July 8, the scorching heat of midsummer was flowing through the air like blazing fire.

Neither adults nor children felt like taking a stroll after dinner; they stayed within air-conditioned rooms, watching short videos or browsing Weibo.

Coincidentally, they all came across a short video resembling social news: "Outlaws snatch a child outside a community, a passerby beauty rescues the child bare-handed."

The video quickly caught the attention of various social circles.

When a piece of news can cause a sensation and become a hot topic, it certainly touches on some social issue.

For instance, in this case: the community entrance, a child being snatched.

Everyone living in a community has their own residential area.

If a child faces such simple and brutal robbery at the community entrance, are they themselves safe?

This is the concern of those without children.

As for parents, upon seeing this news, they’re surely filled with anxiety.

Hence, this piece of news, with its strong social resonance, suddenly sparked wide attention and discussion.

By 8 PM, major online media platforms and personal spaces on Weibo were condemning the robbers, calling them out for their insanity, and expressing concerns about public safety.

At 9 PM, someone traced the location of the video, indicating it’s from a high-end community in S City, where the housing price is said to be 120,000 per square meter.

Such a high-end community still having safety issues at its entrance greatly escalated public fear.

By 10 PM, discussions began: "Does this woman look like Sheng Tang?"

The name Sheng Tang needed no introduction; anyone who had seen the news about "Ping Mo nearly assaulted with acid" in the morning knew who Sheng Tang was.

However, many had not followed, and people were asking, "Who is Sheng Tang?"

Sheng Tang’s hot search ranking dropped from first to 44th since there was no company involvement to maintain high heat, but now with this video, the popularity soared again.

Netizens mostly parrot others’ opinions; many watch the gossip without engaging their brains, making it easy to be swayed.

Someone said it was Sheng Tang, and below, a whole row of comments followed suit.

"Is it really Sheng Tang?"

"She indeed has skills, has she practiced martial arts since childhood? Which martial arts school did she graduate from?"

"Sheng Tang is so beautiful, her moves are swift. Action film directors should hire her, she’s way better than those flashy and insipid actresses."

Then, another person jumped in to stir things up, claiming it wasn’t Sheng Tang at all.

"Shameless woman, always stirring up hot topics! I think the promotion event this morning was staged by her, using Ping Mo to climb up."

"Right, I didn’t dare say it, but I also thought it seemed staged."

However, such voices were few; most netizens believed Sheng Tang was truly capable and considered the incident a coincidence.

Whether it was Sheng Tang or not, the matter remained unresolved.

At 11 PM, Ding Ruifan posted a Weibo, sharing a short video.

"I want to address three points: First, I condemn the leakage of personal information. The incident of my child being kidnapped happened earlier this year; the community management shared the video with me, promising it would never go public.

I didn’t expect the videos to be everywhere now. But everyone can rest assured, the robbers in the video have all been arrested, the case is closed, thanks to the police.

Second, I take this opportunity to thank my junior sister Sheng Tang. She was invited by my wife to our home as a guest and encountered danger while leaving. She was mildly injured while rescuing my children.

Third, I request all media and netizens to grant us, and my junior sister Sheng Tang, some personal space. Kidnapping and trafficking children is always a societal concern.

My family’s incident was purely accidental; please stop sharing the video, to avoid spreading fear in society."
