Too Bad I Take Things Seriously-Chapter 485 - 204: The Big TV Series ’Borrowing Money’_2

Generally speaking, courts won’t meddle in extra matters unless there is a specific legal claim raised. In civil litigation, the principle of "no action by the people, no prosecution by the government" applies. Therefore, the court only ruled that the transfer of assets was illegal; it did not redistribute the assets. Of course, based on this judgment, Meng Lei could easily win if he were to file another civil lawsuit, provided he has enough money to hire a lawyer to initiate it.

"Sue another inmate while in prison?"

Zhang Qingyuan and others became excited again after hearing this. This plot seemed to be getting exciting once more, like a teaser for the next installment.

"Doesn’t that mean we can see this young man again?"

"Do prisoners get wages? I hope Meng Lei can save up enough money soon and then sue Tian Shulan."

"Xiao Qin, if there’s any news about the next case, you must remember to notify us."

"Looking forward to Meng Lei’s next live broadcast!"

For a moment, Zhang Qingyuan and others surrounded Qin Mu, their faces full of anticipation, desperately hoping Meng Lei would make a triumphant return and reappear on the "screen."

Qin Mu looked at the elders whose discussions were getting increasingly bizarre. Several black lines appeared on his forehead. Other people chase celebrities, but Zhang Qingyuan and his group are something else—they chase criminals! Unbelievably, they’re even hoping Meng Lei will reappear on screen!

"COUGH COUGH. If Meng Lei sues, remember to inform me too."

From within the crowd, Wan Zhongyuan gave a dry cough and also looked towards Qin Mu. Clearly, just like the other elders, he, the deputy director, had also been captivated by Meng Lei’s "personal charm" and had become a "loyal fan."

Qin Mu was speechless.

On the outskirts of the crowd, a few middle-aged individuals watched the elderly folks chatting, their expressions somewhat peculiar. The live broadcast of this trial was indeed thrilling and exciting. An eighteen yuan lawsuit had actually resulted in a combined twenty-five years of imprisonment! The man received a fourteen-year sentence, and the woman an eleven-year sentence.

In fact, before coming to this nursing home, they had all looked into other institutions to find a suitable one for their parents who lived alone. But no other institution could compare to this one. Here, the elders gathered happily, laughing and talking, collectively watching the court trial, and enjoying the excitement. Their smiles and overall demeanor were noticeably more cheerful and relaxed, no longer listless and subdued. It even gave the observers a sense that the residents were experiencing a new lease on life. Standing on the periphery, the middle-aged visitors clearly felt this vibrant atmosphere.

"Everyone, the trial has concluded. Shall we... go and learn more about the facility? The dormitories, the canteen, the reading room..." a nursing home staff member responsible for introductions reminded them from the side.

The middle-aged individuals exchanged a look and shook their heads. Then, with a clear unspoken agreement, one of them said, "No need. We’ll go with your nursing home."

The staff member was taken aback, clearly not expecting this outcome, and couldn’t help asking, "Are you sure? You don’t need to think it over?"

"No need to consider it any further," one of the middle-aged men smiled, pointing to an elderly man in the courtyard who was mingling and chatting happily with others. He remarked emotionally, "Since my mom passed away, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen my dad smile so happily."

「In the college alumni chat group.」

After the judgment was delivered, the entire group chat erupted into a flurry of excitement.

"Finally, the verdict is out! This is a cause for universal celebration, truly wonderful news!"

"The judgment mentions confiscating assets and recovering them progressively. Doesn’t that mean I can get back the money I lent out?"

"The money itself doesn’t matter; who’s really short of that amount? As long as those two are locked up, that’s all that counts."

"It seems they can’t be detained together. It’ll probably be difficult for them to see each other in the future."

"Is there a possibility that they never want to see each other again for the rest of their lives?"

Listening to the lengthy judgment, everyone felt a wave of elation. The burden that had weighed on their hearts for years silently lifted at that moment. The people who refused to pay back borrowed money had finally received the punishment they deserved.

Furthermore, Ma Ming’s MVP-worthy performance in court made them realize the importance of understanding the law. This time, if it hadn’t been for Ma Ming’s insistence on suing, traveling alone to Yangcheng, Meng Lei might still be at large, and the money they had lent would most likely have come to nothing.

"@everyone, I found a gathering place for fans of our favorite content creator, called the Study Law Alliance Forum."

"I know that forum too! It’s full of talented people. You can check it out when you have time; you can learn a lot."

"There’s a forum like that? No wonder the comment section under the content creator’s videos is so clean. So the fans have all been hiding there!"

"We have to hide! The content creator has cracked down on the comment section before."

"After joining the forum, remember to keep it a secret! Don’t let the content creator find out, or we’re toast!"

In the alumni group, someone posted a link to the forum, and people joined one after another.

This forum gathered a massive pool of talent and was divided into three major sections. These three sections generally kept to themselves, yet each tended to look down on the others. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Soul Cleansing Zone was where members devoted themselves to studying poetry, maxims, and other literary works.

The Rebirth Zone teemed with jokesters and witty comments.

The Study Law Zone featured daily discussions of various bizarre cases, analyzing their key legal points.

「Meanwhile, outside the Yangcheng Court.」

Ma Ming had just concluded his case and was walking out of the courthouse side by side with Shi Liangping, having repeatedly rejected Shi Liangping’s "invitation to switch careers." He turned on his phone and happened to see the discussion in the alumni group.
