Chapter 347 - Fang Qiu Had Beaten Someone Up! (1/2)

Chapter 347 Fang Qiu Had Beaten Someone Up!A post appeared on Weibo that very night just as the debate about Fang Qiu and his Qigong practice intensified.

An anonymous Weibo user had uploaded a post online.

“Today I personally witnessed Fang Qiu who refused to see the error of his ways and continued to spread such old-fashioned superstition by leading several students in a Qigong practice session. I, together with seven students, went up to him in an attempt to coax him out of this for the sake of Chinese Medicine, but Fang Qiu refused to listen and even beat us all up. He even flung our phones into the lake. Fang Qiu is an evil bully. I shan’t say anymore… but this photograph is proof of what happened!”

This Weibo post was accompanied by a photograph.

This was a photograph of a man in black with his face covered, but it was obvious from the photograph that there were several footprints on his clothes.

Obviously, Chen Tianyang was behind this.

He had deliberately changed out of his clothes and used some dirt to print these footprints on his clothes as evidence that Fang Qiu had beaten him up.

It was an anonymous post, and he didn’t have many followers. But because this was the account that had exposed Fang Qiu for instigating others to practice Qigong, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Those people who came across this post immediately started to repost it.

After there were more than 100 reposts, it started to gain traction, and the number of reposts increased significantly.

When there were 1,000 reposts, this caused a discussion on Fang Qiu’s behavior.

Chen Tianyang knew that he had succeeded after his post was reposted 10,000 times.

“Fang Qiu, let’s see how you’re going to beat me at my game. You might be very strong physically, but this is a battle of wits… haha.”

Chen Tianyang couldn’t help but chuckle loudly as he watched the number of reposts and comments increase drastically.

On the other hand, this created a stir online when the netizens on Weibo read this post. Those who were just admonishing Fang Qiu for the sake of admonishing him immediately posted hateful comments. However, most of these people voiced their suspicions.

“This can’t be true, right?”

“How could you claim that Fang Qiu defeated eight students single-handedly? I remember seeing Fang Qiu on television, and he didn’t seem very burly. I don’t even think he would be able to defeat two students, let alone eight of you. If the claims made on this post are true, then I wonder if you were defeated because you were too weak or because Fang Qiu was too strong.”

“This has got to be a goddamn joke, right? Do you think Fang Qiu is a professional fighter? He is just a year-one student.”

“I must admit that I don’t agree with Fang Qiu practicing and advocating Qigong, but this just seems like baseless slander. What does your photograph show? Do you trust me when I say that I would be able to create 100 such photographs in several minutes?”

“The original poster must be taking us for a ride. Are you trying to show off how powerful Fang Qiu is, or are you trying to show how terrible he is? This seems completely unrealistic.”

“I just laughed out loud. As a science major, this is the first time I’ve seen such a baseless accusation that is so full of loopholes.”

“Hey, since you’re constantly posting news and photographs of Fang Qiu practicing Qigong, why are you so afraid to reveal your face? Why don’t you tell us your true identity? In any case, you’re just classmate, and you have already been beaten up by him, so is there still a need to continue trying to hide your identity?”

“Yes, reveal your identity!”

“Come on, why don’t you introduce yourself?”

…

Chen Tianyang hadn’t expected this post to become the butt of everyone’s jokes instead of igniting public fury as he had planned.

After all, it did seem ridiculous that one person could come up against eight people and defeat them all single-handedly.

He was even more upset when he saw that the public was asking him to reveal his identity.

He didn’t dare to do so!

Why would he dare to reveal his identity?

If he revealed his identity and the university’s management caught wind of it, wouldn’t they expel him for causing such a huge public outcry and affecting the school’s reputation because of his post?

It wasn’t just the university that he was afraid of.

Once his identity was revealed, his fellow students would think of him as a traitor. Then, even if he wasn’t expelled, he would definitely be beaten up and bullied on campus. He was terrified that someone might attack him while he slept.

“How could things turn out this way? How?” Chen Tianyang burst out angrily.

He knew that if he didn’t reveal his true identity, then his post exposing Fang Qiu for beating others up would not be convincing, and he would look like a fool!

He wanted those seven students who had been beaten to bear witness to this, but those people did not dare to be his witnesses, for they were afraid as well!

Ultimately, every single one of those seven students ignored him.

Everyone online brushed his post off as a joke.

“Original poster, you must be trying to become famous yourself, right?”

Chen Tianyang felt like crying when he read the comments online, but no tears would come.
