However, as one video after another concerning Qin Mu was exposed, those defiant people gradually disappeared without a trace. Conscientious individuals took the initiative to visit the Judgnts Archive website and checked the uploaded case verdicts, soon confirming the sensational incident.
With a search on the internet, news from Jin City, the locality involved, ca flooding in!
"Acting Bravely for a Just Cause but Encountering Cyberbullying? This Young Man Resolutely Sues the Entire Internet!"
"It’s Judged! Really Judged! The Three Thousand Two Hundred People Involved in Cyberbullying Have All Received Their Punishnts!"
"The Internet Is Not a Lawless Place, Please Think Thrice Before Making Comnts!"
"Exclusive Report from an Elder: Behind a Successful Young Person, There Often Stands a Group of Remarkable Elders!"
Various local news reports gradually beca known to netizens across different platforms. Within the news reports, there were scenes of vast seas of people at the courthouse on the day of the verdict. Those unaware would have thought they were there to watch a soccer match.
And those defendants who had received suspended sentences also spoke up online in succession, verifying the reality of the situation.
"It’s true. The trial went on for five days, and the sentencing took one day. I was sentenced to five months of fixed-term imprisonnt, suspended for one year."
"I was at the scene. Speaking from personal experience, I urge everyone to stop blindly cursing others."
"I was in the Third Criminal Trial Court; the guy next to got three years and has already been detained locally."
"My impression of Qin Mu? Ruthless and a man of few words. That’s all I can say. I’m currently on probation and scared of going back in..."
"..."
One by one, those claiming to have "personal experiences" ca forward to tell their stories, providing a legal wake-up call to the netizens across various platforms with their painful lessons.
Seeing this, those who had participated in the internet bullying under the videos posted by Xia Qingqing couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle. They were trembling with fear, their hearts quaking with dread. Most of them were not sued simply because they did not et the criteria for prosecution; otherwise, they would likely have received a few months of detention as well.
For a while, comnts with hostility and aggression noticeably decreased across various platforms. But of course, in terms of "civilization and harmony," they were still far from the standard of Little Station. After all, Little Station had Qin Mu at the helm.
「A certain video platform.」
After the verdict of the lawsuit against the entire internet was released, relevant departnts urgently convened a eting to discuss their response policy to this incident.
"Let’s all share our thoughts," soone suggested.
At the eting, the attendees looked at each other, initially at a loss for words. In front of each of them lay a copy of the latest judgnt report from Jin City Court. That man, by his own strength, had shaken the entire internet! Three thousand two hundred individuals were collectively convicted. This also signified that the curtain had fallen on the lawsuit against the entire internet.
But everyone was aware that this was rely the beginning! In this incident, the relevant departnts had requested the real-na information of hundreds of people from them. Among these three thousand two hundred individuals, hundreds were from their platform! And the issue of internet violence had once again caught their attention! If this kind of thing happened two more tis, there was no guarantee that this man wouldn’t sue their platform next and bring the fire to them. A fine would be the least of their concerns. If it caught the attention of the relevant authorities, the blow to the platform would be devastating!
"This incident has grown too large! We must implent comnt moderation imdiately! Any remarks involving insults, accusations, or personal attacks need to be subject to risk control!"
"To be honest, many users on our platform lack sound judgnt. They watch a staged video and mistake it for the truth."
"It’s unavoidable; our positioning is such that it attracts these kinds of users."
"Right now, the priority is to control those cyberbullying behaviors..."
"..."
The eting continued for several hours, during which a series of ergency rectification plans were discussed. At the sa ti, teams were established to manually check the comnts in the hot comnt sections in real-ti.
However, when they began to filter and review the comnts, they suddenly noticed that the comnt sections across their platform were much cleaner. Many comnts with insulting or condemnatory language had been deleted by the original account holders just a few hours earlier.
「The next day.」
Jin City.
The nursing ho.
At nine in the morning, Qin Mu promptly started his shift. As soon as he saw Zhang Qingyuan, his expression turned stern, and he questioned, "Old Zhang, did you give an interview to the dia after yesterday’s court session ended?"
Zhang Qingyuan was taken aback. He nodded and said, "Yes, they said you didn’t want to be interviewed, so they ca to us."
The corner of Qin Mu’s mouth twitched, and he said in exasperation, "That doesn’t an you can talk nonsense, though."
With that, he opened a news report link on his phone. The interviewee in the link was none other than Zhang Qingyuan from the nursing ho.
In the interview, Zhang Qingyuan expressed his intense disgust for those trolls. When asked questions about Qin Mu, Zhang Qingyuan suddenly started speaking quite freely.
For instance, when a reporter asked what sort of person Qin Mu usually was, Zhang Qingyuan’s response was, "A very terrifying person."
When asked about Qin Mu’s usual temperant, Zhang Qingyuan’s response was, "Not much talk, but quite ruthless."
When asked how Qin Mu got along with the people in the nursing ho, Zhang Qingyuan answered, "We all get along great; those who don’t get along wouldn’t dare say anything."
When asked why Qin Mu thought to sue the entire internet, Zhang Qingyuan’s answer was, "To make money."
When asked about the reasons for the lawsuit’s success, Zhang Qingyuan’s answer was, "With the strong support of a group of elderly people."
Every answer... was beyond his expectations.
Actually, this case had caused a stir in Jin City. All the newspapers and dia were competing to cover it. After the trial ended, many people approached him, but he rejected them to avoid trouble. Unexpectedly... these journalists had gone after Old Zhang and the others instead.
"I didn’t answer any of the questions incorrectly," Zhang Qingyuan blinked innocently and said. "You are quite terrifying. You don’t talk much, and you are indeed quite ruthless."
"Also, our daily presence in the public gallery, cheering you on during the lawsuit, surely played a part in its success, right?" At this point, he said with a hint of wariness, "You wouldn’t be thinking of taking all the credit, would you?"
Qin Mu’s face darkened. Suddenly, he wasn’t quite sure what to say.
"Let’s not talk about this now. We’ve arranged to et with a few reporters for an interview this morning," Zhang Qingyuan suddenly interjected. Then he hurriedly walked out of the nursing ho with Li Weiguo, Song Tiancheng, and others. The group of elderly people looked very excited. Being interviewed and appearing on television were opportunities they had never had before!
Qin Mu: "..."
He decided not to concern himself further with Old Zhang and the others giving interviews. They were all in their seventies or eighties, very clear about the ways of the world. They probably wouldn’t create any ssy public opinion.
"Xiao Qin, the Deputy Director is looking for you."
At eleven in the morning, the head of the nursing departnt found him and said suddenly.
Qin Mu was stunned for a mont, sowhat surprised. It couldn’t possibly be... about the interview again, could it?
With uncertainty, he headed to the Deputy Director’s office.
"Co in."
Pushing the door open, Qin Mu walked in and saw Deputy Director Wan Zhongyuan sitting in his office chair, with a young man about his own age sitting opposite him.
"Xiao Qin, you’re here," Wan Zhongyuan said, standing up enthusiastically as soon as he saw him and personally pouring him a cup of tea.
