"Additionally, the deceased's name is Xia Yuan. His family... they're unwilling to accept mediation and just caused a scene. Remember to be careful and avoid any conflict." After these brief instructions, Shen Dao hung up the phone.

Qin Mu frowned upon hearing this.

The relevant authorities had already determined there would be no criminal charges in this case. But the family... that was an ongoing issue. Their loved one had died, and it was natural they couldn't accept it immediately. He could sympathize; it would all come down to the upcoming civil compensation negotiations.

「Meanwhile.」

In Jin City, in a certain residential complex.

"No way!"

"We absolutely cannot let this go!"

"My son was killed because of them, and the police haven't arrested anyone involved. I won't accept this!"

A middle-aged woman, her eyes red and swollen from crying, trembled with anger.

"My son was only twenty-seven years old!"

"If they hadn't chased him, how would my son have died like this?"

"Negotiate compensation? What good is compensation? And they dare tell me my son bore the primary responsibility, so the compensation is minimal?"

"Qingqing, you went to university, is there any way you can help seek justice for your brother? Your brother can't have died in vain..."

The middle-aged woman wept as she turned to her daughter, Xia Qingqing, beside her.

Her name was Yuan Cui Lian.

She was a local resident of Jin City.

After hearing the police report, she had cried all night.

But the next day...

The police said everyone involved had been released.

The three people who chased her son, the driver responsible for the accident—not a single one of them was arrested!

They even urged her to be calm.

How could she possibly stay calm when something like this had happened?

Xia Qingqing also appeared very indignant. "I just looked online, and it's full of praise for the other party's heroic actions, with very few people sympathizing with my brother." She couldn't understand it at all.

She had tried to defend her brother in the comments sections of several news articles but was lambasted by netizens, who accused her of having warped values.

"I think these netizens might not know the truth. We should record a video detailing our grievances and post it across the entire internet, on every platform. That's bound to get attention!"

After some thought, Xia Qingqing suggested to Yuan Cui Lian, "Also, as for those people who chased my brother, we can sue them in court!"

"We can pursue criminal charges against them and make them pay appropriate compensation!"

Yuan Cui Lian choked back a few sobs.

With a grief-stricken expression, she asked, "Can that... really work?"

Xia Qingqing nodded. "It should. This is the internet age; we need to make sure more people see the truth. My brother can't have just died in vain!"

She still believed that the people of Jin City didn't speak up for them only because they didn't know the truth. She hadn't once considered her own role in the situation.

Afterward, she picked up her phone and started recording the video.

As the video began, Yuan Cui Lian kept her head down, crying the entire time.

Her swollen eyes and haggard face would instantly evoke sympathy in any viewer.

Speaking as a grieving mother, she sorrowfully recounted the incident, describing the profound despair of a mother who had lost her son.

During editing, they even inserted childhood photos of Xia Yuan, all depicting him as sunny and bright.

"I don't know why my son would resort to robbery, but I believe my son definitely wouldn't do such a thing without a reason!"

"All I want now is for those who caused my son's death to pay the price!"

"They're still at large, completely unscathed..."

Once the video was recorded, Xia Qingqing quickly uploaded it to various online platforms.

She also asked her friends to help share and disseminate it.

After doing all this, they went to find a lawyer, intending to sue the three people who had pursued Xia Yuan, as well as the driver responsible for the accident.

「At the nursing home.」

After receiving Shen Dao's call, Qin Mu was on guard against another uninvited visit.

Last time, Yang Minghui and her group had barged into the nursing home and all but pointed fingers at Mr. Li, berating him.

Thankfully, this time, the other party wasn't so irrational.

They didn't come to the nursing home.

But...

In the evening, he suddenly received a message from Qing Lan.

"Up, someone on Little Station made a video about your act of heroism. The other party is making accusations and says they're going to sue you!"

A video link was attached to the message.

Qin Mu frowned and clicked the link to open the video.

The video, posted on a certain popular site, had already garnered several hundred thousand views, and its viewership was climbing steadily.

The title of the video was extremely eye-catching:

"Four People Caused My Son's Death, Yet They Remain At Large—I Demand Justice!"

When he played it, a woman identifying herself as the victim's mother appeared on screen.

With swollen eyes and a gaunt appearance, she wept throughout. Then, voice choked with tears, she recounted the incident, leveling her accusations.

The video content didn't hide the facts of the incident. However, her words made it clear she utterly refused to believe her son would commit robbery.

She relentlessly demanded that the four individuals be held accountable, not even sparing Bai Xuelan, the victim of the robbery.

"I don't know why my son would resort to robbery, but I believe my son definitely wouldn't do such a thing without a reason!"

"All I want now is to get justice for my son..."

According to her logic, if Bai Xuelan hadn't screamed, her son wouldn't have fled, passersby wouldn't have given chase, and consequently, he wouldn't have been struck by the driver at that precise moment.

The video also interspersed clips recorded by netizens at the scene with Xia Yuan's childhood photos, all calculated to evoke sympathy.

Seeing this, Qin Mu's expression darkened.
