Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Exclusive (Contains bullets...
Everyone was excitedly eating melons, but the melon field disappeared. Who wouldn't be angry? And you can tell at a glance that this melon is big enough to make social news.
Look at what the title says, "Former talent show champion and high school student was taken to the police station during class." It seems to be full of important points no matter how you look at it. Moreover, the person involved is Lin Yimu, who has been on the hot search from time to time recently. This directly ignited everyone's discussion.
Of course, the people who clicked in were either passers-by, fans or haters. The methods used by the haters to criticize Lin Yi Mu were endless. They seized on the fact that Lin Yi Mu was sent to the police station at a young age and criticized him harshly, thereby inciting everyone's sensitive points about children's education. Therefore, the comment section was full of people scolding Lin Yi Mu.
And when the trending search was removed and no negative information about Lin Yimu could be found on the Internet, everyone's already negative emotions exploded immediately.
Originally it was just a discussion about children's education, with some remarks about how Lin Yimu was a bad student, and that even if he studied well but had bad behavior he would go astray, and other topics used to teach his own children a lesson.
Now, suddenly, the hot searches have been removed and the messages have been deleted, and some people’s accounts have been blocked, which has confused everyone.
As a result, those who were criticizing Lin Yimu found an opportunity and began to direct their dissatisfaction towards conspiracy theories, and even started a rumor that Lin Yimu's family was very rich, which was why people deleted all the hot searches and news on the Internet. This also made those who hated the rich start to dislike Lin Yimu.
[Where does this Lin Yimu come from?] Can all the information on the Internet be cleaned up? 】
[I'm saying, this Lin Yimu who is on the hot search every day is not simple at first glance. If he is simple, who can stay on the hot search every day? 】
[It’s good to be rich. You can easily remove yourself from the trending searches, and even if you are taken to the police station, you can probably get out safely. 】
[What's the use of having money? You have such a bad character and you are still in the police station. You will be a waste in the future. 】
[It was he who organized the online exam some time ago, right? I heard that his grades were pretty good, but I didn't expect his character to be so bad. 】
[The above said that the person has a bad character, why are you so sour? Even if someone can do it, that is their ability. Moreover, the previous hot search only said that the other party went to the police station, but did not say that he must have done something bad. 】
[Why would a student be sent to the police station? He must have done something bad. I heard that he was taken away from the classroom. If nothing happened, it wouldn't be so embarrassing to be taken away from the class directly. 】
…
As more and more people joined in the discussion, the topic gradually became more popular. More and more people started discussing the gap between the rich and the poor, and occasionally mentioned Lin Yimu. Of course, most of the comments were insults.
Lin Yimu knew nothing about this and was currently concentrating on doing exercises in the training class.
Today is Thursday, and there is still one day before the exam on Saturday, so the math teacher did not give a lecture in the evening self-study training class today. Instead, he took out a set of league test papers from previous years and asked everyone to try to do them, so that they would have some idea of the exam content.
So at this moment everyone is concentrating on checking math problems and has no time to slack off or play with their phones.
After the first evening self-study session, Lin Yimu had almost finished the league test paper and was discussing the solutions to several questions with Huang Minglei and others, so as to promote each other's learning and communication.
At this moment, some students in the class who were slacking off on their mobile phones during break time saw the topic that everyone was posting on Weibo, and they all clicked on it out of curiosity.
After reading the comments from netizens, everyone looked at Lin Yimu with curiosity. The curiosity in their hearts was like a cat's claws scratching. In the end, a boy who was close to Lin Yimu couldn't help but ask out loud, "Lin Yimu, is your family really rich? Is your parents' profession of teachers to hide the fact that your family is rich?"
After the boy asked this question, all the students in the class looked at Lin Yimu with curiosity. It was obvious that everyone was very curious about this question.
Lin Yimu was discussing the solution to the problem with Huang Minglei and Ye Yuankai when he suddenly heard such a puzzling sentence. He looked up at the boy who asked the question with some confusion.
The boy looked at Lin Yimu's puzzled expression and knew that he didn't know what was going on online. He immediately took out his phone and said, "From your expression, I know you definitely didn't see the news online. Here, this is today's hot search, saying that your family is actually invisible rich, and your parents' teaching profession is just a cover for experiencing life, otherwise the news of you being in the police station before would not have been suppressed so easily, and you could even come out of the police station safely after being in."
While the boy was speaking, Lin Yimu was already reading the messages on his phone. After the boy finished speaking, he also read the whole story, but after reading it, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Then he searched for his messages on his phone again, but found that none of them could be found. His frown deepened. He just asked the other party to help deal with the trending news, but he didn't expect the other party to directly and rudely remove the message. After removing it, he didn't do anything to deal with the aftermath, leaving so many troubles.
Thinking about this, Lin Yimu forgot to answer the other party. It was not until Huang Minglei stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him that he came back to his senses. He looked at the boy and said, "No, my family is just an ordinary working-class family. Didn't the news break out on the Internet before? Don't believe this kind of thing."
After the boy confirmed again and again that Lin Yimu was not lying, he said "oh" with a bit of disappointment. The others who were waiting to hear the gossip also looked disappointed.
After Lin Yimu apologized to everyone, he turned and left the classroom and went to the corridor to make a phone call.
————
That night, the black fans and marketing accounts who deliberately stirred up topics to insult Lin Yi Mu on the Internet all received a lawyer's letter and a court summons, and the plaintiff was Lin Yi Mu.
Prior to this, Lin Yimu also posted a Weibo post, listing a long list of account IDs and attaching a lawyer's letter and court summons at the end, followed by a clarification article.
[Lin Yimu: In view of the fact that the rumors and slanders against me in recent times have had a substantial impact on me, I will take legal action from today onwards to hold the rumor mongers and participants accountable. I have submitted evidence to the relevant lawyers and the court. Cyberbullies are unforgivable. Be aware of this! 】
Then a top lawyer from the most famous Huadong Law Firm in Country Z also forwarded this Weibo post, adding a sentence: "I am very happy to serve Mr. Lin Yimu."
This piece of news shocked everyone who was originally discussing Lin Yi Mu's family situation. After seeing the long list, they even wondered if Lin Yi Mu was crazy. He sued so many people alone, and there were probably hundreds of IDs on the list.
Looking at these IDs, no one believed that Lin Yi Mu would really sue them. They all thought that he was just like those celebrities in the entertainment industry, just sending a lawyer's letter to scare everyone, so even if their ID was on it, no one took it seriously, and some even continued to jump around in the comment section.
[Oh, you’re sending a lawyer’s letter. If you have the guts, come and sue me. I’m waiting for you! 】
[Haha, you just brag all day long and even hired a lawyer to play along with you. It seems so great that your family is rich. Can you sue all these people one by one? 】
Who are you trying to scare? If you have the ability, come and see. Grandpa is waiting for you! The one who doesn’t sue is his grandson! 】
[For a social scum like you, what's the point of having good grades? You never know what kind of life you will end up living. You're still so generous as to hire a lawyer to act with you. Don't squander all your family's wealth. 】
…
The black fans were jumping happily under Lin Yi Mu's Weibo, while the bigger marketing accounts began to keep silent and pretend to be dumb. However, it was useless because they had received court summonses at their homes, and they were so scared that they quickly deleted the news about Lin Yi Mu.
Especially the marketing account called Entertainment Gossip Squad that took the lead in causing trouble. Under the hood it was operating a whole studio. Now the entire team was taken down overnight and is currently being tried in fear in the interrogation room.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
A man with a sturdy build but a baby face sat behind the desk in the interrogation room. He stared seriously at a fat and somewhat wretched-looking man sitting on the chair in front of him and asked in a cold voice.
But coupled with his childish baby face, it seems so out of place no matter how you look at it, and it's not even scary.
However, the fat man sitting on the labor chair looked nervous and pale, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, showing his nervous mood at the moment.
When he heard the question from the baby-faced man, his heart trembled and his body trembled. He shrugged and stammered, "No, I don't know what you are asking?"
This fat man is the person in charge of the marketing studio of the Entertainment Gossip Team. He is even the one who sends people to release negative news about Lin Yi Mu every time. Today, he had just released the negative news about Lin Yi Mu and was excitedly watching the development of the whole process with everyone in the studio. However, within a few hours, the negative news about Lin Yi Mu was suddenly removed.
This made them think that Lin Yi Mu had spent money to suppress the incident, which of course did not meet their expectations, so they took advantage of the situation to stir up everyone's jealousy about the gap between the rich and the poor. He even had people dig into Lin Yi Mu's family privacy.
This time, he stirred up everyone's jealousy and hatred of the rich towards Lin Yi Mu, causing netizens to start cursing Lin Yi Mu, thus completing his mission of blackening the entire network. He was still feeling excited when a group of people rushed in, surrounded him, and captured him.
When he heard the other party's question, he felt guilty and couldn't help stuttering.
The baby-faced man looked at the wretched man and could tell that he was guilty. He slammed the table and said coldly, "You'd better tell the truth. What did you do today? Who told you to do this? Tell the truth, and you'll suffer less."
The fat man was startled by the noise of the other party slamming the table, and he broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words. He immediately spinelessly told everything he knew.
It turns out that the real owner behind this gossip entertainment team's studio is Jihe Media. The reason they are holding on to Lin Yimu is because Lin Yimu had already agreed to sign a contract with their company, and they had even planned to make an official announcement. But when the time came, Lin Yimu said he would not sign and even would not enter the entertainment industry.
This caught them all off guard. After all, they had already spread the news in the circle and were very proud of having signed a champion. But now they were suddenly stood up and were ridiculed by people in the circle. The CEO of Jihe Media started to hold a grudge against Lin Yimu.
The CEO of Jihe Media is one of those nouveau riche who got rich through luck, and was persuaded by his friends to enter the entertainment industry and open Jihe Entertainment. Everything has been going smoothly for him, and now that he has been stood up, he is inevitably embarrassed, so he resorts to such despicable means.
The only purpose is to ruin Lin Yimu's reputation and make him blackmailed on the entire Internet. Since he doesn't want to enter the entertainment industry, just cut off his path and make it impossible for him to have any chance.
Of course, Yan Xingyu, who had caused so much trouble before, was also involved in this. However, the other party just felt that since Lin Yimu had been slandered to such an extent, he might as well take advantage of him completely, which led to the mistake of deleting the Weibo post.
The baby-faced man found it unbelievable when he heard what had happened. It was too petty to cause public opinion to attack a person just for such a thing.
Thinking about the phone call he received tonight, Lin Yimu was still worried about this kind of thing on the phone. Although the other party didn't say anything about him, it was really embarrassing for him to think that he was taken advantage of by such a person because of his negligence and even had to ask for external help.
This baby-faced man was actually the person assigned by the higher-ups to be in charge of liaison. His name was Zhang Hechang and he was affiliated with the National Security Bureau in Beijing. He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard that he was transferred to a student to be in charge of liaison and protection matters. But after knowing that Lin Yimu had the authority to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he changed his attitude and finally understood why someone had to be sent to protect the other party.
Although he didn't know how capable this young man was, since the senior leaders were so optimistic about him, he certainly wouldn't doubt it.
Zhang Hechang suddenly thought of the foreign aid he had invited today. Now that he already knew the whole story, he could start dealing with it. Of course, he still had to talk to Lin Yimu about this matter.
————
On the other side, after the evening self-study class, the math teacher began to remind us of some precautions for the Saturday exam, and also said, "Everyone, remember to check your exam supplies. There will be no training class tomorrow, Friday, but you can't slack off. Remember to gather at the school gate at 7:30 on Saturday morning and go to the preliminary exam together."
After several rounds of selection, there are only ten people left in the training class. They are all promising contestants that the math teacher is very optimistic about. So he doesn't want anyone to fail to make it to the preliminary round due to carelessness, so he will say a few words whenever he has the chance these days.
After everyone packed up their textbooks, Lin Yi Mu and Huang Minglei walked towards the school gate while discussing today's preliminary exam questions. After parting at the school gate, Lin Yi Mu had just entered his home when he received a call from Zhang Hechang.
After Lin Yimu received the call and heard the whole story, he fell silent.
After hanging up the phone, I was cursing myself in my heart for being indecisive. If I had issued a statement earlier or even explained things to Jihe Media earlier, there wouldn't be so many problems now.
When he was just reborn, he always felt uneasy in his heart. He thought that as long as the contract had not been signed, such a large company would not take him, a layman, seriously. Who knew that the other party, as a big boss, would be so petty and cause so much trouble.
Sighing, Lin Yimu slapped his forehead and scolded himself for being careless again. He must be extremely careful in doing things in the future. If he didn't have someone backing him up in his cooperation with the country, he might never know who was trying his best to discredit him behind the scenes.
That night, a lot of negative information about Jihe Media broke out on the Internet, including illegal incidents such as tax evasion, tax avoidance, and pornography, which directly triggered various discussions among the night owls who were still awake.
Someone even revealed evidence that the CEO of Jihe Media had violated the law. Overnight, everyone was calling for a boycott of Jihe Media, and the company was on the verge of collapse, making the night owls who liked to watch the show busy in the melon field with great pleasure.
[There are so many melons today that I am too busy running back and forth to handle them all. 】
What day is today? The explosive news one after another is really shocking. 】
[I really didn't expect this. I knew Jihe Media was not clean, but I didn't expect it to be so dirty. What's the difference between these celebrities and those who sell themselves? So disgusting! 】
[These big bosses and big companies are really disgusting. They make so much money every year but still steal and evade taxes. Such companies should be severely punished! 】
[Those who steal or evade taxes are not good people, and such people must never be tolerated! 】
The night owls on the Internet charged in the comment section in indignation, while Lin Yimu tidied himself up and went to bed early to rest.
The next morning, the first thing Lin Yi Mu did was to open his mobile phone to check the messages. After Zhang Hechang called him and told him what happened last night, he told him that he didn't need to worry about it and that he just needed to study hard. So Lin Yi Mu slept soundly that night.
But one can't help but be curious about how state agencies will deal with such private and underhanded tactics.
Lin Yi Mu looked at the various messages on Weibo on his mobile phone, as well as the news that Ji He Media was investigated by the tax authorities and many people were arrested. Lin Yi Mu widened his eyes in surprise. He did not expect them to be so fast.
After browsing through all the useful information, Lin Yimu breathed a sigh of relief, put down his phone and went to wash up.
…
Lin Yimu was attending classes at school with peace of mind, but the Internet was in turmoil. Many people condemned and insulted Jihe Media's tax evasion and celebrity involvement in pornography. Many people were furious at the collapse of their idols.
Among these stars, there is Yan Xingyu, who previously wanted to step on Lin Yimu to get ahead, and even a few popular young actors and actresses.
Taking advantage of the moment when Jihe Media was about to collapse, many people who disliked the situation came forward to step on it. Some even revealed who was the boss behind the Eight Monsters Entertainment Team and why they targeted Lin Yimu.
After these hot searches slowly rushed to the top, another hot search related to Lin Yimu also slowly climbed to the front row of hot searches. It rushed to the front row after Lin Yimu’s morning class ended, second only to the news from Jihe Media.
#Lin Yimu sues rumormongers#
This tag climbed from the back row to the third place in just one morning, which made the netizens who started to watch the show in the evening very excited. Everyone thought that the bombardment of various news all night long was lively enough, but today something happened that had a follow-up. At the same time, it was the first time that everyone knew that state agencies could act so quickly.
The content of the Weibo message clearly stated the more than 100 online IDs that Lin Yimu had posted before, followed by their brief personal information and a list of their previous remarks, and finally the results of their punishment.
Except for one or two large marketing accounts and the internet trolls hired to guide public opinion who were detained for seven days and fined 500 yuan, those who had been scolding Lin Yimu were only given some ideological education and then taken back by their families, as many of them were minors who were obsessed with chasing stars.
However, these will be recorded in the file and leave a criminal record, which will affect your future schooling or job hunting.
After seeing these punishments, some netizens began to become more chaste and stood up to accuse Lin Yimu of being too cruel.
[This punishment is too harsh. They are just children. How could Lin Yimu be so cruel? What should they do in the future? 】
[I didn't expect Lin Yimu to be so tough. He sued as soon as he said he would. Moreover, he sent out the lawyer's letter and subpoena yesterday, and there was a result today. Isn't this efficiency too fast? 】
[Who can blame them for having money and connections? Otherwise it wouldn’t be so quick. The normal court process would take several months, and some people might even have to wait a year. 】
[I think what he did was a bit too much. After all, these people are just minors. He directly sued them and left a criminal record. How will these children go to school and find jobs in the future? That’s too cruel. 】
[That’s right, those marketing accounts that do bad things are fine, but how can they be so cruel as to do these kids? How are they going to live in the future? 】
These are the people who started to criticize Lin Yimu after seeing that many of the people who provided the information were minors. Of course, there were also people who understood the situation and spoke up for Lin Yimu.
[You all know that they are minors, but why don’t you see that when Lin Yimu was chased and scolded by them, isn’t it the fault of their parents who didn’t discipline them properly that these children are in this situation? 】
[You say Lin Yimu is cruel, why don’t you try how it feels to be chased and scolded by someone? These children in your eyes, are swearing all the time and even jumping around on Weibo every day. Isn't the reason they are being taught a lesson not because their parents didn't teach them well? If parents don't teach their children well, of course someone else will do it for them. 】
[If it were me, I would sue them directly. Why don’t you think about the consequences when you keep scolding others? Just because they are minors, can they attack and insult others at will without any responsibility? Being a minor is not a reason to forgive cyberbullying. 】
These comments that speak up for Lin Yimu will of course be disliked by those people who are too virtuous, but most people still think that there is nothing wrong with Lin Yimu doing this. After all, he has been being chased and scolded in the past month, and even the words "parents" and "genitals" were used. No matter who is being scolded for no reason for so long, they will definitely do the same.
As a result, a new round of arguments broke out on the Internet, and Lin Yimu's hot search tag directly became the number one hot search, which amazed the passers-by who came to watch.
The protagonist of the hot search event, Lin Yimu, was concentrating on studying in class and preparing for the preliminary round tomorrow. He did not pay any attention to the curious and gossipy looks of the people around him.
