The victims of the accident were members of the most prominent family of Ye City, which resulted in the media being all over the news. The media could not wait to dig out all the skeletons from the Ye family closet after this accident. There were also many reports and comments via online media.
They dug up Ye Hao's ancestry, including his identification number, private pictures, or screenshots of his WeChat moments and plastered them all over the internet.
Some media outlets reported that Ye Hao was not an illegitimate son. Rather, he was the son of Ye Zhiyuan and his ex-wife, Xia Jingshu, which made him the true eldest son of the Ye family. According to the media, Ye Zhiyuan and Xia Jingshu had registered their marriage but did not hold a wedding ceremony. Furthermore, they divorced after six months, so most people were not aware that Ye Zhiyuan had such a short-lived marriage 30 years ago.
