As soon as this question was asked, the livestream chat exploded. Bullet comments instantly blew up, with endless streams of "hahaha" and "666" flooding the screen.
Some teased that this was the "dilemma of the century," while others gloated, waiting to see Cheng Xin make a fool of himself.
At that moment, the chat was flying by at a breakneck pace.
"Outrageous! And it's a female neighbor!"
"This is killing me! Is this guy a comedian?"
"What a bizarre question! The host must be completely dumbfounded!"
"Can't wait to see the great Lawyer Cheng crash and burn! Hahaha!"
However, to everyone's surprise, Cheng Xin didn't show the slightest hint of panic.
He simply pondered for a brief moment, then answered with a straight face.
"Your home is a private space, not a public area. It's not a violation! Your neighbor is just making trouble out of nothing."
"This has nothing to do with gender. Whether they are male or female, you are innocent!"
After a brief silence in the livestream, an even louder roar of laughter erupted, and the chat poured down like a waterfall.
"Seriously, that works?"
"Holy crap! The host is amazing! He actually gave a serious answer to that!"
"What a god-tier response! I'm on my knees for the great Lawyer Cheng!"
Looking at the chaotic stream of comments scrolling across his screen, Cheng Xin's lips curled up slightly.
To be honest, these bizarre questions were actually quite amusing.
"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Next one, please."
Shaking his head with a chuckle, Cheng Xin quieted down the enthusiastic chat before clicking on the next video call request.
A young mother appeared on the screen. Her eyes were red and puffy, as if she had just finished crying.
"Hello, host. I wanted to ask about child custody..."
The young mother's voice choked up slightly.
Hearing this, Cheng Xin immediately wiped the smile from his face, his expression turning deeply serious.
"Please, go ahead."
The young mother began to share her story. It turned out that she and her husband were going through a messy divorce.
Not only was her husband having an affair, but he was also physically abusive.
She wanted to fight for custody of their child, but her husband's family was incredibly wealthy, and she was terrified she wouldn't stand a chance.
Cheng Xin listened patiently, asking occasional questions to gather more details.
The viewers in the chat also quieted down, listening intently to the mother's account.
Occasional words of comfort and encouragement drifted across the screen.
"Based on your situation, there is a very high probability that you will win."
Having understood the full picture, Cheng Xin offered his professional legal advice.
"Your husband's infidelity and domestic violence are severe breaches of the marital union."
"When deciding custody, the court will always prioritize the child's best interests."
"And your husband is clearly unfit to raise a child."
Hearing Cheng Xin's words, the young mother felt as though she had been thrown a lifeline, and a glimmer of hope rekindled in her eyes.
"Really? Can I really win custody of my child?"
"Of course. I will do everything in my power to help you."
Without a moment's hesitation, Cheng Xin looked at the woman on the other side of the screen, his expression solemn and his voice incredibly resolute.
"If you need, I can represent you as your lawyer and help you fight this case."
The young mother thanked him repeatedly in a flurry of emotion. Before hanging up, she choked out,
"Thank you, Lawyer Cheng. You are a truly good man."
The viewers in the livestream were deeply moved by Cheng Xin's dedication and sense of responsibility, and the chat flooded with praise.
"Damn, Lawyer Cheng is so incredibly sweet!"
"What an absolute angel of a lawyer! I'm in love!"
"Instant follow! Lawyer Cheng is the GOAT!"
"Wait, have you guys forgotten? If she asks the great Lawyer Cheng to fight her case, he might just end up sending the young mom to prison instead!"
...
After ending the call, Cheng Xin, now fully in the zone, didn't waste any time and connected directly to the next caller.
As more and more viewers called in, the consultations grew increasingly fascinating.
The cases Cheng Xin encountered grew more and more diverse.From petty neighborhood disputes to massive economic lawsuits involving fortunes, he handled them all with ease, providing reasonable solutions one after another and displaying extraordinary professional competence.
Naturally, there were also mischievous viewers who deliberately threw bizarre questions his way, trying to put Cheng Xin on the spot.
A college student connected to the stream with a miserable expression, accusing fiercely and sorrowfully, "Host, my wife was raped!"
The live stream chat instantly exploded as viewers began guessing which beast could be so daring.
Cheng Xin, who had just resolved an economic case, was also taken aback and quickly pressed for details, "What happened? Tell me in detail."
He was genuinely bewildered. After all, with this guy crying like that, it meant the matter was practically set in stone. Why on earth would an ironclad rape case require consulting a lawyer like him now?!
That raised some serious questions!
Under Cheng Xin's solemn gaze, the student cried even harder, recounting his tragic encounter in broken sentences: "I just came back from the library last night and found my wife lying on the bed in disarray, while my roommate was lying right next to her..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream comments blew up instantly!
"What the fuck! For real? That is so... unbelievable!"
"Which beast did this? Simply devoid of human conscience!"
"Brother, did you call the police? You must severely punish the perpetrator!"
"And then? Did you call the police? Did you find the suspect?"
Cheng Xin furrowed his brows deeply. How was this plot development getting stranger and stranger? A college student's roommate managed to rape the guy's wife right inside their dorm room? How deep were the perpetrator's connections?!
It was safe to say they had completely disregarded the law!
At this thought, Cheng Xin's fists clenched involuntarily. Having been reborn into this life, his mission was to restore justice and clear skies to the world! No matter how powerful the culprit was, even if it took the king of heaven himself, he would make sure they ended up behind bars!Hearing Cheng Xin’s question, the college student sobbed even harder, gasping for breath.
"I... I haven't called the police yet... because... because..."
"Because of what?"
Listening to the stuttered reply, Cheng Xin, already anxious, felt his patience wearing thin. He wasn't the only one; the comments section in the live stream was scrolling frantically.
"Buddy, just say it! You’re killing us with suspense!"
"What the hell is going on? What happened to your wife?"
"Damn, that’s absolutely beastly. What year is this? How can things like this still happen?"
The college student finally managed to choke out the second half of his sentence.
"Because... because my roommate said my wife... she’s an inflatable doll..."
"Even if I called the police, no one would care."
Cheng Xin: "..."
Live stream: "..."
After a moment of eerie silence, the live stream comments exploded again. This time, it wasn't anger, but a deluge of "Hahahahahaha."
"Hahahahahaha! I’m dying! I thought something real happened!"
"An inflatable doll? Buddy, you’re too much!"
"Lawyer Cheng, hurry up and help this guy out! His 'wife' has been violated!"
Cheng Xin, whose heart had been nearly consumed by rage just a moment ago, was taken aback. Then, he felt the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably. He had thought this was a major case. It turned out to be another troll!
He took a deep breath, struggling to maintain his professional image.
"This student, according to the laws of our country, the victim of a rape must be a living human being."
"Your inflatable doll... it does not fall under the scope of legal protection."
The student didn't seem to grasp the situation yet.
"Huh? Then... then what should I do? My wife has been defiled..."
