Zhou Shuyi's video was similar to Tony's.
The general idea was that Qin Xuan's character was absolutely fine and it was impossible for him to bully others with his influence.
But how could today's internet users listen to such things?
"Heh, you're just Qin Xuan's sycophant, selling your soul for money! I hope you'll still have this attitude when something happens to your family."
"Hilarious, still trying to whitewash this? Don't you see that your Qin Xuan daddy is now an enemy of the entire internet? Do you really think you're someone just because you have a few fans?"
"So disappointing, I originally thought Tony was a sunny, handsome, and principled streamer, but I didn't expect him to defend Qin Xuan! I'm switching from fan to hater!"
"Sister Zhou, are you stupid? Can you take Qin Xuan's money? Listen to me, delete the video and apologize quickly, or I'll unfollow you first."
Comments like these flooded both of their videos, but Tony and Sister Zhou refused to back down at all.
In just half an hour, their follower counts dropped from 12 million and 5.5 million to 9.82 million and 4.2 million respectively.
However, the videos from these two super big V's were considered minor skirmishes at this point.
This was because a personal account named "Fu Mei's Mother Li Fengying" suddenly logged into various online platforms.
As soon as she logged in, she synchronously posted a video titled "Fu Mei's Mother Diagnosed with Terminal Illness, Please Save My Daughter" on major video websites.
In the video, Li Fengying lay weakly on a hospital bed, speaking to the camera with difficulty, forcing herself to say: "Hello everyone, I am Fu Mei's mother, Li Fengying.
Everyone should already know about my daughter's situation.
Thank you all for your concern.
Today, I'm posting this video to bother you all because I want to ask for your help.
Just yesterday, I was diagnosed with late-stage cancer by the doctor and don't have many days left to live.
But my daughter is still in prison and hasn't been released!
How can I rest assured?!
It doesn't matter if I die, but Fu Mei is only twenty-four years old.
Her life has just begun!
So I beg you all, please seek justice for her!
I believe justice is in people's hearts, and those who want to use their power to manipulate the common people will surely not end well!"
The release of this video was like adding fuel to the fire for the already enraged public.
"Fu Mei's mom is probably only in her forties this year, and already in late-stage cancer? My heavens, what kind of human suffering is this?"
"I'm a medical student. Late-stage cancer in one's forties can generally be treated slowly. As long as the treatment is appropriate, extending life by a few years or even more than a decade is definitely not a problem, it's just the cost..."
"Fu Mei's mom, you have to hold on! Fu Mei is waiting to reunite with you!"
"Sister Fengying, the person upstairs is right, cancer isn't scary. As long as it's treated properly, you can still hold on until Fu Mei gets married and has children! Please don't give up!"
"Wuwu, no, this is too heartbreaking! Aunt Fengying is preparing to give up on herself to save Fu Mei! Only a mother has this kind of love! I'm so moved!"
"Yes, as a mother, seeing Aunt Fengying cry makes me weep uncontrollably..."
Influenced by the video, more and more netizens began flocking to Jiangcheng's official social media accounts.
Whether it was videos, posts, or anything else that allowed comments and messages, they were all flooded with remarks like "Punish Qin Xuan severely and give Li Fengying and her daughter justice."
Jiangcheng's official channels, unable to bear the disturbance, quickly issued an announcement stating that they would investigate the truth of the matter as soon as possible.
But it was still of no use.
Helplessly, Jiangcheng's official channels could only follow the example of the Jiangcheng Law Enforcement Bureau and disable all comment functions.
At the same time, an observer of human affairs who had been following the incident suddenly had their eyes light up.
He was worried about what to do for his next video to continue riding the wave of popularity, and now the material had come to him.
So he quickly turned on his equipment and sat back in front of the camera.
The routine was the same as before.
Explain the content of Li Fengying's video and then incite the emotions of netizens.
As long as there were no accidents, this video would become a hit like the previous ones.
But just as his finger was about to click the send button, a wonderful idea suddenly popped into his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally, for this idea, he completely redid all the videos he had just recorded!
Even if he couldn't catch the first wave of popularity, he wouldn't hesitate!
"Hello dear viewers, I am your friend, the Observer of Human Affairs.
Just now, the Qin Xuan assault incident has seen new developments.
The mother of the female protagonist, Fu Mei, has opened accounts on major platforms and posted a video stating, 'I have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and hope that netizens will seek justice for them.'
I watched the video immediately and prepared the news.
However, I deleted the video myself just before it was released.
Because I believe that my shallow views are simply unable to convey to you the deep love this mother has for her daughter.
Nor can they substantially help this unfortunate mother and daughter.
Therefore, I have decided to set off immediately from now on and go directly to Jiangcheng to visit Aunt Li Fengying.
I have already bought my plane ticket, and it will take off in an hour.
Dear viewers, we will see you in Jiangcheng!"
It had to be said that this Observer of Human Affairs was indeed a genius in the media industry.
Just as everyone was posting videos to ride the popularity wave, following his old path, he had already taken a step ahead and prepared to participate in the event itself.
And for the Observer's actions, various passersby, netizens, and fans naturally supported them immensely.
Countless praises and cheers instantly filled his comment section and private messages.
Many even suggested that the Observer set up a crowdfunding campaign to help Li Fengying with her medical expenses.
The Observer of Human Affairs saw this and immediately became interested. So, on his way to the airport, he urgently recorded another video on his phone.
"Dear viewers, this video was urgently recorded by me on the way to the airport.
Since I posted the last video, I have received many private messages from people who care about Aunt Li Fengying.
Some asked me to convey their greetings, and some wanted me to send them warmth.
Here, the Observer wants to reply to everyone uniformly.
First, regarding greetings.
Please rest assured.
After the Observer arrives in Jiangcheng, I will contact Aunt Li immediately.
As long as Aunt Li allows it, I will start a live broadcast for everyone.
At that time, you can completely send your greetings in the bullet comments yourself.
Next, regarding crowdfunding for Auntie's medical treatment.
This idea is not impossible to realize, but it requires some preparation.
At the very least, I need to go to Jiangcheng first and confirm Aunt Li's condition, right?
After all, the Observer is also a big streamer, and I need to be responsible to every caring fan.
So, new and old fans, don't be anxious. Once the preparations are complete, the Observer will release all the relevant information.
I guarantee it will be completely open and transparent, so that you can truly help Aunt Li Fengying!"
