Free Web NovelChapter 867: Chapter 323: Children Silenced by Fear
In response.
Qin Mu touched his nose, feeling rather embarrassed.
To avoid unnecessary trouble.
He used anonymity to communicate with Zhou Shaohui.
Primarily...
He was worried that once the forum fans found out he also frequented the forum, they might do something "irrational."
But turns out.
He suddenly found himself with a little fanboy, who even suggested he join the ranks of promoting legal education...
"Maybe in the future."
He shook his head.
Qin Mu casually brushed it off with a few words.
And then...
He opened other sections of the Study Law Alliance Forum, intending to see the dynamics of the netizens.
In the forum.
Many netizens, due to his delay, resorted to all means.
"Offering a huge reward, I’m willing to privately offer ten thousand yuan, for a brave soul to urge the up to update."
"What do you think... the up hasn’t updated in a month, could it be that someone retaliated against him?"
"If he really got retaliated against, that’s good, the up will definitely have new video material to produce."
"No one would be so foolish as to dare to retaliate against the up, right?"
"If you say others got retaliated against, I might believe it, it’s lucky the up doesn’t retaliate against others."
"I have a cousin as beautiful as a flower, if anyone can make the up update videos, I’ll introduce them to her!"
"..."
In the "Restart Life" section.
Many "old hands" offered various conditions specifically to hire people to urge updates.
But not many fell for it.
Everyone chose to steer clear, not a single person took on this "task."
Despite the hefty reward.
No brave souls emerged.
While in the legal zone.
Zhou Shaohui also specifically posted a thread, updating fellow netizens on the latest developments in the Zhou Xiaoqing case.
Specially thanking all the netizens for their help.
"Our forum really is full of hidden talents; with the help of a mysterious expert, we successfully defended our rights and sent all those involved trolls... behind bars!"
This post quickly became popular, receiving continuous replies.
Pinned to the forefront.
First floor: This conclusion is truly satisfying, the sentencing is harsh enough, I like it!
Second floor: In the past, online violence would barely result in defamation charges, wasn’t it never sentenced to so many years?
Third floor: Indeed, defamation charges wouldn’t carry long sentences; it must have been the fallback offense of provocation and troublemaking!
Fourth floor: Really curious, who is this expert? They even thought of such methods, seems like a god well-versed in criminal law.
Fifth floor: Do you think if this god were to take the up to court, who would win?
Sixth floor: Fifth floor, your thinking is dangerous, I’m not sure who would win, but you definitely wouldn’t survive.
Seventh floor: It’s a pity this god doesn’t seem very interested in promoting legal education, otherwise, with more legally savvy people, there’d be fewer people daring to commit crimes.
Eighth floor: It’s inevitable, some people follow rules, but some are born defying them.
Ninth floor: Didn’t expect our forum to have such impressive figures, suddenly I feel I’ve joined an incredible organization!
Tenth floor: When I encounter any case in the future, I’ll also come to the forum for help.
Eleventh floor...
Upon learning about Zhou Xiaoqing’s situation.
These netizens all congratulated Zhou Shaohui, their emotions lifted.
Attempting to find that "anonymous expert" in the forum.
...
Qianzhou.
In a certain neighborhood.
"Huh? Even without up updating videos, the forum’s activity has risen so much?"
Ma Ming sat before the computer, looking at the forum’s backend data.
Couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.
This data...
Appeared a bit unusual.
Before, whenever a video was updated, the forum’s registration numbers and activity would spike.
But this time...
The up hasn’t updated videos for a month now.
Still puzzled.
He opened the forum to search for the reason.
Very quickly.
In the legal zone, he found the "source."
A post named Thank You Thread caught his attention.
It was precisely this post that sparked a wave of discussion in the forum, with many netizens joining in.
Searching for that anonymous "expert."
"Zhou Xiaoqing’s issue... has been resolved?"
Looking at this post, Ma Ming paused for a bit.
The case of the little girl who was scolded into jumping off a building over a one yuan donation had been fervently discussed in the forum before.
He naturally knew.
At that time.
He thought there was no way, after all, the punishment for online violence was too lenient.
The elements of defamation were met by only a few people.
To punish four hundred plus people...
Was nearly impossible.
"Using provocation and troublemaking charges to catch them all... this expert is indeed impressive."
After reading the post.
Ma Ming’s expression brightened, and he couldn’t help but exclaim.
For ordinary people.
It’s hard to think from such an angle, even more so to understand the criminal law articles so thoroughly.
"Who exactly is this expert?"
He blinked.
Just like the other netizens, he suddenly became curious about the expert’s identity.
Besides up, there are such remarkable individuals in the legal world.
"Should I... check the IP?"
Suddenly.
A thought flashed before him.
As the site administrator.
He could use the backend to track the IP addresses and other data of every user who posts on the forum.
Usually.
He wouldn’t investigate users’ IPs casually, but now he was equally curious about this anonymous "expert."
Wanting to see...
Which extraordinary figure in the legal world this expert is.
"I can just check the address, as long as I don’t use it for profit or publicize it, it should be fine!"
He took a deep breath, muttering to himself.
Then looked at the backend, placing his hands on the keyboard.
Began to operate.
However...
When he found the IP address of this anonymous expert, he suddenly became dumbfounded.
Backend shows.
The person secretly communicating with Zhou Shaohui on the forum...
Actually comes from Jin City!
Even more unbelievable...
Also from that retirement home in Jin City!
"Hiss!!"
His pupils suddenly constricted, and he instinctively pulled his hands away from the keyboard in shock.
Couldn’t help but swallow and take a deep breath.
Such a goddamn expert!
This is clearly...
Something done by the up!
He is very familiar with this retirement home.
Many of the classic cases in his memory...
Originated from this retirement home!
The up works in this retirement home as well!
"This... This this..."
He swallowed his saliva, suddenly not knowing what to do.
This also means...
The up had already discovered their forum, judging by the level they are a veteran user.
The daily online time...
Exceeds an hour!
He thought he had hidden the forum well enough, but Qin Mu still managed to find it!
"Registered half a year ago, the up should... be quite satisfied with the forum, right?"
After the panic.
He gradually calmed down and regained his composure.
It seems...
It’s not such a big deal after all.
If Qin Mu wanted to shut down their forum, he would have done it long ago.
He wouldn’t have waited until now.
Nor would he be posting in the forum every day, offering advice to Zhou Shaohui.
However...
The fact that there’s such an "anonymous expert" hidden in the forum makes him truly uneasy.
"No way, I have to manage the forum more strictly, don’t let one bad apple ruin the whole forum!"
Looking at the forum’s backend on the computer, he clicked on the "Forum Member Management Rules."
And added...
Many prohibited clauses.
At the same time, raised the standards for member speech.
Previously, as long as you registered as a member you could speak, but now you need to reach a certain level to participate in topic discussions.
After finishing all this.
He started patrolling the forum again, ensuring no stone was left unturned.
...
Next day.
Jin City.
Retirement home.
After his vacation ended, Qin Mu’s life returned to normal.
As usual, working inside the home.
During his free time, sitting in the office slacking off.
When bored, coming to the yard to chat with Zhang Qingyuan and others.
"Xiao Qin, do you find it strange, we used to often see those illegal and criminal activities, but now we don’t come across any?"
In the afternoon.
Song Tiancheng sidled up to Qin Mu, unable to resist asking.
His face full of confusion and bewilderment.
"Ahem, well... I don’t know either."
Qin Mu’s face slightly darkened, responding perfunctorily.
Goddamn can’t come across.
This is clearly...
He turned off the [ Hundred Strikes Hundred Hits ] skill.
Without this skill, his life is now similar to that of an ordinary person.
Without that aura impact...
People around naturally don’t encounter those illegal, immoral, and coercive things anymore.
As for when to activate this skill...
For now, he has no plans to.
It’s rare to have a few leisurely days, he just wants to relax.
"I’m so bored, just had a case to watch yesterday, these days have been too plain."
"Nothing much to see in Jin City Court either, will be days ahead before seeing a criminal case."
"Xiao Qin, why don’t you... go out for a stroll, who knows, there might be surprises."
"Even if Xiao Qin goes out it may not work, ever since Jin City was rated as a civilized city, probably everyone in Jin City knows Xiao Qin."
"..."
In the yard.
Zhang Qingyuan, Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng and others sighed heavily.
No interest in chess, fishing, or card games.
While chatting.
Came to discuss the recent changes in Jin City.
Law and order have significantly strengthened, various petty theft, illegal activities, even things like fighting over bus seats have decreased quite a bit.
Those criminal behaviors...
Have almost vanished without a trace.
The cases created by Qin Mu have scared a bunch of people across all sectors in Jin City.
Real estate, healthcare, delivery, banking, automotive...
Every industry has left behind a highly impressive legend.
It’s said adults now scare kids by saying "Qin Mu is coming." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The effect is striking.
As soon as children hear it, they certainly won’t dare cry anymore.
"I’m now... recognized by everyone in Jin City?"
Qin Mu listening to the group’s chat, had a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Not quite believing it.
"If you don’t believe it, go out yourself, choose a store, any industry, and they’ll definitely recognize you!"
Li Weiguo glanced sideways.
Spoke with an annoyed tone: "The other day I went to buy some calligraphy supplies, the shop owner recognized me, gave me a set of brush ink paper and inkstone for free, pleaded with me not to bring you to his shop."
Speaking of this.
He was somewhat annoyed.
Now, old folks from their home, big and small have become celebrities.
Nearby shop owners almost all know them.
Every visit.
The other party is always a bit uneasy, very courteous.
Makes them feel like landlords and bullies, which is quite uncomfortable for them.
Qin Mu: "..."
He just wanted to defend himself a bit.
Suddenly seeing a message on his phone from Qing Lan who hadn’t been in touch for a long time.
"Up, are you lacking material recently? I found you some new material and already took care of it for you!"
Behind the message.
Came with a "Don’t thank me" emoji.
