Following the release of the news, a heated discussion erupted online.

This society is terrifying; what is real anymore?

[Through the screen, everyone is the best actor. Only we, a bunch of foolish onlookers, would find the love story of rapists so endearing.]

Was the woman an adult at that time? This reminds me of the Baise student aid website... So, can the world of the wealthy really be a place where they can do whatever they want? We need the truth!!!

[It seems the woman also had a child with Shen Fu, right? That's chilling to think about... Is it possible this was a honey trap?]

[I thought of that too! Putting everything else aside, Shen Fu has the looks, the background, and most importantly, he's incredibly rich. Why would he need to rape someone? It's more like a bunch of women are eager to rape him... It feels like a setup.]

[Is the person upstairs sick? No external factors can change the fact that the perpetrator forced himself on women! The victim-blaming mentality should have been eliminated long ago!]

Please focus on the event itself and avoid misleading the public or spreading rumors! We suggest that relevant departments directly intervene to investigate the facts and reveal the truth to the people!

[I agree with the comment above! We should focus on the outcome of the legal process and support the victims in seeking justice and help, rather than inflicting secondary harm on them through the internet and keyboards!]

...

Just as the discussion was getting heated, the hotel also released a video.

Those are security cameras in the hotel corridor.

Because it's been a while, the video quality isn't very clear.

However, it's not hard to see that Ning Wan in the video was indeed led into a room by Shen Fu in a swaying manner.

As a result, public opinion on the internet became overwhelmingly one-sided.

More and more people began to join the condemnation of Chen Fu.

Just then, the sudden appearance of another person further enhanced the credibility of the news...

...

Capitalizing on the buzz, Big Potato Entertainment News Network launched a live broadcast of the event.

Sensing the juicy gossip, netizens flocked to the live stream.

The number of viewers on the live stream instantly exceeded one million.

The person invited to participate in the interview this time was none other than Ning Wan's mother, Su Lin.

Su Lin looked haggard in the live stream.

Her eyes were red and swollen, like big walnuts from crying. Even her carefully applied makeup and hair couldn't hide the weariness and vicissitudes in her eyes.

Before the interview even began, Su Lin was already moved to tears.

The host sat down next to her, handed her a tissue, and asked with concern, "Are you alright? If you can't do the interview, we can postpone it to another day..."

"No," Su Lin interrupted her, her eyes resolute. "I can do it!"

"I've mustered the courage to stand here today to reveal the truth to the public. To seek justice for the Ning family and for my poor daughter!!!"

She wiped away her tears, then took a deep breath: "I'm ready, let's begin."

...

As the host introduced the story with music, he addressed the audience: "There are many conflicting accounts of this rape case circulating online, and I believe everyone is eager to know the truth. Today, we are honored to have Ms. Su with us to answer the questions of all our viewers who are concerned about this matter."

The host turned to Su Lin and asked softly, "Ms. Su, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Shen Fu, he's a shameless rapist!"

As soon as Su Lin finished speaking, the scene erupted in an uproar.

She gritted her teeth and cursed, "I was a perfectly good girl, so young, and he ruined me... That beast! He's not human! Waaah..."

Su Lin was emotional and covered her face with her hands, crying uncontrollably.

His shoulders were shrugging incessantly, as if he had used a great deal of effort to calm himself down.

The host then asked, "So, did Shen Fu and Ms. Ning know each other before? And how did they meet at the hotel?"

“How could we possibly know them?” Su Lin calmed herself down and said, “We’re just a small family, how could we possibly have the opportunity to get to know those high-ranking officials and dignitaries?”

“...That day, the three of us decided to go to a hotel for dinner on a whim. Halfway through the meal, our child said she wasn’t feeling well and left to go to the restroom, after which she disappeared without a trace.” Su Lin recalled, “We waited for her in the restaurant for a long time, but she didn’t come back, so we guessed that she might have gone home early. So we took a taxi home to look for her.”

"We searched all night and waited all night. But she didn't come back until the early hours of the next morning..."

Recalling the details of that time, Su Lin couldn't help but cry bitterly again: "When the child came home, her clothes were disheveled and she was in a daze... When we asked her, she wouldn't say anything and just locked herself in the room."

"After what happened, her father and I didn't dare to push her too hard; we could only stay by her side and take good care of her. We never expected..."

The host handed her another piece of paper: "Then why didn't you choose to call the police and seek legal help at the time?"

“As parents, we should plan far ahead for our children. How could we dare to call the police after something like this happened to our child!” Su Lin was on the verge of collapse: “How important is a girl’s reputation? I can’t gamble with my child’s future.”

Su Lin appeared very excited, but many netizens in the live stream chat were also calmly analyzing the situation.

In response to several questions raised by them, the host asked Su Lin: "Many netizens are curious, as there have been news reports that you and your husband do not like your child and often abuse and beat her. Is this true?"
