14: Chapter 15 Online Public Opinion

Does this Cheng Xiao really think no one else saw what he did? He's twisting the truth here and trying to slander you—he's absolutely shameless!

With so many students outside who can testify for An Xin, the fact that he's pulling this stunt now is clearly just to incite uninformed netizens to attack An Xin.

Before An Xin could even express his stance, Li Tao had already started venting his indignation on An Xin's behalf.

'So this is a university student, huh? Smashing a car on the spot—is this the kind of talent the school cultivates?'

'Disgusting. What has this society come to? If scum like this can get into college, is the school trying to provide talent to society or just churning out trash?'

'I'll only say the word 'shameless' once. This isn't even just being shameless anymore; this is trampling everyone's dignity underfoot.'

'How innocent the car owner is; he was just passing by, and now look—he's lost both his reputation and his money!'

'50,000, 39,990,000—this is the biggest joke I've seen today. Does this guy think that just because he paid 50,000, he can do whatever he wants?'

These netizens, eager to stir up trouble, were not only maliciously attacking An Xin but even dragging the school itself into the conversation!

In their words, Jinghai Engineering College seemed to have become a school specifically for cultivating villains.

This kind of sweeping attack was completely unnecessary; in the footage taken at the time of the incident, the protagonist of the story was standing right next to the school gate sign.

'Do you want us brothers to help you vent your anger? I can't stand people like this!'

Li Tao spoke up from the side, clearly annoyed that Cheng Xiao was in the wrong yet had the nerve to shift all the responsibility onto An Xin.

'No need. This kind of thing is simple; just upload the unedited video to the internet.'

An Xin spoke up from the side, completely calm. His tone was flat, perfectly conveying his utter disdain.

Cheng Xiao's entire reliance right now was just bullying An Xin, betting on the fact that he was a student and wouldn't dare to make a scene.

If he really were just an ordinary student, he might have been intimidated by the current momentum Cheng Xiao had built.

Internet public opinion was entirely on Cheng Xiao's side, and the rampant attacks and cyberbullying were enough to destroy a person.

A single night was enough for public opinion to ferment to an irreversible point.

And once that happened, even if An Xin wanted to explain himself and present his evidence, it would be too little, too late.

After all, not everyone would see his explanation; most people were just there to watch the show.

The so-called truth of the matter was the thing those onlookers cared about the least.

'We'll go find someone to get it for you now. There were so many onlookers; someone must have recorded a video.'

Li Tao immediately opened the campus wall. Since this matter concerned the school's reputation, everyone naturally wouldn't just sit by and watch.

'It's fine. I was already on guard against them; I recorded video evidence early on.'

In An Xin's past life, all sorts of 'to help or not to help' scam incidents were endless, and although the culture of scamming wasn't yet that prevalent now,

An Xin had developed the habit of recording solid video evidence for himself regardless of what happened, just to avoid being left without a way to plead his case in the end.

'Good kid, you're impressive! You even anticipated this happening.'

Li Tao looked at An Xin in shock. Seeing how capable his new roommate was, he finally realized how ignorant he had been.

Even now, with the incident having blown up, he hadn't had a single thought about saving evidence for himself.

An Xin ignored his three 'silly sons' and registered a Weibo account himself, uploading the unedited video to the internet.

'Right and wrong are not for one person to decide. Trying to frame me with a video that cuts out the beginning and end—your tactics are still too amateur!'

Come to think of it, An Xin never expected Cheng Xiao to be this stupid. He clearly knew that there were many onlookers at the event, not to mention evidence like surveillance footage, yet he still had the audacity to blow this matter out of proportion.

In the video, Cheng Xiao's ugly face was fully exposed—calling people 'poor losers' one after another, making threat after threat, and then later, when An Xin exposed him, showing the car was modified, and he happily accepted the 50,000 yuan compensation—it was all laid bare for the netizens to see.

'I knew it! The previous video looked a bit off. So it was taken out of context and edited. Do you treat everyone like a fool just because they don't get angry?'

'You're using us netizens as your weapon, right?'

'A moment ago, I was charging into battle for you, and now the appearance of this video is plainly telling me that I'm an idiot!'

'We university students may not have experienced the harsh beatings of society, but that doesn't mean we can just let you scam us.'

The words spoken in the video were truly arrogant, completely inconsistent with the image in the video Cheng Xiao himself had posted.

These weren't the main points; the point was that at the beginning, he was making exorbitant demands to Liu Yuxi.

It was clearly just a beat-up car worth 50,000, yet he had the nerve to demand a high price of 1,000,000!

This wasn't even just being shameless; it was treating everyone like a fool.

Cheng Xiao hurriedly deleted his posts, but his face was clearly displayed in the video.

His address and his job were all exposed along with it.

There were also netizens who said that Cheng Xiao surely hadn't done this for the first time, and perhaps there were other victims before.

Such a person should be dealt with immediately; if he's left alone, there might be another victim.

An Xin had been keeping an eye on the trend of public opinion online, and seeing that things were developing in the direction he wanted, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slowly curl up.

In his past life, he didn't know much about this incident, but he did know that this Cheng Xiao had secretly used his low-class tactics to frame quite a few girls.

Liu Yuxi was by no means the first.

He actually hoped that with the help of public opinion, the people who had been framed before could stand up, which would count as getting revenge for themselves.

However, An Xin observed for several hours and didn't see a second victim appear, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The internet now isn't developed enough; it can't let news spread to the point where everyone knows it in the fastest time.

An Xin turned over and lay directly on the bed, falling asleep.

The next day!

The first thing for freshmen at the start of school was military training!

An Xin had just received his military training uniform and, after leaving the classroom, heard bursts of exclamations from the side.

A girl ran straight into An Xin. An Xin clutched his chest, and before he could even cry out in pain, a piece of paper was shoved into his hand.

There was even a small seal on the pink love letter.

The girl had also summoned all her courage to run over and deliver the love letter; after shoving it into An Xin's hand, she lowered her head and ran out.
