Chapter 502: Life Is Always Like This

~14 min read 2,795 words

Niu Hong looked at the comments online and was completely speechless.

People kept posting messages online, saying that on one hand, they had been sued, and on the other, they had received calls from the Police Station saying they were to be subject to Detention and fines.

This A Yi is using a two-pronged approach, isn't he? Suing wasn't enough, he even went specifically to report them to the police?

Niu Hong truly did not believe there was such a twisted person in this world, but the reactions online made him afraid to say such things again.

But that wasn't even the worst of it, because some people posted messages saying that their rants on extremely niche social apps had also been sued!

As it turned out, the moment this fellow's comment was posted, there was a reply below it saying, "What's that? I just spouted off a few things in a livestream, and I actually got sued too!"

One can only say that A Yi has truly gone wild this time!

Xiang Guangyuan and Feng Yongwu were there truly trying to outdo each other in misery, but the one who got scolded the most was still Niu Hong; he didn't even dare to show his face now.

That classic post of "I laughed, what about you guys?" had already been flooded with who knows how many replies; in any case, everyone was scrambling to have some intimate relationship with Niu Hong's ancestors up to the eighteenth generation.

There was no helping it; A Yi had pulled off something big this time, and everyone was afraid to go and cause trouble for A Yi, or even dare to scold him.

Who knows if A Yi might take advantage of his momentum and sue them too.

So they could only vent on Niu Hong.

But he couldn't figure it out; it shouldn't be like this, it really shouldn't be. In his understanding, A Yi should be using this to build his reputation; there was no need to pay such a high price to do this!

At this point, the audience of Zhou Mouren finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had thought A Yi was really only focused on making money now and didn't want to be serious anymore; they didn't expect the good show was still to come.

But the news online was too scattered, all just comments from specific individuals.

So Zhou Mouren's private messages were once again flooded with requests for updates; don't say anything else, just hurry up and post the video, we want to see how you did it this time!

And most importantly, how big you went this time; everyone really wants to see what those people who engaged in Internet Violence look like in real life. Really, it never gets old!

It's just like how everyone loves watching legal awareness promotions, where some person is extremely arrogant online, saying things like "who dares to come and catch me."

Then you get to see the photo released by the local police of "Peaceful So-and-So," which is a photo of this fellow standing between two police officers, as obedient as a quail...

And the sight of them reading a self-criticism or apology letter to the camera is even more interesting, forming a sharp contrast with that arrogant face online.

It just feels particularly amusing; people feel satisfied watching such reversals a hundred times over.

So A Yi, don't mess around with other things, we want to see the specific situation!

There were many such calls, and people like Yuan Jie sent messages directly, asking Zhou Yi if he could put out those photos and videos like before.

Zhou Yi, who had just finished reporting to the police in a small county under Lincheng with Zhou Cainiao and was preparing to return to Jingzhou, was suddenly a bit dumbfounded.

The previous photos and videos of Internet Violence perpetrators being caught were only possible through cooperation with the Jingzhou Publicity Department.

Normally, this kind of thing is simply not something an internet celebrity can obtain.

Obviously, for the Jingzhou Publicity Department, it was impossible to concentrate resources for a second round of publicity for the same Legal Aid action.

So it was definitely impossible to get them.

However, Zhou Yi quickly had an idea. Since there were many people who needed Mediation, it was simple: just tell them that one of the requirements for accepting Mediation was that they must film an apology video and post it publicly.

Yes, just like the apology videos in those official promotions.

Without that, then don't accept the apology and don't accept the Mediation; everyone keeps things separate.

This way, the audience is satisfied, he himself sees the other party's sincerity, and those guys who might go to jail don't have to go in; this is killing three birds with one stone.

With one phone call, Zhou Yi arranged the matter.

One word from the boss, and the Employee runs their legs off; the Legal Department of Tengda started moving again.

It was the same old way: I sued you, if you want Mediation, come find me yourself, rather than me suing you and then you waiting for me to come find you for Mediation—that's impossible.

After all, he is the Plaintiff.

Inside the Legal Department, Huo Pengfei was already busy to the point of madness; his phone hadn't stopped ringing. As the current anchor of the Legal Department, Huo Pengfei was truly moved wherever he was needed.

"Someone from the Imperial Capital contacted you? No need to rush, look at their sincerity first. Yes, the conditions for agreeing to Mediation have been issued. Remember, a portion of the people inside cannot be mediated under any circumstances!"

Huo Pengfei said directly.

After all, there are always many people who are asking for trouble, saying things that make you not want to mediate at all, but only want them to go inside and stay for a while.

Jingzhou had been much livelier during this period, for no other reason than that too many people had really come to Jingzhou.

If you sue one person, that person has a family, and that family will want Mediation.

With the previous examples, A Yi would not recognize empty apologies online, so they had to come to Jingzhou; therefore, for a time, the flow of people in Jingzhou surged!

It is said that recently, hotels near Tengda Company and the Guangming District Court were already fully booked...

It's not a holiday or festival, and it's still more than ten days until National Day, yet the hotels are fully booked; what kind of situation is this!

Naturally, they had to investigate a little, and the conclusion reached afterwards left the comrades in the relevant departments stunned.

"You're telling me this is all because that A Yi sued a lot of people? Everyone came to want to mediate with him? You're kidding me, right!"

The staff member also gave a wry smile: "It really is like this, we asked many people, and they all said they wanted to come for Mediation..."

Well, this could even indirectly boost the development of Jingzhou's tourism industry; it was truly unexpected.

It's just a pity that this method won't work, because stability is the top priority, and with so many people coming now, the pressure on the grassroots level is already very high.

It is said that the Guangming District Court is already working overtime to the point of madness, and a leader said directly that their subsidies this year must be doubled...

However, there are too many people, so it's impossible to talk to them one by one. The conditions are sent to the other party; if they can agree, we will mediate under the auspices of the Court and sign a Mediation agreement.

But if they don't agree, then there's nothing to talk about; just do whatever needs to be done.

Facts have proven that there are indeed not many people who still talk tough after receiving a Criminal Private Prosecution Summons; there are still more smart people in this world.

Are the conditions harsh? Of course they are harsh, but it's nothing more than compensation and apologies. If the apology is sincere and posting a video doesn't matter, and the compensation is whatever, then there's no problem.

As for those who are not clear-headed and think that apologizing like this online is too shameful, then there's no need to say anything; once they get inside, they will be very clear-headed.

But under these circumstances, one person's performance was completely out of place.

"My Buddha is Merciful": Huh? Everyone received a Summons and a call? How come I didn't? What you guys are saying is all fake, or are you all Internet Water Army hired by A Yi?

"I can prove with my own experience that there really is no Summons, and no call from the Police Station, so I am really curious, just how many Internet Water Army did A Yi hire this time!"

"Furthermore, I still do not approve of A Yi's behavior, no matter the time, it is the same; being this pedantic will only lead to deeper hatred..."

The account "My Buddha is Merciful" had gained some fame in Zhou Yi's comment section, both because of those words of his and because he had not gotten into trouble until now.

Always spouting benevolence and morality, in short, no matter how bad others are, as long as we are fine, we should just endure it and it will pass.

Why be so pedantic? It is not good for anyone.

So this post was forwarded to major platforms in a very short time, and Niu Hong, who had been roasted to a pulp, acted as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

He forwarded the statement directly and added: "Whether it is true or false, everyone judge for yourselves."

His mouth remained stubborn, because if he admitted his mistake at this time, it would cause the account he had worked so hard to develop during this period to go belly-up.

It was just like the way some classic public intellectuals used to be when they flipped over.

A public intellectual posted a video, claiming it was from the Land of the Rising Sun.

He even said, look at how orderly they are, they are worthy of being a civilized country, they are world-class.

Then he was fawned over by many, saying they are just civilized, we will never learn in our lifetime, and so on; in short, the gap is just too big, etc.

Then someone pointed out that this was a domestic video, and all the evidence was there.

Guess if the public intellectual admitted defeat? No, his mouth remained very stubborn, holding onto a trolling comment from some big shot in the comment section to reply, saying look, someone living in the Land of the Rising Sun has proven it themselves.

Then that big shot who was trolling came out to prove it: "I was just talking nonsense, I didn't expect you to actually take it seriously..."

So sometimes these people on the internet, their mouths are truly stubborn!

Niu Hong's forwarding gave "My Buddha is Merciful" some heat, because the other party had already posted his past remarks.

"Just look for yourselves, I have said this in the past, but I am fine. How come so many of you suddenly popped up saying you received a Summons or something, while I did not."

For a moment, the large-scale Litigation by A Yi, which had already convinced many, had new waves.

Pei Dongchang was very happy looking at the news online. He might have truly believed before that Zhou Yi should not be so pedantic, but slowly, now, as long as Zhou Yi did anything, he would oppose it...

So at that time, he launched a Human Flesh Search, found Lao Liang's specific personal information, and published it on the internet.

However, just as he was happy, the door was knocked on.

He got up to open the door to see, only to find several police officers standing at the door.

"Pei Dongchang, right? That 'My Buddha is Merciful' on the internet is you, isn't it!" the lead police officer asked.

"Ah, it's me, what's wrong?" Pei Dongchang asked with some suspicion.

What is this for? Didn't the internet say that even for a Criminal Private Prosecution, one should receive a Private Prosecution Complaint...

"Pei Dongchang, you are suspected of the Crime of Infringing on Personal Information and are now being summoned for a Criminal Summons according to the law. Please sign here and come with us!"

What? Crime of Infringing on Personal Information?

Pei Dongchang was dumbfounded there: "Infringing on personal information? Isn't it some Private Prosecution for defamation and insult? I didn't do that."

The lead police officer did not say much, only saying: "Please cooperate with our work."

Defamation and insult are Private Prosecutions, but the Crime of Infringing on Personal Information is a Public Prosecution Case...

Pei Dongchang was caught, and along with him were three technical personnel engaged in Human Flesh Search.

The public opinion on the internet was quite heated, with many people saying that "My Buddha is Merciful" was fine, so A Yi's Lawsuit this time must be picking and choosing.

You don't say, under such circumstances, public opinion became more and more heated, and more and more people were talking about it, and as a result, the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau stood up to respond.

The person mentioned on the internet, namely "My Buddha is Merciful," real name Pei 【Surname】, has been summoned for a Criminal Summons according to the law for being suspected of the Crime of Infringing on Personal Information...

Well, the Netizens who saw this blue-background notice were instantly dumbfounded.

Some people had just seen the other party's account information and were preparing to comment properly, but this person had already been arrested?

Damn it, when A Yi gets pedantic, he really doesn't let anyone go!

It actually made those viewers of Zhou Yi feel comfortable.

Honestly, in every video comment section of A Yi, one could see this person's figure, making all kinds of remarks there: be kind, don't be pedantic, being pedantic is wrong, and so on.

It was annoying to look at.

Yet he had no problems, and even if you called the police or filed a Lawsuit, there was no suitable reason, so one could only watch him.

Now it's good, he has finally been caught.

The capture of "My Buddha is Merciful" made many people finally confirm that A Yi was playing for real this time.

The stubborn Lao Niu did not escape this time; he was roasted until he canceled his account.

Can't play anymore, completely can't play anymore.

These past few days, everyone has been enjoying the drama too much, but A Yi has not posted a video, and it always feels like that feeling is not quite there.

Time has already reached the end of September.

National Day is coming soon, and A Yi's video is still nowhere to be seen.

The first thing Yuan Jie does every day when she wakes up is to see if there is an update, but when she got up today and looked, she found that the internet was boiling again.

What's the situation? Did A Yi post a video?

Check the updates, no, what on earth is going on.

She hurriedly searched and found that today, a bunch of people on the internet posted apology videos in unison!

They were all in the same format, the parties involved read apology letters to the camera, and their attitude was extremely sincere!

They all showed their faces, and next to them were screenshots of their original remarks.

As Yuan Jie watched, she couldn't stop laughing instantly.

Everyone was curious about who the people engaging in Internet Violence were, and now they finally saw clearly; there were people of all ages.

The currently very cowardly remarks, placed together with those past Internet Violence remarks, were just too satisfying!

A Yi is indeed still A Yi; even without posting a video, he can always make everyone feel comfortable.

But he is still missing a video!

And at this moment, Zhou Mouren, who was being complained about by a bunch of viewers on the internet, was still in this small county of Lincheng, because he was driving just fine, but ended up hitting a rock on the road.

And then... there was no going back.

There is only one chapter today, I will make it up tomorrow. Thanks to Brother Hai Li De Hong Yue Guang, Wenchidage, Feimaowuyu, and Brother Shuyou 2022 for the tips, thank you.
