"I'm sorry! I truly know I was wrong! I shouldn't have been blinded by money, shouldn't have chased after Li Miaomiao's so-called 'labor fees,' and, against my conscience, stirred up trouble, guided public opinion, and smeared Xu Yifei and Fu Shan. I hereby make a public apology and solemnly promise that from now on, I will never again act as a paid internet troll for money, and I will never smear anyone again."
"Please, everyone, let me go! I'm begging you!"
The troll, scared out of his wits, hurriedly posted this message on his social media account. Immediately afterward, he deactivated all of the accounts under his name and completely disappeared from the internet.
Trembling all over—wasn't that putting it mildly?
He had already paid a painful price for smearing Xu Yifei and Fu Shan this time. He truly didn't want to go to prison. Ahhh—

Fu Zilan skimmed through the apology-cum-plea posted by the troll at a glance, also noting that the man had instantly deleted all his social media accounts and fled at top speed.
Seeing this, she couldn't help but snort softly.
"Hmph, he got off easy!"
Still, seeing how obediently the man had caved and how sensibly he'd made himself scarce…
Fine. This time, she would let that so-called troll off the hook for now.
After all, his real-life identity had already been dug up by overly enthusiastic netizens.
From now on, not only would he be unable to make money as an internet troll again, but for the rest of his life, he would likely remain socially dead, constantly mocked and criticized.
Thinking about it, that was actually pretty miserable.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
As for Li Miaomiao—there was no need to even mention her.
Her sugar daddies, and their wives, would not let her off.
Her days ahead were bound to be bleak.
Thinking of this, Fu Zilan curved her lips slightly and decided to let the matter rest.
After casually dealing with those two, Fu Zilan glanced back at her computer screen, her delicate brows knitting slightly.
Just now, as she followed the trail step by step, she hadn't only uncovered Li Miaomiao — she had also discovered another mastermind behind the scenes: Li Yi, and Xincheng Entertainment's professional troll team.
So it turned out that Xincheng Entertainment had also been involved in smearing Xu Yifei and Fu Shan.
That made sense.
With just a small-time internet influencer like Li Miaomiao, plus the trolls she hired, how could they possibly have stirred up such a massive storm online?
Clearly, her useless younger brother, Fu Zicong, had a hand in this as well.
Li Yi was Fu Zicong's assistant, and Xincheng Entertainment's professional troll team only ever followed orders from the company's upper management.
Without Fu Zicong's command, how could Li Yi have issued instructions for that entire group of professional trolls to stir up trouble?
Thinking of this good-for-nothing brother made Fu Zilan angry all over again.
Still, Fu Zilan was not someone who ignored the bigger picture.
Though she detested Fu Zicong, for the sake of the Fu family's reputation, she did not make a public fuss, nor did she expose his wrongdoing and let him be torn apart by netizens.
However, she had no intention of letting this go either.
She decided to teach Fu Zicong a lesson — privately.
As for how to teach him…
Fu Zilan rubbed her fair chin thoughtfully. After a brief moment, her eyes suddenly lit up. She raised her hand and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.
Meanwhile, at Xincheng Entertainment's CEO office—
Fu Zicong was fully focused on operating his stocks.
He hadn't had the time to check the online uproar yet.
In his view, it was nothing more than Xu Yifei, that so-called national goddess, being completely ruined, her career destroyed; and Fu Shan, that poor nobody, being thoroughly cyberbullied by the entire internet.
What else could possibly happen?
Li Miaomiao had paid for trolls to charge ahead on the front lines, while Xincheng Entertainment's professional troll team fanned the flames and guided public opinion from behind.
If Xu Yifei and Fu Shan weren't completely crushed by this, that would be strange.
Heh.
Right now, his stocks were far more important. Today, he was going to make a killing.
Watching the stock he had heavily invested in turn red all the way up, its price soaring higher and higher, the corners of Fu Zicong's lips unconsciously lifted into a smug, confident smile.
He'd known it — this stock would rise today.
After all, he had gotten insider information in advance.
Don't ask how he got it.
Tsk. As the son of the richest man, and moreover, Fu Yuheng's only son — the Fu family's sole male heir — how could there not be people eager to curry favor with him?
For those people, trying to ingratiate themselves with the Fu family's eldest young master, the only heir of the Fu clan, by leaking a few insider tips — what was that?
Wasn't it perfectly normal?
Thinking this, Fu Zicong smiled smugly once more.
Seeing that the stock he had heavily invested in was about to reach the peak price mentioned by the insider, Fu Zicong prepared to decisively make his move and dump all his shares.
But at that critical moment, his computer suddenly froze.
Then, the entire screen went black.
"What the hell?"
Fu Zicong was so angry he felt like flipping the desk. He slammed his fist hard onto the broad office table.
After trying to operate the computer a few more times, he realized it had completely crashed and was utterly unusable.
Cursing under his breath, Fu Zicong quickly pulled out his phone, planning to trade stocks on it instead — only to discover that his phone, as if infected by a virus, had also gone black and frozen, impossible to turn on.
"Fuck—"
Fu Zicong cursed loudly, raised his hand, and smashed the million-yuan customized phone straight onto the floor. Then he stood up and strode out toward the assistants' office area outside the CEO's office.
"President Fu, what is—"
Seeing Fu Zicong striding toward them, Li Yi spoke in surprise.
Before he could finish his sentence, Fu Zicong rudely shoved him out of his seat.
"Move!"
With a shout, Fu Zicong snatched Li Yi's laptop and tried to log into the stock market. But the moment he turned it on, that computer also went black and crashed.
"Shit!"
Seeing this, Fu Zicong cursed again and moved on to use other assistants' computers.
Yet without exception, every single one of them blacked out almost simultaneously and became unusable.
Their phones suffered the same fate.
"This is fucking haunted!"
Fu Zicong genuinely felt like cursing the heavens.
What the hell was going on today?
Was he cursed with bad luck?
Damn it — why did every computer or phone he touched immediately crash?
His stocks!
His stocks!
He had to sell them — now!
After frantic efforts, when Fu Zicong finally managed to access a computer that was still functioning and eagerly tried to sell the stock he had heavily invested in, he discovered that the situation had already taken a sharp turn for the worse.
The stock that had been soaring just moments ago had now plummeted.
And at the very moment he logged in, it hit the daily limit down.
Limit down!
Unable to sell?!
"Fuck—!"
Fu Zicong was so furious he felt like smoke was about to come out of his head.
He slammed his fist down on the desk again and again, the loud bang bang bang echoing through the office.
