Chapter 1499: Chapter 1462: Home of Cannon Fodder 70
The power of netizens is indeed formidable.
Moreover, Anning has naval forces at her disposal.
The first task Fatty Xu assigned the naval forces was to steer the narrative surrounding Qin Xiaomeng’s incident.
The hundreds of thousands of accounts under Fatty Xu’s control were all mobilized, the videos and audio clips were shared widely, and online backlash erupted, not only condemning the Old Madam and her son but also hurling insults at Feng Yino.
Under Fatty Xu’s guidance, people quickly linked the video and audio clip together, and then some truth-seekers deduced that it must be related to the same incident.
As a result, the Old Madam and her son were doxxed.
Many patients in the hospital learned about this case, and whenever the Old Madam’s son showed up at the hospital, people would curse him out.
Especially some of the elderly residing in the hospital, they would vehemently insult the Old Madam’s son, using extremely harsh language.
Elderly people prioritize filial piety, and to them, a son who can cruelly break his own mother’s leg is akin to a beast, even worse than an animal.
At this point, the hospital had no choice but to testify.
The hospital’s official website published various examination reports from the Old Madam’s initial admission, explaining that she merely bumped into something and had some minor external injuries and a sprained ankle that required a couple of days’ bed rest, but just a few days into her hospital stay, she sustained a leg fracture. Her son even sought out trouble with the hospital, claiming medical malpractice and causing disruptions that the hospital found hard to clarify.
Of course, after these examination reports surfaced, the mother and son duo incurred even more ire.
Some even went so far as to say the Old Madam deserved having her leg broken, that someone as malicious as her would surely meet a bad end.
The Old Madam and her son’s situation worsened, and Feng Yino’s condition was even more dismal.
Now, the entire school knew what kind of person Feng Yino was.
On the surface, she seemed quiet and gentle, but her actions were beneath contempt; she clearly was the one who hit the person but shifted all the blame onto Qin Xiaomeng, even nearly destroying Qin Xiaomeng’s life.
If it weren’t for someone conveniently recording a video and posting it online, even if Qin Xiaomeng had ten mouths, she wouldn’t have been able to defend herself.
The three Qin siblings were all in the same class, and Qin Xiaomeng was a kind-hearted girl, blessed with beauty, who always treated others amiably. Her classmates had a very good impression of her.
Xiao Yishan was also not someone to stir up trouble; after joining the class, she focused on her studies, earning the respect of the hardworking classmates, and they thought well of her.
Qin Xiaocong had a lively personality; he was more experienced and mature than his classmates and was exceptionally skillful socially. After joining the class, he made many friends, and all the boys got along well with him, while many girls liked him secretly.
Everyone knew Qin Xiaomeng was Qin Xiaocong’s sister, and just for Qin Xiaocong’s sake, classmates began to ostracize Feng Yino.
Feng Yino was subjected to sarcastic remarks and verbal abuse from her classmates during the day, and dual assaults from her parents at night when she returned home.
The son of the Old Madam found his way to Feng Yino’s house every day demanding money, throwing disgraceful insults in between.
Feng Yino’s parents couldn’t withstand the pressure and vented their anger on Feng Yino.
Who asked this girl to stir up trouble for no reason, getting herself into a mess?
If she had cleared things up from the beginning upon bumping into the Old Madam, it wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
Feng Yino was beaten until her head was swollen and, amidst the beatings, cried, "Isn’t it because you’re all incompetent? If you had the ability, would I need to fear framing a classmate? I did it all considering the family, to avoid us having to compensate!"
"You audacious little girl, you think you’re justified?"
Feng Yino’s father, infuriated, shouted, "You didn’t even hit her! Why didn’t you call us immediately? We could’ve resolved this calmly. Why did you frame your classmate?"
But it was not necessarily so. Feng Dad was acquainted with the Old Madam and her son, and they knew Feng’s family had no money, they couldn’t squeeze any out. Feng Dad could’ve offered a couple of thousand yuan and everything would’ve been resolved. However, Feng Yino complicated matters, and neither family benefitted from it.
"Can you blame me? Would they have ended up like this if they hadn’t had malicious intentions?"
Feng Yino stubbornly replied.
She refused to admit she did it due to jealousy towards Qin Xiaomeng, harboring such a dark mentality.
Feng Dad had scolded and beaten her enough, but even so, Feng Yino refused to admit her fault; he couldn’t possibly beat the girl to death.
Feng Mom, distressed, tearfully begged Feng Dad, "Let it be. It’s our fate. Things have come to this, let’s quickly transfer Nono to a different school, so she won’t suffer at the school. If needed, we can move. After all, the Old Madam wasn’t severely injured initially; the hospital confirmed it, and if they try to extort us, they won’t succeed."
The Feng family genuinely felt they had no way out.
Feng Dad went to the school to arrange Feng Yino’s transfer. Anyway, she couldn’t enter a better school, but with her good academic performance, transferring to a general high school was feasible.
After the transfer, the Feng family picked a time and moved houses.
Feng Yino thought this would bring peace.
But she celebrated too soon.
Meanwhile, the Old Madam couldn’t stay in the hospital any longer; she was truly terrified of the verbal abuse.
She pleaded to be discharged.
Her son had no choice but to complete her discharge procedures.
However, upon discharge, the Old Madam’s son was hardly home.
She was alright in the hospital with the nurses caring for her, but at home, her son was constantly absent, and her leg was still healing. With limited mobility, lying in bed every day, her leg ached, and when hungry or thirsty, no one cared, not even when she needed to use the restroom, sometimes soiling the bed. She truly suffered greatly.
This was when the Old Madam truly regretted it.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she would never have allowed her son to break her leg, ending up penniless, with a tarnished reputation, and having to endure such immense suffering.
Yet, despite her regret, she still had to bear this suffering.
After Feng Yino transferred schools, Qin Xiaomeng’s emotional state improved significantly.
Seeing Feng Yino made Qin Xiaomeng feel uncomfortable; even without speaking, she felt disgusted.
With Feng Yino gone, Qin Xiaomeng felt the air was noticeably fresher, and a smile adorned her face daily.
Seeing Qin Xiaomeng’s improved mood, Qin Xiaocong felt more at ease.
However, Qin Xiaocong felt it was not enough to let Feng Yino and the Old Madam’s son off so lightly.
He had long been setting his plans in motion.
After all, Qin Xiaocong has a blood connection with the Xie Family; he had more interactions with the Xie Family than Xiao Lu and was much closer to them.
Moreover, following Chen Wei around, Qin Xiaocong gained a lot of knowledge and met plenty of people.
Along with the connections Xie Kun helped him make, his network came into play at this moment.
He didn’t mind spending money. The pocket money Anning and Xiao Yuan gave him before, along with the savings he accumulated over the past year, he invested in the stock market during his university years.
This boy had a talent for numbers and truly excelled in finance. Initially, he lost a bit when he first invested in the stock market, but later he started earning. Though the earnings weren’t much at first, it was consistent. Now, the money in Qin Xiaocong’s hands had multiplied several times.
He liquidated some of this money to teach the Old Madam and her son, as well as Feng Yino, a lesson.
