Yu Chenzhou's stern warning and unquestionable attitude made Xiaoming's face turn ugly instantly.

He instinctively struggled twice, but found that his wrist was being held tightly and he couldn't break free at all.

At the same time, the chat in the live stream began to become chaotic, and many rational viewers realized the seriousness of the problem.

People flooded the comments section with messages like, "This is copyright infringement by the streamer," "If someone doesn't want to be filmed, they shouldn't force it," and "Apologize and delete the video immediately."

Xiao Ming knew he had met his match this time, but relying on his two million fans, he refused to back down easily.

He immediately gripped the phone stand tightly with his other hand, aimed the camera back at Yu Chenzhou's face, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Family members, did you all hear that?"

My live stream titles clearly state that it's a fictional story, and there is absolutely no copyright infringement involved!

Now it's our turn to shine, let these self-important social elites see the power of ordinary people like us!

"To the 500,000 viewers in the live stream, look closely, remember this person's face, and now dox him and post all his information online!"

At this point, he suddenly turned the camera towards his arm, which was being held by Yu Chenzhou, and began to scream exaggeratedly:

Did you see that?

He was still gripping my arm, and I didn't even have the strength to break free!

Family, family, family!

Your streamer, Xiaoming, has been bullied!

Family members in the live stream, please help me! Quickly dox him, dig up all his personal information, and find out who he really is!

We need to let him know that we ordinary people are not to be bullied!

Let go, let go now!

What, you dare to hit me?

Come on, hit me! If you've got the guts, hit me!

I have two million family members supporting me, I'm not afraid of you at all!

Xiao Ming plans to follow his usual strategy, using the fans in the live stream to create momentum and put pressure on the other party, making them back down.

But Yu Chenzhou, seeing his hysterical state, remained expressionless, though a cold smile crept into his heart.

This person really brought this on himself.

He slowly released Xiao Ming's hand, took two steps back, and naturally put his hands into his pockets, looking confident and composed.

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou had voluntarily let go, Xiaoming thought his fans' efforts had worked and that the other party was afraid of him, so he became even more arrogant and said smugly to the camera:

"Did you see that, family members?"

These social elites who usually sit in their offices aren't actually that capable; they were just too scared to make a move because of us…”

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Yu Chenzhou pull a cell phone out of his pocket and rapidly tap on the screen.

Xiao Ming's voice stopped abruptly, and he froze.

Yu Chenzhou skillfully pressed the numbers 110, then held the phone's dial pad up to his camera so that he and the viewers in the live stream could see it clearly. Without hesitation, he pressed the call button.

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou actually dared to call the police, Xiaoming was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body, and he hurriedly ended the live broadcast.

He instinctively wanted to step forward and stop Yu Chenzhou from making the call, but when he thought of the feeling of helplessness when the other party grabbed his wrist just now, he stopped himself from taking a step forward.

He could only stand there anxiously, explaining in a somewhat ingratiating tone:

"Brother, it's just a small matter, there's no need to take it so seriously."

We were just joking, it doesn't need to escalate to the point of calling the police. Can you hang up now?

Yu Chenzhou completely ignored his pleas and pleas, and clearly explained the situation to the operator on the other end of the phone:

"Hello, we were harassed at the Oriental Pearl Tower on Fucheng Road. The person involved is an online celebrity named Xiaoming Ge who filmed us without our consent and made offensive remarks. We asked him to delete the video, but he refused to cooperate."

Yes, the other party is still at the scene.

Okay, I'll try my best not to clash with him and wait for you to arrive, but I can't guarantee he'll stay here and wait for you.

The two were not far apart, and Xiao Ming could hear Yu Chenzhou's conversation with the operator clearly.

His face grew even paler, and he no longer had the courage to turn and run away.

He knew very well that in any dispute in China, if one party dared to flee without authorization, regardless of whether they were originally in the right or not, they would become the party in the wrong.

After all, there's a saying: "If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you running away?"

Just as Yu Chenzhou hung up the emergency call, Xiao Yilin's voice rang out.

She took her phone out of her bag, quickly dialed a number, and said calmly:

"Hello, Attorney Qin, this is Xiao Yilin."

I've encountered a minor dispute near the Oriental Pearl Tower on Fucheng Road and need your assistance in resolving it. Could you please come over now?

Okay, we've already called the police. I'll be waiting for you at the scene.

Don't worry, I have people with me, they can't hurt me.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yilin had actually contacted a lawyer directly, Xiao Ming was instantly struck dumb, completely stunned.

He never expected that his attempt to gain some online attention would lead him to such a stubborn pair of people who wouldn't listen to reason.

The man called the police immediately, but the woman went even further, hiring a lawyer on the spot – she was determined to make a huge scene!

"Qin Jin, Attorney Qin, is our company's legal counsel."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yilin looked at Yu Chenzhou and explained with a smile.

"Brother, beautiful lady, let's talk this out. There's no need for things to get so tense..."

Xiao Ming's tone softened completely, and he was about to continue begging for mercy when a series of urgent police sirens suddenly came from afar, getting closer and closer.

Soon, a motorcycle with its police lights on came into view.

The words of pleading he was about to say were instantly swallowed back down, and his face turned even uglier.

At this time of day, traffic near the core scenic area is extremely congested, and it takes at least half an hour for motor vehicles to drive in.

To avoid a physical altercation, the police station sent a police officer on a motorcycle to maintain order.

After parking their motorcycles, the police officers immediately approached the three individuals to inquire about the situation.

Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin explained the whole story clearly, one after the other, while Xiao Ming stammered and offered his explanation.

After the police officers had fully understood the ins and outs of the matter, they looked at Xiaoming with speechless disbelief.

It's obvious that he started this whole thing, and the content of his live stream just happened to become irrefutable evidence that he infringed on others' rights and offended them.

"Officer, don't listen to their nonsense!"

Faced with the police officer's gaze, which seemed to look at him like he was an idiot, Xiao Ming stubbornly argued on.

"This is just a fictional story, and it's clearly stated in my live stream title. There's absolutely no copyright infringement involved!"

I was just kidding with them!

"Regardless of whether it's for a dramatic performance or not, you must obtain the explicit permission of the person whose image you are photographing or using beforehand."

The police officer sternly interrupted his explanation, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"You can't say that just because you've marked it as acting, you can film or harass others at will. That's a clear violation of the law."

Just as Xiaoming was about to continue arguing, a middle-aged man in a suit and carrying a briefcase hurriedly rode over on a shared bicycle.

After locking the shared bicycle, he walked quickly to Xiao Yilin, panting, and said with a hint of apology:

"Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry, the traffic outside was really bad, so I had to ride a shared bike to get here. I'm late."

What happened? Could you briefly explain the situation to me?

"Attorney Qin, you've arrived."

Upon seeing Qin Jin, Xiao Yilin didn't waste any words and immediately recounted what had just happened.

"I see."

After understanding the situation, Qin Jin asked with a serious expression.

"Mr. Xiao, what are your demands?"

"Make him bear the corresponding legal responsibility."

Xiao Yilin answered without hesitation.

"Okay, I understand."

After listening, Qin Jin's expression became even more serious, and he spoke to Xiao Yilin.

"Mr. Xiao, his actions clearly infringe upon your portrait rights."

They also deliberately incited social antagonism and spread extreme remarks to provoke group conflicts through live streaming, which has caused serious disruption to public order.

Based on these actions, in addition to pursuing his civil liability, a criminal charge of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" can also be added.

Qin Jin has been handling various legal disputes for many years and is very familiar with this kind of situation. He can see the key point of the matter at a glance.

The moment Qin Jin uttered those words, all the police officers present were stunned.

He originally thought that Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin would at most want to pursue Xiao Ming's administrative responsibility under the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" on the grounds of "inciting trouble".

The most serious consequences would be no more than 15 days of detention and a fine of 1000 yuan.

But the crime of provoking trouble is completely different; it is a clear criminal case that violates the Criminal Law.

If convicted, Xiaoming will face criminal penalties including up to five years in prison, detention, or probation.

In comparison, the previously mentioned infringement of portrait rights seems like a minor issue.

After all, he only filmed the two people during the live stream and did not use their images for other related profit-making activities. At most, he would delete the video and compensate for some emotional distress.

In other words, Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin are determined to severely punish Xiaoming.

However, the police officers felt no sympathy for Xiaoming at all; on the contrary, they felt extremely relieved.

There are indeed quite a few online celebrities who, relying on their small following, act arrogantly and wantonly infringe upon the legal rights of others, mistaking vulgarity for humor and harassment for interaction. It's long overdue for someone to properly discipline them.

This time, Xiaoming really hit a brick wall, and it served as a profound lesson for him.

Under the watchful eyes of the police officer, which held a hint of "good luck," Qin Jin asked Xiaoming to check the live stream recording.

Xiao Ming didn't dare to refuse, so he reluctantly opened his phone and handed over the video he had just recorded during the live stream to Qin Jin.

Qin Jin made a copy, then quickly browsed through it to confirm that the video fully recorded Xiao Ming's infringement and disorderly conduct. He then saved the video as key evidence for subsequent prosecution.

"Handsome guy, beautiful lady, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Xiao Ming panicked completely. He almost knelt down with a thud, turned to look at Yu Chenzhou, who had been silently watching, and pleaded with him.

"Can we settle this privately? I can pay you compensation; I'll try my best to satisfy your demands, as long as you don't sue me or pursue criminal charges against me!"

Although Yu Chenzhou hadn't said much, he could tell that of the two, Yu Chenzhou was the one who truly had the power, and now only Yu Chenzhou could save him.

"Mr. Yu, you don't need to pay him any attention."

Before Yu Chenzhou could speak, Qin Jin spoke first, his tone very firm.

"Leave the subsequent legal procedures to me. I will help you and Mr. Xiao to pursue his full responsibility and will not let him get away easily."

After hearing the whole story from Xiao Yilin, Qin Jin had a rough idea of ​​the key points.

The fact that things have escalated to this point is most likely due to Yu Chenzhou's deliberate manipulation, because if Yu Chenzhou hadn't provoked Xiaoming, he would have only lost some money at most.

But his remarks changed everything. You have to understand that he didn't just incite one or two people, but more than 500,000.

That's right, there were indeed more than 500,000 people watching his live stream at the time.

And Xiaoming, being so foolish, took the bait.

"I wasn't planning on paying any attention to him anyway."

Yu Chenzhou said indifferently, not even glancing at Xiaoming, his tone full of coldness.

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."

He brought this upon himself.

After saying that, he turned to look at Qin Jin and asked:

"I'll leave things here to you. May we leave now?"

Xiao Yilin also looked at Qin Jin.

"OK."

Qin Jin nodded affirmatively and said to the two of them.

"Tomorrow I will have someone deliver the agency authorization documents to your company or home. After you sign them, I will handle all subsequent investigations, lawsuits, and other litigation procedures. I will keep you informed of the progress in a timely manner."

After he finished speaking, he carefully gave a few more instructions.

"Then I'll have to trouble Attorney Qin."

Xiao Yilin stepped forward and politely thanked Qin Jin.

We left before having dinner.

Please feel free to contact us if you require any further cooperation.

Then, Yu Chenzhou took Xiao Yilin's hand, and the two turned around side by side and left the scene without looking at Xiao Ming again.

The police didn't say much about it.

All the information that needed to be gathered has been gathered, and all the evidence that needed to be secured has been secured.

All that's left is to wait for the subsequent legal proceedings to proceed. As victims, Yu Chenzhou and Xiao Yilin are naturally free to leave at any time.
