"But now..."

The voice in the video continued, "Helping others requires considering the consequences. One has to worry about being blackmailed or even sued! For example, in this incident, besides the Uploader, there was another righteous middle-aged man who stepped forward..."

Immediately following, the video's narration succinctly described Liang Chengbin's family situation. In that context, Liang Chengbin still hadn't overthought it and had decisively given chase. This was something Qin Mu found quite admirable.

"Now, like the Uploader, he too has been sued, and we're actively responding to the lawsuit. After the case is settled, the Uploader will inform everyone of the outcome in the next video."

The video reached this point, and the recording was also nearly finished.

As for suing the netizens who had slandered him across the entire internet... he didn't mention it in the video, mainly because he was worried about tipping them off.

To achieve great things, one must endure solitude. There were still a few days left for things to ferment. Among the vast army of trolls, some new 'stars' would undoubtedly distinguish themselves. Once he had saved enough money, he wouldn't let a single one of them off the hook!

After the video recording was finished, he imported it onto his computer, adding some supporting footage, as well as copies of the summons and complaints. It took him over an hour to produce the first video installment covering this incident. He then posted it on a certain website.

As for other platforms... he currently had no intention of posting it there. He wasn't aiming for fame; rather, he wanted to use his platform to spread positive energy, promote legal literacy, and teach some simple methods for defending one's rights.

"Is it half-past nine?"

After uploading the video, Qin Mu turned on the TV. Once the lottery results were announced, he took out his 500 different lottery tickets and began checking them.

"Second prize."

"Second prize."

"Third prize."

"Fifth prize."

"Third prize."

After checking all 500 lottery tickets, he found that the win rate wasn't much different from before. A total of 471 tickets were winners, leaving only 29 duds. The others, at the very least, won a sixth prize.

To his surprise... despite buying so many tickets this time, not a single one won the first prize. However, there were more than twenty second-prize tickets.

After adding up all the prize money: "Seven million, eight hundred twenty thousand!"

Qin Mu took a deep breath, somewhat excited.

Indeed, having a cheat ability really makes a difference. Looking at the pile of winning tickets before him gave him an indescribable feeling!

Counting his previous purchase, his total winnings amounted to nearly 11,000,000. The only fly in the ointment was that this time, he wasn't exempt from taxes and had to bear the 20% levy himself. After deductions, he would have about nine million in hand.

Including the money Qing Lan had loaned him and his own previous savings... he already had over 20,000,000.

Needless to say, this was a huge sum!

But what excited him even more was that he now had the funds for the lawsuits! Because the targets of his lawsuits this time were all unrelated entities with different circumstances, each case would need to be tried and judged separately. His litigation costs... were also frighteningly high.

I'll need to take a trip to the province after meeting with Lawyer Zhang tomorrow. Qin Mu took another deep breath. He carefully put away the 660 winning tickets he had accumulated, storing them properly. First and second prizes had to be claimed in the provincial capital; local lottery centers weren't authorized to issue such large rewards.

「The next day.」

Qin Mu took leave yet again. His reason for leave, entered on DingTalk, was particularly solid: "Recently entangled in a homicide case."

Not ten minutes later, it went from the head of the nursing department to HR, then to the Deputy Director, and finally to the Director—passing through each level of approval seamlessly. Deputy Director Wan Zhongyuan even replied with concern: "Don't worry about work, just focus on the lawsuit."

Seeing the message on his phone, Qin Mu's mouth twitched. My 'Outstanding Employee' award... I think he was the one who pushed for it against everyone else's opinion.

After successfully taking leave, he arrived at Zhang Wei's law firm by ten in the morning. Bai Xuelan, Liang Chengbin, and Hua Li also arrived soon after.

"Mr. Qin, about this matter... what do you think we should do?" Bai Xuelan and Hua Li quickly approached Qin Mu as soon as they saw him. "Weren't we told we bore no responsibility? How did it escalate to criminal charges and a demand for 1,580,000 in compensation?"

Both of them looked haggard; these past few days hadn't been easy for them either. Online harassment had also affected them, and the court summons, in particular, had left them somewhat at a loss.

Liang Chengbin also looked up, his gaze carrying a hint of hope as he looked at Qin Mu.

"Everyone, don't worry for now," Qin Mu said with a smile, reassuring the three of them. Then he walked over to Zhang Wei and introduced him. "This is Zhang Wei, the lawyer who will defend us. We won't lose this case."

But upon hearing this, Bai Xuelan became even more unsettled. She eyed Zhang Wei suspiciously and said hesitantly, "When I was coming here, I looked up this law firm. Online, everyone says... this firm's specialty is sentence reduction."

In Jin City, this law firm was quite renowned. It was said they had handled many sentence reduction cases and were highly skilled and professional.

But... there were also numerous negative reviews. It was rumored that in quite a few cases he defended, the sentences were actually extended by several years.

"Mr. Qin, maybe... we should switch to a different firm?" Hua Li suggested, petrified, after hearing Bai Xuelan's account.

Even Liang Chengbin swallowed nervously, involuntarily looking towards Qin Mu. They were worried that with Zhang Wei defending them... they might walk into the courtroom with a straightforward case, only for it to be completely botched.
