Trending!
A little-known internet influencer posted a video that somehow made it onto the trending page.
And it happened overnight!
The other influencers who had received the information all stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.
"Damn it! I was one step too late!"
In her room, a girl swept everything off the table.
At the same time, she quickly uploaded a video.
The little influencer whose video had gone trending had joined Doushi around the same time as her.
They were even in the same group.
Although they normally did not talk much, they all knew each other's backgrounds.
Watching an influencer no different from herself suddenly gain over a hundred thousand followers and continue receiving recommendations,
she felt nothing but jealousy.
"I wanted to wait and see what happened, but now it looks like I'm a complete idiot!"
After posting her video, she opened Doushi again.
But it was already too late. Countless influencers who had caught wind of it posted videos one after another and uploaded the evidence.
For a time, every recommendation feed was flooded with this kind of video.
Fortunately, the girl found some comfort in the fact that, although she had not received the terrifying traffic of the first person to seize the opportunity, she had still gained quite a lot.
In the comments, many viewers also showed an astonishing change in attitude.
"I never expected things to be like this!"
"Sigh, I was wrong before. I apologize here."
"The truth still hasn't fully come out, so I won't comment yet!"
Even more remarkably, early the next morning, some commentary influencers had already begun making and uploading videos.
They gave their own opinions on the matter.
Some were favorable, some unfavorable. Supporters and opponents were evenly split.
When Zhuang Xin got up that morning and saw this, he stretched lazily, his smile growing wider.
This was only the beginning. What came next...
would be an even more terrifying storm waiting for them...
If they thought this was the end, they were far too naive!
Fengyang News Agency.
Ningbo held his phone, his whole body trembling.
What...
was going on?
How had such a huge change happened overnight?
Were the things in these documents true or false?
They were completely different from what Father and Son Cheng had told him.
Back then, Father and Son Cheng's account had been half true and half false. They had embellished it, portraying Zhuang Xin as someone capable of every evil.
That was precisely why it had sounded so believable.
If Zhuang Xin had no evidence, he would have been unable to defend himself.
Ungrateful?
A life-saving favor?
Ridiculous!
Bang!
The door was slammed open, and Xu Pei and Father and Son Cheng rushed inside.
Xu Pei said excitedly, "Editor Ning, I already sent that brat a message just now and told him to prepare five million. Haha, when do you think we can collect the money?"
That was right!
They had just impatiently flaunted their power to Zhuang Xin, demanding that he immediately transfer five million over. They had even sent him their bank account number.
Their faces were full of smug satisfaction as they waited for Zhuang Xin to give in.
But those words made Ningbo grab the glass on his desk and hurl it at them.
With a bang, it struck Xu Pei squarely in the forehead.
Blood poured out without stopping!
Xu Pei screamed and collapsed to the floor.
Seeing his mother get hit, Cheng Huai rushed forward agitatedly. "Editor Ning, what are you doing? Didn't you say we were family now? I'm supposed to marry your younger sister in the future. How can you treat us like this?"
"Marry my younger sister? You brainless idiots! Take a look at this!" Ningbo was beside himself with rage. He stood up, his entire body shaking.
He threw his phone onto the desk and roared, "The internet is in complete uproar right now, and you personally delivered the evidence to them? A text message? You bunch of idiots!"
"And those things you told me—you swore again and again that they were true! So what now? What now? You three pig-brained fools!"
Cheng Huai froze. "The internet? What happened online?"
He picked up the phone from the desk and opened it. A video immediately appeared.
As they watched the documents exposed by the influencer in the video, their eyes widened with deep terror!
"Editor Ning, what do we do? If this gets confirmed, it'll be extortion!"
Cheng Huai was so frightened his scalp went numb.
Ningbo was so furious he nearly passed out. It had not originally counted as extortion, but these three idiots had sent that text message, making it genuine extortion. If it was investigated, they would all end up in prison.
"What do we do? Tell me the entire truth, exactly as it happened, right now! If there is even half a lie, not even the King of Heaven himself will be able to save you!"
"Th-this..."
Xu Pei and Father and Son Cheng wore miserable expressions and stammered...
before telling him everything.
After Ningbo heard the full story, he could not catch his breath and collapsed unconscious in his chair.
"Editor Ning, what's wrong with you?"
"Wah... Editor Ning, nothing can happen to you! What are we supposed to do if something happens to you?"
"Someone come quickly! Editor Ning has fainted!"
Soon afterward, the news agency staff rushed in and called emergency services.
Half an hour later, an ambulance took Ningbo away.
The three followed him to the hospital. An hour later, after he had been rescued, the doctor frowned and said, "The main symptom is myocardial hypoxia. A large amount of blood rushed to his brain and face, reducing the blood supply to his heart and causing myocardial hypoxia. In order to meet the body's needs, the heart had to work twice as hard. This made his heartbeat even more irregular, which led to the fainting."
"The patient's condition is not optimistic. If he had not been brought in on time, something serious might truly have happened. But he needs to remain in the hospital for observation. Are you his family? Sorry for the trouble, please take the bill and make the payment."
The moment they heard they had to pay, the three panicked. "Doctor, h-how much?"
"Pay thirty thousand first."
"What? Thirty thousand? We don't have that much money!" Xu Pei shouted excitedly.
"No money? Then borrow it. What kind of family members are you?"
"Ah, w-we're not family. We only brought him here."
"That's right, that's right. We don't know him at all!"
The three hurriedly fled. Once outside, Cheng Huai burst into tears and grabbed Xu Pei's hand. "Mom! What do we do? I don't want to go to prison!"
Xu Pei was trembling all over too, utterly at a loss.
She was only a rural woman who had never seen much of the world.
Being sharp-tongued and mean-spirited was in her nature, and greed had clouded her mind before.
Now that she thought back on it, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"How about we go back and find Grandma? Have Grandma help us. She has to save us!"
"Yes, wife, you should go back. Or... talk to Zhuang De and the others. After all, he's Zhuang Xin's father. If they speak up, it'll definitely work."
Xu Pei was already so frightened that she had lost all sense of direction. Hearing them say this was like grasping a lifeline. "Right, right, right! I'll go back now! I'll go find Xu Yunfang. Back when they borrowed money for medical treatment, I gave them four hundred yuan too."
As she spoke, she hailed a taxi and hurried home.
