Chapter 325: So, you have so much money, yet you still won't donate?

At this very moment in the agency shop, the manager's face was dark, and the remaining few agency Managers looked at each other; someone couldn't help but say, "Manager, it's just blocking a keyhole, how is that a crime?"

The manager kept a gloomy face and didn't speak; he was also puzzled, because in the past, other agents in their shop had done this, and not only that, they had even bought "call-you-to-death" software to mess with people, but nothing ever happened.

Why was there a problem now?

But asking him to go argue with the police... on one hand, he didn't dare, and on the other hand, after all, it was just an Employee of his shop, not a relative or friend, so there was no need to go that far.

The agency Manager who spoke earlier turned around to look and discovered that Zhou Yi and Chu Lan were still standing at the entrance, and his anger suddenly flared up.

"What are you still doing here? Our shop doesn't welcome you!"

To have the nerve to call the police to arrest someone after Skipping the Agent—regardless of whether the person arrested was themselves or not, all these agency Managers now felt a sense of shared hatred for the enemy.

Is there any reason left? Is it easy for an agent to earn a little money? One after another, they all think about using the agent's resources, and then when it's time to pay, they just kick the agent aside, right!

So after this Employee finished speaking, the other few agency Managers had already gathered around, the expressions on their faces extremely unpleasant.

Facing such a situation, Zhou Yi just smiled and suddenly asked, "How should I address this Manager?"

"What, you still want to have someone arrest me? Let me tell you, I, your father, walk straight and stand tall. You call the police! You have someone arrest me! If you don't have me arrested today, I'll take your surname!"

The brother's statement was enough to make one's blood boil, and then Zhou Yi cleared the way; as a result, very soon, more police arrived at the agency shop.

"Feng Wangdong, right? You are suspected of the crime of Intentional Damage to Property and are now being served a Criminal Summons in accordance with the law. Come back with us!"

What? The Manager called Feng Wangdong was speechless right there, his finger pointing at Zhou Yi trembling; why was this happening!

"On what grounds? What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? What did I do wrong? You police are colluding with him, right? I'm going to report you, I'm going to petition, why am I being arrested too!"

Having reacted, Manager Feng kept shouting and struggling there, and the others seemed to have the idea of stepping forward to help.

As a result, the elderly lead police officer directly issued a Warning!

"Feng Wangdong, first warning. If you continue to resist, we will use mandatory measures!"

However, it was obvious that once a person loses their head, they won't listen to a single warning, and sometimes, there is the so-called strength in numbers.

Relying on having many people, they always think they can wrestle with the state's apparatus of violence.

Then, seeing that many people in the shop were starting to shove, the old police officer didn't hesitate for a second and used a grappling technique to firmly control Manager Feng!

Although one looked very young and the other had hair that was turning white, the young man was no match at all, and the Silver Bracelets were already on.

Then, the others who were prepared to rely on their numbers to come up and argue properly calmed down.

Zhou Yi shook his head as he watched; no choice, the Silver Bracelets, theoretically speaking, have the same effect as the Regret Chair, coming with their own calming aura.

Having controlled the entire situation, the old police officer then said, "Did you tell that Ge Jingli that if he skipped the agent, he should go block the keyhole, and also say that doing so wouldn't be a problem at all?"

"And you also helped keep watch while the other party went to block the keyhole, right?"

Manager Feng subconsciously said, "Yeah, but, but is that a crime? I just said a word, and when I went there, I didn't even do anything!"

"Alright, let's go. You... sigh, how do I even talk to you!"

The old police officer looked at the young man in front of him, feeling a bit speechless.

Zhou Yi even covered his eyes, unable to bear watching; he could only say that legal education still had a long way to go.

It's fine if you don't do it yourself?

That's too naive. Besides, don't go around telling others to do this or that; everyone knows the "wealth secrets" are written in the Criminal Law, but you can't just look at those "wealth secrets."

You at least have to look at the content after the "wealth secrets"—you have to see how many years you'll be sentenced.

This time, as they continued to take people away, no one dared to speak; out of the total number of people in the shop, two were taken away at once, which also made these young people realize the majesty of the Criminal Law for the first time!

In the past, when the shop's seniors passed on experience, they would say that blocking a keyhole, or finding a car and using a steel wool ball to block the exhaust pipe, or using glue on the windshield wipers, wasn't a crime—it was just to disgust them.

They had always done it this way, but today, something went wrong.

It's just that Zhou Yi didn't know their thoughts; otherwise, he would definitely tell them that if you walk the night path too often, you will eventually encounter a ghost. As long as you meet one person who takes things seriously, then just wait.

Although with his level of Criminal Law knowledge he couldn't be entirely certain, he could guess: incitement, plus being an Accomplice to the crime of Intentional Damage to Property—it might be even heavier than that Ge Jingli...

Only the manager was left, and after being dazed for a long time, he finally took out his phone and began to notify the families of these two people.

Arrested for no reason, and it was a Criminal Summons, sigh.

At Yuefu Residential Quarter, Wang Wucheng had prepared the materials; he had been talking with Xia Ziyan for the past few days, preparing for a divorce by agreement, which was also the advice given by Lawyer Fang.

Even for Fang, who was a litigation maniac, he didn't mean he had to go to Court for every single thing in daily life.

Especially for something like a divorce, if it can be negotiated, it should be, while also collecting and securing evidence.

As a result, after negotiating for several days, nothing was accomplished. Wang Wucheng truly couldn't imagine that the girl he once loved so much could be so aggressive regarding property!

He didn't know where she looked it up, but she said the Bride Price was a gift from the man's parents to the woman's parents, so he had no right to ask for it back.

And the dowry was pre-marital property given to her by her parents, belonging to her personal property, and on top of that, she owned half of the house...

To summarize, you have no right to ask for the Bride Price, the dowry is still mine, and I have half of the house and the car!

How could they negotiate? It could be said that in the half-year they had been married, he hadn't earned much money himself, and the bulk of the small family's assets were provided by Wang Wucheng's parents.

As a result, the other party wanted everything she could name; Wang Wucheng felt he had to file a Lawsuit, no matter what, he had to file a Lawsuit!

"Fine, go ahead and sue! I'm telling you, I've also hired a Lawyer here. I knew long ago that you were holding a grudge against me because of the Bride Price and the house; luckily, I kept an ace up my sleeve!"

"Otherwise, I dated you for a year and have been married for almost a year—wouldn't this youth of mine have been fed to the dogs!"

In the room, Xia Ziyan's words made Wang Wucheng's fists clench tightly.

Her logic left him not knowing what to say; he wasn't a man good at expressing himself, so he could only silently walk out of the room. Then he would file a Lawsuit; he could only trust that Teacher Fang.

After Wang Wucheng left, Xia Ziyan hurriedly dialed a phone number.

"Lawyer Wang, right? The consultations you provided before are definitely okay, right? Now he should be about to file a Lawsuit; how about I hire you to defend me?"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Daoren, also known as Wang Dazhuang, who had returned to the scene and just won a few cases, was feeling extremely good about himself.

Especially with this divorce case, to be reasonable, he had never fought such a wealthy battle before.

His side had the name on the property deed, proof of buying the house after marriage, and proof that the Bride Price was given directly to the parents; this was comparable to full American-style equipment.

Just like that micro-management master back in the day who ordered to "move the machine gun five meters to the left," Wang Daoren now had only one feeling: the advantage is with me!

Currently, the divorce rate remains high, and many people don't part on good terms; it is very normal for things to be a mess when divorcing.

Therefore, Wang Daoren felt that he should not touch any Criminal Law and should just focus on handling divorce cases well.

Inside Tiancheng Law Firm, Lawyer Fang looked at Zhou Xinran in front of him and said, "Don't misunderstand, I just purely want to handle a divorce case. Don't you think this kind of situation better demonstrates one's ability?"

Zhou Cainiao had nothing to say; she probably couldn't grasp the feeling that Lawyer Fang was talking about.

How great a crushing victory is—to have a good time from start to finish!

Even a great lawyer like Lawyer Fang would not easily do anything in a Criminal Case, or one could say, in a Criminal Case, the things that need to be done are all outside the courtroom.

Once you have already entered the courtroom, the matter is settled; no matter how good you are at Debate, it will be of no use.

And just in such a harmonious atmosphere, unknowingly, a scoop suddenly appeared on the internet!

"Recently, a certain well-known Up Master purchased a luxury mansion worth tens of millions and engaged in Skipping the Agent after already being led to view the property by an agent!"

"And afterwards, they called the police to have the agent taken away!"

This news appeared very early, but it only recently made it to the hot searches on Zhihu, because there were many "pure passersby" below tirelessly popularizing the Civil Code to people.

And they argued at great length that one must respect the agency industry; since someone provided you with information, why shouldn't you pay the bill?

Not to mention that there are now clear provisions in the Civil Code that Skipping the Agent is an illegal act!

"Setting aside whether it was right to arrest the person later, the one who skipped the agent is A Yi, right? He puts on a persona of being serious all day, so he thinks everything he does is right? What about the hard work the agents put in?"

Someone in the comments section below replied: "But the agent's service isn't worth that much money. This is money earned from a monopoly, not money for service!"

As a result, they were quickly retorted: "How is it not worth that much money? Go look at real estate agents abroad; they not only earn a lot of money, but their status is also high!"

"Who told you that our countrymen are just like this? They can make taking advantage of others sound high-sounding. If you're envious, you can go be an agent too!"

At these words, the gentleman from just before was suddenly enraged.

"No, I'm very curious about which 'abroad' you all keep talking about. Besides here, there are over two hundred countries and regions in the world, and those all count as abroad!"

"Where is the 'abroad' you're talking about? Also, can you stop saying 'our countrymen are like this, like that' at every turn? That's just you, okay!"

Although many people were putting on the appearance of passersby, if you look closely, you will know that many people here are speaking up for the agents.

Or one could say, agents across the country are extremely sensitive to the term "Skipping the Agent"!

This is what is called a conflict of interest, because besides interest, how many things can make a person argue for their industry?

You have to know that in the comments section, it is very easy for a situation to arise where one's ancestors for eighteen generations are greeted.

It is like this for agents, and it is the same for other industries.

Just like how the girl Xiao Xu will shout every day to beat the pirates to death, and an Up Master like Zhou Yi will shout back to beat the video-stealing dogs to death; it is all the same principle.

And under such circumstances, the term "well-known internet celebrity Skipping the Agent" touched the nerves of many agents.

Especially when everyone knew that the well-known internet celebrity who was being evasive was likely A Yi, it boiled over directly.

"Fengxue Rao Chang'an": I'm very curious, A Yi is already so rich, why not just give the agent fee to the person? Why drag it out? Is it true that the richer you are, the stingier you get?

"Meng Jiu": I think so too. A Yi has changed now. Other internet celebrities, once they become famous, donate money or schools in various ways. What about him? What has he donated?

"Three Orange Cats": Donations indeed cannot prove anything, but not donating can certainly prove something!

The rhythm was not quite right, but it was very effective, and under the special attention of many people, this topic was quickly pushed to the hot searches.

First there was a well-known star Skipping the Agent when buying a house, and now there is a well-known internet celebrity Skipping the Agent when buying a house. The most critical point is that this house is a luxury mansion, and it was paid for in full!

Under such circumstances, the resentment in many people's hearts was stirred up, and they all developed a thought:

You are already so rich, why do you still do illegal things?

Of course, there were also people who seemed to deliberately want to mention the matter of the agent being arrested, but they were quickly retorted.

A Yi called the police to arrest the person; there must be a reason for the arrest. There is no need to think too much about this point.

Consequently, the people trying to stir up trouble were stunned. Their original idea was to use the Skipping the Agent incident to make everyone notice that the other party not only skipped the agent but also had the person arrested.

As a result, not many people even talked about this matter...

In a Small Residential District in Jingzhou, a young girl was on the phone.

"Didn't you say you could use public opinion to attract everyone's attention? But now the topic has veered toward that internet celebrity not donating money!"

She was Ge Qiuping, Ge Tian's older sister, and on the other side of the phone was her boyfriend, the boss of a small Self-Media Company.

After knowing her younger brother was arrested, her family hurriedly tried to find a way, but the lawyers they found all said it was hard to handle, because the other party was notoriously difficult to talk to in Jingzhou.

There was no way; after so many cases, any lawyer in Jingzhou with a bit of ability knew that with Zhou Yi, one should not easily think about getting him to grant a settlement.

Or rather, it is impossible to achieve that by relying on a few words!

So Ge Qiuping went to ask her boyfriend for help, but it actually turned into the current situation.

"Qiuping, it's not easy for me to handle either. That side is A Yi; as long as he is in a topic, no one can control what it will turn into."

"I don't care. I'm telling you, I only have that one younger brother, and he is the only boy in our family. If he gets arrested, how will he get married in the future, and how will he carry on the family line for us!"

…………

At home in Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, Zhou Yi looked at these comments and nodded from time to time. He naturally did not know that this had already risen to the height of carrying on the family line behind the scenes.

In fact, one could know without looking that these were all "old friends" from before. Every time they encountered something, they would stand out to stir up trouble.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this kind of forced donation seems a bit problematic, but you cannot deny a psychology: we just don't like those rich people!

The appearance of this kind of psychology has many, many reasons, which cannot be explained clearly in one or two thousand words.

And Zhou Yi felt that this kind of psychology cannot be simply judged as right or wrong.

After all, even with his own mindset, seeing those rich people who spend money like water, he would also feel envy and jealousy.

He, Zhou Mouren, naturally also wants to give back to society, but the money from the system grandson has fixed uses.

How about donating that portion of money when the dividends come out at the end of this year?

Zhou Yi was letting his imagination run wild. Of course, he must respond to this rhythm.

I returned to the hotel around eight o'clock this afternoon, intending to type, but ended up watching the news. I couldn't stop watching—unfinished buildings, as I said before, this is not a simple legal issue. Anyone who tells you what the legal provisions are like this or that, you can just block them directly. Learn law, but you must have a conscience.

The thank-you list will be posted in the next chapter. Yes, there is another chapter today.
