"Some people are really like the police of the Pacific – meddling in everyone's business!"
"First, the first question. Public figure? Entangled with two women?"
"Bah! Don't try to flatter me! I'm not one of those so-called celebrities who have to maintain a pure image!"
"A man unmarried, women unwed. Since they both like me, and I like them, why should I go against my conscience and abandon one of them!"
"And don't bring up mistresses or cheating to disgust people. I'm not a time management master. Xue'er and Aerou both know about each other's existence and are willing to be my girlfriends together."
"Today, I'm taking this opportunity to announce to the whole world that Morui Xue and Jing Rou are my wings. You can deal with me, but if you dare to harass my family, I guarantee you'll have a terrible end."
"Let this be known beforehand!"
At the end of the article, Jing Mingqiu posted a photo of himself holding Morui Xue and Jing Rou, one in each arm.
After Jing Mingqiu's response was posted, it instantly ignited a huge public opinion storm online.
Completely contrary to what those public intellectuals and traitors imagined, netizens in Long Country were overwhelmingly in support of Jing Mingqiu.
Some directly cursed: "Well said! They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven. Who are you monsters to object!"
"What do you mean entangled! Do you have eyes or ears? Professor Jing has never hidden anything. He announced in his Moments long ago that Morui Xue and Jing Rou are his girlfriends. How can you say he's entangled!"
Some quoted poetry: "Love arises unknown, and deepens immeasurably. Feelings are truly uncontrollable! Polygamy is illegal in our country, but it has never said you can't date two people at the same time."
Some even took the opportunity to confess: "Brother Jing, do you mind having one more wing? Eighteen years old, fair skin, beautiful, long legs, youthful appearance, busty, slender waist."
"Why just one more wing? Professor Jing is so outstanding. If he were an angel, he'd surely be the top twelve-winged seraph. Add me, I want to be Professor Jing's wing too."
"Me too!"
At the same time, in a luxurious villa in the eastern suburbs of the Imperial Capital, a middle-aged man who was already balding, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a black suit, looking like a refined scoundrel.
After Jing Mingqiu responded to the first question, the middle-aged man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a look of 'as expected'. He opened the pre-prepared lengthy post, and as he continued to incite emotions and control the direction of public opinion.
"Ding dong!"
With a crisp notification sound, while controlling the direction of public opinion, Jing Mingqiu's answers to the second and third questions were also released together.
"Moving on to the second question."
"You say those researchers and soldiers are innocent? What about those civilians who were treated as experimental subjects, strapped to operating tables, cut open at will, and forcibly modified? Do they deserve it?"
"And who said I killed everyone in the laboratory! Those who surrendered, who gave up their resistance, they are in the official prisons of A-Qiong Han and are living well."
"As for those who resisted, this is not a game, this is war! They attacked me first and shot at me, should I have stood still, given up resistance, and offered my neck for slaughter!"
"As for the third question, that's even more ridiculous."
"The entire Haiya Military Court was bribed. Appeal? From a thousand-year sentence to ten thousand years, what's the difference? With their power, being in jail is completely like a vacation."
"These scums like Hudson Allen, if I hadn't executed them in court, would you believe they would have served a few months, waited for the storm to pass, and then come out under the guise of medical parole to regain their freedom."
"You don't need to be so coy, making insinuations and implied meanings. Aren't you just saying I'm silencing witnesses?"
"Please use your brain a little. First of all, these guys were brought to court by me. With my abilities, do you think I need to go through so much trouble to kill someone?"
"Mr. Shi Shi, the famous public intellectual who took two million US dollars from the Beautiful Country and planned to immigrate!"
Jing Mingqiu suddenly revealed his true name and stated the transaction amount so accurately that Shi Shi was stunned.
He forgot about attacking Jing Mingqiu online and hurriedly disassembled his computer case, preparing to physically destroy the data hard drive, when a man's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hey, neighbor, are you home? I'm from the neighborhood committee, here to check your water meter?"
"The water meter is outside!" Shi Shi replied instinctively, then broke out in a cold sweat. "No, this is a villa, where would the neighborhood committee come from!"
"There wasn't one before, but now there is. Mr. Shi Shi, you have quite the way with words, you don't even use foul language when you curse."
"What a pity! You chose to be a dog when you could have been a man."
The voice got closer and closer. Shi Shi felt a chill run down his spine. He suddenly turned around and saw Jing Mingqiu standing on the windowsill, arms crossed, looking down at him.
Shi Shi's face changed drastically. He quickly picked up the fruit knife on the table and pointed it at Jing Mingqiu, his voice trembling with feigned bravery.
"Jing, Jing Mingqiu! How did you get in? This is trespassing, this is illegal. Get out immediately, or I won't be polite."
"Oh," Jing Mingqiu glanced at the fruit knife in Shi Shi's hand. "You recognize me, and you're still thinking of resisting with force?"
Shi Shi remembered Jing Mingqiu's string of brilliant achievements. The courage he had just mustered instantly vanished. While making threats, he subtly moved towards the wall, preparing to escape through a secret passage.
"Jing Mingqiu, don't celebrate too early. I have surveillance here. My companions will expose all your evil deeds!"
"At this point, stop with these little tricks."
Jing Mingqiu suddenly exerted force, flashing behind Shi Shi. He gently pressed with his right hand, crushing his entire spine into fragments.
As his spine broke, Shi Shi instantly lost control of his limbs, collapsing to the ground weakly, writhing in pain.
"Don't worry, you're not dead yet," Jing Mingqiu stepped on Shi Shi and walked to the computer desk. He picked up the data hard drive that Shi Shi hadn't managed to destroy. "Your accomplices will soon join you in prison."
...
With the intelligence provided by Shi Shi, those publicly recognized intellectuals and rationalists who had been bought by the Beautiful Country were quickly purged.
Without these opinion shapers, and with the state's intervention, after this public opinion storm, Jing Mingqiu's reputation not only didn't suffer but instead rose to a higher level.
In the White House of the Beautiful Country, Smith Lun reported the news dejectedly to the President of the Beautiful Country, Joseph Biden.
After hearing the news, Joseph Biden was not angry; instead, he smiled: "It's normal. Jing Mingqiu is protected by Long Country, and he has a top hacker escort. I didn't expect those traitorous dogs to succeed."
"Smith, contact the person in charge of the NOW organization in Long Country, Jin Nanlian. Our second phase of the plan can begin!"
