Chapter 373: You Can't Walk the Night Path Too Often

The last time A Yi posted a video was before the New Year.

Other Up Masters, short-video creators, and influencers of all kinds were pulling all sorts of stunts during the New Year, hoping to boost their traffic.

Only this one would stay silent whenever he could.

Aside from the moments he posted a video to give people a thrill, he was like a dead man the rest of the time.

Yet, without a sound, he suddenly produced a new video.

"Can a landlord enter a room as they please?" This title left many of A Yi's viewers feeling a bit suspicious.

However, that didn't stop them from their routine urging for more content.

That damn A Yi is updating slower and slower; if a donkey on a production team dared to rest like this, it would have been slaughtered long ago!

Anyway, they urged him first, then started watching, but as they watched, the direction started to feel a bit off.

Many people, such as Guan Yan, Miss Fang Miao, and those Netizens whose online names were all one ever saw, had the same question: Is this the kind of benefits a Company should have nowadays?

Damn it, other companies are rampant with 996 or 007, and it's one thing that you at Tengda insist on an eight-hour workday and rarely have overtime, but your probation training actually teaches Employees to study the Labor Law and Company rules?

In the eyes of other companies, this is just plain sick!

Damn it, if the Employees learn these things, what will we do if they jump ship and start causing trouble in our company?

Damn... Employees!

And the fear is in the comparison; once compared, one feels that these companies of ours are just like crap...

But even if teaching the Labor Law was one thing, how could you go and set up some Legal Aid Fund?

As long as they are an Employee of the Company, once their application is approved for Legal Aid, they can hire the Company's legal department to fight a Lawsuit for free!

Is there any justice left? Is there any rule of law?

In such a company, where is the shame, where is the morality, and where is the address?

Although these situations were only mentioned at the beginning of the video, many workers were frantically posting bullet comments throughout this video.

So envious; why are all the good companies someone else's?

Fortunately, after everyone finished being envious, they continued watching the video, and as they watched, many people's brows began to furrow.

The title was what it was, but the core content was: when a tenant's lease is about to expire, do they have an obligation to cooperate with the landlord to show the property?

People don't talk much about class struggle these days, but no matter who you are, you cannot deny its existence.

We certainly don't talk about this in our daily lives; what we say is that what you say is not determined by your brain, but by your position.

Wherever your position sits, that is what you will say.

Take, for example, Miss Xiao Xu from before and those who plagiarized her books; Miss Xiao Xu was naturally extremely disgusted with such people, and in her speech, she was certainly going to defend her rights.

She might even feel that plagiarism is a heinous crime!

But, standing from the perspective of many readers, what plagiarism or not? Why should I care about that? Isn't it enough that the book is good?

This is what you say because of your identity; "good" is the only definition.

This explains why several well-known authors have clearly been hammered for plagiarism and even lost their Lawsuits, yet still have so many fans defending them.

It was only because Kong Yiji had set the precedent; otherwise, Zhou Yi suspected they would have come up with a remark like "A scholar's affairs, copying books doesn't count as copying."

Likewise, this video released by Zhou Yi caused polarization.

Those who own houses and rent them out believe that the tenant must certainly cooperate.

The landlord's behavior in the video was indeed wrong, but if I tell you once or twice to cooperate, and you still don't, then you, the tenant, are the one with the problem.

But standing from the tenant's perspective, why should I cooperate with you?

If you want to rent out the house seamlessly, that's your business; the house is a private space, and before the rent expires, the right to use it is mine. Letting others come in to look around at will definitely makes me feel uncomfortable.

As Zhou Yi expected, many people were a bit unable to handle it when they saw that the landlord was convicted of Illegal Trespass for entering his own house to show it to guests.

According to the other side's logic, if I rent a house to someone else, and I want to bring other guests to see it, but the other party doesn't want me to, then there's nothing I can do?

And Zhou Yi stated very clearly in the video that in the absence of any agreement, the tenant has no obligation to cooperate with property viewings.

You can say he is a petty person for doing this, lacking morality, but you cannot say he is breaking the law.

So what to do? Contractual agreement; if it is agreed that the other party should cooperate within a certain amount of time, then if they don't, it is a Breach of Contract.

However, for a Breach of Contract, you can likewise take legal means to seek Legal Aid, you can file a Lawsuit, you can go through Mediation, but you just cannot barge in directly!

Zhou Yi also introduced this aspect, and the reason is that a residence is very special.

Our laws have actually already narrowed certain characteristics of residential rights; according to the Stand Your Ground Law of a certain United States, it wouldn't just be a matter of being sentenced for Illegal Trespass...

This left many people confused, and an old viewer of Zhou Yi asked in the comment section:

"That's not right, though. Look, my house is rented out, and I signed a contract agreeing that the other party would cooperate with me showing the house, but if they don't cooperate, I can only seek Legal Aid through means like Mediation and a Lawsuit?"

"Why on earth?"

But someone replied very quickly.

"It's clearly my money that I lent to someone else, and I even got an IOU, but they just won't cooperate and pay it back. So, I can only get my money through a Lawsuit?"

"Why on earth? Can't I just go to their house and take whatever expensive things I see?"

The words were simple, but they hit the nail on the head, directly silencing that guy.

He also suddenly realized that, without realizing it, he had been taking things for granted; if seeking Legal Aid were that simple, why would everyone be here watching A Yi's videos as if they were reading a satisfying novel?

Isn't it because he did the things we couldn't do?

If one had that money and that time, who wouldn't want to be so vigorous and insistent on the truth?

Of course, regarding this insistence on the truth, everyone still found it quite satisfying; even if it is your own house, you cannot act recklessly!

Likewise, this case also sparked some discussion on other platforms, but the heat was not as high as before.

The reason is simple: Zhou Yi didn't play any fancy tricks this time.

And other Self-Media creators didn't dare to play them.

If it were someone else's business, they would have already started the narrative, taking things out of context to come up with a headline: A certain man actually suspected of Illegal Trespass for returning to his own home!

See? They seem to be talking about this matter too, but the feeling is completely different.

If you exaggerate a little more and stir up the narrative, the traffic will come pouring in.

But since this was posted by A Yi, everyone is afraid to do so.

If someone else says "I'm going to sue you," many big influencers might just say: "Go ahead, but try to pick a weekend; I won't have time on weekdays."

It's just completely disregarding your talk of a lawsuit.

But A Yi is different; he never says "believe it or not, I'll sue you," he just gives you a final notice and then goes straight to sue, without a hint of hesitation.

Of course, a certain lawyer surnamed Wang became the comedic highlight of the video.

Perhaps few people in reality know what he is laughing at, but Netizens knew as soon as they saw it.

"Xiao Shufu": Lawyer Wang finally followed the right person, his suffering has ended and happiness has begun; the feeling of making other lawyers stop practicing really seems great.

"Zixing Yao Yue": Nothing more to say, Lawyer Wang is the GOAT, punching Fang Dazhuang and kicking Huo Xiaolü!

"Zhong'ai Heisi": Personally, I feel that except for Fang Dazhuang, the others are all trash!

Oh? Everyone's comments were fine, but this sentence popped up and shocked everyone.

Joking aside, Wang Daoren prefers to take crooked paths, but his level is really good.

Being able to know so many people in Jingzhou, and thinking of him whenever a case comes to mind—just this source of cases would make other lawyers drool with envy.

Not to mention Huo Pengfei; although he is not as good as Fang Dazhuang, it doesn't mean he isn't strong—it depends on who you compare him to.

And so, very quickly, this comment was pushed to the very top.

Many people suspect that behind this account is that unlucky kid who was "Love Licking Black Silk" or "Love Licking White Silk" before.

But later it was discovered, it wasn't!

A Yi has debunked things online before, and now that some viewers see someone being so arrogant, they immediately couldn't stand it.

"Wugou Feijian" stood up directly and replied: "Calling others trash, what are you? Do you have a license? Come, let's Debate!"

In a room in Hanxi Province, a young man is typing rapidly on his phone.

He is "Wugou Feijian," his real name is Zhang Kai; he liked reading Investiture of the Gods when he was a child, so he gave himself the screen name Wugou Feijian.

He considers himself to have watched so many of A Yi's videos, and he often looks up legal articles online, so his level when debating with Netizens is also quite decent.

So now, seeing someone so arrogant, he isn't intimidated at all!

Usually, this kind of person is definitely just bragging, no doubt about it.

But half a minute later, Kaizi Ge couldn't handle the other party's reply; that guy called "Zhong'ai Heisi" actually posted his credentials!

And between every word, he spouted various legal theories; let alone professionals, even some of the onlookers could see that the gap in level between these two was too large...

"Xiao Shufu": Brother, can you still hold on? Why do I feel... that person seems stronger than you.

"Wugou Feijian": Are you still on my side!

But no matter how much he attacks his teammate, there's no way around it; the other person is just better than him, and really very professional.

Damn it, why? How come when A Yi debunks something it's fake, but when I debunk something it's real.

However, since the other party is so arrogant, he'll just tell A Yi and see if he can handle them.

Not long after, Zhou Yi, who was taking a walk in the Small Residential District, received the message from Wugou Feijian and was also completely confused.

Where did this "Zhong'ai Heisi" pop out from?

He definitely couldn't go debunk them; he knows his own level, and as for Fang Dazhuang... don't even think about it, Fang Dazhuang wouldn't care about these things.

But Zhou Mouren isn't without options; he backhanded the message to Huo Pengfei and Wang Daoren.

Look, you two are being mocked; I'm telling you, if I were you, I'd definitely clash with them!

Of course, Zhou Yi didn't know that at this very moment, in the law firm office on the other side, Zhou Xinran, who was rubbing her fingers, put down her phone with a giggle.

Mengnan Zhou has become a thing of the past; once a secondary account is dug up, it can no longer be considered a secondary account.

But it doesn't matter; if Zhou Xinran has nothing else, she has plenty of secondary accounts!

Behind "Zhong'ai Heisi" is "Zhong'ai Baisi," behind white silk is meat-colored silk; anyway, there's always a type of silk.

I don't believe it, this time can you, surnamed Zhou, recognize me? I'll livestream washing my hair while doing a handstand!

The new little notebook is already in place; she, Zhou Xinran, is a woman who holds a grudge.

What? You said Fang Dazhuang? I'm hard of hearing, I can't hear those three words.

Life returned to calm; the batch of people hired before have already started working normally and are slowly integrating into the Company's corporate culture.

That is, the kind that likes to reason about everything.

Walking a dog in the Small Residential District without a leash?

In the past, one would always think it was too much trouble, and even if you complained, no one would care, since they were neighbors.

But now, after being influenced by the corporate culture, it's clear.

What neighbors? In a situation where the other party doesn't treat you as a neighbor at all, why bother to kiss up to them?

Time passed day by day, and the Company's Legal Department also started to get busy.

Although Zhou Yi has tried hard to fight back some nonsensical cases, there are still many cases where people are serious about filing a Lawsuit.

The most common ones are still borrowing money and not paying it back!

It's really too many; sometimes we can't even imagine how terrifying people can be when they start doing evil.

Fortunately, the Company says it's responsible, so it is responsible; the Legal Department has started to get busy in all sorts of ways, and in desperation, Zhou Yi is already thinking about finding a few more lawyers.

Because Lawyer Wang's hair has also started to thin.

At this very moment, at the Guangming District Court, Wang Daoren, who had just finished a hearing, packed up his materials and rushed to the Court of another district without stopping.

I am so stupid, really; I naively thought that a company couldn't have that many cases, and there's no overtime, and it pays so much money—following President Zhou, everything would be good.

But now? The Legal Department is already the busiest department in the entire company.

Purely a beast of burden, right?

To the point that by now, the Case Filing personnel at Guangming District already recognize him, because every time he comes over, it is guaranteed to be a pile of cases.

His once-proud full head of black hair is falling out; if this continues, he estimates that in less than two years, he will have the same hairstyle as Fang Dazhuang.

But he hasn't even gotten married yet...

Zhou Yi naturally cannot sit by and watch such a thing happen, so he is preparing to hire people.

His life is very regular now, and after a year, his parents don't seem to be pressuring him to marry much anymore.

So now he is carefree and at ease, living his days quite happily.

There is just one thing: Zhou Yi feels like he has been targeted by someone again; recently, a guy called "Love Black Silk" has been leaving comments everywhere online.

The other party is clearly a professional, with a high level of theoretical knowledge, and can analyze some of the behaviors in his previous videos.

For example, before Zhou Yi bought a Sports Camera, he was accustomed to using his phone and a pinhole Camera, and sometimes he would also use a Recording Pen.

This was to leave behind corresponding evidence in case his phone was knocked away by the other party.

The idea was not wrong, but this behavior was later pointed out by Fang Dazhuang as problematic.

Why? Because there is a crime in the Criminal Law called something like the crime of illegal use of special espionage equipment!

To say nothing else, Zhou Yi was nearly scared out of his wits when he heard there was such a charge at the time.

Especially since Fang Dazhuang likes to joke; he had looked grave at that moment and told Zhou Yi, "You kid are going to go in too," which scared him half to death.

Fortunately, after Fang Dazhuang's explanation, he understood that this charge is a Result Crime rather than a Conduct Crime.

It looks at whether the illegal use of those special espionage equipment caused Serious Consequences.

At that time, Zhou Yi had just obtained the system not long ago, and with Fang Dazhuang by his side, he was a bit unscrupulous.

Fang Dazhuang told him that using these things couldn't be said to be anything, but, if you walk the night road too often, you will eventually encounter a ghost.

If you can use certain means to send others in today, then likewise, others can use certain means to send you in!

In this regard, Fang Dazhuang has very rich experience.

It was only because he felt Zhou Yi was a confidant; otherwise, in his own words, with how unscrupulous you, Zhou Yi, are, it really wouldn't be too simple to send you in.

After that persuasion, Zhou Yi finally reined in his heart.

From then on, he basically stopped using equipment like that.

He had only mentioned it briefly in a video before, and didn't say much.

But now the other party has pointed it out and explained to many people not to learn it easily, otherwise they themselves might end up going in.

Doing so is indeed not a crime, but once there are Serious Consequences, it's over, so to avoid it, it's better to just not do it.

Zhou Yi's audience could mostly understand, and then they routinely started laughing at Zhou Yi.

However, there was no "rhythm" at all, because Zhou Yi quickly issued a statement that doing so was indeed problematic, so he did not encourage everyone to do it.

But when it is truly necessary to collect and secure evidence, one can only say: use whatever needs to be used!

The other party didn't speak again, but Zhou Mouren had already completely remembered this "Black Silk" brother.

"Hey Xinran, are you free lately? Hi, you've been watching my videos, right? I have a professional hater here now, I tell you, that person definitely has a grudge against me!"

"Yeah, a veteran hater. I did do something wrong before, so I can't really be too pedantic, that's why I wanted to ask for your help."

"Alright, thanks a lot. I knew our relationship was the best; I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi rode his newly bought little electric scooter out of the Small Residential District, intending to go buy something to eat.

Of course, he didn't know that on the other end, Zhou Xinran was about to die laughing the moment she hung up.

Who would have thought that A Yi's number one hater would be her, Zhou Cai... Zhou Xinran!

Turning into another intersection, he discovered that a crowd of people had gathered there.

As a normal man, encountering such a situation, it is mandatory to... park the little electric scooter and hurry over to watch the excitement.

Walking over, he realized it was a middle-aged woman and a man arguing there.

The woman was about thirty-something, dressed extremely fashionably, and one could smell that perfume, which seemed to have already soaked into her, from far away.

Beside her was a dog, not on a leash, barking incessantly.

After listening for a while, he learned that the man was driving past the intersection when this dog suddenly darted out; fortunately, it was an intersection, so he braked in time.

As a result, the woman said the man's horn was too loud and had scared her Beibei.

"What dog or not? I'm telling you, in my house, this is raised like a child. Is driving a piece-of-junk car something to be proud of? You scared my Beibei, you know that?"

"Then can't you put a leash on the dog?" the man said indignantly.

"Leash what? My Beibei never needs a leash. Are you even a man? Yelling at me like that, come on, are you trying to make a move? Come on, make a move!"

Clearly, the power of this punch was a bit too strong; that brother couldn't handle it and could only hurry back into his car.

Under the persuasion of the surrounding neighbors, the woman finally left with her Beibei.

Zhou Yi could only shake his head watching this; in this situation, even calling the police would be useless, as nothing happened, they just had a verbal spat.

Even if that brother was as angry as he could be, it was useless.

Unless he became depressed because of the other party's words...

Shaking his head, he bought groceries and went home.

Another day passed, and Zhou Yi had to go to the Company, because they said two Lawyers had already come for interviews, and he, the boss, needed to be responsible for the final interview.

So Zhou Yi was already driving on the road; after all, he had moved here for a while and went to the Company often, so he was very familiar with this road and was driving almost exactly at the speed limit.

Of course, he would still slow down when encountering intersections.

He still remembered yesterday's incident; if that young man hadn't been in the habit of slowing down at intersections, he would have been hit long ago.

However, Fang Dazhuang was very right: if you walk the night road too often, you will eventually encounter a ghost. Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about what kind of talent our Tengda needs, he suddenly saw something dart out from the green belt on the side!

A ghost popping out!

This can be said to be the situation many drivers are most afraid of encountering.

You might say that you need to slow down at an intersection, but you can't be at a low speed all the time when not at an intersection, or you'll be affectionately greeted by the family members of the drivers behind you.

Therefore, when facing this kind of situation where something suddenly darts out, one can only brake as much as possible, and one must not jerk the steering wheel.

Because you do not know if there is a car next to you; if you hit the other party, then it is your responsibility.

But it was obvious that he could no longer brake in time; it came out too suddenly, and it came out from the green belt, so it was impossible to react in time.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the thing that darted out hit the front headlight of the car and was sent flying more than two meters away.

Zhou Yi was still shaken, so he quickly turned off the car and turned on the hazard lights, then got out of the car to take a look; every driver knows to try their best not to hit anything.

You could call it superstition, but in short, it is best not to get blood on the tires, and one must be extremely careful when encountering any small animals.

As soon as he got out of the car, he saw it: it was a large black dog. He did not know what breed it was, but it was lying in front, its belly was no longer rising and falling, and it was clearly already dead.

It's just... it looked strangely familiar; was this dog that woman's precious "Egg" from yesterday?

Is it such a coincidence?

Suddenly, he felt that mysterious power of the system again!

However, Zhou Yi still sighed; although the dog had darted out suddenly, it was a life after all, and now that it was gone, no one would feel good.

The sound of the impact and the screeching of the brakes were quite loud, and it soon attracted some onlookers.

It was just a bit strange, where was the dog's owner?

Zhou Yi would not think about leaving; some drivers feel that hitting a dog or something will not be a big deal.

But remember one thing: a traffic hit-and-run does not just refer to damage to other people's bodies, but also property!

To a dog owner, a dog is property; if he hit someone's dog and ran away, it is the same principle as hitting someone's car and running away.

When they call the police and come looking for you, even if you are in the right, you will be in the wrong.

Therefore, when encountering a traffic accident, remember one thing: do not run; there is insurance, but if you run, then everything is over.

But since the dog owner was not there, Zhou Yi went to find a kind-looking elderly woman nearby and asked, "Hello, may I ask if you know where the owner of this dog is?"

The elderly woman shook her head, and a middle-aged woman nearby spoke up: "I know, this is the dog raised by that, that daughter-in-law of the Liu family. She is over there playing cards with people; she probably didn't hear it."

"Young man, wait a moment, I will go and notify her for you."

Zhou Yi expressed his gratitude and then took out his phone to call the traffic police first.

No matter what kind of car accident happens, calling the traffic police is always the right thing to do.

When the time comes, do whatever the traffic police say to do.

Especially after seeing how unreasonable the other party was yesterday.

He also took out the Sports Camera and put it on, and turned on the Dash Cam in the car; everything was prepared!

"Yes, right here on Guangming Road, eh, it's about a hundred meters or so from Fenghui Road, not at the intersection, the green belt, okay, okay, I will wait for you to arrive."

Just after finishing with the traffic police, before Zhou Yi had even put down his phone, a voice had already come over.

"Who hit this? Who hit this?"

A group of people around looked at Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi stepped forward and nodded, only his mind began to wonder: isn't this crappy car supposed to be a "lamp factory"? Are these lights really this easy to break...

A long chapter of nearly seven thousand characters; it is Friday, and another week has passed.
