Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 431 - 190: Law-Abiding Chen Family Village, Is This Illegal?_4

Chen Qing’s face changed dramatically upon hearing these words. He hurriedly refused, "Lao Liu, I’m telling you, gathering a crowd is illegal. I can help you with other things, but I will not have anything to do with this, even if it kills me!" After saying this, he didn’t care what was happening on the other end and hung up the phone directly. After hanging up, he let out a long sigh of relief.

As the incident fermented, the four words spoken most frequently in Chen Family Village were "abide by laws and regulations."

Families like Chen Qing’s were not in the minority. Their neighbors and relatives had been arrested and sentenced, so they dared not commit wanton acts of wrongdoing anymore.

Even the several families that were planning weddings hastily called off the ceremonies, deciding to keep things simple, fearing that at the wedding, another group of people might be sent away.

Even the usual post-meal chitchat, square dancing, and other activities were urgently canceled. Before they could understand what was legal and what wasn’t, they did not dare to gather casually.

In addition, the survivors of the "Rural Fun Battle" began to seriously reflect. Before doing anything, they would first learn whether it was against the law.

In Chen Family Village, just uttering the words, "Do you know that’s illegal?" could easily scare someone sick.

Many families had acquired a few books on basic law. During their free time, they began to study them.

The frequency of certain phrases in the daily language of the villagers changed as well. "Have you eaten?" used to be at the top of the list. Now, it had become, "Is this illegal?" Whenever they encountered something uncertain, the villagers’ first reaction was, "Is this illegal?"

「Jin City.」

In the Mountain and Water Garden District, after work, Qin Mu returned home and had dinner. He prepared to record a new video. The Chen Family Village incident had led to three consecutive sentences over the course of a month, and he hadn’t updated for a month. His fans on Little Station weren’t too pushy about new content, but on the Study Law Alliance Forum, it was chaos.

"Can someone tell me where up has gone? It’s been 37 days without an update!"

"Should we post a missing person notice to find up? Up has offended so many people, I seriously suspect he has been assassinated!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"It shouldn’t have come to that, right? Who would dare assassinate up these days? That’s really asking for a serious sentence!"

"Offering a large reward for any news of up, just hoping he is safe!"

"..."

In the forum, several posts appeared every day from people looking for information about him. There were even numerous conspiracy theories: kidnapping theories, assassination theories.

These netizens... Qin Mu shook his head helplessly. He walked into the study, ready to record this episode’s video. He turned on the camera. Facing the phone, he smiled slightly and said, "Thank you all for your concern. Up hasn’t disappeared, nor has he been assassinated; it’s just that I came across a big case recently."

Then, he recounted the events he experienced at a Chen Family Village country wedding. At the wedding, he encountered rowdy wedding shenanigans. Due to the bridesmaid’s fierce resistance, a major incident resulted in one death and three injuries!

"After calling the police, the bridesmaid was arrested. Due to certain connections, I participated in the defense process for this case."

Facing the camera, Qin Mu detailed his defense point regarding the right to unlimited self-defense, as well as the process. The right to unlimited self-defense is explicitly recorded in the criminal law. But due to the scarcity of case precedents, ordinary people do not know of it. Most people knew only of legitimate self-defense and excessive self-defense.

"Since the right to unlimited self-defense is written in the criminal law, it is the legitimate right of citizens. In the face of violent crime, anyone is allowed to exercise it." Qin Mu took a deep breath and stated earnestly, "Even if you are not the victim, bystanders can also exercise this right."

The right to unlimited self-defense means that no matter the consequences, one does not bear criminal responsibility. If, at the time of the wedding ruckus, it hadn’t been the bridesmaid who had acted violently but someone who stood up to resist, it could also have been argued as the right to unlimited self-defense. This not only falls under doing the right thing but also fighting against illegal and criminal acts. At any time, it deserves to be encouraged.
