This video indeed didn’t distort the facts and clarified the entire incident. But the mother in the video, while loudly and tearfully accusing everyone, downplayed her son’s robbery. She breezed past it with a single sentence, claiming robbery couldn’t happen without a reason. In her eyes, only her son was the victim; she felt not the slightest guilt towards Bai Xuelan, the person who was robbed. And she blad her son’s death entirely on others. Qin Mu, Bai Xuelan, Liang Chengbin, and Hua Li, the driver responsible for the accident, were all "singled out for criticism."
With such values, no wonder she raised a son like that, Qin Mu couldn’t help but scoff after watching the video. Then, he clicked into the comnts section below to see the public reaction.
He had expected a flurry of bleeding hearts to erge, but unexpectedly, the entire comnts section was exceptionally civilized. Comnts attacking the four of them from a moral high ground were almost non-existent; it was even difficult to find a single profanity.
"The weather’s really nice today. Condolences."
"OP, friendly advice: you should delete this video ASAP to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"I can understand suing the other three, but what’s the point of suing the person who was robbed? Can’t soone chase after their stolen belongings?"
"Has anyone else noticed that one of the two Good Samaritans in the video looks really familiar?"
"No offense intended, I’ll refrain from making judgnts. Please don’t take it personally."
"..."
These comnts either offered a few objective remarks or were off-topic, like "The weather’s really nice."
The cyber-mobbing Qin Mu had anticipated didn’t materialize. It seed so people... had recognized him in the video. Having learned their lesson from the previous comnt section fiasco, they didn’t speak rashly. Even if they did comnt, their words contained no abuse or attacks. It was civil and harmonious. Seeing this, Qin Mu felt greatly relieved. His recent "efforts" had finally shown so results.
It was like having an ergency and needing to pass through a crowd; people might stand still, unreactive. But if you just shouted, "Careful, hot water!" everyone would imdiately cooperate and clear a wide path. When it wasn’t their business, they stayed out of it. Having learned from the previous comnt section fiasco, the netizens of this particular site were noticeably much "cuter," fearful of saying sothing inappropriate.
"OP, I just scrolled through other platforms and found that soone has posted this video everywhere!"
Before long, Qing Lan sent him another ssage, followed by video links from other platforms. They all had the sa title: "Four People Caused My Son’s Death and Are Still At Large – We Demand Justice!"
Qin Mu frowned and clicked open these video links. The view count for each was substantial; one had nearly two million views, and the lowest still had several hundred thousand. The videos were all identical, but their comnt sections were completely different from the one he had just seen.
"The love of parents knows no bounds. What a tragedy. My condolences."
"The chase led to soone’s death, and they bear no responsibility? Not a single person was caught? Don’t these four people have a conscience?"
"This is a human life we’re talking about! No matter what, you can’t just turn a blind eye, can you?"
"They genuinely show no guilt or remorse. For people to be so cold-hearted, Hell itself must be empty."
"..."
Most comnts sided with Yuan Cui Lian, accusing Qin Mu and the other three of lacking guilt or remorse. The few who occasionally tried to speak fairly were quickly drowned out by an endless tide of moral condemnation. The entire comnt section seed to be unanimously denouncing the four of them. Many comnts were particularly nasty, practically cursing Qin Mu and the others’ children to die.
"To those claiming to speak fairly: can’t you put yourselves in her shoes? This mother lost her son, and the people responsible are still walking free. Could you endure that?"
"Honestly, I bet they could. They’d probably remain utterly calm even if their own sons died."
"Everyone feels the sa way about this! These four absolutely must provide an explanation!"
"Exactly! Even if it was an accident, they can’t just act as if nothing happened, right?"
"..."
On other platforms, the comnt sections were predominantly filled with sympathetic yet condemnatory and offensive remarks. So people had already started doxxing Qin Mu and the other three online, revealing much of their personal information to the public and encouraging everyone to voice their condemnation.
"It took a lot of effort, but I finally found information on these four. The incident happened in Jin City. The driver responsible for the accident is nad Hua Li, an ordinary office worker."
"The one who was robbed is Bai Xuelan; she seems to be a full-ti homaker."
"The other two who gave chase are Qin Mu, who apparently works at a nursing ho, and Liang Chengbin, a migrant worker."
On one platform, soone claid they had spent "a lot of money" to obtain this information.
Once this information was made public, many people copied and pasted the details, spreading them across other platforms. More and more onlookers joined in, and the ranks of those condemning and hurling insults swelled.
"Listening to the elderly mother’s account in the video, I don’t think her son was that kind of person. I suggest the relevant authorities thoroughly investigate this Bai Xuelan. See if there was so financial dispute between them!"
