#Xiao Yemin Abused Employees#

Yi Tiantian scrolled through the shocking trending hashtags, took a deep breath, and finally clicked on the official statement hashtag.

The first thing that caught his eye was a blue and white police announcement.

The main content of the announcement described the general course of events of the incident and the consequences. It also clearly stated that a large dose of drugs had been found in the body of the murderer, an extra named Xiao Lu.

With the security footage from the scene and the testimonies of the staff present, the police believe Xiao Lu lost control after using drugs, leading to the murders.

However, the source of the drugs had not been disclosed to the public.

Yi Tiantian, however, was well aware of where these drugs had come from.

"The Dusk Society has been responsible for countless atrocities! They sell drugs worldwide, causing so many tragic incidents like this."

"Liu Liu and the others had ties to the Dusk Society before they died, so their drugs were obtained from the Dusk Society!"

"This drug causes extreme aggression by boosting adrenaline, leading people to act irrationally and violently."

"They didn't realize how dangerous the drug was, but in the end, they paid the price for their choices."

After a long sigh, Yi Tiantian exited the interface of the trending hashtag and clicked into the first one, #Extra Kills Lead Actors#.

To his horror, he discovered a leaked video of the murder scene, its source unknown.

When Yi Tiantian opened the video, it immediately showed the most brutal part of the incident—

At this point, Xiao Lu had completely lost his sanity and raised his gun towards the three people in front of him.

After three gunshots, the three who had been standing there fell straight back like lifeless shells.

Then, for some reason, Xiao Lu wobbled and raised the gun again, pulling the trigger directly into his temple.

The video also showed the crowd in the background, who stood frozen in shock before panicking and running in all directions.

Though the video had no sound, one could feel the despair from the other side of the lens.

Just watching the video made Yi Tiantian furrow his brow tightly.

Scrolling through the comments, Yi Tiantian saw that many people shared his feelings.

"Liu Liu RIP: I can't believe a deranged man like this took my brother's life. I wish I could bring him back just to finish the job myself!"

"Little Sheep Susi: The scene is too horrifying! The man with the gun has clearly lost all rationality! I saw in the official statement that he was on drugs, and now seeing this, it really looks like it! We really need to stay away from drugs!!!"

Game I Only Play xxxx: But didn't you guys notice? This video looks a lot like one from a previous trending hashtag! Does anyone remember? It's about Yi Tiantian! The background seems to be the same place too!

Knock for Health: I remember the one you're talking about!!! Are you referring to the hashtag called #Yi Tiantian Heroically Eliminates Enemies#? I recall there was a security camera video in that hashtag, but for some reason, the hashtag and the video disappeared quickly!!

More and more people commented, saying they also remembered that video. Some even saved the video and posted it in the comments.

Now, those who hadn't seen the hashtag got to see the video of Yi Tiantian evading through narrow paths in the slaughterhouse.

Everyone was astonished.

Knock for Health: At first, I thought it was a behind-the-scenes clip, but now it's actually quite unsettling! Because this is clearly a real record of Yi Tiantian "heroically eliminating enemies!" The person chasing him in the video is the murderer this time!

The commenters were like explorers discovering new territory, each expressing surprise at the dramatic twist they hadn’t considered before.

Yi Tiantian actually fought off his attackers!

Many people began to respect him, and as a result, his Weibo gained another 100,000 fans.

But Yi Tiantian wasn’t particularly bothered by the attention. What he cared about now was the purpose behind the Dusk Society releasing these videos.

Could it be to create a good image for him, someone about to join the Dusk Society, in front of the public?

Surprisingly, the security footage hadn’t damaged his reputation. Instead, it attracted even more fans.

So, it seemed the Dusk Society's purpose could only be this!

After all, Yi Tiantian had now entered the Dusk Society's evaluation stage and could be considered half an insider.

Thinking about it, Yi Tiantian tried to revisit the slaughterhouse footage, only to find that the video had been taken down.

It seemed the video had been removed from the internet completely.

Since the video involved blood and violence, it was normal for it to be taken down.

By this time, it was already evening. The sunlight streamed through the windows, filling the room. After looking at trending hashtags all day, Yi Tiantian felt a bit dizzy. He stood up to stretch and clear his head.

Just as he was about to dive back into the trending hashtags, the doorbell rang downstairs.

He put down his phone, slipped into his slippers, and went down to open the door.

As soon as Yi Tiantian opened the door, Yueyue and Yangyang walked in excitedly.

"Hey, Yi, you're here! Why didn't you answer our messages earlier?" Yueyue asked curiously, tilting her head as she looked at him.

"Ah, maybe I was too engrossed in my phone just now, so I didn't see your messages," Yi Tiantian said, a bit embarrassed, as he scratched the back of his head.

He had been too absorbed in the online drama to notice any messages from others.

"Well, it's okay. We brought—" Yueyue raised a white plastic bag containing several packs of instant noodles and said excitedly to Yi Tiantian.

Yangyang then continued, "Spicy Ramen Set!"

"Nice job, guys! We practiced the slogan on the way over, and Yangyang was shy about speaking up at first!" Yueyue added.

Yueyue beamed at Yi Tiantian, clearly pleased with how formal Yangyang was acting.

Yangyang gave a shy smile.

They chatted and laughed as they walked into the villa.

As soon as Yangyang entered the villa, he very consciously went into the kitchen to prepare today's dinner, while Yueyue politely asked if he needed any help.

"No need, you two just go and have fun outside," Yangyang said with a slight smile, his thin lips gently curling.

"It would be too boring for you to stay in the kitchen by yourself. We should come over and keep you company."

Whenever Yangyang visited, he always headed straight for the kitchen to be alone. So, Yi Tiantian felt a bit guilty and decided to join Yangyang in the kitchen, along with Yueyue, this time.

"Then you can just sit aside; I'll do the cooking myself," Yangyang said, already fluently taking an apron off the wall and skillfully putting it on.

His movements were fluid and confident, clearly those of an experienced cook.

While Yangyang cooked, Yueyue and Yi Tiantian scrolled through their phones, browsing the trending hashtags.

Yi Tiantian resumed scrolling through the trending hashtags he hadn’t finished reading.

"I heard that Liu Liu and Zu Xiaohua didn’t make it after the rescue efforts failed, and they’re already preparing for the funerals."

Yueyue let out a long sigh. It was the most shocking thing she had ever experienced.

Liu Liu and his wife were alive and well right before her eyes, but now they were just cold bodies...

"Liu Liu and the others took a huge risk, so it's possible they ended up reaping what they sowed!"

"But it seems their fates are intertwined, even in death."

Yi Tiantian couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.

Both Yueyue and Yangyang agreed. This couple really was a case of mutual agreement, where both parties were willing participants.

Now Yi Tiantian no longer feared that Liu Liu would be beaten to death by his wife, Zu Xiaohua.

"Hey Yi, did you see what's trending online? Someone posted a video from the hotel showing Zu Xiaohua hitting Liu Liu!"

Unable to contain herself, Yueyue immediately shared what she had seen after hearing Yi Tiantian.

Yi Tiantian clicked on the trending post and found the hotel's security footage.

In the video, the door to their room was wide open, and they were initially out of frame. As the security footage shook, Liu Liu was suddenly kicked out of the room. Then, Zu Xiaohua walked out of the room with an arrogant expression.

On its own, this might not have been enough to classify as domestic abuse, but then Zu Xiaohua started slapping Liu Liu fiercely.

Faced with his wife's brutality, Liu Liu knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, without any sign of resistance.

The video ended there, and the account that posted it claimed the footage came from the hotel where the crew was staying, vouching for its authenticity.

The comments section erupted with reactions.

Chunmianbujuexiao: ??? So the domestic abuser was someone else! I knew someone with Liu Liu's personality couldn't possibly be an abuser! I didn't expect that the real abuser wasn't him!

I love eating Rosy Powder: From now on, everything is clear for me! I’ve never scolded Liu Liu before, and those who agree with me, please give me a like!

Only birds that can fly are good birds: I didn’t expect the person committing domestic violence to be Zu Xiaohua! She’s really heartless! How could she be so cruel?! That’s her husband!

Indeed, everyone started to vindicate Liu Liu, with many expressing that they had wrongly blamed him before.

"Who leaked this security footage?! Normally, apart from the police and the hotel, no one else should have access to the hotel's surveillance footage!"

"Could it be..."

After searching through the system, Yi Tiantian came to a startling conclusion.

"It turns out that this video was deliberately leaked by someone from the Dusk Society!"

"But why would they help clear Liu Liu's name?!"

"This is too strange! Could there be good people within the Dusk Society?!"

Although Yi Tiantian didn’t understand, he was greatly shocked.

Upon hearing Yi Tiantian’s words, Yueyue was very satisfied, as she had once again successfully gotten some juicy gossip!

However, the notorious Dusk Society actually helped clarify the truth?

Is the world turning upside down?!

Yang Yang, who was cooking over there, heard Yi Tiantian’s words and slightly curled his lips, seemingly thinking of something.

"However, Xiao Yemin did not die; she just ended up in a coma. I read the report saying that it seems unlikely for her to wake up again in the future."

At this point, Yueyue didn’t notice Yang Yang’s somewhat strange expression and instead threw out another piece of information, trying to get more juicy details from Yi Tiantian.

Sure enough, Yi Tiantian found more information about Xiao Yemin’s fate in the system.

"Xiao Yemin has been in a coma due to a brain injury and is now in a vegetative state, lying in bed."

"Her family hired an expensive nurse for her, but unexpectedly, this nurse was an employee who had been abused by Xiao Yemin before!"

"So, in Xiao Yemin’s long remaining life, the nurse began her revenge..."

[Later, more employees who had been abused by Xiao Yemin heard about this and went to the hospital to offer their most sincere "blessings."]

"Xiao Yemin is getting exactly what she deserves! She probably never thought she’d end up like this when she was abusing her employees!"

Yueyue was loving every minute of it—this cruel capitalist got exactly what she deserved!

"Moreover, a video of Xiao Yemin beating her employees on set was also exposed online!"

Handing the phone to Yi Tiantian, Yueyue said gossipingly.

In the video, Xiao Yemin is frowning intensely as she swings her handbag at the assistants standing in front of her.

The assistants stood in place, biting their teeth and holding back tears, trembling and not daring to resist.

There was even sound in this video of Xiao Yemin, so everyone could clearly hear her shrill voice.

"You’re nothing but dogs to me! You’ll take whatever I dish out!"

Her words sent chills down everyone’s spine.

Yi Tiantian searched through the trending hashtags and soon found the same video.

The comment section was in an uproar.

Gotta Go Potty: Isn't Xiao Yemin supposed to be an independent strong woman? But being independent doesn't justify violence, does it? She's terrifying! Even more brutal than my previous boss!

Cherry Blossom Rain: As someone who has experienced workplace bullying, I used to genuinely admire Xiao Yemin. Now I feel deeply betrayed!

Love Your Smile: I can't believe Xiao Yemin is like this?! Anyone who became her employee is really unlucky! No wonder her company had a high turnover rate. I thought those who quit were just fools! But now it seems they probably couldn't stand the workplace bullying anymore!

Yi Tiantian scrolled through the comments and saw that Xiao Yemin's past misdeeds were being exposed by netizens one by one.

Xiao Yemin's image as an independent strong woman collapsed, replaced by the detestable image of a capitalist.

Another marketing account, similar in style to the one that exposed Liu Liu, had posted this video.

He could almost immediately tell that this video was secretly shot by a member of the Dusk Society.

"It turns out this video was secretly shot by a member of the Dusk Society, and they were the ones who released the truth online!"

"But why did they do this?"

Yi Tiantian was utterly perplexed.

Yueyue couldn't understand why the usually deadly Dusk Society would step forward to help the victim this time.

By the time they finished their gossip session, Yang Yang had finished making the spicy Korean noodles, which were now emitting an enticing aroma.

"This should be pretty spicy, right? I've never had this kind of noodle before."

Yi Tiantian looked at the steaming, fiery-red noodles on the table and couldn't help but swallow.

"I picked a milder version, so it should taste just right."

Yang Yang patiently answered while taking off his apron.

"Wow, everyone, sit down quickly! I'm so eager to eat!"

Yi Tiantian said with a smile as he looked at everyone.

Yueyue took out a few drinks from the fridge and placed them on the table. "If it's too spicy, drink this."

They dug into the spicy noodles, enjoying every bite. Though it wasn't very spicy, Yi Tiantian still finished a can of drink.

After they finished eating, Yueyue suddenly remembered something and smacked her forehead.

"Oh right, Brother Cheng seemed to have asked me to tell you something before I came here..."

Yang Yang chimed in, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "Before coming here, Brother Cheng specifically told us to inform you about this. It's about a documentary shoot."

"Documentary shoot? So the movie didn't work out, and now it's a documentary?"

Yi Tiantian asked with great interest.

"Yes, but this documentary is likely for a charitable cause. It mainly captures the daily life of an elementary school student with ADHD. The documentary team invited you, Yi, because they hope more people will pay attention to this issue."

Without a second thought, Yi Tiantian agreed as soon as he heard it was for charity.

Since he had some influence in this world, he didn't mind using it to help others.

"But the journey to school is full of dangers!"

"Hiss..."

Yueyue and Yang Yang watched as Yi Tiantian's face turned pale, speechless.

Is what happens next even worse than the incident at the slaughterhouse?!
