Spreading rumors was still in a gray area in 2008.

I sighed, unsure whether to praise these two guys for their unique thinking or to think they had something wrong with their heads.

Call them foolish, they knew how to manipulate public opinion on the internet.

Call them smart, they didn't even know that spreading rumors online is illegal!

I glanced at the webpage content, which basically portrayed me, a college student, going out to hotels with people.

How much I charged each time, how many guys I hooked up with at school, and so on.

The content was unoriginal, with only a pitiful few thousand views.

I immediately posted a clarification video, stating that things were not as portrayed.

But my ambiguous statement only made netizens more curious about the truth of the matter.

Their post, with its meager views, quickly became popular.

Yan Qiang, that blockhead, looked at the post and got agitated:

"I'll go beat him up! Let them spread rumors!"

I directly stopped Yan Qiang:

"Can't you use your brain a bit?"

"I went to great lengths to post the video, just to make them popular!"

Yan Qiang:

"???"

I smiled faintly:

"With their few thousand views, even if I report them, it won't be a big deal."

"After all, it's not widely spread."

"But now, with the post's sudden rise in popularity, crossing the hundred thousand mark, it's becoming a big deal."

"Look at the current hype, wait a couple of days, I'll stoke the fire again, probably reaching over a million."

"By then, that pair of scoundrels will be in big trouble!"

Yan Qiang was shocked:

"Damn, you're so ruthless!"

"I'll have to think about this, if they come after you, won't you be bullied by them!"

I gave him a look:

"Get lost! I'm not interested in you."

Yan Qiang:

"Alright! I like your spirit, very bold!"

I couldn't be bothered with him and continued to monitor the situation of the rumor spreading.

The school also faced pressure due to the online posts.

The teachers from the disciplinary office personally talked to me:

"Student Yang Lili, do you need to explain about the online comments?"

I shrugged:

"Explain what? There's nothing to explain."

Teacher:

"??? You're just going to accept it like this?"

Me:

"Accept what? We can just directly sue those spreading rumors, right?"

The teacher nodded in satisfaction:

"Alright, that's a good approach, but don't involve the school. Public opinion pressure is also a headache for us."

I nodded.

I had also set the time for the final counterattack.

It would be during the thesis defense when I would have them escorted out of the school straight to the police station.

That's when life would be exciting enough.

I also prepared for the thesis defense content with peace of mind.

Of course, after the defense, I would clearly tell Yan Qiang that we could try to start.

This fool Yan Qiang always thought I didn't know what he was up to.

Whether it was him late at night in the Zang Ai Family group asking others to like our video.

Or personally replying to those defamatory comments one by one, I saw it all.

Yan Qiang always acted like he didn't care about anything, but his heart was burning.

In my past life, it wasn't until middle age that I understood that men born under the sign of Leo were like this, cold on the outside but passionate inside.

However, when this guy appeared in front of me, discussing how to confess, I almost wanted to strangle him!

I gave him a look:

"You dare to confess to me and still ask me how to arrange it?"

"Why not just package yourself in a gift box and deliver yourself to my room?"

"Should the box also have 'Open for Joy' written on it?"
