On that very night, Lin Xue'er's program reached an unprecedented viewership, with rumors stating that the ratings had soared to 67.3 percent, creating a viewership legend in Z Province.
Many citizens had sat at home watching television at that hour and had habitually turned on that particular program. Lin Xue'er's outraged speech, coupled with the video footage shot at Bath City and the hospital, gave everyone a heart-wrenching feeling. The "second-generation officials" were utterly shameful. Moreover, after that incident, Liu Junyuan encountered no corresponding punishment; he continued to go to work as if nothing had happened.
Because of this, the citizens of Jianghuai City were enraged. Some even directly called the TV station to express their desire to denounce Liu Junyuan, insisting that even now, with Liu Junyuan dead, it was imperative to denounce Liu Jiangqiu. It was a commonly understood principle that the faults of the son were the father's responsibility.
