Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's incredibly professional answer, the viewers in the live stream instantly became excited.

Wow! There really is a standard answer!

[As expected of Attorney Jiang, her professionalism is impeccable!]

Give Attorney Jiang a chance to answer some idiotic questions, and he'll show everyone what professionalism truly means!

[Look, that's professionalism!]

[Great, great, I like Attorney Jiang's answer!]

[Next time you have a similar problem, you can come and see Attorney Jiang.]

Hearing these legal questions every day, Attorney Jiang would probably suffer a brain hemorrhage!

It's not that easy!

"I understand, Attorney Jiang."

The girl on the video call sounded a little distressed.

"Then I'd better not report my mom. What she did doesn't count as illegal detention."

This statement is even more shocking.

This is just too heartbreaking!

Filial piety breeds strength!

Jiang Chenqian chuckled and nodded.

"Don't even think about suing your aunt."

"I bet even the auntie didn't expect that, so many years after giving birth, she would still face this ordeal!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, the girl hung up the phone.

Jiang Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

It finally died!

He wasn't sure what she might say if they continued talking!

If you said that to the police, they would call the police!

After a brief internal struggle, Jiang Chen connected with the next netizen for a live stream.

"Hello, Attorney Jiang?"

"Can you hear me, Attorney Jiang?"

The person I was talking to on the video call this time was a guy, and he sounded a bit irritable.

He must be a young man.

"Yes, I can hear you."

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Attorney Jiang, my name is Chen Fang, and I'm a freshman in college."

"I'd like to ask you a legal question."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen pursed his lips and did not respond directly, but remained silent for a moment.

"You tell me first, and I'll listen."

He's already become more shrewd.

Never let your guard down until you hear about the case!

Seeing Jiang Chen's reaction, the viewers in the live stream all laughed.

[Hahaha... Attorney Jiang, what about your service attitude?!]

[Because she's been fooled so many times, Attorney Jiang has lost all her service attitude!]

This is what they call "once bitten by a snake, twice shy"!

Look how scared Attorney Jiang is, he's even on edge!

[If you scare Attorney Jiang again, he'll start breathing out hot air soon!]

Chen Fang's voice sounded very excited.

"Attorney Jiang, I'd like to ask you something."

"If I stole something from abroad that would benefit the country's development and brought it back to China."

Will the country protect me?

Jiang Chen does indeed have a professional answer to this question.

He stroked his chin, pondering for a moment.

"According to Article 7 of my country's Criminal Law, if a Chinese citizen commits a crime stipulated in the Criminal Law outside the territory of China, the Criminal Law of China shall apply."

"Only minor offenses with a maximum penalty of three years or less imprisonment can be exempted from prosecution."

"If it's theft... then it falls under the categories of theft, smuggling, and infringement of trade secrets, all of which are serious crimes!"

"Even if the act occurs entirely abroad, the judicial authorities can still file a case, prosecute, and sentence the offender after they return to China."

Different behaviors correspond to specific crimes.

If it involves the theft of physical goods or assets, it constitutes theft.

Sentencing is based solely on the amount stolen and the circumstances, regardless of where the stolen goods are used.

If it involves stealing technology or trade secrets, then it constitutes the crime of infringing trade secrets.

If it involves other state secrets, it could also constitute a more serious crime of endangering national security!

Furthermore, failing to declare items brought into the country can constitute smuggling!

Evading customs supervision, evading tariffs, or violating prohibited or restricted items constitutes a crime.

It has nothing to do with the value or use of the item itself.

"There is no provision in my country's criminal law that states that 'one can be exempt from crime for the sake of national interests or development'."

Jiang Chen continued.

"Even if your subjective motive is to help the country's development, as long as you commit illegal acts such as theft or smuggling, it meets the elements of a crime, and you will still be convicted!"

However, Jiang Chen paused for a moment and then changed the subject.

"At most, when sentencing, the court may take into account that there was no serious social impact and that there was some positive value objectively, and may impose a lighter sentence. However, this is a lighter sentence, not protection against acquittal."

Then, Jiang Chen looked at the camera and spoke to the others.

"It's crucial to distinguish here that individual actions are not the same as state actions!"

"Many people confuse the boundaries between personal theft and work at the national level."

"Personal actions taken without authorization constitute illegal and criminal acts made and carried out entirely by the individual. The state does not recognize, endorse, or protect such actions, and the state will judge them as appropriate."

"The foreign affairs work carried out by the state in accordance with the law has strict subject qualifications, legal procedures and approval processes. It is a legitimate official activity and is fundamentally different from theft. It is not something that individuals can do at will!"

Simply put, the government will not take responsibility for an individual's illegal activities, nor will it bail out an individual simply because something is useful!

Jiang Chen's explanation was very thorough.

After hearing this, Chen Fang sounded somewhat discouraged.

"Attorney Jiang, are there no special circumstances?"

They brought back very useful things for the country.

In the end, it turned out to be a crime.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment and replied seriously: "If an individual brings back key technology that objectively has significant value to the industry, in judicial practice, the charge is usually still upheld and the nature of the crime remains unchanged."

"When sentencing, factors such as the defendant's attitude toward admitting guilt, the value of the technology, and subsequent contributions can be considered to mitigate the sentence within the legally permissible range."

"However, there will absolutely be no situation where the state intervenes to protect the individuals and prevent them from being held accountable!"

Jiang Chen spoke with absolute certainty about this.

Viewers in the live stream chat were also discussing it extensively.

[While that's the official statement, there are definitely protective measures in place!]

[That's right, what if they really bring back some amazing technology!]

There is still a lot of room for flexibility in this regard!

I'm curious, what great technology did you bring back that allows for such flexibility?

There are many more, but they're not things that ordinary people like us can access!

That's right, this kind of cutting-edge technology isn't something ordinary people can see, let alone bring back!

"I understand, Attorney Jiang..."

Chen Fang spoke slowly.

"Then I also want to ask, if I steal a foreign nuclear bomb and bring it back to my country, is that illegal?"

"What the hell are you stealing?!"

Jiang Chen had just picked up the water and taken a sip when he almost choked.

Stealing nuclear weapons?

Bring it back?

Putting everything else aside, if he can do this, Jiang Chen has to say he's awesome!

"Dude, you're awesome, but this is actually illegal!"

Jiang Chen forced himself to remain calm and slowly began to speak.

"Let's not talk about how you stole the nuclear weapons back."

"This single act alone is illegal!"
