Chapter 129 The Escalation

"I am a witness to this assault,"

"Next, I will tell everyone the full story of what I saw."

"Initially, Qin Xuan and Fu Mei had an argument due to a misunderstanding."

"Fu Mei was about to leave, but Qin Xuan suddenly called the enforcers."

"After a few words with Qin Xuan, those two enforcers were about to apprehend Fu Mei. Fu Mei refused, and that's how the scene in the video unfolded."

"Moreover, I wasn't the only one filming at the time, but those two enforcers aggressively stopped us. We had no choice but to film secretly."

"Afterward, that Qin Xuan threatened us, demanding we delete the videos."

"I refused."

"Because I felt it was necessary to expose his terrible actions!"

"Otherwise, today Fu Mei is the victim, tomorrow it will be Li Mei, the day after it will be me, and the day after that it will be you!"

"I cannot let this evil continue!"

"I must step forward!"

The video uploader's emotions were running high, their narrative shifting from the victim to themselves, and finally to the public.

The information and emotions were escalating.

Naturally, they quickly garnered significant support from a large number of netizens.

Liu Yue Piao Xue: Support, brother! This indifferent society needs warm-hearted people like you to save it!

Bao Bao Bei Bei: I saw the video of Sister Fu Mei too, it's terrifying! I really can't imagine what I would do if I were the victim. This Qin Xuan is too rampant!

Wo Ai Li Mei Ru: Disgraceful, isn't this a typical case of disregarding human life?! Where is the Jiangcheng Enforcement Bureau? Why aren't they coming out to clarify this? I said this society is beyond saving, and you still don't believe me!

Tian Xin Nv Shen: That's why I say, sisters, you must protect yourselves when you're out, especially don't let men get close to you. Each of you is an angel, worthy of a tall, rich, and handsome man who truly loves you.

Mi Tu Zhi Fan: The topic's heat is starting to drop, that scumbag Qin Xuan is using his money power! Everyone quickly like and repost this video, let more people see it! Scum like Qin Xuan must be severely punished!

Nao Zi You Keng: Exactly, let's unite and send him to prison, let him see that being rich doesn't make you omnipotent!

...

The popularity of several corroborating videos continued to soar with the passage of time.

Each video had hundreds of thousands of views and tens of thousands of shares.

This was even with the relevant heat being deliberately suppressed.

The same scenario was unfolding on other social media platforms.

Upon receiving the suppression order from Yuan Mengqi, Weibo also quickly took action.

However, this did not prevent the hashtag [#RichYoungMaster Brutally Beats Innocent Passerby] from topping the trending list.

More and more Weibo users began to pay attention to the matter.

And several quick-reacting Weibo influencers had already produced corresponding videos within just a few tens of minutes.

Among them, the most influential was an account with over thirty million followers called "Observer of the Human World."

"Hello everyone, this is Observer of the Human World.

I am recording this video for you with a heavy heart.

Just now, I saw a video on Kuai Xia titled 'Rich Young Master Colludes with Enforcers to Assault and Apprehend People.'

Initially, I thought it was some sensationalist stunt by an influencer.

But upon clicking, I discovered astonishing hidden details behind this video.

The protagonist of the video, Fu Mei, was violently assaulted by Qin Xuan, who is suspected to be a rich young master, merely due to a verbal dispute.

Not only that, but Qin Xuan also colluded with enforcers patrolling nearby that day to take Fu Mei to the enforcement station for criminal detention!

I am very angry about this, and also very perplexed!

Angry that a grown man, when facing a fellow countrywoman, not only showed no respect or consideration but resorted to violence!

It's truly a disgrace to us men!

What perplexes me is how much influence this Qin Xuan has to make enforcers work so diligently for him?!

After all, this is criminal detention!

Only those who violate our country's criminal law are detained like this!

Fu Mei, a weak woman, why should she be subjected to this?!

Is it because she has no backing?

How pathetic, how lamentable!

Most importantly, as of now, the Jiangcheng Enforcement Bureau has maintained a silent stance.

Even though this incident has reached the top trending spot on all major platforms, and even though numerous videos proving Qin Xuan's vicious actions have been leaked.

I have not done any copywriting or editing for this video, precisely to speak up for the victim while the heat has not been completely suppressed.

Observer of the Human World hopes that this incident will not become an unresolved 'cold case,' and also hopes that similar incidents will not happen in the future.

Of course, regardless of anything else, as citizens of Longguo, I still believe in and identify with the authorities.

I only hope that the authorities can conduct the necessary investigation as soon as possible and bring justice to everyone."

A major influencer with thirty million followers already had considerable influence, and coupled with the escalating Qin Xuan assault incident, this video, upon its release, instantly spread like wildfire.

The video's view count surged, quickly surpassing one million!

Likes and comments were countless.

"Oh my god, it's Observer of the Human World! He also saw the assault video!"

"This Observer is amazing! How long has it been? The video is already out!"

"I'm truly impressed! Just a couple of days ago there was a group assault on a woman, and now another assault on a woman! Are these rich people sick? Do they not treat ordinary people as humans?!"

"Who says not! Just as Observer of the Human World said, pathetic, lamentable! I wonder when we ordinary people will be able to stand up!"

"Don't even mention it. I heard that Fu Mei's family has an elderly mother in her sixties. As soon as she heard her daughter was detained by the enforcement station, she fainted on the spot! After finally waking up, she went to the enforcement station to see her daughter, but as soon as they met, she fainted again from heartache! How pitiful!"

"..."

Shares, comments, follows, follower growth!

With just this one video, Observer of the Human World's follower count surged from 30.38 million to 32.40 million.

The video's view count also skyrocketed from hundreds of thousands to several million, with millions of likes and hundreds of thousands of comments, instantly becoming a trending video across the entire network.

And these figures continued to grow rapidly with the passage of time.

It could be said that the traffic was truly captured!

At the same time, at Hu Lai Network in Jiangcheng.

"Boss Hu, Boss Hu!"

"My daughter's video has over ten million views on Kuai Xia!" Li Fengying excitedly shouted at Hu Hao.

Hu Hao subtly frowned, then replied, "I hired so many people to put on this show, so the views are expected."

"However, I seem to have underestimated Qin Xuan's influence."

"The topic's heat is currently dropping rapidly."

"Could it be..."

"Did Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang make a move?"

Hu Hao rubbed his chin in confusion. Li Fengying's eyebrows shot up, and she immediately shouted, "How can the heat drop?!"

"Aren't you the boss of a ten-billion-dollar company!"

"Can't you even deal with a mere Qin Xuan?"

"I don't care!"

"Boss Hu, my daughter's fate rests in your hands. You absolutely cannot let that scumbag Qin Xuan get away with it!"
