"Some people asked me why I tested negative when I was biting a straw in the video. I have to say, it was really a coincidence and also lucky."
Tong Su smiled bitterly, her face looking haggard, and she looked so sad that she seemed ready to cry at any moment.
"I don't really like drinking Coke. I just thought that since we used to be friends, it would be disrespectful not to drink any. So I pretended to be used to it and actually didn't drink any Coke at all."
The reporter asked, "Miss Xi, you've been framed by Lan Shu'er multiple times before, why did you still go to their appointment? Didn't you realize there might be danger?"
Tong Su's face showed a sorrowful blankness. She shook her head sadly, and her voice gradually lowered: "I thought we used to be friends. No matter what they did, I still felt in my heart that they wouldn't have gone this far..."
After the video was released, netizens felt extremely sorry for her and left messages of comfort on Tongsu's Weibo account, saying, "Tongsu, it's not your fault, they don't deserve it! Don't be too sad, we'll be with you!"
"That's right, Ji Yu and Lan Shu'er are scum, let's ignore scum!"
"You should focus on getting better first, and everything will be alright in the future!"
Some actors in the crew who were on good terms with Tong Su, especially Jiang Shuqi, launched the #StartWithMe,RejectScumbags# campaign, which brought the topic to a new level of popularity.
Meanwhile, many more people were constantly asking about Ji Yu and Lan Shu'er's fate under the official Weibo account of @PingAnHaiCheng. After photos of Ji Yu and Lan Shu'er being arrested were released online, netizens flocked to the post and launched a barrage of insults.
"Screw them, so those two are the real poisoners!"
"Ugh, those two scumbags are so filthy and disgusting! I really want to slap my past self who was a crazy fan of Ji Yu!"
"How many years can he be sentenced to? How many years can he be sentenced to?"
"Isn't this already a crime of 'inducing, instigating, or deceiving others into committing human or drug offenses'? The criminal law stipulates a minimum sentence of three years and a maximum of seven years. Please sentence them to seven years!"
...
When Lan Shuer and Ji Yu were brought to court for trial and sentencing, they still couldn't believe their situation.
Why is Xi Tongsu unharmed? Why was she discovered?
Shouldn't Xi Tongsu have fallen to the point of being cursed by thousands of people? Why is it that she is the one being cursed now?
Ji Yu's face burned with embarrassment. He kept his head down and could still hear the disdainful jeers coming from the jury. He dared not look at Xi Tongsu, who was sitting in the plaintiff's seat. He was filled with remorse and had no face to look at his parents.
Lan Shu'er trembled all over. Her own lawyer was losing ground under the plaintiff's lawyer's questioning. She couldn't believe what fate awaited her. She suddenly raised her head and waved vigorously in Tong Su's direction: "Xi, Tong, Su!"
"Quiet!"
The bailiff next to her abruptly pressed her down: "Quiet!"
She seemed oblivious to the splitting pain in her shoulder blade. A blink later, large tears rolled down her cheeks: "Tongsu, Tongsu, please forgive me. I'll never go against you again. Please help me, we're friends..."
Tong Su said, "You've forgiven yourself many times, but each time you've only gotten worse. You've ended up like this entirely because of your own actions. You can't blame anyone but yourself. Ask yourself why you've come to this."
Lan Shu'er shook her head frantically, but no matter how much she wailed, no one paid any attention to her anymore. The judge's gavel slammed down, and the cold sound foreshadowed their future fate.
"...This court finds that the defendants Ji Yu and Lan Shuer are guilty of defamation, inducing, instigating, and deceiving others, as well as drug offenses, and are sentenced to seven years imprisonment with a fine..."
