The impact was extremely widespread, threatening to trigger a massive earthquake.

In the Vice Dean’s office at the nursing home, Wan Zhongyuan angrily slammed the table, glaring at the several middle-level managers before him. "What on earth is going on?!"

In front of him lay a mobile phone, its screen filled with negative reviews about their nursing home. Many people were defaming their nursing home, calling it the "Butcher’s Nursing Home."

"Dean Wan, about this... we’ve discussed it. It may be related to the earlier incident where a dog was beaten to death." The middle-level managers exchanged glances and said with bitter smiles, "These negative reviews and news items are all targeting that incident of the dog’s death, slandering our nursing home and calling it a den of filth."

After this incident, the impact on the nursing home was tremendous. The online reputation significantly affected their business expansion. Many elderly people, when choosing a nursing home, immediately ruled theirs out. In the past few days, their business had plummeted, and no new elderly residents had joined.

"It must be Cheng Chuxiao’s doing!" Wan Zhongyuan said resentfully upon hearing this. He didn’t even need to think to guess who was stirring things up. Only Cheng Chuxiao would go to such great lengths for a dog! "She must have hired trolls to defame our nursing home!" he fumed. He then took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Have you notified Qin Mu? Tell him to prepare, draft a legal letter, and send it to Cheng Chuxiao. Demand that she immediately stop her defamatory actions against our institution!"

This matter had caused tremendous harm to their nursing home’s reputation. They had to make the other party cease these infringing actions immediately. Building a good reputation can take years. But a bad one... spreads like wildfire and can destroy their nursing home in an instant! Once the impression of being a den of filth took root in the minds of people in Jin City, their nursing home wouldn’t be far from closure.

"We went to him, but Qin Mu..." Several middle-level managers exchanged glances, their expressions strange as one said, "He said there’s no need to send a legal letter."

"No need to send a legal letter?" Wan Zhongyuan raised an eyebrow and couldn’t help but retort, "Then how do we solve this issue?"

In his view, Cheng Chuxiao had surely hired trolls to slander their nursing home. To stop this kind of behavior, the best method was to nip it in the bud. Regardless of other tactics, they first needed to make Cheng Chuxiao stop hiring trolls.

"He said... he plans to sue everyone who is slandering us," one of the middle-level managers replied, swallowing nervously. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

As soon as those words were spoken, Wan Zhongyuan’s eyes widened, and he murmured incredulously, "Is that really necessary?"

He knew about Qin Mu’s previous case of suing the entire internet. That had been a bloodbath, and the cost had been enormous. Suing so many people would incur substantial legal fees. And in this instance, there were undoubtedly numerous trolls slandering their institution. His idea was simply to target Cheng Chuxiao, to make her stop hiring trolls for this smear campaign. If they were to meticulously pursue every single troll... that would mean truly staggering legal fees! Their nursing home’s finances might genuinely not be able to bear it.

"Qin Mu said... he’ll figure out the money himself," the middle-level manager continued. "He told us not to worry."

Wan Zhongyuan was momentarily speechless.

For some reason, he had a premonition that a storm was brewing; he even felt a little apprehensive. Qin Mu claimed he could solve this problem. He undoubtedly could, but his methods might be somewhat... unconventional.

"These trolls... there shouldn’t be too many of them, right?" Wan Zhongyuan muttered.

Lowering his head, he gazed at the defamatory comments on his phone and couldn’t help but start analyzing the situation. Typically, online slander campaigns are conducted by hired troll farms. A single troll often controls dozens of accounts, and one such farm might only employ a few dozen trolls. If they were only suing those few dozen individuals, he could perhaps stomach it.
