At precisely 12 o'clock, a video under Qin Xuan's account was automatically published across the entire internet.
In the video, several young people sat on the "chair of regret" with terrified expressions, being questioned by law enforcement officers.
The content of the questioning was, without exception, all about the video of Qin Xuan assaulting someone.
"It wasn't intentional. A woman found me and offered a large sum of money for my video. The subsequent editing was all done by her, it has nothing to do with me!"
"The, the voiceover was recorded by me..."
"But that woman tempted me with money!"
"I really didn't know she intended to frame Qin Xuan!"
"I know that woman's identity..."
"She's a manager at Hulai Network, her name is Liu Ying."
The interrogation process was complete and unedited.
The facts confessed by the young people were also almost identical.
The widely circulated assault videos were all fabricated by them, and the one uniformly orchestrating the buy-ups behind it all was Liu Ying of Hulai Network!
Wow!
As soon as the video was released, the entire internet was in an uproaror.
They hadn't expected these so-called "stone-hammer" videos to be fake.
Even more unexpectedly, the supposed mastermind behind it all was Hulai Network, an organization lauded by everyone for its charitable work!
"This is ridiculous. The voiceover was recorded by himself, how could he not know what the video was for? Isn't it obvious he couldn't resist temptation?"
"Exactly! And these people didn't come forward to clarify after the incident, which clearly shows intent!"
"Do you think they might be shifting the blame? Didn't Hulai Network help Auntie Li Fengying? I remember Manager Liu Ying being quite amiable too."
"Are you still not catching on upstairs? Liu Ying has also been arrested! These people are all in it together! They just wanted to slander General Qin Xuan!"
As if to confirm the netizens' words, while everyone was still hotly discussing, Qin Xuan's account posted two more videos.
The first video was the interrogation record of Hu Hao.
"Name."
"Hu Hao."
"Age."
"Thirty-three."
"Do you know why you're being arrested?"
"No."
"You don't know?!"
"You incited your subordinates to maliciously spread rumors and smear a national hero, and now you're playing dumb?"
The law enforcement officer angrily tapped the table, while Hu Hao feigned ignorance.
"What incitement? What rumors? I know nothing about what you're talking about."
"As for anything else, I have nothing to say now. If possible, please have my lawyer come over."
The first video ended abruptly here.
"Damn, this Hu Hao is like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water! The law enforcement officers said so, so there must be evidence, yet he still insists he knows nothing!"
"Of course. Hu Hao is the CEO of a major company, worth billions. As long as he sticks to his denial now, there are plenty of ways to avoid punishment later."
"Don't be so naive, okay? Think about it, who did Hu Hao slander? Qin Xuan! A general of the nation!
No matter how capable Hu Hao is, can he be more capable than a general?
Just you wait, he definitely won't escape responsibility this time!"
"I believe Hu Hao. If you ask me, he was probably deceived by Li Fengying too. Otherwise, why would a CEO worth billions suddenly spread rumors about a nobody? It makes no sense."
"Hahaha, upstairs, didn't you see how much Hulai's stock price rose yesterday? If General Qin Xuan hadn't revealed his hand today, Hulai Network would have soared to the heavens!"
After a round of arguments below the video, netizens clicked on the second video.
Similar to the first, the second was Liu Ying's interrogation.
However, Liu Ying appeared calm and directly admitted to all the charges brought by the law enforcement officers.
Not only that, but she also revealed her past grievances with Qin Xuan and claimed to be the mastermind behind the entire rumor-mongering incident.
"See? I told you Hu Hao would find a way to get away with it. And here it is, letting his subordinates take the fall!"
"I still maintain my view, Hu Hao was completely unaware of the whole thing. Li Fengying and Liu Ying just exploited his good intentions."
"Are you guys possessed upstairs? Why isn't your brain working? Did Hu Hao not allow those influencers to interview at his company? Since he allowed it, how could he not know the truth of the entire matter?"
"Oh, stop arguing, General Qin posted another video! I just took a quick look, it's Li Fengying's interrogation video! Let's go watch it and find out!"
With the netizens' guidance, Qin Xuan's latest posted interrogation record of Li Fengying also instantly became popular.
In the video, Li Fengying initially insisted she was ill and had little time left to live.
When the law enforcement officers requested to take her to the hospital for a check-up, she changed her tune, claiming her illness was a special condition that couldn't be easily detected.
Only when the officers presented her comprehensive physical examination report from a few days prior did her expression change instantly.
"That Qin Xuan framed my daughter! What can I, a woman, do?"
"My child is only 23 years old. Her entire life will be ruined because of this matter!"
As the video reached this point, some people in the bullet comments couldn't help but chime in to defend Li Fengying.
"No matter what, Li Fengying is just a frail woman. She did this only for her child..."
"Yes, I'm also a mother. If my child encountered something like this, I might also go to any lengths to save him."
"Exactly, General Qin Xuan, a high-ranking general, is quibbling with a mother desperate to save her child. It's truly disappointing!"
Hu Zi'an happened to be watching this video at the time.
Upon seeing these comments, he could no longer suppress his urge to vent.
He resolutely grabbed his keyboard and began typing furiously.
"Your morals are truly twisted. So what if she's a woman? Just because she's a woman, can she make mistakes freely?"
"And you say a desperate mother shouldn't be held accountable? My elder brother is about the same age as Fu Mei! Why don't you tell Li Fengying not to be accountable?"
"Are you trying to emotionally blackmail me?!"
"I wish you trouble in the future, and may the other party have parents like Li Fengying!"
Naturally, some people retorted to Hu Zi'an's words, but as the video progressed, these voices gradually faded.
This was because upon learning that her actions had severely violated the law and would lead to prosecution and imprisonment, Li Fengying panicked.
She quickly retracted all her previous statements and, with a stream of tears and snot, sold out Liu Ying.
"Comrades in law enforcement, this really has nothing to do with me!"
"I originally just wanted to upload Xiao Mei's video online to scare Qin Xuan, so that the law enforcement agency would release my daughter."
"But Liu Ying found me after seeing the video. She said if I did as she said, Qin Xuan would definitely be ruined, and Xiao Mei would be released."
"Everything that happened afterwards was done by them, it has nothing to do with me!"
"You have to believe me!"
