Later that day.
A flood of new posts and articles began circulating online, painting Qiao Jun as an overbearing and manipulative figure who had orchestrated the exposure of the water army to protect Yu Holea.
Headlines like "Qiao Jun: The Puppet Master Behind the Yu Family Drama?" and "Is Qiao Jun Exploiting His Power to Shield Yu Holea?" dominated the trending searches.
But this time, the public wasn't so easily swayed.
Sharp-eyed netizens quickly noticed inconsistencies in the sudden narrative shift.
Many questioned why the Yu family was deflecting attention from their own actions instead of addressing the Water Army scandal.
One particularly damning post read:
"If Qiao Jun exposed the water army, then isn't he just revealing the truth? Why are Mr. Yu and Yu Mei trying to vilify him instead of explaining themselves? Suspicious."
