Chapter 477: He Must Forgive! (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Zhao Yi hung up the phone again. Her colleague beside her saw that her expression was not very good and asked again, "What's wrong? What did they say?"

"They said, they said I've been hit with a Criminal Private Prosecution, and that we can go to the Police Station to verify it; the materials have all been sent over..."

Zhao Yi said with a blank look upon hearing this.

Can go to the Police Station to verify?

The colleague also didn't quite know what to say; normally, a scammer certainly wouldn't let you call the police.

Zhao Yi clicked on the link sent to her phone, and sure enough, many electronic documents could be seen.

The main one was the Private Prosecution Complaint. Looking at it, Zhao Yi's face changed. It was written very clearly on it that the person initiating the Private Prosecution was none other than a person from Jingzhou named Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi, isn't that A Yi? Did he really sue me?

Now there was no need to verify anything; Zhao Yi just sat there, unable to speak.

Although she had seen a lot of that A Yi's seriousness on the internet, that was all on the internet after all.

It's just like a certain police officer who often catches fans; logically speaking, he has caught so many fans, and those caught fans all knew that what they were doing was illegal behavior.

Then, according to normal logic, they shouldn't continue to do these illegal things.

But fans still end up getting caught one by one...

Zhao Yi was the same. She previously felt that this kind of thing was very far away from her and that there shouldn't be any problems.

She had said it so many times before and never saw anything happen to anyone.

Moreover, she had said things like "Then go ahead and sue" quite a few times.

As a result, when the Private Prosecution Complaint was slapped in her face, she went completely numb.

At this moment, she remembered those people in A Yi's previous videos who expressed all kinds of regret...

"Wang Jie, I, what should I do? I think I'm going to go to jail..."

The store manager and some colleagues walked over to look at the materials. As they looked, they began to glance at each other.

The store manager opened her mouth but still didn't say anything. How could she be expected to say anything? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Did she really have to go online and say those things!

She wasn't actually arrested, because based on the circumstances, it shouldn't result in a sentence of Fixed-term Imprisonment or higher.

But that doesn't mean it's fine; anything involving a Criminal Case is a headache!

"Xiao Zhao, why don't you... why don't you take the initiative to contact the other party and apologize, or hire a Lawyer..."

Zhao Yi broke down, sat directly in her chair, and started to cry.

"Why, there are so many people cursing online, why do they have to sue me? I really didn't have any malicious intent, why, how did I end up encountering something like this..."

It was the same situation: writing a Small Essay, being all nonchalant when others aren't being serious, but when the other party gets serious, starting to complain about fate.

Feeling that her life is so unfortunate...

The others didn't speak. Now, as long as they had heard the name A Yi, they knew that this person, when he gets serious, will not let a single person slip by.

Under the comfort of her colleagues, Zhao Yi finally finished crying.

But the problem still had to be solved, and she was thinking about what to do.

Most importantly, she didn't understand this Criminal Private Prosecution at all, and she felt that consulting a Lawyer was expensive, so she could only ask Baidu.

A group of people started flipping through Baidu, preparing to find a way. After a long while, everyone understood what a Criminal Private Prosecution was.

That you can actually send someone to jail by suing them yourself—this felt a bit outrageous to some people!

"So Zhao Yi, as long as you get the other party to withdraw the Lawsuit, then it'll be fine!" a colleague said.

"That's true, Zhao Yi. Isn't that A Yi an internet celebrity? So if your attitude is better, I think it shouldn't be a big deal."

Zhao Yi nodded: "Then should I call him directly? The relevant information is on this Private Prosecution Complaint."

Just then, another colleague said: "It's not that simple. If you call him, what if he asks you for money in addition to an apology?"

"Or who says these internet celebrities are magnanimous? This A Yi has sent so many people inside; how could he be magnanimous!"

"My suggestion is, Xiao Zhao, you apologize to him online!"

Zhao Yi and several colleagues looked over. What kind of move was this?

Being watched by everyone, the young lady wearing black silk said confidently: "Just apologize online, a public apology. This isn't for A Yi to see; this is for the Netizens to see!"

"You must write it sincerely, your attitude must be especially good, and you must play the victim, saying how hard it is for you, struggling alone in Modu."

"This way, even if the other party doesn't want to forgive you, they will have to, otherwise they will definitely be roasted, after all, you have already apologized!"

Zhao Yi felt this suggestion was excellent. After all, A Yi was a big internet celebrity, and being so serious with a nobody like her would surely have a bad impact.

She nodded immediately and started taking out her phone to write.

The crowd of onlookers online had already started discussing how many people would go inside this time, following the last time they roasted A Yi.

By the way, they chatted about this matter; just finished shouting that he had the ability to arrest them too, and in the blink of an eye, they went inside themselves. This is really... too interesting, isn't it!

Comparable to that internet celebrity last time who clarified that they hadn't been arrested...

Zhao Yi's account was naturally a disaster zone. Her account, "Xianxian Loves Lemons," had been the most vicious in its roasting before.

At this moment, people were constantly tagging her, wanting her to come out and "walk a few steps."

"@Xianxian Loves Lemons, where are you? Share your thoughts. The two people you supported have both been arrested now. I'm just curious, foreigners don't commit crimes, is that it?"

"Don't know if you've received A Yi's Indictment yet?"

As a result, under this constant tagging, "Xianxian Loves Lemons" posted an article.

The title was: Apology Letter.

"I am Xianxian Loves Lemons. In the previous incident, I expressed my opinion without verification, which caused a great impact on A Yi. I now sincerely apologize..."

"My father has been bedridden for years, my mother makes a living by farming, and I have a younger brother who needs to get married. I can only work desperately to earn more money. I was really wrong this time. I beg A Yi to forgive me..."

"There have been many times I felt I couldn't go on. I've taken sleeping pills, cut my wrists. Why is life so difficult..."

"..."

First came a sincere-sounding apology, followed by a description of how miserable their family life was; it was truly enough to make the listener weep.

Of course, the most important part was that Zhao Yi attached a photo of herself at the end of the post.

As everyone knows, there are always many people online whose values follow their aesthetic preferences.

As soon as this post was published, a bunch of people started commenting.

"Let's give the young lady a hug, it's really too hard for her. I also hope A Yi will forgive her; after all, the young lady didn't do it on purpose."

"Yeah, if the young lady really goes to jail, what will happen to her family? Is A Yi going to take care of them?"

"I think so too. For those of you shouting about being serious, why don't you think about how to solve the problem? Do you really have to force someone to die?"

Zhao Yi looked at these comments with a pleasant surprise; she hadn't expected the effect to be unexpectedly good!

Without her having to say anything, many people in the comment section had already started imagining things on their own, and even began taking the initiative to help her lash out at others.

Things like how this world should value both the law and human warmth, and that we should learn to be a little kinder.

Among some of the remarks, it even felt as if A Yi would be heartless if he insisted on being serious...

Of course, among these comments, there were still some rather cheeky ones.

For example, one guy who claimed to be a "senior bathhouse expert" said directly:

"Father sick, mother a farmer, younger brother getting married? Why does this sound so familiar? It's exactly the same thing the young ladies in many of the places I go to say..."

Then, many replies appeared below, one after another asking this guy where exactly there were fun places to go.

The guy quickly replied: "I'm just talking about bathhouses, what are you all thinking about? I don't even understand what you're talking about!"

Sure enough, there is probably only one type of topic online that won't have arguments, only many blessings like "requesting the address, good people live in peace."

…………

In Jingzhou, Zhou Yi already had the results.

Liu Kang and another Lawyer stayed behind; they didn't just agree with the philosophy of the Company, the most important thing was... they were young and could take the heat.

Sigh, sure enough, he had already turned into the evil dragon.

After talking on the phone with Fang Dazhuang, Fang Dazhuang had already said that under normal circumstances, the people here in Jingzhou would definitely want to persuade him to go through Mediation.

After all, this kind of thing is just troublesome.

Although according to the principle of territorial jurisdiction, we must abide by our laws when we are here.

And before the Criminal Procedure Law was amended, all foreign-related cases needed to be under the jurisdiction of the municipal-level Public Security Bureau, Court, and Procuratorate.

Not only that, a translator is a must, and the relevant departments must also notify the embassy of the country in question in a timely manner after an Arrest.

Of course, if the person themselves does not wish to notify them, that is also fine, but a written notice is required.

So one can understand that this really does make a difference.

If one is not careful, there will be all kinds of troublesome matters.

Fortunately, according to Fang Dazhuang, the current leaders in Jingzhou are still very bold; even if there really is any trouble, the other side won't be able to do anything.

After all, what time is it now.

Sending Liu Kang and the others off to sign contracts and incidentally start pre-job training, Zhou Yi returned to his office and began to flip through the materials sent back by Zhang Wei.

There weren't many people involved in the Criminal Case this time, but he didn't expect that there would actually be some college students among them...

This was truly something Zhou Yi hadn't expected; according to his understanding, college students should have extremely broad horizons.

It is certain that others are stronger than us, but that does not mean that they are right about everything and we are wrong about everything.

Who would have thought that college students would actually have such a mindset...

It seems there will be quite a few parents coming to ask for forgiveness again.

However, it doesn't matter; he is now experienced. If the other party speaks properly, then so be it; if they don't speak properly, he will do what needs to be done.

So what if they are college students? They should go ask around what his very first case was!

Just as he was flipping through, Zhou Yi saw a familiar name.

"Love to Suck Black Silk?"

Just as he was wondering whether it was that kid or his parents this time, the office door was knocked on.

Immediately, Chu Lan walked in.

"General Manager Zhou, I have discovered public opinion online again. It seems the people being sued are posting apology letters to you online, and they are describing their own situations as particularly miserable..."

"Now it seems like there is a bit of public indignation; they all want you to forgive them. Many people are even saying that if you don't forgive them this time, they will unfollow you!"

What's the situation? Zhou Yi took Chu Lan's phone and started looking. At one glance, he immediately frowned. This... alternative misery-selling?

He flipped through it again; it seemed that the one named "Xianxian Loves Eating Lemons" was the first to post like this, and then a few other accounts posted similar content.

It seemed to be the account of the college student he had just looked at...

So, you get sued and don't come to me to apologize, but you "publicly apologize" online like this?

What's even more speechless is that there are actually so many people supporting it, saying that A Yi should forgive them, and that if he has the ability, he should go and be serious with those big Companies.

Instead of thinking about sending ordinary common people to jail all day long...

The popularity is rising very quickly!

Zhou Mouren is starting to doubt life.

…………

While Zhou Yi was doubting life, on the other side, the screams of that middle school student could even be heard throughout the entire Small Residential District.

Because this time, he used his younger sister's phone number.

After the Court's Summons information was sent over, the little girl was very confused, so naturally, she came to ask her parents.

And then they saw that "Love to Suck Black Silk."

The father looked at a bunch of silk-related accounts and was a bit bewildered. Had he raised his son to be a failure? Is this thing really that good?

The second update is here, goodnight everyone, please be early tomorrow.
