Chapter 928 - 384: The Internet Erupts!
The third condition, and also the most important one.
It is that the person’s failure to fulfill a specific duty by inaction results in harmful consequences, meaning there is a causal relationship between the inaction and the harmful result.
For example.
A husband, after his wife gets into a car accident, does not call for emergency assistance despite having a phone, internet, and signal.
Ultimately...
Resulting in the wife missing the critical rescue time and dying.
This is a clear causal relationship.
Because...
During that time, as long as the husband called for emergency help, there was a high probability he could save his wife’s life.
In another situation.
Someone is about to drown, A hurriedly goes to grab a life buoy nearby.
When he is about to throw the buoy to the person, he realizes it’s his personal enemy who had fallen into the water.
So...
A takes back the buoy, watches coldly, and sees the person drown.
In this example, A is a bystander and has no obligation to rescue the drowning person.
A could have helped but did not.
His failure to save the person...
At most, violates moral standards and traditional virtues, but does not constitute a crime by omission.
Omission in law is defined as should act, could act, but did not.
And A’s action legally does not belong to should act.
Therefore.
Even if he discontinued the rescue action, it does not count as a crime.
Similarly.
A has already thrown the life buoy and is about to rescue the person ashore but unexpectedly discovers that the person is a romantic rival.
Then...
In anger, he lets go of the rope.
This behavior...
Requires taking corresponding criminal responsibility, as it is a typical case of failing to save a dying person.
Save to the end, deliver all the way.
If the rescue is interrupted halfway.
Leading to someone’s death, there is a significant causal relationship between the action and the harmful result.
Of course.
A person who understands the law would not make such a small mistake.
Encountering a romantic rival drowning, the identity of the drowning person should first be confirmed.
Then decide whether to rescue, to avoid getting oneself involved.
Even taking a step back.
Even if one recognizes the romantic rival halfway through the rescue, a person who understands the law would pretend to be physically exhausted and powerless to continue the rescue, hence letting go.
In this way...
One does not need to bear any criminal responsibility.
In summary.
Seeing someone unrelated to oneself on the verge of death or in danger, not saving them is not against the law.
If related to oneself...
Then it needs to be weighed carefully.
If you don’t save, you may also commit a crime and need to bear serious criminal responsibility.
"Alright, the explanation of this series of cases ends here, I hope everyone... learns well."
Finally.
Qin Mu looked at the camera, ending the recording of the final episode of the video content.
The three thousand two hundred defendants provided him with rich material, resulting in six videos being made.
A large amount to satisfy.
He believes...
His fans should digest this knowledge shortly.
They will not be eagerly urging for more content.
Immediately.
He turned on the computer and edited the last batch of defendant material into the video.
Two hours later.

Study Law Alliance Forum.
As the trial concluded, the forum became lively.
Many lurking netizens gradually started participating.
Very curious about the subsequent judgment publication.
"Even though the case was tried, not announcing the verdict in court somehow feels lacking."
"It’s impossible to announce the verdict on the spot, more than three thousand two hundred defendants, announcing in court might exhaust the Judgment Chief."
"The might of the ’up’, truly terrifying!"
"The influence of this case is unprecedented, and almost ten defendants are facing twenty-five years in prison!"
"Is Jin City’s prison enough? Will they be assigned back to their hometown after sentencing?"
"..."
In the forum.
The discussion gradually shifted to focusing on Jin City’s judicial strength.
Concerns arose about Jin City’s prison and detention center’s bed space.
Traffic surged.
More and more people joined the discussion, and someone even discovered the recent expansion of two prisons in Jin City.
And soon after.
With the update of Qin Mu’s latest video, the forum’s heat rose again.
"Not saving a dying person?! Learned something new, it can actually turn into a charge of intentional homicide!"
"The ’up’ explained too comprehensively, people online, please do not mimic this."
"Hehe, wasn’t it said before by ’up’ that using counterfeit money for prostitution is not illegal? My friend tried it, and the police didn’t even lecture him but rather let him go obediently!"
"Hiss!! The first in applying what one learns, tomorrow I will take my wife to the zoo to provoke her!"
"Goodness, why did so many outlaws suddenly pop up?"
"..."
Post after post kept appearing.
After thoroughly learning about the elements of failing to rescue and how to avoid it, countless outrageous ideas popped into the netizens’ minds.
They planned to start going through Qin Mu’s previously updated videos.
Learning one by one.
Aiming to apply what they’ve learned.
The legal knowledge Qin Mu spread is very practical, and after applying it, there’s no need to bear any responsibility.
Previously, they followed Qin Mu to study law...
To avoid risks, learn more about the law, and prevent themselves from blindly getting caught one day.
And after learning for so long.
They felt that...
They’ve fully advanced and are ready to start the next phase of "practice courses."
"First step in learning law, deal with your sweetheart first, I’ve decided—I’ll collect the debts from my eight exes during the relationship and sue the current one too!"
"Speaking of not rescuing, last week I went on a business trip with my boss. We happened to encounter a mudslide—I should’ve run off without warning him."
"I’m more interested in domestic violence. If I make my wife hit me, then send her in? Anyone have tips for me?"
"My little brother-in-law was just scammed out of two thousand bucks by a bot organization a couple of days ago. That’s my hard-earned money. Can I report it as fraud and send him in?"
"Why are you all so impressive? Honestly, it’s recommended not to try out these half-baked methods from the ’up’ teachings; you might end up playing yourself."
"..."
In the forum.
Netizens let their imaginations run wild and expressed their opinions freely.
Proposing one "constructive" operation after another.
Some were astonishingly brilliant.
Some were laughably absurd.
Among them were many who were half-baked, only learning the surface, yet eager to show off their operations.
...
Jin City.
Mountain and Water Garden District.
Qin Mu finished washing up and lay down on the bed.
He habitually opened his phone.
Scrolled through Little Station.
Discovered that his followers had unknowingly accumulated to thirteen million.
The latest video...
Also reached over a million views.
The comment section was as usual, mostly sharing feelings.
Then.
He opened the Study Law Alliance Forum, intending to check out the latest activities of the netizens there.
Just happened to see one outrageous idea after another.
"Using counterfeit money for freebies?"
"Taking a hot-tempered wife to the zoo?"
"Thinking of ways to make the wife commit domestic violence?"
Looking at each idea, Qin Mu’s mouth twitched.
He was quite speechless.
He might have...
Explained too thoroughly while popularizing the law.
Actually.
The netizens’ ideas have a high success rate in operation.
However...
If the learning isn’t comprehensive, it’s extremely easy to backfire.
For instance.
Intentionally provoking a wife to make her commit domestic violence, resulting in yourself getting heavily injured.
Though this might send the wife in.
But...
It might also result in oneself being guilty of provoking and causing trouble, with both husband and wife ending up in prison.
Hurting others without gaining anything.
And getting beaten up too.
Smart people usually choose the simplest way, voluntarily handing in their paychecks, cultivating good habits of letting the wife manage the money, and after entirely losing economic freedom on their side...
Gradually gather evidence.
And finally report it to the police.
Winning in one move.
This way...
It’s more unpredictable and unavoidable.
That’s why people who understand the law are more likely to become scum.
In his past life, he heard about a famous lawyer who bought a two-million-dollar house and kept a mistress outside.
After having enough fun...
He had his legitimate wife sue the mistress for unjust enrichment, demanding the house back and repayment of the "gift expenses" during that time.
Because the house belonged to the marital property, keeping a mistress was neither legal nor compliant, the law did not support it.
Ultimately.
The mistress ended up with nothing, not only missing out on money and the house...
But also almost being sent in for not being able to repay the money.
This is the prowess of those adept in law—they can set traps everywhere, unavoidable.
Ordinary people...
Are advised not to deal with those big lawyers; otherwise, they might not even know how they died.
Qin Mu lay in bed, swiped through the forum for a while.
Then exited.
Stretched lazily.
Feeling very relaxed.
This case had lasted for over two weeks and finally ended.
In the days to come...
He could once again enjoy a leisurely time of slacking off.
After all, the [Catch Every Fish] skill hasn’t activated, so for a short period, he won’t encounter anything in Jin City.
