Chapter 935 - 391: Frustrated Security Captain
So.
Even though Old Zhang and the others couldn’t sit in and listen on the spot, they could still watch the live broadcast.
"That’s good then. Xiao Qin, we believe in your strength. So what if they’re the top lawyers in the country? Send them all packing!"
Everyone looked at Qin Mu and went on excitedly.
Qin Mu gave a wry smile, then said solemnly, "This mock trial is different from the previous ones. The opponents... are very strong."
The system had already given such a clear prompt.
That was enough to show how strong those opponents were.
With his current grasp of legal provisions, there really was a chance he might capsize in a gutter.
"That strong?"
Old Zhang and the others exchanged a look, their expressions turning serious as well.
They didn’t have a clear concept of different lawyers’ levels; they only knew that Qin Mu was the most awesome lawyer they’d ever seen.
But now...
Even Qin Mu was this wary of those lawyers, which meant the country was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
"Right, didn’t you say this mock trial was ranked by region? You can go look for other lawyers from Jin City, form a team. Zhang Wei is pretty good."
Li Weiguo blinked and suddenly offered a suggestion.
When Qin Mu heard this.
His expression brightened slightly.
He had never thought of Mr. Li’s suggestion.
Besides him...
There should be other lawyers from Jin City who had received invitation letters.
If his teammate was Zhang Wei, he would feel even more confident.
Thinking of this.
He took out his phone and sent Zhang Wei a message, asking about the situation.
...
At the same time.
Legal Pioneer Law Firm.
Office.
Zhang Wei was leaning back in his office chair, rubbing his forehead with a tired face.
As his practice got bigger, he had more and more to do.
He was busy like a dog every day.
Basically no time to rest.
"Huh?"
He finally had a rare free moment, and suddenly noticed that Qin Mu had sent him a message.
Asking him about the National Lawyers Exchange Conference.
"Qin Mu... also got an invitation letter?"
His eyes widened, and he showed a look of disbelief.
As a veteran lawyer.
He was very clear on how much weight the National Lawyers Exchange Conference carried.
Only top-tier gold medal lawyers could get in.
So many sessions had been held, and there had never been a case of a trainee lawyer participating.
Looks like...
He had still underestimated how much importance the Bar Association placed on Qin Mu; they actually made an exception for him.
"But that’s good too. With Qin Mu there... our Jin City’s ranking this year can be bumped up a bit!"
He took a deep breath, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He had already asked the other lawyers in Jin City.
This year, aside from him, no one else had received an invitation.
Which meant.
For this year’s conference, only he and Qin Mu would be attending.
However...
Having been Qin Mu’s opponent for so long.
He knew Qin Mu’s strength very well. Qin Mu alone was worth an army of thousands!
All he needed to do was cling tightly to that thigh.
As for the rest...
Leave everything to Qin Mu.
Suddenly.
He remembered something and couldn’t help sending another message: "Oh, right, I heard people in Jin City say... you’ve got a terminal illness. Is that true or not?"
This matter...
Had suddenly started circulating last night.
It was being talked about all over Jin City, in an uproar.
Sounded very serious.
It had given even him quite a scare.
...
Jin City.
In the nursing home.
Qin Mu looked at the message from Zhang Wei, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He explained it once again.
The rumor had spread too fast; in just one night, everyone knew.
He didn’t even know how many times he’d had to explain the same thing.
"Even though I’ve got a teammate now, I still can’t slack off."
Then.
He put down his phone and turned his gaze back to the computer screen.
He silently opened the legal provisions, judicial interpretations, and related cases he had downloaded in various fields.
A full 3000G of electronic files.
"Activate [Photographic Memory]."
He silently recited this in his heart, then started reading at lightning speed.
Like a scanner.
He swept over the words on the screen.
Studying like crazy.
Three hours later.
He finally finished learning all the legal provisions in the field of the Agricultural Law and had them down pat.
Then...
He continued frantically going through the Road Traffic Law.
This scene...
If anyone else saw it, they would definitely be stunned.
What would take an ordinary person years to learn, Qin Mu finished in just a few hours.
...
Time slowly passed.
A week later.
The rumors that had been spreading like wildfire...
finally dissipated.
At first.
People from all walks of life in Jin City were about to set off firecrackers and celebrate.
Then all of a sudden, they all lowered their flags and put away their drums.
Because they realized Qin Mu was still alive and kicking.
He’d stroll around near the nursing home whenever he had nothing to do.
When people from convenience stores, corner shops, supermarkets, pharmacies, lottery shops, and real estate agencies saw Qin Mu...
they were almost scared to the point their hearts trembled.
Furious, they started cursing in their industry group chats.
"Who the hell started that rumor? Isn’t the Qin Plague God alive and well?"
"You guys really have a death wish, huh? You actually dare spread rumors about the Qin Disaster Star. Is it because the outside world is too free and you want to go inside for some prison food?"
"I was saying the sky over Jin City had finally brightened, didn’t expect I was happy for nothing."
"Those who spread the rumors, just wait to receive the Qin Plague God’s complaint!"
"Jin City... is about to be a mess again."
"..."
Once they discovered Qin Mu was really bouncing around alive.
The people who had taken part in spreading the rumor instantly lost their composure.
The fear of being under Qin Mu’s thumb...
surfaced in their hearts again.
No one doubted whether Qin Mu would actually do it.
Qin Mu had long since proven with real actions that anyone who offended him never had a good end.
At the start.
They all thought it was true, so they spread it everywhere.
After all, spreading the truth isn’t against the law.
Who the hell knew it would actually turn out to be a rumor!
The previous fifteen thousand defendants had been sent in just like that.
For a time.
Panic spread through the whole of Jin City.
The people who had taken part in spreading the rumor couldn’t sit still anymore and rushed to visit the nearest law firms.
They asked about what serious consequences there were for spreading news of someone’s death.
As a result, law firms that were originally deserted...
suddenly became packed with people.
"I’m screwed, I’m screwed. I just went to ask a lawyer, he said I’m beyond saving and told me to go home and wait for death. What am I supposed to do?"
"Don’t panic, my uncle’s a lawyer. He just told me that if no big financial loss was caused, you just need to offer compensation and apologize."
"Guys, if you know what’s good for you, hurry and buy some gifts and go apologize to the Disaster Star."
"This is the last chance. If you still don’t apologize, the next wave might be court summons!"
"What was Qin Plague God’s address again?"
"..."
The more they thought about it, the more terrified the rumor-mongers became.
They were afraid they’d become the next defendants.
The ones who had forwarded the rumor were even more scared out of their wits, rushing overnight to buy gifts.
They wrote out an apology.
Signed their real names.
And sent it all to a certain nursing home.
...
Nursing home.
Deputy director’s office.
"Dean Wan, something big’s happened!"
The administrative director rushed into the office, panting and drenched in sweat.
Wan Zhongyuan looked up and frowned.
He was a bit displeased: "If something’s up, say it slowly. Why are you so jumpy?"
"I don’t know what’s going on, but a whole bunch of people suddenly showed up outside our nursing home, saying they were here to deliver gifts and apologize. They drop the stuff and leave... Now the security room is piled full of gifts, there’s almost no space left..."
The administrative director swallowed and reported truthfully.
"Delivering gifts?"
Wan Zhongyuan raised his eyebrows, not quite believing it: "How many people could be bringing gifts that the security room can’t even hold them?"
"You’d... better go see for yourself."
The administrative director let out a bitter smile.
He led Wan Zhongyuan out of the office and over to the nursing home’s main gate.
Then...
they saw an absolutely shocking scene.
They saw that outside the gate was already a sea of people, a dense crowd as far as the eye could see.
Yet it somehow gave off a sense of orderliness and discipline.
Everyone was obediently standing outside the gate, lined up in three long queues.
Stretching out from the entrance...
forming a dragon-like line dozens of meters long.
And.
In these people’s hands...
they were all carrying various gifts, each still holding a letter.
At the same time.
The security guards who were supposed to be in charge of monitoring entry and exit had suddenly turned into intake clerks, constantly taking in gifts.
The security room was already crammed full of all sorts of dazzling gifts, so they had no choice but to stack them temporarily in the corridor.
"Who... who exactly are these people?"
Wan Zhongyuan’s face was full of shock as he couldn’t help looking at the security captain next to him.
The security captain sighed and said, aggrieved, "Isn’t it all because of Qin Mu? These people are all here to offer him gifts and apologize."
Being a security guard used to be a pretty laid-back job.
But because of Qin Mu...
he and the guards under him had been run ragged.
They’d been busy for over an hour without a break.
And the ’gift-giving line’ outside the gate...
stretched out as far as the eye could see.
It hadn’t shrunk at all.
Word was there was still a big group of people on their way.
"They’re... apologizing to Qin Mu??"
Wan Zhongyuan’s eyes went wide, his face full of disbelief.
These people...
Just what on earth had they done to offend Qin Mu?
