Chapter 103: Opinions
The scale of the protest grew larger and larger. The ordinary people consciously joined the silent protesters. They sat under the scorching sun and in the pouring rain, refusing to move even when night fell…
On the university campus, many students have joined the protest as well.
Although the professors had repeatedly instructed the students to focus on their lessons and not to waste their energy elsewhere, how could the students still have the mood to continue with their lessons?
Some people took advantage of the fact that they had no classes to protest at the police station’s entrance, while others ignored them and skipped all their classes to stay in the open space outside the police station.
Yu Yao noticed that the number of students in the classroom was decreasing. Many university students liked to skip classes to begin with, but these two days, the number of students in the classroom had already reached a level that was difficult to ignore.
The professors on the podium also stopped taking attendance. Every time the bell rang, they would dryly explain their lessons. They no longer tried to liven up the atmosphere like before. The students who had come to class with Yu Yao were also quiet.
The atmosphere in the empty classroom was stifling.
After the bell rang, the professor on the podium packed up his things. He looked around at the few students in the classroom, shook his head helplessly, and sighed. He left the classroom without assigning any homework.
The other students also left in groups.
Yu Yao was packing her bag when someone stood beside her seat.
“Yu Yao, many people in class have gone to the police station to protest…”
Yu Yao looked up at the conflicted Yuan Qing. “What are you trying to say?”
Yuan Qing sat beside Yu Yao and leaned on the table in frustration. She buried her face in her arms and said gloomily, “Someone in the fan group suggested that we participate in the protest, but the other big fans all said that we can’t cause trouble for Brother. Things aren’t clear yet, so we can’t pressure the police like the others, but I really can’t accept this…”
Yu Yao frowned slightly and asked, “Do you want to participate in the demonstration in the name of Yu Jue’s fans?”
Yuan Qing nodded and said, “Now, many people are attacking Brother on the Internet. Song Ci’s fans have also been trying to drag Brother down. They all say that our Brother is the same as Song Ci and has participated in many crimes because Brother has even more convenient conditions than Song Ci. After all, the mental hospital has always been funded by the Yu family. I want to do something for Brother. I want to tell others that Brother is different from Song Ci!”
“Of course he’s different from that Song Ci.” Yu Yao recalled Yu Jue’s silliness and chuckled. “He’s just a fool who doesn’t know anything. His sense of justice is also the strongest among my three brothers. If he knew that the mental hospital was like that, he would have made this matter known to the world long ago.”
Yuan Qing sat up happily and stared at Yu Yao with sparkling eyes. “I knew it. Brother is different from those people. He definitely won’t associate with criminals! Yu Yao, do you want to join me and participate in this protest as Brother’s fan?”
Contrary to Yuan Qing’s expectations, Yu Yao, who trusted Yu Jue’s character very much, shook her head and rejected her suggestion. “I don’t intend to do that. The current situation isn’t because the police aren’t doing anything. If we go and protest to the police, it will only increase their pressure. It doesn’t help in arresting the criminals at all.”
Yuan Qing lowered her head sadly. “Then what should we do? Let those criminals escape the law? Although Su He isn’t my idol, I’ve interacted with some of Su He’s fans on the Internet. Some of their radical fans have already declared that they will blow up the police station and kill those criminals to get justice for Su He.”
Yu Yao stopped packing. “Has there been a lot of such radical fan talk recently?”
Yuan Qing nodded and said, “Not much at first. You know that Su He has already disappeared for so many years. Even if there were many brainless fans in the past, those fans are already very old. Most of them have already married and had children. Once they have a family, their love for their idols won’t be as crazy. But ever since some fans tidied up Su He’s videos and photos, and many people fell in love with her again, those radical statements were created.”
Yuan Qing had a very sad expression on her face as she said gloomily, “Actually, I can empathize with those fans very much. If Brother was in trouble, I probably wouldn’t be able to maintain my rationality and would also want to kill everyone who hurt him. Yu Yao, you can understand this feeling, right?”
Yu Yao didn’t accuse Yuan Qing of being too crazy. Instead, she muttered to herself thoughtfully, “It’s very normal to want to kill a criminal who hurt your idol, but to want to blow up a police station, are these fans venting their anger, or are they trying to create chaos?”
