Chapter 1115 Good people shouldn't be tarnished
Ye Wanxi was struck by lightning and hospitalized for several months, which has always been a pain in the hearts of her fans and a "dark history" that countless haters keep harping on.
Even if an ordinary person is walking along the road and gets struck by lightning and killed, most people might think he was unlucky and it's a pity. But some gossipy people will definitely whisper some unfounded speculations, wondering if he did something bad that even God couldn't stand and sent lightning to strike him.
Otherwise, with so many people on the main road, why would the lightning strike you alone instead of everyone else?
A seemingly reasonable and well-founded victim-blaming argument was thus easily generated.
As a celebrity, and a celebrity with considerable public attention, Ye Wanxi naturally faces more criticism than ordinary people.
If someone can create a stain out of thin air when they have none, then this readily available handle is even more problematic.
Before today, many people were still talking about this matter. Ye Wanxi's fans were angry but couldn't do anything about these scoundrels. But today, taking advantage of this opportunity, they are determined to get back all the grievances they suffered before.
This long post by the big fan immediately sparked heated discussions. Those who had previously clamored for Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu to sacrifice themselves immediately turned their guns on this big fan, mocking him for being delusional. Even at a time like this, he didn't forget to play the victim and embellish his master's image. He truly is a good dog.
However, to these people's surprise, the uproar did not last long, and several verified official accounts liked the big fan's long post.
This move surprised many onlookers.
[Am I seeing things? So many big shots liked this post, are you sure it wasn't hacked?]
[Yes, yes, it must have been hacked. That news article was definitely written by the hacker.]
"...Seriously? Even at this point, you can still keep criticizing? Do all the big shots have to show their faces on livestream before you'll shut up?"
Sister, you're overthinking it. Even if they showed their face on the livestream, they'd definitely pretend not to see it and assume the streamer was an imposter. We can never wake up people who're pretending to be asleep, so save your energy.
[So, this is the price Ye Wanxi had to pay for being struck by lightning before the official confirmation that it was for revealing heavenly secrets? This is too much... I don't even know what to say. Are there any people from Beicheng involved who could come forward and share their feelings right now?]
Thanks for the invitation. I'm from Beicheng, and things are in chaos at home right now. My cousin was cursing our benefactor online just a couple of days ago, but now that he knows the truth, my grandma is hitting him with a slipper! My grandma used to have a younger brother who died in an earthquake when he was eight years old, a lifelong pain for the whole family.
According to my grandmother's recollection, this tsunami was far more terrifying than the earthquake of years past, yet not a single member of our family perished—that's an immense act of kindness. Everyone who helped us at the time, and Miss Ye in particular, are our family's lifelong benefactors! I can't speak for others, but anyone in my family who dares to say a bad word about her, no matter who they are, will be severely punished.
Once the first person from Beicheng stood up for Ye Wanxi, a second and a third quickly followed.
Although some people still refuse to believe that Ye Wanxi has such great abilities, they are sarcastic and imply that she believes whatever others say and is not afraid of thanking the wrong person.
But most people still know how to be grateful, especially in the face of major disasters, people always unite exceptionally well.
These negative voices were quickly suppressed and never had a chance to resurface.
The big fan who mustered up the courage to ask the question in her heart burst into tears after seeing the few likes that agreed with her.
Not only her, but the other members of the fan group were also crying their eyes out.
"I knew it, I knew Xiao Yezi wouldn't let us down. She's so hardworking and kind, yet she's constantly being slandered and defamed. As her fans, we can't help her at all; it's such a failure."
"Stop talking! Just thinking about how she risked her life to reveal heavenly secrets, saved so many people, got struck by lightning and ended up in the hospital, suffering so much, and then woke up to find she didn't receive a single word of thanks, but instead was scolded for deserving it, for getting what she deserved—how painful must she have been?"
"Even without today's incident, think about how many good deeds Xiao Yezi has done over the years, how many trafficked children she has saved, and how much money she has donated. In the end, just because a lunatic threatened the lives of the entire city, they rushed to force her to die, as if not dying was a sin. Just put yourself in her shoes, and you'd think you'd go crazy. If it were me, I would have broken down long ago."
"As you all feel sorry for them, we need to stay calm at a time like this! The situation looks favorable to us right now, but things aren't completely resolved yet. Xiao Yezi and President Feng are still in danger. We must keep working hard and absolutely not let those opportunists and keyboard warriors drive them to their deaths!"
The person who released this "truth" probably never imagined that making it public would indirectly help Ye Wanxi win over a wave of fans, making her supporters even more devoted to her.
But Ye Wanxi's fans and the netizens who were discussing the matter were unaware that this report was not the end, but the beginning.
Less than half an hour after the news of the tsunami in Beicheng was released, several fresh reports reignited the topic.
These reports mostly highlight some of the commendable things Ye Wanxi has done since her return.
From discovering child traffickers while filming a variety show, to decisively subduing the traffickers and rescuing the children, and helping the police follow the clues to dismantle the trafficking den and find more trafficked children.
The story unfolds from a small perspective, revealing the secrets hidden in Linjia Village and rescuing the pitiful women who were trafficked there and suffered a living hell, as well as the girls who were abused by their parents for years due to the preference for sons over daughters.
The timely discovery of the strange behavior of the Wu tribe members, the decisive sealing off of the village and reporting it to higher authorities, brought the situation under control as much as possible and reduced many losses.
Some of these reports had been published beforehand, while others were kept completely secret.
For example, they predicted in advance that the town would be flooded by torrential rain, allowing the residents to evacuate early, just like the residents of the northern city, and making every effort to avoid casualties.
Furthermore, they also helped guide more mutated ability users to master their abilities early on, so as to deal with various situations that would follow.
Otherwise, the country would have been in chaos like the outside world long ago, or even worse. How could it be as calm and peaceful as it is now, as if nothing happened?
These things shouldn't have been made public, but because of this unexpected incident, they have to be.
Because everyone knows that if these things are not made public now, they will remain secrets buried forever, and good people will forever bear the stigma.
