A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Just when some people were wavering, an article in the Sichuan Daily suddenly appeared, directly making people's minds clear.

After all, official statements are quite authoritative.

This article was written by Lin Fang.

After leaving the hospital, she drove straight back to the newspaper office, locked herself in her office, and typed away furiously on her keyboard.

Then I wrote this article in one go.

"The strategist enters the game himself, winning by half a move against fate."

Lin Fang did not resort to emotional appeals.

She recounted the entire incident from beginning to end with an almost detached style.

The article concludes: "He knew he would be criticized, knew he would be misunderstood, knew he might be ruined. But he still did it. Because he had done the math: trading his reputation for a child's life was a worthwhile deal. A strategist who puts himself into the game wins by a hair's breadth. He won, won cleanly!"

This article garnered over a million views in less than half an hour after it was published.

Shares, comments, likes—every number is jumping up at a visible speed.

The doubts disappeared, replaced by shock and guilt.

"I'm impressed, truly impressed. From beginning to end, he didn't offer a single explanation, and he took all the blame himself. What kind of god-like performance is that?"

"He could have explained, but he didn't, because he knew that once he explained, the hype would die down, and no one would care about the child anymore. He gave all the 'reason' to others and carried the 'mistake' forward himself!"

"The strategist personally intervened, gaining a significant advantage over fate; this article is worthy of Su Fan!"

"I recommend everyone listen to 'Sorrow' (消愁). Listening to it now, it feels completely different!"

……

Everyone was initially marveling at Su Fan's prowess.

At that moment, a comment was immediately pushed to the top.

"I admit it was wrong of me to insult Su Fan, but I was just playing along with his act. Otherwise, how could there be such a perfect ending!"

Now, everyone has found a reasonable excuse for their previous insults.

"Yes, I'm cooperating with Su Fan!"

"I'm also a contributor to this effort!"

"Thumbs up for Su Fan, and thumbs up for myself for insulting Su Fan!"

"Su Fan is right, the process isn't important, as long as the result is good!"

……

Lin Fang's article went viral, immediately topping the trending search list.

At this moment, Peng Wanli walked into Lin Fang's office.

"Xiaolin, I read your article."

Lin Fang looked at him without saying a word.

Peng Wanli nodded, his tone carrying a deliberate seriousness: "Well written. You've really brought honor to our newspaper this time. I just glanced at the data, and it's already surpassed one million views and is second on the trending topics list. Our newspaper hasn't achieved this result before this year."

Lin Fang's expression didn't change much; she simply said calmly, "I'm just reporting based on the facts."

Upon hearing this, Peng Wanli's smile began to falter.

He vividly remembered the argument he had with Lin Fang not long ago.

They even replaced the person in charge of the Su Fan incident with someone else.

Peng Wanli was silent for a few seconds, his expression changing several times, before finally forcing a smile and saying, "Yes, yes, the facts are important."

Seeing that he was just trying to make conversation, Lin Fang said, "Editor-in-Chief Peng, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."

Peng Wanli understood that this was an order to leave, so he could only get up reluctantly: "You go ahead and do your work."

Lin Fang said to Peng Wanli, who had just arrived at the door, "Uncle Peng, my dad said he has two bottles of good wine. He wants you to come and drink them when you have time."

Upon hearing this, Peng Wanli immediately smiled: "Tomorrow, I'll go tomorrow."

……

At this moment, Su Fan had just come out of the recording studio.

"Done, you surnamed Wang, let's see how you die this time!"

After arriving in Jiangxi Province, he did not go to Longhu Mountain immediately, but instead went into the city and found a recording studio.

The song he recorded is "Nie".

This song, "On Earth," was written and composed by Oldbaby, and sung by Big Cat AIGC and Oldbaby.

Su Fan had originally considered taking out "Rakshasa City".

That song was even harsher in its criticism, and even more deeply hidden.

But he feared that the world's audience wouldn't be able to grasp those intricate metaphors.

Let's be more direct, sharper, and get straight to the point.

I found an internet cafe, registered the copyright, and then dragged the song into the publishing interface.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the music platform displayed "upload successful".

Next, he opened Weibo and posted a message.

"The tangled branches have not yet turned yellow, but they rely on the east wind to become wild. Some people only know how to bully others by taking advantage of their power. This new song is for you."

After finishing writing, he clicked "Add Attachment" and dragged in the recording of his conversation with Wang Chuan.

confirm.

send.

Meanwhile, Wang Chuan was in his office handling the aftermath.

He called all the contacts of Yu Baye and Xiao Yu Bailongmen one by one, telling them to shut up for now and wait until things calmed down.

After hanging up the last phone call, he leaned back in his chair.

"I'll let you off this time, but I promise, next time I'll crush you to death!"

When he said this, there was a fierce resentment in his tone.

But he knew in his heart that he had already lost this round.

The trending topics have completely shifted.

The article in the Sichuan Daily etched the phrase "getting involved personally" into everyone's minds.

It's impossible for him to turn things around in this matter.

But he wasn't afraid.

Because he's done this kind of thing far too many times.

They stir up trouble, throw dirty water, and then come out again after the storm has passed.

The internet has no memory; everyone will forget about it in a few days and go back to doing what they were doing.

As for those two big V accounts, Yu Baye and Xiao Yu Bailongmen, there's even less to worry about.

Having been in this line of work for so many years, their specialty is playing dead.

Even if you get criticized for a few days, just close the comment section, disappear for a while, and come back after the storm has passed. You'll still be a big influencer with millions of followers.

Wang Chuan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and felt that he had regained his composure.

But what he didn't know was that Su Fan's Weibo had already been updated.

Su Fan has quite a few fans now.

Given his current popularity, many people clicked to view the news immediately after it was released.

The text left everyone somewhat confused.

I noticed there was an audio clip below, so I clicked on it.

The recording is short, just over a minute long.

In the recording, a man's voice is clear and distinct, without a single word being unclear.

"Let me tell you, I've already arranged for people to stir up trouble online..."

The recording explicitly mentions two influential figures, Yu Baye and Xiao Yu Bailongmen, who are the main forces behind stirring up trouble.

No one who listened to this recording could remain calm.

"A social media influencer with millions of followers does this kind of thing? Is she even human?"

"Hey, Mr. Entertainment, when you were slamming your fist on the table and yelling at Su Fan in the live stream yesterday, did you think you were incredibly righteous? And now? Doesn't your face hurt?"

"How can someone like this be allowed to operate on this platform? I suggest a permanent ban!"

"Those 'intriguing' and 'deeply murky' statements in Xiaoyu's article have now bounced back and stabbed you in the back, haven't they?"
