Afterward, Qin Mu took out his cell phone and, as usual, opened the Study Law Alliance Forum. Ever since he had found his fans, he would visit the forum whenever he had free time. Netizens from various platforms gathered in this forum. Although there were many jokesters, their values were very sound. For instance, in this incident, they all refrained from making clear statements before an official announcement. They didn't rashly join the cyberbullying army. However, after the official announcement was made, the forum's posts were almost uniformly filled with verbal condemnations of the two women. The language used was even harsher than on other platforms and, at the same time, more professional.

"I'm a local from Jin City. These two are just ordinary people with no money, so they can't sue us all. Everyone, just curse as much as you want!"

"When you curse someone, remember to base it on facts and avoid personal attacks. Even if you get sued, it might not result in a case!"

"Actually, I seldom comment online, but the attitude of these two women is just detestable!"

"Making a mistake isn't the end of the world; the problem is acting like you're not wrong after making one!"

"..."

Learning from previous lessons, these netizens were extra cautious when slandering others. While cursing, they rarely included personal attacks or curses wishing for the death of their targets' parents. They strictly criticized and condemned the character and behavior of the two individuals. Even if the other party sued, it was uncertain whether a case would even be filed.

These netizens... Qin Mu thought, helplessly shaking his head. Thanks to his efforts, these netizens had, more or less, all gained some relevant legal knowledge. At least they were very clear about the criteria for filing defamation and insult charges. If they were cautious enough, even if they got sued, finding a reliable lawyer meant it wouldn't necessarily constitute a criminal offense.

「The next day.」

At the retirement home.

"Checkmate!" Qin Mu declared. He lifted his knight. Ha, check! A classic discovered check combination. A simple checkmate. Old Zhang was defeated once again.

"I won't play anymore, won't play anymore." Zhang Qingyuan, seeing the situation was irremediable, directly swept the pieces off the board, acting like a sore loser.

Qin Mu smiled. This was Zhang Qingyuan's reaction every time he lost a game of chess. But in a few days, he would come back, unwilling to concede, and ask to play again.

"Where's Old Song? I haven't seen him for a couple of days," Li Weiguo, who was sitting nearby, suddenly remembered and asked.

Qin Mu shrugged. "He went back to his hometown."

Ever since Old Song's witness testimony for the dog rescue case was recorded, his family had taken him back home. It seemed something had happened there, as he hadn't been to the retirement home for days.

"Something happened?" Zhang Qingyuan was taken aback.

"It should be nothing serious. Maybe his family missed him and wanted him to stay with them for a couple of days," Qin Mu said, shaking his head. This kind of situation was common in the retirement home. Most young people, busy with work and lacking time to care for their elders, would opt to send them to a retirement home. When they had time, they would take their elders back.

A few elderly people sat in the yard, chatting intermittently. Old Song was jovial by nature and very popular in the retirement home. Now that Old Song had been away for several days, many people expressed concern about his whereabouts.

"Let's not guess wildly. That angler Old Song probably went back to the countryside to fish to his heart's content."

"I think so too. He rarely gets a chance to go fishing when he's here."

"He always said he wanted to try wild fishing and challenge an eighty-eight-pound black carp."

"With his strength, he'd be lucky if the fish didn't pull him into the water..."

"..."

Most people thought Old Song had gone back to the countryside to fish. For a fishing enthusiast, fishing is of utmost importance. Old Zhang and the others speculated that Old Song wouldn't return until he'd had a satisfying fishing session.

「In the afternoon.」

Song Tiancheng returned to the retirement home, looking hurried, and appeared before everyone. Following him was a middle-aged woman with a rather downcast expression.

"What happened?" Qin Mu and the other elderly residents all looked at Song Tiancheng. The once spirited and hale Song Tiancheng seemed to have aged several years in just a few days. He no longer had his former vitality.

"My... my son has been arrested," Song Tiancheng sighed deeply, recounting what had happened recently.

A few days ago, not long after the dog rescue case, an incident had occurred at his home. His son had been reported by someone and was now detained at the Jincheng Detention Center.

"Reported by someone?" Qin Mu frowned, not immediately understanding.

"I don't know the details," Song Tiancheng sighed again, his face full of confusion and anxiety. "They said something about alleged illegal hunting, but my son is an honest, law-abiding man. He's never even gone into the mountains to hunt..."

His son, Song Yun, was just an ordinary person. He always abided by the law; he hadn't even run a red light. But this time, he was suddenly taken away by the police. They were told that due to alleged illegal hunting, he could be sentenced.

After this incident, their whole family felt as if the sky had fallen. Everyone was at a loss, running around frantically, not knowing how to cope.

Finally, Song Tiancheng had a flash of inspiration and thought of Qin Mu. He hurried back to the retirement home, hoping to ask Qin Mu for assistance.

Song Tiancheng turned his head and pointed to the middle-aged woman behind him. "This is my daughter-in-law, Miao Cuizhu. Come, this is Xiao Qin. You can just call him Uncle Qin."

The middle-aged woman was his son Song Yun's wife.
