"The Working Girl" saves the villain in his childhood (15)...
The undercurrents, which had been surging for a long time, finally surfaced.
The Huo Yu case was officially disclosed, but he was not the only one standing in court to be tried. All the leaders of the Huo family who could be caught were caught.
Even those who had long since moved abroad were issued transnational arrest warrants, and through the efforts of all parties, they all appeared in the dock.
The onlookers stared in disbelief at the string of "Huo XX" characters, truly a family that should be complete!
I only wanted to watch the "movie star rape scandal," but I never expected to end up watching a criminal gang being caught.
Looking at those cases of family annihilation, smuggling, bribery, forced demolition, and coerced prostitution... the judge read them aloud for a long time, but couldn't finish reading them in one breath.
The rape case involving the young actor's mother occupies only a tiny, insignificant corner in this large-scale serial crime saga.
But netizens were drawn to this incident and were completely outraged: Huo Yu! The Huo family! You guys are really something!
Recalling the previous public opinion, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
The woman whose life was ruined by rape endured the shame, mustered her courage, and posted everything about herself online.
But in the blink of an eye, the truth was turned upside down, and a torrent of accusations against her swept across the country.
How desperate must that victim be? Can she even go on living...?
The more condemnation we showed to the victims before, due to being misled by public opinion, the more furious we are now that the truth has been revealed, towards the culprit who caused all of this!
Looking back at Huo Yu's confident words to the screen: "You'll be going to jail soon."
I used to think that statement was powerful, but now it sends chills down my spine.
How should ordinary people fight against such powerful and all-powerful demons?
Most netizens are just ordinary people powerless to protect themselves, and faced with such a terrible situation, they were immediately filled with a sense of shared indignation and hatred.
Cut him into a thousand pieces! Cut him into a thousand pieces! Even chopping him into mincemeat wouldn't be enough to vent my anger!
The public's fury nearly overturned the entire courtroom.
However, no matter how loud the calls were, the law did not support the ancient punishment of "slicing into a thousand pieces," and the final verdict was that the defendants would be sentenced to death for multiple crimes.
Upon receiving the results, countless members of the Huo family nearly collapsed to the ground, while the crowd cheered, declaring that they deserved it! The entire Huo family deserved to die!
Even those who once loved Huo Yu deeply would not shed a single tear for him now, only feeling anger at being deceived.
You fed on our love, climbed to the summit, and now you turn your sword against us! How dare you! You deserve to die!
Huo Yu will become the most famous actor in film history, an actor who is hated by everyone and would love to tear him apart.
As Ye Xiqing watched Huo Yu being executed, she had thought that as the male protagonist of a novel, he would have some dignity when facing death.
But unexpectedly, when that time came, Huo Yu was no different from an ordinary death row inmate.
His cheeks were sunken, he looked listless, and his beard was unkempt. His former "handsomeness" was gone. If it weren't for the staff helping him, he wouldn't even be able to walk.
Ye Xiqing didn't know why he was so scared. When he was pressed onto the execution platform, he kept screaming, as if he was possessed by something.
But that's okay, modern death penalty laws fully consider humanitarian principles and all adopt euthanasia.
To reduce the psychological burden on the executioner, the execution will not be carried out by a human, but rather by an electronic mechanical program.
Once the criminal is strapped to the execution platform, the executioners can leave, and neither party will suffer too much.
Before long, the criminal became a very peaceful corpse.
Ye Xiqing was quite satisfied; there weren't too many stimulating scenes, and she didn't feel uncomfortable. She could watch it again, but then the system crashed—
"Host! How many more times are you going to watch this?!"
Ye Xiqing skillfully switched the screen back: "I didn't want to either. If you had just obediently rebroadcast it when I played it the first time, would I have had to rebroadcast it every day and watch it every day?"
"The audience has been angry with the Huo family father and son for so long, they need an outlet for their emotions. You are a refreshing system, not a cowardly system. Go ahead and broadcast it. If you can't bear to part with the male lead, you won't get any viewers."
system:……
Since Huo Yu was executed, Ye Xiqing has been watching his "death replay" every day.
Although the system is a digital life form and has no concept of death, and therefore no fear of death, it no longer wants to stay with Ye Xiqing...
But it was no use. As a live streaming system, it couldn't possibly not give the female lead any screen time. Sooner or later, it would have to return to her side.
As soon as it returned, Ye Xiqing would start playing "ghost movies" on time, and even as a digital life form, it felt an indescribable mental torment.
Please, host! Stop using your powers!
But despite Ye Xiqing's "abnormal" behavior, viewers not only didn't react negatively, but instead gave her widespread praise.
"Ah, I feel so relieved! The male lead's previous behavior really annoyed me. This is the first time I've ever disliked a male lead this much! Well done!"
"I've taken a screenshot. This picture will become my new profile picture. It's just a sleeping beauty, so please don't ban it, admin."
"Ah! This is what we, the readers of wish-fulfillment novels, should be reading! If the male lead commits an unforgivable mistake, then let him die, okay? He's not a good male lead if he doesn't die!"
Originally, Huo Yu, as a movie star and a powerful tycoon, was more popular than the male protagonist who was a genius in the previous world.
But just like fans around the world, they abandoned him after the actor revealed his terrifying side.
Viewers outside the world also turned their backs on Huo Yu after he revealed a disgusting face that didn't belong to the male lead, and there weren't even any fans like those who cried at Qin Nian's grave in the previous world.
Those who love deeply will delete their accounts, while those who don't love them to begin with will hate them so much they want to vomit on them, and some even demand that—
"In the original world, Huo Yu's old father was actually quite annoying. Is there any footage of him being executed?"
"Can I have a copy of his brain-dead brother's too...?"
This is the first time in all the time since the show started airing that someone requested the death penalty for the male lead's entire family. Of course, the system won't relay that message!
But Ye Xiqing seemed to have gained supernatural insight; after reading Huo Yu's report, she stroked her chin and pondered deeply.
"Watching the same thing over and over again is really boring, huh? Next time I'll do something different on my livestream. Anyone want to watch something from other members of the Huo family?"
The live chat erupted in cheers, but the system was filled with despair.
Furious, it turned to the minor villain, preferring to show him his pathetic state!
After it left, Ye Xiqing closed the screen and started working seriously.
Revenge may be someone else's, but life is your own.
Getting into the judicial system isn't something you can just have; you have to work hard for it.
...
With everything settled, netizens' lives have become as colorful as before.
The "Huo Yuqiang rape case" has been a very satisfying story for many, with several twists and turns from beginning to end, drawing in netizens' emotions at several times, and ultimately concluding that "justice has triumphed over evil."
A satisfactory start and a satisfactory ending—how could one not be satisfied?
But even the most delicious gossip can become tiresome eventually. The marketing accounts that were severely affected by the "Huo Yu case" have also started to take up their posts after escaping unscathed.
Everyone is so concerned about this case, but what about the instigator who doesn't care about anything?
Are you all curious about the current situation of the "raped woman" who brought down the Huo family through a "rape case"?
Many people in the shadows harbored such deep-seated malice, wanting to dig that mysterious woman out of the water, but they never expected that the money they received to help the Huo family create momentum only amounted to a small fine.
When they tried to uncover the identity of the raped woman, they were summoned for questioning on charges of "spying on confidential personnel." Huh?
Although Ye Xiqing didn't feel that as a victim who hadn't done anything illegal, there was nothing shameful about being out in public.
But she felt there was no need to be lenient with those bizarre creatures who thought they could humiliate women with a soft, spongy body.
Letting them out would only lower the average level of human intelligence; it would be better to imprison them for "espionage" and give them a proper brainwashing.
After all, since humans evolved from monkeys, they should always display some different style, instead of being naked and feeling good about themselves.
In this way, the aftermath of the "Huo Yu case" was remarkably in line with public aesthetics, without resorting to sensationalism or digging up the victim under the guise of what netizens would like to see.
If the victims don't show up, we have to come up with some new topics.
The entire Huo family had been dealt with, and soon it was Huo Yueze's turn.
Initially, Huo Yueze was also invited for tea.
However, after repeated investigations, it was found that he had not yet entered the core of the Huo family, which gave him reason to say that he was unaware of everything and narrowly escaped disaster.
Even if we escape this calamity, what then?
The Huo family mansion has collapsed; all assets have been seized, all illegal gains have been confiscated, and even assets under his name have been frozen, inventoried, and recovered.
He lost everything all at once, even his career in the entertainment industry.
Originally, as a rising star with both good looks and acting skills, a young movie star with countless fans, even without the Huo family, he could still survive in the entertainment industry, and his crazy admirers would help him make a comeback.
But his actions of helping his "rapist father" lie and "recognizing a fake mother" completely ruined his public image.
Zhao Ya could also use the excuse of being coerced and suppressed by the Huo family to play the victim, saying that her withdrawal from the entertainment industry in recent years was all because she was sidelined by the Huo family.
She didn't want to help Huo Yu commit perjury, but she had no choice. She had paid too high a price to rebel against the Huo family, and she couldn't stay strong forever.
The public always pities the weak. When she presented evidence of being bullied by the Huo family, netizens softened their attitude and began to sympathize with her. Some production teams even invited her to act in their films to boost viewership.
Even Zhao Ya can be exonerated, but he can't.
After all, Zhao Ya could be said to have been coerced, but what was your reason?
Even if he was coerced, does that mean he can disown his own mother, help his rapist father, and say things like "send his own mother to jail"?
The more people value kinship, the more unforgivable they are of mistakes made in relation to kinship.
Huo Yueze's mind was buzzing; the world suddenly felt very unfamiliar to him.
Having lost everything, like a rat in the street, hated by everyone, he remembered the last thing Fu Yunzhen said to him—
"One day, you'll realize how much I care about you."
Huo Yueze gradually opened his eyes wider.
It turns out that she had already foreseen everything that was about to happen back then!
