Chapter 936 - 392: Citywide Panic!
There are so many people outside the retirement home that saying it’s a sea of people wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
A rough estimate.
There are at least several thousand people.
And that doesn’t include those who are still on their way.
In the security room...
Little gifts are piled up everywhere.
There are health products, thermos cups, scarves, tea, alcohol being gifted...
Besides some security maintaining order,
all other security guards have become porters, constantly "receiving deliveries."
"Where’s Qin Mu? Where is he?"
Wan Zhongyuan glanced outside the retirement home and couldn’t help asking.
This matter...
It was obviously caused by Qin Mu.
Our retirement home really doesn’t have the capacity to handle it.
We can only hand it back to Qin Mu.
"Qin... Brother Qin said he’s a bit busy and asked us... to help chase the people away, but with so many people outside, how could I dare to chase them away?"
The security captain smiled wryly and sighed.
Moreover.
Qin Mu also told him that these gifts could be distributed among the security team.
That’s why he put the gifts in the security room.
But...
The situation far exceeded his expectations.
At first, only a dozen people came to deliver gifts.
But it got more and more out of hand, with the number of people increasing.
The gifts directly "overstocked."
And.
No matter how he tried to persuade them, these people outside were dead set on not leaving until they gave the gifts.
Speaking of which.
The security captain shook his head and greeted a nearby security guard: "Xiao Liu, you keep an eye on things here for me, I’ll go ask Brother Qin again."
Then he picked up a box full of thick "apology letters."
And walked towards the office area of the retirement home.
...
Legal Advisor’s Office.
"Bang!"
Qin Mu looked at the box of apology letters placed on the ground by the security captain, equally stunned.
The security captain had come to him before.
He said someone had sent him gifts, and he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly...
The number of people was this large.
The security captain had a mournful look, pleading: "Brother Qin, please go take a look, now there are too many people outside, even Dean Wan is alarmed, no matter what I say they just won’t leave..."
Qin Mu: "..."
After a bit of inquiry.
He realized how huge this "apology crowd" was.
The main roads near the retirement home were already jammed.
After a little thought.
He closed his computer and paused his studies.
Followed the security captain out of the yard.
Along the way.
The security captain hesitated, stammering as he asked: "By the way, Brother Qin, can I ask, how exactly did they offend you?"
Actually.
Not only him, but the whole security team and retirement home were very curious about this matter.
Just imagine.
The people outside are not just one or two, but several thousand!
Being able to scare thousands of people into gathering outside the retirement home to apologize...
Qin Mu’s intimidating power is evident.
"Yeah, Xiao Qin, what exactly is going on? Why are there so many people outside seeking your apology?"
On the road.
Zhang Qingyuan and other old folks also heard about this matter and curiously asked Qin Mu.
Qin Mu rolled his eyes directly.
It’s fine if someone else asks.
But Zhang Qingyuan and the others...
They pretended not to know.
This whole situation was caused by them.
They spread rumors everywhere saying he had a terminal illness and didn’t have long to live, and the rumor spread throughout Jin City.
If his guess wasn’t wrong...
These people were obviously involved in spreading the rumors, and after realizing they were false, they were worried he’d settle scores with them.
So they proactively came to apologize.
Several minutes later.
He followed the security captain to the entrance of the retirement home and witnessed an overwhelmingly impressive scene.
The entrance of the retirement home was packed, noisy beyond belief.
However...
The next second.
Everyone’s gaze simultaneously focused on him.
The scene instantly fell silent.
Even the sound of a pin dropping could be heard clearly.
"Everyone... please go back, and take these gifts with you. I’m not so petty, just don’t spread rumors anymore."
Holding a microphone.
Qin Mu called out to the crowd, attempting to persuade them to leave.
However...
The crowd outside the gate stood rooted, not budging an inch.
It seemed...
They weren’t very convinced by his words.
Seeing that his words had no effect, Qin Mu had no choice but to continue: "Ahem, I’m serious, take the gifts back. You’ve already caused a public order disturbance, if you don’t leave now... I’ll have no choice but to report this to the police."
As soon as the words left his mouth.
The gift-givers shuddered, displaying expressions of fear.
Their actions were astonishingly synchronized.
Like they had agreed upon, they collectively turned their heads.
And sprinted in the direction away from the nursing home.
People surged like waves.
Almost causing a stampede incident.
Just two minutes later.
The gate of the originally packed nursing home returned to its usual tranquility.
Not a single person in sight.
"It’s still Xiao Qin... who’s reliable in getting things done."
Wan Zhongyuan, standing nearby, sincerely commented upon witnessing this scene.
This kind of intimidation...
Few people, in both ancient and modern times, possess it.
It shows just how much psychological impact Qin Mu has left on these people.
...
At the same time.
Jin City.
Legal Pioneer Law Firm.
In the office.
Zhang Wei had just finished a meeting, leaning against the sofa.
Planning to send Qin Mu a message to inquire about booking a plane ticket a month later.
In Jin City, only the two of them are participating in this legal industry exchange conference.
If they go...
The two can also go together, just along the way.
At the same time, he puts on Wang Dachui, intending to let him broaden his horizons.
"Huh? Why is the group chat blowing up again?"
Just picked up the phone.
Zhang Wei saw that those Jin City lawyer groups he had joined seemed to be exploding.
Every group’s chat history shows 999+.
"Hahaha, brothers, I don’t know what happened today, encountered more than a hundred consultations on legal issues, all asking the same question, made a fortune!"
"You encountered this too? My law firm also had lots of people coming in for legal consultations this afternoon, all asking about how rumors would be judged."
"My law firm was almost going crazy this afternoon, over 300 people came for consultations."
"Damn?! It’s not just my law firm making money? Your business is better than mine?"
"Can someone tell me what’s going on?"
"It seems they spread rumors about Qin Mu, saying he was dying..."
"Well, it’s related to the God of Wealth!"
"..."
Looking at these statements.
Zhang Wei’s expression lit up, and he instantly realized.
During the meeting just now.
The lawyers at his firm also reported a situation, saying consultation volume had clearly doubled this afternoon.
Turns out...
This matter is still related to Qin Mu.
In their legal industry...
Besides taking on representation, the main source of income is consultation fees.
Some lawyers charge by the hour, five hundred an hour.
Some lawyers charge per issue, a hundred per issue.
Some lawyers charge by the minute...
In any case.
This time, Qin Mu has brought a lot of clients to law firms in Jin City, helping all firms earn a big profit once again.
The name of the God of Wealth, lives up to its reputation.
Indeed...
He’s a person who supports an entire industry.
"People in Jin City still don’t learn their lesson, daring to spread any kind of rumor."
He shook his head helplessly, sighing.
Usually.
Spreading rumors has no cost.
But that’s because the person being rumored about doesn’t pursue it.
If taken seriously to the end, one can indeed hold the rumor spreaders accountable.
Even if no serious consequences are caused...
The rumor spreaders can be asked to publicly apologize.
In legal terms, apologies are mandatory.
Once the court orders an apology, the party needs to apologize publicly and offer some compensation.
Compensation is not clearly defined, and doesn’t require much.
If serious consequences are caused...
Criminal liability needs to be pursued, such as fabricating, intentionally spreading false terrorist information crimes, damaging commercial reputation, product reputation crimes, defamation crimes, and provocative behavior crimes, etc.
Without a doubt.
If serious consequences are caused, it still constitutes defamation.
Considering Qin Mu’s past attitude toward handling defamation...
The nervousness of Jin City people is understandable.
The lesson learned is not far away.
Initiating an apology is better than being sued or receiving a subpoena.
...
Jin City.
Those who once participated in spreading rumors...
After being "persuaded away" by Qin Mu, returned home with anxiety.
Their appetites have diminished significantly.
Afraid that Qin Mu had already sued, often checking their delivery information.
Fortunately...
A few days later.
They found that Qin Mu wasn’t as crazy, and no one around them received a subpoena.
As for Qin Mu...
He commutes to and from work on time every day, frantically supplementing his lacking legal knowledge.
Time flew by.
A month later.
Qin Mu finally completed his studies on all relevant legal knowledge.
The legislative statutes that have been passed, he has become thoroughly familiar with and can recite them backwards!
