C20 Everyone Says Different Things!

Suddenly, the whole internet was abuzz with the topic of Xu Wenn.

This raised a question: didn't anyone harbor any doubts?

The lack of suspicion boiled down to three main reasons.

First and foremost, Zhou Baobao and her entertainment company had powerful backers stirring the pot from the shadows!

Secondly, the public's ability to discern the truth was lacking, or perhaps Zhou Baobao's acting was so convincing that it blinded the majority.

The third and equally critical point was the relentless online vilification of Xu Wenn, which had tarnished his reputation to the point where he was vilified like a pariah in the streets!

Despite being the target of widespread contempt, Xu Wenn, the victim, remained silent.

Moreover, those who attempted to defend Xu Wenn were virtually cyberbullied into silence, deterring anyone from speaking out against the tide of opinion.

This naturally raised some eyebrows in skepticism.

"Xu Wenn must be terrified, lacking even the courage to speak up!"

"That sounds about right. Wasn't he notoriously arrogant before? He even had the power to ban influential bloggers with huge followings!"

"Why the silence when there's talk of a thorough investigation into him and his associates?"

"What do you think is happening? It suggests that Xu Wenn must be hiding something scandalous! We need to expose Xu Wenn and anyone in his corner!"

"Now, I'm actually feeling sorry for Zhou Baobao. How can such a gentle and fragile girl endure such an ordeal? I urge everyone to come together and fight for justice on behalf of Zhou Baobao!"

Comments like these were innumerable.

The issue had become the internet's latest sensation.

Lu Suiyuan, the chairman of Kun Roc Scientific Research Company, had been restless for days, his hair nearly gone from stress, yet he couldn't stop sighing with worry.

"Dad, what's been bothering you lately? You seem so preoccupied," Lu Suiyuan's daughter asked with concern.

With a sigh, Lu Suiyuan recounted the events: "Some time ago, a bunch of people online started spreading rumors without knowing the truth. We tried everything to clear our name, but now, things have spiraled out of control!"

Lu Suiyuan's daughter had a sudden stroke of inspiration and suggested, "Why don't we meet with the leaders in Dinghai City? They're bound to give us an explanation! This incident occurred within their jurisdiction, so they can't just ignore it."

Hearing this, Lu Suiyuan felt as though he had been jolted awake from a deep slumber.

"You're absolutely right! I've been so focused on contributing to our motherland through our research that I overlooked the fact that we fall under Dinghai City's authority. We definitely need to meet with the officials there!"

"Then let's not waste any time and reach out to the higher-ups immediately!"

Without delay, Lu Suiyuan, armed with his identification, accompanied by his daughter and armed with the original videos, made his way to the office of the Mayor of Dinghai City.

Upon presenting their credentials, Lu Suiyuan and his daughter were granted the meeting with Jin Shizong they had been hoping for.

Jin Shizong was somewhat of a local celebrity, with a lineage of farmers stretching back three generations.

Yet, through sheer determination and skill, he had ascended to his current esteemed position.

What stood out most was his upbringing in the wheat fields, which instilled in him the ability to view issues through the lens of the common folk.

He made it his mission to thoroughly investigate any matter within his purview, striving to shield his constituents from undue distress.

Lu Suiyuan took in the sight of Jin Shizong before him: dressed in unassuming attire, his square face a testament to resolve, with bushy eyebrows, full lips, and a gentle smile that conveyed a deep commitment to public service.

"So, you're Lu Suiyuan from Dinghai Kun Roc Scientific Research Company?" Jin Shizong's voice was crisp and devoid of any hint of arrogance or sycophancy.

The way Jin Shizong carried himself only reinforced Lu Suiyuan's belief that he could be of assistance.

He was confident that a man of such integrity would never allow his people to be swayed by unfounded gossip.

After a brief discussion, Lu Suiyuan laid out the entire situation for Jin Shizong, who then learned for the first time that Xu Wenn had been wrongfully accused.

"Mr. Lu, talking won't change the situation. What I need is concrete evidence. If you can substantiate Xu Wenn's innocence or attest to his character, I will ensure that those spreading falsehoods face stern consequences," Jin Shizong declared with conviction.

Lu Suiyuan was well-prepared and had anticipated what Jin Shizong might say.

Upon hearing Jin's request, he quickly retrieved a stack of documents from a folder and handed them over. "These outline Xu Wenn's scientific achievements and his personal resume."

Jin Shizong meticulously reviewed the documents. After some time, he set them aside and exhaled deeply. "I never imagined that a hero who has contributed so much to our nation's scientific endeavors could be slandered as a criminal who disrespects the law and harasses women. It's preposterous!"

With firm conviction, Jin Shizong declared, "Rest assured, Mr. Lu, we will spare no effort in resolving this issue. We won't wrongfully accuse an innocent person, nor will we coddle a wrongdoer. If the evidence confirms the truth, we will shut down those spreading slander. And for the most egregious offenders, severe punishment awaits!"

"Thank you immensely, Officer Jin," Lu Suiyuan expressed with relief. "If Xu Wenn weren't so engrossed in his project, I would have had him address this online himself. But the public's outcry has become overwhelming, and the narrative is distorting!"

Comforted by Jin Shizong's assurances, Lu Suiyuan thanked him and returned home, now eager to see how the situation would unfold.

In just half a day, Jin Shizong had engaged in a thorough discussion with his superior. "How can such an incident occur under our watch? I was even advised to probe into Xu Wenn and his associates for any criminal past."

"Are you kidding me? Had you not informed me, I might have already initiated an investigation into Xu Wenn!"

That very afternoon, the leader of Dinghai City summoned all the politicians for an urgent meeting. He ordered a complete media blackout on all news, platforms, and content related to Xu Wenn.

Furthermore, he insisted on a meticulous examination of the online rumors, demanding the removal of related videos and the suspension of comments.

He also personally reached out to several bloggers involved in the incident, instructing them to cease their activities immediately.

This matter touched upon a national secret, and continued involvement would result in severe repercussions.
