"Wait a minute, I don't quite understand what you meant."

Lu Haifeng frowned, took half a step forward, and spoke with a tone full of confusion.

"Who are you going to sue? Chen Xiaoxiao or...?"

Having just heard Yu Chenzhou's plan to "strike first," Lu Haifeng couldn't keep up with the other's train of thought. He raised his hand to rub his temples and asked in confusion.

"Let's take action against these troublemakers!"

As he spoke, Yu Chenzhou gently turned his wrist, precisely pointing his still-lit phone at Lu Haifeng's gaze, and lightly tapped the screen with his fingertip, indicating that he should look carefully.

Lu Haifeng looked at the phone screen, his confused expression instantly freezing. He stood there stunned, even the curve of his lips stiffening.

Because on Yu Chenzhou's phone screen, the homepage of a self-media blogger was clearly displayed, with several videos smearing the hospital and Yu Chenzhou pinned at the top.

Lu Haifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized—Yu Chenzhou was going to settle accounts with those who spread false rumors?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Lu Haifeng withdrew his gaze and looked at Yu Chenzhou with a solemn expression.

"If people who make a living by attracting attention and spreading rumors were so easy to sue, they would have been dealt with long ago and wouldn't have gotten to where they are today."

Having worked in the medical system for so many years, Lu Haifeng has witnessed many similar public opinion storms and heard many cases of lawsuits against self-media.

He knew very well that bloggers who dared to spread rumors so blatantly either had a team operating behind them or capital backing them up, and it was no accident that they could stand firm.

"If they sue one or two people, maybe they can settle the matter by paying some money and issuing a perfunctory apology."

Yu Chenzhou's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"But what if hundreds or thousands of people sue together?"

Since they think they can do whatever they want by controlling public opinion and distort the truth, then I'll first break the leg that allows them to profit from public opinion!

As Yu Chenzhou spoke, a faint smile appeared on his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes. In Lu Haifeng's eyes, the smile seemed to hide a chilling coldness that made his heart tighten.

"Are you trying to start a class-action lawsuit?"

Lu Haifeng instantly guessed Yu Chenzhou's thoughts, his voice rising several decibels in surprise.

"But this is too risky! Doing this will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. The capital behind those bloggers will definitely not sit idly by and will definitely step in to intervene."

Moreover, the hospital's higher-level leaders would certainly not stand idly by in order to quell the situation.

Once mediation begins, we will inevitably be the ones putting pressure on, and in the end, we will most likely be forced to concede. It will all be a lot of noise but little effect, accomplishing nothing at all.

After figuring out the key points, Lu Haifeng's confusion turned into surprise, and his tone was tinged with urgency.

"What's there to be afraid of?" Yu Chenzhou waved his hand dismissively.

"Anyway, I've already submitted my resignation. Those superiors have absolutely nothing to do with me, so what can they do to me?"

As he spoke, he shrugged indifferently, looking calmly at Lu Haifeng, seemingly unconcerned about the potential pressure.

"But have you thought about the consequences?"

Lu Haifeng frowned even more, his tone tinged with worry.

"With this commotion, you'll be completely unable to establish yourself in the entire medical community!"

The more Lu Haifeng thought about it, the more frightened he felt. The chain reaction of this series of events was terrifying.

This was enough to ruin Yu Chenzhou's medical career, and he looked at Yu Chenzhou with a troubled expression.

"I'll say it again: I don't have any great abilities, but I do have an optimistic attitude."

Yu Chenzhou's tone remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of seriousness.

"In my opinion, the medical community has never lacked doctors, but every time we lose a conscientious and capable doctor, it is a loss for the entire industry, and even more so for the patients who need help."

As for myself, I'm just changing industries to make a living. In this day and age, as long as you're willing to work hard, why should you be afraid of not finding a way to make a living?

Yu Chenzhou's expression remained unchanged, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. He looked calmly at Lu Haifeng, his eyes full of determination.

"You have a point."

Lu Haifeng was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded, his tone full of regret.

"Putting everything else aside, your calligraphy and painting skills alone are enough to establish you in the calligraphy and painting circle and make you very successful."

"It's such a pity that someone with your abilities would give up practicing medicine."

As he spoke, he sighed softly, his eyes almost overflowing with regret.

"Enough about me, Lao Lu. What about you? What are your plans for the future?"

After explaining his plans, Yu Chenzhou turned the conversation to Lu Haifeng, his eyes filled with a question.

"What else can we do? We can only file a lawsuit with you."

Lu Haifeng sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness. He knew this was the only way at the moment, and no matter how difficult it was, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

"Perfect timing! I had an appointment with a lawyer to discuss something. Would you like to come along?"

Now that Lu Haifeng had made his decision, Yu Chenzhou took the opportunity to extend an invitation and looked at him, asking a question.

"You've already made an appointment with a lawyer?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Haifeng looked surprised again, staring at Yu Chenzhou with astonishment.

"It's not about the hospital incident; it's about me personally suing an internet celebrity."

Yu Chenzhou explained.

"I'll explain the details to you on the way. My appointment with the lawyer is coming up soon, so I need to hurry."

As he spoke, he pointed to the watch on his wrist, indicating that time was of the essence.

"Okay, then I'll go with you to see this lawyer."

Lu Haifeng thought for a moment and then nodded.

"If this lawyer is competent, I will entrust the hospital's lawsuit to him directly, which will save me the trouble of finding another lawyer."

Lu Haifeng originally thought that Yu Chenzhou had hired a lawyer for the hospital's public relations lawsuit. After learning that the other party also wanted to sue the internet celebrity, he didn't think much of it and readily agreed.

Without further ado, the two turned and walked out of the hospital's office building, heading towards the car parked at the door, preparing to go to Qin Jin's law firm.

The moment the two finished their conversation, the system notification sounded clearly in Yu Chenzhou's mind again:

[The system detected that the host refused to let Lu Haifeng take the blame, upholding principles and bottom lines. One lottery draw chance will be awarded as a reward.]

As the car slowly drove away from the hospital and headed to the law firm, Yu Chenzhou briefly explained to Lu Haifeng the background of his decision to sue the internet celebrity.

After listening, Lu Haifeng couldn't help but laugh and joked:

"Do you think you've developed some kind of 'attracting trouble' constitution? Why do you always run into these annoying things when you're just going out on a date?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzhou merely smiled faintly and gave a noncommittal reply:

"Heh, who knows!"

He thought to himself: After all, I am the protagonist of this book. How can the plot be driven forward if I don't attract some negative attention or cause some conflict?

If everything goes smoothly and without any waves, then what is the point of his existence as the protagonist?

More than half an hour later, the car arrived at its destination.

When Yu Chenzhou and Lu Haifeng got out of the car and saw the large, gold-plated characters "Liuhe Tongheng Law Firm" on the law firm's signboard, they both stopped in their tracks, a look of surprise on their faces.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes—if they hadn't misunderstood.

The phrase "六和衡" likely means to resolve disputes and unify the overall situation.

The name is undeniably powerful, yet it also carries an inexplicable air of childish eccentricity, making it somewhat incongruous with a proper law firm.

Lu Haifeng couldn't help but lower his voice and lean closer to Yu Chenzhou to ask:

"Are you sure this law firm is really capable? Just based on the name, it seems a bit unreliable."

His tone was full of suspicion, after all, it involved the vital interests of the hospital and Yu Chenzhou, and there was no room for carelessness.

"Don't worry, my girlfriend found this for me, so her skills are definitely top-notch."

Yu Chenzhou patted Lu Haifeng on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"As for names, who hasn't had a reckless, immature phase in their youth? There's no need to take it too seriously."

Without further hesitation, Yu Chenzhou pushed open the door and walked towards the front desk inside the law firm.

Seeing this, Lu Haifeng could only suppress his doubts and quickly followed, intending to go in and find out what was going on.

After Yu Chenzhou explained his purpose to the receptionist, the receptionist led the two through the exquisitely decorated reception area to the door of Qin Jin's office.

As Lu Haifeng pushed open the door and entered the office, his initial doubts vanished instantly.

Just by looking at the office decor, you can tell that this law firm is well-funded and far superior to those small, workshop-style law firms.

The two sat down on the sofa, and the receptionist quickly brought over two cups of hot tea.

They waited in the office for more than ten minutes before Qin Jin hurriedly pushed the door open and came in.

But as soon as he entered, he said something that left Yu Chenzhou completely baffled.

"Mr. Yu, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

As he spoke, Qin Jin quickly stepped forward, his tone apologetic.

"I was just meeting with several victims who were harassed by Brother Xiaoming's live stream, and I collected a lot of key evidence."

Thanks to your fans, these victims contacted me proactively. With their testimonies, I have more confidence for tomorrow's court hearing.

Yu Chenzhou paused, a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I know about collecting evidence from people who were harassed by Brother Xiaoming, but what's this about my fans?"

When did I get fans? How come I didn't know?

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Yu Chenzhou with surprise, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

It should be noted that Yu Chenzhou never reveals his real information when playing games, and so far only Xiao Yilin knows about this. Logically speaking, no outsiders should know.

"Mr. Yu is unaware of this matter?"

Qin Jin's tone was full of surprise. In his opinion, most people with so many fans would have already spread the word, yet Yu Chenzhou was completely unaware of it.

Seeing that Yu Chenzhou looked completely bewildered, and realizing that he didn't seem to be faking it, he immediately began to explain.

"Didn't you paint a sunset picture in Gu Kaizhi's style at the Oriental Pearl City Square a while ago?"

After finishing the painting, you even wrote a poem in Wang Xizhi's running script on the spot, and then you even burned that priceless painting!

Qin Jin spoke rapidly.

"Because it was broadcast live at the time, the news spread quickly online. Now, many people in the calligraphy and painting circles have seen the related self-media edited videos and are full of praise for your calligraphy and painting skills."

At this point, Qin Jin took out his phone, quickly opened a video platform, found a blogger's account related to calligraphy and painting, and then handed the phone to Yu Chenzhou:

"Look, this is your personal account."

Although only a video related to that painting has been released so far, it has already garnered nearly ten million views.

In addition, fans have spontaneously created three fan groups for you, although one of them is a group for haters.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chenzhou's confusion deepened. He took Qin Jin's phone with a bewildered look and began to look through it carefully.

After scrolling through the contents of his phone, Yu Chenzhou finally understood what was going on and instantly realized why so many people were paying attention to him today.

He did register accounts on multiple platforms, but he never paid attention to them after registering.

Besides himself, only Xiao Yilin could log into these accounts.

Yu Chenzhou immediately understood. No wonder Xiao Yilin had been hiding on the side with her phone these past two days, acting all mysterious. It turned out she was helping him manage these accounts.

What left Yu Chenzhou speechless was that when he clicked into the three fan groups based on the account information, he discovered that the group owners of all three groups were the same person—Xiao Yilin.

Although the three accounts were different, he recognized them at a glance by their familiar usernames; they were all Xiao Yilin's alternate accounts.

In other words, Xiao Yilin was his number one fan, cheering him on like crazy, while at the same time she created a fake account to be the leader of the anti-fans, leading the attack on him, managing to play both sides very well.

"It has to be you! You're getting better and better at having fun!"

After figuring out the whole story, Yu Chenzhou shook his head helplessly, returned the phone to Qin Jin, and thought to himself, but couldn't help but show a doting smile on his face.

Qin Jin took the phone, concealing his surprise, and immediately got down to business, seriously discussing the case:

"Mr. Yu, regarding the case against Brother Xiaoming, with the evidence provided by those victims and the materials we collected earlier, I am now 60% confident of winning the case."

However, there is one thing I need to clarify with you: the crime of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble" can be serious or minor. His situation of harassing people during a live broadcast is a relatively minor one.

Even if we successfully classify civil liability as criminal liability, the judge may consider the minor nature of the offense, and also take into account his good attitude and willingness to admit wrongdoing during the trial.

It's highly unlikely the sentence will be too severe; at most, it will be short-term detention or probation.

Qin Jin spoke very objectively, analyzing all the possibilities for Yu Chenzhou.

"It doesn't matter, as long as he faces criminal charges, that's enough."

Yu Chenzhou nodded in satisfaction. His goal was not to force the other party to their death, but simply to make them pay the price they deserved.
