Fans breathed a sigh of relief. They were all prepared to stay up all night, but they didn't expect Xiao Shulang to be so decisive and efficient, putting their minds at ease so quickly!
"Waaaa, my brother really did work through the night to gather evidence so we wouldn't have to stay up all night. I cried."
"Ahhh, I knew you were okay, Shulang! The haters are so awful! They just started with one photo and made up the rest!"
"Looking at the surveillance footage, it was around the time they finished eating. They were clearly heading home. What kind of secret rendezvous was that? It was just a meal. Why are these haters interfering with people's meals?"
The surveillance footage is available for everyone to see, including Qin Shuang.
He stared at Wang Shao's hand on Xiao Shulang's shoulder and their subsequent confrontation, his expression inscrutable.
When Wang Shao made his move, he had a disgusting smile on his face. But after Xiao Shulang dodged him, his expression changed instantly. Coupled with this incident, it's not hard to guess what kind of dispute the two had.
Moreover... He looked at the chat history and found that Teacher Wen had already explained what had happened to him, and he also knew what Young Master Wang had said.
Qin Shuang opened the pinned chat box and sent Xiao Shulang a thumbs-up and "Get some rest."
Xiao Shulang handled things quickly and decisively, without needing Qin Shuang's help. So what Qin Shuang did next was not to help Xiao Shulang, but simply because he wanted to do it himself.
Qin Shuang made a phone call to someone in the group: "Could you check if there are any recent projects involving the Wang family?"
Everyone thought that the matter of Xiao Shulang was over and the gossip was finished, but unexpectedly, the next morning, new explosive news immediately occupied the entertainment pages, and the content was much more exciting than yesterday's!
Yesterday, when the initial smear campaign against Xiao Shulang was launched, all that was captured was a photo of him with his arm around Xiao Shulang's shoulder. But today, a video has surfaced online, and one of the main characters in the video is Wang Shao, while the other is not Xiao Shulang, but Wu Feiyu.
Because Wang Shao appeared at Teacher Wen's studio yesterday, Xiao Shulang also requested to retrieve the surveillance footage near the studio, including the underground parking lot, and watched it for more than just one day, even going back in time.
This led to a scene of Wu Feiyu and Wang Shao kissing in the parking garage.
Although both of them were in the car, the surveillance camera was in a good position and was high-definition, capturing their faces and movements clearly.
Releasing a video like this, without any accompanying text, is just as exciting as a previous photo.
Wu Feiyu was forced to wake up early in the morning and panicked.
Last night's events are still fresh in everyone's mind, and everyone still remembers Wang Shao's face.
"Oh my god, so it was Wu Feiyu who messed things up, right?"
"That was exciting! They hugged and kissed for a long time. You have great lung capacity."
"Don't be so quick to criticize. Maybe this person is Wu Feiyu's real boyfriend, which is why Xiao Shulang could meet and have dinner with him. Everything makes sense now."
Would Wu Feiyu dare say this was her boyfriend? No way! Because his biggest sugar daddy wasn't Young Master Wang!
Not wanting to be caught red-handed, he even took leave from class so that when Wang Shao invited Xiao Shulang and Teacher Wen to dinner, he wouldn't be able to get a picture of him.
But Wu Feiyu didn't expect Xiao Shulang to be so ruthless, actually checking the surveillance footage. Who knew he would even check the surveillance footage from Teacher Wen's studio!
One video isn't enough to kill him right now, because some people are indeed speculating that Wang Shao is his boyfriend, but... Wu Feiyu's hand trembled, and a phone call came in—it was from his real sugar daddy.
Wu Feiyu answered the phone with a trembling heart. The man on the other end sneered, "I told you not to mess around when you're with me. Are you that thirsty?"
The sugar daddy doesn't talk about feelings with him, but he'd never be happy if Wu Feiyu flirted with other people behind his back; he'd feel ashamed.
Wu Feiyu hurriedly said, "Let me explain—"
"No need, I don't want to hear it," the sugar daddy said. "I'm not spending money to make myself unhappy. People are laughing at me for not being able to support even one person, and forcing you to go out and hook up with other people. If you dare to betray me, you'll have to pay the price."
The man hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. Wu Feiyu felt a chill in her heart and immediately tried to call back, but she couldn't get through. She had been blocked!
He panicked and desperately tried to get back in touch, but soon, more scandals and obscene photos about him were exposed online, very quickly and in great detail, all thanks to Kim.
His carefully cultivated image collapsed overnight.
"Holy crap, are we playing this crazy?!"
"Some photos were deleted because they couldn't pass the review, but I saw them, and ugh, they're so cringeworthy!"
"This is the pure and innocent Wu Feiyu! Wow, you're amazing! Do your fans know how good you are at this?"
"I woke up to find my house had collapsed! Wu Feiyu, I'm so mad! I've liked you for so many years, and you're actually this kind of person behind the scenes!"
Wu Feiyu was not the only one who collapsed; Wang Shao was too.
Young Master Wang doesn't read entertainment news, so he was completely unaware of the online buzz yesterday. He was happily sleeping when his father stormed into the villa early this morning to drag him away.
He was still dazed when he was pulled out of bed.
But his father slapped him across the head, a crisp and loud slap.
Wang Shao was stunned, then came to his senses and was shocked: "You hit me!?"
"I'll beat you to death!" His father was on fire, unleashing a barrage of insults, "Do you know you caused the company to lose a huge order?!"
"You can play around, I can't control you, but I repeatedly told you to be careful, did you take my words to heart?! The investment from Qingyu Group was a sure thing, but they suddenly called this morning to cancel it! They said your company's heir is not of good character and there is a risk in cooperating."
Young Master Wang: "Huh?"
"What nonsense! It just means you've offended their people, don't you understand, you pig-brain!!"
His father was furious. Young Master Wang said, "No way! I've been behaving myself lately. Apart from cursing a minor celebrity yesterday, I haven't done anything else. How could I offend Qingyu's people?"
"You, you do something wrong but don't even realize it. Do you expect me to figure out where I offended you? Starting today, you'd better reflect on your actions honestly. Your mother feels sorry for you and wants you to get more company shares so you can get dividends, but I think you should forget it. Your brother is more reliable. I'd rather give him the shares than give you the shares!"
Wang Shao panicked completely. Cutting off his source of income wouldn't work! His father turned to leave, but he scrambled to his father's leg and clung to him, pleading, "Dad, no, no! I was wrong, give me a chance, I'll reflect on my actions, I... I won't go out to play with anyone for three days!"
His words only made things worse, and President Wang became even angrier, yanking his hand away and yelling, "Get out!!"
"dad!!"
Wang Shao bumped his forehead against the door, making a red envelope. He was on the verge of tears, unable to understand how he had offended Qingyu's people.
Chapter 50 You're one foot taller, I'm ten feet taller
Xiao Shulang was unaware of Tianliang Wangpo's situation, but Wu Feiyu's matter was not yet over.
Because among the solid evidence exposed online, there are pictures of Wu Feiyu and Ji Mingming attending a "party" together.
Now that's a mess, with everything being pulled into this mess, and since Wu Feiyu and Ji Mingming are both here, their best friend Luo Tian is being brought up again.
After a long period of relative obscurity, Luo Tian has finally made headlines again, along with his two good friends.
Unfortunately, this time the trending topic wasn't the one he wanted, but there's nothing that can be done about it, right?
As for Zhou Tong, who had previously been on good terms with the group, he was completely dumbfounded.
His good brothers were full of surprises. He suddenly realized that he had never really seen through these people before. He quietly left the four-person group chat. Now the three of them no longer needed to hide their small group chat from Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong had severed ties with them.
Just kidding, he's a loyal guy with a girlfriend. They've been having such a wild time behind his back. If he doesn't clear his name, what if Xiao Le misunderstands and thinks he's a womanizer too?
Luo Tianwu Feiyu and Ji Mingming were already arguing fiercely in the group chat.
First was Ji Mingming, who was dragged into this for no reason and was furious. He questioned whether Wu Feiyu had leaked the information.
Wu Feiyu: "I already said no, I was tricked too, okay!?"
Ji Mingming: "Who took the photos and videos? You didn't take my photos?"
“How should I know?” Wu Feiyu said irritably. “It could have been stored by someone else!”
He became increasingly angry as he spoke: "In the end, if it weren't for helping Luo Tian, I wouldn't have put myself in this situation!"
Luo Tian: "Fine, finally telling the truth? Wasn't it mainly because of me in the variety show? Could you have become famous so quickly without me? Now you feel wronged after helping me out, you ingrate!"
"Laughable." Wu Feiyu's reputation is ruined now, so there's no need for pretense. She dares to say anything. "You were the one who pulled us together to exclude others, but you didn't get any benefits. Besides, you dare to call me an ingrate? You're not worthy of that. Weren't all those resources and benefits given to you by Xiao Shulang? If I'm an ingrate, then what are you?"
How dare they mention Xiao Shulang! Luo Tian was furious: "Trying to cause trouble, huh? Believe me or not, I'll expose even more dirt on you!"
"Go ahead and expose me!" Wu Feiyu was already desperate. He'd already exposed the worst, so what was there left to fear? "You talk like you're not popular anymore. Didn't you complain about not having any buzz? I'll give you another boost!"
After arguing in the group, the three of them, in a fit of anger, actually went online to continue leaking information. Since they were already dead anyway, they figured they might as well contact some media outlets and release information to make some more money. Right now, there are plenty of people willing to receive information.
So the onlookers stared in disbelief as new melons kept popping up one after another, each one a verifiable piece of news. They felt it was all too real, and the melon-eating crowd was practically overflowing with them!
"So Luo Tian and his gang were bullying others back during the talent show! That's infuriating! One of my favorites back then must have been bullied away by them!"
"I've disliked Ji Mingming for a long time, but his fans were trying to defend him as being genuine. Now look what's happened! He's arrogant, domineering, and two-faced. What a load of rubbish!"
"Look at the comments on their Weibo, they've already started fighting like dogs, hahaha, let's get them fighting!"
Wu Feiyu and Ji Mingming's endorsements and resources were also lost in just a few days. Wu Feiyu had just finished filming a drama when this happened. The production team was really in tears. Seeing that the drama was about to be canceled, they also joined the army to accuse Wu Feiyu of breach of contract.
The show "Blossoming Star" is also preparing to replace Ji Mingming. Hearing this news, the contestants are the happiest. They all hope to get a better mentor so that they can have a chance to stand out.
Luo Tian was no longer even worthy of trending on the internet, but now he's back in everyone's sight, with both old and new accusations being used to criticize him. Everyone thinks that Xiao Shulang's decision to dump him was a wise one.
Luo was so angry he nearly vomited blood: I was the one who kicked him!
But that doesn't matter. People will just be glad that Xiao Shulang has escaped his misery and call him a scumbag.
After this incident, Luo Tian has been completely marginalized in the entertainment industry, while Wu Feiyu and Ji Mingming, due to their appalling private lives, should be facing a ban.
Xiao Shulang tried to deal with Wu Feiyu, but they ended up fighting like dogs, getting dragged into the mess, and ultimately suffering a total annihilation.
The matter simmered for several days, becoming the talk of the town. Wang Hao called Xiao Shulang, speaking animatedly about it, believing that evil people would eventually get their just desserts. After chatting for a while, he noticed that Xiao Shulang was unusually quiet and asked in surprise, "Why are you so quiet today?"
Xiao Shulang glanced at the open script: "It's alright, you can continue."
He's thinking about his own things.
Teaching Wu Feiyu a lesson was just an eye for an eye, something the villain brought upon himself. Xiao Shulang really didn't need to get excited. At the moment, he was a little absent-minded, mainly because he had just been studying the script and had come to the kissing scene.
When reading through the book, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but now that I'm studying how each scene should be acted and visualizing the scenes in my mind, the kissing scenes are quite different.
After all, to create a picture, you have to think of Qin Shuang's face and imagine the two of them getting close...
Xiao Shulang's throat bobbed. He had been learning from Teacher Wen for a few days, but he had zero experience in on-set filming. He thought to himself, "Kissing scenes should be able to be filmed using camera tricks, right?"
But some kissing scenes seem to be real, so when can we use a camera trick and when do we need to actually kiss?
If you think about it carefully, they actually have quite a few kissing scenes.
One scene in particular left a deep impression on Xiao Shulang and was one of the climaxes of the entire series: after successfully repelling the enemy, surrounded by soldiers cheering or weeping with joy, the two of them embraced and kissed amidst the flames of war.
A hard-won victory, and the people who fought alongside me.
If filmed well, it will surely be a breathtaking and unforgettable scene.
He has recently been discussing the script or going over lines with Qin Shuang occasionally, but they mainly focus on the main plot and avoid talking about romance.
Xiao Shulang took a soft breath, and Wang Hao heard a gasp: "Hmm? Are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Shulang realized that Wang Hao had said enough. "Then I'll hang up. I'll read the script for a while longer, and then go to class."
