With a large number of videos from bystanders as evidence, at least it proved that soone made the first move, so it doesn’t count as Xia Siyu intentionally planning it.
Moreover, if soone tries to kill and gets killed instead, the public naturally stands on the side of the one who retaliated, considering it "self-defense." Mainly because the legal definition of "self-defense" is too strict, many people, after reaching their limits, retaliate and kill their enemy, yet still face prison. Many people empathize with these retaliators.
However, hackers can always find new directions. Because before the thug rushed in, he shouted sothing like "upholding justice," which was conveniently caught on cara by a nearby audience mber.
It’s well known that a strange phenonon has erged these days. When soone is hard, killed, or beaten, the dia doesn’t criticize the perpetrator but eagerly explores why the perpetrator committed the cri, what their psychological motives were at the ti, whether there were reasons or grievances behind their actions. They also question whether the victim was the perfect victim, or if they had done bad things in the past.
It’s not to prevent cri, but purely for clicks and to attract viewers’ attention.
So when a female passenger is killed by an illegal taxi, they empathize with the hardships of the taxi driver, complain about the passenger’s sarcasm, and heavily criticize the victim: If you’re out late at night, you must not be a good woman.
There’s also the case where a man kills his wife, and people desperately find reasons like "the woman must have cheated, or pressured her husband too much, otherwise why would an honest man kill soone?"
As long as you’re not a perfect victim, you can always be attacked.
The hackers quickly discovered a new angle. With the thug’s first wave of throwing bottles and Xia Siyu dodging, there were even cheers from the audience, so they linked this criminal to the families of those who died in the mountain disaster, and even dragged Chen Fan into it.
They claid this guy was also a victim’s family mber, or a friend, or perhaps a fan of Chen Fan.
He was acting to "rid the public of harm," blaming Xia Siyu for profiting off others’ misfortune and making dirty money. Though it’s unfortunate for the staff, they claim her death would serve her right!
The hackers even pushed Chen Fan into trending topics. Since the mountain disaster, his agency terminated his contract, and a television station compensated him. He then entered a recovery phase, gradually faded from the entertainnt circle, fitted a prosthetic limb with Xia Siyu’s help, and even ca here to block the knife for her.
Insiders know this, but the public doesn’t, nor do the hackers. In their eyes, Chen Fan was just the perfect "tool man".
His fa was high, everyone knew him. Furthermore, since he was far removed from the entertainnt industry, it was easy for them to use his na in various "morials."
The hackers knew better than to fabricate lies, but they just bought his na as a trending search term, making it perfect for attacking Xia Siyu.
Sure enough, this wave of attention was handled very well. Previously, they said she was "attempted murder," and Xia Siyu used "self-defense" to wash it off.
But this ti they claid the other side was "upholding justice," imdiately garnering public sympathy. There were even a few extre hackers shouting: "Warrior! Well done! It’s a pity it was only the staff mber who got stabbed, not her!"
Xia Siyu, wanting to protect Chen Fan and not wanting him to be disturbed by the dia during treatnt, did not refute this, so the rumors spread even more fiercely.
Even when the police later reported that the thug was simply suicidal and wanted to drag a female celebrity down with him, the public simply didn’t believe it.
