Beigong Mingtian sighed and picked up the broken tablet on the ground, he fiddled with it. “Qiqi, perhaps you think that public opinion is nothing. It’s just people cursing. It won’t cause any real harm to people, much less affect real life. But in reality, if someone deliberately manipulated public opinion behind the scenes, it would be completely different. “After being manipulated and stimulated, public opinion can really drown people. If you don’t believe me, you can continue to watch…”
He pointed at the bullet screens that followed, the comments that filled the entire internet, and the trending headlines —
“Gong Jue is definitely a wild beast, a killing machine, and a spy of the Empire! He’s a traitor!”
“The engineers who died in our ten years of confrontation with s nation must have been sent to their deaths on purpose!”
“He has so much power. He must have done a lot of heinous things in the past ten years, and he didn’t let us know!”
“What Bullsh * T War God? What Technological Defense Network? We were the ones who won the war. A high and mighty figure like him only knows how to order us around!”
“The presidential palace and the cabinet must come out and give us an explanation!”
The incident continued to escalate. The heinous abuse and accusations had completely turned into a crime that was set in stone.
No one asked why?
No one questioned the authenticity of the video.
Even more so, no one stood on the opposite side of the issue and considered whether there was anything worth pondering over?
Pushed by public opinion and secretly manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, the voices of the entire Internet became more and more consistent:
“Let’s go to the presidential palace and petition. Gong Jue must be severely punished
“Get him out of the Empire!”
“Get him out of the Empire + 1!”
“Get him out of the Empire + 2!”
..
“Get him out of the Empire + n!”
Countless posts of petitions quickly appeared on the Internet, and the number of people who followed them was often in the hundreds of millions!
Everyone maintained their formation and told Gong Jue to get out of the empire.
It could be said that someone was indeed manipulating public opinion in the beginning.
However, when the emotions of the commoners were truly aroused, there was no need for anyone to deliberately manipulate them.
The nature of humans to trample on the higher ones and worship the lower ones, as well as the cruel and dark psychology of seeing the other party doomed to eternal damnation, all emerged and drove the endless stream of petitions and calls to join in.
It could be said that Gong Jue’s reputation was as high as it had been in the past, and now he was being trampled on as ruthlessly as he could.
And at a time like this, no matter how powerful a man was, it was impossible for him to change everyone’s mind one by one..
Beigong Mingtian sighed as he replayed the video and news, he couldn’t help but shake his head. “Qiqi, you saw it. This is the reality. Gong Jue… He can’t turn over a new leaf. His ERA has come to an end here. What greeted him were charges of treason, intentional homicide, and other crimes, as well as life imprisonment and even the death penalty. This case has already gone to court… Qiqi, come with me. Let’s leave this environment for a period of time, okay? “Otherwise, I’m worried that if you’re discovered, the public will point the finger at you and say that you’re an accomplice, an accomplice, or that you’ve enjoyed his stolen goods…”
Public opinion could use an unbelievable method to send the dust-laden past to everyone’s eyes. It could destroy a person in the fastest time possible.
Gu Qiqi was unmoved. Her eyes were cold and calm. “Is it possible that the video was fake?”
Beigong Mingtian relaxed when he heard this question. “It’s impossible. That video has already been publicly analyzed by the most authoritative video expert. It has been verified and is real…”
Otherwise, Gu Meifeng wouldn’t have the courage to announce it.
