Chapter 577: Zhou Yi is digging up our roots!

Everyone is getting a bit tired of the gossip online lately; the main thing is that some of the current trending topics are truly fake at a glance.

Originally, these were all very serious matters, but suddenly a few inexplicable trending topics were mixed in—what happened to this celebrity, what did that celebrity say...

Sigh, looking at these pieces of news with zero nutritional value, Yuan Jie started feeling indignant again; that Pigeon Spirit has started skipping updates again.

How many days has it been without an update!

In Modu, another incident occurred where someone helped an elderly person and was then extorted; a ride-hailing driver saw an elderly person fall and specifically recorded a video while going to help, but still ended up getting caught in a trap.

They called the police, and before the police arrived, the elderly person was still expressing gratitude there, but after the police arrived, the elderly person changed their tune and insisted that this driver had hit them.

They didn't even look—there was a guardrail in the middle of the road, and the person's car was on the other side.

Fortunately, the elderly person's family members were still reasonable this time; after understanding the situation, they apologized in every way possible and even compensated two thousand yuan for lost wages.

However, this kind of thing still made Yuan Jie feel unhappy inside!

Don't say things like "they settled it, who are you as a Netizen to care"; this kind of thing happens too often.

Looking at the Netizen comments again, I have to say, everyone is extremely hateful toward this kind of "changing face to extort" behavior; this isn't a matter of being mentally confused.

"What is there to say? People say our moral standards are sliding every day; with things like this happening constantly, who would still dare to go and help an elderly person?"

"Exactly, there are too many cases of bleeding and shedding tears; this one is still considered lucky."

"Anyway, I will absolutely not get involved if I encounter such a thing in the future; after all, if you didn't hit them, why would you help? Why would you send them to the hospital?"

Yuan Jie shook her head while looking at these comments; she felt that many people's thoughts were a bit extreme.

But actually, you can't blame them; it just feels like there are too many things to watch out for when being a good person these days.

Moreover, for those who bite back, the punishment is also a bit light.

Thinking this to herself, Yuan Jie was looking at videos online aimlessly when she suddenly saw that little red dot.

Holy crap, that son of a bitch A Yi actually dared to update?

She clicked in quickly and was immediately shocked by the title: "Helped in a righteous cause but got beaten instead, and they say I'm meddling? Backhanded them into prison!"

A Yi is really keeping up with current events; she was just thinking that the current punishments for such things are too light, which is why many people are so unscrupulous.

It turned out she didn't expect A Yi to release a similar video right here!

No more talk, she clicked play immediately; Yuan Jie felt she had already been stirred up by this title.

If this video isn't satisfying enough today, she must go to Jingzhou to find A Yi!

After clicking play, she looked at the bullet comments; sure enough, everyone's thoughts were about the same as hers.

Those who were bold enough simply said that if A Yi makes a title like this and can't satisfy everyone, then they'll go find him to "satisfy" him!

The video began with A Yi's familiar, kidney-deficient-sounding voice.

"Hello, dear audience lords, I am your old friend A Yi; today's case is a bit special again."

"If you are injured or something happens while performing a righteous act, how can you protect your legal rights when there is no tortfeasor?"

"When the person you helped doesn't thank you, and you have no money to treat the injuries you sustained, what can you do?"

Hearing this sentence, the bullet comments exploded instantly.

Although this matter seemed a bit different from the one in Modu, they were actually about the same.

Yes, there are so many cases of heroes who perform righteous acts bleeding and shedding tears; it seems like one really hasn't heard how they were finally resolved.

In most cases, the local civil affairs departments step forward to provide rewards and such; this, of course, has no problem, but it always makes people feel that the person who was helped is just too much.

She hurried to watch further; the video content unfolded following A Yi's introduction: a drunkard beating his wife on the street, others chose to ignore it, and only this Tengda Employee chose to go up and help.

When she saw the drunkard in the video turn around and start hitting people, Yuan Jie was instantly furious; however, when she saw the woman who was beaten still defending the man and helping to curse others, Yuan Jie felt her blood pressure rise all at once!

"What kind of people are these? Others helped her, and she's there cursing people? I'm truly speechless; if this were in front of me, I'd have to have a good argument with her!"

However, as the video continued, Yuan Jie slowly let out a sigh of relief; it was indeed the classic approach of A Yi, or rather, the Fang Dazhuang lineage.

If you encounter a problem that is hard to solve, consider the Criminal Case first.

But the most important thing was that regulation; Yuan Jie took out her phone while watching the video and carefully flipped through the Civil Code, and there really was such a regulation!

That is to say, if you save someone in the future but suffer losses yourself and no one compensates you, you can seek compensation from the person who was saved, regardless of whether they are willing or not!

This made people very happy; Yuan Jie continued watching.

Sure enough, it was the consistent style of A Yi's videos: initiate a Private Prosecution.

But they actually lost?

A Yi's Private Prosecution had never lost before; how could it lose now?

The lawyer on the other side has some real skills!

A group of viewers in the bullet comments also expressed great surprise; although it wasn't Fang Dazhuang who appeared, there had never been a case of a failed Private Prosecution before.

"This lawyer is awesome; what's their name? This person really has ability!"

"I think so too; I just don't know who is more powerful between this lawyer and Fang Dazhuang; to be able to win this lawsuit, how impressive!"

There were many similar remarks, but everyone was just feeling unhappy watching it.

In the words of the audience, we came to watch your A Yi video to be satisfied, but now that you've ended up failing, how is that supposed to satisfy everyone?

However, as Fang Dazhuang appeared in the video, everyone immediately shut their mouths.

This tall, sturdy man looked very "criminal"; as long as he appears, someone will definitely go to prison.

Sure enough, the words Fang Dazhuang spoke shocked everyone!

Or rather, it was an unprecedented line of thinking; could Criminal Law charges actually be thought of this way?

Yuan Jie started worshipping him again while watching the video; Fang Dazhuang is indeed Fang Dazhuang—converting a Private Prosecution Case into a Public Prosecution Case; if they don't go Treading the Sewing Machine, it won't work.

Originally, Yuan Jie thought things would end there, but she didn't expect there to be more afterward!

Zhou Xinran was helping someone else with a lawsuit, and the Defendant was that woman, and she actually admitted to her fake divorce during the court trial!

This flashy maneuver stunned the audience, and so, everyone learned another charge...

Yuan Jie stared blankly at the video; the husband, the wife, and even the lawyer who had previously won the lawsuit, all went to prison.

Among them, the husband is carrying two charges, Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble and the False Litigation Crime; this is going to be a Combined Punishment for Several Crimes...

Don't even mention it. Yuan Jie watched the video end and muttered to herself: "Sooner or later, I'm going to finish learning all the Criminal Law charges from A Yi's videos..."

The False Litigation Crime—honestly, she had never heard of it before. It turns out that using the means of false litigation to evade debt also leads to Treading the Sewing Machine!

No wonder A Yi always says: Criminal Law Volume Twelve, every volume has your name. Don't think about using your own petty cleverness to provoke the Criminal Law these days.

Whatever you can think of, the Criminal Law basically already has it; even if it doesn't, there is still the Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble charge.

After finishing A Yi's video, Yuan Jie started scrolling through the comments section. Sure enough, everyone had already begun an enthusiastic discussion.

One of the main topics being discussed was: if that husband and the Lawyer knew the reason they were going to jail, would they start a fight?

Everyone was discussing it very enthusiastically, though another group of people was talking about professional matters, such as how the False Litigation Crime should actually be applied.

As soon as this video was released, its popularity exploded and it went viral. After all, there are too many cases of being extorted after performing a heroic act, and everyone really wants to see this kind of counterattack!

The harder the counterattack, the better!

It's not that the harm caused by these people's actions is so great, but rather that everyone hates this kind of thing so much.

It's just like Zhou Mouren's first video, where he backhanded a one-million-yuan recharge; the account was sold and then retrieved. The matter wasn't big, but it was incredibly disgusting!

While there was heated discussion online, inside the Tengda Company, Zhou Mouren looked at these comments and smiled. Of course, he knew the situation behind Niu Xiufei and the other two.

Yesterday, he went to the Police Station for something and ran into Lao Zhou, and then Lao Zhou talked about the previous situation.

Lu Yunling kept wanting to beat people up and couldn't be held back. After all, it could have been a Suspended Sentence, but it suddenly turned into an Actual Sentence, and it was even longer than before. Who could stand that?

As for Niu Xiufei, when she found out that the things she said in court would actually lead to all three of them receiving criminal penalties, she was stunned.

She kept crying and complaining there, saying she didn't know at all that this was a crime; she just thought it was temporarily evading the repayment of money. How did it become a crime?

She cried until her throat was hoarse, but unfortunately, the more intensely she cried, the more Lu Yunling wanted to beat her, and the easier it was for the folks at the Police Station to lose their composure.

It even got to the point later on where they had to take turns going out to have a good laugh before they could come back to continue the interrogation...

Of course, corresponding to this was another group of people, namely the Creditors led by Yu Jianneng, who grouped together to send banners to the Zhonglou Police Station and Fang Dazhuang's law firm.

In Yu Jianneng's words, he had never seen a lawsuit fought like that. Some even directly stated: "Even if I can't get the money back, being able to see this pair of scumbags go to jail is already very satisfying!"

In times like this, if the money isn't much, people really don't care; it's mainly that breath of frustration that makes people feel very unhappy if it can't be released.

Putting down his phone, Zhou Yi walked to the floor-to-ceiling window once again. Xiao Wu Guniang is truly a good girl; there should be more Employees like this.

Look at the current situation:

Huo Pengfei finally got his wish and had his name written into the Case Analysis; his own Zhou Xinran got a banner; Fang Dazhuang calmed his mood; and he, Zhou Mouren, posted a video...

Everyone is very satisfied; it seems there is no one who is dissatisfied. You tell me, what more could you want?

Not paying attention to this matter anymore, Zhou Yi spent all his thoughts on the engagement.

A week passed quickly. On Friday, Tengda went on holiday, and a group of Employees were almost ecstatic, cheering and jumping for joy.

This caused many bosses of surrounding Companies to start cursing again.

Damn it, it's happening again. There hasn't been a peaceful moment all year. Either they go out for team building on workdays, or they give out gold, and now the boss is actually giving a mini-vacation for his engagement!

It's simply too much. How are you supposed to let our Employees work with peace of mind like this!

Everything is afraid of comparison. If it weren't for Tengda, everyone would be used to 996 or 997, and they wouldn't think about anything else.

We're corporate slaves, after all; the word 'slave' is already in there. You're getting paid, what else do you want!

But now look at Tengda next door. If it were just a high salary, that would be one thing, as big internet companies have higher salaries.

But their benefits and treatment are too good!

The bosses really want to curse. This kind of behavior is disrupting the market; you are shaking our foundations!

Zhou Yi naturally doesn't care about this. You can't just let the workers be the only ones grinding; everyone has to grind.

Otherwise, many bosses are crying poor all day long, saying they are losing money, but as they lose, the 500,000-yuan car they originally had gets replaced with a 1-million-yuan one, and the girl in the car is even younger and more vibrant.

The engagement was actually a bit more troublesome than Zhou Mouren imagined, or rather, he didn't expect that there would still be these rituals for an engagement nowadays.

But it doesn't matter. It's all for show anyway. He and Zhou Xinran were like highly skilled actors, acting very happily.

After the engagement, Zhou Xinran officially moved into Zhou Yi's house in the Guangming Peak Residential Quarter.

Then, Zhou Mouren saw for the first time just how many clothes a girl has!

Originally, the large wardrobes in his home were basically empty.

Because Zhou Yi himself wouldn't buy many clothes at all; a few pieces a year were enough.

However, Zhou Xinran managed to stuff the wardrobes full...

That's why they say, dating is dating, and marriage is marriage; these are two completely different concepts.

Under the temptation of hormones, young people will always imagine the other half to be incomparably perfect, but after living together, everything will be exposed.

Fortunately, he and Zhou Xinran are still very compatible, whether it's their personalities, their living habits, or the length, depth, and so on—they are all very compatible.

Of course, it has nothing to do with Zhou Xinran being a beauty; Zhou Mouren has always valued the beauty of the soul. That's exactly how it is...

During the three-day mini-vacation, the two of them basically spent their time at home organizing things and incidentally getting used to each other, such as with trivial matters like cooking, washing dishes, and cleaning.

Time arrived at Monday morning; today was the day the two of them were setting off.

They didn't plan to sign up for a Travel Agency. The bosses of the Travel Agencies in Jingzhou wanted to curse when they heard his name. That large-scale rectification caused many Travel Agencies in Jingzhou to shut down.

Surely a self-driving tour wouldn't have any problems.

They wouldn't go very far either, just to Yueya Lake in Luzhou for a trip.

And incidentally, go to the countryside to experience the pastoral scenery.

Zhou Xinran sat in the passenger seat looking at Zhou Yi, her eyes filled with sweetness. Matters of the heart are just like this; let nature take its course, no need to interfere. When it appears, it will naturally bloom like a flame.

As a result, the sweetness between the two was quickly broken.

Zhou Xinran's phone rang. She picked it up, took a look, and shrugged: "Teacher Fang is calling. I don't know what it is this time."

After answering the phone, Fang Dazhuang's voice sounded: "Have you two set off? You've set off, right? Okay, be safe on the road, um... that's all."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Xinran said with a suspicious look: "Teacher Fang actually made a call just to tell us to be safe?"

Zhou Yi shook his head to indicate that he did not know either, but soon smiled and said, "I think he is jealous of us. In the past, the three of us were always together, but now that the two of us are going out for our honeymoon, he is the only one left."

Suddenly, bursts of laughter rang out inside the car.

Meanwhile, inside the law firm office, Fang Dazhuang hesitated for a moment before putting down his phone, muttering to himself:

"Forget it, let nature take its course. If I don't encounter it, then I don't encounter it."

Shaking his head, Fang Dazhuang refocused his gaze on his laptop; many things were only theoretical, and to research them, one needed real-life examples, but in reality, such examples were too few and far between to ever see.

One update today, because... Lao Jiu has a bit of a fever, but I'm not sure if I've been hit, it might just be a cold, I need to test tomorrow. Thanks to Feimaowuyu, another new brother, Wenchidage, Fengzhongchuanqi, and Wuzhongsheng. Thank you, brothers, for the tips, thank you.
