Chapter 44: My Heart Started to Ache
He said it was good news, and it must have to do with Ye Zhun’s situation.
"Check the news online first."
Ye Yan scrolled through the webpage he had pulled up, where the previous reports about three high school students bullying a girl had taken a dramatic turn.
Someone had leaked the video from that day; the truth was that it was two unruly youths who first kidnapped the girl, and the three high school students arrived only after hearing her cries for help.
Due to prior negative public opinion, netizens mistook an act of bravery for a fight caused by bullying.
Now the truth had surfaced, and the slander was gradually shifting towards the two unruly youths as netizens called for legal action against them and also offered apologies to the three high school students.
Luckily, the personal information of these three students had never been leaked; otherwise, it would certainly have affected their studies and lives.
Such is the power of public opinion—it can distort truth and falsehood, or it can lead to lasting fame. Many people simply do not seek the truth. They just go with the flow, disregarding the harm their actions may cause others... It’s not something they concern themselves with.
"What’s the good news?" Ye Yan let out a long sigh of relief.
"The plaintiff has dropped the charges."
