The online battle about Chen Ziyue was going on with full vigor and enthusiasm. It was like people didn't have any other job other than to talk about the current issue surrounding Chen Ziyue. They were so interested in her life that they couldn't stop bashing her, speaking ill about her, and threatening her.
Many believed An Mei's video and supposed her in this battle of online comments. Many even went to the lengths of commenting on different laws against domestic violence. All of them wanted to sue her for beating her servant and using violence against her maids.
While there were still a few who thought that all of this was a publicity stunt to whitewash her image and give her a way to make a comeback. Whatever it was, people were still waiting with eagerness for the battle to take another turn.
"Chen Ziyue, you shameless woman!!!! Come out and apologize for your actions."
"Hey, what do you think will happen next?"
"I don't know. But, it doesn't look like Chen Ziyue is going to apologize. She is an arrogant woman and she would never apologize for her actions. That poor maid!!!! My heart just feels so sad for her...."
"Mine too. Just because she comes from a humble background doesn't mean she deserves to be treated like that."
"Yessssss... We all should support An Mei and see to it, that she gets justice against this shameless and dirty woman, Chen Ziyue."
"Yes!!!! #Justice for An Mei."
"Hey guys, have you all forgotten about Chen Ziyue's big background. She is the daughter of the Chen family which means she can easily get out of this mess."
"Oh no!!!!! What????"
"So what if she has money? So what if she has a big background? Laws and rules are the same for everyone. Those who do wrong deserve to be punished. #Punish Chen Ziyue."
"Yes, you are correct. #Punish Chen Ziyue."
Soon, #Punish Chen Ziyue was trending all over the net. Everyone who was paying attention to the current situation wanted Chen Ziyue to be punished for her deeds. Suddenly, at this moment, a post was posted on Weibo that was silent for the past two years.
ChenZiyue: "Hello, everyone. It feels nice to be back once again. I know, right now, every one of you is upset and angry with me. I can understand your feelings because you feel that I have betrayed your trust in me. I have done wrong things. But I have not broken anyone's trust. I have not done anything wrong. It's said that no matter how much you try to hide the truth, it will eventually get revealed one day. My truth will also be revealed one day.
For now, I simply want to clarify the matter regarding my ex-maid. After I got discharged from the hospital, I hired An Mei along with another maid to work for me. Because of a few reasons, I had to fire her. But, I did not beat her to mistreat her whatsoever. She is lying and using innocent people's trust to blackmail me. I hope everyone can see the real truth behind all these white lies.
On another note, this is not a publicity stunt. Because, if I wanted to make a publicity stunt, I think I can do better than that. Thank you all for your understanding. "
An audio recording of the conversation between Chen Ziyue and An Mei was attracted to the post. As soon as the post was uploaded, netizens noticed it. Immediately, everyone responded and likes, comments, and responses were being bombarded below her post.

" Wow!!!!! Just what did I hear? Is this true?"
"Damn..... I never thought that this girl was lying. 20 million for such a stupid lie???? Is this girl crazy or what?"
"Dammit!!!! This crazy girl dared to play with our innocent feelings. How dare she???? I am so mad. Thinking that she was mistreated, I supported her. And, what did she do? She was blackmailing Chen Ziyue and lying to us the whole time. Ah!!!! I am so mad."
"If I ever see this girl again, I will slap her instead. How dare she do this to us????"
"It is just me or anyone else who also thinks that there is a high possibility that audio recording can be a fake one?"
"I agree. I think this is a fake audio recording. Just listen to that tone of Chen Ziyue. It sounds too sweet and kind on my ears. Does anyone else feel the same?"
"I do!!!!"
"I do too!!!! Even her post seems kinder and sweeter as compared to her previous post before the incident. This Chen Ziyue seems like a fake one. Did she change after the incident? Or is this another drama of hers?"
"Pftt... What change? A woman like Chen Ziyue can never change. She is simply trying to manipulate us into believing her. But, I am not falling for her trap. Don't forget, she is Chen Ziyue, a shameless and dirty woman who can go to any lengths to get what she wants. Creating a fake audio recording is too easy for her."
"Yes, you are correct. I still support An Mei over Chen Ziyue."
"Me too. Chen Ziyue is a bug liar. I don't believe her. #Justice for An Mei continues...."
"#Justice for An Mei..."
Meanwhile, in a small bedroom, in another part of the city, An Mei was anxiously waiting for the money to arrive in her account. She was quite confident that Chen Ziyue would obediently give her the money because she had the upper hand. And it was all thanks to Chen Ziyue's bad reputation, fooling the people and using them for her benefit was extremely easy.
Just thinking about the amount of money she would receive, An Mei couldn't stop laughing. At first, she had no plan to blackmail Chen Ziyue. But, after talking with that unknown person who was supporting her against Chen Ziyue, she changed her mind.
The unknown person had already given her a high sum of money to lie against Chen Ziyue. But, it didn't seem enough. Chen Ziyue was a rich woman.
If she can use this situation to blackmail her, then why not do it?
