Chapter 117 Everyone's Reactions: Fortunately, nothing happened.
Chapter 117
After the details of Lin Yuan's injury were revealed, Geng Yue's situation became increasingly difficult.
Although he didn't instigate the fans, Lin Yuan's attack was indeed related to him.
Even if he himself is innocent, he has already lost in the battle of public opinion.
Geng Yue used to be very popular, and he had never lost a battle in the realm of public opinion, but now…
If he doesn't respond, he can only watch helplessly as a group of netizens find ways to criticize him and his reputation continues to plummet. But if he does show up and respond, what can he say?
This matter really had nothing to do with him, and Geng Yue really didn't understand why he had anything to apologize for.
Lin Yuan's ordeal was indeed an accident, but Geng Yue felt that the coldness and indifference of the entertainment industry were revealed in that very accident.
The reason he's being criticized now is simply because Lin Yuan is more famous than him.
If he remains as popular as before, his fans will naturally clear obstacles for him without him having to say anything.
In short, after this incident, Geng Yue's popularity plummeted to rock bottom.
His popularity could have been salvaged before, since he still had a base of supporters. But now, people both inside and outside the industry have tacitly distanced themselves from him, and Geng Yue's few collaborations have also terminated their contracts with him immediately.
Geng Yue couldn't help but wonder if Lin Yuan had deliberately chosen this moment to harm him.
...Lin Yuan really didn't need to do this, but he had already fallen into deep despair.
Lin Yuan did not step forward to criticize Geng Yue, but Lin Yuan's studio did step forward to emphasize the importance of "restraining fans".
Ironically, it was Wang Chen, who was from the same company, who was the most aggressive in criticizing Geng Yue.
The two had already clashed once before, and now they've completely broken off relations.
Since the two work at the same company and have a history of conflict, the media, unable to find Geng Yue, naturally turned to Wang Chen for his opinion on the matter.
Wang Chen first expressed his sympathy for Lin Yuan, then feigned surprise: "I really didn't expect this to happen... I'm starting to worry about my own safety instead."
"Here, on behalf of Brother Yue, I would like to express my deepest apologies to Brother Yuan..."
His sympathy for Lin Yuan was a pretense; his true intention was to attack Geng Yue.
On this day, the hashtag #WangChenApologizesToLinYuan# quickly climbed to the top of the trending searches.
The hashtag #WangChenYinYangGengYue# also trended on social media, but it was clearly unfavorable to Wang Chen and was quickly suppressed by his management company.
Geng Yue: "..."
Wang Chen made a perfunctory apology, but didn't his situation get even worse?
What do you mean by apologizing on his behalf? Who gave you permission?
Geng Yue was furious; every word Wang Chen said in the interview was a sarcastic remark directed at him.
Although Geng Yue's career is declining, as the former top star of the agency, he still has some dirt on him. Even though he had such a fierce falling out with Wang Chen before, Geng Yue never thought of releasing the dirt, intending to save it as a trump card.
There's no need to hide it now.
Geng Yue hired several online troll companies he was familiar with to seize the initiative in public opinion and relentlessly spread negative information about Wang Chen as if it were free.
Geng Yue, after all, was a top star who had been successfully promoted, and he had much more confidence than Wang Chen. Wang Chen was still in the stage of relying on resources and did not have the ability to fight alone. The scandals that Geng Yue released really made him scramble for a while.
"Now it's really dogs fighting." Even though he knew that Geng Yue wasn't involved in this, Feng Zeng was still very unhappy.
He was first annoyed by Geng Yue, and secondly, he was annoyed by himself.
He has been on the set of "Mandala" recently, except for the day Lin Yuan was injured.
Even if he wasn't there, he should have arranged for someone, or asked the production crew to arrange someone to accompany Lin Yuan.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was unharmed, but Feng Zeng felt a lingering fear when he thought about it.
What if?
If something really happens to Lin Yuanzhen, will his acting career, his ideals, and everything he has worked so hard to achieve... still exist?
Upon receiving the news, Feng Zeng immediately dropped everything he was doing and rushed to Lin Yuan's side.
Lin Yuan seemed indifferent, but Feng Zeng couldn't help but think of more.
Lin Yuan was optimistic because he hadn't actually been injured this time.
This is because he was very lucky; he escaped unscathed.
The agent, however, imagined countless "what ifs" in his mind, each one terrifying and an outcome he could not accept.
The agent was only angry with himself.
Now that Lin Yuan's career is gradually improving, does he feel that he can rest easy?
Lin Yuan's current achievements are basically all earned by Lin Yuan himself, and the role played by his agent is limited.
His fellow agents in the industry all say he's very lucky.
Feng Zeng also felt that he was very lucky. Although he had suffered a lot of mistreatment at DA Entertainment, he met Lin Yuan immediately after resigning.
He was too careless and didn't care enough about Lin Yuan.
Whether the attack was carried out by Geng Yue's die-hard fans or those of any other celebrity, he failed to nip the threat in the bud.
Lin Yuan could have avoided all of this.
Feng was furious, wishing he could beat himself to death, but he couldn't show it in front of Lin Yuan. He could only casually say that he would handle the work matters and that Lin Yuan only needed to focus on recovering from his injury.
Feng Zeng hired bodyguards for Lin Yuan as quickly as possible, and also added two assistants—Lin Yuan liked to go out for walks by himself, and Feng Zeng no longer planned to let him go out alone.
Even if Lin Yuan was unhappy, he intended to interfere to the end.
However, regret is not something that can be easily dispelled. Feng Zeng tried to appear calm, but Lin Yuan still sensed it: "Are you unhappy?"
"No."
“You’re just unhappy, I can tell.”
"Nothing happened this time, right? Just be more careful next time." As the injured person, Lin Yuan showed extraordinary optimism.
“There can’t be a next time,” Feng Zeng said in a muffled voice. “It’s my responsibility.”
“I wasn’t on guard either,” Lin Yuan said. “I thought it was a time when I wasn’t very popular.”
Lin Yuan is also reflecting on his actions.
Next time... he can try to offend fewer people.
Of course, the most important thing is to improve physical fitness.
Lin Yuan understood Feng Zeng's thoughts perfectly well, but he wouldn't say it out loud.
Feng was regretting his outburst when he spoke too bluntly, which probably made his agent feel even worse.
"It definitely won't happen again next time."
"There won't be a next time," the agent replied firmly. "It's impossible for such an accident to happen again."
...
Lin Yuan's right leg recovered quickly, and he was able to walk normally in no time. After all, he was still young, and these past few days he didn't have to film or use his brain. Even when he wanted to write songs, his manager stopped him, fearing that Lin Yuan might get hit on the leg by a guitar.
Lin Yuan ate and slept, and his current state can be described as lively and energetic.
Among his friends, He Xun was the first to visit him.
He Xun still had scenes to film, so he specially asked the crew for leave to come over. As soon as he saw Lin Yuan, he pulled off Lin Yuan's blanket to check on his injured leg.
Lin Yuan let out a terrified scream: "What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, we won't kill the pig." He Xun carefully checked Lin Yuan over and, after confirming that Lin Yuan was indeed alright, he sat down with peace of mind. "That scared me to death."
He had just met Lin Yuan during the Spring Festival. At that time, Lin Yuan was perfectly fine and had no problems whatsoever. How long has it been since the Spring Festival? Lin Yuan was actually attacked. For He Xun, this news was like a bolt from the blue.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave his work, He Xun would have rushed over long ago.
"What exactly is going on?" He Xun asked.
"Just like the news said, minor injuries."
He Xun looked at him suspiciously: "There aren't any hidden injuries that can't be detected, are there? Have they all been checked?"
Lin Yuan nodded honestly: "You're exactly like my manager now."
Although Lin Yuan only suffered a contusion, after being sent to the hospital, he underwent every procedure that could be done, including a checkup for hemorrhoids.
Blood tests, lab work, brain scans... Lin Yuan wanted to say that he hadn't damaged his brain, but on this point, he couldn't argue with his manager.
Yu Ying was the second friend to visit him.
Yu Ying didn't have any acting offers, but after the New Year, she went abroad for a trip. As soon as she saw news reports about Lin Yuan, she rushed back and then transferred to a plane to Z City.
Her actions... were exactly the same as He Xun's.
If it weren't for the fact that these two people came from different places and hadn't seen each other since the Spring Festival, Lin Yuan would have suspected that Yu Ying and He Xun had made an appointment.
Yu Ying's first action was also to lift his blanket.
Her gaze was even more meticulous than He Xun's, making Lin Yuan... feel uneasy.
"What are you doing?" he screamed in terror.
"That sounds awful." Yu Ying gave him a disdainful look. "I don't slaughter pigs."
Lin Yuan: "?"
It's one thing if the actions are the same, but how come even the lines are the same?
Who was the person attacked?
After sitting down, Yu Ying inquired in detail about the events before and after Lin Yuan's attack, and told him to continue training at that boxing gym.
"Next time you go out, it's best to bring some self-defense items," Yu Ying advised. "It's better to be safe than sorry."
Then, Yu Ying started asking Lin Yuan what tests he had done, telling him to do more detailed tests.
"It would be best to get your brain scanned as well," Yu Ying suggested.
Lin Yuan: "My head wasn't hit."
"Who said a broken leg doesn't affect the brain?" Yu Ying said aggressively. "Remember to get it checked out."
Lin Yuan: "..."
When Yu Ying displays the aura of a big sister, he feels like a weak little dog.
The person who came to visit Yu Ying afterward was Li Mobei.
Oranges were indispensable, and even pulling back the covers didn't prevent it.
Lin Yuan: "...I know my legs are beautiful, thank you."
Li Mobei looked at him with an expression that said, "Is this guy crazy?"
Lin Yuan: "..."
Yes, he's sick, and he's the one who's hurt, okay?
Li Mobei sat down. For some reason, Lin Yuan felt that he had mastered the ability of prophecy. Everyone who sat in the same chair would suggest that he undergo a more detailed examination, such as a brain examination.
Lin Yuan: "...Oh."
He's so tired.
Li Mobei asked one more question: "What about the production crew? Is there anything I can help with?"
"I'll be back to filming soon," Lin Yuan said. "I won't need you for the time being."
Li Mobei sat down and chatted with him for a while before leaving.
During the time Lin Yuan was injured, the celebrities who visited him also came into the media spotlight and were reported on from time to time.
Li Mobei actually disliked his private life being reported on repeatedly, but he still came.
After Li Mobei, Tian Yi arrived at Lin Yuan's ward.
Before the other party could make a move, Lin Yuan took the initiative to lift the blanket: "Legs are even, muscles are well-proportioned, lean but not skinny, very good."
Tian Yi gave Lin Yuan a "get it over with" look, then turned to him and asked, "How did you know I wanted to..."
"Because I am a time traveler."
"The brain scan has been done, blood has been drawn, and we've been observing for several days. It's been very thorough, so please rest assured."
Tian Yi: "Oh."
He felt like Lin Yuan had stolen all his lines.
"Are you sure everything's alright?" He was still a little worried.
Lin Yuan shook his head: "Don't worry."
"That person is utterly depraved."
While Lin Yuan was focused on filming, Tian Yi didn't contact him much, as both of them were very busy. Tian Yi had commercial performances to attend, album releases to make, and promotions to do, keeping him as busy as a spinning top.
But he was also worried about Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was his motivation to continue in the entertainment industry. If Lin Yuan hadn't given him a push, Tian Yi wouldn't know if he would have had the confidence to continue being a singer.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan was safe and sound, and Tian Yi felt relieved.
He couldn't imagine what would happen if Lin Yuan got into trouble, or if, as the internet speculated, he encountered the worst possible situation...
Please don't do that.
