An Elder Gone Bad and a Minor Child

An Elder Gone Bad and a Minor Child

Just as Wang Yue had predicted, their information was released in time. Before the matter could blow up any further, netizens learned the truth, and a lot of rubberneckers immediately lost interest in the gossip. After all, compared with a police officer beating someone, a family dispute between a police officer and his father wasn't nearly as attention-grabbing.

Of course, plenty of idle people were still bored enough to seize on anything that caught their interest. They continued to criticize Li Dawei for treating his father that way, saying it was simply wrong of him.

But Wang Yue didn't need to step in. Li Dawei might have been a chatterbox, but he was also warmhearted and had plenty of close friends from school. They took it upon themselves to fight back against that small group of critics.

The two sides were evenly matched online, and with Wang Yue keeping things on track, it didn't lead to any negative fallout. At most, it was just a somewhat popular post.

When Li Dawei came back, the post hadn't caused much of a stir, but he still couldn't escape a scolding from Director Wang and his mentor. After all, he'd been far too impulsive. He and his father had plenty of better ways to handle things, but he'd chosen the dumbest one.

Li Dawei accepted his punishment without complaint this time. Thanks to the whole station pulling together, the municipal bureau hadn't taken notice, and they'd managed to weather the crisis. So after the director reprimanded him, he learned that Wang Yue and Xia Jie had helped keep him from making a bigger mess. He obediently went to write his five-thousand-word statement of self-criticism.

Li Dawei was profoundly grateful to Wang Yue and Xia Jie.
