Only the youngsters engage in platforms like Weibo and Xiaohongshu.
Old-timers like Wu Anmin and Ji Weiyuan, for one, didn't even know how to use Weibo before, nor did they need to.
Secondly, they always immerse themselves in their own fields of research, having no time or energy to pay attention to such things.
Thus, even though the scandal involving Peng Hongyuan had caused a massive uproar on Weibo, Ji Weiyuan and Wu Anmin were completely oblivious to it.
It was only when Ji Yan called his grandpa in the afternoon and told Ji Weiyuan that Peng Hongyuan was taken away by the police, and Lu Sheng, who tried to defend him, was viciously attacked online, that Ji Weiyuan realized something serious had happened.
Ji Weiyuan immediately called Peng Hongyuan, only to find that his phone was unreachable, and then he quickly called Wu Anmin.
