Chapter 907: Chapter 363: Stay Away from the Forum from Now On!
If he remembers correctly...
Bribery seems to specifically refer to state agency staff or employees of public institutions receiving illegal income to constitute a crime.
Therefore.
During his "business" period, he always adhered to his principles.
He never dared to come into contact with people in this area.
The people he dealt with...
None of them were from state agencies, you could even call them ordinary people.
Giving ordinary people a bit of money or gifts also constitutes bribery?
"Mr. Tang, giving gifts to ordinary people can also constitute the crime of bribery and offering bribes."
Wen Qing coughed lightly, then proceeded to educate Tang Suiming, the legal ignoramus, on the relevant legal knowledge.
The normal crime of bribery and offering bribes, of course, targets staff of state agencies.
But...
The crime of bribery and offering bribes comes in two types.
One is aimed at phenomena like corruption, established for regulating internal issues.
Criminal law specifies.
The crime of bribery specifically refers to offering state personnel valuables to seek undue benefits (including, in business dealings, violating state regulations by giving state personnel valuables, in large amounts, or violating state regulations by providing state personnel with commissions or service fees under various pretexts).
The other type pertains to companies and businesses, known as the crime of non-state personnel bribery.
This refers to company, enterprise, or other unit employees using their job convenience to solicit others’ valuables or illegally accept others’ valuables to obtain benefits for others, in large amounts.
It falls under the crime of disrupting company and business management order.
The former undermines state credibility, while the latter disrupts corporate order.
It also belongs to a clause in criminal law.
In other words...
Even bribing non-state personnel can constitute the crime of bribery.
It violates the principles of freedom, fairness, and justice in the market economy, leading to disorder in corporate order and destruction of the market economy.
"I just bribed a few million, it should... be fine, right?"
After listening to Wen Qing’s explanation, Tang Suiming couldn’t help but smack his lips.
Wen Qing’s mouth twitched, then continued: "This crime... as long as the amount is large, it will be filed."
Criminal law specifically provides.
Company, enterprise, or other unit employees, using their job convenience, solicit others’ valuables or illegally accept others’ valuables to obtain benefits for others, in large amounts, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years or criminal detention, and fined.
If the amount is huge or there are other serious circumstances, fixed-term imprisonment of more than three years but less than ten years, and a fine.
If the amount is particularly huge or there are other particularly serious circumstances, fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years or life imprisonment, and a fine.
Among them.
Judicial interpretations have provided detailed explanations on the amount, stipulating it to be twice the normal bribery and offering bribes amount.
That is, if you bribe a state personnel three hundred thousand, it constitutes a large amount.
For bribing non-state personnel, the amount needs to reach six hundred thousand to constitute a large amount.
If you bribe a state personnel fifty million, it constitutes a huge amount.
For bribing non-state personnel, the amount needs to reach one million to constitute a huge amount.
As for the several million Tang Suiming mentioned...
It snugly meets the conditions of a huge amount, and may even constitute a "particularly huge amount."
"Ten years?!"
With a "bang," Tang Suiming collapsed directly onto the bed.
His eyes were vacant.
Staring blankly at the ceiling.
Wen Qing’s words about the "sentence" echoed constantly in his mind.
Just one crime.
And it comes with a ten-year sentence!
If other crimes are added...
Wouldn’t he be locked up for life?!
...
Liang City.
A certain police station.
After collecting the necessary evidence.
Shen Dao quickly sent the recorded materials to the relevant departments for prompt evaluation.
As long as it could be proven that Tang Suiming’s voice matches the one Qin Mu submitted, it would confirm that Tang Suiming indeed engaged in telephone threats and coercion.
"Also, verify these materials brought back from Tang Suiming’s company as soon as possible and check for any other issues."
Then.
He turned his attention to the business project materials from Tang Suiming’s company.
All these are related to the case and fall within their scope of investigation.
Whatever needs to be investigated must be clearly investigated.
And in this case...
The hackers positioned overseas are also of utmost importance.
According to the Code of Criminal Procedure.
Without a complete chain of evidence and without identifying the relevant parties involved, trials and convictions cannot proceed.
Thinking of this.
Shen Dao’s eyes glimmered as he muttered, "I wonder how the progress is on the INTERPOL side..."
When Qin Mu reported,
he not only provided Tang Suiming’s IP address but also those of the overseas hacker teams.
And he provided two!
It was said that two groups consecutively attacked the forum.
Upon receiving the report, he forwarded these materials to INTERPOL for handling.
Cross-border capture of domestic criminals involves complex procedures.
This is why...
Many domestic criminals in recent years prefer to hide abroad.
Once they escape overseas...
The difficulty of tracking and capturing them increases exponentially.
However...
This time, Qin Mu provided exact addresses and real names for the opposing side.
This greatly reduces unnecessary troubles in tracking and capturing efforts.
Thus.
There is a high likelihood of arresting these hacker teams.
By that time...
Combining evidence from both lines will enable prosecution by law, accusing Tang Suiming of his crimes.
...
Meanwhile.
Overseas.
A certain city.
In a hospital.
"Boss, we brothers are almost starving..."
A few hackers gathered around Liao Xiangming’s hospital bed, begging desperately.
Ever since the attack on the forum.
Their team of eight had encountered all sorts of ridiculous incidents one after another, ultimately ending up at the hospital in perfect unison.
Even their hospital rooms were adjacent to each other.
Thankfully, in the following days, luck started to turn.
They didn’t have any more bad luck.
The other seven finally recovered, their bodies gradually healing.
But...
The unluckiest of them all was none other than Liao Xiangming.
As the leader of the hacker team.
He bore the brunt of it, his misfortune skyrocketing.
Various "accidents" piled up...
Ultimately leading to him having to amputate, no longer able to stand and walk on two legs.
During the days when they were "out of business".
Their team didn’t take on a single "assignment," completely unable to make ends meet.
If they didn’t get back to work soon...
The team members would literally have nothing to eat.
"Don’t panic, I’ve already contacted a few investors."
Liao Xiangming, lying in his hospital bed, looked at his juniors in front of him with a somewhat complex expression: "Your health is almost back to normal, prepare to get back to work after you’re discharged."
Although his juniors were hospitalized as well.
Compared to his situation, they could totally be considered "lucky."
He had just completed an amputation surgery.
He needed to stay in the hospital for a few more months before he could leave.
"Boss, this time... we’re not attacking that forum again, are we??"
One subordinate swallowed nervously, asking with lingering fear.
Upon hearing this, the others shivered, looking a bit unnatural.
"Yeah, boss, from now on let’s take on those safer gigs. Money’s not that important; our lives are on the line."
"Once we stopped attacking the forum, the bad luck stopped. It definitely has something to do with that forum!"
"It’s eerie! So eerie! I get jittery just thinking about the forum now!"
"From now on, we shouldn’t have any more bad luck, right?"
"..."
They gathered around Liao Xiangming, discussing.
Mentioning the forum.
Their faces displayed an indescribable fear.
Since they were hospitalized...
They didn’t dare to attack that forum again.
"That forum is kind of eerie. From now on, we should avoid it."
Liao Xiangming let out a bitter laugh, also feeling a bit apprehensive.
He had been wise his whole life.
This time he was completely blind, foolishly trusting that guy Tang Suiming, and went to provoke this mysterious forum.
In the past few days.
He had taken some time to understand the situation of this forum.
He had learned a lot of things.
It was said that the users there were fans of an UP in the country, constantly studying law there, forming an educational forum.
That UP...
Was even praised as celestial by these users, with incredible tales about them.
It’s said they once sued over ten thousand defendants at once, causing a nationwide sensation.
Those who opposed them didn’t seem to end well.
The worst sentenced to twenty years.
Although he wasn’t entirely convinced.
He preferred to be safe than sorry.
However.
Tang Suiming on the other side was still attacking this forum.
The forum was currently in a paralyzed state.
"From now on, stay away from this forum, stop attacking them for no reason."
He let out a sigh, advising everyone.
They nodded continuously.
At this moment.
A nurse walked in with several people from the police department, coming to their front.
Behind the police personnel.
Were some familiar yellow-skinned, uniformed faces.
"This..."
His pupils contracted, immediately sensing something was wrong.
But as he tried to escape.
He realized his legs were gone, and could only watch in despair as they got closer.
"Among you... who is Liao Xiangming??"
A familiar voice speaking Chinese rang out.
The police officers were staring at him intently, earnestly asking.
Clearly.
This group was targeting him!
In an instant.
Countless thoughts flashed through Liao Xiangming’s mind, not even understanding how he had been exposed.
Nor understanding...
How they managed to find him so quickly.
The most frustrating part was...
He knew clearly they were coming for him, yet he couldn’t escape.
Otherwise, given his knowledge of the layout, he would have had the chance to evade the capture of these international police.
...
Jin City.
Mountain and Water Garden District.
"UP, how are things going now?"
Qin Mu had just finished eating when he received a message from Ma Ming.
Ever since the forum became paralyzed.
Ma Ming would check in with him on the progress daily.
"Soon, once the forum is restored... those hackers should have been caught."
Qin Mu shrugged and replied.
