Too Bad I Take Things Seriously

For them, attending court hearings as an entertainment activity had opened the door to a new world, bringing new vitality to their dull and tedious twilight years. Usually, although the nursing home's activities were plentiful, they were all just ways to pass the time. But attending court hearings was different. This "entertainment activity" allowed them to mingle with more people and events while joining in on the excitement. It gave them a sense of participation.

In conclusion, more and more elderly people in the nursing home became fascinated with this activity. When there weren't enough lawsuits, they even started to consider initiating them themselves.

"Old Zhang, Mr. Li, come over here. I just got a lawsuit template from Xiao Wang."

"This is good stuff! Have you decided who you want to sue? If you haven't chosen anyone, I have a candidate."

"My initial thought is the cafeteria lady, but I'm still figuring out the charges. We see her all the time, so we can't be too harsh. How can we sue her so she only has to apologize and doesn't go to jail?"

"That's a problem. Xiao Qin only showed us how to sue to send people to jail..."

"..."

A group of old men gathered together, whispering secretly. Sometimes they showed joy, other times they frowned with worry, as if they were plotting something significant.

Every time Qin Mu approached, they would immediately act normal. Those playing chess continued their game, and those walking continued their stroll.

Qin Mu: "..."

Seeing this group of elderly people increasingly letting themselves go, he felt somewhat helpless. But play aside, Zhang Qingyuan and the others were still very good at keeping things within bounds. They wouldn't do anything too excessive.

In the afternoon, Qin Mu, having a rare full-day shift and being unbearably bored, could only go and chat with Wang Dachui. Old Zhang and the others were always busy plotting something important and had no need for him. Besides, his work wasn't extensive, and he had finished it all in the morning.

「In the legal advisor's office.」

Wang Dachui was engrossed in studying the "Criminal Law." When he saw Qin Mu entering, he couldn't help but shiver. He couldn't resist asking, "You... you... you don't have another case, do you?"

As the saying goes, no one shows up at a temple without a cause. Every time Qin Mu entered, he had a case for him. He, a civil litigation lawyer, had originally planned to slack off and enjoy a relaxed life in the nursing home, but now he had been led astray by Qin Mu.

"I just came to see how you were doing. Why are you so nervous?" Qin Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wang Dachui's reaction.

Wang Dachui: "..."

Seeing Qin Mu looking very bored, he also put down the "Criminal Law" he was holding, and the two began to chat. Lately, he had been continuously studying criminal law, so he took the opportunity to ask Qin Mu many questions about it. Qin Mu, in turn, inquired about the important points for the lawyer's qualification exam.

"Although the pass rate for the bar exam is low, given your breadth of knowledge..." Wang Dachui looked deeply at Qin Mu and swallowed.

Every time he faced Qin Mu, he felt like he was facing an encyclopedia of all legal statutes. In civil, criminal, or even in financial law, contract law, property law, company law... Qin Mu had deeply studied the statutes in these fields. He understood them thoroughly, even to the point of being able to recite them backwards.

The two chatted for several hours. As they talked, the conversation drifted to Wang Dachui's girlfriend. Their relationship had recovered after their last reconciliation.

But... when Wang Dachui mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, looking troubled. "You have no idea. Si Yu has become more and more obsessed, studying criminal law all day long, and always asking me those twisted criminal law questions."

Qin Mu quickly remembered the ten legal questions from their previous reconciliation. The corners of his mouth twitched. Those questions were indeed quite complex, each one subtly targeted her ex-boyfriend.

"Lately, she has been on a forum called Study Law Alliance every day, exchanging legal knowledge with others." Wang Dachui shook his head again, sighing, "It seems she even became a fan of an 'up,' constantly boasting about how incredible her favorite 'up' was."

His tone was full of helplessness.

"'Up'?" Qin Mu's expression flickered slightly upon hearing this. This was Little Station's exclusive term for its video creators. It seemed the 'up' his girlfriend liked was also in the same profession.

"'She also said that 'up' seems to be in Jin City. She asked me if I knew him, but Jin City is so big, how could I possibly know him?'" Wang Dachui commented, pursing his lips and shrugging.

"That Study Law Alliance, do you know the link?" Qin Mu asked, a thought stirring in his mind.

Wang Dachui looked at Qin Mu in surprise and nodded. "Yes, I went there out of curiosity before."

"The forum is really strange, divided into several sections. One is the 'Soul Cleansing Zone,' where they only post poetry and similar things."

"Another is the 'Fresh Start Zone'; I almost thought it was full of criminals."

"The last one, the Study Law Alliance section, was more normal; they discussed some twisted cases there..."

Influenced by his girlfriend, he had logged into the forum and even registered an account. But the way the forum users thought... was simply too peculiar. He couldn't keep up at all.

Meanwhile, as Qin Mu listened... he suddenly paused. From Wang Dachui's description, he felt it sounded similar to his group of fans who had disappeared.

Could it be... that this group of fans had all migrated here?

Soon, he obtained the website link from Wang Dachui and logged into the forum on his phone.

Sure enough, familiar faces who had been active in Ma Xiaotiao's comment section appeared before his eyes.
