"In the face of such an incident, all I can say is that no one wants to see it happen, but I hope everyone can be more tolerant. These two girls must be having a tough time too."

...

Some people tried to say something impartial from the perspective of "women" and "dog lovers."

But they didn't hold out for long.

They were instantly overwhelmed by the raging torrent of public opinion.

These people…

were even criticized more viciously than the two of them.

"Cyberbullying!"

"It's cyberbullying again!"

Yan Jiayu's face turned somewhat pale after browsing several major platforms.

She had not expected... that one day, such a thing would happen to her!

Previously, when she watched Qin Mu's videos, Qin Mu had also been a victim of cyberbullying. At that time, she hadn't thought cyberbullying was that serious. Not until now. Only after experiencing it firsthand did she truly realize its power.

The moment she went online, she saw everyone cursing her, saying all kinds of horrible things.

No matter how strong her psychological endurance was, she couldn't withstand such torment.

Beside her, Liu Die was also biting her lower lip hard, her face troubled.

Unable to contain herself, she asked, "Jiayu, wasn't there a case in Jin City before where someone sued the entire internet?"

"Can we... also do something like that and sue those who cyberbullied us?"

Yan Jiayu gave a bitter smile and shook her head. "It's no use."

"The case of suing the entire internet was handled by that uploader I follow. He explained the method in his video, but the problem is..."

"We don't have the money."

Never mind whether it was even feasible; the core issue was that they didn't have the money for legal fees! The incident Qin Mu had faced only involved suing 3,200 people. But what they were facing was genuine condemnation from the entire internet! The people vilifying them were numerous, to say the least. If they wanted to file a lawsuit, it would cost at least tens of millions, possibly even over a hundred million! And they couldn't even come up with 200,000... With their financial situation, suing the entire internet was practically impossible.

"If this won't work, and that won't work, are we just supposed to take this abuse lying down?"

Liu Die was trembling with rage.

Experiencing this sort of cyberbullying made her feel extremely aggrieved.

She couldn't even retaliate.

No matter how strong her fighting spirit was…

she couldn't possibly out-argue the entire internet!

Moreover, crimes like defamation and insult seemed to be matters for private prosecution. If they didn't file a complaint, no one would take up the case. But they wanted to sue and had no money.

For a moment, the situation seemed like a dead end. It appeared their only option was to silently endure the online abuse.

...

「Jin City.」

「Nursing Home.」

Qin Mu was also closely following the official announcements.

After learning the results of the investigation, he too sighed deeply.

Couldn't swim... yet still chose to go into the water. This ultimately led to tragedy.

"One must act within one's capabilities when attempting a rescue," Qin Mu couldn't help but lament.

While courageously helping others is commendable, it must be done while ensuring one's own safety. You mustn't risk your own life trying to save someone else.

After this news was officially announced, a heated debate erupted across the internet, leading to an unprecedented wave of cyberbullying.

Various platforms were discussing this dog rescue case, and almost all of them were blaming the two women.

The facts of this incident were clear. Public opinion was almost entirely one-sided, condemning the two irresponsible and morally reprehensible women. The backlash grew more intense, its scale even larger than what he had faced previously.

"This time, the netizens... found the right target," Qin Mu remarked.

Regarding this, Qin Mu shrugged, welcoming the outcome.

Even Little Station, which he had somewhat "purified"... couldn't help but join the masses condemning these two women.

Some people are cyberbullied because facts are distorted, and trolls attack others merely for their own sense of superiority. But some people who are cyberbullied... simply deserve it.

A boy drowned trying to save their dog, and the two women just left with the dog. They never showed their faces afterward, nor did they apologize. Such actions... don't seem like something a person with a normal moral compass would do.

Forget guilt; shouldn't there be at least some apology? They asked for help, and the person who helped them got into trouble... People who can remain so indifferent and unmoved in such a situation are truly rare.

If only that boy had possessed even a tenth of their coldness and had refused their request, this tragedy wouldn't have happened.

Sometimes in this society... the issue is that good people are too eager to help, while the wicked are too callous. This only leads to... fewer and fewer people willing to do good deeds.

Forget rewards; the price of being a good person is sometimes too high for one to bear.

Therefore, Qin Mu actually supported this round of cyberbullying.

Criminal law didn't punish them. But society would impose a moral sanction on them.

"Uploader, I have a friend who insulted those two women online, really viciously. The comment got over 30,000 likes. Could there be any risk?"

That afternoon, Qing Lan sent him a message, asking for advice.

Seeing the message, Qin Mu's mouth twitched involuntarily.

From his understanding of Qing Lan... it was highly likely this "friend" was a fabrication. The one doing the insulting was definitely Qing Lan himself!

"Was there any fabrication or distortion of the facts?" Qin Mu thought for a moment and replied.

"No, my friend based the cyberbullying on actual facts," Qing Lan instantly replied, clearly very familiar with the comment's content.

"Then, did it include personal insults or involve their relatives?" Qin Mu asked further.

The definition of defamation usually hinges on distorting facts and personal attacks. If there is no distortion of facts, and one is merely stating facts, it does not constitute defamation.
