Chapter 189: Saying Hello, Brother Wild Crane! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Zhou Yi shook his head as he looked at the link; he had to admit, there are all kinds of people these days.

At a critical juncture like this, there are actually still people who dare to come and ride the coattails of this trending topic!

This isn't to say anything about him, Zhou Yi; even if he wants to be pedantic, he must be pedantic within the scope permitted by law.

Rather, the reason this case itself can have such high traffic is fundamentally the result of the efforts of the Propaganda Department of Jingzhou City, Handong Province.

They are now looking to take advantage of this Cyber Violence incident, respond to the call, and create a classic case for publicity.

To let everyone know that the internet is not a place beyond the law, and furthermore, that just because everyone is cursing doesn't mean it's right!

So, what is the intent behind saying something like this? Is it to go against the Political and Legal System and the Propaganda Department of Jingzhou City?

Zhou Yi is a bit confused; these days, people online really don't care about anything for the sake of fame and traffic.

Not looking at the content inside for the moment, Zhou Yi just examined Lv Xuewen with slight curiosity.

Honestly, this is the first time Zhou Yi has seen a living, breathing mama's boy; one can only say that character determines your life.

Under the education of such a mother with extreme possessiveness, one will either become stronger or become a pervert...

At this moment, Lv Xuewen looked ahead at Fangfang, who used to be all lovey-dovey with him, but now she wouldn't even glance at him.

But he really didn't dare to go up; he didn't know if what that man who looked like a Lawyer said was true or false, but he really didn't want to go back in.

"Alright then, President Zhou, Lawyer Fang, we'll be heading off now, see you another day!" Liu Zhen stepped forward to shake hands with Zhou Yi and the other person.

See you another day—of course, that meant seeing them when Zhao He and the others were on trial.

Zhao He, the "Fairy" big man, and those few Self-Media accounts are all considered Defamation, only Zhao Wenjing is Insult.

Zhou Yi also drove straight home.

"You're back. Did that young girl from your Company win?" Mother Zhou asked while washing vegetables.

Zhou Yi took off his shoes and lay comfortably on the sofa, then said, "Of course she won. With Lawyer Fang taking the lead, it would be strange if this Lawsuit wasn't won."

"That woman was sentenced to two years."

Mother Zhou was also surprised and said, "Two years? That long?"

"It's alright, basically if she behaves well, she'll be out soon. After all, because of her, it directly led to this Cyber Violence incident."

Mother Zhou sighed deeply, then turned the topic and said, "Xiao Yi, you have to be careful in our family from now on, and talk nicely to other girls."

"These problems can all be discussed properly; the key is that you have to respect others. Look at that family, they were fine, and now everything is ruined."

Going to jail affects more than just the present...

Mother Zhou has a magical power; no matter what topic is being discussed, she can always smoothly transition to urging marriage.

Zhou Mouren let out an "eh," and quickly returned to the bedroom to click on the link and check the content of this article.

This article came from B-Hu, and the author is a lawyer who is said to be very awesome, a big V; the article he wrote was truly impassioned.

"As a legal practitioner, I learned about this incident by chance. Suing over four hundred people at once—many people are celebrating it, thinking this is true rule of law."

"But I don't see it that way. I can say this: those who are celebrating because of this incident are people who don't understand the law at all. They don't even understand the basic principles of law, and they are no different from those who advocate for the Death Penalty from the start."

"Suing over four hundred people at once, I just want to say, is it necessary? As far as I know, because of this Cyber Violence incident, how many people have already filed a Criminal Case!"

"Can't people be satisfied with so many people being sentenced? What does four hundred people mean? Grassroots judicial resources are not that abundant!"

"We can even see that many people were sued just for saying one sentence, and in the end, it was just an apology. Isn't this a waste of judicial resources?"

"..."

The other party said a lot, a long-winded speech, but the core had only one meaning: is it worth it?

Yes, at least from Zhou Yi's perspective, to distill it, the core meaning is just those three words.

It's no different from the likes of Xu Yufeng before.

But it makes people very unhappy, because according to his argument, if you are cursed at, it's enough to punish the primary culprit.

And suing others is a waste of judicial resources and an unnecessary move.

Looking at the comment section again, wow, don't you know, Zhou Yi saw a bunch of people verified as Lawyers all chiming in there.

"Lawyer Liu is right, it's indeed unnecessary. This is grandstanding, or simply suing for the sake of suing!"

"I think so too; these judicial resources didn't need to be wasted on this matter in the first place."

Zhou Yi shook his head and replied directly with one sentence: "I'm afraid the ones grandstanding are you!"

He is also quite busy now, because the video for this Cyber Violence incident can start being prepared.

This video is different from the previous ones because this time it is to cooperate with the Propaganda Department of Jingzhou.

Yes, that's right, this can be considered a kind of cooperative publicity; after all, for the Propaganda Department, their main task is to ensure publicity is effective.

And Zhou Yi has traffic and popularity; most importantly, his previous publicity videos can also be considered an alternative form of legal education.

So this time, when the Propaganda Department planned to exert effort through various channels, the people from the Political and Legal System recommended Zhou Yi.

According to Yang Guang, the comrade from the Propaganda Department who is coordinating with Zhou Yi, the publicity task this time is actually very heavy.

Because a new round of the "Sweep Away Pornography and Strike Down Illegal Publications" campaign has already begun.

Whenever "Sweep Away Pornography and Strike Down Illegal Publications" is mentioned, many people's focus is on the front, but in fact, the back is just as important!

Acts of Cyber Violence such as infringing on Intellectual Property Rights, cursing people online, and Defamation and Insult are all within the scope of the crackdown.

Publicity work never exists independently, but is linked ring by ring; this batch of cases of theirs is an important part of the Cyber Violence aspect of the entire publicity work.

Otherwise, Judge Li and the others wouldn't be so busy they don't even feel like humans anymore.

Anyway, others don't know, but Li Xusheng himself has been contacting both sides for Mediation recently, and he's almost vomited from reading the case files...

Since the task is heavy, in today's era of diversified publicity methods, other publicity channels must be found.

Cooperating with famous local Self-Media is also a common occurrence.

According to Yang Guang, when their leader asked at a meeting who in Jingzhou could be found to help with publicity, the comrades from the Political and Legal System attending the meeting all said one name in unison: Zhou Yi!

The name online is A Yi.

At that time, the leader was shocked and asked why they all recommended him; is this Self-Media person very special?

Here, this is what Yang Guang said.

"At the time, the expression on the face of that comrade from the Political and Legal System was very strange, and he said, 'That person, he's a ruthless character...'"

They didn't understand this sentence at the time, but after watching Zhou Yi's video, they were immediately convinced—it had to be him!

Furthermore, because Zhou Yi was closely related to this matter, even if they didn't seek him out, they would still post this matter online.

Thus, as the two sides chatted, it was like a screw fitting into a nut; they hit it off immediately, and Zhou Yi also began to prepare very seriously!

Zhou Yi opened his computer; on the screen was a new folder, which was the script he had written for this video.

Heaven is my witness, he, Zhou Mouren, had never written scripts in the past; he would just say whatever came to mind...

There was no help for it; this script had to go through a review process.

The first draft, the second draft, the third draft—now it was already the fourth draft.

It had finally been approved.

"Hello, my dear audience lords, I am A Yi. Everyone knows about the recent matter, right? The one about the lawsuit against more than four hundred people at once."

"Yes, that's right. The involved party is an Employee of my Company, and I paid to help with the Legal Aid. Also, the acting Lawyer is Fang Dazhuang. I know many people are quite curious about this matter."

"So today, I will take everyone to comb through this matter from the beginning, and by the way, tell everyone that the internet is never a place beyond the reach of the law!"

"Do not easily set fires, otherwise, you will be just like them, sitting in this Regret Chair and feeling regret."

This segment would be accompanied by Photos of several people who felt regret in this incident, specifically the Photos of them being interrogated while sitting in the Regret Chair.

If it were up to Zhou Yi alone, he naturally wouldn't be able to get these Photos, but the benefit of cooperating with the publicity is that you can get whatever material you want.

For example, the court trial scene—this time there is no need for any Stick Figure Animation; we are using the real stuff directly!

They say that the tearful expressions at a court trial scene can serve as a warning to people; this time, he was truly determined to make the publicity effective.

In short, in one sentence: he must make everyone receive an education within the first few minutes, letting them know that they should not be unscrupulous on the internet!

Having roughly finished the opening, Zhou Yi dialed Yang Guang's phone number.

"Hello, Brother Yang, it's me, Zhou Yi. The opening part is already done. Yes, and then after that, you give me the video of the court trial, as well as the information like the Photos of those Defendants."

Yang Guang on the other end of the phone laughed: "So fast? Little Zhou, your work efficiency is quite high. Alright, it will be very soon."

"By the way, I finally finished catching up on your previous videos. Really, Little Zhou, you really did a great job!"

"Except for the matter of the noise disturbance from the upstairs neighbors, where your 'eye for an eye' approach was a bit wrong, everything else could be called a model of the rule of law!"

Yang Guang laughed over there.

"Of course, that matter is also understandable."

"By the way, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. I think you will be quite happy after you know it."

Huh? Zhou Yi became interested: "Brother Yang, what is it? There aren't many things that can make me happy right now."

He, Zhou Yi, is a man who has "opened a cheat" (hacked); what could be more pleasing than hacking?

"In that Criminal Private Prosecution of Fangfang's, didn't you catch a student with the screen name Young Master Zhao? A junior college student, his name is Zhao He. You know what his old screen name was."

"What is it? Could it be someone I know?" Zhou Yi didn't react for a moment; after all, things like this, apart from in novels, how could they happen in reality?

"Haha, Little Zhou, I watched your previous videos, and in the comments, they would always mention a name called 'Idle Cloud and Wild Crane'."

Huh? Zhou Yi suddenly became excited.

"Brother Yang, are you saying that this Zhao He is..."

"Yes, our reporter went to interview him, and then we found out that his old screen name was 'Idle Cloud and Wild Crane'!"

Holy crap! It really is 'Idle Cloud and Wild Crane'!

Honestly, Zhou Mouren truly detested this name to the core.

When the first video about the backhand recharge of one million was released, the result was this person acting like a know-it-all in the comments, being sarcastic and cynical.

He even wanted to confront him in various ways and made all sorts of vows, but when he got the Judgment and was ready to confront him, that person canceled his account and ran away.

Although one could say that the other party canceling their account and running away meant they had more or less won, for a person like that, he really wanted to see him in reality, really wanted to confront him in reality!

It's just like being scolded by someone online—yes, even if you're scolded in a game, scolded very harshly, and they are also Pretending to be Cool.

Then even if you report them and get them banned, you will still be angry; you just want to bump into them in reality!

It's just that since it's not illegal, even if Zhou Yi is a hacker, it's impossible to dig the other party out from behind the internet.

As a result, who would have thought—it really was 'all that searching and then finding it without any effort'; Zhou Mouren was about to ignore this person, and the other party popped up.

And they sat directly in the Regret Chair...

What should one say? It must be a special kind of fate.

"Surprised, Little Zhou? Alright, I will send you the relevant video in a while; you can put it in your video then."

"Alright, then let's hang up first. We'll stay in touch!"

Zhou Yi was just about to hang up the phone when he suddenly thought of one thing: "By the way, Brother Yang, I found an article here and feel that the other party's remarks are a bit bad. Why don't you take a look?"

"Alright, send it to me, and I'll take a look when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, not long after, the relevant video material was sent to Zhou Yi's email, and Zhou Yi also sent the link over.

It was mainly Photos, as well as a portion of the video material; as for the court trial material, it needs to wait until the trial is over before it can be sent together.

Still feeling uncomfortable, he forwarded the link to Fang Dazhuang, and only then was he satisfied.

Looking at the young man in the video, 'Idle Cloud and Wild Crane', he is very young, but thinking of his previous remarks, it really feels especially magical.

Just like that know-it-all who claimed to have graduated from a prestigious university, except that person was a coward, while 'Idle Cloud and Wild Crane', well, a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement...

And now, Zhao He is also full of all sorts of regret...

Adding Zhao He's content in as well, Zhou Yi laughed: "By the way, among those caught this time, there is also an old friend of ours. Say hello, Brother Wild Crane!"

…………

On the other side, Fang Dazhuang had been busy for a whole day; even if he were made of steel, he was a bit tired.

He took out his phone and subsequently saw Zhou Yi's message.

Hey, a link; Zhou Yi actually sent a link to himself.

"Waste of Judicial Resources?"

Fang Dazhuang read the title word by word, and that strange light began to flicker in his eyes once again.

If Zhou Xinran were here, she would certainly know that Teacher Fang was getting fired up again.

What is Fang Dazhuang's philosophy? Do not commit a small evil; he believes that the rule of law is not just about broad strokes, but that small matters must also be taken seriously!

Furthermore, he does not believe that the law does not punish the masses; as long as a mistake is made, it must be punished by the law!

But now, the content in this post seems to be singing a different tune than his own...

The second update today, thanks to Canshang Nian, Bingxin Lan, Moli Zhi Shang, Suisui Daodao, Yuan Zhouxu, idateyou, Book Friend 1611, 16dio, Yijie Jiao Qiutu, Shuhuang, Feimao Wuyu, litaiping, Jinshuiloutai Xian Shiyue, naihe, and Xiaoxinyiyi de Renlei; thank you to these brothers for their tips. I will try to reach twenty thousand words again today; the Internet Violence plot should be able to conclude today...
