Chapter 718: Chapter 717: Tit for Tat
On Thursday morning, Yan Feifan got out of bed and turned on his phone, which he’d been forced to shut off last night due to harassment. To his surprise, it started ringing again.
The phone screen showed it was another call from an unknown number.
This genuinely angered Yan Feifan, who hadn’t thought much of it the night before.
The harasser was so relentless. ’Do they have a death wish? Don’t they know who they’re messing with?’
He took his phone to the attic terrace and asked Duan Yu, who was up early exercising, if there was a way to stop the harassment and catch the person responsible.
"Mr. Yan, they’re likely using a specific attack program to spam you with calls over the internet."
Duan Yu said thoughtfully, "The military has a cyber warfare unit. They should be able to trace the source of the harassing calls."
"Mr. Yan, I’ll report this to my superiors right away."
Duan Yu took Yan Feifan’s phone and went back to her room.
Yu Suye asked, "Feifan, is this that assistant of Xiao Wenjin’s from last night causing trouble?"
Yan Feifan said indignantly, "It’s almost certainly him. The harassing calls started not long after I rejected his request last night."
After a pause, he asked, "Su Ye, is there any news online? Is that Xiao Wenjin guy badly injured?"
"I hope it’s a really complex and serious injury, and they end up crawling back to me for help. Then we’ll see how I ’treat’ them."
Seeing Yan Feifan’s petty, vengeful expression, Yu Suye said with a smile, "Feifan, your wish probably isn’t going to come true."
"If they dared to offend you like this, the injury must not be serious. It probably doesn’t matter much whether you’re involved or not."
After saying that, Yu Suye ran back to her bedroom.
A moment later, she came back out, her head down as she swiped her finger across her phone screen.
"Feifan, there’s a report online."
"It says Xiao Wenjin lost his footing and fell while filming a show by the sea, accidentally hitting his face on a reef."
"They say his face was covered in blood and it was really scary, but it doesn’t specify how serious the injury is, and no photos have been released."
"An injury from falling and hitting a reef?"
Yan Feifan pictured the scene in his mind and said with some disappointment, "His face would probably just have one or two lacerations a few centimeters long."
"He’d have to be incredibly unlucky to get a large gash ten or twenty centimeters long."
"Even with a wound that big, I wouldn’t need to handle it personally. Plenty of plastic surgeons could fix it up just fine."
Just then, Yu Suye let out a small gasp and handed him her phone with a serious expression.
"Feifan, you need to see this!"
Yan Feifan took the phone and saw a Weibo post from a verified account belonging to a director at Zhesheng Satellite TV.
"Beyond Furious! Exposing the True Colors of a So-Called Genius Doctor!"
"Demanded a private jet for transport? We arranged it!"
"Demanded a million-yuan treatment fee? We agreed!"
"And in the end? He suddenly decided not to come, completely standing up Xiao Wenjin and the rest of us!"
"And the private jet we spent hundreds of thousands to book on short notice... sigh..."
Yan Feifan noticed that the post already had over a hundred thousand combined reposts and comments.
’Is this the influence of a top-tier celebrity?’
’He can stir up some trouble, post something about it on Weibo, and instantly get it trending?’
Yu Suye, noticing Yan Feifan’s expression hadn’t changed much, reminded him anxiously, "Feifan, don’t you realize the doctor they’re talking about in this post is you?"
"Me?"
Yan Feifan shook his head. "How could it be me? I just flat-out refused that assistant’s invitation."
"I never mentioned a private jet or a million-yuan medical fee."
Yu Suye took the phone back, tapped open the comments on the post, and pointed out a few of them to Yan Feifan.
Yan Feifan’s face instantly darkened as he read.
In a reply to someone asking which doctor was so arrogant as to stand up "Brother Jin," the original poster wrote that this person, hailed as a once-in-a-century genius doctor and the number one plastic surgery expert in the country, naturally had the audacity to stand them up and make outrageous demands like a private jet and a million-yuan fee.
Beneath that reply, someone had commented with Yan Feifan’s name.
Yan Feifan scrolled further down the comments and found they were almost entirely accusations and insults directed at him...
A few minutes later, Yan Feifan, Yan Ziruo, Yu Suye, and Duan Yu gathered in the living room to discuss a plan.
Duan Yu reported first, "I’ve already reported the phone harassment to my superior. He said he’ll have people look into it and handle it."
Yan Ziruo nodded and said thoughtfully, "Feifan, too many people know this number. From now on, you should let Duan Yu or Feng Jian handle it."
"Let them screen your calls first and only forward the truly important ones to you."
"You should also get a new phone number that you only give to family, friends, and other important people."
Yan Feifan grunted in agreement.
"As for the false accusations on Weibo..."
Yan Ziruo’s expression turned cold. "I’ll contact Mr. Jiang later. He can issue a lawyer’s statement on your behalf and start collecting evidence."
"We have to sue him, sue that bastard..."
Yan Ziruo said with great disappointment, "The penalty for spreading rumors in this country is too low. Otherwise, I’d make sure he goes bankrupt."
Yan Feifan was furious over the accusations and insults on Weibo.
Much of the language used was vile, and some of it even surpassed the limits of his imagination.
As for that director, the instigator of all this, Yan Feifan truly hated him so much his teeth itched.
"Sis, I’m going to contact the National Security Department."
"Spreading rumors might only get him a minor punishment, but I refuse to believe a person of his character hasn’t done other illegal things."
"I’ll dig up everything on him. I’m going to make sure he receives a punishment severe enough to regret for the rest of his life..."
After the brief meeting, they each went their separate ways to take action.
Yan Feifan used Yu Suye’s phone to dial 1103141.
This time, the phone rang three times before it was answered.
"I have something I need your help with."
"Mr. Yan, go ahead!"
It was Li Yun’s voice. Yan Feifan could tell it was laced with sleepiness.
"Sorry to bother you while you’re resting, but this whole thing has me furious."
"Someone posted false information on Weibo, slandering me. Now, hundreds of thousands of people are cursing me out online."
"I want you to help me investigate the guy who started the rumors. Dig into his entire family history, find every bad thing he and his family have ever done. I want him to receive a sufficiently severe punishment."
"Li Yun, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Yun replied through the phone, "Mr. Yan, I understand. We’ll handle it with maximum severity, within the bounds of the rules."
"Mr. Yan, I’ll report this matter, along with your wishes, to my superior in full detail."
Yan Feifan emphasized, "Li Yun, I don’t start fights, but I finish them. If someone crosses me, I’ll pay them back tenfold, an eye for an eye..."
His mood severely soured by the incident, Yan Feifan had no appetite for breakfast.
However, knowing he had surgery today, he forced himself to eat something...
A little after seven in the morning, Duan Yu drove the Cayenne, carrying Yan Feifan and Yu Suye to the Affiliated Hospital.
Just as the Cayenne entered the hospital gates, someone suddenly pointed at the car and shouted, "That’s the unscrupulous doctor’s car!"
Following the shout, dozens of young men and women, boys and girls, swarmed out from all directions.
They completely surrounded the Cayenne, shouting insults as they pounded on the car’s body and windows.
Someone even started scratching the car’s body with a sharp object.
A moment later, someone climbed onto the stationary Cayenne.
More and more people climbed on!
As many as a dozen of them stood on the hood and roof, jumping up and down forcefully...
