Five minutes later, Qin Mu had listened to the entire account of events. He smiled slightly and, speaking into the phone, said, "Xiao Chen, don't panic. Just make another police report."

The behavior of Chen Daoguang and the others... can only be described as courting death. To think they'd dare commit illegal acts again, having just been released from detention. They probably thought it was fine as long as they didn't enter the house... But in reality, gathering a crowd to create a disturbance is, in itself, picking quarrels and provoking trouble. The greater the impact, the more serious its nature. From Chen Zishi's description, this incident was even more severe than the one at the wedding. Chen Daoguang and his group gathered seventy to eighty people, brought stools, and were now blocking the entrance to Chen Zishi's house. The entire village had heard about it. With so many onlookers, the impact was extremely negative.

"Additionally, when you report to the police, remember to specify the crimes committed by the other party." Subsequently, Qin Mu taught Chen Zishi some police reporting techniques over the phone. Everything requires a certain technique, and reporting to the police is no different. Some officers aren't very knowledgeable about case filing regulations, so they sometimes opt for smoothing things over. But as long as the complainant insists, a case that should be filed must be filed. "If they refuse to file a case, then dial this number right in front of them." Finally, Qin Mu also gave Chen Zishi a public complaint number. If one encounters improper enforcement and has evidence to prove the law enforcement personnel are mishandling the situation, a resolute complaint can be made. This kind of feedback is usually dealt with very promptly, and the law enforcement personnel involved will bear the consequences of their incorrect enforcement.

「Meanwhile.」

「Chen Family Village.」

In the courtyard of the Chen family, Chen Zishi put down his phone, his expression somewhat peculiar. Just now on the phone, Qin Mu had personally taught him a method to get Chen Daoguang and the others sent back to detention. He had even figured out how to respond if the police didn't accept the case.

"Son, how is it? What did Uncle Qin say?" Seeing his son's reaction, Chen Qi quickly looked up and inquired, his face etched with anxiety.

His house was now completely surrounded. Indeed, surrounded in every sense of the word. Chen Daoguang had gathered a large group of relatives also surnamed Chen from the village, and they had blocked all three of their gates. Seventy to eighty people were sitting outside on stools, pretending to chat. Every time they tried to go out, they would be rebuffed with various excuses and prevented from leaving at all.

With no other option, he could only have his son, Chen Zishi, call Qin Mu for advice. The scene at the agritourism a few days ago was deeply imprinted in his memory. Song Yun's agritourism had now practically become a forbidden zone in Chen Family Village. Even the most brazen villagers dared not cause trouble there. Although Qin Mu had left, his deterrent effect lingered.

Chen Zishi put down his phone. Recalling the techniques Qin Mu had shared, he gave a wry smile. "Uncle Qin told us to call the police."

"Call the police?" Chen Qi looked bewildered. "Last time, they were arrested for smashing the door and causing trouble, but they were only detained for three days. This time, they haven't done anything. Will calling the police even be useful?" Last time at the agritourism, Chen Daoguang and thirteen others had all been sent to detention after Qin Mu reported them. But they were released after only three days. In his view, such police reports were useless; they only solved the immediate problem without addressing the root cause.

"The reason they were only detained for three days last time was mainly because Uncle Song chose to forgive them," Chen Zishi patiently explained to his father. "If Uncle Song hadn't forgiven them, they could have been imprisoned for several years." His father hadn't understood Qin Mu's explanation at the time, but he had. Because the incident happened at the agritourism, Song Yun had the right to grant forgiveness. If the victim forgives the perpetrators, the matter is considered much less severe—far from the gravity of picking quarrels, provoking trouble, or illegal intrusion. That's why they were simply sentenced to three days of detention and a 2,000 yuan fine. If Song Yun hadn't forgiven them and had insisted on holding them accountable, the situation would have been deemed far more serious, with a sentencing range of up to three years. They definitely wouldn't have been released after just three days' detention.

"I see..." Chen Qi said, a look of realization dawning on him. He paused, then asked again, "But last time, it was serious because they smashed the door and invaded the agritourism with wooden sticks. What about this time?"

This time, Chen Daoguang and the others had obviously learned their lesson. They just brought stools, sat by the doorway, and pretended to chat. They even brought a coffin and placed it blocking the main entrance.

"This time... Uncle Qin said they've committed the crimes of picking quarrels and provoking trouble, and illegal detention." Chen Zishi gave a wry laugh and relayed the crimes Qin Mu had explained to him.

He was already very clear about the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. Gathering a crowd to cause a disturbance, disrupting public order, and obstructing others' normal lives could all constitute this crime. Certain circumstances could even aggravate it, such as carrying weapons, verbal abuse, fighting, causing serious injury, or damaging property. Last time at the agritourism, the other party forcing their way into the inner courtyard with wooden sticks constituted the severe offenses of property damage and carrying weapons.

"Illegal detention?" Chen Qi's eyes widened, completely baffled. He couldn't process it for a moment. They were in their own home. How could that constitute illegal detention?

"Uncle Qin said that the main criterion for illegal detention is whether the right to personal freedom of movement has been infringed upon..." Chen Zishi recalled what Qin Mu had said and then explained illegal detention in detail.
