I quickly opened Weibo, and a topic titled “Hot Search Truth About The Psychotic Girl” prominently occupied one of the top ten spots in local trending searches.
A user with the ID “Bystander Clear” commented on my post, revealing: “Although it’s just a side profile, I recognized this psychotic girl in the photo at first glance. She used to be a student at Port City University Business School, and was my roommate. Her name is Zhou Mengqi. As far as I know, she often gathered with others to do drugs while she was in school, and she had flings with several boys there. Her private life was quite chaotic... Eventually, she developed a mental illness from drug use and dropped out…”
This revelation was like pouring cold water into a boiling pot of oil.
The comments section erupted instantly:
“Now it makes sense! I knew things weren’t that simple!”
“Drugs? Promiscuity? This isn’t mental illness; it’s just the aftereffects of drug use!”
“I predict: this girl might be pretending to be crazy to escape punishment!”
…
I continued scrolling down the screen, and user “Bystander Clear” even posted a frontal photo of Zhou Mengqi. With her fair complexion and long black hair tied into a neat ponytail, she looked like a delicate and refined girl—definitely not someone who seemed like a drug addict or promiscuous madwoman…
What’s more, some quick-fingered users even dug up our neighborhood's address and the workplaces of father Zhou and mother Zhou.
I hadn’t anticipated such rapid developments…
By evening, several official video accounts in Port City had followed up with news reports:
“Port City Urban News: Suspected promiscuous drug-using female college student experiences mental breakdown; neighbors complain incessantly.”
“Port City Livelihood: Should mentally ill individuals be accepted by the community? Experts weigh in…”
…
Our Community Group was even more lively, as everyone learned that the disordered private life of the psychotic girl was actually someone from our neighborhood. Many residents approached the Zhou family demanding that they move out immediately, and some even posted videos in the group.
In the video, father Zhou tightly embraced Zhou Mengqi, who was screaming with her head in her hands, while mother Zhou stood at the door, forcefully pushing away the phone camera in front of her and hysterically shouting, “My daughter is not a bad girl; she’s just sick! She hasn’t harmed anyone! You have no right to make us leave! Get out! All of you get out!”
The shocking effect of the video was immense; hundreds of messages flooded through the Community Group.
“Wow, if this isn’t madness, what is? Could both mother and daughter be crazy? Is it hereditary?”
“They must move out! I heard that girl throws things down from upstairs; it’s too dangerous! Our children’s safety isn’t guaranteed!”
“What is the property management doing? If they can’t handle this, they should bring in someone who can!”
I kept switching between different platforms, checking the comments from various media and netizens. The development of this situation had far exceeded my expectations and was starting to feel a bit out of control.
But who cares? I hadn’t said anything reckless; every word in my article was a fact. No matter how big this incident became, I was just an outsider watching the drama unfold.
This feeling was quite exhilarating. Moreover, ever since this incident broke, the couple surnamed Zhou hadn’t stepped outside, and the upstairs had been unusually quiet these past few days.
I lay on the sofa, scrolling through my phone, enjoying this rare comfortable weekend.
Suddenly, someone in the homeowners' group tagged everyone and shared a screenshot of a Weibo post.
“Oh my gosh! Everyone, there’s more explosive news! It looks like the police are getting involved now!”
I sat up abruptly and clicked on the link in the group. It was a post from a user with the ID [Dark Night Light]. By the time I opened it, this post had already soared to the top of local trending topics.
“Wow, over ten thousand comments?!” I murmured to myself, quickly scanning the screen.
This [Dark Night Light] claimed to be an insider regarding the Zhou Mengqi incident. They revealed that Zhou Mengqi had indeed been using drugs at school but was merely a participant. In fact, these illegal substances were quite popular at Port City University, making it hard for ordinary students to get their hands on them. The source of these drugs was a powerful little group with four core members, led by Zhao Zeyang, the Student Council President and son of Zhao Chengda, the Dean of the Engineering College at Port City University. The other three members also came from wealthy families. This group operated without fear on campus; they not only used drugs in gatherings but also sold them openly.
What was even more shocking was that this post included photos as evidence, clearly showing suspicious white powder and pills on a table! Although faces were blurred out, anyone familiar could easily recognize those in the photos; for instance, I immediately recognized the girl sprawled on the sofa, disheveled and dazed—Zhou Mengqi!
The son of the Dean at Port City University, Student Council President, involved in drug use and sales…
These terms combined signaled a major scandal!
Sure enough, soon after, Port City Police released an official announcement:
“Recently, information circulating online about a student council member at Port City University suspected of selling and using illegal drugs has garnered widespread public attention. Our police take this matter very seriously and have officially opened an investigation today. We will conduct a thorough investigation with fairness and rigor, ensuring that no illegal activities are tolerated. At the same time, we urge citizens not to believe or spread rumors and to give us time to carry out our investigation.”
One bombshell after another; this police announcement once again stirred up a storm online:
“Oh my god, this news is explosive! Is there anyone who can remove the blur?”
“The police got involved so quickly? There must be something fishy going on! This four-member group definitely has deep family backgrounds; I wonder if they’ll uncover anything significant—let’s keep an eye on future police announcements!”
“I support a thorough investigation by the police to restore purity to our campus!”
Just then, my old friend brother Xun from Port City as Home called again.
"Hey, Old Fang, did you see the police announcement? I never expected your casual rant could stir up such a storm... By the way, this situation won't affect you, will it? Should you consider deactivating your account 'Heartfelt Citizen Xin Fangfang'?"
I chuckled awkwardly. "No need for that... Although I didn't anticipate this would blow up so much, I was just speaking my mind. I didn't spread any rumors; I was merely an unwitting concerned citizen. How could the police's investigation have anything to do with me?"
After hanging up, I realized my palms were sweaty. It felt like I had stepped on a landmine, stuck in place with no way to run. No one expected that what started as a simple complaint about an annoying neighbor would lead to such a significant case involving some formidable characters.
That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Just as I began to drift off, my phone vibrated again. Irritated, I picked it up and saw it was brother Xun once more.
"Bro, the Public Account of Harbor City Eye just released a live broadcast announcement. That drugged-up lunatic Zhou Mengqi from upstairs—her dad has agreed to an exclusive live interview!"
