In an instant, Qiao Chu's sleepiness vanished.
She was also thinking about the whole thing very quickly.
Jiang Zhi also woke up, took out his phone, and looked at the news online.
Jiang Zhi was instantly enraged.
His expression was also very solemn and unusually serious, and his eyes were blazing with anger.
The veins on both sides of his temples looked like they were about to bulge out.
Based solely on a few photos and fabricated stories, they immediately accused him and Qiao Chu of poisoning stray dogs and cats.
Those netizens are utterly idiots. They can't distinguish right from wrong. They actually cursed Qiao Chu to miscarry, cursed her to be unable to have children, and even said they were unworthy of having children. They also said many other nasty things, viciously cursing the child...
Those comments were not only malicious, but also revealed a particularly dark side.
That's really too much!
Jiang Zhi saw it, but he didn't show it to Qiao Chu, not wanting to spoil her mood or upset her emotions.
Jiang Zhi immediately called to request the removal of the trending topic and to limit the amount of traffic to prevent the matter from escalating.
...
Qiao Chu: "Qiao Nuan, thank you for informing me in time."
Qiao Nuan: "No matter what I say, I don't believe you and your brother-in-law would do such a thing. Someone must be deliberately framing you. There are still photos of you confronting stray dogs and cats online, but those people just followed suit and cursed you, and the curses were very nasty."
Qiao Chu: "I understand. We'll investigate immediately and handle it properly."
Qiao Nuan: "Today is JOE's new product launch. This is such a coincidence, it's definitely not just a rumor."
Qiao Chu: "The whole thing is indeed not simple. I need to understand it fully before I can draw any conclusions."
Qiao Nuan: "I'm hanging up now, I'm going to work. Dad and Mom should know soon, I'll talk to them and we'll figure something out together."
Qiao Chu: "Mm!"
Qiao Nuan: "Don't worry, we won't let the bad guys get away with it!"
...
Jiang Zhi called Qin Yun and told him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Jiang Zhi also reported the incident to the police, and the police launched an investigation.
In response to this matter, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu issued a statement denying the distorted facts that they wanted to poison stray cats and dogs. Their lawyers are also gathering evidence against those who spread rumors.
The lawyer has also collected evidence of the harsh online comments, including some vicious personal attacks.
Those who meet the requirements for legal liability will all be taken to court, and no one will escape the net.
With this warning, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu took their rights seriously, and the malicious rumors gradually subsided.
...
The director of the Haicheng Animal Rescue Station has spoken out.
He also gave an interview to the media.
He was just telling the truth.
"Yesterday, Mr. Qin Yun, Mr. Jiang Zhi's assistant, contacted us to relocate and rescue these stray cats and dogs, with the expenses to be covered by Mr. Jiang Zhi. We immediately found a place and prepared to relocate and resettle these stray cats and dogs today. We never expected that some malicious people would use them to create a scandal."
This behavior should be strongly condemned and those responsible should be held legally accountable. Stray animals' lives are lives too; how dark must the minds of those who cruelly poison them be! We absolutely cannot let shameless villains go unpunished, nor can we allow kind-hearted people to be disheartened by malicious public opinion.
While clarifying the facts, the station manager showed the media the agreement that had been signed the previous night.
This is a newly rented house in the suburbs for the animal rescue station, which also has a large yard.
Media: "Why didn't you relocate and resettle them on the same day?"
Station Chief: "In recent years, the number of abandoned pets has been increasing, and our rescue station's existing housing has reached its limit. We simply cannot accommodate more than twenty stray cats and dogs. This is because they have not yet undergone quarantine and cannot be housed with the existing animals."
The newly rented house hasn't been cleaned yet and needs disinfection, so the earliest we can relocate those stray dogs and cats is noon today. Mr. Jiang Zhi's assistant has been assisting us with this matter; he's genuinely doing good deeds.
Without this news, the animal rescue station would receive almost no attention, and our rescue funds would be very limited. Normally, besides donations of supplies from kind-hearted individuals, the funds for animal rescue are also raised through crowdfunding efforts. Our colleagues have also contributed a lot of money, and we ourselves face financial difficulties.
Here, I urge everyone to be kind. If you don't like pets, please don't abandon them. They have lives and feelings too. If everyone takes action, there will naturally be fewer stray dogs and cats, and less harm they cause. Please treat them kindly.
...
Qiao Chu and Jiang Zhi shared an interview video with the director of the Haicheng Animal Rescue Station and promised to continue to support the rescue organization. They also joined the call for animal welfare.
Subsequently, Ye Huai took the lead in forwarding the message and also pledged to provide financial assistance.
Following this, many celebrities also spoke out, offering to provide financial assistance and demanding a thorough investigation to uncover the truth and prevent the kind-hearted from being discouraged.
The Dongyang Group's charitable foundation also announced its funding, calling on everyone to jointly resist abandonment and urging pet owners to have their pets regularly quarantined, with the cost covered by the foundation.
By the afternoon, the situation had reversed. From the initial vicious insults, people began to speak rationally, and more and more people supported and jointly resisted the egregious behavior.
Many netizens have also spoken out, calling for a thorough investigation to uncover the truth and restore the facts, so that stray animals cannot be wrongfully killed.

Rong Sheng questioned Rong Yan sternly about this matter.
Rong Yan sneered and denied it: "I didn't do anything! Dad, don't you believe me?"
Rong Sheng: "Those who do many unrighteous deeds will surely perish. It's best to have some virtue in life! If you didn't do it, and you can be at peace with yourself and be upright, that's good enough!"
"Am I really that bad? Would I really stoop to such a vicious act? Why do you suspect me?"
"Yan Yan, do you know that a bad impression can last a long time? Getting rid of that impression isn't something you can do in a day or two. It could be a stain on your life. You need to understand this."
"Isn't the police investigating? Let's wait for the results! After all this fuss, Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu still ended up getting both fame and fortune. They got off easy. Maybe it was all a publicity stunt, a self-directed performance!"
"Alright, alright, get out of here. Watch your language!"
Rong Yan looked unhappy and was also full of resentment.
She then left the chairman's office with an air of arrogance.
...
Back in her office, Rong Yan called Xia Fan.
The night before last, he suddenly contacted her using an unfamiliar number.
She didn't know it, and answered the phone.
They chatted for a while, and he gave her some advice, which she decided to give a try.
Rong Yan was quite surprised by the sudden incident of poisoning stray cats and dogs.
"Xia Fan, did you do that?"
