I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2100 - 1352: Plenty of Water

Is a human life priceless?

Of course it’s priceless.

It’s just that when special circumstances arise, they need special handling.

For example —

Car accident.

As everyone knows, if a traffic accident results in casualties, as long as it’s not entirely or primarily your fault, it can usually be resolved with money.

As for the amount...

Third-party insurance is generally more than sufficient.

Therefore, in certain unexpected situations, life can be linked to money, and the "exchange rate" can’t be too exaggerated.

As for the couple Tu Lei seeking five million in compensation due to the death of their elderly mother, even though it exceeds most vehicle owners’ third-party insurance, it barely remains within a reasonable range and isn’t considered outrageous.

But 99,999,999...

That’s a bit ridiculous.

It’s one thing for a super-rich person to joke about it, but do ordinary people really dare to take it seriously?

Are they seriously considering a billion as a small goal?

Apart from accidents, there are many places in the world that treat people like commodities, where organs are clearly priced, and the northern part of Myanmar affected by Boss Jiang is one of them.

In such places, how many hostages can be worth a billion?

Even greedy scammers wouldn’t dare to ask for a lion’s share like that.

Damn, this is crazier than scammers.

If this isn’t extortion, what is it?

So, when Fang Qing heard about Boss Jiang’s gestures, even she gave "approval and praise."

"Since when did you become so knowledgeable about the law?"

There’s an old saying.

A cultured thug is the real menace.

A businessman, philanthropist, entrepreneur, not studying economics or humanities, but delving into criminal law instead.

"Being influenced by you, a top lawyer, after spending so much time together, I’ve unconsciously absorbed some knowledge."

Jiang Chen looked indifferent.

Fang Qing remained composed, then casually asked, "How long are you planning to sentence them?"

How long are you planning to sentence them?

This question poses significant ambiguity.

Of course.

It is because they are in a hotel, with no one else around to overhear, hence not worried about leaks.

How can someone ask so casually?

Determining a sentence is up to the judge, or rather the law, how can one decide?

As a top talent from the Political and Legal University, Fang Qing should not be making such a basic mistake.

Or perhaps...

She might just be joking.

Jiang Chen shrugged, "According to Article 274 of the Criminal Law: extorting public or private property in a large amount leads to imprisonment of up to three years, detention, or surveillance; if the amount is huge or particularly severe, imprisonment for three to ten years."

Speaks without hesitation.

This isn’t just being influenced, it’s like internalized knowledge.

Yet, it’s the truth.

Business and criminal law are intricately linked.

The majority of successful entrepreneurs are sure to be well-versed in the law.

Why?

It’s simple.

The most profitable ways of making money are usually written in the criminal law.

If you’re not aware, it’s easy to inadvertently step over the line.

A billion minus a dollar.

Does it count as "a huge amount"?

With the current average income in Shen Zhou, earning a salary over 10,000 a month surpasses 99% of the population.

To earn a small goal in monthly salary over 10,000, how many years would it take?

A lifetime surely wouldn’t be enough.

So, the answer is undeniable, extorting a billion is definitely considered a gigantic amount.

And if it’s determined to be a "huge amount," what’s the consequence?

The Criminal Law spells it out clearly.

It implies a prison sentence of three to ten years.

Don’t even need to think, the couple will surely cry and shout during that time.

The rope breaks at its thinnest point, misfortune befalls those who have suffered.

The elderly jumped to her death not long ago and now, the couple is about to face a double tragedy and work at the textile mill, it’s truly a human tragedy!

Leaving behind a poor underage son, lonely and helpless, how will he live?

Cruel.

Truly too cruel.

"Why not simply send the kid in there too."

As the lawyer for the defendants, Fang Qing surely understands the plaintiff’s family situation.

"Having a large internet addiction is not a crime."

Boss Jiang’s routine response.

In reality, there’s no need to worry about that lad, his displayed indifference and selfishness, without parents, for him, it might mean losing restraint and feeling more free.

"This case, get someone else to take over, you shouldn’t face it directly."

Jiang Chen added.

"It’s reasonable and legal, why can’t I confront it?"

With Fang’s wisdom, asking that, clearly pretending to be naive on purpose.

Reasonable and legal, but emotionally inappropriate, most likely getting cursed, as the public neither traces back origins nor understanding, due to the inertia of perception and class positions, they instinctively empathize with the "weak" and resent capitalists.

"My legal team isn’t just you, no matter how much work you do, I won’t pay you a penny more in salary."

Boss Jiang is extremely peculiar, clearly so eloquent, yet in front of Qing Mei, always babbling nonsense, saying what he doesn’t mean.

"Any idea who instructed them from behind?"

Fang Qing shifted the topic.

Jiang Chen shook his head, casually replied, "No need."

Just like the chessboard hanging on the wall in the reception hall at Jiangcheng Starfire Medical Center, the truth behind this matter is crystal clear.

The couple is nothing but props being pushed forward.

Obviously, someone is spending money and instructing them to throw mud on Xinghuo Medical Center, otherwise, where did this family’s red dragon, large golden bracelets, and 4090 graphics card come from,

This is the tragedy of small characters.

It’s so easy to lose oneself, failing to measure one’s own worth, without enough weight, blindly getting involved in the fight of immortals, and ultimately being ripped into shreds by the ensuing storm.
