This comment was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating ripples.
"Wow, it really is! Didn't Huang Tianci say that Lin Jicheng had some kind of shady relationship with these professors? But looking at this video, these people were just discussing cooperation matters in the classroom and conference room. How could they have any other relationship?"
"Exactly! And the so-called evidence that Huang Tianci released, isn't it a bit too flimsy... He only released two very blurry photos, but here they released a complete video, and they were just having a normal discussion!"
"My god, how did Huang Tianci find that weird angle? It was clearly a normal meeting between professors and students, his intentions are truly despicable..."
"Wait a minute, Huang Tianci's video seems really blurry. Is it showing signs of AI editing?"
"It can't be photoshopped, right?! Ahhh!"
Fortunately, Principal Lu Xiuyuan, for publicity purposes, filmed the entire process of the visit and the discussion of the donation ceremony when Lin Jicheng visited the laboratory. Once the video was released, all of Huang Tianci's schemes were exposed!
"Wait a minute, this professor seems to be very famous... Isn't this Professor Qin Dongming, the leading figure in my country's artificial intelligence field?!"
The identity of the white-haired elderly professor in the photo caught everyone's attention, and once everyone recognized Professor Qin Dongming, the comments section was overwhelmingly in favor of him.
"Wow, that's right! This academician is truly remarkable. Not only is he internationally top-notch in his academic field, but he also has a decades-long, devoted marriage with his wife, and he's an excellent student as well..."
"My God, the people who spread these rumors have no conscience at all. How dare they slander a highly respected senior academician!"
"What the heck is going on?! Was everything Huang Tianci said a lie?!"
The sentiment in the comments section completely shifted in favor of Lin Jicheng!
More importantly, in the next segment, representatives from Jinghua University, including Lu Xiuyuan and several senior professors, as well as representatives from national ministries and Lin Jicheng's Chengxin Technology Company, took a group photo to commemorate the smooth cooperation of the entire project.
During this segment, although Lin Jicheng was invited by Lu Xiuyuan to sit in the very center of the first row, upon seeing this, Lin Jicheng quickly and politely offered his seat to the several senior professors.
The moment Lin Jicheng appeared on camera, the chat paused for a second, then started spamming wildly!
"This...is this Lin Jicheng?! How can she be so beautiful! Even in the official, unfiltered live stream, she's still this gorgeous!"
"After seeing those blurry photos of Huang Tianci, I just felt that she was indeed very pretty, but not to the point of being stunning. I didn't expect that after seeing the video, I would find that she is breathtakingly beautiful..."
"His face is so small and he's so tall... Huang Tianci really made him look ugly in those photos!"
Instantly, comments praising his looks overshadowed everything else in the live chat!
Not only that, Lin Jicheng also pulled Lin Yi up with him, allowing Lin Yi, as one of the main founders of Chengxin Technology Company, to participate in the group photo.
In this group photo segment, Lin Yi also wore a similar dark-colored suit as before. When Lin Yi's image appeared in the live chat, it caused quite a stir.
"Beautiful women are always surrounded by beautiful women... and the lady next to Lin Jicheng is so cool too!"
"Hey there, handsome lady... I feel like I've seen this lady a lot before...?"
"Wait! I think I recognize her! Isn't this the other main character in Huang Tianci's video? The one who was said to have an improper relationship with Lin Jicheng...?"
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Once this relationship was exposed, the entire scene instantly descended into madness once again!
"This doesn't make sense! Didn't Huang Tianci say that Lin Jicheng had an improper relationship with a man? Where did this man come from?! It's just a woman with a somewhat androgynous appearance!"
"Huang Tianci's video made it sound very convincing, saying that the man in the suit was a rich young master... but this girl is a partner of Chengxin Technology Company!"
"Ugh! Does Huang Tianci even have a single word of truth left in his mouth?! He's really fooled all of us netizens!"
Once this truth is revealed, every word Huang Tianci said before loses credibility, and everyone begins to have doubts.
"I mean, is it possible that Huang Tianci is completely fabricating rumors?"
"This is actually the truth! After all, he only produced a few blurry photos, and the identities in the photos didn't match what he said at all!"
"My God, who is deliberately smearing our researchers? Their intentions are truly despicable!"
"Could it be some foreign forces with ulterior motives?! We absolutely cannot let our hard-won scientific research results be stolen by others!"
Amidst the barrage of comments, everyone finally pieced together the whole story. While this exonerated Lin Jicheng, it also stirred a sense of anger, as if they had been played, within everyone. This anger quickly ignited within Huang Tianci himself.
"@Huang Tianci, come out and explain what's going on! You're not just spreading rumors, are you?!"
"Is it fun to play tricks on netizens? I was fighting for you yesterday, and today you're telling me that everything you said was a lie?!"
In an instant, countless angry comments flooded Huang Tianci's Douyin account, and the scene became chaotic!
Amidst the chaos, while the scientists were still taking a group photo, Xu Liguo Law Firm officially issued a joint legal letter across all platforms from Lin Jicheng and other top tech leaders in the industry, including Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Dongming.
"Mr. Huang Tianci, our law firm has completed all the evidence collection work regarding all the videos and comments you previously posted online."
"You have previously planned to spread false information and insulting remarks against Ms. Lin Jicheng, Mr. Qin Dongming, Mr. Lu Xiuyuan, and others, which constitutes serious defamation and insult. We have formally reported the case to the public security authorities and submitted evidence, and will immediately initiate legal proceedings!"
"We will absolutely not tolerate such rumors spreading online, and we are determined to restore a clean and healthy environment to cyberspace!"
The statement from Xu Liguo Law Firm instantly went viral online!
Countless netizens flooded the comment section of this lawyer's letter, expressing their anger towards Huang Tianci!
All of this was witnessed by Huang Tianci.
That's when he really panicked!
Huang Tianci was somewhat at a loss. Just a few hours ago, he was righteously cursing people, and he was a champion of justice. How could the online sentiment have completely shifted in such a short time?
