Chapter 3

"What about the photo?"

Ben gloated, pointing at the profile photo.

"This guy is our company CEO's son. He's usually arrogant and domineering. If he finds out his photo was stolen by John and such comments were posted online, what do you think he'll do?

"Or if the CEO learns that someone is smearing his son's reputation online, what do you think he'll do?"

Ben chuckled and directly forwarded the post to the company CEO.

"Big news, boss! Your son wants to be a homewrecker!"

Then he recalled the message after two minutes and fifty seconds.

I asked him if he wasn't afraid of being held accountable by the higher-ups.

He shook his head: "The boss isn't that petty. He might even thank me for telling him about this, to prevent his son from making a bigger mistake."

I could only pray in my heart that the boy wouldn't be beaten too badly. Sorry about that.

John was still replying to comments.

"Thank you all for your support. I won't give up. Even if I have to be the other man, I'll pursue my female tenant!"

Ridiculous. He's clearly the tenant, yet he pretends to be the landlord.

How insecure is he about his identity?

He also retorted to those comments calling him a homewrecker.

"You don't know anything. This is called pursuing love!"

"I know you're unhappy in life with no love. Don't be jealous that I'm good-looking and have several houses collecting rent."

"I'm not blind. I can tell if the female tenant is batting her eyelashes at me or not. She wore a short skirt when she came to view the house. If that's not seducing me, what is it?"

Oh my god, wearing a short skirt is seducing him? Then aren't all the girls on the street seducing him?

Besides, it's hot summer. If I don't wear a short skirt, should I wear cotton pants?

The more I read, the more disgusted I felt.

How can there be such an ordinary yet confident and lying man?

That familiar avatar came out to give advice again.

The username was "Wild Heart".

"Don't doubt it. When women wear short skirts, it's deliberately to seduce men. That's why I couldn't resist when my wife wore a short skirt back then.

She cried and made a fuss afterward, but after some coaxing, didn't she end up marrying me? She went from being a country girl to a city woman in one go, now living a life of luxury.

You're still too gentle. When her boyfriend isn't around, just force yourself on her. Don't worry, she'll give in."

Isn't this instigating others to commit crimes? Do they really think there's no legal responsibility for what they say online?

I saved this person's comments as evidence and consulted a lawyer, but the lawyer told me that without substantial events occurring, it would be difficult to file a case.

Although I was angry, I was helpless.

Women in this world really have to experience too many dangers and bear too much malice.

Not only will wearing a short skirt be assumed as seduction, but even walking on the street will be "taken in" by someone. It's really terrifying.

Many criticizing comments flooded in under Wild Heart's comment, but he didn't care at all. He just blocked whoever scolded him.

I clicked into that person's profile and found that he was just a disgusting man, saying that women being trafficked isn't a bad thing, it can provide labor for rural development.

He also said that women not having children nowadays is because they've studied too much, and women studying too much is not conducive to national unity.

So he called for shortening compulsory education to increase the birth rate.

He's simply a psychopath.

That night, Ben stayed in my spare bedroom. He didn't even go to work because he was afraid something might happen to me.

After hearing about this, my mom also told me to move away quickly. These days, losing money is a small matter, but it's scary to encounter some desperate people.

It's really unfortunate that I, a landlord, am being forced to move by a tenant.

Just as I was packing my luggage, Ben, standing by the window, called out.

"Our CEO's son is coming up with five big guys, carrying baseball bats! His face looks a bit red, maybe he was beaten by the CEO. Now he's coming to take revenge on John."

Ben and I hid in the stairwell, watching the young man kick John's door.

"Open up!"

John didn't open the door, so the young man directly instructed the people beside him to open the lock.

"It was you who impersonated me online and smeared my reputation? Ugly people really do more mischief!"
