205: Chapter 205 Su Lingyin's Counterattack

Chen Yu returned home happily.

In his spare time, he scrolled through his private messages.

He was supposed to "go to work" tomorrow, and his fans currently had a lot of opinions about him.

But the messages that caught his eye were a bit different from what he had imagined.

[Chen Yu, take a look quickly, your ex-girlfriend is badmouthing you again!]

[Chen Yu, are you still alive? Hurry up and clarify things.]

"Interesting." Chen Yu had a smile on his lips, as if he were just watching the excitement.

He walked to the kitchen, opened the fridge, and took out a bottle of iced soda; the condensation on the bottle instantly wetted his palm.

He came back to sit on the sofa and took a big gulp, the cold liquid sliding down his throat.

"Burp! Refreshing!"

"Is that all she's got?"

The old history between him and Lou Bingan was as trivial as shattered glass shards; he had long since been too lazy to pick them up piece by piece to look at them.

Yet, it was being dragged out again like reheating old rice.

This damn stuff has become like a pre-prepared meal; can it be eaten whenever one wants?

Today, they could even eat something from a year ago.

"Heh." He gave a light sneer, not knowing whether he was laughing at his fans' sense of impending doom or at his own inescapable "ex-boyfriend" label.

He casually posted on Weibo: [Trash contestant, stay away.]

Fan comments—

[Holy crap, Chen Yu finally came back to life!]

[He's only responding to such a big matter now? Is he feeling guilty?]

Chen Yu: [I was taking my girlfriend to meet my parents, who has time for such trivial matters?]

Fans: [Another day of being fed dog food.]

[For real? Are you guys already engaged?]

[Didn't they say dating shows are all about contract couples? Are you guys for real?]

Su Lingyin had just finished washing up after getting home when she saw Chen Yu's Weibo post.

So she contacted him on Green Bubble.

Su Lingyin: [Are you okay?]

Chen Yu: [I'm fine, why?]

Su Lingyin: [I saw your Weibo. Do you need help? Remember, I'm a lawyer!]

Chen Yu: [Don't pay them any mind. The more they fuss, the harder it is to end. If it gets too big, it'll just be free marketing for her.]

Chen Yu didn't want Su Lingyin to get involved. Not all netizens have brains; if some malicious water army attacked her Weibo, it would be quite annoying.

Su Lingyin: [I can't help but get involved now; people have already started leaving comments on my Weibo.]

Su Lingyin saw the increasing number of malicious comments and personal attacks in her Weibo comment section.

She didn't get angry; instead, a knowing, professional smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.

She opened her computer. Instead of replying to any insulting comments immediately, she calmly began the following operations.

Securing evidence—this is the first step in any legal action.

Su Lingyin skillfully recorded the screen and took high-definition screenshots of all comment pages and personal homepages containing insulting or defamatory remarks, ensuring that every attacker's username, ID, posting time, and content were clearly visible.

She also created a dedicated folder to save these pieces of evidence by category.

Then she issued a professional statement. There was no need to argue with haters; it wasn't worth it.

A moment later, she posted a new Weibo. The style of this post was completely different from her usual way of sharing her life; it was full of calm professionalism.

[Solemn Statement from Lawyer Su Lingyin]

Recently, on social media platforms, I have discovered that some users have published a large number of remarks containing insults, defamation, and personal attacks against me.

The aforementioned remarks not only seriously infringe upon my right to reputation and damage the cleanliness of the online environment but are also suspected of being illegal.

According to the Civil Code, the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, and relevant judicial interpretations, cyberspace is not a place outside the law. Using information networks to infringe upon the reputation rights of others requires corresponding legal responsibility.

I have now completed the securing of evidence (screenshots, screen recordings, and source tracing) for the relevant infringing remarks in accordance with the law.

I hereby warn all infringers:

Please immediately stop all infringing acts and delete the relevant infringing content on your own.

I reserve all rights to pursue legal responsibility against all infringers.

Do not mistake a lawyer's calmness and restraint for acquiescence and indulgence of illegal acts.

This is hereby stated.

After posting the statement, Su Lingyin chose one or two comments that were the loudest and most vicious to reply to.

But she wouldn't get upset; her replies would be brief and powerful:

To a certain comment calling her a "clout chaser who wants to be famous":

Su Lingyin replied: "Screenshot taken, evidence preservation number 20220917-003. Your remarks already constitute defamation, and continued spread will likely be considered a factor in sentencing."

*To a certain comment cursing her family:

Su Lingyin replied: "Cyberbullying others can constitute the 'crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble' if the circumstances are serious. Your ID and remarks have been recorded (No. 20220917-012). I suggest you take the initiative to delete them and apologize to the public; otherwise, the next step will be to report your real-name authenticated account to the platform for banning and to the police."

Su Lingyin's Weibo posts and her professional replies were quickly forwarded by fans and onlookers.

#Lawyer Su Lingyin's Statement#

It immediately hit the trending searches!

Public opinion shifted instantly!

Netizen comments turned into:

[Holy cow! Sis is so cool! Crush them with the law!]

[This is a high-level response—no noise, just straight-up getting ready to send you guys in.]

[Why did the people who were cursing before all quietly delete their posts? Scared now?]

[The Law-Abiding CP is real! One confronts head-on, the other handles legal support! What a divine combination!]

The vast majority of abusers quickly and quietly deleted their comments.

Because they realized they had kicked a steel plate; the opponent wasn't an emotional public figure but a professional who could use professional legal weapons.

Chen Yu called her immediately after seeing it, his tone surely full of admiration and amusement: "Lawyer Su, this... isn't this a bit too professional? Thumbs up!"

Su Lingyin replied with a smile: "Protecting one's legal rights is every citizen's right. I'm just cleaning up the trash at the door while I'm at it with legal popularization.

By the way, I've also secured evidence for those who cursed you. Do you need me to help you send a lawyer's letter as well?"

"Then thank you, Lawyer Su. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

In this way, Su Lingyin not only perfectly protected herself and powerfully struck back at cyberbullying.

But she also shaped an image of a professional, rational, strong, and charming modern woman, making her and Chen Yu's "Law-Abiding CP" persona deeply rooted in people's hearts.

This was much more high-level and effective than simply arguing or playing the victim.

"Haha, I almost want you to be my manager."

"That's not impossible, if you need it."

Chen Yu shook his head: "Forget it, Lawyer Su's time should be spent on more professional things."

Chen Yu took a breath and said: "Thank you."

Su Lingyin: "You're welcome, it's what I should do."

"Then... get some rest early. Goodnight, Su Su."

"Goodnight, Chen Chen."
