Chapter 293: 282 Face-Slapping: Thanks to Ying Zijin for Eradicating Evil and Upholding Goodness [1 more update]
Below this microblog post, there was a short video.
Even though the lighting was very dim, one could still make out the person in the frame.
The girl was dressed in simple casual wear, her hair tied back in a ponytail, her skin fair.
It was obvious that the camera was very close to her face.
Even though it was just a side profile, her strikingly aggressive beauty was unmistakable.
Ying Zijin’s appearance was easily recognizable, after all, such level of beauty was rare and without similar comparison.
And during her time of recuperation at the Di Wu Family, she had restored her original appearance.
After all, there weren’t many outsiders there.
Di Wu Feng, Di Wu Hua, and Di Wu Xue were on a mission and hadn’t returned; only Di Wu Yue was present.
When Di Wu Yue first saw her true face, he circled around her for quite a while, trying to ascertain if it was her real face, but later on, he reluctantly got used to it after seeing her more often.
Ying Zijin glanced aside, her expression remained unchanged, quite calm, “It’s me.”
“They say you beat someone till they ended up in the hospital,” Di Wu Yue frowned, “True or false? Is this video edited?”
She finished watching this ten-second clip.

The video showed Ying Zijin holding a wine bottle, smashing it onto the head of a wealthy young man.
There was no mercy shown, as blood flowed from his head, followed by a kick landed by her.
The video stopped with the young man’s screams.
There weren’t a lot of comments beneath this microblog post, but they all shared similar sentiments.
[Just watching the video made my heart race, how could a girl hit someone so ruthlessly? Did she really have to beat them to death?]
[Some students nowadays look shiny on the surface, do well in studies, but who knows how poor their character is behind the scenes.]
[Didn’t you see what the blogger said? The person got beaten to the hospital, and they still haven’t come out yet, could they become vegetative?]
[Such a person should not participate in serious international academic competitions like ISC, right? Still an Academic God? Leading other students astray!]
The video was just a short clip, capturing only Ying Zijin and Feng Hua, and showing only their upper bodies.
The surroundings were not very clear, but one could tell it was a KTV.
“Sister, there are a lot of people cursing you online,” Di Wu Yue grew angrier as she scrolled, “They don’t even understand the situation, why are they swearing?”
“Get used to it,” Ying Zijin took a bite of fish, “These people can only find a sense of presence online.”
Fu Yunshen glanced at it too, his peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, “The surveillance from that day at the KTV?”
“It’s not the KTV’s surveillance,” Ying Zijin shook her head slightly, “I invaded the system and deleted the KTV’s footage.”
Fu Yunshen nodded in acknowledgment.
Even if Ying Zijin hadn’t deleted it, Dynasty KTV wouldn’t dare release such surveillance footage.
Otherwise, they could forget about continuing their business in the capital.
“I remember now,” Ying Zijin reflected for a moment, “At the beginning, they thought I was really going to play along with them, it seemed like someone took out a phone to record it, it must be that.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Yunshen’s eyes turned cold and he smirked, “It seems that the punishment they received was not enough.”
Those young masters like Feng Hua did have such habits.
They liked to record videos while playing, then use those recordings to threaten the girls involved.
The only thing they didn’t expect was that they were just playing as usual, but this time they kicked an iron plate.
Feng Hua was indeed still in the hospital because his injuries were too serious, and after more than half a month, he still couldn’t get out of bed.
But as soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he would be sent straight to the Yi Character Team.
Life worse than death, more terrifying than death itself.
As for the other young masters, they didn’t have as much power as the Feng Family, but they had followed Feng Hua in doing many dirty deeds, and they couldn’t escape jail time.
“Sister, it’s on the trending searches!” Di Wu Yue refreshed the trending list, “It just rocketed to the 20th spot, who bought this?”
Ying Zijin put down her chopsticks, pressed her forehead, and exhaled slowly, “Such a hassle.”
She stood up, preparing to get her laptop.
“Yaoyao, don’t bother,” Fu Yunshen spoke up, “Someone will take care of it. Rest easy for a few more days, once you’ve recovered, we’ll head back to Shanghai City.”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and went outside to make a phone call.
Although the trending search had just gone up and the traffic wasn’t very high yet, it couldn’t withstand the online forces and marketing accounts leading the narrative.
These online bots blended in with real netizens, furiously tagging ISC’s organizing committee
[@ISC Hua Country Training Camp V, come on, someone was expelled for unfair competition already, why isn’t this person kicked out yet?]
[Our Yan Bao is so pitiful, I heard Yan Bao lives in the same apartment complex as this so-called Academic God. Could she have been beaten too?]
Initially, it was Xiu Yan’s fans who started the post, with many comments below sympathizing with Xiu Yan.
“Who is Xiu Yan?” Di Wu Yue scratched her head, “I’ve never heard of her. Is she from the Xiu Family? Is she from the Xiu Family and still messing around in the entertainment circle?”
The Xiu family’s history isn’t as long as the Mu family’s or the Di Wu family’s, but they’ve been a wealthy family for a hundred years.
Such a grand wealthy family would never allow direct lineage family members to enter the entertainment circle.
Direct lineage family members are the ones meticulously cultivated by the family, set to inherit it in the future.
“Go and recite your book,” Ying Zijin didn’t answer, pointing to the bedroom, “It’s been ten days, and you haven’t even finished copying ‘Zhou Yi’.”
She didn’t say the rest.
But the message emanating from her entire being was clear—
You’re nothing but a noob.
“Ah!” Di Wu Yue screamed miserably, “Grandpa is really inhuman. ‘Zhou Yi’ is okay, but he actually asked me to copy the ‘Pushing Back Diagrams’ as well, which includes drawings, and I’m so bad at painting.”
“These are the basic books you need to study,” Ying Zijin nodded slightly, leaning back in her chair, a touch of laziness in her posture, “Just right, I’m free at the moment, so I can watch you.”
In addition to melodramatic TV series, she sometimes quite enjoyed these oppressive tasks.

At this time, across the ocean, on the continent of O.
In a spacious basement.
There were still many instant noodle boxes, with all sorts of flavors from various countries.
A hacker was sitting with his legs crossed in front of the computer, humming a song leisurely.
That is, until his phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, the man nearly fell apart.
But he couldn’t just not answer; the hacker reluctantly hit the receive button, “Big brother, what’s up now?”
He clearly knew that whenever Fu Yunshen called him, he must have some tasks for him to shout about.
“Delete some Weibo posts,” Fu Yunshen said, cutting to the chase with a lazy tone, “And while you’re at it, lower the trending searches. Don’t worry about clarifications, someone will make the post.”
“Weibo?” The hacker almost choked on his own schemes, not even instant noodles could pacify his wounded soul, “Can you find me something to do that fits my status? At least let me invade the IBI headquarters building, yeah?”
Here he was, the boss of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance, doing this?
On the phone was the man’s deep and soft chuckle, “Hmm, thank you for your hard work. I’ve prepared ten boxes of instant noodles for you; they’ve been shipped.”
And with that, the call ended.
It was so merciless.
“Damn it!” The hacker pounded the desk in frustration, grumbling, “I’m really cursed, serve me right for suffering.”
Resigned to his fate, he sat down at another computer and began typing furiously.
In just a few minutes, all the Weibo videos related to Ying Zijin were deleted.
After the hacker finished deleting, he glanced at the account @A Sweet Candy from Yan Bao Family and snorted coldly, typing a program into the computer and hitting enter.
He permanently banned this account, blocking not only the account but also the owner’s ID card and phone number.
Even if the owner complained to Weibo, they would never be able to recover this account, much less register a new one.
After chugging a big gulp of cola, the hacker went back to his original computer and started on his tasks.
**
When the boss of the Anonymous Hackers Alliance made a move, he could directly black out the social networks across the globe.
When Xiu Yan, the fan celebrity, found out her Weibo account was instantly banned, she was so angry her face turned blue.
Not only that, but she also couldn’t register a new account.
She could only ask to borrow a spare account from her fans in the group chat and angrily posted another Weibo.
[@User1536278: Think you’re something special because you’ve got a background? If there was really no issue with your character, why ban my account? Why remove the video I posted? The video has already been verified; it’s not edited. What’s next, is the Academic God going to say that’s not you in the video?]
It has been an hour since the incident, but because the video was deleted in time, only a few hundred thousand netizens saw it.
Most are just onlookers, hardly any different from none at all.
But they must make sure that the fans of “Accept the punishment of the Academic God!” see the true nature of Ying Zijin.
The girl called on other fans to help her boost the visibility.
[Can’t take it anymore. ISC can kick out Xiu Yan that fast; why can’t they do the same with Ying Zijin? Isn’t this a double standard?]
[Heard the victim has become a vegetable. Where’s the beautiful Academic God? Not a single response?]
[As long as Ying Zijin doesn’t leave ISC, I’ll boycott it one day at a time, and I mean it.]
Just as Xiu Yan’s fans were tirelessly trying to set the trend and push the hot search #Ying Zijin, Sent Someone to the Hospital# back to the top,
Another trending topic had already climbed into the top ten.
#Ying Zijin, Fighting Injustice and Upholding Peace#
The first post in this trending search went like this—
[@Youth Mini Newspaper AgencyV: Thank you, Ying Zijin, for fighting injustice and upholding peace, protecting women’s interests and maintaining social harmony. Our agency has specially made a banner of thanks, which will be delivered shortly.]
