Just one day later, the video's popularity surged to new heights, even landing a spot on the trending headlines.
Million-follower beauty influencer Tang Niu also addressed Xu Lan and her mother's situation during her livestream that day. Sitting in front of the camera while applying foundation with a powder puff, she casually remarked,
"I just had a chat with that poor mother and daughter. Honestly, foreign countries are so much better—they respect vulnerable groups, support women, and are safer..."
As soon as Tang Niu finished speaking, the chat exploded with comments echoing her sentiment:
"Wow, Tang Niu looks stunning as always!"
"If only I could be reborn abroad. No chance in this lifetime."
"Tang Niu, please help them! That girl is so pitiful, beaten up like that."
"Tang Niu, you look like a fairy today!"
Seeing the flood of compliments, Tang Niu smirked, finishing her signature bold makeup look before pursing her bright red lips and declaring, "Of course I’ll help that mother and daughter. Men like that are just disgusting..."
She then made her trademark exaggerated eye-roll, instantly prompting another wave of "6666" spam in the chat.
However, a few dissenting voices soon appeared:
"I just saw another angle of the video. That mother and daughter don’t seem like good people either."
"Yeah, I saw it too. They were hurling some nasty insults."
Tang Niu noticed these comments and quickly searched for the alternative footage. After watching, she scoffed dismissively, "Women are inherently vulnerable. They were just protecting themselves."
Her statement immediately garnered support:
"Exactly! If you don’t strike first, others will walk all over you!"
"I don’t think the mother and daughter did anything wrong. Those injuries couldn’t possibly be self-inflicted!"
"Why wait to get hurt before fighting back? Proactive self-defense is totally valid, sis!"
Tang Niu continued nonchalantly, "Don’t overthink it. There’s no way this story will flip. If it does, I’ll quit the internet for good."
Her bold declaration only fueled the fire, pushing the incident’s popularity even higher.
Under her and other beauty influencers’ lead, self-proclaimed "justice warriors" launched a crusade, digging up information on Ye Shuang and his group.
But soon, many began noticing inconsistencies.
Then, someone uncovered a bombshell: the mother and daughter were relatives of the amusement park murderer from a while back!
The amusement park case hadn’t initially gained nationwide attention—until footage of An Shiyu, dressed in a Pikachu mascot suit, executing a flawless judo throw went viral.
Learning that the tearful mother and daughter were the killer’s family instantly cast the situation in a new light.
"Wait, didn’t the woman claim her brother was framed and imprisoned?"
"Does wielding a knife and attacking people look like someone who was wronged? She kept slashing even after being restrained!"
"Hold up, doesn’t that bystander look like the guy from the mother-daughter’s video?"
"Damn, you’re right. Same handsome face."
As skepticism grew, more footage from different angles surfaced, including Ye Shuang’s explanation to his students. The videos clearly showed Xu Lan threatening others first and instigating the fight—completely contradicting her claim of being "unprovoked."
The mother and daughter were far from innocent!
"Unbelievable. These people are straight-up scammers! What kind of morals is this?"
"66666, I’m speechless. I lost sleep over this, sharing their story everywhere, only to realize they’re the real villains?"
"Son stabs people, then the family extorts money from the victims? This is next-level audacity."
"How dare they play the victim while acting like aggressive thugs?"
"Fck, I even donated 50 bucks to them! Threw it straight into the gutter!"
"Told you to let the dust settle first. How many times have we seen stories flip this year? Remember that ‘poverty-stricken’ kid who blew cash on games but ‘couldn’t afford Coke’?"
Overnight, the internet erupted, with public opinion swinging overwhelmingly against Xu Lan.
Meanwhile, Xu Lan herself was still gleefully collecting red envelopes in group chats, grinning ear-to-ear while sending tearful voice messages: "Thank you, kind strangers! I’ll repay you someday!"
"Mom, this is insane! We made 100,000 in a single day!" Xu Lan had initially only wanted to rally netizens against Ye Shuang but never expected it to be so profitable.
"Hurry up and open a new group! This one’s full!" Her mother lay on the bed, counting the money with dollar signs in her eyes. "At this rate, we’ll be in a villa by next month!"
Xu Lan puffed up proudly. "See? I told you the internet’s where the money’s at. You wanted me to work in a factory twisting screws!"
"Fine, fine, I believe you now! Transfer the money to me—I’ll show it off in the group!"
Just as Xu Lan was about to send the cash, she noticed hundreds of new messages flooding in, all @-ing her.
"More red envelopes?" she mused, opening the chat—only to find a barrage of curses. Stunned, she kicked a few users out.
But the hate kept pouring in, even from people who’d donated earlier. Overnight, they’d turned against her.
Panicking, Xu Lan sent a voice message, whimpering, "Why is everyone suddenly mad at me?"
The response? Hundreds of voice clips cursing her out in every regional dialect imaginable.
"What’s happening?!" Xu Lan gaped at the screen, only for her mother to hurl a slipper at her head, snarling,
"Stop daydreaming and transfer the damn money! Trying to pocket it for yourself?!"
"Mom, the netizens figured us out..."
"So what? Just block them!"
"I can’t keep up!" The messages skyrocketed into the thousands, an endless sea of vitriol.
Frantically, Xu Lan called her influencer friend.
"Hey, babe, why is everyone suddenly attacking me?"
"Ugh, what did you expect? If you’re gonna spin lies, at least make them believable! Now you’ve been exposed down to your last thread—and you dragged me into it! You’re on your own!"
"But—" The call ended before Xu Lan could finish.
When she tried calling back, she realized she’d been blocked.
Then, a knock came at the door.
"Police. Open up."
