Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

What does it mean to "may encounter some unpleasant things at your doorstep"?

Chu's father couldn't understand the hidden meaning in Lin Xueli's words at all.

Noticing the confusion in Chu's father's eyes, Lin Xueli didn't explain further. She simply took out her phone, opened a popular post, and then handed the screen to him.

"Brother-in-law, you can see for yourself... just make sure you're mentally prepared beforehand."

Lin Xueli's brows furrowed with an undisguised reluctance.

Chu's father took the phone with suspicion, his gaze falling on the bright screen.

Lines of cold text came into view.

The whole story can be roughly summarized as follows:

Chu Ge's personal identity has been thoroughly exposed by netizens. With a group of marketing accounts deliberately stirring up trouble, a massive wave of online violence has swept over her and everyone in the Chu family.

During that epic battle, Chu Ge never committed any wrongdoing within the country, harmed any innocent people, or damaged any buildings.

Even when the out-of-control fire ignited the entire city, she joined hands with Xu Wan to step forward and fight the fire to prevent the disaster from spreading.

However, the devastation caused by Zhurong in Donghai City was too severe, resulting in countless deaths and injuries, and creating an irreparable catastrophe.

In the live stream, the scenes of Chu Ge interacting with Xu Wan and Zhu Rong were magnified infinitely, leading many netizens to arbitrarily label them as accomplices of the calamity.

But Zhu Rong did not belong to this world, and now that he has perished, people have nowhere to turn to vent their anger and whip his corpse.

With nowhere to vent their anger, the people could only direct all their malice at Chu Ge and Xu Wan, as well as their closest family members.

Someone had already used hacking techniques to expose all of their private information and spread it freely across the internet.

With the help of online trolls and marketing accounts, Chu Ge and Xu Wan instantly became the target of widespread condemnation online.

The world has given them horrifying titles, calling them the henchmen of sinners who are destroying the world.

These netizens, who were deliberately incited, had various motives. Some were just blindly following the trend, while others were victims or relatives of the victims in the East China Sea disaster.

Some people harbored narrow-minded jealousy, merely fearing Chu Ge's extraordinary strength.

As fellow human beings, why is she the only one who possesses such extraordinary power?

The jealousy that grows in one's heart continues to ferment, turning all the disappointments and resentments in one's life into malice that is poured out.

The situation escalated under the repeated condemnation from countless netizens, with the comment section filled with insults and vulgar language.

Some people have been repeatedly tagging the authorities, pressuring higher-ups to give the public an explanation.

Some people are also making fervent calls for the police to arrest the criminals' family members and bring them to justice.

There were even some extreme extremists who claimed to have found out Chu Ge and Xu Wan's home addresses.

They recklessly recruited accomplices online, planning to go to their homes together to besiege and denounce them.

During this time, Chu's father stayed by his wife's side in the hospital, keeping his phone on silent and blocking all kinds of harassing calls. So he was completely unaware of the overwhelming outcry online.

Upon learning the full truth, he fell into a long silence.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he had no idea how to deal with the current situation.

After a long while, Chu's father handed the phone back to Lin Xueli, forcing a bitter smile.

"...Thank you, Sherry."

If Lin Xueli hadn't informed him in time, he would still be completely unaware of the raging public opinion storm.

If he waits until he and his wife are discharged from the hospital and return home, their doorstep will probably be piled with garbage, and the walls and gate will be covered with vicious curses.

If the situation worsens, there might even be extremists lying in wait, ready to throw paint at them as a form of retaliation.

Lin Xueli put her phone away, her expression suddenly becoming serious, and she earnestly made a suggestion.

"Brother-in-law, why don't you come with me to Dachang City for a while?"

"Now that your home address has been exposed online, it's too dangerous for you to stay here any longer. Your sister is currently suffering both physically and mentally, and needs to rest and recuperate. She absolutely cannot be subjected to any more stress."

"If I go to Dachang City, I will work there and be able to provide the best recuperation environment. If there are any changes in the future, I can also help immediately."

"Besides, you saw those two people with your own eyes just now."

"Even acquaintances can feel distant, let alone complete strangers?"

"Human nature is unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that there won't be any fanatical or extreme individuals who take risks and commit illegal or excessive acts at your door."

Her words were blunt and biting, yet every single one was a reflection of reality.

After watching the full live replay of that day and figuring out the whole story, Lin Xueli had already anticipated that things would develop to this point.

Cyberbullying has always been like this; it never catches you off guard.

These past two days, she has been closely monitoring online public opinion. Whenever there is any disturbance, she will use her connections and behind-the-scenes resources to suppress it and do her best to isolate the Chu family from this turmoil.

However, this incident is of an exceptionally large scale.

A supreme expert emerges, multiple countries suffer devastating attacks, and hundreds of nuclear bombs are needed to barely quell the unrest...

Any one of these events, taken individually, would be a catastrophe worthy of being recorded in world history.

Even though Lin Xueli holds a high position, is a top scientific research talent, and has a vast network of connections and powerful influence, she still appears insignificant and powerless in the face of this global disaster and public opinion, and is simply unable to completely prevent the situation from sliding in the worst direction.

The limit of what she could do was to do everything in her power to protect everyone in the Chu family.

Chu's father was insightful and always knew how to assess the situation.

After listening to Lin Xueli's advice, he nodded in agreement without the slightest hesitation.

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

Before setting off for Dachang City, Chu's father called Chu Hong to ask if he was doing well at school.

They also told their son that the couple would be going to Dachang City for a while and that there would be no one at home for the time being. They told him to stay at school and not to come home unless there were special circumstances.

In Chu's father's opinion, staying on campus is the safest option for Chu Hong at this stage.

Being surrounded by peers is far more secure than the treacherous social turmoil and endless online abuse outside.

Chu Hong responded calmly on the other end of the phone, telling his parents to be careful on their journey and that he would take good care of himself so they wouldn't have to worry.

The call between father and son lasted less than ten minutes, and the tone was calm and indifferent throughout, just a simple greeting between ordinary family members.

Both of them tacitly avoided any topic about Chu Ge, neither willing to bring up this painful memory.

After hanging up the call, Lin Xueli set off with Chu's father and his wife towards Dachang City.

Inside the moving car, Mr. Chu gently soothed his wife to sleep.

The woman leaned peacefully on his shoulder, her sleeping face serene and gentle.

He looked out the window alone, watching the familiar street scenes rush past him.

Compared to a few days ago, his mental state has improved a lot, and the oppressive and gloomy aura around him has largely dissipated.

But the deep fatigue and bloodshot eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

His wife suffered severe psychological trauma and was unable to take care of herself. Even though he was heartbroken, he could only force himself to calm down.

I must get out of the shadow of my daughter's death as soon as possible and shoulder all the burdens on my shoulders.

Upon arriving in Dachang City, Lin Xueli immediately settled the two into her private detached house.

"You can stay here in peace. Security is tight here, and no one will come to disturb you."

Lin Xueli spoke softly, offering her advice.

"I will arrange for someone to deliver food and daily necessities to you every day. Brother-in-law, you can just accompany your sister for walks in the neighborhood and get some sunshine. Just rest and recuperate."

She specifically instructed, "Try to minimize going out on weekdays, and contact me immediately if you encounter any trouble."

This residential area has an extremely high level of security, with guards patrolling 24 hours a day, and armed soldiers stationed at the entrance to the community, ensuring that no strangers are allowed to enter at will.

Placing Chu's mother here for recuperation is the safest and most prudent decision at present.

This also makes it convenient for her to observe and study the situation nearby, and try to find ways to heal the other person's psychological trauma.

"I understand," Chu's father nodded slowly.

When Lin Xueli was about to leave, he once again expressed his sincere gratitude.
