136: Chapter 135 Public Opinion Storm!!

Codename: Luo Yu.

There were currently only seven people in the group.

Aside from him and Zhang Jingque, the other five were all victims.

"Received!"

"Received!"

"Received!"

...

Aside from Zhang Jingque, the other five all replied with "received."

Yang Tian paid his bill and left the internet cafe, heading straight to the residential area where Luo Yu's rental house was located.

By now, the fire department had arrived on the scene. The open flames in the rental house had been extinguished, but everything combustible inside had been burned to ashes.

Everything related to Luo Yu had vanished, except for the USB drive he had left in his fishing tackle box.

The next morning.

Yucheng Sunshine Residential Area.

After finishing breakfast, Zhang Desheng, who was in his fifties, habitually opened his phone to scroll through some videos.

He had just scrolled to the second video when he was immediately drawn in.

"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Yongsheng. I am reporting Qiu Yi, the Associate Chief Physician of the Gastroenterology Department at Yucheng Hospital, under my real name for violating medical ethics by forging test results and lab reports to falsely claim I had stomach cancer, thereby subjecting me to a series of cancer treatments including surgery and chemotherapy. I have spent over four hundred thousand yuan on treatment costs..."

After watching the video, Zhang Desheng's emotions were instantly stirred. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, doctors nowadays have no conscience! How could they do something so heartless?"

Hearing her husband shouting, his wife came out of the room and asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

Zhang Desheng handed over the phone and pointed at the video. "See for yourself!"

His wife walked over and took a look at the phone.

"There's nothing here!"

"How can there be nothing?"

Zhang Desheng took the phone back, looked down, and saw a line of text on the screen: 'This video is illegal and has been blocked by moderators.'

"Bullshit!" Zhang Desheng cursed loudly. "The person used their real name to report it, and it's still illegal??"

Many other netizens in the same city were experiencing the same thing as Zhang Desheng.

"Eh? Why did it disappear while I was watching?"

"Crap, it got blocked before I could even finish it!"

"Are you kidding me? What's illegal about this? They just block it like that!?"

"I strongly demand the poster upload it again!"

"They can't. The account has been banned!"

...

9:00 AM.

Zeng Ronglu, the Director of the Health Commission, had just reached his office door when he noticed it was open. He peeked inside curiously and immediately saw the Deputy County Magistrate in charge of health sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, looking at his phone.

Zeng Ronglu was startled, thinking he hadn't done anything wrong lately, so he immediately put on a smile and walked in.

"Magistrate Wang, what brings you here? You should have given me a heads-up so I could prepare."

Wang Haiyang turned to look at Zeng Ronglu. The cold glint in his eyes made Zeng Ronglu's skin crawl.

"Who on earth offended this big shot??"

"If I hadn't come, the netizens' spit would have drowned you and Xie Ming by now!"

"This...!"

Zeng Ronglu's expression tightened, and he immediately asked, "Did something happen??"

"See for yourself!"

Wang Haiyang handed him the phone.

Although he had already instructed the comrades from the Propaganda Department to contact Douyin officials to delete and block all the videos.

But before the block, he had already saved all five people's videos.

Zeng Ronglu took the phone and began to watch.

"Hello everyone, I am Chen Yongsheng..."

The more he watched, the deeper his frown became.

After spending over ten minutes watching the five videos, Zeng Ronglu looked at Wang Haiyang in horror.

"Magistrate Wang, we must handle this urgently, otherwise it will definitely cause a storm of public opinion!!"

"Nonsense. If I waited for you to act, it would be too late. I already contacted the comrades from the Propaganda Department and handled it!"

Zeng Ronglu let out a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."

"Good, my foot!"

Wang Haiyang cursed, and Zeng Ronglu's expression tightened again.

"Deleting the videos only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. You can delete them for a moment, but not forever. The key is to find the people who posted the videos and deal with them!"

After Wang Haiyang finished speaking, his eyes narrowed into slits, filled with murderous intent.

"Right! I'll go find them now!"

Zeng Ronglu immediately made a call to Xie Ming, the President of Yucheng Hospital.

By this time, Xie Ming was already in a state of frantic distress.

Seeing Zeng Ronglu's number, he immediately answered:

"Director! Please let me explain!"

"The content in those videos is all rumors and slander!"

"Our Gastroenterology Department doesn't have these problems!"

"Rest assured, I will definitely handle this properly!"

Putting down his phone, he slumped onto the sofa. The power of public opinion was immense. Right now, he could only find a way to track down those patients.

"Let's call the police, President!" Gao Shang walked into Xie Ming's office in a hurry. After receiving the video someone sent him, he had immediately come to the President's office.

"Call the police? For what?"

Xie Ming glared straight at Gao Shang. "When the police come, will they investigate you or me??"

Gao Shang closed the office door, walked up to Xie Ming, and whispered, "Don't you have someone in the Bureau??"

Xie Ming rubbed his chin. "If you put it that way, calling the police isn't out of the question!"

...

Meanwhile.

Yucheng Police Station.

Zhang Jingque was organizing case files.

The next second, her phone began to ring incessantly.

She picked it up and saw messages in the WeChat group 'Codename: Luo Yu.'

"Were your videos deleted? All the videos I posted were deleted by officials, saying they were illegal!"

"Mine were deleted too. I even spent two hundred yuan on Dou+, and the views had already surpassed a thousand, but they were still deleted!"

"You guys only had yours deleted. My account was banned directly! I appealed to customer service, and they told me to express my views rationally and not to create or spread rumors!"

"Mine was deleted too. Moreover, a Police Officer from the Yucheng County Public Security Bureau just called me, saying I'm suspected of fabricating facts and spreading rumors, and they want to summon me to the Public Security Bureau for investigation!"

"Me too. I also received a call from them."

"Wait, it seems they're calling me now too."

...

After reading these messages, Zhang Jingque immediately ran out of the office to the second floor of the dormitory. She pushed open Yang Tian's dormitory door and walked into the inner room.

The next second, her pretty face flushed red.

Yang Tian's "tent" was standing tall.

After staring for a few seconds, she immediately turned around and shouted, "Chief Yang! Something big has happened!"

"Ah!!"

Yang Tian sat up from the bed like a zombie and stared straight at Zhang Jingque. "What happened??"
