84: Chapter 84 The Internet Celebrity Prosecutor! I'm Going to Livestream the Entire Law Enforcement Process!

"Sit down, Chief Prosecutor Gao. Don't be nervous."

Lin Zhou personally poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him.

This gesture eased the tense atmosphere in the office quite a bit.

Gao Jian practically catapulted himself up, took the paper cup with both hands, sat with his back straight, and dared to occupy only one-third of the sofa, as if there were springs under his seat.

Despite being eloquent online, when facing this young Head of State, Gao Jian was still nervous enough to break into a cold sweat.

"Head of State, are you... are you really determined to let me, someone who hasn't even taken the bar exam, handle that subversion case?"

Gao Jian's voice trembled slightly.

This burden was too heavy.

"Of course."

Lin Zhou sat back in his executive chair, leaning slightly backward, with his hands crossed on the desk.

"You are the Chief Prosecutor, and this is your responsibility as well as your authority."

"More importantly," Lin Zhou tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, "I need someone who truly understands the law on the scene. We are building a modern state under the rule of law; all actions must have a legal basis and be well-founded."

"Even when facing some clowns, we must use the most formal methods to crush them into the ground."

Lin Zhou's words perked Gao Jian up.

His eyes lit up.

"I understand, Head of State." Gao Jian's voice grew much louder, and the previous nervousness vanished.

"I will go back immediately to draft an operational plan, clarifying which articles of our draft Criminal Law that Japanese internet celebrity's behavior has violated—whether it's incitement to subvert state power, illegal assembly, or picking quarrels and provoking trouble."

"I will also formulate a procedural set of warning, dispersal, and arrest protocols, ensuring they won't be able to find a single fault."

Watching him looking so fired up, Lin Zhou smiled.

This was the effect he wanted.

A nation's law enforcement power, making its debut before the world for the first time, could not look like street thugs brawling.

To win, one must win beautifully and with dignity.

Everyone must see that this newborn nation has both strength and respects the rules.

"A plan is necessary." Lin Zhou nodded and asked again, "However, I called you here today because I want to hear if you have any special thoughts on this operation."

"My thoughts?"

Gao Jian was stunned.

He had assumed he was just an executor, with the Head of State giving orders and him leading the charge.

He hadn't expected the Head of State to ask for his opinion.

Gao Jian lowered his head, his brain racing.

What was the implication behind the Head of State's words?

Just to expel an internet celebrity?

No, that was thinking too small.

This operation might superficially be about dealing with a provocateur, but in reality, it was a declaration to the whole world, a live broadcast of the assertion of national sovereignty.

Thinking of the words "live broadcast," a flash of inspiration struck Gao Jian.

He looked up abruptly, his breathing becoming slightly rapid.

"Head of State, I... I have a very bold request."

Lin Zhou made a "please" gesture: "Let's hear it."

Gao Jian clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.

"I hope... to livestream this law enforcement operation across the entire internet."

As soon as this suggestion was made, even Lin Zhou raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected this young Chief Prosecutor's thinking to jump to such an extent.

Turning a law enforcement scene into a livestream room?

This approach was too wild.

Seeing that Lin Zhou didn't immediately oppose it, Gao Jian's courage grew, and he spoke faster:

"Head of State, think about it. Why does that Japanese internet celebrity dare to be so arrogant? Isn't it because he has a camera in his hand, can livestream, and attract the world's attention?"

"He wants to use public opinion to attack us and shape us into a barbaric and domineering image."

"Then why can't we fight back in the same way?"

"He broadcasts his, we broadcast ours. We point the cameras at our own people, letting the whole world see how our police warn, how they disperse, and how they enforce the law civilly step by step. Let the whole world listen to how our prosecutors explain our country's laws to him word for word."

"We can even open an official livestream room; I've already thought of the title—'Full Record of the First Law Enforcement Operation by the Cyber Freedom Republic Supreme Prosecutor's Office'."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, his face flushed red.

"Head of State, this could ignite the global network; it's more persuasive than any diplomatic rhetoric or protest statement. This is a public lesson on national sovereignty aimed at the whole world."

Lin Zhou looked at the high-spirited young man before him and nodded.

Others only saw Gao Jian's youth and inexperience. But what Lin Zhou saw was the drive and daring spirit in this kid.

A Chief Prosecutor actually wanted to turn his first law enforcement operation into a globally sensationalized internet livestream show.

This idea was simply unorthodox.

But damn it, it hit the core of the problem perfectly.

"Your idea is excellent." Lin Zhou directly expressed his approval.

"I agree."

"Livestream equipment, technical support, and network bandwidth will be handled by the state. I will have Wang Dong's e-commerce team provide you with technical support to ensure the livestream is high-definition and smooth, visible to the whole world."

"Thank you, Head of State. Thank you, Head of State."

Gao Jian stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Zhou.

"Don't rush to thank me." Lin Zhou waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, his expression becoming serious.

"The livestream can happen, but there are three iron rules you must engrave in your mind."

"First, safety. Your personal safety and that of the law enforcement personnel you lead are the highest priority; not a single one of your people can be lost."

"Second, civility. The entire process must reflect professionalism and restraint; we are a sovereign state. Hitting people doesn't solve problems; striking at the heart does. Warnings and dispersal—do not use compulsory measures unless absolutely necessary."

"Third, reason. The law is our weapon. You must let everyone in front of the screen, regardless of their skin color or language, clearly see our stance and legal basis. Let the whole world see why we are taking action."

These three iron rules carried significant weight.

After hearing this, Gao Jian stood up straight abruptly.

"I understand, Head of State. I will keep this in mind and not fail your trust."

"Go and prepare, Chief Prosecutor Gao."

Lin Zhou also stood up, walked over to Gao Jian, and reached out to pat his still somewhat thin shoulder.

"Our nation's judicial system's first official action depends on whether you... can execute it beautifully."

Gao Jian nodded heavily and turned to leave.

When he arrived, Gao Jian was still a bit apprehensive.

When he left, his back was filled with a sense of mission, his spine straight.

After seeing Gao Jian off, the corners of Lin Zhou's mouth curled up slightly.

He Jun's police force is responsible for execution; Gao Jian's prosecutor system is responsible for legal principles.

Now, the law enforcement power and legal basis were both prepared.

Everything was ready; they were just waiting for the right moment to announce it to the world.

He picked up the internal phone on the desk and connected to the secretariat.

"Send out the notice: schedule it for three days from now, at the same five-star hotel banquet hall as last time."

"This time, we are going to hold a ceremony even grander than the diplomatic establishment ceremony."

The secretary on the other end of the line listened with bated breath.

They only heard Lin Zhou say in a calm and unquestionable voice:

"This is not only an appointment ceremony for new officials, but also a grand conferral ceremony for the titles of all the founding fathers."

"At this ceremony, I want to reaffirm the territory and stance of my Cyber Freedom Republic to the whole world."

"I want that jumping Japanese internet celebrity, as well as all the opportunists hiding in the shadows, to see clearly—"

"This land already has a master."

"And its master is not to be trifled with."
