Go to bed early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking her up, Qin Hao chuckled and said, “Yeah, okay, Daddy is going to sleep now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carried Qiao’er back to the bedroom, where Han Meng had already tucked herself in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed Qiao’er in the middle and then turned off the lights to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, the uproar online grew even more intense, as many more joined the ranks of those condemning Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many also spread rumors about quality issues with Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, the national Food and Drug Administration’s official website posted an announcement, “In view of the numerous reports from netizens about Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>our department has received them, and this morning an investigative team has been established to inspect the Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant and Xinghui Wine facilities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inspection results will be announced online this afternoon; if the issues are found to be true, we will ban Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there’s any false accusation or rumor-mongering, those responsible will face legal sanctions. We hope the general public will take this as a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the official website released the news, a lot of people saw it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They supported the Food and Drug Administration’s investigation of Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That morning, Qin Hao was at home, strategizing. He pondered how to counterattack, so that he could make the most of what was in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Qin Hao made a phone call to Feng Xiangyi, asking to contact those more than ten charitable organizations in Jianghai City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted a detailed report of his donation distributions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was time for them to come out and testify.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao saw this as an opportunity to boost the reputation of Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a good chance, and if managed well, the impact could be even stronger than satellite TV advertisements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the number of followers on Qin Hao’s social media had already surpassed ten million, all genuine living people from all over the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least several million were actively keeping tabs on him, and he intended to use these people to wage a comeback battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late that morning, he posted a new message:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A life taken at every step, no trace left over thousands of miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having done the deed, I depart with a sweep of my sleeve, burying my identity and name deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, is this idiot planning to commit murder? Won’t the police do something?” Jianghu Renwo Xiao was the first to comment, as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, other than eating, he was glued to his phone, endlessly scrolling through social media, keeping an eye on Qin Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to get back at his idol’s critics, to ridicule Qin Hao until he questioned his own existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His post instantly attracted countless insults, with comments soaring into the hundreds of thousands within minutes, trending towards a million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some social media heavyweights shared his post: “Do you even deserve to use a poem that praises honorable warriors? You’re insulting them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had initially blasted Qin Hao, including some celebrities, all shared it with a dose of irony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Feifei shared Qin Hao’s post, mocking, “The noblest warriors are those who serve the country and its people. You’re desecrating this verse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All you do is exploit the hard-earned money of the common people and act arrogantly.

It was just a slap in the face, hardly a major issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most people were still cursing in the comments: You realize your mistake only now? It’s too late, where was this humility when you were being arrogant and domineering?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many people following Qin Hao, not only relatives and friends but also competitors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Qin Hao’s post, they smiled—it seemed Qin Hao really couldn’t stand the pressure anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of the hundreds of Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant outlets across the nation had started to lose money. In this state, Qin Hao wouldn’t last many days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was exactly what those behind-the-scenes people wanted to see, then they would buy Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine at a low price, completing their entire plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the truth Qin Hao wanted to tell, they saw it simply as an attempt to exonerate himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post had barely gone up when Qin Hao’s phone rang— it was Feng Xiangyi calling: “Mr. Qin, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine,” Qin Hao responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Xiangyi didn’t mention anything about the online situation and gently said, “Then rest well for a couple of days, don’t worry about the company’s affairs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Li Moying called: “Master, are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao replied calmly, “I want to be left alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Ruobing: “I’ve got everything under control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Xu Family, Xu Siyao saw Qin Hao’s post and felt somewhat nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t the center of the media storm but could still sense its terrifying power—how much more so Qin Hao who was right in the middle of it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he really couldn’t hold on any longer?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Qin Hao is okay, right?” Xu Siyao asked her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jiekang had also seen Qin Hao’s post and was speechless—this guy was certainly plotting something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Responding to his daughter’s question, he said, “In trouble? He’s probably the last person who would be in trouble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Qin Hao’s surprise, he even received a call from Xia Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the call connected, Xia Qing hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “Everything will pass, stay strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Hao: “Thank you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Qing sighed and without saying more, hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At two in the afternoon, the Food and Drug Administration released a public announcement across the web.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Investigation Report on Jiangshan Roasted Duck and Xinghui Wine”\u003C\u002Fp>",1386,"2026-06-10T07:14:19.655Z",1,"novelbin.me","1160a0279abe2424623fd227117319c1854ee158c87bead321ff30af78881fd0","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-264","urban-god-level-youth-chapter-263",1372,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-god-level-youth-cover.jpg"]
