Yu Jingchen's words ignited Ye Zhiwei's anger. She retorted angrily, "Something you can't control? What do you mean, Mr. Yu, that you can't control? You clearly manipulated public opinion, spread negative emotions, and guided everyone's thoughts. You deleted all dissenting opinions. Is this what you mean by not doing anything!"

Yu Jingchen smiled and said, "Miss Ye, you are a law student. What did I do? Did I guide public opinion? How could I guide public opinion? I am just a capitalist, not some magician with mind-reading abilities. My news media only share their own thoughts. If you say that, Miss Ye, I will sue you for defamation."

There are actually shameless people like Yu Jingchen in this world.

Ye Zhiwei hung up the phone immediately; she couldn't listen to anything Yu Jingchen was saying.

She lay anxiously in bed, waiting for a turnaround. Ye Zhiwei barely slept all night. She woke up early the next day intending to ask Jiang Jianian about the situation, but instead received a message from Jiang Jianian at 5:30: I've gone to the company. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Remember to eat on time.

Ye Zhiwei only managed to fall asleep around 3:30 last night, and she didn't even know when Jiang Jianian came back or when he left.

The online criticism lasted for three days.

Just three days later, things took a turn for the better when people started mentioning that Jiang Jianian was also a victim.

Domestic violence, father's abandonment, mother's suicide due to unbearable domestic violence, Ye Qingcheng's adoption of the child, Jiang Jianian's achievements as a top scholar, the youngest researcher in the research institute, and the development of a chip therapy for cancer have spread in a small circle. This is an act of self-exposure of scars. The best way to suppress public opinion is to appear as a victim. If Jiang Jianian is also a victim, then it will be difficult to continue to label him as the son of a murderer.

This is certainly a good method.

This is a story that changes everyone's perspective, a development as miraculous as a novel: the boy who was almost insulted by everyone for three days was actually abused since childhood, and even his mother committed suicide because she couldn't bear it. Jiang Yanqiang basically ignored Jiang Jianian, except when he asked for money, he would beat and steal Jiang Jianian's scholarship. Jiang Jianian lived a terrible life in this way until his senior year of high school, and it seemed that he was truly redeemed when he came to the Ye family.

Jiang Yanqiang was arrested after Jiang Jianian moved into the Ye family home, and the person who reported the case was Ye Zhiwei.

Jiang Jianian himself is also very outstanding. He is a genius. In his senior year of high school, he won first place in an international biology competition and was included in the list of recommended students. Instead of participating in the recommended students, he took the college entrance examination. After the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the research institute by special consideration. He was then admitted to the Department of Clinical Medicine at Yenching University. Not only that, he was also selected by the college professors as one of the researchers in the research project. In addition, he is outstanding in appearance. The occasional award photos on the Internet show him as a handsome young man.

Jiang Jianian suddenly became a cold-faced but warm-hearted person.

But this method is too cruel. It comes at the cost of reopening Jiang Jianian's bloody scars. Ye Zhiwei has always known that when Jiang Jianian was being abused and domestically assaulted by Jiang Yanqiang, he had already discovered some of the things Jiang Yanqiang had done. He didn't report it to the police to prevent the domestic violence from being exposed and the spotlight from directly revealing his private affairs. He has never liked others knowing his private affairs. He carefully hid his scars, even wearing long-sleeved shirts to cover them up.

Because Jiang Jianian didn't want others to know about this, and he didn't want anyone to interfere or meddle in his abuse at the hands of Jiang Yanqiang, he had been planning to resolve the matter in his own way.

This was the beginning of Jiang Jianian's descent into darkness. If it weren't for Ye Zhiwei, he would have already started preparing for this. When Jiang Yanqiang hit him, he was already capable of fighting back, but he never fought back or complained. He just stood there and let Jiang Yanqiang abuse him, which alarmed the neighbors.

Everyone who witnessed it knew that Jiang Jianian was a good kid. Even when his father beat him so badly, he didn't fight back, let alone call the police.

This is why, even though Jiang Jianian killed someone in the original storyline, no one suspected him. The neighbors only mentioned him as a pitiful, unfortunate child, a kind-hearted child with a cold exterior but a warm heart.

Because the case was unrelated to Jiang Jianian, and Jiang Jianian was a senior in high school and had to attend school, the police did not summon Jiang Jianian for questioning. Jiang Jianian then kept the matter to himself.

The original plot was like this, especially when Ye Zhiwei first got to know Jiang Jianian. Every time this matter was mentioned, although Jiang Jianian appeared cold on the surface, Ye Zhiwei could feel that he had erected a protective barrier, and he clearly felt violated by some of Ye Zhiwei's questions at that time.

This boy, who was so obsessed with hiding his scars, has now revealed this past event publicly.

After seeing that the media outlet that initially reposted the message was a media company under the Ji family's name, Ye Zhiwei couldn't help but call Ji Shuli. As soon as the call connected, Ye Zhiwei asked directly, "Did you have those comments on the internet released by someone else?"

"What remarks?"

"Jiang Jianian's past," Ye Zhiwei asked, frowning.

Ji Shuli took a deep breath and said helplessly, "Little cousin, this is the best way to clear our name right now. Many shareholders of the company have already sold their shares, and they are basically being taken over by people from our side. The stock is about to hit the daily limit down. We need the fastest and best way to clear our name and turn the Ye Group around. So we must leave a good impression on Jiang Jianian. Otherwise, even if Peng Yuezeng wants to invest in Jiang Jianian, it will be difficult to achieve the effect we want under these circumstances."

“Why must these stories be reported? Jiang Jianian wouldn’t want his past to be spread around on the internet like this. He’s a very proud person. I know a better way. I can take over the company too. If Dad doesn’t trust me, I can learn. I can switch majors. If all else fails, I can ask Grandpa to come and teach me personally. With Grandpa willing to teach me, that should shut those people up. This way isn’t fair to Jiang Jianian. We can have other ways. We can do as I say.” Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath and said casually, “Actually, law and economics are two interconnected fields. I won’t be too bad at taking over the company. I will study this carefully… Cousin, let Dad answer the phone. I’ll talk to him about this.”

“Little cousin,” Ji Shuli remained silent, not interrupting Ye Zhiwei, and listened quietly to everything Ye Zhiwei said before answering, “It was Jiang Jianian who suggested this method.”

This is public opinion; it's very easy to control. With just a little push, Jiang Jianian has learned Yu Jingchen's methods.
