Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "...Do you have a reading disability? I've already said that I didn't kill your family members."
Xi Xi : "Since you care so much about your family, then explain in detail why you stole Granny You's peace lock and then framed your father?"
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "And the car keys, what exactly are you planning... hanging stolen goods on the car keys? Are you afraid that no one will find out?"
Xi Xi : "If you hadn't framed them first, would your family have become wanted criminals? Would they have lost their lives?"
"Yes, why exactly did Xue Panzi steal things?"
"But the Xue family members are indeed dead... and Xi Xi is the only one wanted by the arrest warrant, so it is indeed a bit suspicious..."
"As I said before, without evidence, a criminal will not admit to being a criminal."
"This won't do, it's too convoluted. Can you translate it from Chinese to Chinese?"
"How did things reverse again?"
"So, did Xi Xi actually use sandpaper on someone?!"
"So, was Xue Panzi lying or not?!"
"Both sides have their own version of events, how can anyone believe it..."
"However, Xi Xi's motive and timing match up, but Xue Panzi didn't. Why would she harm her own family?"
"Yeah, so Xi Xi saying she doesn't have a sand spirit means it's true? You're only targeting Xue Panzi, right?"
Some people on the public chat already disliked her, so they were naturally happy to see her embroiled in verbal attacks.
Xi Xi was about to say something more, but she realized that if she said another word, she would fall into the trap of self-justification.
Just as she was pondering how to subtly shift the focus of the conflict, a name she hadn't seen in a long time suddenly appeared on the public screen.
Sallyman (Ping): "@Xue Panzi, your father's name is Xue Shi, your mother's name is Zhu Li, and your sister's name is Xue Yuanzi, right?"
When Cool Sister Sallyman said this, even Xi Xi was a little shocked. Could it be that Sallyman knew the Xue family? How could she know so much about them?
The public chat was silent for two seconds, then a large group of people suddenly realized what was going on.
"Huh? Xue Shi? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"
"Now that you mention it, the names Panzi and Yuanzi seem familiar..."
"Xue Shi! It's Xue Shi! The racer from the Baida Ke team!"
"Oh right, right! He made headlines after winning the championship because of his private life issues!"
"Ahhh, I remember now! It was cheating during pregnancy!!"
"That's right, that's right. At the time, his wife was pregnant and created a fake Weibo account to expose her husband's infidelity. Later, it was discovered that it was his eldest daughter who impersonated her mother and posted the posts!"
"Yes, yes, yes, this man is sexist and cheated on his wife because he thought she couldn't have a son. What's his daughter's name? I can't remember."
"Xue Panzi, Xue Yuanzi... that's Xue Panzi, Xue Yuanzi!"
"I remember now! I remember it very clearly. I even complained back then that such a beautiful name had such a terrible meaning."
"What's most infuriating is that his wife came out to smooth things over at the end, and in the end, the family was all happy and harmonious, while the indignant netizens were treated like fools..."
"Holy crap, I've never heard of this before..."
“That’s right, to the point that I even thought it was a publicity stunt by the race car driver…”
"Outrageous! Holding a trial online? They're treating netizens like idiots..."
While browsing the public chat, Xi Xi suddenly recalled the events.
No wonder she felt the middle-aged man looked very familiar when she first encountered that family on the roadside, but couldn't quite place him.
It turns out that her line of thinking was wrong.
Xi Xi was so focused on recalling the people she had met in the apocalypse that she never expected this strange sense of familiarity to stem from seeing Xue Shi's photo in a news article a few years ago.
"That doesn't make sense. Xue Lunyu should be Xue Shi's youngest child, right? The oldest he'd be is only four or five this year? It doesn't seem like it at all..."
"That Xue Shi is a race car driver, and he was the champion in the third quarter a few years ago. No wonder the CNH40J2601 Milestone ranks among the top. It's all understandable."
"What else could it be? Someone used Xue Lunyu's light screen to send a message..."
"Yeah, Xue Panzi was a minor a few years ago, right? She was able to impersonate her mother to register a fake account and expose her father's infidelity. This time, impersonating her brother to post shopping agent messages is a piece of cake for her."
"No wonder she hated her father so much, even going so far as to frame him. Sigh..."
"@Xue Panzi, send me a photo, I still remember what your whole family looks like!"
"Damn, I don't feel sorry for this family anymore. They're such scumbags, I'll never forget them."
"But even if someone is a scumbag, it's still inhumane for Xi Xi to kill their entire family and steal their car, isn't it?"
"It just goes to show that evil people will always be punished by other evil people..."
Xue Panzi's past had been exposed, and he seemed too frightened to speak. Just as everyone was discussing this with righteous indignation, the system notification sounded.
