Chapter 156 - The Xia Family's Downfall

 A full-scale online backlash erupted against Xia Mingyao.

Amidst the public's outrage, several victims finally found the courage to come forward and share their stories. They recounted how Xia Mingyao had deceived and raped them, their tearful accounts condemning his depravity, cruelty, and lack of conscience.

One user, "Heartbreaking Pain," posted a lengthy account of her experience with Xia Mingyao:

I was once a devoted fan of Xia Mingyao. The day I went to pick him up at the airport, just as I was about to leave, his assistant suddenly approached me, saying Xia Mingyao wanted to meet me.

I

He told me that ordinary people like us could never fight against the Xia Family.

If I didn't want my family to be harmed, I had to pretend that nothing had ever happened.

I was terrified. After his threats and intimidation, I didn't dare report it to the police anymore. Even less did I dare speak of it to anyone. From that night on, I had nightmares every night, always reliving that day.

Worse still, I contracted that disease from Xia Mingyao—a disease that's notoriously difficult to cure and, even if treated, leaves you permanently positive.

My dream was to become a teacher. Now, with this illness, what reputable school would ever hire me? I wouldn't even pass the physical examination.

Xia Mingyao has ruined my life and my future.

That scoundrel Xia Mingyao should be punished!

Finally, the girl declared:

"I've made up my mind. I won't cower anymore. I will testify against Xia Mingyao and make sure that monster receives the justice he deserves!"

Seeing this, netizens expressed their sympathy and concern for the girl's plight, while also voicing their full support and admiration for her decision:

"Sister, we're with you!"

"Sister, sue his ass! Scum like Xia Mingyao deserves to face the law!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! For yourself and for all the girls he's violated, demand justice! That beast Xia Mingyao deserves to die!"

***

Perhaps inspired by this girl, many of the victims came forward, declaring their determination to sue Xia Mingyao. They were willing to reveal their identities, testify in court, and do whatever it took to ensure he faced the full force of the law.

"I'll testify!"

"I will too!"

"Add me to the list! We have to take down this scumbag Xia Mingyao. Let's rid society of this pest and get justice for ourselves!"

Fu Zilan watched the online furor with a slight smirk. She raised her hand and directly tagged her fourth sister, Fu Zilu, in the family chat:

@Fu Zilu: Fourth Sister, I've done everything I can. Now it's your turn to make your move! [Start your performance.jpg]

Fu Zilu, tagged in the chat, replied with an "OK" emoji.

Immediately, she took action.

Fu ZiluV: Need a lawyer? @Heartbreaking Pain.

I can be your lawyer and take this case for you.

For free!

Don't worry! We'll win this case.

Worst-case scenario—if I mess up—Xia Mingyao ends up in prison.

Netizens and onlookers: "...!!!"

After a bizarre collective silence, the crowd erupted:

"Holy shit! Lawyer Fu has spoken!"

"Lawyer Fu is actively tagging the victims and offering to represent them for free? Lawyer Fu is amazing!"

"I strongly suspect Lawyer Fu has an ulterior motive. Besides helping these poor girls get justice, she's also out for revenge against Xia Mingyao, right? Right? Right? After all, that idiot Xia Mingyao had the nerve to provoke Lawyer Fu's precious little brother!"

"The one above is right! I think so too!"

"Same here +1!"

"+2!"

"+10086!"

"So, how much does Lawyer Fu dote on Fu Shan? It's confirmed—she's a total brother-worshipper! Hahaha—"

**Imperial Capital**

**Xia Family Villa**

The Xia family, already shrouded in gloom, watched every turn of events unfold before their eyes.

As they witnessed the unfolding situation, their already grim expressions darkened further.

Xia Mingyao paced like a trapped beast, his voice trembling with desperation: "Dad, what do we do? How could this happen? Dad, save me! You have to save me! I don't want to go to jail. Waaah, I really don't want to go to jail!"

Helpless, he threw his arms around Xia Dawei's legs, his wails echoing through the room.

"Mingyao, don't worry! Dad won't let you go to jail. I'll find a way!" Xia Dawei said, his heart aching at his son's distress. He continued to reassure him, but inwardly, he was terrified and utterly out of his depth.

He knew the evidence against Xia Mingyao was overwhelming. Moreover, the opposing side had hired Fu Zilu and Lawyer Fu, known as the "Imperial Capital's Unbeatable Duo," who were handling the case for free. Winning this lawsuit would be nearly impossible.

Yet, no matter how difficult, Xia Dawei resolved to try his best.

He would risk his life to keep his precious son, Xia Mingyao, out of prison.

Xia Dawei secretly resolved in his heart.

However, the outcome was...

Fourth Sister Fu Zilu performed as expected, sending both Xia Mingyao, the defendant, and his lawyer to prison.

Furthermore, she filed charges against Xia Dawei himself, accusing him of major economic crimes such as money laundering, bribery, and unethical malicious competition. He ended up joining his son in prison.

In trying to save his son, Xia Dawei ended up dragging himself down with him.

But in a way, it was for the best. With father and son both in prison, the family remained united, in a twisted sort of reunion.

The Xia Family was utterly ruined.

Fu Group quickly acquired Xia Corporation.

The Xia Family went bankrupt.

Old Madam Xia and her mother, Yao Yulan, burdened with debt and penniless, were kicked out of the Xia Family Villa.

The two once arrogant and haughty ladies, who had once lived in luxury, were now destitute, enduring the scorn and ridicule of the world.

Their twilight years were miserable.

In short, the king's fall brought ruin.

How could the word "tragic" even begin to describe the Xia Family's fate?

After all, they had offended Fu Shan.

This—was the price for provoking him!
