The Guardian's Return by Old Pumpkin

Stephen quickly had the trending topics suppressed to prevent the situation from escalating further. At the same time, he started a meeting to discuss solutions.

Nolan had worked for two decades, so he was quite experienced.

"The incident with the old man wasn't our fault. We can clarify that he accidentally started the forest fire and took his own life out of guilt, not because we drove him to do it. As for the shooting and hijacking of the prisoner transport, those were provocations by foreign forces. We need to issue a public statement warning them."

Stephen felt that those were good ideas. Although it would not completely calm the online backlash, at least, it was a reasonable explanation and would reduce their criticism.

Without a moment's hesitation, Stephen immediately followed Nolan's suggestions.

He first clarified the cause of the forest fire, stating that several corrupt officials had already been arrested and that others were being pursued. A complete explanation was to be issued soon.

Then, he stated that the shooting and the hijacking incidents were provocations from foreign forces and that he had already sent his men to engage with the foreign officials. If they did not cooperate, he would take the necessary measures to bring the hostages home safely.

Once the information was released, it caused an even bigger stir online.
