You repair your image, and we defend our justice. Let's see who will win in the future!"

"Cheating man, die!"

Soon, a lawyer came out and posted on Weibo:

“From a lawyer’s perspective, I don’t think Cheng Cheng will win, either from a moral or legal perspective.

First of all, legally, blocking and deleting is not equivalent to breaking up, because there is no clear written agreement or verbal agreement to prove that the two parties have ended their relationship. In the absence of a clear breakup statement or behavior, the girl can claim that they are still in a relationship.

Secondly, if the girl exposed Cheng Cheng’s behavior online and these behaviors are true and do not constitute defamation of Cheng Cheng’s reputation, they do not constitute slander and defamation.

Is this true? We didn’t break up, the affair was real, so of course it’s true.”

He said a lot more later, but to sum it up, it means one thing: Cheng Cheng cheated, Cheng Cheng lost the case!
This lawyer, a big V, often speaks out in such social events. He is always there, appearing on time like a jumping clown.

But no one can do anything to him yet, because although he is doing bad things secretly, he is always disguised under a layer of legality, using words like "legally" and "I think".

These are all opinions and cannot be judged as rumors or slander.

Moreover, he is a lawyer and knows how to defend himself. "Prosecution" and "reporting" are completely useless.

Moreover, his behavior is extremely "shrewd" and cunning. He expresses 365 opinions on 365 social events a year, and there is always one opinion that will touch the hearts of some people. Even if you do not support him on the previous thing, you may share the same position with him on the next thing.

Then because of this incident, you will feel that he is still speaking out for justice, pay attention to him, or change your opinion of him.

People like this are really baffling.

Only experienced Internet users can see his true nature: he is an Internet parasite who has long sold his soul to the devil.

As expected, once again, this Weibo post opened up a new battlefield. Zhang Jiao's supporters were cheering excitedly, while Cheng Cheng's supporters were so angry that they wanted to tear the lawyer's mouth apart.

"Can this be washed?"

"You really have no values!"

"clown!"

"When will this b person be banned?"

"Using legal matters to carry out debate, the atmosphere is ruined by people like you!"
