Seeing the overwhelmingly negative public opinion online, Shen Yufei put away her phone with satisfaction.

She felt incredibly pleased as she drank the nutritious porridge that Gao Yufeng had specially ordered to be delivered.

Shen Yanran, even if you have a man behind you willing to help you, so what? You were still trampled underfoot by her.

She refused to believe that after so much of Shen Yanran's dark history was dug up online, that mysterious man would still believe Shen Yanran was innocent and would still stand up for her!

But her joy was short-lived, as it was extinguished by a sudden phone call from Ye Shasha.

"Feifei, something bad has happened! The police have really come looking for me! What should I do?" Ye Shasha asked, her face pale as she held the phone.

Shen Yufei was slightly taken aback. "How could this be? Why would the police come looking for you out of the blue?"

"I don't know either. The police said I need to assist with the investigation, but I have a feeling that things aren't that simple. Feifei, you're my best friend, you have to help me!" Ye Shasha was so anxious that tears were almost coming out.

Shen Yufei was genuinely surprised that the police would trace it back to Ye Shasha so quickly, and she panicked for a moment.

She had just hung up the phone when she hesitated whether to call Gao Yufeng. After all, Ye Shasha was Gao Yufeng's cousin, and she had to find a way to get her out of the police station.

However, just as one problem was about to be solved, another arose, and Chen Liping also encountered a setback.

All the Weibo posts and posts that wantonly insulted and deliberately smeared Shen Yanran disappeared in an instant. Even the name Shen Yanran became a banned word. Not only could no related information be found, but the words could not even be typed online.

Even worse, the evidence provided showed how Shen Yufei's fans, who were deliberately retaliating against Shen Yanran, were gradually instigated to commit crimes. The evidence also mentioned that it wasn't just about teaching Shen Yanran a lesson, but also emphasized that they must rape her and ruin her reputation—such a vicious demand.

And the blame for all of this naturally points to Shen Yufei.

Suddenly, Shen Yufei became the target of everyone's criticism!

Many netizens did not believe this was true and demanded that Shen Yufei come forward and give a reasonable explanation.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who had turned the tide of online public opinion, calmly gave a report to Li Zhanting.

“We have all the online public opinion under our control. Those thugs who were sent to the police station have also been formally prosecuted by the procuratorate. Because they were afraid of going to jail, they told us everything. I also posted all this evidence online. Shen Yufei is now the target of public criticism.”

Although the incident happened suddenly, Li Zhanting was still satisfied with Xu Fan's efficiency. "Hmm, well done."

Xu Fan dared not take credit, but was only glad that he discovered it in time, otherwise it would have been his dereliction of duty.

Because of this incident, Shen Yufei ruined her hard-won Dior China endorsement deal.

The brokerage firm suffered a loss of nearly ten million yuan.

Under pressure, the management company had no choice but to issue a lawyer's statement on its own Weibo account, clarifying that Shen Yufei was innocent and that the actions of those fans were their personal actions and had nothing to do with Shen Yufei herself.

Such a statement was not very convincing, but fans who were willing to believe Shen Yufei flooded the comments section to support her.

But for some reason, the top trending topic on Weibo was still Shen Yufei inciting her fans to commit violent crimes.

Enraged, Shen Yufei overturned everything in front of her to the ground. "Who is it? Who on earth is going against her?"

Chen Liping arrived at the hospital at this time to discuss countermeasures with Shen Yufei. Seeing the mess on the ground, she was slightly taken aback and asked, "Feifei, what are you doing?"

Shen Yufei always maintained the noble image of a wealthy young lady in front of Chen Liping, and she could not reveal her true colors at this moment. So she immediately put her injured arm in front of her and said with a sad face, "My hand hurts terribly. I accidentally knocked over the table and haven't had time to clean it up yet. Sister Chen, what brings you here?"

"It's all because of those stupid fans of yours. I don't know who's behind this, but our previous attempt to direct public opinion against Shen Yanran has completely failed. The fact that you instigated your fans to retaliate is still at the top of the trending topics list. No matter how much I communicate with Weibo's higher-ups, or even try to pay a high price to have the trending topic removed, they remain unmoved. Things are getting increasingly out of control!" Chen Liping told Shen Yufei everything with a heavy expression. "What's even more infuriating is that the Dior China ambassadorship deal I finally secured for you has also been affected, and we've been forced to cancel the cooperation!"

"What!" A fierce glint flashed across Shen Yufei's delicate face. "Who dares to oppose us?"

Chen Liping had been focused on the situation on her phone and didn't notice Shen Yufei's expression. She just frowned and guessed, "I haven't found out who this person is yet, but it must be related to Shen Yanran. And those fans of yours who were arrested are also troublesome. We can't contact them at all, and we can't let them recant their confessions."

Just as Chen Liping finished speaking, Shen Yufei's phone rang. It was Ye Shasha calling.

Shen Yufei didn't want to answer, but she was afraid that the coward might do something stupid that would affect her, so she reluctantly picked up, "Hello, Sasha..."

"Feifei, what should I do? The police have really found out everything, and they've even investigated all the alternate accounts I used to chat with my fans. They told me to contact my family to handle this, but I really don't dare tell my parents. Please think of a way to help me, I don't want to go to jail!" Ye Shasha cried anxiously on the phone.

Shen Yufei was just worrying about how to deal with those fans when Ye Shasha delivered herself to her doorstep.

What a perfect scapegoat...

"How could this happen, Sasha? I never imagined that you were the mastermind behind this whole thing. As my friend, you broke the law. Sasha, you have really disappointed me!" Shen Yufei said on the phone, feigning sadness.

The completely unexpected answer threw Ye Shasha into a panic. "Feifei, what do you mean by that? I did all this for your own good. You said you didn't want the fans to be sad, and you asked me to tell the fans about your injury..."

"I said I didn't want to upset the fans, but I didn't say I wanted them to avenge me. It was all your own doing and has nothing to do with me. Now that the police have found out it was you, you should cooperate with them and try to get leniency for confessing. As for your parents, I'll talk to them on their behalf." Shen Yufei said righteously and then hung up the phone.

Chen Liping overheard the entire phone call. "Was it really Ye Shasha who did it?"

"Yes, the police have arrested her. I was also very surprised. I didn't expect Sasha to do such a stupid thing. Sigh... I have to contact her parents as soon as possible. I just hope that Uncle and Uncle won't be too sad." Shen Yufei said with a heartbroken look.

"Ye Shasha is really your best friend, she would do something like this for you." Although Chen Liping said this, it was clear that Shen Yufei had no intention of helping at all.

The two used to be incredibly close, almost inseparable every day. People who didn't know them would have thought they were sisters.

However, it seems that the two of them are not as good as they imagined; they really are cheap, fake friends.

Shen Yufei curled her lips in disdain. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Shasha was Gao Yufeng's cousin and could stand up for her against Shen Yanran, she wouldn't have bothered with that idiot.

"The truth has come out. Sister Chen, could you please contact a few reporters for me? I want to explain the situation in person so that my fans who are truly good to me won't have to worry."

Chen Liping certainly wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, and immediately took out her phone to contact several reporters she had good relationships with to come to the hospital.

Before long, reporters from the media, having received the news, flocked to the scene, all eager to be the first to publish the headline story.

Knowing that reporters were coming, Shen Yufei dressed up carefully and made sure to show them her injured arm to prove how pitiful and innocent she was.

"I am very grateful to everyone for coming to the hospital and helping me clarify the facts. Actually, my injury was a complete accident and has nothing to do with my sister. Moreover, the rumors circulating online that I instigated fans to retaliate against my sister are all unfounded. Although I lost an important endorsement because of this, it doesn't matter. The police have already investigated and found that it was all Ye Shasha's personal behavior and has nothing to do with me. Here, I would like to use the media to tell those fans who truly care about me and protect me that everyone must remain calm when facing problems and not just follow the crowd."

With her beautiful, delicate face raised, Shen Yufei, despite her exhaustion, feigned strength as she issued a statement to the media.

All the reporters present couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Even though she was already injured and hospitalized, she still insisted on providing positive messages for online public opinion and her fans.

Meanwhile, some of them received news that Ye Shasha had been administratively detained for fifteen days by the police on charges of instigating others to commit crimes, which indirectly proved the authenticity of Shen Yufei's public statement.

Finally, this sudden media storm came to an end with the headline that Ye Shasha was the real culprit behind it all.
