Chapter 440: Why Is Everything Because of This That He Got Arrested!

Even Zhou Mouren did not know that, in fact, Guo Fang's home was in the residential quarter next to the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter, and the people living here were also wealthy.

At this moment, inside a large flat in the residential quarter, Guo Fang's parents had started a new round of arguing.

"Do you have someone else on the outside? You only have this one son! When I told you to pull some strings, why didn't you? It was clearly nothing, so why must it be judged this way or that way!" Li Caifeng roared.

Guo Fang's father really did not want to speak; for several days, the two of them had argued countless times over the issue of their son. Li Caifeng felt that this was just a minor matter—wasn't it just a touch? It shouldn't have been blown up to be so serious.

However, Guo Fang's father knew his own weight; he was just a small business owner. Perhaps he had some money, but in a situation where a case had already been filed for investigation and even the Procuratorate had intervened, could he possibly interfere?

What did they take our judicial organs for!

"You say it isn't serious, so it isn't serious? Isn't Lawyer Wang trying to find a way to get the Procuratorate not to prosecute, or to aim for a Not Guilty Defense later? Why do we still need to intervene?"

"Then tell me what to do! Our son is currently in that... that Detention House, not eating well and not sleeping well. I'm worried to death every day, but you—you just sit there without saying a word. Do you even have this son in your eyes anymore!"

Lao Guo finally couldn't help but roar: "That was his own doing! Who told him to go touch someone else for no reason? A grown man doing such a thing—I don't even have the face to talk about it now!"

He finally said those words. Doing business—there are plenty of people who put on an act in the business world, but... committing obscenity against someone on the subway, that is two completely different concepts, damn it.

It feels shameful just to say it out loud...

"Fine, you! So it really is because you have someone else on the outside, right? You don't want me and Xiao Fang anymore, right? I'll fight you to the death..."

Good grief, Lao Wan, who had arrived at the door and was preparing to knock, was a bit stunned after listening to the commotion inside. What were they doing? Were they tearing the house apart?

"Everyone, get the police equipment ready!" Lao Wan said, turning his head back.

After saying that, he went up to knock on the door. There was no movement after knocking several times; instead, the situation inside became even more intense.

There was no other way, so he knocked on the door even harder. Finally, Guo Fang's father heard the sound.

"Stop fighting! If you hit me again, I'm going to lose my temper with you! Someone is knocking at the door!"

Finally managing to pull Li Caifeng away, he went to the door to open it, only to see several police officers standing there with unreadable expressions.

Lao Wan looked at the two inside—one had a few bloodstains on their face, and the other's face seemed a bit rounder than normal. He quickly coughed twice.

After a tactical cough, he said: "May I ask if this is Guo Fang's home?"

"What are you here for again? Xiao Fang has already been taken away by you, what else do you want? Are you trying to make us..."

Before the words were finished, Lao Guo shouted at the top of his lungs: "Can you just shut up? Can you please shut up!"

After saying that, he looked at Lao Wan and said: "May I ask what you are here for?"

Lao Wan quickly took out a search warrant and said: "We are here to investigate Guo Fang's computer, tablet, and other electronic equipment. This is the search warrant."

They actually had to investigate the computer? This seemed a bit different from what Lawyer Wang said this afternoon.

Guo Fang's father wanted to say something, but Lao Wan said directly: "Mr. Guo, please step aside now. If you still don't let us in, you may be suspected of obstructing law enforcement. Do you understand?"

Everything that needed to be said had been made clear; our procedures were in order.

Lao Guo finally stepped aside and pulled Li Caifeng away from the side as well.

After asking clearly which room was Guo Fang's bedroom, several police officers went in and began to secure the evidence.

Preparing to turn it on, they discovered that the computer was only in sleep mode and had not been shut down. It seemed that before Guo Fang left, he had intended to return soon.

Because the keyboard had just been touched, the sleeping computer restarted, and then Lao Wan saw the content on the browser.

"A Yi's video? This kid is actually a fan of A Yi?" a young police officer next to him said with a confused look.

Looking further up, it wasn't playing the latest episode, but the previous one—the one about the Fitness Gym Boss who ran away and was sentenced to life imprisonment. It had just been playing halfway through, and that boss had only just been caught.

"It seems these two are staying in the same Detention House. What a coincidence..."

Lao Wan also shook his head and said: "You'd think that since he watches A Yi's videos, he would definitely know that doing this is wrong. Sigh, really..."

How should one put this? Did A Yi finally manage to send one of his own fans inside?

The technical personnel who had already started collecting evidence actually wanted to laugh, but he was a professional after all, so he couldn't laugh at this time.

It was just that as they investigated, they discovered that this kid's computer was full of hidden secrets!

There was a lot of related content; just looking at it made one feel that it was "very criminal." It was incredible—the "Sweep Away Pornography and Strike Down Illegal Publications" office would definitely attach great importance to it.

It could be said that many people think they won't encounter such things, but they just haven't discovered them yet.

If you join a few more strange groups, you will find that there are really many perverts in this world...

As it happens, the "Sweep Away Pornography and Strike Down Illegal Publications" special operation, the "Qingyuan Action," is still ongoing this year. By following the clues, they could dig up a whole lot!

Sometimes it is just that coincidental; they originally only intended to dig up a radish, but the deeper they dug, the more they found...

With the evidence secured, the relevant staff had already begun their operations.

Wang Tiancheng received a phone call.

He had been eating, but at this moment he couldn't care about eating anymore: "What? You're saying someone went to your home to search yesterday? And they even investigated Guo Fang's computer and those things?"

"Wait, let me sort this out first... Guo Fang must have said something. This is a mess. I will apply to see him again. If things go poorly, this Not Guilty Defense won't be possible."

At this moment, Lawyer Wang had that feeling again: I am working hard here trying to get the procuratorial organs not to prosecute and to have the case dismissed, and you go and pull a stunt like this on your end, right?

Two days later, Wang Tiancheng finally saw Guo Fang again. It was only because it was him; if it were any other lawyer, it would have been tough to get a meeting this quickly.

"So, you told them everything?"

Guo Fang in front of him nodded, looking terrified: "I don't know what happened either. I just wanted to talk once I sat there. Lawyer Wang, when do you think I can get out?"

"You can't get out for the time being."

"Ah?"

"Since you've already done this, we can only change our strategy. A Not Guilty Defense is impossible. You have confessed and accepted punishment here, you've admitted to everything. You must behave well; what you confessed also counts as meritorious service, so you can be treated with leniency. I will try to fight for Bail Pending Trial, and then obtain a Letter of Forgiveness from the other party, so that you might get a lighter sentence."

All the previous work had been in vain.

Watching Wang Tiancheng leave, Guo Fang hammered the table hard. He now felt that his life was already pitch black.

If only he hadn't gone to harass that person back then, how good would that have been.

It's just a pity that if regret were useful, the Criminal Law wouldn't be the Criminal Law.

Inside the law firm, Wang Tiancheng explained the situation and then said: "The next task is to obtain a Letter of Forgiveness. We must make the other party forgive you; then, if you get a Suspended Sentence, it won't be a big deal."

As expected, Li Caifeng immediately started shouting: "Lawyer Wang, didn't you say you were going to make it a Not Guilty verdict? How did it turn into a Suspended Sentence now? This will leave a Case Record! How will my son find a partner or get a job in the future? You took the money, after all..."

Wang Tiancheng maintained a smile, telling himself over and over in his heart: don't be angry, don't be angry, I won't lower myself to her level.

Guo Fang's father sighed, then said, "Lawyer Wang, don't mind her, just tell us what to do."

"It's simple. I have only one requirement: when we go to meet the opposing party, your wife cannot come along. Otherwise, I will not take this case. I would rather breach the contract and pay you damages!"

Wang Tiancheng said with a natural expression.

Having had the experience with Liu Xu, he was now extremely repulsed by these unreasonable family members. Damn it, we are going there to get the other party to provide a Letter of Forgiveness, but you go and stir up trouble—you're afraid they won't refuse to forgive, right?

If you didn't know better, you'd think this son wasn't even your own flesh and blood...

"What do you mean by that? On what grounds can you stop me from going? Let me tell you, I paid money for this. Who do you think you are, a lawyer, acting so high and mighty? You..."

"Will you shut your damn mouth! Fine, go ahead and meet them, go and have a fight with the other party, and then let our son get the Death Penalty, and then you'll be happy, right?" Guo Fang's father roared in a rage.

"But..."

"If you think Lawyer Wang isn't suitable, then go find someone who is. Either you handle it all, or if you let me handle it, you listen to me. Is there a problem with that?"

Li Caifeng was stunned; they had been married for so many years, and her husband had never yelled at her like this before.

But for a moment, she couldn't say anything and just stood there blankly.

Wang Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. If it were like this every time, he really wouldn't be able to work as a Criminal Defense Lawyer.

Soon, the two Little Koi from the Company received a call from the Police Station. It was Lao Wan who notified them, telling them that Guo Fang's family wanted to talk to them and beg for forgiveness.

The two were at a loss again, but they felt embarrassed to bother Huo Pengfei. Just then, they ran into Wang Daoren and Zhang Wei in the Legal Department.

Zhang Wei spoke up: "Forgive them? Of course you should go. Even if that person is disgusting, that's his own business. Now that the matter has passed, our lives must go on."

Beside him, Wang Daoren added: "However, whether or not you agree to forgive depends on whether the other party's sincerity is sufficient. Do you two understand what I mean?"

"Understood. Then it's fine. When you go, make sure to let the other party show their sincerity, understand? Don't say it yourself. Handle it well, and you two could even earn back a year's worth of rent. How great is that? Don't listen to others; you aren't President Zhou, being too stubborn won't put food on the table."

That's why they say you have to look at the lawyer when seeking consultation; different lawyers give you different advice.

Although they had been at the Company for a long time, Wang Daoren and Zhang Wei still held relatively pragmatic views; not everyone was like President Zhou.

As ordinary people, life has to go on. In any case, the other party has surely been educated, and if their sincerity is great, then forgiving them is fine too.

The two Little Koi thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true. Life must go on, and being able to get a sum of compensation, plus the fact that the other party would still be sentenced, was already enough.

Thinking this way, their train of thought cleared up, and they happily went to the Police Station.

Without the eyesore present, everything was discussed very smoothly. Guo Fang's father was a businessman and was used to being the service provider, so he held the view that the sincerity must be great!

As a result, it was like dry tinder meeting a flame; Wu Qiuling and Fang Xiaoying received satisfactory compensation, so naturally, there was no problem with the Letter of Forgiveness.

It was just a bit strange; this very kind Officer Wan, for some reason, felt like in just a few days, his hair was visibly thinner than before.

And his eye sockets were a bit dark, too, though they didn't know why...

This made Wang Tiancheng feel very emotional. In the future, he would handle similar cases this way: irrelevant people would absolutely not be allowed to participate, even if it meant not taking the case!

It was just a pity that while these things were originally enough for a Suspended Sentence, there were new problems on Guo Fang's side.

He had previously posted many videos in groups. It was fine not to investigate such things, but once investigated, they were all problems.

The Crime of Spreading Obscene Materials—especially in some groups, if there are many members, you could violate the Criminal Law in a matter of minutes. Moreover, if the group owner of the relevant group does not manage it, they will also bear corresponding responsibility...

This isn't just people joking around in daily life; there really is a relevant Judicial Interpretation. In the regulations, it's thirty people or more, so be careful in daily life—it's all very "criminal."

With the forgiveness secured, Guo Fang's case began to enter the Review and Prosecution stage, following the procedures. Meanwhile, on the other side, under the coordination of the "Anti-Pornography and Anti-Illegal Publications" office, the Public Security Bureau in various places had already begun sweeping away the fallen leaves!

People were being caught one after another all over the country, and the evidence was all provided by themselves...

After all, there are always people who like to film these things and want to send them for others to see...

It was another massive crackdown operation. Lao Wan was walking as if he were floating now—not because of his meritorious service, but because he had stayed up too late too many times.

He was no longer young, and staying up late consecutively was almost equivalent to overdrawing his life force.

But there was no help for it; this situation had always been repulsive to many people. It could be said to be a destruction of social order and must be severely cracked down upon!

However, here in Jingzhou, besides Guo Fang, many other people were caught.

One of them, after being caught, was discovered to be a famous "gentleman" on a certain website. A large number of filmed videos were found on his computer, the kind that hadn't been edited.

And he was currently dating a girl. Anyway, when he was caught, that girl still didn't believe it, thinking her boyfriend was a rich second generation and not that kind of person at all...

However, the operation finally had some results.

As the days passed, regarding the matter of the two Little Koi, Zhou Mouren actually didn't have the idea of filming a video.

After all... others might say they should bravely stand up, but you have to admit that in this society, we always have "victim-blaming."

Although the two weren't exactly dressed scantily, it was summer, after all. If it were really exposed, needless to say, there would be all kinds of filthy language, as well as comments like "you shouldn't blame others if you dress like that."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the Company today, he would receive a call from Lao Yang.

"Another publicity task? What? You caught several of my fans? This..."

This made things a bit awkward. If they were caught for other reasons, it wouldn't matter, but the key was that those caught were all involved in "pornographic" issues.

He, Zhou Mouren, is a decent person!

"Film it. I think doing this will definitely bring more traffic. Catching fans, right? Edit in some of the arrest process, especially when someone is caught while watching your videos..."

It's over. He has jumped into the Yellow River and can't wash himself clean. He, Zhou Mouren, really is a decent person.

Since Lao Yang said so, and they had always cooperated happily, let's do it!

First, talk to the two Little Koi to confirm there's no problem. They definitely cannot have their identity information exposed, because Zhou Yi felt he didn't want to go inside.

The "cows and horses" of the Self-Media Studio began a new journey. During this period, the Studio had been doing very well.

Some of the previous episodes made into web dramas were extremely attractive, and people were already saying they wanted Tenda to film a TV series.

The materials sent by Lao Yang were still very detailed; Zhou Yi felt numb just looking at them.

The Studio's efficiency remained high; it only took three days to finish, and the next step was for Zhou Mouren to do the voiceover.

"Hello, dear audience masters, I am your old friend A Yi. Actually, I didn't want to make this video, because this means my audience count has decreased by eight..."

"Actually, I don't know why this happened either..."

Next was to tell the story, from the two girls meeting a pervert on the subway, to the Company Legal Department taking action, the transition from Administrative Detention to Criminal Detention, the other party's confession, and the resulting arrest of many people.

As for the video title, Zhou Yi had already thought it up directly.

"If I get anxious, I'll send all the viewers in too!"

After checking that there were no issues, he sent it to Lao Yang's side for review; it was sent back a few hours later with some parts modified, and then he clicked upload.

Not much time had passed since A Mei was sentenced to life imprisonment, and many people had not expected A Yi to update at all.

As a result, he suddenly updated.

Seeing this title, they were even more bewildered; what was going on? Damn it, A Yi, we're on your side, are you going to send your own people in too when you go crazy?

First update, thanks to Brother Dangdexuezi, Brother Stonemen, Brother Youyigexinshou, Brother Shuyou2022, Brother Feimaowuyu, Wenchidage, and Brother Lanjing; thanks to the brothers for the tips, thank you.
