Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

The next morning, Liu Yumeng, as usual, drove her BMW Mini to the Town for work.

But just as she left the Aoyuan Villa District, at the intersection ahead, a moment of inattention led to a scrape with a motorcycle.

Liu Yumeng got out of the car and found her BMW Mini was fine, while the other party's motorcycle had fallen to the ground.

Liu Yumeng really wanted to curse the other party for being blind, how could they crash into her!

But thinking of what her dad had told her last night — that it's rare to be wisely confused, and suffering a loss is a blessing — she instantly reined in her anger and suppressed her temper.

She hurried over to ask:

"Are you okay? Should we call the Traffic Police?"

The other party, however, said:

"It's fine, it's fine. I wasn't paying attention. Didn't damage your car, did I?"

Liu Yumeng then said:

"My car's fine, just worried you might be hurt."

The other party said very generously:

"I'm really fine. You go on. I don't blame you. Your car's fine, I'm fine. Let's not waste everyone's time. After all, it's early morning, still have to go to work!"

Hearing this, Liu Yumeng also felt it was reasonable.

So she just left like that.

But what she never could have expected was that the man riding the motorcycle had actually come with premeditation.

On his person, he carried a miniature camera, recording the entire process.

Liu Yumeng arrived at the Town and went to work as usual.

She was in a great mood and took the initiative to go Down to the Countryside with Wang Xiaohua to Visit Poor Households.

But by the Afternoon, a piece of very bad news suddenly reached her ears from her father's side!

"Liu Yumeng, how can you be so stupid?"

Liu Xinwen called, his voice trembling with rage.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Liu Yumeng was still in a fog, completely unaware of what had happened!

"Let me ask you, did you hit someone's motorcycle this morning?"

Liu Xinwen was angered to death.

Yesterday he had still lectured Liu Yumeng on how to conduct herself, never imagining that this morning Liu Yumeng would pull a huge stunt.

The main point is that right now is a Key Node — in Two Days the Discipline Inspection Commission will come to the County for inspection!

With this kind of thing happening now, it will absolutely be seized upon by ill-intentioned people to make a fuss!

"It was just a minor scrape. My car's fine, the other person's fine, and then we both went to work. What's the problem?"

Liu Yumeng still didn't think there was any problem.

Because from her perspective, this really was a triviality that couldn't be more trivial!

And since neither side held a grudge, there shouldn't be any follow-up.

However, Liu Xinwen scolded her:

"You're too stupid! Do you know that by just leaving like that, the other party posted you online, accusing you of hit-and-run!"

"What?!" Liu Yumeng was instantly stunned. "How can this count as hit-and-run? Clearly the motorcycle Driver and I both agreed to let it go!"

Liu Xinwen huffed with anger, saying in a deep voice:

"Whether you're hit-and-run doesn't matter at all. What matters is that the other party posted this online, causing an uproar, saying something about a County Town BMW woman bullying a motorcycle-riding ordinary commoner! And then your information was exposed online by the so-called 'omniscient netizens,' including the matter of your irregular transfer!"

Liu Yumeng was directly dumbfounded:

"No way, it's only been one day, and it's already fermented to this extent?"

Liu Xinwen gritted his teeth, his face dark and ferocious:

"This is obviously someone pulling strings behind the scenes! To muddy the water before the Discipline Inspection Commission comes to inspect the County Town, so the Commission's attention falls on our Liu Family!"

"Who's the string-puller behind this?" Liu Yumeng's head was buzzing.

"Who else could it be? It's definitely Xiao Xueqing!" Liu Xinwen stated with absolute certainty.

Besides Xiao Xueqing, he couldn't think of a second person who would set up his daughter like this.

"Dad, what do we do now?"

Liu Yumeng was also a bit panicked.

As a new-era woman, she naturally knew the power of Internet Public Opinion.

With the outbreak of public opinion, the truth actually no longer matters.

Her not-so-clean affairs being dug up will absolutely attract countless netizens' attention, and they'll hound Liu Yumeng relentlessly!

Because Internet Public Opinion is like this — the truth is often not the most important thing; highly inflammatory emotional mobilization is what's most important.

So if public opinion is allowed to develop, the focus online will absolutely shift from that traffic accident onto Liu Yumeng, and even onto the Liu Family.

"The most important thing right now is to quickly calm this down!"

"How to calm it?" Liu Yumeng had no clue, even suggesting a bad move. "Should I go online to clarify?"

Liu Xinwen immediately rejected it:

"You must not! That would only pour oil on the fire!"

Liu Xinwen was at her wits' end, pacing back and forth; after a long while, she finally spoke:

"I will contact the motorcycle driver as soon as possible on my end, and additionally I will use the Liu Family's influence to suppress public opinion!"

Liu Yumeng felt guilt in her heart:

"Dad, then what about me? What can I do?"

At this key node, having stirred up such an incident, to tell the truth, besides feeling stifled, Liu Yumeng also felt very guilty.

Had she known earlier, she would not have left without permission in the morning; as long as she waited for the traffic police to come over and determine responsibility, she would not have fallen into this pit.

"You don't need to do anything, leave it to me!"

Liu Xinwen spoke thus.

But Liu Yumeng still went and did it.

She called her cousin Liu Lianqiang, had him look up the motorcycle driver's information based on the motorcycle's license plate number, and obtained the motorcycle driver's contact information.

Then she called:

"Mr. Zhao, I'm the driver from this morning; you edited the video like that and posted it online, isn't that a bit excessive?"

Mr. Zhao on the other end of the phone played dumb:

"How am I excessive? I don't even know what you're talking about?"

Liu Yumeng asked:

"That video online, you posted it, right?"

Mr. Zhao said:

"I don't know what video you're talking about."

Liu Yumeng said coldly:

"This matter has caused such a huge influence; do you think you can bear the consequences?"

Mr. Zhao asked:

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Liu Yumeng said:

"I hope you can clarify online, and publicly apologize."

Liu Yumeng thought the other party would refuse to admit it even if beaten to death.

Unexpectedly, the other party agreed immediately:

"Alright, I'll do as you say, just don't come mess with me; I'm an ordinary common person, I can't afford to offend you!"

Liu Yumeng was stunned, feeling something was off.

But she didn't say much more.

After all, the other party had agreed to publicly clarify and apologize; what more could she say?

As a result, she waited until the next day.

Online, another video ignited public opinion again!

That video was the recording of Liu Yumeng calling Mr. Zhao, but this recording had been edited, and the final presented effect made it look like Liu Yumeng was threatening and intimidating Mr. Zhao.

"Mr. Zhao, aren't you being a bit excessive? That video online, you posted it, right? This matter has caused such a huge influence; do you think you can bear the consequences?"

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"I hope you publicly apologize!"

"Alright, I'll do as you say, just don't come mess with me; I'm an ordinary common person, I can't afford to offend you!"

While this recording once again ignited public opinion, Mr. Zhao posted another video:

"Starting today, I will publicly apologize to Miss Liu online for seven consecutive days! Miss Liu, I shouldn't have provoked you, I admit I was wrong, I've also chickened out; you're magnanimous, please spare this little commoner; I have elderly parents and young children, please let me off; I bow to you, sorry! Today is the first day of apology; tomorrow I will continue to apologize to you!"

Once this apology video was released, it directly caused a huge uproar online!

Countless netizens who didn't know the truth were furious beyond measure! United in hatred! They all pointed their spearheads at Liu Yumeng!

The first two videos only had tens of thousands of likes, belonging to a small-scale viral spread.

But this video, within a single day, across the entire net, garnered nearly a million likes! Hundreds of millions of topic discussion volume!

And simultaneously, discussions about "County Brahmins" began to appear online.

Even countless big Vs came to freeload traffic, expressing their views on "County Brahmins".

This time not only Liu Yumeng was dumbfounded.

Even Liu Xinwen was completely dumbfounded!
