But if the insults are too severe, the circumstances extremely bad, and the spread wide, it can still constitute the crime of online insult!

"My friend still abides by the unwritten rules of conduct; he only curses the individual, without involving any family members," Qing Lan replied again within seconds.

A few seconds later, she added, "But when it comes to cursing, my friend does it a bit too harshly."

Qin Mu said, "...You'd better pray for good luck and see if the other party will sue you."

This type of offense requires a private prosecution. If no lawsuit is filed, there's no issue.

However, the entire internet was currently cursing these two women. They were just two office workers; it was obviously impractical for them to sue the entire internet. Of course, one couldn't rule out the possibility that they might randomly pick a few "lucky comments" to sue. But right now, the number of comments attacking them online was simply too vast. The chance of Qing Lan being picked was probably slim.

"So you're saying... my friend might be sent to jail?"

A few minutes later, Qing Lan sent a message, sounding panicked.

"Isn't this your friend? Why are you panicking?" Qin Mu smiled faintly and replied, "Don't worry. Even if you're sued, I'll recommend a very famous lawyer for you, one who specializes in sentence reduction."

Naturally, he was referring to Zhang Wei.

During this time, Zhang Wei had been making waves in the Jin City legal circles. Even his law firm had expanded. It was said that nowadays, to see Zhang Wei... you had to book an appointment in advance.

「One day later.」

「Jin City.」

In a certain residential complex.

"No, I can't take it anymore! This family's shamelessness is too despicable!" Yan Jiayu put down her phone, trembling with anger once more.

All day long, she had watched the internet condemn and curse them, feeling an unbearable anguish. But there was nothing she could do.

Defend herself? At this point, any defense seemed pale and useless. As for apologizing... They weren't wrong, so why should they?

But to ease her own conscience, she mustered up the courage to call the boy's family again, proposing that she and Liu Die were willing to compensate 20,000.

The result... On the phone, she was viciously cursed out, and even her parents were dragged into it. They also insisted on not a cent less.

"Blackmail!" Liu Die, equally indignant, protested with dissatisfaction, "This is blatant extortion!"

This was something that had so little to do with them. They had already conceded so much, yet that family was still hounding them.

"I think... maybe we should sue this family?" Liu Die continued, "They're so aggressive, demanding money at every turn. They're completely commodifying a human life! It's true we did a good deed, but it shouldn't lead to this, should it? Can this even be counted as doing a good deed? It's a disgrace to all good deeds!"

Liu Die clenched her teeth and looked at Yan Jiayu.

They had no way to deal with those netizens, but filing a lawsuit against this one family was still something they could do.

"Yes!" Yan Jiayu's eyes flickered as she nodded. "I recorded the phone call just now. Their behavior definitely constitutes extortion!"

The family's behavior was utterly infuriating. As a fan of Qin Mu, she felt that after encountering such an incident, she could no longer simply back down. The more one conceded, the more the other side assumed they were easy to bully. This matter had nothing to do with them, yet the family dared to demand two hundred thousand! Such actions already constituted the illegal acquisition of property through coercion and threats. It amounted to the crime of extortion.

"Actually, filing a lawsuit is quite simple," Yan Jiayu said, after recalling what she had learned. She continued earnestly, "After drafting the complaint, detailing the cause and course of the incident, and gathering the evidence, we can then go to court to file it. However... before going to court, it's best to consult with a professional lawyer."

She had watched every episode of Qin Mu's videos. In them, many defendants had made numerous mistakes, leading to their irrevocable downfall. Qin Mu had also repeatedly advised that when filing a lawsuit, one must consult a professional lawyer. This would increase the chances of winning and also prevent them from making missteps or even incriminating themselves!
