At this moment, the live stream is still at its peak in popularity across the entire internet.

The focus of discussion among hundreds of thousands of viewers was still fixed on the new logo of rice.

The screen was filled with comments, all of them sarcastic and meme-filled.

The joke of spending two million to round off the corners completely dominated the online discussion.

Guests and media at the offline press conference were also whispering among themselves.

Everyone felt that Tian Jun's actions were a classic example of wrongdoing.

While the entire internet was still frantically criticizing, making memes, and scrutinizing how perfunctory the logo changes were.

Tian Jun on stage interrupted the entire rhythm with his words.

He stood firmly in the center of the camera, his voice clear and resonant throughout the venue and the live broadcast room.

"I know that the topic that suddenly appeared on the trending searches across the entire internet last night is still trending at a high level."

"It also caused everyone to completely give up on rice products and brand upgrades."

"They then became extremely interested in my private life."

The moment those words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire room instantly shifted.

The noisy discussions offline suddenly stopped.

Viewers who were initially debating whether the logo was worth it instantly shifted their attention.

For netizens, brand upgrades and trademark iterations are trivial industry matters that are of little importance.

But gossip about the wealthy and private scandals are the eternal secrets to top-tier online traffic!

Looking at logos is nowhere near as fun as watching the drama unfold!

The live stream chat refreshed instantly, completely clearing out the previous LOGO meme content.

The focus of the entire internet instantly shifted back to the illegitimate child scandal.

The online troll team, which had been lying low for a moment, instantly came back to life.

A large number of comments were generated, creating a frenzy and controlling the flow of the chat.

"Here it comes, here it comes, finally it's time to start the PR cleanup!"

"I bet five cents it's just another standard denial, nothing new!"

"What a hypocrite! I don't believe a single word of his public relations rhetoric!"

"Get out of here! The evidence of him being an illegitimate child is irrefutable, all you do is stubbornly deny it!"

"It's all over the internet, trying to clear one's name with nothing but empty words? That's ridiculous."

The negative sentiment instantly returned to full force, with the entire internet audience waiting to see Tian Jun make a desperate attempt to whitewash the situation, hoping for a laugh.

Having already anticipated these malicious comments, Tian Jun remained calm.

He looked directly into the camera, his tone firm, giving his first public response.

"Here, I can tell you clearly."

"The online rumors that Mr. Zhang Yifan is my illegitimate son are pure nonsense and utter rubbish!"

This refutation of the rumor was made.

The mocking tone in the live stream chat did not diminish; on the contrary, it intensified.

The predictions of the entire online audience have come true.

"Just as I expected! I knew he'd only deny it verbally!"

"They use the same PR tactic year after year; all they do is talk the talk but walk the walk!"

"Don't speak without evidence. Anyone can try to whitewash something with empty words."

"I'm really tired of seeing this; there's nothing new about it."

The entire internet is filled with skepticism; no one chooses to believe this mere verbal refutation.

In the common perception of netizens, whenever something goes wrong, the first thing to do is to deny it stubbornly.

Saying more is pointless; the more you deny it, the more guilty you seem.

Tian Jun still offered no further explanation.

He knew all too well that baseless refutations were utterly ineffective in the online environment.

No amount of rhetoric can replace solid evidence.

He directly controlled the remote control to switch the display on the large screen behind him.

Two high-definition, front-facing solo photos instantly filled the entire screen.

On the left is Tian Jun's ID photo, and on the right is Zhang Yifan's front-facing photo.

The split-screen display is clear and contrasting, with no signs of retouching.

Everyone in the venue, including hundreds of thousands of online viewers, instantly focused their attention on the screen.

Just as everyone was pondering the meaning behind Tian Junfang's plan.

Tian Jun spoke up at the opportune moment, offering the simplest and most intuitive logic.

"As we all know, genetics is a very rigorous discipline, and genes are the most unalterable code in the human body."

"Those who are direct blood relatives will definitely have similar features in appearance, features, and expression."

"Everyone can compare for themselves whether Mr. Zhang Yifan and I have any similarities whatsoever."

The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.

Offline guests and media reporters all looked up and stared intently at the big screen.

Hundreds of thousands of netizens online also took it more seriously than ever before.

The level of focus at this moment is more than ten times greater than when comparing the old and new logos earlier.

Everyone, with a gossipy and eager-to-verify mentality, carefully compared the facial features of the two people.

Eyebrows, eyes, bridge of the nose, face shape, jawline.

Countless people have repeatedly compared and examined the details.

After the comparison, the same answer popped into the minds of viewers across the internet.

Not at all like it!

There isn't even a trace of blood relation between them!

Not to mention the resemblance between father and son, there isn't even a slight overlap in their temperament.

Many netizens even silently complained in their hearts.

I always thought that Tian Jun was handsome and refined among entrepreneurs, with an outstanding temperament.

As a result, the gap was widened significantly when compared.

Zhang Yifan's facial features are clean and sharp, making him overwhelmingly superior in terms of looks.

Without comparison, there is no harm; the two have completely different temperaments and appearances.

Many viewers' attitudes have already begun to waver.

Is the rumor about an illegitimate child that's been circulating online really false?

But the online trolls still haven't given up on stirring up trouble.

After a brief pause, a new wave of mocking comments flooded the screen.

"That's it? That's it?"

"Just because they don't look alike doesn't mean they're not father and son? That's incredibly naive!"

"Some fathers and sons look completely different. What can you prove just by looking at them?"

"This PR tactic is so perfunctory; even an elementary school student could do a better job of whitewashing this!"

"Is this a joke? Trying to prove their innocence by looking at their face? The funniest PR stunt of the year!"

The live stream was once again flooded with criticism.

At the offline event, some media reporters also directly raised the same questions in public.

Everyone felt that Tian Jun's attempt to refute the rumors by comparing appearances was too frivolous and unconvincing.

Looking at the screen full of doubts and the controversy on site, Tian Jun's lips curled up slightly.

That's exactly what I wanted!

He had long anticipated that comparing appearances alone would not convince everyone.

If the entire internet readily believes these claims, then any subsequent strong measures will be meaningless.

The greater the controversy, the stronger the subsequent reversal will be.

Without further ado, Tian Jun switched the screen display again.

A bloodline test report bearing an official seal and notary office certification pops up in full screen.

The document is in a proper format, with clear seals, complete data, and has 100% legal validity.

The identification conclusion at the bottom is bolded and enlarged for easy reading.

According to authoritative testing and notarization, Tian Jun and Zhang Yifan are not related by blood.

The entire venue fell silent instantly.

The scene, which had just been noisy and questioning, fell completely silent.

The scrolling comments in the live stream briefly paused again.

Taking advantage of the silence in the room, Tian Jun slowly began to explain.

"This kinship test report was completed by me with Mr. Zhang Yifan's consent and by expediting the process with an authoritative notary office."

"The entire process was transparent, the data was accurate, and the results are verifiable, which is enough to prove 100% that all the related rumors circulating online are false!"

With just a few simple words, he directly refuted the rumors that had been circulating online all day.

The undeniable evidence completely shattered all the smears and speculations.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Jun's tone suddenly became serious.

All the composed smiles on his face vanished, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.

"To be honest, I personally find the idea of ​​proving one's innocence extremely objectionable."

But this is the current state of the Internet.

Rumor-mongers can spread rumors at zero cost and without any evidence, and do so at will.

A fabricated rumor can spread across the entire internet and become deeply ingrained.

The person who is being slandered has to spend a lot of time, energy, and resources to prove their innocence.

The rule of "whoever reports, collects evidence" is completely ignored in online public opinion.

If I choose to remain silent today and not release this report...

The stigma surrounding Mr. Zhang Yifan and me will continue to circulate and be vilified.

Countless people will accept rumors as facts and wantonly slander them.

Therefore, I had no choice but to step forward and prove myself.

Tian Jun stared directly into the camera, his gaze sharp and resolute.

"Now, my self-proof is over."

Next, it's the turn of those who spread rumors to pay the price for their words and actions.

Everyone in the room was startled and instantly realized that something was wrong.

The meaning behind these words is far more complex than simply debunking a rumor.

Tian Jun did not give everyone time to react and directly announced the final decision.

"The legal department of DaMi has been keeping records of the entire process in the background since the rumors started to spread."

All accounts and individuals who maliciously spread rumors, deliberately stir up trouble, or smear and defame others.

All netizens who spread false information and incite online bullying.

All relevant screenshots, chat logs, and account information are retained and archived.

We will file a series of lawsuits and will not tolerate anyone.

The court summons will be delivered to you one by one.

My process of proving my innocence is over.

Next, it's your turn to go to court and prove your reasons for spreading rumors.

The moment the words fell.

The press conference was completely silent.

The chat in the live stream, which had just resumed, instantly came to a complete standstill.

Countless netizens who followed suit, spread rumors, and flooded social media with mockery were instantly chilled to the bone.

The online troll accounts that had been stirring up trouble suddenly fell silent, not daring to post another comment.

At this moment, the wind direction completely reversed!
