    Chapter 84

    [Six years ago, I initiated a public donation drive due to my father’s worsening esophageal cancer. The donation lasted for 43 days, with a total of 14,673 donors, totaling X amount, intended for three surgical treatments, in-hospital chemotherapy, and medication.]

    [My father’s condition continued to deteriorate after the second surgery. He didn’t make it to the third surgery and passed away on July 3rd of that year, totaling X amount as of July 3rd.]

    [After my father’s funeral, I requested the remaining funds from my uncle. The content of the communication is attached in the picture. That month, I returned home to discuss the disposal of the remaining donations with my uncle, but no agreement was reached. Unable to explain the whereabouts of the remaining funds and facing online accusations of fraud and scam donations, I ultimately chose to refund the entire donation amount.]

    [I dropped out of school on November 4th of that year and started working in a logistics company for sorting on the same month. On December 10th of the following month, I received my November salary of 3400 yuan and refunded the first batch of donations on December 10th, to 17 people, totaling amount.]

    [On January 10th of the following year, I received two salaries, totaling 6320 yuan, and refunded the second batch of donations on January 10th, to 42 people, totaling 3502 yuan.]

    […]

    [I was discovered by a talent scout in June of the following year. Believing that being a celebrity could earn money faster in order to pay back the donations as soon as possible, I chose to sign a contract. At this time, my work shifted to online orders for income. Because online orders had variable income, between June and April of the following year, amount, totaling refunds to 1031 people.]

    [In April of the following year, I still hadn’t participated in any TV dramas, movies, or variety shows, so the company chose to suspend my transition temporarily. Forced by livelihood, I chose to become a part-time delivery driver on April 12th of that year and also submitted resumes online for extra roles.]

    […]

    Jiang Yifeng didn’t write about the hardships he encountered in his life, nor did he mention that he was pointed at and insulted and ostracized at school, until his emotions collapsed, vowing to drop out of school to earn money, pay back the money, and make them apologize.

    He also didn’t mention being so poor before getting paid that he didn’t eat, suffering from low blood sugar.

    All the descriptions corresponded to the picture evidence.

    The content of each piece of evidence was very clear – each detailed record of borrowing and repaying money corresponded, and even the interest calculation method at the time of repayment was marked in black pen next to it.

    Different years, different months, one by one, classified like explaining to a child.

    A large amount of data was listed in various ways, the account’s payment flow every month, and most of the screenshots were stamped with an official unit’s notarization watermark to prove the validity of the screenshot.

    One by one.

    Even if more people came, it would take days to sort it out. If it wasn’t Jiang Yifeng himself, it would be even more difficult to explain the cause and effect clearly.

    Jiang Yifeng officially notarized all the content that didn’t involve sensitive information, and some of the statements were stamped with the bank’s seal.

    Jiang Yifeng used official stamps to guarantee his various proofs, and each one was clearly listed.

    He even made public the web page link after his upload and certification, and clicking on it revealed clear content of each photo.

    Subsequently, he posted another blog post, which were two network court’s acceptance letters for lawsuits.

    One was suing the marketing account and an anonymous person who initially accused him of fraud, and the other was suing Jiang Kailu and that interviewing newspaper.

    [All the released screenshots and original documents have been submitted to the court as evidence, and the authenticity of the documents will be verified again by the court during the trial.]

    Jiang Yifeng’s reply was very short.

    He didn’t look at their replies again, but closed his phone and quietly waited for the replies to ferment.

    Luo Qi looked at Jiang Yifeng in confusion, and gently asked with a puzzled look: “Why don’t we talk about the journey of your heart?”

    “Your external conditions are so good, if you come forward to talk about your journey of the heart, you can quickly gain sympathy. Moreover, that’s not even made up.”

    Jiang Yifeng hugged his legs and curled up in the chair, he looked a bit pitiful, but his eyes were exceptionally calm.

    “Brother Luo, people’s hearts are biased, people have preferences.”

    He looked directly at Luo Qi and smiled: “If I bought Chen Ruiyang a cup of milk tea, but Chen Ruiyang didn’t return the favor, what would you think?”

    Luo Qi frowned and pondered: “I would think he’s not a good person, you’re already so poor, and he still wants to take advantage of you.”

    “What if you bought me a cup of milk tea, and I didn’t return the favor?” Jiang Yifeng looked at Luo Qi.

    “I…” Luo Qi opened his mouth, but didn’t finish.

    “You would think it’s nothing, just a cup of milk tea, why care so much.” Jiang Yifeng’s eyes curved into a crescent moon, looking very cute, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes were also filled with a pool of water.

    “If I express my feelings, even just a little, they will think, this person is so annoying, he’s acting pitiful, everything he writes is to act pitiful.”

    “Expressing feelings is only useful in front of people who like you, in front of people who don’t like you, expressing feelings is useless, and will have the opposite effect.”

    Jiang Yifeng leaned back in his chair, his expression seemed tired.

    After staying up for days to prepare the public announcement, Jiang Yifeng was a bit tired.

    He didn’t have much work anyway, he just needed to wait for the results.

    “You’ve completed the most important part, just leave the rest to us… Asking us to look at that repayment record one by one, sorting it out one by one, it would take until next month to complete.”

    Someone next to him also laughed: “Brother Qiang has already started watching, he didn’t expect you to be able to take out so much stuff…”

    “Because I’ve been sorting it out for many years.”

    “Then why didn’t you release it immediately to clarify? You should have released the chat records between you and your uncle immediately when they were scolding you as a scammer to clarify.”

    Jiang Yifeng looked at the person who spoke, he didn’t say that the other party was naive, he just smiled and said: “I’ve tried, they wouldn’t believe that my uncle and I were still close a few days ago, and then fell out a few days later, nor would they believe that I didn’t know how much money there was…”

    All the numbers were sorted out by him afterwards, flipping through each one, matching one number with another.

    No one believed that Jiang Yifeng at the beginning was really an adult who didn’t even know how to register for a doctor’s appointment and could only hand over all the money to his uncle, and even had to rely on Jiang Kailu to speak up and help with the sale of the house and how much to sell it for.

    “All my words were seen as excuses to avoid responsibility, they said that we deliberately fell out, and then I continued to use the identity of a filial son to make money, and he carried the evil name of running away with the money, and then settle the accounts in secret… I can’t explain it clearly.”

    Jiang Yifeng narrowed his eyes, his palms rested on his knees, and he was unusually relaxed.

    He had done everything he could, and even discussed the public relations strategy after the article was released with Guan Yiqiang.

    As for what the result would be…

    Jiang Yifeng planned to leave it to fate.

    Do your best and leave the rest to fate.

    The heat online about Jiang Yifeng’s fraud was slowly decreasing.

    The celebrity’s company cut ties with him, various brands couldn’t hold on and ran away one after another, fans talked about their process of unfollowing him, and netizens saw through his true colors.

    The bloggers who were vying to use Jiang Yifeng for hot topics a few days ago also wanted to find new traffic passwords, and the netizens were satisfied with their sense of justice and planned to return to their new lives.

    And Jiang Yifeng’s reply dragged the focus back to this matter again.

    “The company has admitted it, what are you washing for?”

    “Don’t you still think you can explain it clearly?”

    “The photoshopped images look so real, I wish you garbage would die sooner.”

    Many people went straight to the comments section at first. They wouldn’t read the picture and text content in half a second, but instead immediately insulted Jiang Yifeng for trying to whitewash himself and faking evidence.

    However, at this time, Guan Yiqiang’s water army intervened, firmly pressing the water army’s comments on the hot comments – Guan Yiqiang had long known what evidence Jiang Yifeng had in his hands.

    Robot comments did not directly favor Jiang Yifeng at this time, but stated that there seemed to be flow marks on the bank statement, and asked, “Can anyone check whether the notarization watermark on the picture is a real official watermark? Is there any meaning?”

    Such a first comment immediately shifted the public’s attention to the official and notarized watermark – people are conformist, when the first hot comment is a pure question, other people’s doubts are also aroused, so many people clicked on the link that Jiang Yifeng put in the blog post, and some people went online to search what is called picture notarization, and after searching for the news, they popularized it in the comments section.

    In the first half hour, the top hot comments rotated among several questions.

    “What is a notarization watermark, is it official, what is the meaning.”

    “Can anyone check if this xxx hospital six years ago really exists, are their medical records opened like this? Don’t tell me it’s fake?”

    Relatively neutral statements and too many likes made the public’s attention focused on “official” and “true or false.”

    And the lively insults that determined that Jiang Yifeng was faking gradually turned into how to prove the authenticity of the things on those pictures.

    Various marketing accounts also immediately began to find the screenshots of Jiang Yifeng’s posts one by one to identify them in order to gain popularity.

    The initial message that directly attacked Jiang Yifeng for faking instantly dissipated.

    They tried to find evidence of Jiang Yifeng’s forgery under each marketing account.

    No one was willing to admit their mistakes, as long as they could find evidence of Jiang Yifeng’s forgery, it would become a new carnival.

    However, there was none.

    Someone doxxed the hospital, personally asked the hospital, and the hospital could accurately say the event of the department organizing donations that year, while also helping Jiang Yifeng to prove the authenticity and accuracy of the number of donations.

    Searching the official website or reporting the authenticity of the documents upward could only confirm the authenticity of the picture.

    Searching the bank statement could also find that the flow format was the same as the format directly transferred out, neatly from top to bottom.

    The voice of abuse in Jiang Yifeng’s comments section became very small.

    There weren’t even hundreds of apologies. All the people who participated in the abuse of Jiang Yifeng either didn’t believe it or were silent, and no one was willing to admit that they were wrong.

    Jiang Yifeng didn’t feel any surprise when he saw the event response.

    Those big Vs who had been scolding Jiang Yifeng the most fiercely were peaceful in their own homepages, and when they clicked on the blog posts of a few living people, they either forwarded Jiang Yifeng’s clarification and asked “What the hell is he doing again”, or quietly deleted the previous reposts and continued to pretend that nothing had happened and shared their life.

    Luo Qi was shocked when he saw it.

    “How can they be so shameless? They dug for a whole day, found out that they scolded the wrong person and didn’t apologize? They just deleted it? They just pretended to be dead?”
