Chapter 774: 276 World’s Five Major Legal Systems!_4
And this time, many people replied to the exciting post with their speculations, letting their imaginations soar.
All kinds of numbers were guessed.
"Based on my understanding of UP, he usually goes after some small fry after a big score. This time, I reckon it won’t be more than ten people."
"Only ten defendants? Who are you looking down on? Last time someone shared the same air as UP, they were taken down by UP on an environmental pollution charge!"
"Ten is too few. I’m guessing a hundred. Now that all the internet trolls have quieted down, even someone as formidable as UP is probably powerless."
"The internet is not yet fully purified; UP still needs to work harder."
"I’m guessing 200. It mainly depends on which village UP has descended upon now. I heard UP really likes to target villages—first, there was Wedding Troublemaker Village, and then Stealing melon village."
"Indeed, those two villages have nearly become man-made wastelands."
"..."
Below the post, the netizens’ discussions were very heated.
Seeing this, Qing Lan couldn’t resist opening the comment section and replied, "According to reliable inside sources, UP is currently overseas, and the next case might not be in our country."
Ever since Qin Mu had set her on the irreversible path of studying law, she would visit forums whenever she was free to discuss with netizens, learn from each other, and share her insights after watching the videos. She had also learned a fair amount of legal knowledge on the forum.
As soon as she posted this message, it immediately caught the attention of several friends.
Many people started to specifically @ her, asking about the details.
"What’s going on? Has UP gone abroad this time? Is the news reliable?"
"I think this news is quite plausible. Given UP’s destructive power, he certainly wouldn’t be confined to one region."
"Foreign laws are completely different, aren’t they?"
"I remember there are five legal systems in the world. Ours is a civil law system, and two of the other systems have lost their lineage and are hardly used anymore."
"The legal systems of our ancient dynasties seem to have been lost as well; practices like collective punishment and guilt by association are gone."
"..."
Many people saw Qing Lan’s "inside information," and the focus of the discussion suddenly shifted to foreign legal systems.
For a moment, the entire forum suddenly saw a surge of posts discussing the differences in legal systems.
Many knowledgeable law graduate students and undergraduates also came forward, publishing numerous explanatory posts. They detailed the similarities and differences of each legal system.
Qing Lan scrolled through these posts, blinking, looking as if she had learned a great deal.
There are... so many scholars on the forum?
She couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
All along, she had assumed the people she chatted with were, like her, not top students. They had joined simply out of genuine interest in the law.
But to her surprise, the netizens here were full of hidden talents; they knew so much.
Besides civil law systems, there were also common law systems.
Many were speculating which country Qin Mu had gone to this time and whether it operated under a civil law system or a common law system.
If it was a civil law system, the differences from our domestic laws wouldn’t be vast. At the very least, the fundamental theories and legal logic would be similar. After all, when our country was drafting its legislation, it drew heavily from the principles of civil law systems.
But if it were a common law system, that would entail a huge difference. Ordinary lawyers might not truly understand such a complex system.
A common law system?
Qing Lan swallowed, thoughtfully.
She only knew that Qin Mu had gone abroad but hadn’t asked which specific country. She was even less aware of the significant differences between legal systems.
However, she wasn’t too worried about Qin Mu.
When it came to lawsuits, Qin Mu’s opponents were the ones who should be worried!

PS: Sorry, everyone. I missed a Chapter yesterday, and today’s update is very late.
My wife has had some spotting during her pregnancy these past two days, leading to various issues and quite a few emergencies. Luckily, none of it has been too serious.
Thank you for your concern.
Tomorrow, Guanyu will write more, aiming for two Chapters totaling 6,000 words.
