In the incident where Old Zhang killed the dog, the second principle, fault presumption, obviously did not apply. The third, the no-fault principle... likewise did not apply. This was because Old Zhang did not have the responsibility or obligation to ensure the safety of the other party's property. Furthermore, Cheng Chuxiao's actions were illegal, and there was a causal relationship between them and the damage. According to the Civil Code, if damage occurs due to illegal actions and a causal relationship exists, it does not constitute an infringement. The principle applicable to Old Zhang was precisely the first one: the fault liability principle. He was not at fault and thus did not need to provide compensation.

After explaining these three principles for determining civil tort liability, Qin Mu continued to look into the camera with a smile and said, "But after I finished explaining the legal provisions, the other party still wouldn't let it go, making a scene, and even proactively called the police. In the end... they were taken away by the police for disorderly conduct."

Because of this, Cheng Chuxiao was subject to administrative detention and a fine. And Qin Mu naturally wasn't going to let it go easily. He actively demanded compensation for the harm Old Zhang suffered. According to civil liability principles, Old Zhang had been frightened, and the other party was responsible. The other party's actions were illegal, unprotected by law, and had caused damage; therefore, they should bear full responsibility.

In court, the opposing counsel's tactics also astonished him. "Before the trial began, the opposing lawyers bribed our witness, asking them to recant their testimony. Fortunately, our witness was upright and immediately disclosed this in court..."

In the end, the trial turned into a farce. It ended hastily just as the cross-examination stage began. And those two lawyers faced a 15-day detention and the revocation of their law licenses as punishment.

"I hope everyone can make use of these three principles for determining liability in civil disputes. The follow-up to this case... will be updated in the next video," he said, finishing his statement. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The video recording came to an end. Qin Mu put away his phone and saved it.

In fact, the videos he had previously released mostly covered topics related to criminal offenses. This video, however... primarily discussed civil torts and how to determine liability. Many people in their daily lives rarely come into contact with criminal offenses; more often they encounter civil tort disputes. These three principles can be applied to all sorts of infringement disputes. Compared to previous videos, the content of this video was more practical.

Subsequently, he turned on his computer, added various materials, and spent two hours producing the video. He published it on a certain platform. After publishing, he continued to browse various platforms, searching for new 'dark horses' emerging.

In this video, he did not discuss suing for cyberbullying, for fear of tipping them off. He had a considerable number of followers now. If word got out, many potential targets might slip through the cracks.

Over the past few days, more than two thousand new ones have surfaced. There really are a lot of these sanctimonious types... Working late into the night, Qin Mu stretched and sighed with heartfelt emotion. With his 'Void Enemy Tracking' skill, he could save a great deal of effort by locking onto the IP addresses of the commenters. Although some time had passed since the incident, many people were still joining the cyberbullying mob. These people, overflowing with misplaced compassion, never once considered the truth of the matter. They commented merely to parade their sense of righteousness. For such people who cannot distinguish right from wrong, Qin Mu showed no mercy and recorded all of them. He planned to make another trip to the court the next day to initiate a new round of additional lawsuits.

However, suing these two thousand-plus people would incur another substantial cost. Currently, he had already spent all his money suing the previous 13,000 people. If he continued, he would have to sell his house and car.

Looks like I'll have to call the bank, Qin Mu muttered to himself after some thought, and made a phone call to the bank manager.

「In a first-tier city.」

「A university.」

DING-A-LING-A-LING...

As the class dismissal bell rang, Yang Wanqing walked out of the classroom with her books. She joined her classmates as usual and headed to the cafeteria.

She was a student at a prestigious university. She excelled in her studies. In her spare time, she was very fond of small animals. She had always wanted to adopt a pet. However, her roommates disagreed with her keeping a pet, and the school also had rules prohibiting pets in dormitories. Reluctantly, she could only resort to virtual pet ownership. She would watch cute animal videos in her free time and follow pet-related content, dreaming of adopting an adorable dog after graduation.

However, just as she reached the entrance to the cafeteria, she suddenly received a phone call. It was a courier from the postal service. They asked her to come sign for it as soon as possible, stating that she needed to be there in person and show identification.

What's going on? The things I bought from that livestream weren't supposed to be sent by post, were they? Confused, she went to the university's mail collection point. She signed for the parcel. Upon opening it, however, she was astonished to find a court summons and a copy of the complaint inside. It clearly stated that she was being sued for spreading false statements online, suspected of disorderly conduct and defamation. The plaintiff demanded she be sentenced to three years in prison.

"This... this... this..." Clutching the summons, her hands began to tremble involuntarily. Her face turned deathly pale. As a student from a prestigious university, it was the first time she encountered such an ominous thing as a court summons. Especially since the accusations listed on the summons were not a civil dispute but a private criminal prosecution! In the statement of claim, the plaintiff demanded that she publicly apologize online and pay compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, nutritional expenses, and various other damages.
