Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Clearing Up

Their gazes landed on Xie Yingying’s phone.

In the video, the door to the top floor was pushed open and Liu Zhao came out. Her arms were waving and she seemed abnormal. It was as though something invisible was pulling her, or she had seen something terrifying. She was struggling hard.

Just like that, she slowly moved from the door to the side of the staircase. She raised her head, and it was as though someone was strangling her neck. Immediately, half of her body was suspended in the air. Her hands gripped the edge tightly and she shouted something, but the surveillance cameras could not hear it. It was silent.

After that, she fell forward!

From the beginning to the end, she was the only one on the top floor. However, she had been talking to some other party and shouting as though she was frightened.

After the video was played, the entire dormitory fell silent. Everyone felt a chill run down their spine as though a cold wind had blown in…

Li Zixia and Xie Yingying gulped.

Wang Wei covered her mouth as her legs trembled.

Xue Xi stared at the screen and at the three of them. This was also the reaction she had when she first saw this video. It was really too strange.

She then looked at her phone.

She had just logged in to a sub-account and sent out that Weibo post. There were reasons and evidence on it, and it was about something that happened five years ago.

Five years ago, Liu Zhao was still a junior high school student. At that time, she and her deskmate met a hooligan on the way home. That hooligan liked her deskmate and forcefully abused her. Her deskmate asked her to go back and call for help.

However, that hooligan said that if she dared to call for help, she would suffer a fate worse than death.

Everyone knew what a small place was like. Liu Zhao was afraid of retribution and chose to turn a blind eye to it. Hence, her deskmate was ruined.

Small matters could be spread everywhere. Because her deskmate was agitated, her mind started to become abnormal. After Liu Zhao was promoted to high school, her deskmate eventually chose to jump off a building and die.

This matter was known to almost everyone in their family.

Ever since Xue Xi hacked into the school’s system and saw Liu Zhao’s death, she’d felt that Liu Zhao’s death was unusual.

Hence, after investigating Liu Zhao, she discovered this matter.

Last time, when someone had set the three up for an Internet bashing, she’d wanted to send this message. Liu Zhao was already infamous in her hometown. As long as it was sent out, everyone would know that it was not the three of them who’d ostracized Liu Zhao but that Liu Zhao was too bad and did not get along with others.

However, because of Ms. Ye’s timely comfort and the clarification from the school, Xue Xi eventually gave up.

After all, the dead were gone. No matter how abominable Liu Zhao was, she was already dead. There was no need to release these things again. If it were not for the fact that she had been exposed by the net, she would definitely not have mentioned Liu Zhao again!

With the video and Xue Xi’s post, the public opinion instantly reversed the moment the two Weibo posts were released.

Although they still needed time to ferment, things were already clear.

At this moment, the Li family’s company also played a recording.

Mr. Li: “My daughter is definitely not someone who will use violence on your daughter. She is also a victim of this matter. I believe that university students are already sensible at that age. Even if there are any conflicts between people in the same dormitory, they will not go this far. I hope that you can stop those attacks on the Internet.”

Liu Zhao’s mother said, “No, my daughter can’t die for nothing! I raised her up and she didn’t earn a single cent. Why should she die just like that? Your family is huge. If you don’t give me an explanation, this matter won’t end!”

Mr. Li sighed. “You want money, right? Alright, I’ll give you 500,000 yuan. I hope you won’t pursue this matter. However, I have to make it clear that this 500,000 yuan is not a compensation fee, but as a father, I understand your grievances as a mother and am giving you money.”

Liu Zhao’s mother: “Okay. As long as you give money, everything is negotiable.”

After the Li family released this recording, the caption read: “My company will take revenge for the loss of reputation over the recordings. Also, my daughter has been kind since she was young and has been educated to treat this world well. I also hope that everyone will treat them well.”

After these Weibo posts were uploaded, everyone’s comments started to change.

When the three of them were first exposed on the internet, the students of Huaxia University who knew about it all left comments to speak up for them.

However, how could the tens of thousands of people in the school compare to the tens of millions of people online?

Hence, their thread sank the moment it was posted. At this moment, someone’s thread was finally found:

@I’m at Huaxia University: “I’m at Huaxia University. I personally witnessed the whole thing and have the most right to speak. I, Liu, have a problem and it has nothing to do with the other three people in my school. I hope that everyone will not be blinded by one-sided things. The internet is full of shameless people. If you don’t know the full story, then don’t comment.”
