"Damn, this is going to cause a huge problem!"
"Just a moment ago, I was lost in my idol's stunning visuals and my child's overwhelming cuteness. The next moment, a startled gasp earned me a slap from my mom."
"Wasn't it just supposed to be a lawyer's letter, a mere formality? Now it's for real?"
"Xiu Huan wouldn't go this far, would he?"
"He probably wouldn't. There are too many media outlets and marketing accounts involved this time. Even if he sues, can he possibly catch them all?"
"But it's already been filed. He must be serious, right?"
"Brothers and sisters, hurry up and check Xiu Huan's studio. The full list of defendants is there."
Instantly, everyone followed suit and found their way to the studio's page.
At this moment, after seeing the long list of defendants posted by the studio, everyone fell silent.
Unlike Jian Xiu Huan's brief summary, the studio's announcement was extremely thorough.
It clearly explained how they identified the participants, how they secured evidence, and how they initiated criminal private prosecution.
The internet was different from reality. Many people let loose online without restraint.
They never cared what they said, nor did they worry about facing consequences for their online words.
After all, in their minds, saying a few words couldn't possibly be illegal, right?
Even if it was illegal, who would actually come to arrest them?
A quick change of their ID and they could continue to roam freely online.
Now, Jian Xiu Huan was telling them that he would pursue this to the end!
The long list of defendants made their scalps tingle.
Especially when several accounts were clearly those of Jian Xiu Huan's fans.
For example:
* Xiu Huan in My Bed
* Xiu Huan's Official Girlfriend
* Woken Up by Xiu Huan's Morning Kiss
And so on.
There weren't just one or two.
Many of them were major fans with thousands of followers, which explained why they had so many reposts and likes.
And this was only for accounts that met the criteria for defamation.
There were countless others who had joined in the insults without reaching the threshold of a crime.
Looking back at Jian Xiu Huan's Weibo post from a few hours ago, they felt a chill run down their spines.
Jian Xiu Huan had said:
"My fans, behave yourselves and don't cause trouble. I don't want to send you to jail."
And now, his words had come true.
Fans were actually going to be sent to jail because of him.
"Is it really necessary?"
Someone asked in the comment section.
They recognized the ID: Xiu Huan's Official Girlfriend.
And below it, Jian Xiu Huan's personal account replied:
"I said, everyone must be responsible for what they say."
"When you used all sorts of vicious words to insult and curse my aunt and Sheng Sheng, did you ever think if it was necessary?"
The crowd fell silent.
Yes, back then, why hadn't they thought about it?
Was it really necessary to harbor such malice towards a single mother and a child of a few years old?
Perhaps angered by the numerous self-righteous comments in the studio's Weibo comment section, Jian Xiu Huan, who had been absent for a while, logged back into Weibo and posted a screenshot of a video.
Under the venue's lights, a young girl, with the microphone almost touching her nose, looked pale, her eyes brimming with tears of grievance.
The accompanying text read:
"This was during the press conference, when Sheng Sheng was being pressed by reporters."
"They asked her if she had dialed the wrong number, because when she called her mom, her mom's phone was off. That's why Sheng Sheng called her uncle to have her mom call her back."
"Do you know why Sheng Sheng's mom's phone was turned off?"
"It's because so many people claiming to be my fans, under the guise of supporting me, were engaging in cyberbullying against my family!"
"A continuous barrage of abusive calls, followed by hundreds of text messages. This led to Sheng Sheng's mom turning off her phone."
"When the call didn't go through, Sheng Sheng thought that even if she was wronged, she didn't want me to be implicated by those cyberbullies!"
"Sheng Sheng was thinking about how to resolve the current predicament so that her mom would no longer be harassed and insulted!"
"She was trembling with fear at the press conference, her face pale, yet she held back her tears!"
"During the most critical moment, she asked me to leave her and face it together with me!"
"And what about you!"
"Those of you who called me an alarmist, who called me ungrateful, who called me heartless!"
"What were you doing?"
"I'm sorry, I'm a bit out of control."
"I'm at the courthouse right now, having just submitted complete evidence. The list released by the studio was entirely at my instruction."
"Those on the list should just stay home for now."
"If you have the opportunity, spend more time with your parents and let them cook you delicious meals."
"Because the case involves cross-region proceedings, the process is a bit complicated. You still have some leisure time."
"The court will summon everyone on the list one by one. This is a friendly reminder: it's best to cooperate, otherwise the consequences could be more severe."
"Also, what I said at the press conference still stands."
"For fans who participated in cyberbullying and are on the list."
"You can leave comments on my Weibo, and I will find time to visit you."
The photo showed the young girl standing alone, her small face deathly pale.
Paired with the descriptive text on Weibo, many people felt their hearts clench.
She was just a little girl under five years old, how could she be so strong, so gentle, and so resilient?
It made everyone feel genuine heartache.
Many who had just watched the full video of the press conference found themselves with red eyes after reading this long post.
In an instant, Jian Sheng gained a large number of mom fans, older sister fans, older brother fans, and dad fans.
The dad fans were the most outrageous, as they genuinely wanted to be Jian Sheng's dad.
"Like stepdad."
It made many people laugh despite themselves.
However, after reading Jian Xiu Huan's subsequent words, their hearts felt both heavy and amused.
"Half a day ago, Xiu Huan said on Weibo that his fans should behave, and he didn't want to send them to jail."
"A few hours ago, Xiu Huan said at the press conference that fans who were found to be doxxing and cyberbullying would be visited at the police station."
"And now, Xiu Huan states that it's time to fulfill his promise."
"Hilarious. I wish he had never kept this promise."
"Sigh, I'd rather my idol was like before, with no scandals or hype outside of filming and variety shows. At least back then, I just looked forward to it."
"But now, I'm afraid my idol will cause some trouble, and I'm afraid he'll send me to jail."
"Pfft hahaha, Xiu fans are so miserable, but why is it so funny!"
The cheerful comments dispelled the oppressive atmosphere brought on by the long Weibo post.
Even though most of them felt sorry for Sheng Bao, they all tacitly avoided bringing up anything that might trigger unpleasant memories for Sheng Bao.
Jian Xiu Huan's mood improved considerably after reading the comments on his Weibo.
At this moment, he was in a very ordinary van.
Facing several burly bodyguards, the paparazzi clutching their cameras trembled.
Jian Xiu Huan's voice was cold, "Who paid you to be water armies and spread slander?"
