At eight o'clock in the evening, after Tang Xiaowan had finished off a large plate of spicy crayfish and was scattering vegetable seeds in the sunroom with Wang Meijuan, a new topic shot up the trending search list.
"Miss, look, the results are in."
"The fake crystal affair?"
"Yeah, turns out it really was framed!"
Tang Xiaowan stood up, placing the seeds on the table, "That was fast!"
The trending content was an apology video regarding the fake crystals, shot at Jinkai Police Station.
In the video, the implicated man and his ex-wife detailed how they purchased the fake crystals and how they swapped them for the real ones, also expressing hope that everyone would take them as a cautionary tale to not challenge the law in pursuit of a quick profit.
The woman broke down in tears at the emotional part.
However, their apology did not elicit sympathy from the onlookers; instead, it was met with a barrage of criticisms.
