Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

The death from food poisoning at Fu Sheng Liu Ji immediately became a hot topic online, and photos of family members hanging white banners outside the main Fu Sheng Liu Ji restaurant, demanding an explanation, have been widely circulated online. Rong Zixuan, the person directly responsible for the restaurant, has been taken into police custody. The main Fu Sheng Liu Ji restaurant has also been sealed off by relevant authorities, and samples from the store have been sent for inspection.

After the incident, Li Zhanwen immediately contacted the family to apologize and negotiate compensation, but the family refused to accept and demanded severe punishment. Furthermore, the family also voiced their concerns online, accusing the Fu Sheng Liu Ji restaurant of bullying customers and attempting to settle the matter with money. The labeling of the restaurant as "rich and unkind" and "bullying customers" sparked widespread outrage online.

All of Fu Sheng Liu Ji's official accounts were taken down, with netizens flooding the accounts with insults and venting their anger, ultimately forcing them to close the comments. However, netizens, unsatisfied, flocked to Zhong Ding's account to continue venting their anger. Even Rong Zixuan's personal account, Li Zhanwen's personal account, and my own personal account—every account associated with Fu Sheng Liu Ji and Rong Zixuan—became a place for netizens to vent their anger.

Three days after the incident, the relevant authorities announced the results of their investigation. The results indicated that the deceased had consumed food contaminated with aflatoxin, becoming poisoned and falling into a coma. Resuscitation efforts were ineffective and resulted in the death of the deceased. Aflatoxin was detected in both the peanuts consumed by the deceased and in peanut samples collected from the Fu Sheng Liu Ji kitchen.

The notification served as a license for netizens to attack Fu Sheng Liu Ji and Rong Zixuan online with impunity. Some even went so far as to splash red paint on various Fu Sheng Liu Ji branches, writing in large red ink the words "Kill, pay with your life." Although the perpetrators were reported to the police and apprehended, they garnered widespread online support, sparking even more extremists to follow suit. Fu Sheng Liu Ji branches were splashed with paint daily, cleaned up the day before, only to be splashed again the next morning. This extreme outburst severely impacted business, forcing each branch to temporarily close.

Later, the victim's family directly refused to negotiate with us, even refusing to engage with us. Furthermore, the victim's family regularly broadcast live streams online to solicit sympathy, and their followers skyrocketed. Later, some radical netizens, no longer content with simply throwing paint, writing large characters, and sending wreaths to the Fu Sheng Liu Ji store, turned to digging out all of Rong Zixuan's personal information. Even though his parents had passed away, a very small number of unscrupulous netizens still insulted his parents, claiming that he had killed them, using extremely vicious language. I'm thankful that Rong Zixuan is at the police station; otherwise, he would be deeply heartbroken to see such comments. This is a direct attack that kills the heart and hits the vital points.

Extreme netizens even tracked down Jiashu and Jiache's school class and repeatedly harassed them at the school gate. For their safety, I assigned extra security to escort them to school. However, children are easily influenced by outside influences, and the two brothers felt isolated by their classmates. Every time they returned home, they were deeply depressed. Eventually, they began to not want to go to school, even to fear it. Ultimately, I gave them a long vacation to rest at home.

"Mom, is Dad really a bad person?" Jiashu asked dejectedly.

"How could that be? Although your father has many little flaws, he is not a bad person!" I explained directly.

"But our classmates all say that we are the sons of a murderer!" Jia Che was also very frustrated.

"What others say may not be right. Do you think your father is a bad person?" I asked with a smile.

"But why was Dad arrested by the police? Aren't only bad guys arrested by the police?" Jiashu was still very sad.

"The person who is arrested by the police is not necessarily a bad person. Dad is just cooperating with the police investigation. Once the police have a result, Dad can come back." I continued to comfort him.

"Has the investigation not been completed after so long?" Jia Che continued to ask.

"Adult matters are complicated, so they take a little longer." I continued to smile.

"Will Dad come out of the police station and our classmates play with us again?" Jiashu asked expectantly.

"Yes! Then can you tell Mom why your classmates don't play with you when you are in school? Doesn't that kid Wen Zheng always play with you? Why haven't you been with him recently?"

"He also wants to play with us, but when he does, other classmates will scold him, so he doesn't dare to do it!" Jiashu was very distressed.

"It's all Bao Weijie's fault! He was the first one to say that we were the sons of a murderer! Then he took the lead and told the classmates not to let us join them. They didn't want to be with the son of a murderer!" Jia Che said angrily.

After listening to what the two brothers experienced at school, I felt very sorry for them being involved in this turmoil at such a young age, which cast a shadow on their carefree childhood.

"Are they asleep?" Li Zhanwen asked in a low voice when he saw me coming out of Jiache's room.

"Yes, I finally managed to coax them to sleep. They haven't slept well at night these days, so let them have a good nap."

"Then let's go to the study and talk."

"it is good!"

When we got to the study, we returned to our normal tone without having to worry about the children hearing us.

"The family still refuses to talk to us?"

"They have blocked all our contact information. We had a good chat at the beginning. Although she kept blaming us, we also tried to comfort her, which did have some effect. In the middle of the conversation, I don't know whose call the family member received and her attitude suddenly took a turn for the worse. She directly kicked us out. We waited outside the door, but she directly drove us out of the building with a knife. The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of the entire building, and then the neighbors also helped her drive us away. We had no choice but to go home first!" Li Zhanwen was helpless.

"Have they hired a defense lawyer? We can talk to their lawyer."

"No, they haven't invited me yet."

"Have you visited Rong Zixuan?"

"I went there and asked him some questions. He said they strictly manage their ingredients every day and that moldy or spoiled food is absolutely discarded. But he didn't know why those moldy peanuts were in the kitchen and were actually used. I also inquired with the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, and they said Fu Sheng Liu Ji's kitchen hygiene standards were up to standard. They were very puzzled by one point: the peanuts in the peanut jar were visibly moldy, so why were they still used? I also asked the chef who prepared the dish that day, and he said there was no visible mold on the peanuts. The assistant who prepared the dish also said the peanuts were fine!"

"Has Rong Zixuan had any conflicts or disagreements with anyone in the restaurant recently?"

"He said he had a conflict with the cleaner, Aunt Chen, last month over mopping the floor, but other than that, he hadn't had any conflicts with anyone else. He said Aunt Chen is usually carefree, so she wouldn't take such things to heart. Later, Aunt Chen was late because her grandson was sick, and Rong Zixuan asked why, so he didn't deduct her salary. Aunt Chen was very grateful to him afterwards."

"Have you checked the surveillance footage? Did you find anything unusual?"

"We've checked the surveillance footage from the last three months and found no suspicious individuals."

I fell into deep thought. Now all the clues are against us, and I really can't find a breakthrough for the time being.

The family was livestreaming again that afternoon, and I joined the room to watch the entire thing. In the room, the family member reminisced about her husband's life, explaining that he had originally gone to Fu Sheng Liu Ji with friends for a long-awaited dinner, but hadn't expected his passing to be forever. Furthermore, their family wasn't well off, and her husband had to save up enough money to go to Fu Sheng Liu Ji after a week of eating steamed buns and pickles. Had she known this, she should have stopped her husband from doing such a foolish thing.

The family member cried as they spoke, and as they cried, the screen was flooded with gifts from netizens. After a live broadcast, the family member received quite a generous amount of tips. And there have probably been tips every day during the live broadcast these days. While gaining sympathy, receiving gifts from netizens, and putting pressure on Fusheng Liuji, it's like killing three birds with one stone!

Furthermore, the family member's comments during the livestream were highly logical. They shifted the subject, dodged key issues, and obscured key points, secretly fueling netizens' anger towards Fu Sheng Liu Ji. After the livestream, I felt that this woman was no ordinary person!

A few days ago, Fu Sheng Liu Ji was a hot restaurant online, beloved by netizens. But now, Fu Sheng Liu Ji is like a rat crossing the street, being chased by everyone. This has made me deeply aware of the power of the internet: water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it! I have also come to realize that netizens generally lack rationality and objectivity, blindly following the crowd.
