Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover

Upon first laying eyes on Liu Zimo, Tang Yanhui had a phrase spring to mind.

"Don’t judge a book by its cover."

Originally, Tang Yanhui had anticipated seeing a fat, sleazy-looking figure, but reality starkly contradicted the expectation.

A tall and lean young man stood before him, with a delicate and gentle demeanor, radiating an artistic and melancholic aura.

If he had a guitar on his back, he would perfectly fit the image of a lovestruck prince.

"Are you the lawyer Ye Li hired?"

Liu Zimo exhibited disdain but became more reserved upon noticing the police officer beside Tang Yanhui. With a shrug, he said, "You saw my post too, didn’t you? I just made a comment about this being a society obsessed with looks, what’s wrong with that, did I violate some sacred law?"

"As for the rest, I can’t control what people say, can I?"

Liu Zimo was not the least bit intimidated by the fact that Ye Li had hired a lawyer, his face a mask of fearlessness.

At worst, he would just delete the post, wouldn’t he?

Or even be banned from his account for a week.

Wasn’t that how it always went in the past?

The way he carried himself, like an old hand at this, suggested a firm belief that the matter would not blow up, hence his boldness.

Tang Yanhui asked, "Where did you get those photos?"

Liu Zimo’s smile was smug, "Juniors and sophomores sent them to me."

The ID "Jasmine flower" had started as a mundane personal forum account, typically used to check out fun club events or other lively chatter.

During his freshman year, he happened to witness the campus beauty dating a man from society at a bar, where she lost all of her cool detachment, cooing and cuddling in his arms.

Whether out of drunken impulse or a deliberate attempt to discredit her,

Liu Zimo secretly snapped a photo and posted it in the forum.

Instantly, it went viral.

From then on, his ID became like an Imperial University paparazzi outlet, with people feeding him gossip daily, composing little stories.

Some were about girls catching their boyfriends cheating, the girls wanting to publicly shame the mistresses at Imperial University.

Others were about girls who cheated on their boyfriends, and with little evidence in hand, the boyfriends wanted to enlist fellow alumni to track down the culprits and tarnish the girls’ reputations.

Then there were the petty issues, like missing items from dorm rooms or overnight strangers.

Over time, "Jasmine flower" became a well-known entertainment hub at Imperial University, with people checking in his comments section every day to catch up on the latest gossip or have a laugh.

Some of the photos related to Ye Li in the popular post had been sent to him by students of Imperial University.

Others he had bought himself.

The bankruptcy of the Ye Family made the news, and with Ye Li’s father deceased and her mother gravely ill, both the entertainment and economics sections had reporters covertly tracking the story.

It was inevitable that images of Ye Li desperately borrowing money would be captured.

And the select few that made it into the forum posts had been carefully curated by Liu Zimo.

Constantly on Weibo and watching various short videos had given Liu Zimo a keen sense of which photos would strike a chord with male and female netizens.

As expected, the post exploded as soon as it went live.

Liu Zimo felt a dark satisfaction thinking about Ye Li, who used to be so out of reach, who would barely utter a reply when spoken to, descending to such a plight one day.

"I’ve already deleted the post."

Liu Zimo looked at Tang Yanhui with a smile, "An apology, you say? Sure, call Ye Li, and I’ll apologize to her face-to-face!"
