Caught the Culprit: White Family's Paid Meeting with Jiang Fang Exposed!

There was some distance between the filming location and where the incident occurred. In the video, they only heard Jiang Fang shout, "Watch out!" Then they saw sulfuric acid splashed onto Jiang Fang, smoke rising in bursts almost instantly.

[Holy crap! It really was concentrated sulfuric acid. Even from so far away, I can practically hear it sizzling.]

[Was he hurt? Oh my god, Jiang Fang was so brave!]

[Ahhh, take off the clothes! Find water! Running water! React quickly! If they miss the golden window for self-rescue, concentrated sulfuric acid will react with the water in the human body, causing the skin to dehydrate and carbonize. In serious cases, it can reach the bones!]

Jiang Fang and Qin Yan's quick reactions in the video made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but they were all watching closely to see how badly he had been hurt.

Just from Jiang Fang's expression and Qin Yan's movements as he helped him, it was obvious he had definitely been injured.

[Wuwuwu, thank goodness Jiang Fang was wrapped up tightly today. His hoodie was thick, and he even had the hood up. A blessing in disguise.]

[What kind of person does that? How vicious. Who did Jiang Fang and Qin Yan provoke? One is an actor, and the other is a student about to start college. If that bottle of sulfuric acid had landed properly, their lives would have been ruined.]

At that moment, everyone watching the video was on edge.

Where had he been injured? Was it serious? How was he doing?

Regardless of age or gender, some thought of their grandsons and granddaughters, some of their sons and daughters, and some of themselves. Who knew whether they might one day encounter some lunatic splashing acid on the street? The odds were low, but if it happened, it would become a shadow that followed them for the rest of their lives.

So how had that woman gotten hold of so much concentrated sulfuric acid?

And how had she found this place?

Questions piled up one after another, but the video continued, and everyone could only temporarily keep their doubts to themselves.

In the video, Qin Yan was about to look for water when he saw a middle-aged or elderly man running over with a hose used for watering flowers. He immediately began flushing the wound.

Only then did everyone come back to their senses.

Many people watching in front of their screens had been holding their breath in fear. Now, they were taking deep gulps of air.

[Thank goodness, thank goodness! A blessing in disguise—the first-aid response was fast, and there happened to be a source of running water nearby. First remove the clothing contaminated with concentrated sulfuric acid, use clean clothing to absorb the excess acid around the wound, then flush it with water. That was practically textbook self-rescue.]

[If you zoom in, you can see that in just over ten seconds, the wound went from white to scorched yellow, then carbonized and blackened. Jiang Fang and the others reacted quickly enough, but concentrated sulfuric acid corroded the human body even faster. Thank goodness only the back of his hand and wrist were injured.]

[How did such a dangerous chemical as concentrated sulfuric acid end up in an ordinary person's hands? @City B Public Security Bureau Please investigate thoroughly!]

[Wuwuwu, I nearly had a heart attack. As a Qin fan, thank you, Jiang Fang. If he hadn't blocked it, if it had splashed onto Brother Qin... I don't even dare think about it.]

Everyone could clearly see the direction Qin Yan had been facing.

If it had splashed onto Qin Yan, his head, neck, and back would all have been affected. If that had really happened, he would have needed years of recovery, perhaps even had to leave the entertainment industry altogether.

At this point, some eagle-eyed netizens also found clues about the woman who had thrown the acid.

[When I zoomed in, wasn't that lunatic wearing Bai Ziyu fan support merch? Fuck, was she a Bai Ziyu fan? That insane?]

[Former fan raising my hand. It really was fan support merch. Which of his fans still isn't insane? The rational ones quit the fandom ages ago, and even turned on him!! I'm so mad. Every time I think about how I spent my youth stanning that piece of trash, I want to throw myself back into the furnace and start over.]

[Damn, like idol, like fan, huh? The idol was arrested for attempted murder, and the fan threw sulfuric acid. Is she trying to go to jail and keep him company? I don't get it. Have these fans all been brainwashed?]

Being splashed with sulfuric acid on the street was no longer just entertainment news. What was more, the fact that the woman in the video had so easily obtained concentrated sulfuric acid to attack someone had already sparked panic.

Countless people discussed it, with the number of people participating in real-time discussions surpassing one hundred million.

Once people learned that the woman who had thrown the acid was a Bai Ziyu fan, they all had the same thought: Had Jiang Fang dug up Bai Ziyu's ancestral grave or something?

Bai Ziyu and his fans would not rest until they either killed Jiang Fang or crippled him.

Fast-moving media accounts had already caught the scent of traffic and begun digging into the relationship between the two.

Unfortunately, no matter how deeply they dug, they reached only one conclusion: the two truly had no connection.

But there was one strange point—Bai Ziyu had recommended Jiang Fang for the variety show. With so many artists in the industry, why had Bai Ziyu recommended someone he did not even know?

It made no sense.

Still, although they had not found any connection between the two, someone discovered an unexpected scoop.

Bai Ziyu was actually the adopted son of the White family from White Group!!!

No one had expected that.

After all, given Bai Ziyu's personality, having such an impressive family background and not showing it off did not fit his image at all.

Following the White family lead, they dug deeper. And hey, they really uncovered explosive news.

Mrs. White had arranged to meet Jiang Fang, seemingly intending to use money to make him go away. When they failed to reach an agreement, she had even smashed a cup.

Big news! Absolutely huge news!

Some of the people who uncovered this information took the photos to the White family and demanded hush money, while others posted them online directly, giving the White family no time to react.

Thus, the trending searches exploded again.

#Bai Ziyu's True Identity: White Family's Eldest Young Master?#

#White Family Tried to Solve the Problem with Money, Then Turned Hostile on the Spot?#

The moment the news came out, it was no different from shoving the White family directly into the eye of the storm.

[Huh? As expected of a wealthy family. They think they can settle even murder with money? The police should investigate them more thoroughly. Maybe there are other matters too.]

[Don't just suggest the police investigate. Let a public security bureau from another jurisdiction handle the case. Those who know, know.]

[White family's eldest young master? The White family's eldest son died when he was little. Bai Ziyu is only an adopted son, and there's also the White family's biological younger son. He only has the White family name, that's all.]

[Fuck, I suddenly had an idea. Could Jiang Fang be the White family's eldest son? That would explain Bai Ziyu trying to murder him.]

[Wild imagination, but unfortunately no. The White family's eldest son died at a very young age. Another piece of information: The White family's younger son, Bai Zixiao, now has a very bad relationship with Bai Ziyu. He has even been demanding to change his name so he won't share one with Bai Ziyu.]

City B Public Security Bureau had not expected that handling a case would drag them into the mess as well, so they issued a statement overnight.

[@City B Public Security Bureau V: Recently, the case of Bai's attempted murder has stirred up controversy online. City B Public Security Bureau hereby sternly condemns those spreading rumors. The Public Security Bureau will investigate Bai's parents as soon as possible, and if the matter is confirmed, punishment will be imposed.]

[At present, our bureau has not received any request from the victim to withdraw the lawsuit. The public may also rest assured that even if the victim withdraws the lawsuit, attempted murder is a criminal case, and the procuratorate will initiate a public prosecution. In other words, regardless of what the victim wants, it will not affect the final outcome of the case.]

Once the Public Security Bureau's statement was released, everyone finally felt reassured.

Thank goodness, thank goodness. Bai Ziyu was definitely going to prison.

With that matter settled, everyone watched the news about Mrs. White with a gossiping mindset, treating it as a joke to discuss after meals.

However, the White family's actions had angered the public, and White Group's stock price kept falling.

White Group Tower, downtown.

Office.

"President Bai, the rumors online are still spreading, and the company's stock price has already begun to decline."

Bai Yelei rubbed the bridge of his nose wearily and nodded to indicate that he understood.

When the paparazzi had sent him the photos, he had realized how serious the situation was. But before he could do anything, the news had already broken.

Whenever he thought of Bai Ziyu now, Bai Yelei could not stop the regret rising in his heart. Why had he let his wife adopt him back then?

If Zi Shu had...

Thinking of his eldest son, Bai Yelei could not help but feel heartache. That had been the precious child he and Ning Yu had waited so many years for. To give his beloved son and wife a good life, he had gone out and worked his way up to his current position, but Zi Shu was already gone.

Ever since that incident, his wife's mental state had never been good. After adopting Bai Ziyu, the atmosphere at home improved for a while, but only for a while.

Later, Zixiao was born. For some reason, the boy would cry the moment he saw Bai Ziyu.

To be honest, Bai Yelei did not like Bai Ziyu, even if he might have been Zi Shu's savior.

Perhaps their auras simply clashed.

Later, when Zixiao grew up, he disliked Bai Ziyu even more and simply moved out.

Bai Yelei himself had also argued with his wife, Ning Yu, many times because of Bai Ziyu.

Bai Yelei could not understand why their once happy and harmonious family had become like this.

The lonelier and more difficult life became, the more he missed the happy image of their family of three back then. If he had paid more attention to the family back then, would Zi Shu not have met with disaster? Would their family not have become what it was now?

He sighed, composed himself, and continued working.

Hospital.

"The treatment was timely, so there's no major problem. There may just be scarring."

"I'll prescribe some medicine for treatment and scar removal... Remember to come back to the hospital for a follow-up in a month. If you need further scar treatment later, you can consider skin grafting or laser treatment." The emergency doctor examined Jiang Fang's wound and gave him instructions.

Although he was older and did not follow entertainment news, plenty of people had watched and discussed the two handsome young men all the way in. He had overheard quite a bit himself.

Besides, Qin Yan was a Best Actor with good acting skills, so the elderly doctor recognized him to some extent.

"You were lucky this time. It only touched this small area. Be more careful in the future. If you notice something is wrong, leave immediately." The elderly doctor spoke at length as he looked at Jiang Fang, who was about the same age as his granddaughter.

Faced with the elderly doctor's rambling, Jiang Fang obediently nodded.

Why else would he be Fang the kitty? He respected the elderly and cared for the young; he just went all out when fleecing people his own age.

A cat through and through.

The more the elderly doctor looked at him, the more he liked him. If there had not been other patients waiting, Jiang Fang felt the doctor could have chatted with him for another hundred bucks' worth.

Before they had finished chatting, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

The three of them turned to look.

It was the police.

"You're Jiang Fang, right?" Two officers stood at the door and asked.

Jiang Fang nodded.

"Here's the situation: we caught the culprit, and we came to check on your condition," the officers explained. Then they looked at the elderly doctor. "Doctor, how is he? The case still requires his cooperation."

The elderly doctor nodded. "He was lucky. His condition isn't serious. After the medicine is applied, he can go with you." He paused, hesitated for a moment, then added, "Officer, throwing sulfuric acid is no small matter. This boy was purely lucky. His clothes were thick enough. Otherwise, the rest of his life might have been ruined."

The officers at the door smiled.

"Please rest assured, this matter will definitely be handled seriously."

That was what they said, but everyone understood that cases like this were generally sentenced according to the part of the body that had been splashed and the severity of the injury. At most, it would be attempted intentional serious injury. Why did many victims who had experienced similar cases ultimately choose to accept money and settle?

Because attempted intentional injury could result in only a few days of detention at the lightest, and no more than three years at the heaviest.

Even if the victim suffered serious injuries, the culprit might only receive a few years in prison, never more than ten.

Someone else's lifetime, for the culprit's few years.

Would Jiang Fang accept such an outcome?

Of course.

Not.
