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

The live stream went silent instantly.

The comments paused for a fraction of a second, then started flooding the screen!

【？？？？？】

Wait! What does this mean?!

Is it possible to bring the cultural relics back? How can this be done?

[Wait... Dude, what exactly are you teaching?!]

Good grief... Is a lawless outlaw about to be released?

【I'm ready! I'm ready! Tell me!】

Jiang Chen looked at the screen full of comments and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Normally speaking, if you steal cultural relics but can't take them on a plane, Great Britain won't let you take them away either."

"But before that, I'd like to ask a question."

"In your opinion, does taking back what was stolen from you by a thief count as theft?"

Upon hearing this question, the student thought for a moment, and his attitude gradually became firm.

"No!"

"That was originally mine. Someone stole it, so why can't I steal it back?"

Jiang Chen smiled, her eyebrows curving slightly.

"That's right!"

"So, back to the original question, if you stole cultural relics, was your purpose to return them to the state?"

The boy hummed in agreement.

He didn't have much personal motive in this regard.

After all, buying and selling cultural relics is illegal in China.

"Just because it's being handed over to the country doesn't mean you have to come back."

"Other national institutions can also act as agents for receiving and accepting cultural relics, such as... the Chinese Embassy!"

Upon hearing this, countless people couldn't help but gasp in shock.

That student also suddenly realized the truth.

"And also," Jiang Chen added.

"If you don't tell me, how will anyone know your artifacts were stolen?"

"You might have found it in a trash can, caught it while fishing in the river, or picked it up from a roadside stall for two yuan—it's an ownerless cultural relic!"

"According to our country's Cultural Relics Protection Law, cultural relics handed over need to undergo various tests, but the Chinese Embassy cannot conduct such tests."

"The artifacts can only be brought back to China. As the discoverer of these artifacts, they will naturally be brought back to China and receive recognition!"

"Of course, if the British Museum pursues the return of the funds, that becomes a diplomatic issue, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Through repeated back and forth, they actually managed to turn the unreasonable into the reasonable!

The student swallowed nervously.

Good guy!

This operation is flawless!

[Beetroot! Jiang Chen is practically a beetroot!]

[Since the artifacts are in the hands of the embassy and not considered private property, they can be taken on the plane!]

But doesn't this artifact still belong to the British Museum? Even if it's handed over... it still has to be returned later, right? This artifact was probably bought by the British Museum at auction!

[Hehe... Anyone with a bit of common sense knows that while our country allows the trade of antiques, it doesn't allow the trade of cultural relics! Cultural relics belong solely to the state!]

[That's absolutely right! The British Museum can't get them back either. After all, everyone knows they looted artifacts from us, and they still refuse to return them!]

[Niu Boyi! This is the pretext for submitting it to the higher authorities!]

This is exploiting a loophole; I only found out today that he had this kind of tactic!

"I understand, Brother Jiang, thank you."

The classmate left those words and then ended the call.

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, but still kindly offered a reminder.

"Classmate, I didn't teach you anything, I was just giving an example... just an example!"

This last sentence pertains to emergency avoidance!

Just like the saying goes: If you cause trouble in the future, it's enough not to mention your master!

Jiang Chen glanced at the list of requests to connect with the live stream; the number was still 99+.

I glanced at the time; there was still some time before I arrived at the station.

"One more, please! And feel free to ask me any other legal questions!"

He casually ordered another one.

The other person's ID is "I really don't know if feelings can develop over time, all I know is that my back will hurt."

As for the profile picture, it was completely black.

The call connected, and a young man's voice came from the other end, sounding clearly hesitant and nervous.

"Um... Hello, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Hello, what legal questions do you have?"

"I...I have a friend."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen sat up straight.

Friend Substitute Technique?

The man cleared his throat and continued speaking.

"My friend recently found a female roommate to share an apartment with."

"It's just a regular shared apartment, where you split the rent!"

"Then that night, he was just about to give her the money for the shared apartment when the police suddenly walked in..."

"I just want to ask, in this situation... it shouldn't be illegal, right?"

The words fell.

The live stream went silent for a moment.

Jiang Chen's expression changed from serious to blank, and then blankness turned into silence.

He remained silent for a full three seconds.

The comments section exploded instantly!

【？？？？？】

[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Look at Jiang Chen's expression!]

He fell silent!

"The police have arrived? That's a lot to say!"

[Shared apartment, opposite sex, at night, paying money, police coming in... these words together just don't seem right!]

[“I have a friend”, those who know, know!]

So, is it illegal or not? I need an answer urgently, I have a friend with that problem too!

[Upstairs, is that friend of yours?]

Stop messing around, let Jiang Chen answer! I want to know too!

Jiang Chen took a deep breath and rubbed his temples.

Damn it, what kind of difficult questions are you giving me!

Hey Chovy, you can ask me your questions now!

How the hell do you ask questions?!

However, from the perspective of a professional lawyer, Jiang Chen was still able to give the most serious answer.

Okay, I'll answer you seriously.

"First, I need to clarify one thing: the money you mentioned for sharing the apartment is indeed the rent, right?"

The man opposite immediately chimed in, "Yes! It's the rent! Just the rent!"

"And they sleep in separate beds, there's nothing else between them!"

"They were all dressed neatly when we gave them the money that day!"

Jiang Chen's lips twitched, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead.

"You don't need to add so much explanation."

"The more you add, the more suspicious I become!"

The comments section was filled with laughter.

[Hahahaha, this is a classic case of protesting too much!]

["Neat and tidy" is the key word, pay attention!]

Jiang Chen: You don't need to explain. Your explanation would just be a cover-up!

So, is it illegal or not?

Jiang Chen cleared his throat and said seriously, "First of all, legally speaking, co-renting with someone of the opposite sex is not illegal at all."

"As long as you have a normal rental relationship and there is no wrongdoing, you won't be in trouble even if the police come."

The problem is—why did the police come?

Jiang Chen held up two fingers.

"If someone reports you for suspected prostitution, and the police respond to the investigation, that's normal law enforcement action!"

"At this point, you need to prove two things."

"First, you are indeed roommates, and you have a formal lease agreement!"

"Secondly, there are clear and verifiable records of your financial transactions, such as mobile phone transfer notes with rent in the remarks, bank statements, receipts, etc."

"With these two items, the police can verify everything, and there won't be any problems."

"If your friend doesn't even have a rental agreement, and the two of you are sharing a room, and the transfer notes are unclear..."

"It's perfectly reasonable for the police to suspect you!"

The screen was instantly flooded with comments:

Got it! Make sure to include the rent in the remarks! Important!

[I've already noted this down: Contract + Rent Note = Legal!]

Jiang Chen, how can you teach anything?!

Is this supposed to be legitimate legal education?!

[What's wrong with that? They're talking about serious law!]

Indeed, legally, as long as you can prove it's a normal shared rental, there shouldn't be any problem!

The problem is, for many people, sharing an apartment isn't really sharing an apartment at all, hahaha!
