CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: IS THIS WHAT A LAWLESS MADMAN IS?

The next day.

Gu Chen started the livestream.

Within less than half an hour, the livestream quickly exceeded 100,000 viewers once again!

[Here we go, here we go! The Lawless Madman has started streaming!]

[We can watch the Lawless Madman stream again!!]

[I just joined the livestream. Can someone tell me why you all call him the Lawless Madman?]

[If you search online, you’ll know. Gu Chen has fought two lawsuits and already achieved a six-kill! He sent the lawyer, judge, audience, media, all of them in, whether he was the plaintiff or the defendant. You tell me, isn’t that impressive?]

[Holy cow, that’s impressive! Isn’t Gu Chen supposed to be an intern lawyer? Are intern lawyers this amazing?]

[He’s supposedly an intern lawyer, but have you ever seen an intern lawyer sending a judge in? Even ByteDance’s legal department wants to recruit Gu Chen with a million-dollar annual salary, but he refused!!]

[Gu Chen even helped ByteDance Company perfect their contract!! So awesome!!]

...

Gu Chen said: "Today, I’m livestreaming for you, let’s spread legal knowledge in a simple and easy way, so everybody, please don’t send gifts to interrupt me."

Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, a bunch of viewers started sending gifts in the livestream.

[Xinghe] sent the streamer Douyin Number One*1!

[Wang Wenxuan] sent the streamer Carnival*1!

[Chen Yang] sent the streamer Hot Air Balloon*1!

Gu Chen said: "Thanks to the bosses for the gifts, but now it’s time to spread legal knowledge, so please stop sending gifts for now."

"Today, let’s discuss a case: If I rape myself, is it illegal?"

When Gu Chen said this, the viewers in the livestream were all dumbfounded.

Rape is a relatively common topic that often appears in the news.

But me raping myself, what kind of behavior is that? Never heard of it!

Gu Chen said: "There’s this case, where a female student A had a dispute with female student B, and A hired a guy to rape B, but the guy got the wrong person and raped A instead. What crime do you think was committed in this case?"

The viewers in the livestream.

[What??]

[Hahaha, holy cow, what a bizarre case, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.]

[Uh, I don’t know either, how would I know what crime was committed in this case, but A really got unlucky, is this considered raping myself?]

[666666666666!]

[Come on, tell us, or no more gifts!!]

And just then, even the big guy showed up.

[Milk-white Snow]: "Hurry up, tell us, and I’ll send gifts!!"

Gu Chen said: "In this case, A is a criminal suspect, A hired the guy to rape B, objectively completed the rape, even though the wrong target was chosen, it belongs to an error in targeting, but A also constitutes rape."

"And as for the guy who got the wrong person, it belongs to an error in object recognition, also constitutes rape."

"But if A reports himself to the police, although there’s an intent subjectively, since he becomes the victim, considering humanitarian and socialist perspectives, criminal responsibility should not be pursued."

"If the guy had successfully raped B, then A should be treated as a co-conspirator to rape."

The viewers in the livestream started sending barrage comments.

[Whoa, got it, got it!]

[So that’s what this case is about!!]

[Gu Chen is awesome! I understood immediately! Summary: A is the joke.]

[Milk-white Snow] rewarded the streamer Kunpeng Wanli*1!

The rich big guy came up and gave Gu Chen a reward of 160,000 Kunpeng Wanli!!

Gu Chen continued analyzing the case for the viewers, "Back in the 80s, there was a beautiful woman riding her bike home when she encountered a criminal intending to molest her. To calm the criminal down, she pretended to agree and said she wanted to change location, and then when the criminal wasn’t paying attention, she pushed him into a cesspool. The criminal tried to climb up, and she kicked him down again. Do you think the beauty committed a crime?"

The viewers heard another brand new case.

[Uh? Don’t know, seems like there’s no crime?]

[Probably criminal, don’t know.]

[If I knew, I wouldn’t be sending barrage comments here, hurry, hurry, tell us how it’s judged?]

[I think the first time the beauty kicked the criminal in was legitimate defense, the second time might be excessive defense, how can you drown the criminal like that? You’re not letting him climb up.]

Gu Chen said: "Does this case still need explanation? If it were me, I’d not only stomp him a few more times, but also smash him with a brick. This is all legitimate defense, not excessive defense. If the criminal climbed out of the cesspool, the woman would be unfortunate. Facing a rapist, you can bash him with a brick."

"Moreover, there usually aren’t cameras in cesspools, whatever brick you use to smash him, isn’t it supposed that he hit it himself?"

The viewers in the livestream: "?????"

[Huh?]

[Learned something, learned something!! Hahaha, what brick bashes him, he hit it himself.]

[This cracked me up, Lawyer Gu, didn’t see that coming, being so ruthless against criminals!]

[This is the Lawless Madman, how did you think Gu Chen became the Lawless Madman?]

Gu Chen said: "There’s another case, there’s a person named Zhang San, Zhang San often likes seeking women of ill repute. What do we call this in legal terms? PC, right? But he found twenty women and never paid them a single cent. Even if each time counted as a thousand bucks, he freeloaded two thousand bucks. Does Zhang San constitute fraud?"

The viewers started typing question marks again.

[Milk-white Snow]: "Uh, I feel like it constitutes, after all, there’s an agreement, eventually not paying, isn’t that fraud? And even if it doesn’t constitute fraud, I feel like it should be prosecuted, Zhang San’s behavior belongs to PC."

[I feel the same, indeed.]

[This surely is a crime, it can’t be not a crime, right?]

[Zhang San being so arrogant, is this the Lawless Madman?]

Gu Chen took a sip of water, "No, it does not constitute a crime, the law does not protect unjust enrichment, such people’s interests are not protected by law, so they can only cry themselves, no way to sue Zhang San for fraud."

[Milk-white Snow]: "Doesn’t Zhang San constitute PC? He has to be prosecuted for that."

Gu Chen said: "Having a monetary relationship is necessary to constitute PC, Zhang San didn’t pay, doesn’t count as PC."

[Milk-white Snow]: "?????"

[Milk-white Snow] rewarded the streamer Carnival*1!

[Milk-white Snow] rewarded the streamer Carnival*10!!

The rich guy came up again and rewarded Gu Chen with 30,000 gifts!!

The viewers in the livestream went into hysterics.

[Hahahahahaha, Lawless Madman! Learned something!!]

[This time I really learned something! Lawyer Gu is amazing!!]

[That’s Zhang San, why do I feel Zhang San is the real Lawless Madman!]

[Lawyer Gu, when will it be time to link up with viewers, I want to see what weird questions they might ask you!!]
