Chapter 1012 Having a Big Face is a Disease
Ye Wanxi wasn't surprised by what the other person said.
Strictly speaking, Ye Wanxi helped out of her own free will, but in the end, she not only didn't get any benefits, but she was also smeared with dirty water.
If they continue to play dead and show no reaction at this point, it would be more than just disheartening.
"Of course I trust you. Then I'll leave this matter to you."
The person on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and hurriedly reassured Ye Wanxi that they would soon be able to give her a reasonable explanation.
The person who posted the message probably didn't know, or perhaps they did know but were just hoping to get away with it.
Those who go to the rescue will almost always film the entire process. This is partly to urge those going to the rescue to enforce the law impartially and do their job properly, but more importantly, it is to prevent the current situation from happening again.
When both sides have their own version of events, video evidence is the most direct and compelling evidence.
Therefore, after greeting Ye Wanxi, the official account immediately released video clips recorded at the scene.
The first thing released was naturally the short video related to Ye Wanxi. To help people better understand the background of the situation at the time, the video even added a short clip at the beginning showing the shocking scene of a giant banyan tree baring its fangs and claws to attack a residential building, which Ye Wanxi managed to stop with great effort, as well as the spectacular scene of the giant old banyan tree being set on fire and turning half the sky red.
Only then did the brief conversation between Ye Wanxi and her companion, who had dealt with the old banyan tree, arrive to meet the residents who had already been safely evacuated.
In the video, several residents, young and old, men and women, immediately accused Ye Wanxi of eating for free with the people who risked their lives to evacuate them, and of not being able to guarantee their personal safety. They then demanded that their community be designated as a key protected area and that they be treated as key protected individuals, with staff available 24/7.
The lines, "You're so capable, you should be protecting us," and "If anything happens next time, you'll be held responsible!" are blatantly manipulative.
It exudes an aggressive and condescending attitude, as if to say, "It is your duty to protect us, and it is your responsibility to protect us. If you fail to protect us, it is your dereliction of duty."
The video was jarring to the ears of the viewers. Some who had previously cursed Ye Wanxi for being arrogant and indifferent to human life felt a pang of shame, and their hands trembled uncontrollably as they typed.
Ye Wanxi's fans, who had been suppressed and criticized for a long time, seemed to have gained a sense of pride after seeing this video, and some of the more sentimental people even shed tears on the spot.
[I knew it! I knew it! Xiao Yezi would never be the kind of person who disregards life and refuses to help someone in distress. There must have been some special reason why she said such a thing. Thank goodness I waited for this! Thank goodness the authorities have video evidence proving Xiao Yezi's innocence, otherwise she would have been condemned indefinitely! Waaah…]
[I knew something was off about that video as soon as I watched it. It was so short, just two sentences, with no context whatsoever. It was blatantly taken out of context. And yet, every time Xiao Yezi is involved, those unscrupulous media outlets act like vampires with prey, relentlessly smearing her with sarcastic and sarcastic remarks. The number of anti-fans and paid trolls is so high; when the news first broke, anyone who said even a slightly positive thing about Xiao Yezi would be labeled a brainless fan. I don't know who the brainless ones are.]
As a grassroots worker who's been busy helping out everywhere lately, I couldn't help but burst into tears when I saw this video. When you interact with a lot of people, you can discover all sorts of situations. Most people will thank you for helping, but some will take it for granted, or even nitpick and criticize you.
I encountered a similar situation a couple of days ago. Several colleagues were so angry they cried on the spot, and some even got reported for talking back. At the time, I thought that the world is unsafe, everyone is full of negative energy, and it's normal to feel unhappy. I figured we should just try to understand each other.
Seeing this video has really made me lose my temper. We're human too, not punching bags. You only see how much money we make and how glamorous we seem, but you can't see how much we do behind the scenes. Mutual understanding starts with "mutual," but some people really don't understand that word, let alone what it means to put yourself in someone else's shoes.
Isn't this just moral blackmail? Isn't Xiao Yezi's statement, "I'm here today for those who deserve to be saved," enough to explain her attitude? Some people deserve to be saved, some don't. It's easy for a farmer and the snake scenario to play out before you know it—who can stand that? If you're weak, fine, but have some self-awareness, behave yourself, and don't cause trouble or hold others back, and no one will say anything. But to put on this "I'm weak, therefore I'm right; you all have to give way to me" attitude—who are you trying to disgust?
[Exactly! Having a big face is a problem, it needs treatment! Don't tell me all lives are human, regardless of status. Human lives are indeed equal, but they are divided into good and bad. Some people deserve to experience the brutal beatings of mutated plants and animals.]
It must be said that Ye Wanxi's fans were very prescient.
Among those who previously cursed Ye Wanxi, there were quite a few who, like the poster, believed themselves to be weak and that powerful people should protect the weak and treat them like royalty.
Besides, there are also some self-righteous saints who claim to be people-oriented, but even after this video was released, they still felt that Ye Wanxi was too indifferent, didn't care about human lives, and shouldn't have treated these people differently, but should have treated them all equally.
But apart from these people, most people are still clear-headed, rational, and have their own brains. As ordinary people, they do need a hero to save them, but if they jump out to support such moral blackmail at this time, it will only discourage those who are trying to help them.
Discussions about Ye Wanxi continue, as do updates about the poster and the rescue workers.
The poster sensed something was wrong after the official account released Ye Wanxi's video. Just as he was hesitating whether to delete the post, the official account released another video.
This video shows the aftermath of Ye Wanxi leaving the community that day, and the follow-up actions taken by He Ziyuan and his group to help resettle the residents.
After Ye Wanxi and her companion left that day, the aggressive group did not back down. Instead, they turned their attention to He Ziyuan and the others who remained behind, making a series of unreasonable demands.
After hearing this, He Ziyuan and the others' faces were even darker than when Ye Wanxi and the other person were there; they almost laughed out of anger.
They also wanted to leave like Ye Wanxi and her companion, but besides these people, there were many more who needed their comfort and help.
