MTL NOVEL Chapter 221: Protected by a Boxer on Weibo??_3
Gu Heng couldn't believe that the boxers would unite so strongly to protect him...
But upon further reflection, Gu Heng could kind of understand...
These so-called boxers never fought against "wealthy" or "foreign" gentlemen; their usual targets were ordinary men. When confronted with so-called quality males, whether wealthy or foreigners, they would actually try their best to protect them...
Seeing those boxers protecting him and pulling in all the hatred, Gu Heng really couldn't hold it together...
He would rather be cursed to death than be labeled as an accomplice of these boxers...
Would he even be able to face anyone in the future?
After watching for a few minutes, Gu Heng returned Lin Jiayun's cell phone to her.
Lin Jiayun, already aware of the specifics from He Jing's phone, spoke up when she saw Gu Heng return her phone, "Gu Heng, I think something's not right."
"What's not right?"
Lin Jiayun spoke with certainty, "He Jing and I have been slandered a few times before. Although it wasn't on the scale of your incident, we still gained a bit of experience.
Those people cursing you on Weibo definitely have prepared scripts. I just scrolled through more than a dozen comment sections and found many similar comments, and quite a few were plainly copy-and-pasted. Although netizens often can't tell right from wrong, you can still distinguish between professional trolls and ordinary netizens being misled.
Normally, it'd only be after several days of fermenting public opinion that these following netizens would start to uniformly curse.
But the opinions in your comment section are too unified; it's clearly being deliberately guided towards conspiracy theories. You know, it's only been just over an hour since you trended online, how could netizens' opinions be so uniform so quickly? These people are obviously professionals."
Listening to Lin Jiayun's analysis, Gu Heng glanced at her.
This woman definitely wasn't just a pretty face.
She could discern so much in just over ten minutes.
However, Gu Heng didn't respond to her and instead immediately made a phone call.
Soon, a cheerful laugh came from the other end of the line, "Yo, isn't this the Billionaire Young Master Gu? Why aren't you handling the news online and have time to contact me?"
Hearing the teasing in the voice on the phone, Gu Heng replied with a smile, "I am handling it, that's why I'm calling you, Fu."
The call Gu Heng made was to Fu Songyang.
Being the president of the HAC Super Car Club and an old wealthy second-generation, Fu Songyang might not have had assets as enormous as Gu Heng's, but when it came to networking, Gu Heng couldn't catch up with him regardless of how hard he tried.
Just like the previous banquet at Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, not only were there wealthy people and the star Lin Zhiying, but there was also Lizi with an official background…
A supercar club alone could gather people from the political, business, and entertainment sectors; who could underestimate such networking?
"How can I help? Smoothen things out for you? I can do it, but it's going to be a bit of a hassle, you probably owe me a favor."
Fu Songyang was straightforward.
Gu Heng replied with a laugh, "There's no need to smooth things over. Fu, I just need you to help me find out who's behind this mess, and then just let me know who it is, that's it. Of course, I'll owe you a favor.
The weight of favors really varies a lot...
And this type of situation, Fu Songyang's method of resolving usually involved suppressing the public discussion using various means, but Gu Heng didn't want to do that.
Why suppress it? He wanted the situation to explode massively so that later no one would dare to mess with him... Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
"Alright, I'll make a few calls and find out for you. It's probably not a very significant figure. If someone really had the capability, they wouldn't choose to attack you through public opinion. These days, who pays attention to online comments?"
