Chapter 2809 - 2871: Post Deletion

During the identification process, Yue Ming saw Li Yifei, and his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat, confirming he was not mistaken. The figure shaking in the video was Li Yifei, who was treating an injured person. Although the video was not clear, Yue Ming watched it several times and confirmed it was indeed Li Yifei.

"Why is he there? No, he should be there; he went with Wu Shuwei, the place where they ate is not far from there!" Yue Ming mumbled to himself, thus he can basically confirm Li Yifei’s involvement.

However, as the secretary sent over new videos and materials, Yue Ming became enraged after watching them. Another video and description clearly show Yue Ziyang being dragged out of the car by Li Yifei, thrown to the ground, and even slapped a few times. To top it off, he personally escorted him to the Public Security Bureau.

Yue Ming certainly knew the severity of the situation; Yue Ziyang not only drove under the influence but also killed two people on the spot, injuring more than ten others. If it weren’t for Li Yifei blocking the car, the consequences might have been more serious. Wait, how did he block the car? As Yue Ming thought of this, he hurriedly searched to find out that even the describers didn’t know how he blocked it and couldn’t explain. Anyway, when the car stopped, Li Yifei was standing in front of it with his hands pushing the car, and then he pulled the person out from inside the car and threw them to the ground.

Yue Ming found it hard to believe, but the events indeed happened. His son and another boy are now detained at the Public Security Bureau, and all kinds of evidence are present. Driving under the influence is already a very serious matter, especially drunk driving. Now, not only did he kill people in a busy area but was caught on the spot. If it were someone else, Yue Ming would have cursed, but now that it’s his son, Yue Ming first thought of how to save his son, to prevent him from going to jail.

The dead don’t matter; just pay compensations, a life is worth millions; he can accept that. The injured as well, but the key is the impact...

Yue Ming is not an internet blind; he is very familiar with the online rules, and his secretary understands these things, so he quickly asked the secretary to contact Twitter’s official management, spending a million directly, allowing the official to delete posts. He also reached out to some major news websites, hoping through his connections they would not report this matter or make fake news, anyway, the more bizarre the better, like saying that the real situation was Li Yifei beating two kids on the street, people around tried to stop but were beaten too... Anyway, such rumors are easy for these journalists to fabricate, after all, they often concoct various news.

After a night of public relations, Twitter indeed seemed bright and clear. Many people woke up to find that the posts they forwarded last night had all disappeared; clicking in, they were all deleted, and even some people’s accounts were banned. Then some internet celebrities who participated in the discussion last night all reposted another version of the post, confusing right and wrong, cleaning up all the mess...

Many people couldn’t help but be greatly surprised, not understanding what had happened. As for Li Yifei, he woke up early in the morning intending to use the soy milk machine to make some soy milk himself, but it needed to soak first, so he got up early. After soaking the beans, Li Yifei sat on the sofa browsing his phone, only to find that several posts he forwarded and participated in yesterday suddenly disappeared, including one he posted himself, all deleted.

This was a bit excessive. Li Yifei immediately frowned, searched, and found that last night’s drunk driving fatal accident was no longer searchable on Twitter. In private messages, comments, many people came to inform Li Yifei, and those familiar with Twitter’s rules said, "Comrade veteran, the other party surely bought out Twitter administrators, conducting massive deletions. Moreover, I found a lot of slanderous news, news that cleans up messes are also piled up, those people are simply too abominable, they don’t distinguish right from wrong, I request you to speak up!"

Someone else reminded: "Veteran, even your Twitter post has been deleted, those people even dare to delete your Twitter, what wouldn’t they dare do?"

Li Yifei scanned briefly, everyone was kindly reminding him, some were more outrageously angry, starting to post scolding the management. Li Yifei was familiar with the game rules here, knowing that such posts being massively deleted means backstage operations, otherwise his previous things spread even more widely than this, yet no one deleted them. Tsk, those things were bigger than this, and yet no posts were deleted; now someone deleted, Li Yifei couldn’t help but be speechless.

Of course, he also knew how significant such news was, especially in Haicheng, a famous scenic spot, almost all tourists come here to wander around, take a few photos, and show they’ve been there. Therefore, a car accident like this in such a place, how can such news be casually deleted? Is it government intervention?

This was immediately guessed by Li Yifei, only governmental intervention could possibly lead to such large-scale post deletions, because Twitter can’t stop the government.

But what about the dead? The injured? Li Yifei furrowed his brow, Haicheng is not the Li family’s territory, he’s not as free, but he has to inquire about the online matter; he @ mentioned two vice-presidents and a manager on Twitter, asking: "Could you explain why the posts about the hit-and-run accident I personally experienced last night were deleted, what was wrong with them? The drunk driving perpetrators have been arrested by the police, and I have given a statement too; is there some unknown aspect to this case? Waking up to find it deleted without any reason, is this the style of your platform?"

"Wow, veteran is cool, directly confronting them head-on! I support you!" a netizen immediately replied.

"We love veterans like this, indeed, why should the platform delete posts for no reason, when they weren’t illegal?"

"You all rest, I’ve said it last night, the kid involved in the drunk driving and fatal accident has a big background, very powerful, it’s said his family has billions, such families deleting a few posts is just child’s play!"

"Even if his family has money, drunk driving is illegal, hitting and killing people is even more illegal, why should they delete posts."

"Why? Money is enough, last year’s case involving a certain incident, deleting a post was only fifty thousand, do you think that kid’s family can’t afford fifty thousand?"

With the publication of Li Yifei’s post, it immediately stirred up a storm below, many people participated, some were angrily passionate, some were ridiculing sarcastically. They continually @ mentioned those several accounts.

Some didn’t believe in evil, started reposting the related news information, but quickly found out that either they couldn’t post or the posts were deleted shortly after, becoming infuriated.

When Wu Shuwei woke up, it was already past eight, almost nine. Rubbing her eyes, after waking up, brushing her teeth and washing up, she quickly went downstairs. She didn’t realize herself that inwardly she was actually eager to see Li Yifei, especially after going downstairs, seeing Li Yifei was busy in the kitchen, her mood immediately improved, walking over slowly, greeted, "Good morning."

Li Yifei turned around, grinned, and said, "Good morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Very well, you turned off the lights, I lay in bed and seemed to fall asleep instantly!" Wu Shuwei said with a smile.

"That’s good, get ready to drink soy milk, though there are no deep-fried dough sticks, just donuts!" Li Yifei said. He specially went to the dessert shop beside the school to buy these donuts, Wu Shuwei pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Okay!"

During breakfast, Li Yifei didn’t receive any feedback, Wu Shuwei specifically asked about the situation on Twitter, Li Yifei told her about the deletion, Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but frown and said, "If it really is like this, will this matter be minimized into insignificance? What about the two deceased? I still remember that critical moment when that boy pushed away his girlfriend but got hit, and his girlfriend was holding his corpse and crying heartbreakingly."

"Let’s see how it unfolds, such things are too disgusting, or else I need to take action myself," Li Yifei said.

"Mm-mm, if not involved directly, maybe could be ignored, but now we are involved, witnessing the havoc that car and person wrought, can’t just ignore it."

Buzz buzz buzz, the phone vibrated, Li Yifei picked it up to see it was a strange number, answered it, and heard a nervous voice saying, "Excuse me... Excuse me, are you the gentleman from last night?"

Hearing the voice, Li Yifei knew it was the father of the little girl from last night and replied, "Yes, it’s me."

"Hello, I’m the father of the girl from last night, we... can you talk now?"

"I can, have you decided? Then I’ll schedule a time!" Li Yifei said directly, the person on the other end clearly breathed a sigh of relief, obviously fearing that the call wouldn’t get through or that Li Yifei might refuse, yet didn’t expect the other party to take the initiative. The girl’s father took a deep breath and said, "It’s this way... Sir, we can’t let you and the doctor help for free, but we’ve been treating our daughter for a long time, most of the money is spent. If... treatment is possible, we are willing to pay five... seventy thousand yuan as thank you, we know this money is far short but if our daughter can be cured, we can earn money to pay you back."

"I said no money is needed, then no money is needed, but the cab fare coming over you need to pay yourself. Hmm, I’ll give you the address, tell the guard you are coming to my place, they won’t make it difficult for you."

No money? Really treating for free? Although the girl’s father did not sleep all night, hearing these words, he was immediately thrilled, repeatedly saying good, after Li Yifei finished the address, he carefully recorded it on paper, the couple read it several times, packed things quickly, took their daughter out, perhaps this was their last hope, they would hold onto it no matter what, giving their daughter a chance to live. If missed, they might regret it for a lifetime.
