Zizhou.

A high-end residential complex.

Midnight.

Qing Lan was live streaming in her study. The house she was currently in had been purchased with the compensation money she received. It was in a high-end, fully-furnished residential complex, priced similarly to her original one. She had paid in full, and it was move-in ready.

Ever since the load-bearing wall incident, she had clearly noticed a slight improvement in the attitude of her viewers. They used to be very harsh, picking on her for no reason. Now, however, they had started to tease her in more roundabout ways.

"Streamer, with your skills, you might as well say goodbye to gaming. My eighty-year-old grandma could play better than you."

"Yeah, well, not everyone can manage a 0-8-0 record, after all."

"What nonsense are you all talking about? If I scattered a handful of rice on my phone, even chickens would play better than the streamer."

"If I just smeared some oil on my phone screen, a dog could probably go godlike..."

"..."

Qing Lan stared at the game results screen, her pretty face flushed red with anger. The match had lasted fifteen minutes. Her teammates had directly voted to surrender—four voted yes. Only she, with her stubborn Bronze-rank pride, had voted no. But with an absolute four-to-one voting advantage against her, her "no" was futile. The match ended abruptly.

These four teammates, both in and out of the game, had tried to communicate with her amicably throughout. However, she couldn't understand a single word they typed, as it was all censored with asterisks.

"That was just a warm-up! Let's go for another round!" Watching the barrage of subtly insulting comments in her live chat, she took a deep breath. It only took her three seconds to compose herself after nearly losing her cool. She immediately clicked to start the next game.

"Here we go, time to randomly select four new victims!"

"I wonder which four lucky ones will have their ancestors smiling down on them, getting chosen by Sister Lan."

"Anyone trying to snipe the streamer?"

"Who would dare? Being on the opposing team is an easy win, but being on her team? That's pure torture!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that the uploader posted an update?"

"..."

The barrage of comments flooded the entire screen. These days, thanks to Qin Mu, her live stream's popularity had been steadily increasing. In just one month, her follower growth had surpassed that of the previous six months.

The uploader posted an update? She blinked and quickly clicked on Qin Mu's account to check. Unlike other fans, she was in the know. These past few days, Qin Mu had indeed been busy with a lawsuit.

She clicked on the video. Qin Mu immediately got straight to the point, explaining its content.

Won seven million? Qing Lan swallowed hard. That opening was like a critical hit! This Qin Mu's luck is just too heaven-defying, isn't it? Seven million! How many lifetimes of good fortune would that consume?

Next, the lottery shop owner's actions also infuriated her. But having someone else buy a lottery ticket... such problems can indeed arise. The other party was a complete stranger, and money certainly stirs the heart, especially a huge sum like seven million!

Then, Qin Mu went to the shop. His arguments were fruitless, so he decisively called the police, but they didn't take the case.

For dispute cases, the police can at most mediate... She smiled wryly and shook her head. She had encountered similar situations before. For instance, her neighbor's child used to cry all night. Once, unable to bear it any longer, she called the police to report a disturbance, which resulted in a formal mediation. Cases that aren't serious or lack concrete evidence generally aren't accepted for official filing. This case... it's like reporting someone for owing money; it can only be settled privately.

Afterward, Qin Mu appeared in the video, carefully analyzing the case. He explained the legal actions that could be taken: if the other party committed illegal acts and one's own side lacked solid evidence, one could sue in court and request the prosecutor's office to help obtain evidence. He then detailed the court process where a civil case could turn criminal, followed by the case's final verdict. The judgment directly ordered the other party to return the embezzled 7.27 million in cash!

Even the taxes were waived? Qing Lan swallowed hard, somewhat shocked. She had assumed that, at most, the judgment would require the return of the after-tax prize money. She hadn't expected it to be the pre-tax amount! This means the other party ended up paying Qin Mu's taxes for him.

"Wait a minute!" At the same time, she keenly spotted an issue and muttered to herself, "Qin Mu said the other party committed multiple counts of larceny. Does that mean every lottery ticket he bought before also won?"

The 7.27 million in prize money included not only the first prize but also a second prize, as well as various assorted third and fourth prizes! For a moment, she was speechless at Qin Mu's luck.

Meanwhile, in the live stream chat, her audience had also finished watching the latest video and were no less shocked than she was.

"Learned something new, learned something new! The returned prize money can be pre-tax? Another fun fact learned!"

"'Chance-based actions,' 'contracts without responsibility,' 'anonymity'—this is the first time I'm hearing these professional terms."

"'One person's completed offense means all are completed offenders'—so many learning points! That guy's brother-in-law is a world-class saboteur!"

"But speaking of which, the uploader's luck is too heaven-defying! Multiple embezzlements... how many times must he have won?"

"If I had the uploader's luck, wouldn't I pull an SSR every gacha roll?"

"..."

Comments erupted wildly, flooding the screen like a tidal wave. From this video, they had learned a fair bit about legal matters. Of course, most of them were simply filled with amazement.

In the final part of the video, Qin Mu specifically addressed those knowledgeable about the law: "An ignorant person breaking the law isn't frightening, because the law can sanction them, punishing evil and promoting good, ensuring that actions have consequences. But for those who understand the law..."
