Chapter 390 The War of Information

Yangyang has a high threshold for laughter and a cold personality, but no matter what little story Su Youling tells, he will always respond accordingly, making sure his mother doesn't feel awkward.

After much coaxing, and with the sun already rising and the hospital soon becoming 'lively' as public opinion fermented, Su Youling asked Wen Xi to help send her family back home, giving her countless instructions.

Yangyang didn't miss the suspicious figures near the hospital. He frowned and decided to help his mother deal with the messy online comments when he got back.

Xingxing and Yueyue slept soundly, and no noise could wake her.

Although Su Hong was worried, seeing that her daughter was out of danger, she breathed a sigh of relief. The fatigue from the long journey overwhelmed her, and she couldn't help but close her eyes and fall asleep. She was still thinking about what kind of soup she would make to nourish her daughter when she got home.

Yangyang, however, was full of energy and not sleepy at all.

The little guy rolled down the car window and looked up at the hospital building. Suddenly, he asked Su Youling awkwardly, "Mommy, how... is he?"

Although Yangyang has never had direct contact with Li Tingxi, the little guy doesn't seem to dislike Li Tingxi as much as he appears on the surface; he does care about him.

“They’re still in the ICU.” Su Youling didn’t hide it from her eldest son, who was acting like a little adult. “So these next few days will be very important. Mommy can’t come home to be with you. Grandma and godmother are here, so you watch over your younger siblings and make sure they don’t run around.”

Yangyang nodded, not wanting to cause his mother any more worry.

He has a lot to deal with, but there's no need for Mommy to know.

Finding the two assassins by investigating the hotel is like looking for a needle in a haystack; it's far too inefficient.

He wanted to change his approach and start the investigation from the killer's perspective.

...

As expected, public opinion began to ferment after daybreak.

After all, airport hotels are frequented by people, and such a major murder case alarmed hotel executives, the police, and attracted the attention of many important figures. How could it not arouse the keen senses of the media and gossipy passersby?

Before the news officially broke in the media, many new media accounts had already published content related to the hotel murder case.

Initially, the impact was not widespread.

As the incident gained traction, the two main perpetrators were exposed by so-called insiders, and with the involvement of influential figures, online public opinion exploded.

"My God, in a society governed by law, in broad daylight, under the clear sky, someone actually committed a murder in an airport hotel. I was trembling with fear when I passed through the airport last night."

"The person upstairs is overthinking it. A passerby's life is worthless; the killer wouldn't even consider it! The victim who made the revelation is Li Tingxi and his new lover, the woman with the child who was trending on social media last time."

"Here comes the science! That woman is no unknown mistress. I have insider gossip. She comes from a European aristocratic family with a distinguished background. Although she looks young, she is actually a reigning champion of multiple European art and design exhibitions and the female CEO of a strange country."

"A blogger dug up this woman's resume, and the word 'amazing' is an understatement! It's said that this Ms. Rebecca was frail and sickly as a child, yet she still painted and exhibited under a vest, winning many international awards. A few years ago, her health improved, and upon her first public appearance, she quickly rose to prominence in multiple art fields, sweeping across the entire art and design industry!"

"That's not all! The Strange Kingdom used to be just an insignificant scion of the Rebecca family."

#Please do not use incognito mode whenever verification is required!

The company was essentially a facade for the family business; frankly, it wasn't profitable and it housed a bunch of parasites. Since Miss Rebecca took over, she's implemented sweeping reforms and purged the corrupt elements, offending many people in the process, but ultimately proving them wrong with her actions!

"Mom, I'm not in the industry, but I just looked up Strange Kingdom. After Rebecca took over, it rose rapidly and was named a National Emerging Enterprise for three consecutive years. All of its designs are sought after by top luxury brands."

“Absolutely! Rebecca herself is a renowned chief designer. Any design she creates, whether it's a piece or a plan, is priceless. I was fortunate enough to attend the Paris Fashion Week before and saw her design exhibition. I'm still a fan of hers. I never expected her to quietly come to China.”

"She returned to China this time to compete for the country's first comprehensive commercial art expo, and she even defeated Yitao Culture, the pioneer of ceramics in China. She's a powerful and beautiful female CEO who gets things done quietly. She's a perfect match for Li Tingxi. I love this double strong couple even more."

"Although the police report has not yet been released, a blogger captured key information last night. It is said that the killer wanted to murder Rebecca, and Li Tingxi risked his life to save her, almost falling off the hotel rooftop. When he was finally put into the ambulance, he was covered in blood, with not a single unblemished spot."

“Paparazzi and media have been staking out the area near the hospital for a while now, but there are bodyguards everywhere, watching so closely, maybe Li Tingxi is already…”

"Pah! Get lost, you jinx! A pure-hearted warrior like Li Tingxi will definitely be alright. After surviving this brush with death, he's going to be with Rebecca forever."

The career-oriented fans cheered and shouted, while the C-fans celebrated wildly.

But the internet is always more chaotic, and some people immediately objected, saying, "Do you really think people will believe anything you say? Did Li Tingxi get to where he is today because of his love-struck, 'pure love warrior' mentality? How could any sugar daddy be so stupid as to risk his own life for his lover's?"

"Tch! Those idiots who praise successful career women should stop. The big boss of Yitao Culture is Li Tingxi. What's losing a mere bidding process to please his mistress? Rich girls grow up in the cutthroat world of the wealthy, and their methods are indeed diverse."

"Wasn't Yitao Culture revitalized and strengthened by Li Tingxi's ex-wife, Su Youling? What's Li Tingxi up to? He pretends to be sentimental while commemorating his deceased wife, while he's always seeing beautiful and wealthy women like Karina and Rebecca."

"Is there anyone who doesn't know Li Tingxi's background? He's just an illegitimate child who was born into a wealthy family. He didn't receive any aristocratic education growing up. He's despicable and hypocritical. Everyone knows about his use of the stunt double trope... Does he think he's some kind of pure love superstar? He's always stuck on the trending topics list."

"I heard from people in the industry that Rebecca looks eight or nine points similar to Li Tingxi's ex-wife. Moreover, someone revealed that after Li Tingxi got into trouble, Rebecca brought a group of bodyguards to keep an eye on him. I heard that even Li Tingxi's family members were kicked out."

"Oh my god, I suddenly have a terrible conspiracy theory! Actually, Rebecca has always been after Li Tingxi's wealth. She deliberately used the image of the white moonlight to seduce Li Tingxi, and then staged a 'suicide' drama. Once Li Tingxi is gone, she can inherit a huge sum of money."

Suddenly, conspiracy theories, love stories, power grabs... all sorts of baseless essays flooded the internet.

Career fans, C fans, casual observers, haters, online trolls... several groups of people are arguing fiercely online, tearing each other apart like Pangu creating the world.
