Fourth Brother Also Comes to Protect Xingbao

When Ji Chuxing put down her phone, all the photos and personal information that had been dug up by Tang Chuxin's fans were already scrubbed from the internet.

Wei Shi's stance on the matter ultimately defined how the incident would be perceived.

Faced with Wei Shi's formidable fanbase, Tang Chuxin's supporters could only retreat step by step—especially since Tang Chuxin herself had no shortage of detractors.

At first, everyone thought the issue had come to a close. But half an hour later, a lawyer's letter accusing Tang Chuxin's fans of doxxing and defamation appeared online. The representative? None other than Attorney Wei Lu from North City's Hengxin Law Firm.

Wei Lu was a legendary figure in North City's legal circles—a young prodigy at just 24 years old who had dominated the field for years. There wasn't a case he couldn't crack, and he had never lost a lawsuit. No one dared to challenge him.

Could this matter really have caught his attention?

Did the person who was doxxed, Ji Chuxing, possess the influence to enlist such a heavyweight attorney?

While public speculation swirled, Wei Lu simply posted eight words on Weibo to explain his actions: *"It was unbearable; justice demanded action."*

"Tsk, tsk, even Wei Lu couldn't tolerate this. Tang Chuxin's fans are in serious trouble now."

"True. This will teach them that the world doesn't revolve around them."

"Just look at how angry Wei Lu is!"

"Don't think you can act recklessly just because you're young. Not only did they spread rumors, but they also doxxed people. Tsk, tsk, someone needed to set them straight!"

"At their age, they should know better about the role and limits of the law."

The Xin Fans (fans of Tang Chuxin) who had previously shared false information and participated in doxxing immediately deleted their posts after seeing the lawyer's letter. Some might not fully grasp what Hengxin Law Firm and Attorney Wei represented, but the internet quickly instilled a sense of crisis among them.

But deleting tweets, posts, or even deactivating accounts proved futile. There was no evidence that Attorney Wei couldn't obtain. Besides targeting Ji Chuxing, these fans had also doxxed and harassed countless others, creating a toxic online environment. Wei Lu included these incidents in the legal notice as well.

That day, the internet buzzed with activity. Across China, many of Tang Chuxin's fans were left wailing in despair.

Meanwhile, Ji Chuxing stared at the text messages on her phone, unsure of what to say.

*"Little sister, your fourth brother is avenging you. Don't worry—if anyone bullies you in the future, I'll sue them until they're bankrupt and buy you snacks with the money!"*

Another message followed immediately: *"Sis, remember me! I'm your fourth brother, Wei Lu! Don't forget!"*

Ji Chuxing: *"... "*

A soft "ding dong" sound signaled another incoming text. Ji Chuxing glanced at her account balance, which suddenly had several extra zeros. Her eyes sparkled, and the little tuft of hair atop her head swayed slightly. Three seconds later, she quietly added a second reminder to her notebook: *"Improve the best throat medication."*

This day was not only the darkest for Tang Chuxin's fans but also the most frustrating for Tang Chuxin herself. Her agent and family forbade her from paying further attention to the online drama and were working hard to suppress it. Fortunately, after the morning incident, supervision at Nan High School tightened significantly. Even if there were entertainment reporters outside, they couldn't get in.

However, the incident wasn't something Tang Chuxin had done herself—it was caused by her overzealous fans. Afterward, the leading fans swiftly expelled those accused from the group, and the fan community issued apologies, absolving Tang Chuxin entirely. With the Tang family's connections, Tang Chuxin could position herself as a pitiable victim in this situation. She wasn't significantly affected.

The main perpetrators of the doxxing were other fans, not the students at the school. However, those students had acted as catalysts, so the school handed down severe punishments. These fans represented Tang Chuxin to some extent, making this a direct blow to her reputation.

She couldn't swallow this humiliation.

After Attorney Wei's lawyer's letter went public, many people approached Class 16, pleading with Ji Chuxing to ask Wei Lu to drop the lawsuit. While Wei Lu's involvement wasn't solely because of her, she was undoubtedly the trigger.

"Anyway, you didn't suffer any real loss—it was just information leaked online. Maybe Tang Chuxin's fans could bring you more traffic. If you want to become an influencer, they could help you. Why be so unforgiving?"

"Yeah, they're younger than you and even your juniors. Can't you show some mercy? Why be so ruthless?"

These people grew increasingly agitated, speaking with a self-righteous air. It seemed as though Ji Chuxing refusing to forgive them was a grave sin.

The students in Class 16 found their audacity laughable. Zhao Feifei slammed a chair against the door.

"I've seen shameless people, but never like this. It's mind-boggling. Have your morals gone out the window? You made mistakes and now expect forgiveness while acting like you're untouchable?"

Feifei's sharp tone sent everyone stepping back. Lu Xiaoye stepped forward, exuding an intimidating aura. He had been holding back for a while, and now he looked ready to fight anyone who said another word: "Whoever dares to speak again, I'll beat you senseless, believe it or not!"

With both of them present, no one else dared to utter a sound.

Ji Chuxing took off her headphones and grabbed a water bottle, heading out. For some reason, just the sight of her carrying the water bottle made people's legs feel weak. Those who had been aggressive moments ago stepped back, their confidence drained. Once they retreated, they realized they lacked the courage to step forward again.

Ji Chuxing cast a dispassionate glance at the once-arrogant individuals. Her voice was calm and clear: "When you hurt others, they have the right to choose not to forgive you. Their safety is due to their own protective abilities, not a reason for you to escape responsibility. This is common sense."

Her tone was flat, yet it silenced everyone, leaving them speechless. Zhou Sixue rushed out, her soft and cute appearance tinged with fear, but her red-rimmed eyes glared at the crowd. "If Ji hadn't been so strong, you could have destroyed someone today. Where do you get the nerve to think you deserve forgiveness?"

At the corner of the staircase, Wen Xinyue and Tang Chuxin stood frozen, unable to move another step. Tang Chuxin had originally intended to address the matter herself. Though those fans were insignificant and somewhat foolish, she felt compelled to act for the sake of her image.

But Ji Chuxing's words nailed her to the pillar of shame. Before she could take any action, her thoughts were laid bare. She accidentally met Ji Chuxing's indifferent gaze and felt like a clown. Yet Ji Chuxing acted as if she didn't recognize her, treating her like thin air. She turned and walked away with her water bottle.

Hmm, she was going to fill it with water and make a fizzy tablet drink! Grape-flavored—it was so sweet!
