Chapter 285: Young People Shouldn't Be Too Arrogant! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Pusa Xiong's current mood is very complicated.

This really is a huge surprise; he thought he and A Yi weren't that close, so he just wanted to ask someone to help out by reposting the video.

It's like getting into a conflict with someone on the street and calling a friend you aren't that close with to help you hold your ground, only for your good brother to show up and, without a word, swing a machete and start hacking people!

And he hacked from one end of the street to the other, blade rising and falling, blade rising and falling, without even blinking!

As for the requirement, it was merely to have him join his Company, sign a contract, and write copy for him.

Not to mention that he is just a bottom-tier writer, even those internet writers with some fame couldn't possibly have such treatment.

At this moment, even Pusa Xiong, who had watched many of A Yi's videos, gave birth to different thoughts: that guy, what is he after...

As for filming the video for the whole incident, that doesn't even count as a thing.

This is also the point Zhou Yi can't explain; of course, he is just doing it for his own amusement!

The System's money is there to be used, and he gets to see those Keyboard Warriors on the internet get sanctioned—why wouldn't he do it?

However, it is a pity that few people believe it; everyone thinks he must be after something, among which the probability of "for money" takes up the largest share.

But since A Yi said to do it, then let's do it. Those people barking wildly on the internet, someone has to stand up and let them receive an education!

Pusa Xiong packed his things and went straight to Jingzhou; many things can only be discussed in person.

And Zhou Yi in Lincheng was also preparing to return to Jingzhou.

"Really Mom, that girl is very good, but we aren't suitable. Yes, so please stop making me go on blind dates, okay? Really, stop it."

After talking with his mother for a long time, Zhou Yi finally obtained a promise that she would temporarily stop arranging blind dates for him.

He hurried back to Jingzhou, waiting for Pusa Xiong to come over, sign the contract, and go through the procedures—these go without saying.

After a period of time, Pusa Xiong returned to Jingnan City, and with him were Zhou Yi and Zhou Xinran.

Zhou Xinran will be responsible for Pusa Xiong's preliminary Litigation activities here.

Of course, the main work, such as collecting and securing evidence and how to file the Lawsuit, is all done by Lawyer Fang and his team here in Jingzhou; Zhou Xinran coming over is mainly to handle some procedural issues.

Because Lawyer Fang has been a bit busy lately and can't get away, he let Zhou Yi and the others go first.

As for Zhou Yi, coming over is firstly for filming, and secondly, it's to take a trip while he's at it.

He had heard Pusa Xiong say before that although Jingnan City isn't a big place, the scenery is excellent.

Another Double Eleven has arrived; although many large enterprises were dealt a blow this year, Double Eleven is still very lively. It can be said that all major e-commerce platforms have gone mad.

One hundred billion in one hour and forty-seven minutes, all kinds of outrageous records started to appear, and the feeling it gives you is that the whole country is frantically buying things on this day.

Of course, the subsequent logistics explosion, where things you bought don't arrive for a month or two, is just a minor issue.

Zhou Yi didn't participate in this year's Double Eleven at all; anyway, he didn't want to do math problems anymore. Not only does the stuff you buy after calculating back and forth not save much money, but waiting for the courier also makes you feel exhausted.

And today is October 26th, sunny, another day suitable for filing a Lawsuit.

Lawyer Fang and that team at the law firm worked together, truly forgetting to eat and sleep, and spent about twenty-plus days securing and organizing over 5,300 accounts across major platforms involved in verbal abuse and insults.

Among them, about 500 accounts already met the standard for likes and comments.

Of course, this is just a preliminary organization; these accounts are distributed across major platforms, and it is certain that many users' identities overlap.

But even with the overlap, this number is still outrageous!

Removing the overlapping parts, there must be three or four thousand people.

Compared to the previous Internet Violence against Fangfang, this time, the intensity is even greater!

That time, they didn't really sue everyone who had cursed at people; they chose typical cases.

But this time is different; Lawyer Fang has hardened his heart. He feels that these people on the internet have a slightly serious case of amnesia; the incident happened not long ago, and now they have all forgotten.

Since that's the case, this time we'll play big. I believe that after having such an experience, those people will at least think twice next time they want to continue cursing wildly on the internet.

Pusa Xiong was in a daze when he heard this number; this matter is too big. He could imagine that once this news spreads, it will definitely detonate the internet!

By then, his reputation as a "stalking pervert" might not be mentioned by anyone anymore, but it doesn't mean his reputation will be good.

But it doesn't matter; by then, everyone will also discover that this matter was still helped by A Yi.

Just how much evidence and information for so many people's accounts must there be? Anyway, this time it was no longer something Zhou Yi's big bag could hold, so Zhou Mouren bought two sacks directly.

Yes, the kind of sack you are imagining.

Packed full with two sacks.

This is only a portion of the evidence that cannot be submitted as electronic evidence, and the rest is all on a USB drive.

Zhou Xinran carried a briefcase, and Zhou Yi and Pusa Xiong each carried a sack as they got out of the car at the entrance of the Jingnan City People's Court.

The first thing they have to do is to sue the operating companies behind a total of fifteen APPs to obtain the users' personal information, names, and contact details, etc., mainly contact details.

Thus, when the three of them walked into the Jingnan City People's Court carrying two sacks, the staff in the Court, as well as lawyers and many Plaintiffs and Defendants, were all stunned.

Among them, the young bailiff at the entrance looked at these three people with a nervous expression. At this moment, he felt that the other party didn't look like they were here to file a lawsuit, but rather like they were here to smash the place.

"Wait, what are you... doing?" The young bailiff finally stopped the three of them and asked.

This scene was truly too outrageous; who comes to Court carrying sacks!

Pusa Xiong didn't speak, and Zhou Yi smiled there: "Comrade, of course we are here to file a Lawsuit. Who comes to Court for no reason? If it's not to file a Lawsuit, it's to respond to one."

File a Lawsuit... The young bailiff looked at that sack of things and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

"But this is a bit too much..."

"Oh, the people we are suing are a bit numerous," Zhou Yi said casually, looking relaxed.

A bit numerous... The young bailiff couldn't ask anything more, so he followed the three of them to the Case Filing window to start queuing. After queuing for a while, it was soon their turn.

Looking at those two sacks, the staff member in charge of reception was also stunned, asked the same question as the young bailiff, and then also swallowed their saliva.

"So, the people being sued are a bit numerous, how many is that?"

"Oh, not many, ten thousand or eight thousand," Zhou Mouren said casually again: "Mainly because it hasn't been determined yet; isn't this first about suing those platforms?"

This was of course an exaggeration, as the overlapping parts hadn't been removed yet.

But hearing this number, the young bailiff who had been following them had a strange look in his eyes; he looked at Zhou Yi as if he were looking at a pervert.

However, he quickly turned his head and looked at the staff inside with a look of pity.

No need to say more, I wish everyone a happy work day; not to mention anything else, just reviewing these pieces of evidence alone must take a great deal of effort.

It's a good thing I'm not the one doing that job.

Upon hearing this number, the staff member inside was left dumbfounded; honestly, he had worked in the Court system for many years, but he had never heard of such an outrageous situation.

Even the Case Interpretation that Jingzhou City had been heavily promoting, along with the strict crackdown on Cyber Violence, only involved a few hundred people.

"Comrade, comrade, please wait a moment. Let me go call our Director over; your situation is a bit special."

It really was too special, but the Court is not just any other place; when facing a Lawsuit, unless it is a malicious false Litigation, the Court must accept it as long as it passes the review.

As long as it doesn't kill you, you work yourself to death.

If you pull a 007 schedule at a Company, everyone will roast you to death, but in the Court, everyone is just a beast of burden.

Working overtime is a normal phenomenon; otherwise, with so few people doing the work and the requirement to complete the review within a certain number of days according to procedure, wouldn't they have to work overtime?

The staff member returned quickly, bringing the Director behind him.

"Director Bu, look at what they have here..."

Director Bu's hair was also a bit sparse; he waved his hand to signal him to stop talking, then asked, "Which one is the Plaintiff, and which one is the agent?"

Zhou Xinran stood out: "Hello, I am the agent Zhou Xinran, and this is my client, Mr. Wang Yanhao."

"You are a Lawyer, right? Since you are a Lawyer, that makes things easier. I must remind you that there must be a reason to file a Lawsuit in Court; you cannot just file one for no reason. Otherwise, in a situation like yours, it would be a huge waste of judicial resources, you know?"

This was what Director Bu said after some thought, mainly because he didn't know what they wanted to sue for, and just hearing the number of several thousand was too outrageous.

Therefore, things must be made clear; if you use a pile of fabricated materials to file a Lawsuit, engaging in malicious Litigation, then it is very likely to involve Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble.

Do things as they should be done; you absolutely cannot act recklessly.

If you promise someone a salary, you must pay it properly, rather than specifically exchanging it for a pile of coins; if you do that, you are Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble.

"Comrade, I can guarantee that our Lawsuit is absolutely well-founded. The reason there are so many materials and so many people is that the target of this Litigation is those who were hurling abuse online."

Zhou Xinran continued: "A case of Cyber Violence once occurred in Jingnan City, you know about it, right?"

Hurling abuse online... Director Bu didn't go online much and looked a bit blank, but the staff member next to him hurriedly said: "Is it that case about the web novel author who supposedly flopped and was being stalked by a pervert?"

Pfft! A laugh rang out, and it was Zhou Mouren who laughed.

Pusa Xiong said quite helplessly: "Comrade, the flopped author you are talking about is me."

If you're going to talk about the author, just talk about the author; why do you have to add 'flopped author'!

The staff member hurriedly apologized, but Director Bu finally remembered.

"So you intend to sue everyone who abused you online? But I must remind you, young man, that doing this is actually not worth the loss."

Director Bu was actually giving a well-intentioned reminder, because such a Lawsuit really doesn't have much significance.

Most people are only guilty of Defamation of Reputation; if they liked the post or something, you could ask for more compensation, but with so many people, it is obvious that many of them just cursed a few times casually.

In such a situation, Director Bu felt it really wasn't worth filing a Lawsuit.

"No, Comrade, I have already decided; let's proceed with the Lawsuit." Pusa Xiong said quietly: "Perhaps one person only cursed once, but what I endured was not just one person's Cyber Violence."

"This time, I just want them to know that just because there are many of you, it doesn't mean you're safe!"

Relying on having numbers, are you? It doesn't matter; the big shot next to me loves it when there are many of you. He and another big shot surnamed Fang can find you one by one, and make you all feel the existence of the law one by one!

Director Bu didn't speak again; one piece of advice was enough. Since they insisted on filing a Lawsuit, their Court had to act according to the law.

It's just... looking at those two sacks and the USB drive brought up, Director Bu sighed. I only have these few hairs left now; it seems they are destined to fall out completely.

It was fortunate that the economic level of Jingnan was quite good, so the number of Court staff was also quite large.

Putting down everything, Zhou Yi smiled: "Then, Comrade, we will be leaving now. I remember the review period is seven days, but it can be extended. It doesn't matter, though; just contact us after the review is complete."

Director Bu nodded with a blank expression; he almost asked, what kind of person are you, and why do you know so much about the Court's situation?

Watching the three of them walk out looking relaxed, in the Case Filing hall, the beasts of burden of the Jingnan City People's Court sighed in unison; this is probably what life is.

Practice has shown that when there is enough overtime, even two sacks of materials are not a problem.

In these few days, Pusa Xiong met Wang Jiajia again. Wang Jiajia also tried her best to take out her savings; there was no other way. She said she wasn't afraid of going to jail, but that was just talk.

Regarding this situation, Pusa Xiong didn't say anything more. She had tried her best; even if she sold her house and car, she had to have them first. Her own house was still rented, and after giving this money, she might not even have money for rent.

And today, the Jingnan City Court finally called; the review had passed, and the Case Filing was complete.

However, this Case Filing was for those Companies, because there were really too many of them, so Zhou Xinran and Lawyer Fang were too lazy to open an Investigation Warrant to investigate again; they just filed the Lawsuit directly, solving it all at once, simple and fast.

Regarding this kind of Litigation that obtains personal user information through platforms, there are actually quite a few every year.

So, the lawsuit itself is just a formality, and the platforms basically cooperate.

It's just that when this number of people was sent to the Companies, the operating companies of more than a dozen APPs were stunned.

"What did you say? Are they crazy to want so many people? Are you sure you read it right? To want so many people, that means suing so many people at once!"

At the Zhalang headquarters, inside the office building, a vice president in charge of related work had a dazed look on his face.

The legal counsel in front of him also looked speechless: "We carefully inquired with the comrades at the Court; it really is that many. The other party really wants to sue everyone who abused him all at once."

"Among them, there are also hundreds of Criminal Private Prosecution cases..."

Although most of these Lawsuits will end in Mediation, has such a large-scale Litigation ever appeared in history? It seems like I really haven't seen it.

"Forget it, give it to them. By the way, the platform should also start an investigation; for some accounts that are maliciously stirring up trouble, be prepared to ban them."

This incident was a disaster area for them at Zhalang.

"Sigh, why are there more and more people like this now? Before it was that guy called A Yi, and now an ordinary person is playing such a big game. Is it worth it? Is there anything that can't be talked about properly!"

The reactions of other company platforms were similar to Zhalang's; they all felt it was outrageous, but they didn't dare to leak it.

Thus, amidst the undercurrents, the relevant personal information was continuously sent to the Jingnan City People's Court, and then given to Zhou Xinran.

The team on Lawyer Fang's side began to organize again, compressing the duplicate accounts among them. After screening, more than seven thousand people were compressed to more than four thousand seven hundred.

In all things, one fears being serious; if you don't investigate, you will never know.

Zhou Yi can guarantee that there are definitely many accounts in here using fake Real-name Registration.

However, take it slow, no need to rush; if it were just a single account, you certainly couldn't find the person behind the scenes.

But now, with so much account information laid out in front of us, if we directly file a Lawsuit, then there will be quite a show to watch.

Using someone else's identity information for Real-name Registration, and also crazily engaging in acts like verbal abuse—guess what kind of behavior this is?

This is no longer just simple Defamation and Insult; it involves the infringement of personal information, involves the buying and selling of personal information, and perhaps without your knowledge, your identity information already has all sorts of magical records on it.

Now, the moment to reveal the answer has arrived, and Zhou Yi feels that many people will have to thank him this time.

This matter truly has nothing to do with him, but someone has to do something.

Second shot, so hot, a fat man like Jiu Jian, really so hot.
