He thought for a moment, and then continued, "This incident was quite famous back then. Many Weibo influencers, Tieba forums, and all sorts of celebrities had posted about it.
Five years ago, 'That Amorous Affair' made a post claiming that the chairman of Hyatt Corporation had forced her into an affair with a man who wasn't even eighteen yet. "
"At the time, she claimed that she didn't know that the chairman was already married, and that he even had a child who wasn't much younger than her.
Mr Wang told her that he wasn't married yet, and that he had feelings for her. However, she couldn't resist the dreams of the chairman's wife, and Chairman Wang's generosity. In the end, she agreed. "
Arthis responded calmly, "It's normal for a man and a woman to fall in love with each other."
Qin Ye shook his head, "This is only the beginning. The turning point … would come a week later."
"Originally, this post was rather tepid. At best, the term 'eighteen year old girl' struck a chord in many people's hearts.
Hyatt Corporation isn't a real estate tycoon, so who would care about what happens to them?
But there are some people in this world who believe that they can see through everything, that they possess discerning eyes, and that they can be the guardians of the world.
Furthermore, they use their feeble voices to summon a resounding sense of existence. "
"This post was originally posted on the Tianya forum, and it should still be accessible by now. I didn't see it at the time, but I've heard that many people who saw the post immediately accused 'That Amorous Affair' of being a phoenix who was trying to climb up the tree and become a phoenix.
They accused her of using the moral high ground, and everyone else of being trash.
Therefore … "
He looked deeply into Chairman Wang's eyes, "A week later, 'That Amorous Affair' released … an audio recording and a photo in a fit of rage."
There was a brief silence.
Wang Zemin's soul fluctuated wildly. Qin Ye continued in a neutral tone, "What's the most eye-catching thing on the internet?
The opposite sex.
What was even more unfortunate was that That Amorous Affair was quite beautiful.
Unfortunately … Chairman Wang's photo was so large that it refreshed the worldview of newcomers … Erm … even my worldview was slightly refreshed. "
"Do you remember the Eel Sect of old?
It's easy to become famous these days. All you have to do is be beautiful, and do things that others wouldn't dare to do. If it's related to sex, then it's even better.
In an instant, he became an internet celebrity.
Now that this has happened, it's like throwing a bloody piece of meat into the sea of the internet. Countless people have caught the scent of it. A week after this post was manually pinned to the top, it finally caught the attention of some platforms. As a result, headlines, breaking news, and the previously unknown Hyatt instantly became a trending topic. "
Arthas let out a pensive hum.
"Almost overnight, this photo and audio spread all over the Internet.
Thousands of moralists, who thought they had grasped the truth, rushed to Hyatt's website and hurled insults and insults. They stood on the moral high ground and could use the most vicious language to curse the other party, because that was their right. "
Wang Zemin sighed faintly and said firmly, "I didn't do it."
"But my voice is too small. I remember posting on Weibo.
It was immediately drowned in the spit of countless' rationality '!
They can find countless self-righteous' loopholes' in the simple 'story' of that amorous affair! "
"I shut down the company's website and began to search through the internet. I finally found the identity of the culprit.
This … turned out to be a young, 25-year-old newcomer!
She's not an 18-year-old girl at all! "
"Just a week ago, she submitted a request for a pay raise, but I rejected it. There are only a few people in Hyatt, and I personally rejected it.
She said that the salary was low, and that's because it wasn't high.
But … would any boss pay more?
They could only do so because one party was willing to take the hit, and the other was willing to take the hit.
This was a collaboration between the two of them. "
"If you're not willing, please find another job.
But I'd never expected the human heart to be this vicious! "
Qin Ye nodded, "So, you chose to sue."
Wang Zemin looked up at the sky and smiled bitterly, "Can you imagine … can you imagine how twisted and repulsive some people are right now?
As soon as we posted the complaint on Weibo … Weibo instantly went silent. "
"Countless' prophets' and 'moralists' began to mutter to themselves, 'I'm afraid there's more to this matter than meets the eye', 'Did I see it wrong?
This isn't the case? 'Hang on … it's all the same … it's all the same … "
"The lawsuit was a success. If there is, then there is. If there isn't, then there isn't. Hyatt has won.
I've won.
But … the results were even more unexpected. "
His voice rose sharply, "In the end … we only received a few hundred 'sorry' and 'I was wrong' comments on the internet!!"
"It's almost as though the tens of thousands of insults, curses and sanctions had never appeared overnight!
It was just three words!
The longest was no more than ten words!
Two to three hundred people out of ten thousand were willing to admit their mistakes just because of these three to ten words!
Most of them chose to forget about it!!
They're like rabid dogs hiding behind their computers, waiting for the next piece of bait!! "
His voice was somewhat loud, and it reverberated throughout the room.
Seconds later, he lowered his head and gnashed his teeth, "The price of spreading rumors is too low. This is why so many people are so fearless.
If the law doesn't punish evil, then evil will eventually turn into great evil! "
"In their eyes, these are just a few words from each of them.
But as for me … there's no other option other than to distance myself from Eastsea Province. "
Arthis was calm. She had experienced far too many life-and-death situations. For instance, her relationship with Jaina …
No. She was simply bewildered, "If that's the case, then why did the other party turn into an evil ghost?"
Qin Ye responded with equal calmness, "Because the outcome is simple. As soon as the verdict was announced, the winds on the internet immediately took a sharp turn. Back then, the people who had scolded Hyatt were now scolding That Amorous Affair even more viciously."
"It's because they want to cover up their shame. What's left of their conscience, and what's left of their sense of shame, is driving them to do something.
What should they do?
Leave a comment under Hyatt's previous statement?
No. There's no such thing as' courage after knowing shame 'in their dictionary.
It's almost as though they're telling Chairman Wang - Look, I've stood up for you.
I'll scold her harshly.
As for what Hyatt has experienced, they'll selectively forget about it.
Even if you want to slap yourself, you'll still have to find a good angle, right?
Slapping someone in the face is the best outcome. "
Arthis clicked her tongue, "Tsk, tsk, tsk … humans really aren't as adorable as ghosts at times."
"But of course." Qin Ye's gaze grew deep, "Ghosts will always be ghosts, but humans … may not always be humans."
"And our detestable and pitiful Amorous Affair, after being subjected to a torrent of insults and insults, finally chose to end her own life."
"She jumped off the roof of Hyatt."
Wang Zemin laughed, "Do you know something … when I first heard that she had jumped off the building, I was the one who refused to restrain her.
I was overjoyed. I've never been so happy before!
I couldn't wait to see her corpse exposed to the sun for three days straight … "
Just then, a surprised voice called out, "Dad?"
Qin Ye froze and turned around abruptly. Wang Chenghao had already woken up at some point in time, and was staring at everything with a flabbergasted expression on his face.
Clang … Simultaneously, the bowl in front of the incense burner overturned, and the Yin rice spilled all over the floor.
Bzzt … The lights in the room went out in unison.
Yang energy collided, and the lamp blew out.
"Quick!
Get to the point! "Qin Ye immediately barked," What happened next?
What happened?
Where's the stone?!
How did you die?! "
Wang Zemin froze, and then his body began to fade rapidly. He stared at his own hands in astonishment, and then abruptly looked up and yelled, "I've been having nightmares ever since that woman died!
A week ago, someone mailed me a stone, and it's in my office safe!
The password is 200086, Ah Hao's birthday!
Tomorrow is his birthday! "
"As for how I died … I can't remember it either. It's almost as though I fell asleep, and never woke up again …"
Before he could finish speaking, the sound of chains rang out in the void, and Wang Zemin's soul vanished from the face of the earth, carrying with it the words that he hadn't even finished speaking.
Silence.
Qin Ye picked up the chicken blood and splashed it on the incense burner table with an expressionless face.
Qin Ye walked over to the dumbfounded Wang Chenghao.
Wang Chenghao asked in bewilderment, "W-what's this?
M-my dad's soul?
What the hell happened?
Earlier … "
Before Wang Chenghao could even finish speaking, Qin Ye smacked him on the back of the neck. Wang Chenghao's eyes rolled back into his head, and he fainted in a state of ecstasy.
The lights came back on again. Neither of them spoke. Both of them appeared to be deep in thought.
"So, that woman's obsession was that she never became the boss's wife?
That's ridiculous. "Arthis muttered placidly.
Qin Ye picked up his teacup and smiled, "I'm afraid you haven't come into contact with many living humans in your long life.
Humans are creatures that will remain as quiet as a salted fish when there's no hope in sight.
But as soon as there's hope in sight, only to lose it once more, it's a feeling that can turn even the kindest of people into the most evil of evil spirits. "
"What do you plan to do?"
"Simple." Qin Ye glanced at Wang Chenghao, "Wouldn't it be better to just let him retrieve the stone?"
Instant silence.
Seconds later, Arthis asked with great disbelief, "You mean … you're not going to purge this ghost?"
There's such a thing?
Qin Ye glanced at the pokeball in bewilderment, "Of course!
If you can steal a tower, why would you want to face someone head-on?
This is a game of tower pushing! "
"Hang on … you've made up your mind to make the first move. What's with the sudden change in attitude?"
Qin Ye sighed wistfully, "Like I've said earlier, humans … will remain quiet as a salted fish when there's no hope in sight. But when there's hope, they'll do their best."
"You're doing your best to steal, aren't you? But is it really a good idea to let a ghost go in front of a former Infernal Judge like me?
Didn't you struggle a little earlier?
If you put in a little more effort, I might just be able to see you in a different light. "
"Impossible!"
Qin Ye responded sternly, "Unless you're forced into a corner … struggling is impossible. At least not in this lifetime."
