She swallowed hard, as if she had found a successful case study. On one hand, she really didn't want to pay compensation. On the other hand... it was because she didn't have the money.

Yan Jiayu also nodded. "Not bad. If worst comes to worst, we can go to court. I think we're still in the right. When faced with something like this, we absolutely can't just suffer in silence; we have to stand our ground!"

Afterwards, she pondered again. For the other party to exploit her son's death and demand two hundred thousand is truly hateful. We might even be able to accuse her of extortion!

She was a loyal fan of that 'up.' She had watched almost every video and had learned quite a bit of useful legal knowledge. According to her understanding, such behavior, which clearly exceeded a certain limit and demanded an exorbitant amount, definitely constituted extortion!

I'm going to check the forum.

Thinking this, Yan Jiayu took out her mobile phone and logged into the Study Law Alliance Forum. As one of Qin Mu's fans, she was also a loyal user of this forum. She would pop up there every day, sharing legal knowledge with others and learning some useful tips.

She planned to pose a question there to see if anyone could offer her a solution.

However, as soon as she logged into the forum, she saw a barrage of scolding across its three main sections. All over the forum, there were posts condemning and cursing them.

"Guys, did you see the investigation results? These two women actually have no criminal responsibility!"

"I'm not necessarily insisting that they bear criminal responsibility, but given how the event has unfolded, these two women haven't come forward to apologize, nor have they shown any remorse. That's truly hateful!"

"Exactly! My lungs are about to explode! How can such people exist in the world? Someone drowned trying to save their dog, and they just walked away from the scene?"

"Were they in a rush to be reincarnated? Any decent human being wouldn't do such a thing!"

"..."

Nearly every post accused them of being immoral and having poor character. In the comments below the posts, there were similarly various attacks against the two of them.

Yan Jiayu glanced over a few posts, and her face immediately turned red with anger.

This... this... how can these netizens be so oblivious to right and wrong?

For a moment, she felt extremely wronged. She clearly hadn't done anything wrong. Why was the entire forum accusing her?

"What's wrong?" Liu Die noticed something was amiss and quickly came over.

But when she saw the posts in the forum, her face also turned red with anger, utterly furious.

"Where did we go wrong?"

"The police even said it wasn't our fault. He chose to go into the water himself, so why should we apologize?"

"Besides, didn't we contact them?"

"Weren't they the ones who demanded two hundred thousand right off the bat?"

The more they thought about it, the more suffocated and angry they became, especially seeing so many malicious comments online, all blaming their character and morality. There wasn't even a single person defending them.

I'll check other platforms. There must be someone who looks at the issue from a rational perspective! Yan Jiayu took a deep breath. She was now completely disappointed with the netizens of this Study Law Alliance Forum! She once thought she had found her community. Who knew... these people had such skewed values and twisted morals! The entire forum was ganging up on her, accusing her of having no morals. Such open cursing, who really lacked morals?

Let's go check Little Station first; the users on Little Station should be more reasonable.

She opened Little Station and scrolled through a few videos. As expected, this incident had already become a trending topic. The view count had reached a recent high.

However, when she opened a video, she found that the bullet-screen comments and the regular comment section were completely different from what she had expected.

"I didn't dare to comment before the official announcement came out. Now, I only want to say to these two women: To hell with them!"

"There really are such people in the world. I can't hold back anymore. Today, I absolutely have to curse them out—they're worse than dogs!"

"The dog could swim, the person was a minor and couldn't swim, yet they made him go into the river to save the dog. What kind of heart did they have?"

"Can everyone please be a bit more rational? Maybe the dog is one of their own kind? Worry can make people irrational..."

"..."

Like in the Study Law Alliance, the comments here were still constantly accusing them. However, compared to before, the words were a bit more civilized. There weren't as many vulgar swear words.

'Up,' your efforts were all in vain, Yan Jiayu thought, sighing deeply.

She vaguely remembered... Before Qin Mu came to Little Station, the atmosphere was like this. Over the past few months, the atmosphere had improved considerably; incidents of cyberbullying had become rare. But now... these people had once again let themselves go, furiously cyberbullying the two of them.

Afterwards, she checked other platforms, and almost all were discussing the matter. Beneath related videos, the comments also overwhelmingly condemned them.

Of course, occasionally, there were a few defending them.

"I think everyone is being too harsh. They're two girls whose beloved dog fell into the river. Isn't it normal for worry to cloud your judgment in such a situation?"

"I'm sure those who are cursing them have never owned pets. If your own pet fell into a river, do you have any idea how frantic you'd be?"

"I think it's understandable. They were probably too shocked at that moment and didn't know what to do."
