Soon, under Shen Wenqian's manipulation, hashtags like #RuanQiClarifies#, #RuanQiDidNotCheckIntoAHotel#, and #CaoYeChasesClout# all appeared on the trending searches.
Cao Ye never expected Ruan Qi to be able to present such rock-solid evidence for clarification, and in his panic, he deleted his Weibo post immediately.
This act, which was akin to proclaiming "I have hidden no silver here," only made netizens more certain that he was just clout-chasing and that it might have been he who masterminded the entire incident involving Ruan Qi.
The online community's anger was ignited.
[Wanting to be famous so badly that you'd do something this despicable, aren't you afraid of karma!]
[During the cyber warfare crisis half a month ago, Ruan Qi stayed awake for eight consecutive days and nights, working with all the tech experts to save the world. Cao Ye, is this how you repay a hero?]
