What could be more challenging than "I" killing "another me"?

After taking a taxi back to his dorm, Xiao He first packed his things.
He lives in a four-person dormitory with bunk beds, desks underneath, and an ensuite bathroom, which is considered one of the better accommodations among public universities, and everyone is quite satisfied with their living conditions. However, since all the seniors are out doing internships, Xiao He is currently the only one living in the dormitory.
Xiao He first took some time to do a quick cleaning, then ordered takeout and sat back down to eat before finally turning on his computer.
Surprisingly, the celebrity named Ran Yunrui is actually quite famous online, and his car accident has caused quite a stir online.
Thinking of that guy who used profanity as punctuation, Xiao He's curiosity was piqued, and he followed the trending topic to check it out.
Ran Yunrui has starred in two popular idol dramas, and recently it has been reported that he is involved in the production of a major IP idol drama at a film and television base, and will play the male lead. Many of his fans are full of expectations.
Now that the car accident has happened, fans are in an uproar, and videos from the scene are circulating everywhere. Marketing accounts are also seizing this opportunity to stir up trouble online, making the matter even more intense.
Xiao He clicked on the video to view it and found that there were two main videos circulating online. One was a video of car debris left at the scene after the two cars collided, but it did not capture the condition of the vehicles, leaving people with endless imagination. The other was a video of Ran Yunrui lying on a stretcher and being pushed into an ambulance.
The most amazing thing is that there's a bunch of chat logs that I don't know where they came from.
One of the chat logs, supposedly from an insider—how insider, of course, couldn't be said—supposedly revealed that the driver who rear-ended Ran Yunrui was hired by a stalker who had been chasing him for days. Ran Yunrui had tried to shoo him away several times before, but to no avail. This time, in an attempt to escape the stalker's pursuit, the two cars accidentally collided. Ran Yunrui is currently in the hospital, and his condition is unknown. He's really unlucky…
Great! These are absolutely authoritative chat screenshots. It seems we have no choice but to believe them. My brother must have suffered a tremendous injustice!
Upon seeing these chat logs, the fans believed them immediately without any hesitation.
My goodness, are stalker fans really this brazen now? Are they turning into a Fast & Furious movie?!
Is it really impossible to be a rational fan? This is absolutely terrifying! Boycott sasaeng fans!
[Waaah, I hope nothing bad happens to Yunrui!]
[Ugh, what does this stalker look like? Did anyone take pictures? I'm so angry! If I run into it in person, I'll definitely kill it!]
[I wish I could trade ten years of my life for a successful surgery for Yunrui, please, sob sob...]
Xiao He was dumbfounded.
Big socks, is this still Chinese?
No wonder they offered money to keep quiet back then; it's likely that the agent named Cheng Hongwen had already planned this public opinion campaign when he was still with the traffic management brigade.
This would allow them to maximize their profits from this incident, while also using this opportunity to solidify their fanbase and eliminate sasaeng fans (obsessive fans).
Xiao He was willing to guarantee that much of the information in this story was spread by Ran Yunrui's company itself.
Even those seemingly brainless and misleading statements below are mostly made by paid trolls hired by the company.
The power of public opinion manipulation is just too strong. If he hadn't witnessed it all today, he probably would have thought that Ran Yunrui was on the verge of death and lying in the hospital undergoing emergency treatment.
Xiao He shook his head helplessly.
This is why many people are prejudiced against traffic stars. They stir up public opinion, fabricate conflicts, and despite not showing any professional ability, their fans are crazy about them.
I wonder what these girls' attitudes would be if they knew Ran Yunrui used profanity as punctuation...
Xiao He browsed the internet again, and only after confirming that no videos or photos of him had been circulated online did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.
It seems that Cheng Hongwen and his group managed to keep things within limits. Although they were talking nonsense, they didn't drag ordinary people into the fray or let their fans cyberbully them.
Otherwise, Xiao He wouldn't mind letting Ran Yunrui's cursing video be broadcast all over the internet.
