Chapter 268: Chapter 120 Why Can't We Mediate When We've Both Apologized!_3
Even though this is the persona you've set up, you didn't have to send someone to jail.
Chi Yan immediately started typing, "I reckon it's just this account spouting off unilateral messages, and you all just take sides? Haven't you learned anything from your time online to let the bullet fly for a while?"
It's always like this, even after countless twists, as soon as a 'mini essay' is posted, there are always netizens who believe it.
Soon someone retorted, "You're not the person involved, how do you know this isn't true?"
That comment nearly choked Chi Yan to death, her eyes popping, she really wanted to hit someone!
As time went on, the fervor only grew, with arguments erupting everywhere.
Some people felt that since the other party had apologized, there was no need to press criminal charges, to not only ruin a life but also hold a grudge, it truly was unnecessary.
Others believed that if apologies were useful, then what was the point of having laws, why even have the option of private prosecution if apologies sufficed?
The two viewpoints clashed incessantly.
However, there were those who were sensible, who questioned, if your son really did nothing wrong, then why could the other side file a private prosecution?
In such an atmosphere, Old Tang, who was comfortably lounging on a massage chair, was startled awake by his ringing phone.
He checked and it was actually a call from Chi Yan, wondering what this girl wanted.
But since they had a good relationship, and she was the woman who had once... catheterized him.
"Hello, Chi Yan? Ah? My public opinion is stirring up online again? Okay, I'll check it out."
After hanging up, Old Tang rubbed his eyes and started checking his phone, wondering why there was public opinion controversy yet again.
When he saw the messages, Old Tang couldn't hold back.
What do you mean by they've already apologized... Could that attitude of Yu Erming even count as an apology?
After some thought, Old Tang sat down at his desk, it had been a long time since he posted any videos, to the point some people might have forgotten how he first became famous.
Since the other side had posted the private prosecution document online, then bring it on, dogs don't cower!
He began working on a video, with the dashcam footage, faces pixelated, followed by the administrative penalties and so on.
"I see a lot of people tagging me for an explanation, so I'll just give you one, the incident itself isn't serious, look, the other party tried to cut in forcefully, my client didn't allow it, there was a scratch, definitely a traffic accident, but the other party wouldn't admit her son was entirely at fault."
"Next, her son gets out of the car and starts cursing, believing he had the right to cut in, my client argued back and the other party immediately turned violent."
"My client fought back, and eventually the police intervened, determining it was a fight, we went through administrative litigation and it was finally ruled as self-defense, leading to the private prosecution…"
"Alright, now the other side says her son apologized, yes, during the first court mediation, he barely said sorry before immediately threatening to kill me and my client once he got out, is that what you call an apology?"
"My client is now scared to even go out, leaving all matters to me, so I want to ask, after what happened before, and another apology, do you think we should accept it?"
Old Tang simply disdains to engage in public opinion wars, but that doesn't mean he can't play the game.
Not to mention avoiding the critical points, hiding key information, and acting like he's very wronged.
Always thinking about relying on public opinion to help, so let public opinion discern right from wrong then.
The video wasn't long, only about a minute or two in length.
After careful consideration, Old Tang added the title: Forcefully cut in and turned violent, does this person deserve forgiveness?
He clicked upload, and about ten minutes later, after review, the video appeared on his account.
Online, who knows how many were watching Old Tang's account, eager to be the first to hear his response.
And as soon as the video was released, many clicked right in.
The video was clear and to the point, and let's be honest, the kind of person who forcefully tries to cut in line and then becomes violent irritates many.
"What the hell? Forcefully cutting in, a scratch occurs, they curse and then get violent, and this is called a simple traffic accident? Our language is indeed profound!"
"Right? So bold and aggressive, deserves to be beaten at every sighting, and even talking about killing people? If they're so badass, why are they now begging for mediation?"
"Why even mediate this, just sentence them directly, what a joke!"
Wu Xiaozhen could not imagine how quickly the situation had reversed, or rather, she simply did not realize just how detestable her son's actions were to people.
People usually prefer a peaceful life, and what they hate the most are those who seek trouble, who curse and become violent at the drop of a hat, all outrageously bold.
Now seeing this kind of person facing punishment, they would only cheer on.
Those earlier comments about 'showing mercy where you can' started getting tagged, asking them if they would be willing to forgive if they were in the situation?
In such a case, those people quietly deleted their comments, they had no choice; they were nearly blasted through like a sieve.
At home, Wu Xiaozhen's face began to darken as she read the online comments, because netizens were leaving messages "recommend execution by shooting"!
Online, no one discusses the law with you, it's said that all cyber diagnoses start with cancer.
Indeed, online verdicts also start with the death penalty.
Luckily, she had hidden the key information in the self-prosecution document, otherwise her phone would have blown up by now.
But her private messages were already unmanageable.

Hu Xinqin was getting ready to leave, she had already contacted the community center of Yuefu Residential Complex and the nearby police station, preparing to pay a visit to Tang Fangjing together, to see how exactly to mediate this issue.
