I Started As A Novel Villain

Chapter 156: Jade Toad

After Chen Luo heard Ye Fei's remarks, he immediately turned on his phone and accessed Weibo to watch the news on the platform.

Then, he faintly noticed something was wrong.

What exactly is Ye Fei thinking about?

After opening Weibo, Chen Luo quickly browsed and began to try to find what exactly Ye Fei meant by a 'malicious' rumor.

Immediately afterwards, he discovered a hot search about himself on Weibo!

He saw that the hot news search terms were likewise basic and harsh. The keywords were "Chen Luo Incident."

Chen Luo quickly felt a chilling frost growing in his heart when he saw this and that the search was hot and grabbing recognition.

His name was definitely tied to the poison capsule event, which strengthened Chen Luo's sense of inexplicability.

He clicked the link on the popular search list straight away, and then he saw a news report.

This news report video has received over one million views, and the number of comments and reposts are also pretty high.

It was a top ten video in all of Yanjing, and the news report's substance is extremely straightforward, it roughly as follows:

"Recently, the Qizheng Group's poison capsule incident has sparked considerable controversy, as the Qizheng Group, a first-line pharmaceutical business, is in charge of providing the majority of medicine to the general people, and has manufactured such poison pills!."

"It's difficult to comprehend how such a grave and unbearable mistake could have occurred. But what's intriguing is that a reporter meticulously found that the Qizheng Group had a secret."

"A few days ago, there was a special personnel appointment in the Qizheng Group; they made a young man called Chen Luo the vice president, and it was also stated that Chen Luo is the deputy general manager of the Qizheng Group's pharmaceutical production."

Chen Luo's face became pale when he saw this, and he realized what Ye Fei was up to.

Although it is not explicitly mentioned in the video, it is obviously indicated in the remarks that the poison capsule event was tied to Chen Luo.

Duan Qizheng hired Chen Luo as Vice President, and he was in charge of the Qizheng Group's pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Therefore, on the surface, there is nothing wrong with this report.

But this reporter is very clever, he directly linked Chen Luo to the poison capsule incident.

In which that would make Chen Luo the primary perpetrator of the incident!

Even after reading it, Chen Luo had to agree that this news broadcast was quite clever in that it immediately informed everyone that the offender and culprit was him!

When something goes wrong, there must always be a "sacrificial sheep" so that they can blame it all on one person.

Prior to yesterday, Duan Qizheng was the primary suspect in the event.

After all, he is the CEO of the firm, and he was the first to apologize in the press conference.

However, when this information was released, it quickly thrust Chen Luo to the forefront and aimed all spearheads at him!

Everyone agreed that Chen Luo, who was in charge of drug production, should shoulder the most of the blame.

Furthermore, the news report stated that Chen Luo's job as vice president was extremely challenging, yet as soon as he joined the company, he was parachuted into the post of vice president of the Qizheng Group.

This aroused the suspicion of the people.

What exactly is going on?

Netizens and the masses who sat by the side munching melon seeds couldn't sit still and wrote remarks bashing Chen Luo on different Weibo News.

Furthermore, the strength of Internet trolls is frightening, and the battle power of numerous internet keyboard warriors is indeed beyond regular people's reach.

Especially because Ye Fei had made a good reputation on the internet.

On Weibo, there were several individuals chastising Chen Luo. They insulted and attacked him in every way possible, disrespecting his legacy and family and nearly causing Chen Luo to erupt in wrath.

Various comments were made, for instance, such as these-

{It is because of people like Chen Luo that this poison capsule incident occurred. Shouldn't he be responsible for it?}

{I agree, this Chen Luo likes to fight others in the street, but it was funny seeing him getting beat up despite acting so cocky and arrogant!}

{This kind of person shouldn't live in this world. I hope the relevant departments will investigate and deal with it. I want to report this guy. Is there anyone who also wants to do the same?!}

The intensity of Internet keyboard warriors is rather frightening, and the massively hostile remarks spread via numerous Weibo posts.

When Chen Luo witnessed such remarks, his veins tightened and an angry look came on his face, his eyes radiating rage, as he shouted, "Ye Fei, you are using these news reports to frame and slander me!!!!"

Hahaha, the current Chen Luo is the one Ye Fei is most familiar with.

Ye Fei clearly guided the fishing reel, and directed the poison capsule incident to him!

The most significant point is that Chen Luo was unable to retaliate, because he couldn't argue with thousands of people!

When Ye Fei heard his words, he faintly grinned and replied, "Chen Luo, you're framing me." What do these news stories have to do with me? I gently cautioned you not to believe Internet rumors. I didn't expect you to bite the hand that fed you and be unable to distinguish between good and poor advice."

Ye Fei certainly wouldn't admit that he did this.

The most clever part of this article is how it handled the attribution of blame to another person, as the news report did not explicitly state that Chen Luo is the main person responsible for the poison capsule incident, but instead, using all kinds of data and hints throughout the article, everyone subconsciously believes it is Chen Luo's fault!

In addition, all the news and reports coming out are all going to be detrimental to Chen Luo

Slowly but gradually, he will be known throughout the internet, and be labeled untrustworthy and a horrible person.

Even though Chen Luo knew Ye Fei's intentions, he couldn't do anything to fix it.

Especially now that the news is spreading extremely quickly, Ye Fei has masterely performed his plan to such a high degree.

Chen Luo's only option is to remain utterly still!

Although Chen Luo and Ye Fei are not to blame for the situation, it was caused by a fault with the Qizheng Group's suppliers.

But, so what?

The only thing Chen Luo can do now is try his hardest to clarify the facts and restore the incident's truth.

But the question is, how many people will believe him?

Not to mention the preconceived ideas of the family, the more important thing is that the matter itself is not glorious, no matter how Chen Luo defends it, the effect will not be good.

"Ye Fei!!!" Chen Luo clenched his teeth and realized he had been duped again by him, and his rage erupted!

He couldn't wait to crush Ye Fei to smithereens!

Chen Luo couldn't take his rage any longer and slammed his left arm in rage.

His left arm was wounded, but it has recovered somewhat and he can still utilize force. He was holding a nicely packed emerald toad in his left palm at the moment.

Even though Chen Luo was hurt, the strength of his left arm was not compromised. The emerald toad was quickly fractured and cracked under his powerful firm palm.

He meticulously prepared a gift to the old man of the Wei family, and now, the gift was broken up in pieces because of his anger!
