As a major internet celebrity with millions of followers, Huang Tianci, who also claims to be the son of a super-rich tycoon, already has a large online following. Coupled with the highly inflammatory and pointed nature of his video, it went viral almost immediately after being posted! Within hours, it had tens of millions of views, hundreds of thousands of likes, and thousands of comments—
"It's still too easy for female college students these days to make money..."
"I urge the university to conduct a thorough investigation! How could you admit such a morally corrupt scumbag into your school?!"
"Boycott Jinghua University! I will never apply to Jinghua University again!"
"Boycott! If you don't apply, I won't apply either!"
Further down, the comments section was filled with all sorts of things, including profanity and obscene rumors!
Meanwhile, Huang Tianci himself frequented the comments section, actively commenting and interacting whenever someone posted obscene rumors detrimental to Lin Jicheng, thus fueling these rumors...
An Xinmeng, Xu Qingning, and Qiao Lingyuan also saw the video on their phones. It was the first time these girls had ever seen so much vulgar language, and they were both shocked and furious.
Qiao Lingyuan was the palest and looked the worst among them. Of everyone, she was the one most deeply traumatized by Huang Tianci. Looking at Huang Tianci's greasy face on her phone screen, Qiao Lingyuan seemed to recall many unpleasant memories, and her face turned extremely pale. An Xinmeng was even more furious, her face flushed red.
"These people don't even know you, how could they say such foul things!"
“If you report one of these comments, more will be posted…”
Xu Qingning pursed her lips and shook her head. She looked at Lin Jicheng with concern, as if she wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to say it.
"...Ji Cheng, don't let what's being said online affect your mood. We all believe in you and will definitely help you get through this difficult time..."
Lin Jicheng patted the three people's hands reassuringly, his tone unusually calm:
"Don't worry, I don't need to be angry! Anger won't solve my problem!"
Meanwhile, the system continued to beep incessantly, and Lin Jicheng silently muttered to himself:
"System, if your 'crisis radar' has sensed the threat of me being targeted by rumors, you can stop now. I've already seen the danger; there's no need to remind me anymore—"
[Host, if it were just a minor figure like Huang Tianci, you could easily handle it. However, the system has now detected a much greater crisis—]
The system's tone was more serious than ever before:
[Host, I want to point out that because we have already displayed a great deal of wealth in human society, not just Huang Tianci, but many people have shown curiosity or raised questions... If we continue to develop this, it will likely attract even more rigorous scrutiny!]
Therefore, I strongly recommend to the host—
Please begin building a strong social identity immediately to mitigate potential risks!
Lin Jicheng's expression hardened; she realized that this was the real problem—
Rumors that are baseless can be easily eliminated, but if one's wealth attracts attention from certain levels, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble!
[However, please rest assured, host, our system will fully cooperate with you to complete and construct your identity background information... After the shop is upgraded, you can use points to purchase your identity background fragments to supplement your information!]
"Understood……"
Lin Jicheng pondered for a moment and said:
"In short, I should first deal with Huang Tianci's matter and maintain my good image, which will help to show the public my legitimate identity!"
Without hesitation, Lin Jicheng sprang into action. Just as she picked up her phone, a call came in—
"Lin Jicheng, you must have already seen the video online..."
On the other end of the phone was Principal Lu Xiuyuan, who got straight to the point, stating his purpose. His tone was full of anger at being offended, yet he still tried his best to remain calm:
"The other party is far too arrogant! They actually dared to spread such baseless rumors and even use them to attack Jinghua University and our professors and students... This is something I cannot tolerate!"
"Our senior professors simply wanted to meet with Lin in public and have a simple academic exchange, but it was given so many dirty meanings!"
“It’s already late at night, and I don’t dare show this video to the old professors who were slandered by Huang Tianci. I’m afraid that they’ve lived innocent lives and will get sick from this video!”
Lu Xiuyuan grew angrier the more he cursed. As a professor who had dedicated himself to academia for many years and always maintained a clean and proud reputation, this incident was undoubtedly the greatest insult to him!
"Principal Lu, I understand what you mean..."
Lin Jicheng calmly said:
"I will find a lawyer I trust to arrange these matters, so that we can unite and fight back together!"
"Oh, by the way—"
"Principal Lu Xiuyuan, didn't you mention before that our school is hosting a forum tomorrow? Perhaps we could..."
Lu Xiuyuan nodded repeatedly in agreement, then angrily cursed a few more times before hanging up. Lin Jicheng quickly dialed another number—
"Hello, Attorney Xu Liguo, this is Lin Lin Jicheng..."
"I'm sure you've seen this video online!"
Lin Jicheng tapped his finger and sent the video:
"These videos are pure rumors, and I have plenty of concrete evidence to prove them!"
Attorney Xu Liguo's rapid typing could be heard:
“Ms. Lin, I understand what you mean. I will take on this case, and I will make the following arrangements—”
"Our team will immediately initiate a comprehensive electronic evidence preservation process, including blockchain-based screen recording notarization of the other party's videos and all their insulting and defamatory comments in the comment section, to preserve the evidence!"
"Within three hours, we will prepare the preliminary evidence, then formally report the case to the public security authorities, and send a lawyer's letter to the platform!"
As expected of a professional lawyer, without Lin Jicheng needing to explain further, Attorney Xu Liguo had instantly grasped the current situation and arranged everything in an orderly manner.
“Ms. Lin, if it’s convenient, you can bring in all the other victims you know—for example, Huang Tianci being slandered in the video, we can file a class-action lawsuit!”
Lin Jicheng directly pulled Lu Xiuyuan, several retired professors, and other people who had been falsely accused by Huang Tianci of having "improper relationships" into a group chat to keep everyone updated on the situation. Just then, Qiao Lingyuan suddenly grabbed Lin Jicheng's hand and stammered:
"Lin Jicheng, there's one more thing about Huang Tianci..."
