"The Faxing Chase Incident" A 16-year-old school girl who has been missing for nearly a month alleged that she was abducted by the owners of the Franchise mansion, a mother and daughter, and forced her to work as a maid, and was subsequently placed under house arrest in Franchise.

A lie runs throughout the story, but in the end it makes us feel the power of "public opinion killing".
