Chapter 202: Chapter 201: Internet Sensation

"Given their mood, I’m afraid they might cause trouble. It would be best if you prepare yourself for it. Well, I won’t disturb Mr. Li any longer."

Once the suited man had made his point clear, he hung up the phone. Having said this much, he felt he had fulfilled his obligation to his long-standing client. Whatever happened next was out of his hands. After all, he was just a junior lawyer.

"Bang!"

The middle-aged man, hearing the dial tone on the phone, slammed the table with a forceful bang, his facial expression changing dramatically.

"Boss, what’s wrong?"

The beautiful woman who had just entered the office was startled to see the middle-aged man slamming his phone down. She immediately walked over, placed her hand on the middle-aged man’s shoulder, and cooed.

"Leave me alone and stay out of the way!"

His tone was particularly unfriendly as she almost stumbled to the ground.

The woman’s face stiffened again, but seeing the dark clouds on the middle-aged man’s face, she didn’t dare to say anything else. Her face showed a trace of grievance as she bowed her head and obediently moved aside, pouting her lips.

The middle-aged man ignored the woman’s expression. After a moment of changing facial emotions, he picked up his phone again and dialed a number.

"Boss, it’s bad, really bad!"

But before he could dial out, the office door was suddenly pushed open. A man in his twenties rushed in, panting and flustered.

"What’s the matter that you’re in such a hurry?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the young man who had burst in with dissatisfaction.

"Boss, it’s bad. Suddenly, there’s a lot of news online about what happened yesterday!"

Breathless, the young man couldn’t care less about the dissatisfaction on the middle-aged man’s face. Panting, he pointed to his phone and said, "Many Weibo accounts are sharing the incident from yesterday, and some websites have started to feature the news!"

With a loud "snap," the phone fell from the middle-aged man’s hand, but he was oblivious as he leapt from his chair, exclaiming in shock to the young man across from him, "What did you say?"

"Boss, have a look!"

The young man didn’t say anything else and simply handed over his phone.

"Dispute erupts at G City’s No. 16 Middle School involving a man!"

"While committing the assault, the man arrogantly shouted that he could kill them without responsibility, that everything was covered by his dad!"

"It is rumored that the man’s father is the owner of a construction company in G City and owns several KTVs and other entertainment venues."

"..."

Seeing the shocking Weibo posts, as well as the comments and shares, the middle-aged man felt a darkness before his eyes and nearly passed out on the spot. Although he wasn’t very active online, he knew all too well how terrifying and damaging such public statements could be.

In fact, the alarming number of Weibo shares made it quite evident.

"Call Xiaohan immediately, leave G City at once! No, never mind, I’ll go back right now."

It took a while for the middle-aged man to regain his composure. He started to give an order to the young man but quickly changed his mind. After speaking, he hurriedly grabbed his coat and rushed toward the office door.

"Boss, wait for me!"

The young man watched as the middle-aged man dashed out like a bolt of lightning. It took him a while to come to his senses before he also hurriedly ran out after him.

......

"It’s been forwarded over a thousand times!"

Wang Qingqing watched with excitement as the Weibo post she had just made swiftly exceeded five hundred shares and sparked a variety of indignant comments. Seeing the share count jump to 1000+, she let out an excited shriek. She was the first to post it and had not expected it to spread so quickly in just minutes, with the number of shares growing exponentially.

But immediately, she reined in her excitement and turned to Xiao Yi with a concerned look, asking, "Xiao Yi, do you think this will really be effective?"

"It’s already surpassed a thousand shares in such a short time, what do you think? Moreover, look..."

Xiao Yi smiled slightly at Wang Qingqing’s anxious demeanor while handing her his phone.

"This...is fantastic!"

Wang Qingqing let out a surprised cry of joy as she saw her post prominently displayed on the front page of the Weibo feed of one of the country’s largest internet portal sites.

As a modern college student, even though she didn’t specialize in internet studies and wasn’t particularly savvy about it, she was keenly aware of the site’s influence. With such exposure, she knew it wouldn’t take long for the post to become nationally known, reaching thousands upon thousands of people. The impact of her Weibo post would be even greater, and the public opinion campaign she sought would be that much more effective.

Xiao Yi watched her expression of surprise with a slight smile.

Just then, Wang Qingqing’s phone began ringing insistently. An unfamiliar number called in.

"Hello, this is XXX net. I apologize for the intrusion, but could we possibly interview you about the Weibo post you just made and the details of the incident?"

As soon as she answered the call, Wang Qingqing heard a very sweet voice. She hesitated for a moment before promptly responding, "Yes, of course."

"Great, first I would like to ask about the incident..."

"It all happened this way..."

"..."

"I can assure you that everything I’ve said is completely true. We are still at the Provincial People’s Hospital right now..."

"..."

Hearing Wang Qingqing answering the journalist’s questions on the phone and looking once again at the faces of the student’s parents at the door – less numb than before, now with a hint more of resolve, quietly talking to each other in excitement – Xiao Yi smiled slightly and turned to walk down the corridor, planning to wander aimlessly.

But he had only taken a few steps when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

Immediately afterward, he saw Zeng Xiaomei followed by several police officers in uniform, all rushing around the corner of the stairwell in a hurried manner. (To be continued.
