As Grandma Kong put the money away, Qin Zhan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Where did you get so much money? You haven't gone astray, have you?"
"Don't worry, Grandpa Qin, the money's origin is absolutely clean..."
Wang Wei said reassuringly, but in his heart he thought, "This money is indeed clean; he earned it by mooching off meals one after another..."
The group returned to the mourning hall, where the funeral procession had already assembled. It consisted mostly of elderly people who were still able to move around in the nursing home, but there were only about a dozen of them...
At this moment, Wang Wei and Wang Yinchen had already put on mourning clothes and were preparing to go to the funeral...
"Boss, I've inquired. The deceased here was an old man surnamed Ding. His children are all abroad, and he has no relation to Wang Yinchen whatsoever..."
The henchman approached Young Master Du and relayed all the information he had gathered to him…
"Then why is she wearing mourning clothes?"
Young Master Du pointed at Wang Yinchen, who was dressed in mourning clothes inside the mourning hall, and asked in confusion!
"Boss, I saw that poor scoundrel Wang Wei was also wearing mourning clothes. Do you think it's possible that the deceased's children couldn't come back, so he asked someone to attend the funeral in his place?"
When a henchman voiced his guess, it made Du Gongzi suspicious. He wondered if his goddess would even make money like this.
"You mean that poor scoundrel is making money off dead people by dragging Wang Yinchen into it? That's incredibly unlucky!"
Another henchman couldn't help but complain!
"Boss, I think this is an opportunity. How about we do a live stream and let everyone see how Wang Wei is making money off Wang Yinchen? I don't believe those fans who like Wang Yinchen will let go of this chance to cyberbully Wang Wei. We can definitely ruin Wang Wei's reputation and make it impossible for him to walk a step in school..."
One of the henchmen immediately came up with a bad idea, which prompted Henchman Number Two to applaud and praise him.
"Brilliant...that's a great idea, I think it'll work..."
At this moment, Young Master Du couldn't help but nod and say...
"If we're going to do it, let's go all out. We'll not only do live streams, but also record videos and post them on various platforms. We'll even pay to get the videos trending. I don't believe Wang Yinchen won't be kneeling in front of me begging for my mercy..."
"The boss is truly the boss; that's a brilliant idea that kills multiple birds with one stone..."
Henchman Number One immediately showered him with flattery, implying that even if the idea was his, it was all thanks to the boss's excellent training and that it was all the boss's credit...
Young Master Du's henchmen were quite efficient. With phones readily available, they got to work after allocating platforms: some recording videos, others starting live streams…
With such immense financial power, a video titled "A certain goddess, Wang Yinchen, was scammed by a ruthless scumbag and made money off the dead" quickly went viral, and the simultaneous live stream also rapidly dominated various video platforms...
The first to gather around were naturally the school's students. Wang Yinchen was a well-known goddess at school, especially famous for her inspiring story of refusing to be kept by a rich second-generation heir and working to earn money on her own…
This made her an inspirational goddess at school, and the only goddess you could actually see on campus. Her clean looks, kind heart, and strong character—every single one of these qualities made her far more famous than other goddesses…
When everyone saw that their goddess was making money off the dead, they were furious. Some extremists even blamed Wang Wei, believing he must have taken their goddess to make money off the dead...
So countless insults appeared on the screen, ranging from cursing Wang Wei's family to calls for his death...
Seeing his goal gradually being achieved, Young Master Du smiled, thinking that some poor scoundrel dared to oppose him. He could ruin the other party's reputation with just a flick of his finger, and with such a stain, even finding a job in the future would be a problem...
No company would dare hire an employee with such a bad reputation...
"I'm not only going to ruin your reputation, I'm going to ruin your future..."
Young Master Du thought viciously to himself!
Just then, the funeral procession had already started, and seeing Wang Wei carrying a spirit-summoning banner, all sorts of vulgar language appeared on the screen again…
Everyone scolded him for being unfilial; his own parents were still alive, yet he went to carry a funeral banner for someone else just for money…
Some even said that by doing this, he wasn't afraid of bringing bad luck home and killing his parents...
The criticism and insults were all directed at Wang Wei, and Young Master Du even had people stirring up trouble, which fueled everyone's anger towards him...
Wang Wei, who was carrying the spirit-summoning banner, felt his phone vibrating incessantly. He couldn't help but cautiously take it out and check it...
He was furious when he saw it...
I thought to myself, "Who the hell is so malicious? They actually slandered him..."
He looked around again and saw that the school forums and various video platforms were already in an uproar. Especially when he saw the overwhelming personal attacks against him online, he was completely unsettled. He thought to himself that if he went back to school, he would probably be drowned in a sea of criticism...
Li Zhu placed the screen in front of Wang Yinchen so that she would know what had happened and be mentally prepared...
Wang Yinchen was still heartbroken when she saw Wang Wei not only playing on his phone but also showing it to her. She glared at him angrily, but when she saw the live stream on the screen, she was completely shocked…
He came out to help with the funeral, so how did he become a trending topic?
The two men exchanged a glance, then looked towards the live stream camera, only to realize that it was actually Young Master Du and his gang of henchmen…
This made Wang Wei curse under his breath, thinking how these people were like a persistent, leech, never leaving him...
If it weren't for the principle of respecting the dead, he would definitely have turned around and beaten them up, letting them know what the power of a tyrant is!
Qin Zhan noticed their subtle interactions, and when he saw that Wang Wei was using a phone worth over ten thousand yuan, he was shocked. Sixty thousand yuan was understandable, given Wang Wei's frugal lifestyle, but using a phone costing over ten thousand yuan was something most families couldn't afford…
He now suspected that Wang Wei might have some ulterior motive, that wearing cheap clothes and attending funeral banquets were all to mislead people into thinking that Wang Wei was poor...
But that doesn't make sense. If he really wanted others to think he was poor, he wouldn't have donated 60,000 yuan, nor would he have used such an expensive phone in front of strangers. Isn't that a contradiction?
The group suddenly stopped because a group of foreigners were blocking their way…
These foreigners, dressed in suits and ties, looking like characters from The Matrix, saw the funeral procession stop. Their leader pointed at Wang Yinchen and said in broken Chinese...
"You...put down...what...you're holding..."
"Get out of here, you idiot..."
Wang Wei would never tolerate his girlfriend getting angry at him!
