Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 95 You Don't Know You Were Wrong, You're Just Scared (Please Subscribe, Please Vote)

"Are you going to post it online?"

The middle-aged women exchanged glances, their expressions not looking too good.

Although they are old, they often watch short videos and so on. It's not that they don't know anything. They just take a chance and rely on the fact that there are many of them and that they are old, so they don't care if they get caught.

But if it gets posted online, people will point fingers and gossip, and relatives and friends will laugh at you—just thinking about that scene sends chills down your spine.

"Don't worry, I'll blur your faces."

Xu Zhiyi has always been very legally conscious and would never do anything that infringes on her portrait rights.

But the older women didn't believe he would be so kind.

The middle-aged woman with glasses rolled her eyes, then rushed over and grabbed at Xu Zhiyi, yelling, "Give me the camera!"

Xu Zhiyi stepped aside, easily dodging the attack.

The middle-aged woman wearing glasses missed her target and almost lost her balance, stumbling a couple of steps before regaining her footing.

The other women also realized what was happening and rushed forward.

"Hand over the camera! Or you're not leaving today!"

"Take it out now!"

Give me the camera!

Several middle-aged women pulled and tugged, but they couldn't even touch the hem of Xu Zhiyi's clothes. Instead, they ended up panting and out of breath.

The middle-aged woman with glasses was quick-witted. Seeing that she couldn't catch up with Xu Zhiyi, she suddenly took out her phone, opened the camera, sat down on the ground, slapped her thigh, and started wailing, "Oh my god! This is bullying! Young people are bullying old people!"

"Come quick, everyone! These young people are already behaving badly, fishing with slingshots late at night and bullying us old ladies!"

"This is outrageous! Is nobody in charge of this?!"

As soon as she started howling, another middle-aged woman joined in.

"They're hitting someone!"

"They're hitting an old man!"

"My back! He pushed my back, it hurts so much!"

This kind of wailing seems to be a natural skill of middle-aged women.

You don't need to learn it deliberately; you'll automatically master it when you reach a certain age.

Several middle-aged women were wailing very loudly.

It attracted the attention of a night jogger in the distance, who stood watching from a distance, not daring to approach.

Just then, the sound of police sirens came from afar.

A white pickup truck was parked on the side of the road.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Captain Zhu jumped out of the passenger seat.

He was followed by four law enforcement officers in fishery administration uniforms.

The five of them turned off the main road and soon arrived at the riverbank.

"What happened?"

Captain Zhu strode over, glanced at Xu Zhiyi, then turned to look at the group of middle-aged women sitting on the ground. His lips twitched involuntarily, as if he found the situation somewhat troublesome.

"Auntie, let's stop crying. What's wrong? Let's get up and talk."

When the bespectacled woman saw that it was someone in uniform, she started wailing even louder.

"Boss! You have to stand up for us! We don't know what this young man is doing here, he won't let us release the fish, and he even shot and killed our fish with a slingshot! When we argued with him, he tried to hit us—ouch, my back! I can't take it, I need to go to the hospital!"

Team Leader Zhu frowned.

He glanced at Xu Zhiyi.

Xu Zhiyi pointed to the camera on her backpack and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Captain Zhu, I recorded the whole thing."

.

Captain Zhu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

He waved to the staff behind him and pointed to the plastic bags by the river, "Let's collect evidence first, and put all these fish away, as well as the few floating in the river."

Also, please register their identities.

The staff immediately sprang into action.

Some were taking photos of evidence with body cameras, some were registering the identities of the women one by one, and the rest were taking plastic bags from the riverbank and bringing nets from their vehicles to fish out the floating cleaners.

The older women tried to stop them.

Team Leader Zhu said sternly, "You are suspected of illegally releasing invasive alien species. According to the Biosecurity Law and the Regulations on the Management of Invasive Alien Species, you will be subject to administrative penalties!"

The howling stopped abruptly.

The woman in the floral dress looked up, her eyes flickered, and she feigned ignorance. "We just released a few fish, how is that illegal?"

"Yes, it's illegal."

Team Leader Zhu nodded. "The cleaner fish you just released are an invasive species that can damage the local ecosystem. We have clear laws prohibiting the indiscriminate release of animals."

Violators will be fined, have their goods confiscated, and be ordered to return to the country within a specified period. In serious cases, criminal charges will be pursued!

The women looked at each other in bewilderment.

One of the older women stammered, "But we were doing a good deed, how is that illegal?"

"Why did you have to release a pleco out of all those kinds of fish!"

Team Leader Zhu pointed irritably to the sign by the river, "The sign has been there for a long time, it says it very clearly, I don't believe you haven't seen it!"

"I don't know."

The woman in the floral dress rolled her eyes and quickly put on a forced smile, saying, "Boss, we really didn't know before. Now that we know, and you've confiscated the fish, we won't do it again—we'll be going now."

The middle-aged woman with glasses chimed in, "Yes, yes, I need to go to the hospital—I just twisted my back, it hurts so much."

Xu Zhiyi couldn't help but shake his head at this sight.

The other middle-aged women might not know, but these two certainly knew exactly what was going on.

They are now scared and want to leave as soon as possible.

But with his extensive experience, how could Captain Zhu not understand?

He first had his subordinates register the identity information of these middle-aged women, then took photos and videos to preserve the evidence, before finally producing a "Prior Notice of Administrative Penalty".

"The six of you released a total of 120 scavengers, which constitutes a serious illegal act committed by multiple people in a large number of cases. You will definitely be punished to the fullest extent of the law."

The total fine is 50,000 yuan, which shall be paid jointly by the six of you.

In addition, you must catch all the released catfish within 7 days! If you fail to do so within the time limit, the fishery administration will catch them on your behalf, and the cost will be borne jointly by all 6 of you.

You have the right to make a statement and appeal. You can submit a written application to the government service window of the Fisheries and Fishery Administration Supervision and Management Division of the Xicheng Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau.

Did you all understand?

In an instant, the faces of all the middle-aged women changed drastically.

"And we have to pay a fine?"

"5 million?"

"On what grounds are you fining me?"

"I didn't know it was illegal—they said they were coming to release the animals, so I came along."

"I'm just here to help! It has nothing to do with me!"

'

Amidst the commotion of the older women, Captain Zhu solemnly declared, "Whether you knew it or not, breaking the law is breaking the law. Since you all broke the law together, you will all bear the responsibility!"

The middle-aged women were furious and glared at Captain Zhu.

"I have no money!"

"Why are we being punished? We have no money!"

"Even though I have the money, I won't pay!"

Team Leader Zhu said coldly, "As I just said, if you have any objections, you can submit a written application to the government service window within 5 working days after receiving the 'Prior Notice of Administrative Penalty'."

If the deadline is exceeded, it will be considered that you have no objection. You must make payment at the designated bank within 15 days, or you can pay online by scanning a code.

However, failure to pay by the deadline will result in additional fines and may lead to a court-ordered enforcement.

Upon hearing the words "enforcement," the fierce look on the woman in the floral dress vanished instantly, replaced by visible panic.

She quickly forced a smile and softened her tone, "Boss, boss, please calm down. We really didn't know we couldn't release the fish! We're just a bunch of old ladies, we don't know anything!"

"Please, be magnanimous and spare us this time!"

"Yeah yeah!"

The bespectacled woman, ignoring her back pain, scrambled to her feet and pleaded, "We promise we'll never do it again! Can you please remove this ticket? Fifty thousand yuan is way too much!"

Several other middle-aged women also gathered around, pleading for mercy in unison.

"We just wanted to do good deeds and accumulate merit; we really didn't do it on purpose!"

"Boss, please be lenient!"

Team Leader Zhu remained unmoved and pushed the notice forward, saying, "Begging me won't help; that's just how the law is."

You've signed for it, right? The follow-up procedures are all clearly written on it.

"We won't sign! We won't sign!"

When the woman in the floral dress realized that her gentle approach wasn't working, she became more forceful.

She shoved the paper aside, her voice rising, "I don't believe it! What's the big deal if a few old women release a few fish? Are you going to arrest us and put us in jail?"

"Yes! We won't sign!"

"Go ahead and arrest us if you dare!"

"You officials only know how to bully us ordinary people!"

'

Captain Zhu's face darkened, and he said sternly, "What are you trying to do? Resisting law enforcement and obstructing official duties will be considered a serious offense with a bad attitude, and then it won't be a matter that can be resolved with just 50,000 yuan!"

As expected of the captain of the law enforcement team, his shout immediately silenced the group of middle-aged women.

They looked at each other, their arrogant demeanor instantly extinguished.

The woman in the floral dress dared not shout any louder and could only mutter softly, "How could we resist law enforcement? We just—we just know we were wrong. We're old and confused sometimes. Could you please reduce the fine?"

"Yes, yes, let's reduce the fine!"

"We promise we'll never do it again!"

"Boss, please have some mercy!"

Captain Zhu sighed, his tone softening slightly. "The penalty amount is clearly stipulated by laws and regulations; it's not something I can decide alone. I suggest you submit a written application as required, actively admit your mistakes, participate in fishing, and engage in legal education campaigns. Perhaps that will lead to a lighter penalty."

But if you keep making trouble, it definitely won't do you any good!

Hearing this, the older women completely lost their temper.

Although they dared not cause any more trouble, the woman in the floral dress and the woman with glasses would occasionally glance at Xu Zhiyi, their eyes filled with undisguised hatred and resentment, as if they wished they could bite him a few times.

Clearly, these two were blaming him for everything.

If it weren't for his interference, they would have released the fish and left long ago.

By the way, it seems like the fisheries administration officials know him!

It must have been the fishery administration officer he called!

It's all this guy's fault; he made them get fined!

Xu Zhiyi watched the whole thing from the side, taking in all their expressions.

If I had known this, why bother.

When you're feeling lucky, you think you're right no matter what you do. But when you actually stumble and fall, instead of reflecting on your mistakes, you try to blame others.

This kind of person isn't stupid, they're evil!

They are now admitting their mistakes not because they know they were wrong, but because they are afraid of the more powerful law enforcement team.

In the end, it is strength that speaks in this world!
