Chapter 17 Seven Years Ago vs. Hidden Secrets [President Lu, you really raised the movie star...]

The guests at the scene were also unaware that Wen Yinhe and Lu Huaijin had such a little-known past.

After all, Wen Yinhe, who was standing in front of her at this moment, was reserved and gentle, handsome and upright. Although he was not as flamboyant and passionate as the blazing sun, he was as clear and warm as the breeze and the moon. How could one see any trace of depression or melancholy?

Faced with the astonished stares of the crowd, Wen Yinhe simply lowered his eyes, a faint smile on his lips, and gently played with Lu Huaijin's well-defined fingers, not intending to reveal anything more.

He wasn't ashamed to mention it, nor was he afraid of being misunderstood as deliberately playing the victim or exploiting his illness.

It's simply because that seemingly painful and dark memory has now become his and Lu Huaijin's most precious treasure.

He was reluctant to share it with others.

However, sometimes, more words do not necessarily evoke more sympathy.

On the contrary, it's people like Wen Yinhe who casually toss out a sentence or two, yet convey a wealth of information, enough to ignite the wild imaginations of netizens, leaving them thoroughly entertained and tormented by their own thoughts.

[Wait...what? Huh? The Best Actor means he suffered from depression before? It sounds pretty serious? Oh my god! If he hadn't said it himself, I really wouldn't have been able to tell! QAQ]

[A state of catatonia is already a sign of severe depression. If left unattended, a person can remain silent, refusing to eat or move for days and nights, almost completely losing their ability to care for themselves. The pain is beyond words; only those who have truly experienced it know how desperate it feels—almost indistinguishable from the living dead...]

[Waaaaah, that's enough! Let's talk about the tonic later! Friend, we're just online friends, don't try to kill me with that tonic!!!]

[Thanks for the invitation, I'm devastated... Why does such a good person like this have to suffer like this?! Those who engage in cyberbullying should all die!!!]

[I'm sorry, I'll never doubt the feelings between the movie star and CEO Lu again, waaaaaah! I'm so fragile, this is torture! Thank goodness CEO Lu was there for the movie star during that time, otherwise, I might never have seen him again... Ahhh, I can't even finish my sentence! I just burst into tears!!!]

[President Lu, you've really taken good care of this movie star! I can't take it anymore, what's with this sweet yet heartbreaking feeling? My heart is breaking, waaaaaah...]

News of Wen Yinhe's past severe depression quickly spread online, and the ambiguous rumors from back then were once again laid bare before the public for judgment.

It's quite simple. Back then, Wen Yinhe's entertainment company was targeted by a rival company, and countless celebrities were taken away for investigation.

This company is rotten to the core; a simple shake reveals a complete criminal law.

During that period, every day new pieces of solid evidence were revealed to have destroyed the once glamorous celebrities on television, which was quite entertaining to watch.

As the company's top star, Wen Yinhe has never been definitively exposed, but there are still many unsubstantiated rumors circulating about him, confusing people.

If he were truly innocent, Wen Yinhe could have kept a low profile and lived a quiet life until the company collapsed, then he could have easily found another home.

But the problem is that Wen Yinhe's fellow disciple was also suddenly exposed for sleeping with fans, using drugs, and attending sex parties. The most serious issue is that minors were also involved.

This matter originally had little to do with Wen Yinhe. The problem was that the fan was not his senior's fan at all, but Wen Yinhe's.

The young fan posted a video to prove her identity as a fan of Wen Yinhe, and then personally revealed that the person she had been in private contact with was actually Wen Yinhe, not her senior brother. The senior brother was taking the blame for Wen Yinhe and had even tried to rescue her.

For some reason, Wen Yinhe managed to exonerate himself completely, while his innocent senior brother became the target of everyone's criticism.

This reversal shocked the entire internet.

After all, Wen Yinhe has always maintained an image of purity and elegance, and has never been involved in any scandals.

At this point, a high-end club produced a video showing Wen Yinhe taking a strange woman away from their store late one night. The woman in the video was the underage girl.

The upscale club had already been sealed off at the time, so this move was practically a total destruction.

Although Wen Yinhe later clarified that he had accidentally discovered that the girl was suspected of being a victim and had even called the police, a large number of netizens still made sarcastic remarks.

[Are you a police officer? Does she need your help? What kind of celebrity goes to a high-end club in the middle of the night to pick up a pretty young fan? Who would believe that? Are you her father? Why are you meddling? You're such a busybody.]

[The dad in bed might be laughing his head off]

We're all men, we all understand that. We've already done it, what's wrong with admitting it?

That senior brother might not be entirely innocent either; maybe it was two of them working together (doge).

How can a person prove that they did something they never did?

For the first time, Wen Yinhe experienced a feeling of bewilderment and helplessness.

Was he going to do what Liu Zi did, to cut open his own abdomen bloodily to prove that he only had a bowl of noodles in his stomach?

But when he finally emerged from the police station, exhausted and battered, and presented the audience with a clean, bright bowl, full of expectation and reverence, he was met only with endless ridicule.

[What? You're saying we misunderstood you? What? You want us to apologize? Don't joke around, we were just saying it casually, you didn't actually take it seriously, hahaha! Besides, is it really a misunderstanding? Who knows if you used some special connections to clear yourself up, tsk tsk, it's all just you talking, you can turn black into white.]

At that moment, Wen Yinhe suddenly realized that there weren't actually that many people in the world who cared about the truth.

They viewed him as if he were a clown in a play, and they were merely the jovial audience.

Aside from him, nobody cares about the truth.

Apart from Lu Huaijin, no one cared about the excruciating pain of Wen Yinhe's torn abdomen, from which blood gushed out.

Seven years later, with Wen Yinhe's old wounds long since healed by his lover's loving care, he has finally let go of the past and stopped making excuses for himself. Instead, countless strangers have come forward to support him.

There's definitely more to the story than meets the eye back then!

But what secrets could there be?

Wen Yinhe had clearly told everyone the truth seven years ago.

But nobody believes it.
