"The defendant says his domestic violence had a reason, and that reason is Xie Tongtong."
"The defendant also says, why didn't he beat others, but only Xie Tongtong? Let Xie Tongtong find reasons in herself?"
"The defendant's lawyer even claims that Xie Tongtong is self-harming."
Gu Chen said coldly, "I think such remarks are simply absurd."
"Do you think that domestic violence thirty-six times over two years, leaving Xie Tongtong permanently disabled, with a necrotic left kidney, permanently needing a colostomy bag, a ruptured duodenum, intestinal obstruction, multiple severe injuries, can be lightly dismissed as family conflict?"
"The defendant is wielding a knife against my client — is that family conflict?"
"Which family's conflicts involve using a knife on someone? Which family's conflicts cause someone to be permanently disabled? This is unreasonable."
Gu Chen was speechless, completely speechless.
