Chapter 142 - Please (1/2)
Hoy didn't move from his studio. He remained seated there and went through most of the comments online. Just as Sara had said, the 80% who supported her were suppressing the other twenty percent.
He admired Sara. He liked this side of her. She was strong. Maybe, he just didn't like seeing women weak. He knew trouble was coming for him soon. CEO Li was not going to let him be. He scoffed. Was CEO Li thinking he wanted to fight for Sara's affection with him? He knew it was going to be a futile effort. Not only was she older than him, she was obviously in love with Muchen. He remembered her excited look when she saw him and the way she just stared solely at him while they were conversing. Only a stupid person would want to push on for a romantic affair even after seeing these signs.
He scrolled further then, saw a lady's comment that had thousands of likes. It read... ”UNTIL WE ALL STAND AGAINST THESE PEOPLE, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO OPPRESS US. JUST LOOK AT ALL SHE HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH IN THEIR HANDS, YET, SHE REMAINED SILENT. THE VIDEO OF HER STANDING OUTSIDE WITH HER FAMILY, BROKE MY HEART COMPLETELY. HOW CAN PEOPLE BE THAT WICKED? WHEN I READ MOST COMMENTS HERE, I SAW A YOUNG MAN'S COMMENT WHO SAID HE HAD WITNESSED THE SCENE ON THE STREET WHEN MO JINYONG TRIED TO HIT MISS SARA BUT WAS RESCUED BY HIS UNCLE. SO, CAN ANYONE SAY THOSE VIDEOS WERE FABRICATED? HOW DOES IT CONCERN YOU HOW SHE GOT THE VIDEO, IF YOU WERE IN HER SHOES, WOULD YOU NOT GO TO HELL JUST TO BRING YOURSELF TO JUSTICE? I'M SURPRISED AT PEOPLE MOST TIMES. IF MISS SARA NEEDS A LAWYER, WELL, I'LL BURN THOSE BASTARDS DOWN”
Hoy thought her name looked familiar. She was obviously a socialite. But he was sure she was the rebelling type.
He then saw the comment the lawyer was referring to earlier. A guy had left a bitter comment claiming to have witnessed the scene with his girlfriend but hadn't paid much attention to it and he poured his anger on Jinyong because his girlfriend had broken up with him that night when he told her he wouldn't fight on the streets with another for her because he believed it was childish. He had a lot of sympathisers as well as people who mocked him.
Hoy couldn't help chuckling a bit. The people of the world were all fun. It was the first time he had actually sat down to go through people's comment on things unrelated to business.
He was beginning to wonder why he had been having a bad chill that evening but his answer didn't come any later, because he received the same phone call Muchen had received.

”What?” Jianjun asked in shock.
”Dad, look. We're talking about something else. This has nothing to do with Mr Li and I” Sara tried diverting his attention to their previous conversation but it didn't work.
”No! This is more important. You know this is wrong. I don't know why you are turning a blind eye to all of these. You are going to get yourself into trouble.”
”I won't” She said disinterestedly.
