Chapter 364: Wants to Turn the Tables?
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for many people.
…
Ning Li followed Lu Huaiyu back to the Rongyue Mansion.
The sky was already completely dark.
Ning Li sat on the sofa in the living room, took out her phone, and casually browsed through it.
The matter of Ye Ci cheating had already caused a huge uproar on the Internet, and the related hot searches were still rising.
Not only was the hashtag for this topic used to death, but the front page had also been changed several times.
It seemed that everyone was involved in this farce.
She looked at it calmly.
This scene was very familiar.
In her previous life, after she had been reported for cheating, the situation had also been like this, setting off a public opinion carnival.
Countless taunts and insults had surged over, drowning her and making it impossible for her to escape.
In addition to countless harassing texts and phone calls, there had also been people who kept sending her WeChat friend requests.
It did not matter whether she had approved it or not.
Their goal had merely been to let her see the insults that were attached to those applications.
Those had only been the situations on the Internet.
In reality, her things had wantonly been vandalized, and she received threatening packages with blood.
For a long time, even after that, whenever she walked along a road and heard the same notification sound as her phone, she would immediately become highly tense.
That had almost become a stress trigger for her.
However, this time, the person who bore all of this was now Ye Ci.
As she was observing this, Wei Songzhe sent a message.
[ Sister Li, who was it that leaked the news about Ye Ci? Why was it faster than us? ]
Ning Li paused.
[ There’s no shortage of people who want to watch the show. ]
[ Should we look into it? ]
Wei Songzhe seemed to be quite interested in this matter.
[ Don’t worry about it. Someone will naturally check it out. ]
Wei Songzhe reacted for a moment and quickly understood.
This matter was so big that Ye Ci’s side would definitely not let it go.
After all, she still had the Ye family behind her. If she really wanted to investigate it, it would not be difficult.
[ Okay. ]
Wei Songzhe simply replied and ran off to consume more gossip.
Ning Li turned off her phone screen and looked out of the window.
Not many people knew that Ye Ci had been caught with a cheat sheet. The person who had leaked the information had just been one of the examinees.
It did not really matter who it had been.
What was important was that this layer of window paper had already been pierced through.
Since the flames had already appeared, all it needed was a little wind to be added, then it would be able to become a prairie fire.
…
It was already 11 o’clock at night, which was the period with the most traffic.
The terms related to Ye Ci’s cheating had already risen to seventh place on the hot search list, followed by a conspicuous “Hot”.
The number of searches was still increasing.
Ye Ming dialed Ye Yiming’s number again.
“Yiming, what’s going on with the hot search? Why is it still remaining? Not to mention, it’s still rising?”
He had clearly instructed Ye Yiming to deal with this matter as soon as possible. However, so much time had already passed, yet there was no effect at all. In fact, the heat was even greater than before!
Wasn’t this getting more and more troublesome?
Ye Yiming also had a headache.
“Uncle Ming, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but I can’t really do it! I’ve contacted them, but they said that this is normal data, so there’s no way to withdraw it, and the heat can’t be reduced either.”
Ye Ming’s heart sank.
Ye Yiming’s company specialized in these matters, so he was the clearest about the methods that were involved.
If even he could not do it, then there really was no other way.
However, did they really have to just sit and watch?
Not only was Ye Ci the focus, but some people had also started to mention the Ye family.
Once the Ye family was implicated…
Ye Yiming hesitated for a while, but he still could not help but ask, “Uncle Ming, did she… offend someone?”
Ye Ming did not understand the reason, but he understood what was being implied.
The statement from Weibo was actually just an excuse.
The platform was theirs. As long as they wanted, what kind of trending topics could not be taken down? What kind of news could not be suppressed?
It was nothing more than a matter of money.
However, he had already raised the price twice before, yet the other party still refused to budge.
Wasn’t it obvious that someone was deliberately making use of this matter, with the intention of completely destroying Ye Ci’s reputation?
Other than money, he was more worried that the person behind this might have an extraordinary identity.
The platform’s attitude was so firm. Either the other party had given enough money or had a strong background.
But no matter what, this did not bode well for them.
That was why Yiming asked this question.
Ye Ming frowned.
“She’s just an ordinary girl who just goes between home and school. Who could she have offended? Why are you asking this?”
Ye Yiming wanted to say something but hesitated.
He could not explain it to Ye Ming in such a short time.
He said, “It’s nothing. I’m just asking. I’ll think of another way. Uncle Ming, don’t be too anxious. Actually, netizens are the easiest to be led astray. As long as you can grasp a little bit of it, you might be able to turn the tables. Regarding this exam… Did Lil Ci give any other explanation?”
Ye Ming suddenly thought of something.
“There is.”
…
Rongyue Mansion
Lu Huaiyu looked at Ning Li and raised his eyebrows.
“Are you still going to sleep in the master bedroom?”
Ning Li, “…”
This was really too much…
Just as she was about to refuse, her phone rang.
It was a message from He Xiaochen.
[ Ning Li, this is bad! There are people online who are saying that you’re the one who framed Ye Ci for cheating! Quickly go and take a look! ]
