Free Web NovelChapter 843: Chapter 304: What? The UP Is Quitting the Internet?
After posting the video.
Qin Mu comfortably lay down on the sofa and started playing with his phone.
At the same time.
He thought about whether he should take a break and rest for a while.
So as to prevent...
The deputy director, director, or others like them from finding reasons to bother him.
...
Meanwhile.
Zizhou.
A certain upscale residential area.
Qing Lan sat in front of the livestream camera, preparing to start her stream as usual.
This was her daily work.
"Did UP post a new video?"
But before turning on the camera, her Little Station app suddenly received a notification alert.
It informed her that someone she follows had updated a video.
She was delighted.
Instantly reminded of the case Qin Mu encountered earlier.
Success motivation scams!
Earlier.
Because the other party was too cautious, Qin Mu was preparing to ask her for help in gathering evidence.
Moreover, she deeply despised this method of using success motivation to scam others.
Her friend...
Had been deceived before.
Such people exploit others’ desires for success in every possible way.
Then.
She eagerly clicked on the video and chose to play it.
In the video.
Qin Mu, as always, stood in front of the camera, narrating the case in this video.
And he didn’t forget to impart some legal knowledge.
For example, how the act of using success motivation to mislead others constitutes a crime.
He further explained why reporting such scams was ineffective...
Because without solid evidence, the police would not handle it.
More often.
To successfully report, one must first gather evidence sufficient to prove the other party’s illegal activities.
Otherwise...
If anyone can just run around accusing others of crimes without providing evidence, police might go crazy with work.
"In this case, I adopted an unlawful method to gather evidence against the other party."
As Qing Lan pondered.
Qin Mu disclosed his method of gathering evidence.
Pretending to be an assistant to deceive evidence from those who were scammed.
Even though these victims wouldn’t trust him, they would definitely trust the "assistant" identity.
Sure enough.
Using this method, Qin Mu successfully gathered the evidence.
"Can this... really work?"
Qing Lan was a bit surprised upon seeing this.
She had watched many of Qin Mu’s videos, but it was the first time witnessing Qin Mu using such a method to collect evidence.
"This seems like a violation of other people’s privacy, doesn’t it?"
She couldn’t help but mutter.
In previous explanations of foreign case law systems that Qin Mu provided, evidence gathered through such acts is inadmissible.
In other words.
Even if the police see a series of evidence, the first thing they inquire about is the evidence’s source.
Only after confirming the source is legitimate and accurate...
Would they consider filing a case.
Even...
If it’s discovered that the evidence was obtained by violating someone’s privacy, the reporter might get arrested too.
"Everyone, do not mimic my actions in this matter."
In the video.
Qin Mu reminded folks: "The opposite team was overly crafty, and I had no choice but to take such extreme measures."
"Moreover, such actions are not considered crimes in our country because they do not fit the legal definition of any specific crime..."
Qin Mu once more analyzed the nature of his actions.
It’s unlawful but not criminal.
The degree of violation is merely minor, perhaps amounting to no more than an apology.
Although he emotionally deceived the victims, his intentions were good.
Even if the victims sued him, demanding compensation for emotional distress or similar...
In normal circumstances, the court would dismiss it.
"Notably, the police department’s response was very swift, soon capturing the gang and verifying the criminal facts, submitting them for court trial in accordance with law."
"During the trial process..."
In the video.
Qin Mu eloquently discussed the follow-up results.
Because the motivational speaker "Master Nie" was a repeat offender, no sentence reduction was available.
He simply confessed to everything.
Causing seventeen people...
To all be denied sentence reductions.
Ultimately.
The trial lasted two hours, announcing the verdicts everyone deserved.
At the end of the video.
"In the near future, UP plans to rest well, hopefully no more distressing occurrences, and won’t be updating videos for now."
Qin Mu even specifically took a leave, saying he wants to enjoy life a bit.
Video updates would be more sporadic.
Not as frequent anymore.
"Not... updating anymore?"
Qing Lan, just having finished her fix, was startled by Qin Mu’s last words.
If you didn’t know better.
One would think Qin Mu had been through some sort of setback.
The statement seemed like he was considering quitting online altogether.
Thinking about this.
She hastily opened WeChat and sent a message to Qin Mu: "UP, what happened to you? Why suddenly say you’re not updating videos anymore?"
...
At the same time.
Study Law Alliance Forum.
With the update of Qin Mu’s video, the forum traffic saw a massive spike.
However, though...
The focus of everyone’s discussion wasn’t on the traffic growth but on the last sentence in Qin Mu’s video.
"So youthful, yet here we part! UP surprisingly said he’d update videos only randomly in the future, if he stops legal explanations who am I supposed to watch?"
"What on earth happened? Is anyone brave enough to find out the truth?"
"Shocking! That man is suspected of being emotionally hurt, despondent, and even threatened to stop making videos!"
"Do you guys think... could the content creator be threatened? Considering the time, the first batch of defendants he sent in must be coming out soon, right?"
"In that case, it’s even less likely he’d say something like updating at his own pace. Who would be tired of living and want to threaten the creator? That would just be offering material for him, wouldn’t it?"
"..."
The three main discussion boards.
The discussions were intense and heated.
All centered around Qin Mu’s "going offline" scenario, speculating and analyzing in all sorts of ways.
That’s right.
Qin Mu merely posted a simple video about updating at his own pace, and the netizens spread it as if he was retiring from the internet.
In their eyes,
Qin Mu had been enthusiastically updating so many cases, clearly finding these illegal and morally questionable matters daily.
Saying he would update at his discretion all of a sudden...
Seemed like he was giving up on legal awareness.
This hit many people hard.
Not long after.
A post with enormous popularity appeared on the forum.
Someone made a guess: "Do you all think... maybe the content creator feels there’s no interaction with fans, so he thinks his legal awareness efforts are meaningless, thereby forming a vicious cycle and losing more enthusiasm?"
As soon as this post appeared,
it attracted many netizen comments.
First floor: Goodness, the poster is really talented to think of this?
Second floor: Don’t say it, there’s indeed some truth to it. The comment section is all about sharing the weather and expressing emotions. If I were him, I’d also feel unmotivated.
Third floor: Maybe the creator doesn’t even know he has seven million fans on our forum?
Fourth floor: Definitely doesn’t know. Our methods of operation are so secretive, even if he’s the creator, he can’t possibly know.
Fifth floor: If we tell the creator this news, would he be motivated?
Sixth floor: Is it possible that if the creator finds out we kept a forum secret from him, he’d go berserk on the spot?
Seventh floor: The creator wouldn’t stop his legal awareness work, right?
Eighth floor: Are we supposed to interact with the creator? Isn’t that asking for trouble? Don’t you know the outcomes for those who deal with the creator?
Ninth floor: It won’t even be survivable once you offend the creator; even a god couldn’t save you!
Tenth floor: Fellow netizens, I believe you don’t want to see the creator leave the internet either, right? Recruiting skilled individuals to personally meet the creator.
Eleventh floor: The forum’s survival is everyone’s responsibility; let us all step up in crucial moments!
Twelfth floor: Bah! You old foxes are trying to fool us newcomers, aren’t you?
Thirteenth floor...
In this thread,
many people were trying to coax the newcomers into actively finding Qin Mu and exposing the forum.
After what they considered rigorous analysis...
they felt Qin Mu lacked motivation for making videos because he couldn’t see their interactions.
But those newcomers weren’t fools; not a single greenhorn stood out.
However, some people...
actively commented under Qin Mu’s latest video, pleading for him not to quit the internet.
...
Jin City.
Mountain and Water Garden District.
After posting the video, Qin Mu took a bath.
Then lay on the bed.
Planning to play on his phone for a bit.
He then saw "concerned messages" from Qing Lan, asking if he had encountered any setbacks recently.
Qin Mu twitched his mouth, feeling quite speechless.
What setbacks exactly?
Clearly, he just...
wanted to take a break.
Dealing with this stuff every day would exhaust anyone.
Yet, Qing Lan’s reaction was as if he had experienced some kind of blow.
Then,
he opened Little Station and watched the video he just released.
Finding that the views were as high as ever.
In just two hours, it astonishingly reached over a million views.
The growth rate was truly remarkable.
And the comment section he had no desire to delve into...
the comments this time surprised him a bit.
The comments were no longer about weather expressions or moods.
"Why is the creator suddenly going offline? After learning from your videos for so long, I just successfully turned my roommate in and was planning to take an additional degree in law."
"We’re all your fans, begging the creator not to leave the internet!"
"Without the creator, moral coercion would be as enduring as a dark night. Creator, please don’t quit the internet."
"If you quit, those trolls will be revived again; it’s so rare to see such a clean Little Station."
"..."
In merely two hours,
the comments under his video exceeded a thousand.
And they kept growing at an incredibly fast pace.
It’s just...
after Qin Mu finished reading, he couldn’t help but turn a bit dark-faced.
Gnashing his teeth: "Really... who spread the news that I’m quitting the internet?"
He was just giving his fans an early heads-up,
yet this group of people imagined it as if he was really quitting, prompting all these fans to rush to the video begging him to stay.
It was quite extraordinary.
And it wasn’t long before, freewebnσvel.cøm
he saw some other content creators on Little Station uploading videos.
Also discussing the rumor of him "possibly quitting the internet".
"Shocking! A content creator with over ten million fans on Little Station posts a video late at night, rumored to be quitting the internet!"
"What message is hidden behind this creator’s quitting?"
"This man is leaving the internet; the dark nights for the trolls are about to scatter, and dawn is nearing!"
"Trolls: Without that man, there’s no one formidable online!"
The titles they chose were real clickbait.
Watching these videos, he suddenly felt speechless.
Seriously, the dawn for trolls?
His presence...
could it really be doomsday for those trolls?
Moreover,
he genuinely just wanted to rest a few days, not keep up with this "high-intensity work" every day.
Yet...
he didn’t bother to clarify people’s speculations about him quitting the internet.
Actually,
he was quite curious himself whether pretending to quit would lead the current good internet atmosphere back to how it used to be.
Take Little Station now, for instance.
Comments lecturing from a moral high ground and blaming others had almost disappeared.
