Ruan Mianmian's speaking out goes against the national interest; she is a traitor to the country and will certainly be severely punished afterward.

If she doesn't stand up, she's disregarding the interests of ordinary people. She herself comes from an ordinary family, and after gaining power, she doesn't consider the interests of her peers at all. She doesn't deserve the support of the masses.

There are only so many big players in China, and there are even more families who want to go further. They must be very unhappy that someone like Ruan Mianmian, who has no background, owns so many shares in large companies.

With his carefully crafted pretext, the financial tycoon would surely make a move against Ruan Mianmian, wouldn't he?

Powerful figures or financial tycoons don't need to know the truth; as long as there's a plausible reason, they can take action and snatch everything from Ruan Mianmian.

Su Jingchen trembled slightly with excitement as he thought about his meticulous plan.

He could almost see Ruan Mianmian descend to earth like a phoenix once more, transforming back into the pheasant she once was.

At that time, he would no longer be as gentle as before, waiting for her to be willing.

He would get her as soon as possible and have her bear his children!

Su Jingchen became more and more excited as he thought about it, and couldn't help but invest another sum of money to have online trolls continue to praise Ruan Mianmian and call on her to speak out.

Ruan Mianmian, who was engrossed in scientific research within the Spirit Ring, was completely unaware of this.

The "Walking 50" group has been making efforts, but there has been no official response. Suddenly, they saw Ruan Mianmian being promoted, and remembered that she was also a researcher and a scientist. So they joined in and started urging Ruan Mianmian to speak out.

The day passed, and Ruan Mianmian remained silent.

Various unpleasant comments appeared online, saying that she had forgotten her origins, forgotten where she came from, and had no regard for ordinary people.

Unidentified individuals also called Ruan Mianmian an ingrate: "Back then, when you accused yourself of being bullied at school, I spoke up for you vehemently. Now that we need you, you remain silent. You are a cold-hearted ingrate. You don't deserve our affection. You deserve to be bullied at school!"

This was, after all, an organized online army. Before long, such comments spread to various forums, and Ruan Mianmian seemed to have become an irredeemable villain.

Because of the advent of AI in film and television, many film and television stars, both big and small, who have been criticized by netizens for their acting skills being inferior to AI, have seen their workload and income plummet. They have long harbored deep resentment towards Ruan Mianmian. Now that they have the opportunity, they are spending a lot of money on Douyin (TikTok) and pushing videos that criticize Ruan Mianmian in various ways.

Small companies that lost orders due to economic sanctions imposed by various countries thought that forcing Ruan Mianmian to speak out would change their situation, so they also joined in, targeting Ruan Mianmian.

Yu Qingqing quickly browsed the webpage, her face darkening as she asked Tang You, "Are we just going to let those disgusting people keep insulting Mianmian? Everyone above knows about Mianmian's contributions, how can we let her be insulted like this?"

"Although the new network system failed to be successfully launched, with our local technology, it shouldn't be difficult to find out the identities of those rats in the gutter, right?" Qi Wan asked, her face also looking grim.

Tang You hadn't read the comments online yet, but judging from their expressions, she knew it must be very bad. She thought for a moment and said, "The higher-ups value Mianmian a lot. Right now, the focus is on Mianmian, so they should be taking action soon. Just wait and see."

The turning point came that afternoon.

Abao and his uncle participated in a variety show to experience life in different regions. The location where the show was being filmed that day happened to be an extremely cold place in Northeast China.

The recorded content shows Abao and his uncle helping the homeowner who is temporarily staying at the house to clear the snow off the roof.

Both of them came from the Zhang family and had never done any work since they were young, so naturally they didn't know how to clean the snow off the roof.

After learning a few things from the homeowner, Abao's uncle clumsily cleared the snow off the roof. Watching the thick snowflakes slide down, Abao's uncle felt a great sense of accomplishment, so he became happy and worked even harder.

Ah Bao, who was quite young, also came over to join in the fun, laughing heartily as he watched the snow slide down with his uncle.

Suddenly, as if a switch had been flipped, the remaining snow on the roof, like an enormous, thick blanket, all slid down at once.

The snow was plentiful and thick; if it hit Abao, it could bury him under the snow, or even injure him.

"Watch out—" exclaimed netizens who were recording short videos with their phones.

But it was too late. Thick snow fell with a clatter, covering the people below like a blanket.

Abao's uncle was knocked down by the snow and lay down under the thick snow as if he were sleeping under a blanket.

To everyone's surprise, Abao stood firmly and was not knocked down by the snow!

The netizens who were filming were all stunned. Ignoring the snow on the ground, they pointed their phones at A Bao in shock as they walked over, asking, "What happened? A Bao, why are you still standing?"

"Ah, there's a transparent veil over him, like a selection effect in Photoshop, flowing across his body!"

"Holy crap, what kind of high-tech is this? The legendary protective shield? Does such a thing really exist in this world?"

The netizens filming were so excited that when they walked through the thick snow to A Bao, they excitedly reached out to touch the thin membrane covering A Bao's body: "It's amazing, there really is a membrane..."

They held their phones up to the film: "See that? It's this film, it's amazing!"

But the next moment, the membrane they touched suddenly disappeared.

The excited netizens became even more excited, surrounding A Bao and excitedly asking while filming, "A Bao, is this the legendary protective shield?"

"Could you please show us what the protective shield looks like?"

Abao looked confused: "I don't know..."

After being covered in snow, Abao's uncle was worried about his nephew and immediately got up. That's when he saw the protective film on Abao's body. He quickly went over and said, "Abao, is this the new baby your grandpa bought for you? Let me see it."

“Grandpa hasn’t bought me anything lately,” Abao shook his head.

A well-read netizen immediately asked in a battle-hardened tone, "What are you wearing?"

Abao took out the spirit stone pendant that Ruan Mianmian had given him from his collar: "This is the only one. It's a birthday present from Sister Mianmian."

"Abao, why don't you try again?" Abao's uncle's eyes gleamed with a green light as he stared intently at the spirit stone pendant.

He remembered that when the old man saw the pendant, he liked it very much and even shamelessly asked Ruan Mianmian for it!

He was puzzled. What hadn't the old man seen? Why would he show such interest in a pendant?

Even if it's just to save face for Ruan Mianmian, isn't this going too far?

If this pendant is a protective shield, then everything makes sense!

"How do I try it?" Abao asked, holding his pendant.

Uncle Bao thought for a moment, then pointed at the wall and said, "Go ahead and bang your head against the wall, and hit it with all your might!"
