"Alright, let's split up and take action. I hope we won't be crushed this time."

"Okay, let's give it our all."

Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone and immediately drove to the police station with Jiang Hui to file a report.

Many people at the police station recognized Ling Zhenfei because he had helped the police solve several major cases. The officers here had specifically studied these advanced cases.

Moreover, his assistance in treating Han Lian also made many police officers aware of his name, so as soon as he entered the police station, some officers recognized him.

After learning about Ling Zhenfei's arrival, the police didn't dare to slack off. They immediately registered his case, and Ling Zhenfei called Guo Qing'an, the director of public security, as this matter was within his jurisdiction.

"Director Guo, you have to stand up for me this time."

Guo Qing'an was quite surprised, "What's wrong, Zhenfei? I've never seen you like this."

Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, "Someone is trying to ruin me this time."

Ling then told Guo Qing'an about the situation online. Guo Qing'an was infuriated, "It's outrageous! Are videos not screened anymore? Leave this to me, I'll get someone to take it down."

"That's truly a big help, Director Guo. Could you also ask the Binyang police to post a Weibo that I've reported this to the police?"

Guo Qing'an said, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

After ending the call, Ling Zhenfei asked Jiang Hui to drive to Qinghe Village. With things having escalated to this point, he couldn't rest easy without going back.

On the way, Ling Zhenfei kept monitoring the situation. The incident had quickly escalated online, with various accusations against him, replaying a scenario from six months ago.

But this time it was different; the scale was much larger. Back then, he was less known and received little attention. Now, his name could easily make headlines.

The incident had become major news. Although the video was deleted, many people downloaded it before it was removed, making it impossible to completely erase.

Despite the number of haters, Ling Zhenfei posted on Weibo about reporting to the police, and Binyang Public Security also released a statement. Additionally, he had a lawyer draft a formal letter.

Once posted online, many of his fans chose to believe him. With over twenty million followers, protecting Ling Zhenfei's image was relatively easy.

Quickly, a fierce online argument erupted. One side supported Ling Zhenfei, the other defamed him.

All of the Weibo posts he made received hundreds of thousands of comments, with a significant amount of insults and mockery.

Lin Yi's official Weibo and fan support group all condemned the slanderers, but their efforts seemed ineffective.

In the words of the haters: the video appeared very realistic, well-rooted in facts and evidence, making it nearly impossible to overturn.

They demanded answers from Ling Zhenfei on several issues, one being his medical skills—where did he learn them?

The second question concerned the mysterious liquid used for soaking seeds at Xishan Manor—did it have radiation?

The third question was whether the fruits consumed had any hidden side effects or harm to the body.

These were challenging explanations that seemed difficult for Ling Zhenfei to provide.

With the online insults getting worse, Ling Zhenfei became very anxious. As the situation fermented, more people would get involved. Many people online loved to exacerbate matters.

Feeling extremely anxious, Ling Zhenfei made a bold decision. Since so many people were asking him questions on Weibo, he decided to give them an explanation.

He then activated the live stream function on Weibo. As soon as he went live, it attracted millions of viewers, with the number still increasing.

Many people started leaving comments asking about his situation, with some immediately hurling insults while others rallied in support.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Everyone, please don't rush. When more people join, I will explain. It would be pointless to speak now when the audience is still small."

Due to this remark, many began to share the live stream link. Within just a few minutes, the number of viewers surged to over ten million.

Many more people wanted to join, but the system notified that it had reached its maximum capacity and any more would crash the servers.

"Now that we have enough people, I'll start today's live stream. I'm currently on my way back to Xishan Manor and will take you on a tour of the mysterious Xishan Manor mentioned in the video."

If you enable the bullet comments, you would see the screen flooded with them. The viewership numbers were so high that all kinds of comments filled the space—insults, praise, provocations, and even confusion.

"Let's see how you explain this away."

"Your house of cards has fallen. Give us a reasonable explanation."

"You're the best, ignore those online trolls. Just be yourself."

"What's going on now? Who is this? Kind of handsome though."

"Where does the water in Xishan Manor come from? Does it have radiation? Why is the produce from Xishan Manor so tasty?"

"What's your educational background? Who taught you your medical skills?"

"So interesting, who cares about degrees? Can't people be self-taught geniuses anymore?"

"Regardless of his education, he has cured many patients, like Xiao Yan in the Provincial City a few days ago. She's shown significant improvement."

"Haters, get lost. Do you want to drive Divine Doctor Ling to death?"

"Obviously, this is a deliberate smear campaign. Only an idiot can't see that. Is radioactive water that easy to obtain?"

"Ling Zhenfei's die-hard fans, stop yapping. If you've got the guts, have him provide the evidence."

"..."

Before Ling Zhenfei even started his explanation, the comments section already descended into chaos. Ignoring the turmoil, he began his live stream.

"Hello everyone, whether you know me or not, since you've joined my live stream today, it's fate. This is my first live stream because of the attacks against me and my Xishan Manor online.

Today, I will keep it simple. The reason why so many people believe the rumors is that they perceive Xishan Manor as very mysterious. Today, I'll take everyone to see Xishan Manor for themselves.

There's no need to sneak in or bribe someone on the inside. We will enter openly and honestly. Now, I'm on my way back, let me show you the view outside the car."

Ling Zhenfei pointed his phone's camera outside the vehicle. They had already entered the outskirts, with the distant Xianling Mountain coming into view.
