As Yang Xue spoke up, public opinion shifted dramatically.
First, Yang Xue's status as an S-class individual from the Yang Family, and on par with Ren Dongyang from the Ren Family, held significant weight.
She was an outsider.
Actively stepping in to defend Xu Gu, it naturally added more credibility.
Moreover, what Yang Xue said, whether in terms of logic, detail, or evidence, was beyond a doubt.
Even a fool could understand the truth!
...
The situation reversed almost instantly.
It didn't even have time to ferment and spread, causing a city-wide commotion, before it was debunked.
Xu Gu was exonerated, and Ren Dongyang was hammered as a tyrant who kidnapped a Xia City genius, colluded with the Ascension Sect, and conspired to assassinate Xu Gu—a crime punishable by death!
Previously, most netizens who had been speaking up for Ren Dongyang and supporting him were dumbfounded, never expecting to be countered so swiftly!
The face-slapping speed was just too fast!
