Jiang Hai’s lies were too obvious.
But in a way, they also had an unassailable roguishness.
Because being convicted for online comments, at least in China at this time, has never been heard of.
The law is inherently delayed.
When a new thing develops too quickly, corresponding regulations are hard to come by in a short time.
People like Lun Kun who are timid could be easily dealt with, at least with criticism and education.
But thick-skinned people like Jiang Hai are truly troublesome.
Yue Qingqing looked at the other party’s disgusting face.
"No matter what your reasons were for doing this, the result has already damaged my reputation. Therefore, I demand that you clarify the facts on the forum and apologize, keeping the post pinned for at least two weeks."
Jiang Hai still wanted to continue his act, "Yue, you really break my heart, isn’t this all because you were getting too close to other guys, otherwise..."
"Shut up!" Even the policewoman couldn’t stand it, "Keep it up and let’s have a chat at the station about how insulting others can be a crime."
Jiang Hai raised an eyebrow but finally fell silent.
"What I just mentioned is the first point. Second, because your post personally attacked me, I demand compensation for emotional damages."
Jiang Hai looked at Yue Qingqing incredulously, "Are you trying to extort me?"
Yue Qingqing knew reasoning with such people was useless; he must be made to pay a substantial price.
"I’m simply making a reasonable compensation request. Otherwise, we can meet in court. I’m sure the media would be very interested in this case, and more people will know about Senior Jiang Hai’s ’feelings’ for me then."
Yue Qingqing emphasized the word "feelings" heavily.
From Jiang Hai’s demeanor, it was apparent that he came from a well-off family.
People like him often valued their reputation more than ordinary people could imagine.
Attack the shield with its spear.
Since he could use the Minghua University forum to tarnish her reputation, Yue Qingqing could certainly expose his issues to the media.
Let everyone see just how insane Jiang Hai really was.
Sure enough, when Yue Qingqing mentioned taking it to court and letting the media know, Jiang Hai’s face finally turned serious.
He reined in his exaggerated expression.
"Third, to prevent similar incidents from happening again, I will use this money to help more people defend their rights. If similar false information is posted on Minghua University’s forum in the future, the relevant personnel can use this fund to hire a lawyer and protect their rights legally."
Even the police officer was astonished by this.
Yue Qingqing’s move was magnificent.
Not only could it wash away the stains on her reputation, but it could also broaden the issue’s impact, serving as a deterrence to future offenders.
Anyone else considering similar tactics would have to think carefully about whether they could withstand the legal consequences.
In Yue Qingqing’s view, the student council members surely weren’t using this trick for the first time.
After all, they managed the forum, giving them home-court advantage to manipulate public opinion as they pleased.
But Yue Qingqing’s third demand was like a sword hanging over their heads.
Trying similar tricks in the future wouldn’t be so easy.
Jiang Hai hadn’t expected that Yue Qingqing, a freshman, could think this far ahead.
No wonder Yu Mengyu saw Yue Qingqing as a thorn in her side; indeed, she was not to be trifled with.
But in front of the police, Jiang Hai had no choice.
"How much do you want?"
Yue Qingqing’s smile was extraordinarily bright, "Ten thousand."
Jiang Hai’s eyes widened, "Are you insane? A single post is worth ten thousand?"
"It’s not about the post; it’s about a girl’s reputation. Is ten thousand too much?" Yue Qingqing used Jiang Hai’s words against him, "Besides, didn’t Senior Jiang Hai fall in love with me at first sight? And you can’t even afford this small amount?"
Jiang Hai felt like a mouthful of blood was stuck in his throat, neither swallowable nor spit out.
"Yue Qingqing, you’re ruthless!"
