The spread of this incident started off too quickly, so those who were well-informed had heard about it. However, it wasn't long before the public opinion was controlled. The school had its people managing the situation, while outside media was controlled by the Jiang and Zhao families. Only the initial group of people who knew about it really knew, and since there wasn't any continuous fermenting of the news, it faded.
Qi Yongwang had heard about the incident from his roommates, but apparently the video was too horrifying at the time, and he wasn't interested, so he never watched it. Moreover, with such a serious incident happening at home, his mother would have mentioned it if she knew, so when he heard about it now, he was somewhat incredulous, "No way, how could it be Zhenzhen? I haven't heard anything about this from my family."
