Lili was one of the girls who was unwilling to cooperate.
She originally thought she was just coming here for a part-time job, never expecting things to escalate to this point.
Thirty or forty girls went in total, but in the end, only six of them refused to sign the agreement.
However, since they were already on the cruise ship, it was impossible for them to go back.
They resisted and protested, but to no avail.
Those people locked them in a room, deprived them of food and water, and even separated them, punching and kicking them to force them to agree.
Those few days were like a nightmare for Lili.
She was beaten until her body was covered in bruises, and she begged for mercy, but the other party refused to let her go.
Later, four of the six girls, having been beaten and terrified, chose to cooperate and signed an agreement.
Only Lili and another girl remained to resist.
Lili encouraged her to persevere until they were rescued.
However, what awaited them was an even more devastating nightmare.
That night, the two of them huddled in a corner when the door was kicked open and several drunken men barged in.
He was carrying a bottle of liquor, swearing constantly, and shouting that he loved to rebel against women.
The two girls shouted, but no one paid any attention.
Those beasts roughly tore off their clothes...
That night, Lili felt that her soul had died, and all that was left was a shell.
The next day, the girl who had been humiliated along with Lili took advantage of the chaos to rush to the deck outside the cruise ship and jumped into the sea.
Although the people later pulled her out of the water, the girl had already closed her eyes forever.
Even so, these people still colluded with each other, using their influence and connections to forcibly suppress the matter.
In the following days, Lily was insulted three more times.
Those people also took photos of her.
They threatened her that if she dared to talk about it, they would post these photos online and send them to her family.
In addition, we also need to consider the safety of her family.
Lili was terrified. After returning home, her entire personality changed. She refused to go to school, applied for a leave of absence, and spent her days hiding in her bedroom, trembling and muttering to herself.
Several months passed like this.
This girl saw a news article online about a girl being humiliated and decided to bravely stand up and expose the incident.
This Weibo post immediately went viral, quickly rising to the top of the trending topics list within just half an hour.
All the netizens who saw this Weibo post were shocked.
It's the 21st century, and people are still doing this.
Because Lili described the cruise ship as named "Haiyun," netizens began referring to this incident as the "Haiyun Incident."
Since ancient times, people have always been gossipy, and among gossip events, those about women, money, and the private lives of people are undoubtedly the most likely to arouse people's interest.
Therefore, Chen Fan's side is very clever.
Instead of targeting the Bai family right away, they intervened indirectly through another incident.
Money-gathering crowds, beautiful women everywhere, cruise ships everywhere, men and women mingling together... This event doesn't need much reporting; just the imagination is enough to pique the curiosity of countless viewers.
The whole incident went viral instantly after it was exposed.
In the afternoon, due to the overwhelming traffic to Weibo, the backend server of Feifan Weibo almost crashed.
Netizens are just watching the drama unfold, expressing their curiosity, and some are even asking for photos and links... This completely proves the diversity of species on the internet.
However, the resourceful netizens didn't sit still and quickly dug up some information.
For example, netizens discovered through investigation that the company behind the Haiyun cruise ship is Fanghai International Co., Ltd.
The owner of Fanghai International is named Fang Ming, who is in his thirties and is already a multi-millionaire.
Following the incident, Fanghai International quickly issued an official statement.
They stated that the online allegations were completely fabricated and pure slander.
The company has already contacted a law firm to resolutely protect and defend its interests.
At the same time, we solemnly warn certain netizens who spread rumors that the internet is not a lawless place and they must pay the price for their words.
However, this announcement did not stop netizens' enthusiasm for gossiping.
Some netizens even directly named Fang Ming, the owner of Fanghai International, saying that he was at sea on the day of the incident, on a cruise ship.
This netizen also posted several photos, which happened to be taken by tourists at the seaside port around that time.
The image above shows a group of men and women boarding a cruise ship.
One of them, wearing a hat and embracing a young woman, was Fang Ming.
Since this guy's face was photographed, it's now completely confirmed.
Even if Fang Ming wanted to explain, he wouldn't have a chance.
However, the story doesn't end there.
This incident has had such a terrible impact.
This directly provoked outrage among netizens.
Some netizens have thoroughly investigated the shareholder structure of Fanghai International.
The largest shareholder is Qiming Investment, which holds 85% of Fanghai International's shares.
In other words, this company has almost complete control over everything at Fanghai International.
The boss behind Qiming Venture Partners is Bai Mingtao.
Bai Mingtao is a member of the Bai family of the Bai Group.
This Weibo post caused a stir among netizens, who exclaimed that there was such a juicy story behind it all.
Things were getting more and more exciting and interesting.
Who is the Bai Group? It's the Bai family!
The Bai family had previously gained notoriety for the entertainment industry's "club scandal" involving three generations of the Bai family.
Now, this matter has somehow become involved with the Bai family again.
Could it be that the Bai family is the mastermind behind the entire incident?
This gossip immediately shook the related industries of the Bai family.
Especially on the second day, the stocks of some companies related to the Bai family's business suddenly fluctuated, and their stock prices plummeted.
This time, even the Bai family itself couldn't sit still.
We live in the internet age now. Even if the Bai family wanted to continue living as a reclusive family, they basically couldn't.
Therefore, at noon that day, the Bai family held a press conference to declare that the gossip circulating online was pure rumor and completely fabricated.
The cruise ship belongs to Fanghai International, and the Bai family was completely unaware of the entire incident.
At this point, many netizens have come to take notice.
This means the Bai family is planning to cut their losses and protect themselves.
Fang Ming is probably in for some bad luck.
Because even if the matter is investigated, the investigation can only go as far as Fang Ming.
Even if the Bai family is the largest shareholder behind Fanghai International, there is no evidence to prove that the Bai family has any connection with this incident.
However, no one expected that things would take another turn that afternoon.
