Under normal circumstances, this certainly couldn’t count as evidence.
After all, although Zhou Qing appeared to watch drama at the hospital, it only shows that he was watching drama.
It can’t prove that those gang forces were his.
However, when Xu Gu released the video, the effect was completely different.
It directly occupied the commanding heights of public opinion.
"So what if there’s a video?"
Zhou Liangshi’s expression changed slightly, he stopped hiding his thoughts, and directly said, "Can it prove any relationship between Zhou Qing and that gang of thugs?!"
"Don’t tell me my Zhou Family has no one?!"
The elder members of the Zhou Family all stepped forward, their aura erupted.
The senior members of the Motorbike Association, naturally, were not going to back down either.
The atmosphere was tense and a war could break out at any moment!
Xu Gu’s expression remained calm as he indifferently said, "How about it? It’s not up to your Zhou Family to decide, but everyone else."
With that said, Xu Gu waved his hand, and a holographic projection appeared in the air.
It was the hot topic on the entire internet.
"This must be retaliation!"
"Xu Gu had just bled for the Human Clan, and Zhou Qing dares to retaliate right after?!"
"Zhou Qing? I’ve heard of him, he’s Zhou Shengwen’s cousin."
"And some people are refuting, saying the video can’t prove anything?!"
"Are they treating us like fools?!"
"It’s so obvious, yet it still can’t prove anything?!"
"It was Zhou Qing who orchestrated the gang’s action, who also obstructed and watched drama while drinking wine, even threatening the Moon Goddess!"
"Zhou Qing must be punished severely!"
"What? Xu Gu has already killed him? Well done! This is not just self-defense, but also eliminating harm for the people!"
"Xu Gu, we will always support you!"
The direction of public opinion was completely on Xu Gu’s side.
But, no one implicated the Zhou Family.
They regarded this as merely Zhou Qing’s personal recklessness.
Unrelated to the Zhou Family.
After all, the Zhou Family is strong and a noble family.
Seeing this, Wang Shanhai and others breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Zhou Liangshi and others turned livid, but still clenched their teeth and coldly snorted:
"These are just some insignificant public opinions, what truth could they know? The real truth will be thoroughly investigated by our Zhou Family.
"When the time comes, I hope you, Xu SSS-class, can still remain calm!"
"Just some insignificant public opinions?" Xu Gu shrugged his shoulders.
His words were sharp as he said, "Soon, you will see what’s known as the power of the masses."
Zhou Liangshi countered with equal sharpness, if it weren’t for the very strong bodyguards behind Xu Gu, they would have already slain Xu Gu there, retorted, "No, soon, you will know the power of noble families!"
With that said, he instructed the Zhou Family members responsible for public relations:
"Quickly manage the PR! Completely reverse the direction of public opinion for me!
"Xu Gu dares to kill a future head of our Zhou Family! Unforgivable! I want him ruined and disgraced!"
He shouted out this sentence.
The scene became agitated.
Wang Shanhai’s eyes were cold, growing even more displeased with the likes of Zhou Liangshi.
Xu Gu, on the other hand, remained calm.
Seeing this, Zhou Liangshi and others burst into laughter.
They already regarded Xu Gu as a dead man.
Public opinion? It’s useless in the face of absolute power.
Soon, public opinion will be reversed.
Their Zhou Family’s professional team was already involved!
They would stand on the highest moral ground and thoroughly judge Xu Gu.
Not only to kill Xu Gu, but also to completely shatter his reputation, making him fall from grace!
The old PR tricks that had been successful in the past, this time, had failed directly.
Not only were they ineffective, but they also caused even more public discontent.
"A reversal? There’s no reversal!"
"Zhou Shengwen betrayed the Human Clan, Xu Gu saved tens of millions, who do you think represents justice and who represents evil?"
"Still making excuses? With images, videos, and truth, such an obvious retaliation, can’t we see it?"
Some noble families and financial tycoons who had competition or hostility with the Zhou Family also stepped in, kicking them while they were down.
And the Motorbike Association supported Xu Gu.
When everyone knew what was happening, and there was enough power to support it, evidence and such no longer mattered.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure of public opinion like a flood, the Zhou Family was shaken to its core.
Although they were powerful and deeply-rooted, they didn’t dare to act against the tide.
The influence of noble families and tycoons was certainly great, but among noble families and top financial tycoons, the Zhou Family was not the only one!
The issue had blown up.
Xu Gu’s influence was not to be underestimated; he had already entered the highest echelons of the Association, under the watch of greats like Eternal Sword Saint and Champion Marquis.
The reason there was no protection offered was because Xu Gu was backed by strong protectors.
It didn’t mean they truly didn’t care about Xu Gu’s safety.
The Zhou Family repeatedly targeting Xu Gu had angered these big shots.
They came forward with warnings.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?!"
"Your own arrangement failed and you still left such a big loophole!"
"The family’s glory, all being thrown away by you!"
All the old antiques in the Zhou Family were furious, thundering with anger.
All members of the Zhou Family were trembling.
Over the years, these old antiques had stopped managing family affairs due to the pressing Divine Domain war, focusing on self-improvement and frontline combat.
But the new generation of managers had proven too aggressive.
Some aggression was not wrong.
But leaving loopholes and a mess that couldn’t be cleaned up was unforgivable.
