Two days later.

The posts on the Internet suddenly became very negative.

Master Lin was infected with AIDS during his research. It seems like all hope is lost.

A news article appeared from a coastal news publication company.

The netizens were stunned when they saw it.

D*mn, that cant be. Is it true?

F*ck, this must be false. How can Master Lin be infected? Go eat sh*t.

This is true. Its the latest news. Everyone, dont wait anymore. Master Lin was infected. Im afraid we will not get to eat scallion pancakes anymore.

This publication company is spouting rubbish. I have been waiting outside the academy and I did not hear this at all. You must be asking for it!

Then, a lot of people expressed their views on this. Many people believed in what the news article reported.

They were simply oblivious to the sly methods used by the media to generate hype and uncertainty. In the end, they were the ones being cheated.

Furthermore, the netizens started to send their well-wishes for Master Lin.

The shop owners of Cloud Street were stunned when they saw the news.

Elder Liang was furious. This publication company must be sick. How can they say that about Master Lin?

Elder Chen added, Its too much. Little Boss is trying to save the world and someone is trying to use him to create fake news. He must be heartless.

Sister Hong said, These people are heartless. They would do anything to increase their viewership. Its not professional at all.

The reporters of Shanghai were agitated after reading that.

D*mn, this is literally bullsh*t. Theyre tarnishing our reputation as reporters.

Yeah, we have to protest against it. They are maligning Master Lin. They should know how impactful it would be if Master Lin were to succeed.

I cant take it anymore. Whats the name of this company? Im going to start a war.

Lets go and protest against them.

Then, the reporters of Shanghai gathered together and expressed their views on the article. They did not want people to damage the reputation of their beloved Master Lin.

Meanwhile, in a certain office located in a coastal city.

HAHAHAHA!

The entire office laughed after seeing what was happening online. They felt that they had succeeded in making an impact on the netizens.

Everyone was making reports about whether Master Lin would succeed, but they thought about it in a different way. They wanted to gain as much viewership as possible.

Furthermore, they wrote the article in a very convincing manner.

Of course, it only managed to convince those that were not well-informed.

For example, they used a picture of Master Lin embracing Yuan Yuan. Then, they stated that nobody would dare to embrace someone who had AIDS. Hence, the only possibility was that Master Lin had AIDS too.

Also, they said that Master Lin had AIDS because he was willing to eradicate it fearlessly.

Those netizens who were not well-informed believed the news article. After all, the news article was well written.

Then, a group of reporters entered the room anxiously.

Director, its not looking good. The reporters in Shanghai are trying to get us to write a public apology, said a reporter. They really did not expect this at all. They were not even talking about the Shanghai reporters. Why did they do that?

The Director continued smoking and did not seem like he was affected by it at all. He just sat back in his chair and smiled.

Its okay. Just let them be. Dont you think were doing great with this article?

Hows the public viewership numbers?

The reporters had been taking note of those numbers. Director, the news article was re-posted a lot since we published it. Its viewed by more than 100,000 people and its still increasing. We might even hit 500,000 soon.

The Director smiled and lightly tapped his cigarette. Thats a little too low. I think we will hit at least 500,000 people and possibly even a million people.

The reporter was stunned after hearing that. Director, is that possible?

He could not imagine how crazy it would be for them to hit a million views.

However, he was still worried. Director, do you think it will cause any trouble?

The Director waved his hand. Nope, dont worry. Its just our deduction, and its not like we confirmed anything. We clearly stated that it was just a possibility.

The reporters forehead was filled with sweat. He did not expect the Director to say that. The statement about it being a possibility was written in a small font and people would not have noticed it if they did not look closely.

However, it was the first time that he had received a high viewership rate like this. In the past, they never achieved anything like this before.

Suddenly!

There was a commotion outside.

Director, somethings wrong. Someones looking for you.

The Director was stunned after hearing that. He wondered who it was. When he saw the person that came, his heart skipped a beat.

Why did the police come?

The policeman was holding a piece of paper which was a printed copy of the article that was published. Was this written by you?

The Director felt that something was wrong. He hesitated for a moment and wanted to say that he did not write that.

Its okay, I dont have to ask. According to sources, you wrote this. Just follow us to the police station. We are charging you for slander and causing a negative impact online.

As a reporter, how could you permit false articles like this to be written? Dont you know the impact of this?

The reporters face turned pale after hearing that. He did not expect his Director to be taken away just like that.
