Chapter 605: Deep Regret! (Two chapters combined)
As the online uproar intensified, Gu Yin worried that her family would be affected by the curses and insults online, so she asked everyone to stop paying attention. But how could they not be affected when they were caught in the crossfire of public opinion?
Seeing that the atmosphere at home was getting increasingly tense, Gu Yin thought that if things really got too bad, everyone could go to Hong Kong for a few days. The mainland media was not really paying attention to the situation in Hong Kong.
Before she could make a decision, news suddenly spread online that Gu Yin had come into contact with some special people from abroad when she participated in the Olympiad in high school. The reason for today's situation was that she accepted some "help" from those people. As for what kind of help, those people were vague and did not explain clearly. Instead, they listed that the Gu family had purchased a luxury mansion in Beijing, developed a commercial street, opened an entertainment company, and drove a car worth millions. They also mentioned that she had entered Cheng Dong's laboratory before graduating from university.
After these words were spoken, those people went to check and found that the house was real, the commercial street they developed was real, the company they started was real, and the young man who entered Cheng Dong's laboratory was real.
People were even more furious. The internet was flooded with curses, and some newspapers published articles questioning Gu Yin, as if they wanted to drag her out and whip her corpse.
Upon seeing this, Gu Yin contacted her superiors, who responded that they were already taking action.
Seeing this, Gu Yin stopped caring. The fish had already come out; if they still couldn't catch them, then it was none of her business.
Just then, Wu Ye called to say that it was his 60th birthday and he would be having a big celebration. He asked if Gu Yin had time, and if so, he would arrange for a plane to come and pick her up. After all, he had connections with the upper echelons of China, and his private jet could land in China.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yin immediately informed her that she was free and would bring her whole family to offer her congratulations!
After hanging up the phone, Gu Yin told everyone in the family group chat to put down their work and go out with her to relax. Gu Shu and Gu Hua didn't go; they were at school, so it didn't affect them.
After speaking, Gu Yin informed her superiors about the purpose of their trip. She then contacted Meng Yu and Tie Mao to make some arrangements. That very night, they boarded a plane arranged by Wu Ye and flew to Myanmar.
The morning after Gu Yin left the country, news that Shen Wanyi had been taken away by a special department spread across the internet instantly.
The crazed fans went directly to the Beijing police station, but each one who went there was detained.
The internet fell silent for a moment.
Why is everyone so quiet?
"Didn't you see that anyone who wasn't quiet was detained?"
"So what exactly did Shen Wanyi do wrong? Was it this time, or the previous incident with Royal Entertainment? Does anyone know?"
"It must be because of this incident. After the Royal Entertainment incident, everyone who should have been arrested was arrested. If he really committed a crime, how could he have been allowed to roam freely until now? He must have been arrested because of his righteous speech! Damn it, is our country no longer the country of ordinary people, but the country of Zhou Guyin?!"
"Agreed! Is freedom of speech just empty talk?! We can't even speak the truth! This is supposed to be a new era! Yet it's even more cruel than the cannibalistic old society!"
...
A group of people below echoed this sentiment.
"(⊙o⊙)... Am I the only one who saw the words on the clothes worn by those who were seizing Shen Wanyi?"
"You're not alone! Finally someone said this! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter at the stupidity of these trolls! My God! What kind of idiot would cause trouble at the police station! What kind of idiot would think money can be above the country! People who don't trust their own country are the real morons! I'm dying of laughter at all this commotion!"
"The person upstairs is a fan of Liang Yu, confirmed! Your idol accepted the unspoken rules and the lure of money to join Yingyue Entertainment! You're all in the same boat! Your idol isn't exactly clean either! How dare you talk about others like this!! You're all trash!"
"I didn't hide the fact that I'm a Liang Yu fan, so why are you getting so defensive? Everyone knows the truth. We've been letting you guys cause trouble these past few days not because we're afraid of you, but because Liang Yu told us to keep quiet and not affect the public platform! You're acting all high and mighty! If you're going to keep your eyes, just donate them! Can't you see the big 'National Security' sign? And you call yourself righteous? Your brother must be a traitor!"
"This feels a bit risky. If it were just a common crime, the people who come to arrest people would be the police. To involve the National Security Bureau... tsk tsk tsk, Shen Wanyi is not simple."
“One of our school’s teachers was also taken away by the National Security Bureau. He reacted most strongly to Zhou Guyin’s case at the school, speaking with great conviction, as if Zhou Guyin had taken his experiment. It seems like something is not simple.”
"One of our researchers has also been arrested!!"
"Oh my god, my classmate was taken away too, and I'm just a high school student! He was hurling insults at me online! He's the top student in the grade! It's terrifying!"
"My colleague is too!"
"My God, this feels like something's not simple! It's terrifying to think about!"
"I have a bad feeling, is Zhou Guyin being framed?!"
"Me too! Otherwise, why hasn't the higher-ups made a move? Qingda University has been dealing with netizens all along! Haven't you seen similar incidents before, where the school immediately suspended the student and sent people down to investigate? But here at Qingda University, it's eerily quiet!"
Tie Mao had been observing the online situation and immediately arranged for people to take action. Meng Yu's side and Qingda's side also began to take action.
In a short while, things started to change online.
"I've been constantly targeted! Several accounts have been ruined, but I can finally speak! I'm Gu Yin's classmate! In my memory, Gu Yin is smart, generous, and incredibly kind to people of her class! I don't understand why anyone would doubt her abilities? She won three gold medals out of the five major subjects in the Olympiad! If it weren't for time constraints, five gold medals wouldn't have been a problem for her! Compared to physics, chemistry, and biology, her math and computer science are her strongest! Back then, in national competitions, because our country hadn't won a gold medal for a long time, we were constantly ridiculed and framed by other countries, but Gu Yin resolved everything! She refused the invitation from Foshan University and resolutely returned to China! How could you suspect someone like that of treason and fabrication in her thesis??"
"I'm a student at Qingdao University and Gu Yin's roommate. We're freshmen, and Gu Yin has already self-studied the first-year textbooks. She always gets first place in every exam and wins the highest-level scholarship every year! While we're sleeping or shopping, Gu Yin is studying. During holidays, while we're playing, Gu Yin is still studying. After entering Professor Cheng's lab, no matter if she has class or not, Gu Yin will never go back to the dormitory until the lights are turned off. Later, in order to do experiments better, she stayed out overnight, but occasionally, due to the weather or experiments, she would still go back to the dormitory to rest. Even then, she would go through the books before going to sleep! She also gets up early in the morning to study. She is smart, but her diligence and hard work are even more admirable to me than her intelligence!"
"I'm a member of Professor Cheng's lab, but not Gu Yin's team. When she was first accepted as Professor Cheng's disciple, we all thought she got in through connections because she was so young. But we were proven wrong. One of Professor Cheng's disciples, Gu Yin's senior brother, had been working on an experiment that had been stalled for a long time. We thought it would be abandoned, since experiments are expensive and funding is limited, as everyone knows. But after Gu Yin arrived, one day when everyone was away, she touched her senior brother's experiment and actually got it working again! And she even produced some very impressive things! So important that the higher-ups sent people to immediately take away everything she touched, and she herself! Such a talented person, and you only saw those material things! It's heartbreaking!"
"I'm also from Professor Cheng's lab. I know very well about the shingles eradication vaccine. Gu Yin had already conducted the experiment herself and achieved very important results! But because she was a member of the lab, she planned to lead a team to work on the project. However, some scoundrels tried to take over the experiment for themselves! In the end, this matter caused a huge uproar, and I'm sure the Ministry of Health and the National Security Bureau know about it. In the end, Gu Yin completed the experiment on her own. And because Professor Cheng is getting old and has other more important tasks, the decision-making position in the lab was given to Gu Yin. Now, do you think Gu Yin got a free ride? Not at all. Gu Yin's background is extraordinary. It's not like what's said online. She has her own independent lab. Even without Professor Cheng's lab, she could complete all the experiments herself. But because she became the decision-maker in the lab, she has more responsibility. Usually, when we don't have enough funds for our experiments, she will give us her own money. Tell me, how could such a good person do something like taking someone else's experimental results? She wouldn't! She wouldn't stoop to it!"
"I'm from Hong Kong. The person you're talking about who's hooked up with the richest man is Zhou Wansheng's granddaughter! Many of you probably don't know who Zhou Wansheng is. I suggest you look him up. It's hilarious! If this news gets into Hong Kong, you people will be nothing but a joke!"
"Brothers, we've finished the search, and we really are a joke! She's the granddaughter of Asia's shipping magnate! Worth trillions! Richer than the richest family in the world! You know about the previous economic crisis? Many of our country's richest people were trapped, and even the country's economy was in trouble. It was the shipping magnate who single-handedly turned the tide! That's how our country's economy stabilized!"
"Wasn't Zhou Guyin said to be from the countryside?"
"Everyone in our port city knows that her father was lost by the family's maid when he was a child, and was only found a few years ago. Zhou Guyin is the real young lady of a shipping magnate's family! So what you're saying about her throwing money at Qingda University to marry into a wealthy family, taking other people's experimental results for herself, or trying to gain prestige, etc., is just laughable, my God!"
More and more people came forward with information, providing all the evidence they could to support it! Qingdao University also released Gu Yin's academic records from high school to the present, allowing netizens across the country to verify them!
“I’m Gu Yin’s friend. At first, the Gu family and my family cooperated to bring some electronic products from S City back to Jiang City to sell and make a profit from the price difference. I witnessed firsthand how they rose from the countryside! Later, Gu Yin bought stocks and made a lot of money. In addition, the land she bought was confiscated, and she received compensation. That’s how she got the luxury mansion and commercial street in Beijing! This money was earned honestly and can withstand any scrutiny! The Gu Yin you know is only a small part of her. In the eyes of those around us, she is a genius, hardworking, and diligent!”
"I'm a member of Gu Yin's experimental team. I'm just a recent undergraduate graduate; I'm not even qualified to be an assistant, let alone work in Cheng Dong's lab! Gu Yin's second experiment is about targeted cancer drugs. Once this experiment is successful, all cancers in the world will no longer be incurable, and no one will be afraid to talk about them! No one dares to research this topic, and even those who do only get a superficial understanding. When the boss said he wanted to do this project, no one trusted her! They all thought she was just playing around, and they couldn't even form a team. But because her lab was Cheng Dong's, it did attract Xiaoyu a bit." "Shrimp, these little fish and shrimps only wanted to get into Cheng Dong's lab. They didn't think Gu Yin's project would succeed. Yes, I was one of them. But then Gu Yin impressed us with her professionalism and attitude. We worked diligently for almost a year, endless nights, hair that kept falling out and growing back, dark circles under our eyes that never disappeared. Finally, our hard work paid off, and we made a major discovery. But at this crucial moment, someone actually said her experiment was fabricated! I'm furious! I dare say! Not just at Qingda University, not just in our country, but in the whole world! No one is better than her!"
“My sister Gu Yin’s brother! While my sister was working herself to the bone, working hard for the country, and working day and night in the lab to save hundreds of millions of patients, you were framing her! Insulting her! Cursing her! Ha, it’s truly heartbreaking.”
The internet has fallen completely silent this time.
Afterwards, the National Security Bureau revealed the mastermind behind this incident, and Shen Wanyi was among them, charged with treason and murder.
The internet erupted in uproar!
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joined the bad guys in cursing you before the truth came out!"
"I'm sorry!! I shouldn't have joined in the commotion!"
...
The online outbursts turned into apologies, and the post "Apologizing to Zhou Guyin" went viral.
However, Gu Yin's account remained inactive and she never logged in.
Some people started to question: "We all know we were wrong and we've apologized, so shouldn't you say something too?"
"That's right, even though we wronged you, you're still fine, aren't you? And you're still acting so high and mighty! Do we have to kneel down for you to show up?"
“Zhou Guyin’s silence isn’t because she’s arrogant, but because she’s not even in China! Last night, someone saw her and her family board a private plane and fly to Myanmar. The plane stayed in Myanmar for an hour before flying to the United States!”
"So, did she get heartbroken, disappointed, and leave?"
"No! Didn't they say they'd already developed a targeted cancer drug? So many people are waiting for a life-saving treatment! Zhou Guyin, please don't despair! We know we were wrong!"
"My teacher is waiting for help! Please come back!"
"She has no right to take the results! The experiment was conducted using our country's resources, why should she take it! We need to retrieve it immediately!"
Seeing this, Du Kai laughed angrily: "Ha! From the very beginning, the higher-ups didn't believe this experiment could be done, so there was no funding or anything. Gu Yin paid for all the funding for this experiment out of her own pocket, and so far, hundreds of millions have been spent. What right do you have to say she's not qualified?"
The official website also seemed to be observing netizens' comments. As soon as Gu Shu posted his comment, the official website released new information.
"All the results of the researchers' research belong to the individuals involved."
Seeing that this is the official response, everyone is really panicking now! The life-saving medicine is right there, but because of your slander, we can only look at it but can't get it! Everyone started apologizing, admitting their mistakes, and shirking responsibility, so Shen Wanyi, who had already been arrested, was once again subjected to a barrage of insults, and his fans were no exception.
Gu Yin, who was far away in Myanmar, did not pay attention to these things, but they were all within her expectations!
Right now, she's mining in her own mine!
