C97 A New Trending Topic

After lunch, everyone returned to their departments.

Ben was already watching closely. He believed Mike had found a new lover, Alicia. And now, the “results” he had been waiting for were finally released.

While everyone was working, Weibo suddenly exploded with activity. A new trending topic appeared at the top of the platform: “Wood IT Company Intern Abuses Women”

The post quickly spread like wildfire. According to the report, it was allegedly posted by a woman claiming to be Mike’s ex-girlfriend.

She stated that she and Mike had been dating long before he joined Wood IT Company.

At first, she claimed, he acted like a loving boyfriend. But after he started working, everything changed. She accused him of physically and emotionally abusing her almost daily.

Attached to the post were several disturbing images. Bruises on her arms and face. A photograph of her standing next to Mike. And another image taken outside the café, showing Mike sitting with Alicia.

Alicia’s face had been slightly blurred, but it was still clear that she was a woman sitting beside him. The timing of everything made the story even more believable to outsiders.

As I continued working, I noticed my phone buzzing repeatedly. I opened the notification. I read the entire article carefully.

To be honest, I wasn’t even shocked at first. I had already become used to this kind of targeting. But when I looked up, I noticed my colleagues were also reading the same post.

Their expressions were slowly changing. Whispers began spreading across the office. “Is he really like that?” “No way… he looks so quiet.” “Maybe he hides it well.” “He should be arrested.” “Someone should report him to the police.”
