Zhao Guangming pushed his reflective reading glasses up the bridge of his nose and declared emphatically, "There's a mole!"

The trending topic hung at the top of the trend list, firmly in place. In just a few hours, it had already exceeded three hundred million views.

Phones of all the experts, hospital doctors, and nurses were ringing off the hook, all calls coming from journalists making inquiries.
Haicheng Daily, which published the news first, gained a million followers overnight.
