Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

Without lingering, Jiang Chen gave the other two a look, and they left the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Stepping out the door, Zhou Zhenhai gritted his teeth and muttered a complaint in a low voice, "This is outrageous!"

"How can they distort the truth like this in broad daylight!"

They presented strong evidence, but it wasn't approved by the authorities?

The reason is obvious to everyone; it must be something done by Anze Nursing Home!

"That's normal."

Jiang Chen kept walking, his tone very calm.

"The other party has been operating for many years and has deep-rooted connections in Xuzhou. They definitely won't let us have it so easily."

"But this precisely illustrates one point: the more they suppress cases, the more it shows their guilty conscience!"

"Our evidence proves we've hit their weak spot!"

Jiang Chen's eyes grew brighter.

Although the case has hit a wall, it doesn't mean it's over.

On the contrary, it proves one thing: what he did could cause panic at the nursing home!

Otherwise, they wouldn't have used their connections to try and suppress the case.

This matter requires further consideration.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Zhenhai, Jiang Chen and Chen Qiaowei drove back to the law firm.

Jiang Chen returned to his office and began to organize his thoughts.

Since he couldn't file a report at the local police station, he had to think of other ways to get out of the situation.

However, within a few hours, Chen Qiaowei hurriedly knocked on Jiang Chen's office door.

Boom boom boom!

"Enter……"

Jiang Chen said without looking up.

Chen Qiaowei opened the door and hurriedly walked into the office, forgetting to close the door behind her.

She rushed to Jiang Chen's desk, her expression somewhat complicated.

"Jiang Lu! Something terrible has happened!"

"Just now, the online discussion completely exploded!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately looked up.

Online public opinion?

He has been in the evidence investigation phase these past two days and has not conducted any live online broadcasts.

Logically speaking, this case shouldn't have gone viral online.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen asked, puzzled.

Chen Qiaowei opened her mouth, but didn't know how to explain.

In the end, he could only hand the phone to Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Lu, this... you can see for yourself!"

On Chen Qiaowei's phone, several pages were open, and Jiang Chen checked them one by one.

As he watched, his expression changed.

At this moment, major social media platforms, trending short videos, and online forums are completely flooded with a large amount of homogenized content from online trolls.

The content that flooded the screen was all malicious attacks against Jiang Chen.

The specific entries are also very simple.

#A popular lawyer maliciously framed a well-known elderly care company to gain traffic!#

#A lawyer is deliberately distorting facts and spreading misinformation to smear a high-end senior living brand!#

#Anze Nursing Home has been operating legitimately for many years, yet it has been maliciously slandered by an online celebrity lawyer!#

#……#

So many new terms have appeared out of nowhere on the trending topics list.

Those in the know understand that this is definitely a rhetoric orchestrated by online trolls!

The online trolls can manipulate public opinion and sway the entire internet!

As expected, under the posts related to these keywords, there were many netizens who, without knowing the truth, began to maliciously attack Jiang Chen.

[Tsk tsk tsk... Who would have thought that Attorney Jiang, who was so upright not long ago, would do something like this!]

I'm starting to suspect that Attorney Jiang was faking it all along!

[I knew it was outrageous! Anze is a top-tier, high-end nursing home in Central China with an excellent reputation. How could they possibly abandon their elderly?]

[This is impossible, even a fool would know!]

[It turns out the lawyer was trying to gain attention and create hype by fabricating negative information to target a large company!]

This is disgusting! They'll do anything to get attention, even using the elderly as a topic to grab eyeballs!

No wonder they were always live-streaming their investigations; frankly, it was all about hype to gain followers!

【…】

Countless netizens, unaware of the truth, were led astray by the narrative.

A large number of doubts and insults against Jiang Chen began to appear online.

In just a few hours, public opinion on the internet completely reversed.

This must also be a tactic employed by Anze Nursing Home, hiring online trolls to smear Jiang Chen!

Jiang Chen already had a history of "bad behavior," and now he's run into this kind of trouble.

If not handled properly, public opinion could explode!

Chen Qiaowei was also very angry about this.

"They're shameless! Using public relations to suppress public opinion and distorting the truth!"

"That's outrageous!"

Jiang Chen's expression remained calm, but the coldness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Whether it's smearing someone through public opinion or using personal connections to interfere.

Gao Jianming is planning to use all his trump cards to completely cut off all his options!

It's a pity he's not buying it!

For Jiang Chen, online opinions, whether good or bad, no longer have any impact on him.

As for the reason...

Its tolerance has been greatly enhanced!

Jiang Chen could put aside the situation of being criticized by the entire internet before, let alone now?

There are many people who criticize him, but who are these people?

Jiang Chen didn't care and instead prepared to continue collecting evidence.

"It's alright. No matter how much something is spread online, falsehoods can't become truths."

"When the truth comes out, those who maliciously fabricate rumors will also suffer the backlash of public opinion!"

Chen Qiaowei nodded, indicating that she understood Jiang Chen's meaning.

However, at that moment...

There was a knock on the door of his law firm office.

Boom boom boom!

The knock was steady and forceful.

Chen Qiaowei frowned and looked up: "Who is it?"

A deep, somewhat arrogant male voice came from outside the door.

"I am Fu Chengyu, the lawyer representing Anze Nursing Home."

"We've come to discuss the case!"

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly and said calmly, "Go in!"

The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a refined demeanor, dressed in a custom-made high-end suit, slowly walked in.

After he entered, he made no attempt to be polite and went straight to sit on the sofa opposite the desk.

His demeanor was composed, yet carried an air of condescending pressure.

Chen Qiaowei frowned, about to speak, but was interrupted by Jiang Chen.

"Sister Chen, you can go back and get back to work now."

"I'll handle things with him here."

Jiang Chen chuckled.

It seems to be asking, "Can you really manage on your own?"

Jiang Chen nodded, his eyes showing certainty.

Chen Qiaowei then got up and left the office.

Fu Chengyu looked up at Jiang Chen, his tone calm but carrying a blatant warning.

"Attorney Jiang, I'm not here today to discuss the lawsuit, but only to talk about a settlement."

"President Gao appreciates your abilities and doesn't want things to escalate to the point of mutual destruction."

As he spoke, Fu Chengyu raised his hand and gestured a number.

Two million.

"As long as you immediately withdraw the lawsuit, delete all related statements, cease all investigations, and never again touch anything related to Anze Nursing Home, this money will be deposited into your account immediately!"

Faced with the exorbitant hush money, Fu Chengyu remained resolute, utterly disbelieving that anyone could refuse.

Jiang Chen just looked at him indifferently, without saying a word.

Seeing that he remained expressionless, Fu Chengyu's face darkened slightly.
