Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

The incident of the death at Sun's Restaurant was left unresolved, but the restaurant's reputation plummeted because of the incident.

Although the police have already ruled that there was insufficient evidence and that Sun's Restaurant does not have to pay compensation, the public's trust will never be restored.

Some people think that the lack of evidence does not mean that the restaurant has no problems, just like the situation of "innocent until proven guilty" in the criminal law. Some people also suspect that Sun's Restaurant used its "money power" to suppress the incident, and the deceased's family was poor and unable to resist, so they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

So when Sun's Restaurant reorganized for a period of time and reopened, its business was not as good as before. However, the surrounding big hotels and small restaurants were very happy. Diners who went to other restaurants would talk about Sun's Restaurant.

In addition, the discussion about this incident on the Internet has been heated for a long time. The deceased's son, daughter-in-law and grandson have used this incident as a gimmick and have become Internet celebrities one by one.

At this time, they no longer obsessed with the fact that they failed to use the death of their family members to extort a huge amount of compensation from Sun's Restaurant, but instead reached out to the pockets of the majority of netizens. The focus of discussion also shifted from that incident to the local reputation of Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie, as well as the current sensational case of child swapping.

This family has become the main force in the online crusade against Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, saying that they hold a huge fortune but do not care about the life and death of their adopted son; that they are selfish and cold-blooded, and immediately cut off contact with their adopted son after recognizing him as their biological parent; that they deliberately make things difficult for the adopted son's impoverished biological parents...

This brought Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin into a new round of greater online violence, forcing them to publicly reveal their faces on the Internet and deny the false remarks.

However, this bland excuse did not quickly reverse his reputation, but instead attracted more people to pay attention to the incident.

In this society, there are many poor people, and the rich have become the thorn in the eyes of many poor people. The widening gap between the rich and the poor has also caused the hatred of the rich to spread rapidly.

Although Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin cannot be considered a wealthy family, they are considered middle class. Their family conditions make many netizens feel unbalanced.

Especially after their adopted son and his biological parents raised donations through various channels for his medical treatment, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin's reputation took a sharp turn for the worse. Their statement that they would not pay for their adopted son's medical treatment was recognized by many people.

At this time, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin had to think of other ways to get out of this dilemma. On the one hand, the younger generations of the Yuan and Sun families were responsible for collecting evidence of the rumors, slander, insults and threats spread by the cyber trolls; on the other hand, Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin reported to the police because they could not visit Sun Xiaohao and lost contact with him, hoping to break the deadlock.

However, after investigation, the police replied that Sun Xiaohao himself did not want to see them at the moment, so they could do nothing about it.

Why is this happening? Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin are puzzled. They think they have never done anything to let Sun Xiaohao down, so why is he hiding from them at this time? Does he really have no feelings at all? Or maybe he was bewitched by his biological parents and wanted to draw a clear line with this side.

Sun Xiaohao was in a good mood at this time. There were voices of sympathy and praise for him everywhere on the Internet, while many people were attacking Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin. This situation was exactly what he wanted to see.

Since childhood, the two of them have criticized and blamed him whenever they encountered the slightest thing. How much mental trauma has he suffered? Even if there are many times when he thinks there is nothing wrong with his actions, he still has to receive a lecture for no reason. He has tolerated them for a long time.

This time, it’s time for them to have a taste of what it feels like to be denounced and criticized.

Although his heart was pounding when he first saw the news that someone was killed in Sun's Restaurant, he was also frightened by the bold actions of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou.

But after just a few days, the matter was no longer reported, and his inner guilt completely disappeared. Looking at the direction of public opinion on the Internet, his mood instantly improved, and he felt that all the uncomfortable feelings in his body were not so obvious.

But there was one thing that made him not very satisfied.

The title deed to the house that Zhan Jinhua promised to give him has not been delivered yet.

He called to ask about it, but the other party kept making excuses. It seemed like they were playing a trick on him. He thought it was time to use his trump card to force them.

He once asked Lin Ning: "Reporter Lin, why can't I find the video of the interview on the Internet? I still want to keep some video footage of me and my parents, but I don't know where to watch it."

Lin Ning replied: "Xiaohao, I'm sorry, this is what our leader wants. If you want the video, I'll send it to you later."

Just like that, these family recognition videos disappeared inexplicably before the majority of netizens could react, but after they fell into the hands of Sun Xiaohao, they reappeared in the public eye.

Of course, this video was not posted online by Sun Xiaohao himself. Instead, he selected several big online anchors who were currently paying attention to the child-swap case and asked them to edit it appropriately, trying to cut out the shots related to Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, and then posted the video.

However, two big anchors did not follow the instructions and sent out the video as it was, which received a large number of likes, comments and reposts, pushing the situation to another climax. Some anchors also analyzed the video and found some tricks in the recognition video.

For example, the interaction between Yuan Jie, Sun Aimin, Sun Xiaohao and the two children was very cordial and natural. At that time, Sun Xiaohao even praised the two of them, saying that they spared no effort to save her.

Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou did not show the excitement of recognizing their own children and grandchildren. Instead, they were very calm. They also said some inappropriate words that made people feel very uncomfortable.

In this way, although Sun Xiaohao's move achieved his desired goal of pushing Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou to the forefront, it also quickly reversed the reputation of Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin.

This kind of result was not what he wanted. He wanted both sets of parents to be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion and to be criticized by the majority of netizens. He himself was the most innocent and pitiful. Why didn't things go in the direction he had preset?

At this time, he had not yet foreseen that this operation, which he thought was clever, brought him one step closer to death.
