Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 2121 - 2184: Who Is Whitewashing

Some questioned this Internet Celebrity, asking him why it was impossible. The Celebrity replied, "You have to use your brain to judge. In today’s modern world where the internet is so advanced, if these things were true, why would they suddenly erupt out of nowhere? I don’t believe it. If that person really wielded power and influence in Ning Province so recklessly, someone would have exposed him a long time ago. Yet, I searched for an hour and couldn’t find any information or even negative news about him. I’m not trying to whitewash him, nor am I being paid to do so. I just think that such a deliberately incited matter must have something fishy about it, and as a normal person, I should do what’s normal."

The Celebrity then posted several screenshots, showing things Li Yifei or the Li family had done, such as donations, elderly care activities, and educational support activities. These were extremely positive and full of positive energy, with impressive donation figures, prompting anyone who saw them to comment on their goodness.

Several other well-known Internet Celebrities also shared the post, quickly drawing comments and shares from their followers. Gradually, some people came to their senses and the comments even showed a slight reversal. However, the opposing side clearly invested more effort; whenever there was a reversal, countless hired online trolls would join in, frantically posting negative comments.

"Is this person hired by us?" Li Yifei asked.

"No!" The women shook their heads, and Li Yifei chuckled, saying, "This is strange, this person isn’t taking money yet is defending us and clearing our names. I really want to meet them."

The power of the internet in this era has become increasingly important, and through this episode, Li Yifei has come to deeply realize that a news story can spread nationwide in a short time, possibly even more influential than the News Broadcast for the new generation since more and more people no longer watch it.

The internet allowed the information to spread wildly in less than a day, appearing on almost everyone’s timelines, and some software specifically pushed the news, fearing that it might go unnoticed, with each headline more alarming than the last.

Fortunately, in this aspect, Ning Xin’er is considered an expert. Today’s events led her to devise many strategies; she even contacted several showbiz friends to ask them to share posts if needed. These celebrities easily have tens of millions of followers, several times more than the rabble-rousing Internet Celebrities. Of course, it’s better not to engage unless necessary, not to create trouble with those people.

The entertainment industry seems glamorous, but actually it has only been relatively better in recent years. Nevertheless, in the eyes of those truly powerful and wealthy, it’s just entertainment. If it weren’t for Ning Xin’er’s formidable family background, she might not have seen Li Yifei again, or maintained her virtuous image.

This revelation even dragged her into it. Ning Xin’er has not yet spoken up because she’s waiting for the Li family’s overall response.

Some Internet Celebrities, like a certain well-known host who claims to be an opinion leader, often express insights that attract a fanbase. Today, they also posted several statuses criticizing Li Yifei, saying that they know someone like him, not just locally, but claiming that even in the Capital City, he’s a tyrant, driving military vehicles and running red lights, hitting people on the street, threatening them with guns, or fighting deadly brawls over a woman in a bar in the Capital City, and then leaving without facing any consequences, asserting he has substantial backing.

This female host, as a woman discussing politics, uses extreme language that easily attracts extreme people, so when she posts, her fans quickly believe it to be true. Li Yifei, upon seeing it, smirked coldly, saying, "If I weren’t the person involved, I might have almost believed it."

"This woman is despicable. Xin’er, no, Mengxin, this person is up to you all. As a host, her words are unbearable, fabricating facts and concocting rumors. What’s the law say about this? If it’s shared over five hundred times, she can be detained. Xiaofei, I have a task for you. Save all these statements from the Internet Celebrities for future lawsuits," Xu Yingying said with fierce determination.

"Okay, I promise not to miss a single one!" Meng Xiaofei immediately nodded, preserving the captured criticisms of the Internet Celebrities as evidence for future legal action.

The Li family doesn’t start trouble, but if someone stirs it up, they are not afraid, and the Li family members are not ones to be bullied.

Especially when they are bullying the man they love the most. Although Li Yifei hasn’t lost his temper yet, that’s because he thinks the time isn’t right.

Just as they were talking, a security guard called. Li Yifei answered, spoke a few words, and his face lit up with a smile. After hanging up, he said, "The security guard found something good, I’m going to get it. I’ve thought of a countermeasure. Xiaoyao, help me register a Twitter account, I want to speak directly."

"Huh?" Chu Xiaoyao was taken aback, looking at the other women, who seemed just as puzzled. But Li Yifei was already striding out, prompting Su Mengxin and the others to think it over before registering an account, leaving the name for Li Yifei to decide later.

A few minutes later, Li Yifei returned, holding a DV camera and a USB drive, smiling as he handed them to Chu Xiaoyao, saying, "There are some videos in here that will explain everything."

"Okay!" Chu Xiaoyao nodded and asked Li Yifei what kind of username he wanted while uploading the videos. Li Yifei thought for a moment and said, "Just use my real name if it’s available."

"Uh, it’s taken. Try another one," Chu Xiaoyao said after checking.

"Then how about... Golden Eagle, no, change it..." Naming proved difficult for them, and Li Yifei explained his plan: "Given the importance of the internet now, we can no longer remain low-key. Since this is already nationwide, why not leverage it to increase our influence, which can also advertise our family’s businesses? Besides, if we want to fight back positively, this is a good strategy."

"Indeed, if managed well, husband, you could become a source of positive energy, spreading positivity that aligns with national policies. Let’s quickly organize some things for husband to post. Xin’er, contact those industry friends, even if we must pay, help husband boost his message."

"Is that okay?" Ning Xin’er hesitated, saying, "It’s not very low-profile. What if..."

"I think it’s worth a try, although husband might feel uncomfortable going out afterward, because people will recognize him everywhere."

"Then don’t post photos. Well, it doesn’t matter if everyone knows him, he will have less chance to act up outside. Heh heh," Song Lianyao said.

Except for Na Yi, almost everyone was there in the house. Well, actually, Ye Yunzhu and Lin Qiong weren’t present yet, but they came in together as soon as they were mentioned.

Lin Qiong looked upset, while Ye Yunzhu seemed okay, partly due to their personalities—one is hot-tempered, the other is slow. They handled the same situation differently.

Listening to Li Yifei’s plan, Lin Qiong nodded in agreement. Ye Yunzhu, like Ning Xin’er, expressed some concern, asking, "Nothing else worries me, but how do you explain having so many wives?"

"No explanation needed. This Twitter account is less my husband’s and more a platform for everyone. It’s a place for the Li family to speak. Hence, we should cultivate it well. I even foresee that if managed appropriately, it will bring unexpected joy to us, putting us ahead of many traditional families. So, it’s worth a try," Su Mengxin said.

Ye Yunzhu nodded, saying, "Alright, if this official position can’t be maintained, I’ll just travel around and enjoy life. Anyway, the constant hard work isn’t rewarding; I haven’t taken a dime of my monthly salary, donating it all."

"I’ve donated too, not just my salary but a significant amount of my living expenses as well!" Lin Qiong followed, mentioning living expenses. The women in the house could basically spend as much as they wanted. If they didn’t have enough, a simple mention would provide ample funds.

However, the women didn’t have many places to spend money, aside from donations, with little other big expenses.

The women finally decided to try Li Yifei’s approach, considering the potential if truly successful, thus it’s a new channel.

Controlling the narrative online is the new challenge for the Li family.

And the videos from Li Yifei provided a strong boost to everyone, as the footage wasn’t of anything else but his actions in recent days. He not only led rescue efforts but also jumped into icy floodwaters alone in such cold weather, braving unimaginable dangers to save one person after another, afterwards still leading the rescue efforts. The videos are long, spread across different clips.

The cameraman was from a rescue team under the Li family’s company, who regularly shot videos. This time, he brought his equipment intending to document some footage for a recap video but ended up capturing Li Yifei’s heroic acts. Upon returning, he decided to report it, transforming the videos into internal corporate promotional footage. With such a CEO, the entire staff feels proud and motivated.

Corporate culture is not to be underestimated, so this employee unintentionally provided a significant gain for the beleaguered Li family.

"This person deserves a reward. Haha, once these videos are out, let’s see how those people can fabricate lies!" Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed while editing the videos, gritting her teeth.

The women of the Li family felt relieved watching the videos, believing they had chosen the right man. Li Yifei’s character was evident through these deeds.
