'News? Publicity?'
Lu Feng had a flash of inspiration. A thought occurred to him: public opinion.
In modern society, people like Mr. Chen weren't afraid of underworld forces or individual power. With a single word, he could mobilize the even greater power of the state.
But there was one thing people like him absolutely feared: public opinion.
Of course, if the person in question was upright and honest, they wouldn't fear public opinion. After surviving a public outcry, their reputation would only improve once their name was cleared.
But if their conduct was improper, public opinion would become a deadly weapon. It would draw the attention of the entire nation, of all media...
He believed in the power of the masses. Once they got serious, they could dox a target into a complete breakdown, digging up everything down to how many pairs of underwear he wore in a day.
This was precisely why so many people were terrified of public opinion.
