While the Qin family was having a lot of fun, the internet was in an uproar.
[On-site accident, all TOP members injured]
Jones is Qin Sheng
Jiang Ruoyu, the heiress of a wealthy family in Tiandu.
Three trending topics, all equally popular, surged onto the trending list and ranked in the top ten.
The number of comments in the comment sections of many Weibo posts has skyrocketed.
[Damn! I was wondering why Qin, the actor who's always nowhere to be found, suddenly showed up at an e-sports competition. Turns out it's because he dotes on his sister!]
[Actor Qin: You have your aunt's support, how can my sister not have her brother's support? Nobody can bully my sister!]
[Ah! Look at me, look at me, everyone look at me! The picture above isn't clear, but I was there at the time. I clearly saw that the beam of light fall directly onto Qin Sheng's head. It was a close call! If Qin Sheng had reacted even a fraction slower, he would have been killed!]
[This incident nearly resulted in a death; it's a serious accident. We hope the organizers can provide a reasonable explanation!]
[An explanation is necessary!]
Don't blame me for being a conspiracy theorist, but looking at the timing and the setting, it just doesn't seem like an accident. Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to harm us?
[Upstairs, who are you implying? She's just a nobody, a nobody. Who would go to such lengths in public to harm her?]
[Internet celebrity? I'm laughing so hard! I'm just laughing so hard! Did you just come out of a mental hospital or crawl out of a latrine? If you can't speak properly, shut up!]
Whether it's alluding or not, as long as people don't take it personally, it won't implicate anyone. Right now, the people on TOP's side are all hurt and have suffered a lot; they are definitely victims. Even if some people want to clear their idol's name, don't rush into it; take your time.
[A fellow fan from Tiandu commented that netizens' imaginations really don't need to run wild. They should spend their time researching what kind of organization the Jiang family of Tiandu is. There's really no need for my sister or her nephew to speculate like this.]
[...]
Qin Sheng and Qin Zhihuai have many fans, but Jiang Ruoyu also has quite a few. In addition, although everyone had guessed that Jiang Ruoyu's family was well-off, it was only now that they realized she was actually the young lady of one of the four great families of Tiandu. Right now, she's generating a lot of buzz.
As a result, fans and bystanders on both sides argued back and forth, and the situation escalated.
It wasn't until Jiang Ruoyu personally spoke out: "The competition was organized by my family for my nephew. No one expected such an accident. As the organizers, we certainly bear a great responsibility. Whatever conditions the TOP team proposes, Jiang's will do its best to meet them. However, regarding unfounded slander, Jiang's will use legal means to protect its reputation!"
Attached was a lawyer's letter, directly initiating lawsuits against several netizens who had made direct or insinuations about the harm done by the Jiang family, Jiang Ruoyu, and Jiang Haoming within the past hour.
This scare tactic, which made an example of someone, gradually quieted down the netizens.
After all, anger is anger, and joining in the fun is joining in the fun; nobody wants to get themselves involved in something that happens online.
The netizens who received the lawyer's letter were struck dumb; although they were angry, they dared not speak anymore.
After all, the other party was the Jiang family of Tiandu. They wouldn't dare to do something as futile as throwing an egg against a rock.
With this precedent set, the Jiang family spent money to remove the trending topic, and things gradually calmed down, seemingly about to pass quietly.
Just then, a compensation list appeared online, bringing the matter back into the spotlight.
It's a very long list, with many items listed.
This includes medical expenses, compensation for emotional distress, lost wages, and so on.
Two sections in particular caught the attention of many netizens.
The first section lists Qin Sheng's lost wages.
Because of the injuries to both hands and the shock, the hospital recommended that the patient rest for half a month.
Well, half a month isn't a long time.
Netizens nodded in agreement and continued reading.
Then I saw a long string of them.
Qin Sheng is paid for lost work time as Mo Shang, Qin Sheng is paid for lost work time as Jones, Qin Sheng is paid for lost work time as a researcher in a special position, and so on.
In just half a month, the amount reached tens of millions.
Adding in the lost wages of Wan Feng and others, the total compensation for this item alone is nearly 20 million.
The other column is just as impressive as the lost wages column.
It was compensation for workers from the crew of the TV series "Mountains and Rivers Bright Moon".
The Shanhe Haoyue project was originally scheduled to start on the 14th of this month, which is ten days from now.
However, because the male lead Qin Zhihuai and the third female lead Qin Sheng were both quite frightened, the production team had to postpone the start of filming until half a month later.
The Jiang family will be responsible for the venue rental fee, personnel delay fee, and so on during the five-day time difference.
At the end of the list, a number of ¥0.98 shocked netizens so much that their hands trembled.
Each item on this list has been stamped and signed by a professional certification body, clearly indicating that it wasn't just something Qin Sheng or TOP wrote arbitrarily.
This is the compensation they deserve!
For a moment, the public was unsure whether to remain angry or sympathetic.
Tsk.
It is said that Jiang spent nearly 40 million to get TOP and Qin Sheng to play in this match. In addition, there was the cost of poaching people from JM and the cost of advertising. Now, with these compensations added, the total cost has reached a staggering 90 million!
A little more and it would be a hundred million!
Most importantly, after paying such a high price, JM still lost the game and suffered a crushing defeat!
As a result, the reputations of the Jiang family and Jiang Ruoyu suffered a significant blow.
This deal was a complete rip-off!

Tiandu, the Jiang family.
As Grandpa Jiang watched Jiang Ruojin, Jiang Ruoyu, and Jiang Haoming enter from outside, he raised his hand and tossed the tablet he was holding onto the coffee table in front of him with a soft, but not loud, sound.
The three of them were simultaneously startled and immediately walked quickly toward the old man.
Feeling uneasy, Jiang Ruojin softened her voice and called out, "Dad..."
Grandpa Jiang snorted forcefully, "Don't call me Dad! You two either ignore what I say or do the opposite of what I say. Do you even respect me as your father or grandfather?!"
Jiang Ruojin's gaze swept across the tablet on the table, and she immediately saw the various comments and insults displayed on it, causing her heart to skip a beat.
He instinctively glanced at the girl next to the old man, his brows furrowed tightly: "What kind of nonsense are you showing your grandfather again!"
Jiang Xiaoyu was peeling oranges on the side when she unexpectedly found herself in the crossfire.
She couldn't help but purse her lips: "Why don't you tell us what kind of mess you've been making?"
"you!"
Jiang Ruoyu choked, and just as he was about to say something more, a cane as thick as an adult's wrist came flying at him and slammed heavily into his leg, interrupting Jiang Ruoyu's words.
Grandpa Jiang was furious: "Little Fish came all this way to see me, and she stays home with this old man every day. You don't even appreciate her, and you're yelling at her?"
"What kind of uncle are you?!"
