The staggering one billion yuan compensation from Yun Liquor drew the attention of a massive number of netizens to the case.
By the next morning, the news had virtually reached every corner of the internet.
All netizens were eagerly awaiting the outcome, wondering if the victim would actually receive one billion yuan in compensation.
At 9:15 AM, a sudden interview video exploded online.
The content was the self-confession process of Li Zhong, with journalists, police officers, and Li Zhong himself, detailing for everyone the cause and process of Li Zhong's attempt at scamming Yun Liquor.
The incident had a huge impact, and with Qiao Yu fanning the flames, the video's popularity surged as soon as it was released.
The unexpected turn of events left the internet users shocked.
However, Yun Liquor's popularity soared because of this controversy, especially the constant "ding-dong" of order confirmations in Yun Liquor's online store.
