But only she knew that if things continued this way, they might all be wiped out. Suing the entire internet was something Qin Mu had done before.

"Everyone... should we look up Qin Mu’s related news online before deciding whether to continue?" she swallowed hard, cautiously reminding everyone again.

She felt that if they truly understood Qin Mu, everyone would probably make the same choice she had.

However...

"There’s no need to look at this fake news. One glance and it’s clear it’s just clickbait. How could someone be sent to prison for several years just for spitting?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Sister Cheng, just tell us, do you want to continue with this or not?"

"This Qin Mu is probably all hype. Sister Cheng, surely you don’t need to be scared out of your wits?"

"Sister Cheng, let me tell you the truth: we can’t stop now. The whole internet already knows about this. Even if we stop, those netizens won’t stop."

"..."

In the group chat, the others scoffed at the idea. Not one of them was willing to spend time looking into the news. They had all jumped to the conclusion that the news was fake. They even persuaded her to continue leading the team, insisting that victory was within reach.

As Cheng Chuxiao processed these remarks, her expression grew increasingly grim.

Indeed. The current situation... it was as if they were riding a tiger, and it was too difficult to dismount.

Their initial efforts to spread the information had been exceedingly thorough. Nearly every platform, Moments feed, and public account knew about this issue. Many netizens had already begun to spontaneously criticize these elderly care homes.

Even if they stopped... it wouldn’t make much difference.

The situation was no longer within their control.

Realizing this, her complexion turned ghastly pale. She suddenly felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

If only she had thoroughly researched the elderly care home when she first looked into it, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.

Now, she... was in a bind. Backing down wasn’t an option, but neither was pressing on.

If she backed down, all her friends would think she was all talk and no action, merely paying lip service to her supposed love for dogs. They might even consider her hypocritical. This would cause immense harm to her reputation.

If she didn’t back down, things could escalate to an unmanageable level.

...

「The next day.」

「Jin City.」

「Elderly Care Home.」

"Damn it, who exactly is badmouthing me online? Xiao Qin, help me check it out quickly. My son told me I’ve been cyberbullied again."

Early in the morning, Zhang Qingyuan’s cursing could be heard from the courtyard.

Just as Qin Mu entered the elderly care home, Old Zhang stopped him, asking him to help check the specific situation.

"Xiao Qin, you just don’t know! Who could I have possibly offended to deserve this? My son called me early this morning to say that many people online are cursing me." Zhang Qingyuan rubbed his forehead, looking rather frustrated.

Of course, more than frustrated, he was infuriated.

Seeing this, Qin Mu no longer hid the truth. He explained the online situation their elderly care home was currently facing.

Initially, he had planned to tell Old Zhang only after the issue was resolved.

"What?!"

But upon hearing this, Zhang Qingyuan’s eyes widened. He stood frozen on the spot, appearing somewhat excited. "I... I... I’ve been cyberbullied?"

Amidst his excited expression, there was also a profound sense of joy.

A few seconds later, he regained his composure and burst into hearty laughter. "Excellent!"

"It’s finally my turn!"

"Last time Mr. Li got flamed online, I was so envious of him."

"I never thought I’d have such luck!"

"Xiao Qin, quick, come tell me, how are they cursing me online?" He grabbed Qin Mu’s hand and pressed on eagerly.

Seeing this, Qin Mu’s expression darkened.

What the hell? It was finally his turn!

When other people heard they were being cyberbullied, they’d probably be frowning and anxious, worried sick. But Old Zhang’s reaction... was pure joy and excitement. What a stark contrast!

"See for yourself."

Then, he took out his phone and casually opened an online article.

The article depicted Zhang Qingyuan as an old villain who committed all sorts of misdeeds, exploited his age, and was completely lawless.

And the comment section was filled with a torrent of abuse, every foul word imaginable.
