[Little Crispy can't help much, can only cheer for Tan Tan and Miss Zhuang Tianxin (??_?)?]

Li Xi was very pleased with the reactions from netizens. There are many good people these days.

The discussion of the Hua Er domestic violence incident became even more heated due to the involvement of wealthy gossip. The related entries were on the hot search list and did not come down until the next day.

Out of curiosity, the next day, Li Xi specifically searched for the Hua family's dynamics to see how they would react. She was shocked to see that the Hua family's stock had hit its limit down.

Li Xi: “…”Are netizens playing such a big game nowadays?

Was it just a domestic violence scandal involving the young master? Was it really necessary to send the stock to its limit down? Li Xi was confused. She didn't understand. So she clicked on the comments section. She immediately saw the problem.

Yesterday, most of the people who calmly supported the wealthy gossips and Zhuang Tianxin were women. They have strong empathy and are more likely to put themselves in their shoes, so their words were gentle and tender. Now, a different group of people have joined the comments below.

They can be roughly divided into two categories: the righteous ones who feel sorry for the beautiful ladies, and the irritable ones who say, "Fuck, this guy is embarrassing us men, let's get him." Yes, both categories are men.

They didn't dwell on the complex emotional entanglements, but simply addressed the issue at hand—"The goddess was bullied," "The coward only dared to bully his wife, come and fight if you dare." Of course, they wouldn't actually go find Hua Er and beat him up with a sack, but they wanted to teach him or his family a lesson.

It was unknown who had started it, but they had already started discussing the Hua family's stock in the comments section, perhaps even forming a group. The result, as Li Xi had seen, was that the Hua family's stock had hit its limit down.

Li Xi: “…” Netizens are really talented, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers everywhere, I admire them!

Li Xi hadn't actually considered doing anything about the Hua family's conglomerate at this point. After all, the relevant authorities were already targeting them, and the Hua family's downfall was inevitable. Even if she did nothing, the Hua family's stock would be in trouble in the near future. But netizens spontaneously targeted the Hua family, causing their stock to plummet to the limit. It felt pretty satisfying, I had to say.

Li Xi excitedly shared the news with Su Yu and Zhuang Tianxin, unaware that the other two already knew. After all, one of them had a renowned teacher who shared business news with her at all times, while the other had a family member on the front lines who happily shared the Hua family's embarrassing moments. Presumably, the Hua family's stock price limit-down announcement should have been known immediately after the market closed.

It's just that she usually doesn't pay attention to these things, so the two of them didn't think to tell her. But now that everyone knows, they can all ridicule Hua Er together. Because of one person's twisted humanity, the entire group suffered such huge losses. It's similar to Wang Yan's "Tian Liang Wang Po" (the weather is cold and the king is broken) because he closed the lower body of a tenant.

They didn't know what Hua Er was feeling at the moment, they only knew that he was very happy and relieved.

After the initial wave of trending searches, discussions about Hua Er and domestic violence continued online, though not as intense as they were at the beginning. After hitting the lower limit several times, the Hua family's stock gradually stabilized, though not as much as before.

Li Xi thought the Hua family matter was over. She had two things to prepare for: the extracurricular internships assigned by the school and the establishment of the foundation. Of course, Assistant Jiang was primarily in charge of the latter; she only needed to nod or shake her head when decisions were made and offer suggestions. As for funding and team building, Assistant Jiang handled everything, leaving Li Xi completely alone. Honestly, even if she were to, she wouldn't understand it.

The school arranged a week-long extracurricular internship at a five-star hotel in the city center. Each position was determined by drawing lots, and Li Xi, worthy of the cannon fodder role, landed in housekeeping. Her responsibilities included serving guests, tidying up, cleaning rooms, and maintaining the floor facilities. To put it bluntly, it was a physically demanding position.

Even if Li Xi had worked part-time before her time travel, she'd never held such a demanding position. After just one day, Li Xi was exhausted, her back and waist ached. However, her job often required her to face customers directly, so she couldn't show any sign of dejection. The forced smile she put on almost made her facial muscles stiffen.

Li Xi thought that five days would be enough, but unexpectedly, something happened on the third day.

That afternoon, as usual, she was going to check the empty rooms, checking the air conditioner, fire protection, doors and windows, etc. When she entered one of the rooms, Li Xi clearly felt something was wrong. The window of this room was open, but no one had lived in this room for several days.

Confused, Li Xi went to close the window. As soon as she put her hand on the window frame, she felt a pain in the back of her neck. Then her eyes went dark and she lost consciousness. Great! Someone must have knocked her out.

When Li Xi woke up again, she found herself tied up and thrown into the back seat of a tattered van. The van wasn't going very fast, making a clanging noise along the way. The road seemed uneven, and the car was shaking violently. Lying in the back seat, Li Xi felt like she would vomit if it kept shaking any more.

But Li Xi didn't dare vomit, nor did she dare make a sound. She lay quietly in the back seat, pretending to be still asleep, but her heart was beating like a drum. She didn't know who she had offended, nor did she know why these people had kidnapped her.

All sorts of horrific images flashed through his mind. First, the image of Zhou Zhi being kidnapped and beaten black and blue, then the image of Zhou Zhi being pushed off a cliff and shattered into a bloody mess, then the image of a young girl being abducted and bullied by various men, and then the image of thieves tying her up on a mountain and beating her. Each one was bloodier and more brutal than the last.

Li Xi was scared and wanted to cry, but she couldn't make any sound.

When people are afraid, time always seems to pass slowly. By the time the car stopped at its destination, Li Xi felt like a century had passed. Being dragged out of the car, Li Xi still didn't dare to make a sound, only crying out in fear and pain in her heart.
