Smartphones don't have such a sturdy casing, and Chu Wei's strength was too great, so the screen went black and the phone became unusable.

This immediately stunned Chu Ruolin.

Chu Ruolin kept her head down, her expression constantly shifting.

"Dad, I'm not trying to be mean, but what's the point of getting angry with me? Even if you get angry with everyone online, it won't make a difference. Will smashing your phone make these comments disappear, and will the pressure go away?"

He saw things clearly at this point.

"What are you saying?" Chu Wei frowned.

Chu Ruolin hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "You've seen all these comments online. Everyone knows what you've done. Anyway, I don't think explaining or not explaining is useful, but if you keep doing this and don't say anything, it'll definitely..."

"Smack—"

This time, Chu Wei slapped Chu Ruolin across the face.

However, he had been seriously ill, and although he had woken up, his body had not fully recovered, and he was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

Chu Ruolin was young and strong, so being slapped didn't bother him much; he just felt more regretful and resentful.

"You unfilial son! Listen to what you're saying! Just because someone said it doesn't mean you have to admit it! At a time like this, instead of thinking about how to fight back, you're just trying to provoke me." Chu Wei was about to faint again.

"Then I'll go think of a way." With that, Chu Ruolin got up and walked out.

Chu Wei was furious that he had grown so powerful and dared to do such a thing. He shouted angrily from behind, "Chu Ruolin, did I say you could leave? Come back here..."

However, Chu Ruolin still left the ward under his watchful eyes.

He said he would try to find a solution, but of course he wouldn't.

"You have absolutely no sense of responsibility. How can I possibly groom you to be the next heir of the Chu family?"

Chu Ruolin had already passed away and was no longer able to hear him, but Chu Wei was still cursing loudly in the ward behind him. He was too busy taking care of himself to care about anything else online.

But the more this happens, the more netizens online become emotional because they don't get the responses they deserve.

They were able to dox all sorts of things before, let alone Chu Wei. After another night, netizens even found out where Chu Wei was hospitalized.

Anyone want to team up and take him down?

He's been stirring up trouble behind the scenes from beginning to end. Why does he have so many problems? He keeps wasting public resources; he's shameless.

[Add me to the group to fight him.]

I really want to go to the hospital to see what he looks like now.

[Just a friendly reminder, if he gets so angry he dies, you guys will be in trouble...]

He'd be better off dead soon, then the world would be at peace.

[Wait a minute... Chu Wei is in the hospital. Doesn't he have a son? Why isn't he saying anything? Are they all just cowards?]

That's because, what father, what son.

I think everyone should calm down. The investigation is ongoing from all sides, and the evidence is now basically conclusive that Chu Wei is involved. They definitely won't let him off easily. Let's just wait for the final results and not act impulsively.

Seeing that netizens were also focusing their attention on her, Chu Ruolin became even more flustered.

He had previously gone to Chu Wei, but not only did he not get a solution, he was also humiliated, so he simply went to ask Peng Meijie for help.

"Aunt Mei, what should I do now? My dad is still angry and won't think of a solution. The pressure from the internet is making things even more tense. If this continues, I feel our lives will be greatly affected. Besides, the Han family and the Chu family are both eyeing us covetously. I really don't know what to do, Aunt Mei..."

Chu Ruolin was practically ready to hug Peng Meijie's leg and cry.

"The more you say, the more mistakes you make. What your father did is useless nowadays no matter what you say. Even if you apologize, you won't get anyone's forgiveness. It will only make things worse."

As an outsider, Peng Meijie naturally saw things clearly.

She was now very grateful that when she went to help Chu Wei, she didn't have a clear purpose or make a big fuss. Now that Chu Wei had diverted all attention, no one was paying attention to the Peng family anymore. As long as she was careful in the future, the Peng family would not be implicated.

As for what will happen to Chu Wei...

Anyway, there's absolutely no way to save her.

Regardless of Chu Wei's fate, Chu Ruoxue and Qin Yiheng's actions, and whatever the Han family's future plans, even if Chu Wei wants to fight to the death, who ultimately benefits...

What Peng Meijie needs to do is still those four words: assess the situation and act accordingly.

Chu Ruolin also felt that Peng Meijie's words made sense.

"But I still don't know what to do, Aunt Mei, please help me. Even for my mother's sake, you can't just leave me to die," Chu Ruolin continued to plead.

Speaking of which, Peng Meijie and Chu Ruolin's mother are related by blood, so they can be said to share similar blood. However, Chu Wei is different; he is Chu Ruolin's father and Chu Ruolin's mother's husband. In Peng Meijie's eyes, he is an outsider.

Moreover, Chu Wei did everything, and Chu Ruolin rarely participated, so it wouldn't be difficult to protect Chu Ruolin.

The other child has already made their relationship clear, so it would be unreasonable for Peng Meijie to remain indifferent.

"Don't worry, with Aunt Mei here, nothing will happen to you. You'll stay here with me for the next few days, and you'll do whatever I say, okay?"

Saving Chu Ruolin is possible, but Peng Meijie is used to being the head of the family and everyone obeys her orders. If Chu Ruolin doesn't behave, there's nothing she can do.

Now, Chu Ruolin agrees with whatever Peng Meijie says and nods repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Aunt Mei, I will definitely listen to you."

Peng Meijie was very satisfied.

At Peng Meijie's behest, Chu Ruolin first issued a high-sounding article, claiming that his father was seriously ill and unable to get out of bed, and that he had many things to take care of and could not give specific responses one by one, asking everyone to wait patiently...

In the end, it's all just an excuse.

Surprisingly, the results were quite good.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ruolin naturally trusted Peng Meijie even more and tried every means to please her, forgetting all about visiting Chu Wei at the hospital.

He truly harbored resentment towards Chu Wei.

As the old saying goes, "Don't take on a job you're not qualified for." Chu Wei's attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and now he's in this mess, dragging his whole family down with him. Chu Ruolin herself is at a loss and truly regrets her actions.

Regret turns into hatred...

Chu Wei, whether due to poor health or something else, hadn't contacted him for the past few days and hadn't commented on the things he'd sent.
