Chapter 162 Public Opinion Overturned
"Sister Gu." Gu Yingzhi heard a voice behind her, and she was instantly covered with goosebumps, and she didn't dare to turn around for a long time.
Before she turned around, Bao Mei appeared in front of her, with a pale face showing a smile at her, which looked particularly weird.
Gu Yingzhi's face turned pale. She swallowed her saliva and forced herself not to be afraid. Then she stammered, "You... why are you here?"
She had only met Bao Mei once and was almost scared to death at that time. Unexpectedly, she said with gratitude, "Sister Gu, I can rest in peace because of you. You are my benefactor. I can promise you one thing, no matter what it is."
At that time, Gu Yingzhi was almost fainted with fear, but when she heard the following words, she didn't know why. Thinking of a person she had always hated, this was such a good opportunity.
Even if the person in front of her said that he would help her fulfill her wish was a ghost, she couldn't help but be moved. What if he was a ghost? As long as he could help her.
At that time, Bao Mei saw that she had not spoken for a long time, and said cautiously: "Sister Gu, did I scare you ? Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just want to repay you."
Gu Yingzhi came back to her senses, her hands and feet were cold, she endured the trembling, and said with a pale face: "You... really want to help me?"
Bao Mei nodded quickly. She died in an accident and her body was not injured, so her death was not very ugly. Except for her abnormally pale face, she was fine after adapting.
Gu Yingzhi exhaled: "Well, you help me deal with someone, - do you know Kong Banlian?"
Not long after, Bao Mei disappeared after getting Gu Yingzhi's request. Gu Yingzhi fell seriously ill that day and had a fever for several days. Even so, she was still thinking about what Bao Mei promised her, and asked her assistant to keep an eye on Kong Banlian to see if she had any abnormalities recently. After the fever subsided
, Gu Yingzhi learned from her assistant that Kong Banlian attended a banquet and spoke a lot of bad things at the banquet. It seemed that she was possessed by evil spirits.
However, because this banquet was internal, no one dared to tell others about what happened in the past few years, otherwise the video of Kong Banlian saying those words would have been circulated on the Internet.
Gu Yingzhi felt it was a pity, but it seemed that she was not imagining things that day. Bao Mei really helped her deal with Kong Banlian.
Gu Yingzhi was happy about this for a long time. She was not worried about what would happen if Bao Mei knew the truth, but since she had decided to do this, she naturally had no room for regret.
Unexpectedly, after many days, Bao Mei suddenly appeared in her house again. She looked similar to the last time, but for some reason, Gu Yingzhi felt that she looked a little scary today.
She suppressed her fear and said excitedly: "You are here, Kong Banlian... How is Kong Banlian?"
Has she been driven crazy by Bao Mei? Or... killed by Bao Mei?
When she thought of this, Gu Yingzhi became particularly excited. Her beautiful eyes looked particularly strange, and her beautiful face was a little distorted, which was very different from the usual bright, perfect and impeccable superstar.
Bao Mei saw all this, and now she knew that Gu Yingzhi transported her body back just to market his kind personality, and even bribed her parents to act for this purpose.
The other party's so-called living in a family that favors boys over girls since childhood and his life experience similar to hers were all made-up personalities.
There was no such thing as what she imagined, that he felt sorry for her experience because he thought of himself, and then helped her.
These were all fake!
Bao Mei's eyes were a little red, and she laughed, "Kong Banlian, she is fine now."
"What?!" Gu Yingzhi's face turned bad instantly after her fantasy was broken, and she even questioned Bao Mei, "Didn't you promise to help me deal with Kong Banlian!"
Seeing Bao Mei looking at her dimly, Gu Yingzhi became afraid belatedly. Suddenly she thought of something and said cautiously, "Are you... angry because I reported your brother to the police for fraud? I... I was angry with him too. Don't worry, I will prove immediately that he did not blackmail me, and I will let him out..."
Bao Mei interrupted her, "No need, I think you did a good job, he should be in jail."
"Then you..." At this time, Gu Yingzhi's face was as pale as a ghost. She was really scared, but she had to suppress her fear and communicate with Bao Mei.
The other party had clearly promised her to help her deal with Kong Banlian, so why would he suddenly regret it... How could it be possible?
Unless... Gu Yingzhi thought of something, and her face became even uglier. She desperately ran to the bed, where her mobile phone was placed.
"Sister Gu, why did you lie to me?" Bao Mei's voice came faintly from behind her, with a cold breath: "Do you know what the consequences of lying to me are?"
With a "clang", Gu Yingzhi was frightened and her legs went limp, and she fell directly to the ground. The piercing pain in her legs made her sweat, but she was so scared that she didn't care about the pain. She quickly got up, finally ran to the bedside table, hurriedly grabbed the mobile phone, and called the assistant.
However, the call could not be made at all.
Why couldn't it be made? Gu Yingzhi was sweating all over. Her fingers were shaking as she kept poking at her phone, but she couldn't make a call.
She finally realized that there was no signal on her phone at all.
Gu Yingzhi's legs went limp with fear. She watched Bao Mei coming towards her, getting closer and closer. She grabbed the cabinet, shouting in fear, and asked the assistant outside to come over.
But the assistant, who usually slept in the outer room and would come when she called, did not show up no matter how she shouted.
Gu Yingzhi was so scared that she burst into tears and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and apologizing: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please let me go, I'm sorry I shouldn't have lied to you, I was really wrong, don't kill me, don't kill me..."
She felt a cold breath approaching, and Gu Yingzhi's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
——
"Why did you faint for no reason? How can you look at people?" Gu Yingzhi heard the voice in her ear in a trance, and she struggled hard to wake up.
The assistant explained carefully: "I really didn't hear any sound."
"Tsk, those people in the Bao family are really brave. They made a fuss again. Now Yingzhi can't wake up again. I'm so worried!" The agent who hurried back from other places was really troubled.
His marketing skills are amazing, and you can see it from Gu Yingzhi's reputation over the years. But no matter how powerful he is, he was caught off guard by the Bao family and lost the initiative, which was enough to make him anxious.
"Such a big thing happened, why didn't you say it?" The agent was very angry and questioned the assistant.
The assistant was helpless: "Originally we were keeping an eye on the Bao family, but something suddenly happened to Sister Gu, so we were paying attention to her and didn't pay attention for a while. We didn't expect..."
"You can make such a low-level mistake. If I remember correctly, you have been following Sister Gu for more than two years, right? Now, because of your small mistake, all that Yingzhi has accumulated over the years has been ruined!" The agent was so angry that he didn't notice that Gu Yingzhi's eyelids moved, as if he was about to wake up.
Gu Yingzhi opened his eyes amid the noise. He was a little confused at first, and then he suddenly remembered something and immediately screamed: "Ahhh, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!"
The agent was startled by the scream. He turned his head and found that Gu Yingzhi was curled up in fear. He hurried forward to comfort her: "Yingzhi, what's wrong with you? We are all here, where are the ghosts?"
Gu Yingzhi was obviously frightened. He didn't hear what the agent said at all, and still murmured fearfully: "There's a ghost, wuwu, there is a ghost, don't come over, I was wrong, I dare not lie to you again, wuwuwu..."
The agent had to raise his voice and kept comforting Gu Yingzhi. Finally, Gu Yingzhi seemed to come back to his senses, his eyes focused, and he looked at the agent.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Yingzhi nodded slowly.
The agent continued, "Something happened on the Internet. Although you are not in a good condition now, there is no other way. In order to calm down the public opinion, you must come forward."
Gu Yingzhi looked tired, "What happened?"
The agent told him what happened. It turned out that not long after Gu Yingzhi fainted, because Gu Yingzhi called the police on the grounds of blackmail, Bao Lao Da was arrested. Bao's father and mother were directly angry and decided to find a media to expose Gu Yingzhi's actions.
When the media came, Bao's parents looked sad, their hair was a little messy, and their clothes were wrinkled. It was obvious that something had happened. People who didn't know what kind of people they were would definitely feel sorry for them.
The media that came were all gossip media, and each of them had a sharp nose for gossip like a dog. As soon as they saw Bao's parents' appearance, they knew that there must be some big news. They
immediately rushed to ask questions, and Bao's mother took the opportunity to cry uncontrollably: "... I thought she was kind enough to help us, but I didn't expect... originally the daughter was gone, and now the son is gone too!"
The media that came had already learned about the Bao family's situation in advance, and knew that their daughter had passed away, and Gu Yingzhi helped them bring their daughter's body back to their hometown.
So, the "big star" that Bao's mother mentioned must be Gu Yingzhi, right? They knew that their daughter was gone, but what about their son? Moreover, it seemed that their son's accident was related to Gu Yingzhi.
The more the media thought about it, the more they felt that this was big news, and they couldn't help but use all their tricks to continue digging for information.
Soon, they pieced together the general situation of the matter. Of course, this was the truth from Bao's mother.
According to Bao's mother, when they were exhausted and didn't know how to transport their daughter's body back, Gu Yingzhi's assistant took the initiative to find them and said that he could help them.
Bao's father and mother felt that they had met a good person, and they were also very grateful to Gu Yingzhi, thinking that she was beautiful and kind, and Gu Yingzhi's assistant said that there were conditions for helping them.
After hearing this, Bao's father and mother didn't know what the conditions were, but they could understand them. After all, people would not help them for no reason. As long as their daughter's body could be transported back and she could be buried in peace, they would agree to any condition.
Then, Gu Yingzhi's assistant said, "There are no conditions that will make it difficult for you. You just need to cooperate with the media to do an interview. When the time comes, we will not only transport your daughter's body back, but also give you a sum of money."
Bao's mother cried and said, "We don't care about money, but I can't watch my daughter alone outside, so we agreed to just do an interview.
After the interview, she really did as she said before, helped transport our daughter's body back to her hometown, and gave us money. But I don't know how much money I have. I really didn't want it, but I didn't expect that she gave the money to my eldest son behind our backs, and I never found out about it.
A few days ago, the police came to my house, and I learned that this black-hearted person actually called the police. It was clearly her who took the initiative to give the money to my son, but she accused my son of blackmail! Our family is honest, and I really don't know how I offended this big star. I didn't want to say anything bad about her, but I can't just ignore my son! "In fact,
in order to make herself look more innocent, Bao's mother changed many details, resulting in many loopholes in her statement.
But this big news was shocking enough, and at this time not many people paid attention to the logical problems in some places.
Originally, Gu Yingzhi's kind-hearted personality won the love of many fans and passers-by, but now they are told that Gu Yingzhi is unscrupulous in order to establish her personality, and can even use someone else's deceased daughter!
"Uh... Today is also a day that I was shocked by the bottom-line behavior of the inner fish."
"Tell me, what is true!"
"Wow, I didn't expect Gu Yingzhi to collapse. I mean, her reputation has been very stable for more than 20 years! I really doubt whether there is any debuff on me. Why does whoever I follow collapse!"
"Sisters above, add a contact method. Next time, tell me who you follow in advance. It's nothing special, just to be mentally prepared."
"Hahaha, I've long felt that Gu Yingzhi is very pretentious. She is indeed a fake person in the entertainment industry. Look at her perfect personality in the past: good temper, beautiful, kind, and as quiet as a chrysanthemum... The first few are okay, but the latter one really made me laugh to death. How could someone who can enter the entertainment industry and be seen by us be so indifferent to fame and fortune? Hahaha, the problem is that some people really believe it. Now it's finally overturned, which is
very satisfying!" "Am I the only one who finds it strange? According to Bao's mother, the money was given to her son by Gu Yingzhi. Why would Gu Yingzhi go out of her way to harm an ordinary person? Her statement is so strange."
"The man upstairs, why are you here to clean up the mess now that your master has fallen?"
Nowadays, public opinion is one-sided in accusing Gu Yingzhi. Occasionally, if there are one or two people who question what Bao's mother said, they will be labeled as Gu Yingzhi's fans and attacked by the crowd. Under such circumstances, fewer and fewer people are willing to raise questions.
"There's a lot of abuse online right now. We can't go on like this." The agent explained the situation and saw that Gu Yingzhi had a dazed look on her face. She didn't know what she was thinking and didn't care. She continued, "How about this, you respond later. Video is best and you don't need to wear makeup. Just say that you've been sick these days and don't have the energy to respond. Act pitiful and divert attention."
After the agent finished speaking, seeing that Gu Yingzhi didn't say anything, he thought she was worried about whether the online public opinion could be controlled, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, although the current situation is very unfavorable to us, there is a solution. The Bao family just wants to rescue their son. As long as their son is released, they will naturally be willing to cooperate again to clarify. You can pretend to be pitiful then, maybe you can still attract fans?"
"Yingzhi, Yingzhi? Why don't you talk?" The agent shook Gu Yingzhi, who immediately retracted his gaze from somewhere and said with a pale face: "Start a live broadcast, I'll tell you."
The agent still believed in Gu Yingzhi. Over the years, her acting skills in the drama were average, and the title of the best actress was also watery, but her acting skills outside the drama were superb, and she could control herself in the face of unexpected situations. There was no problem for her to clarify through live broadcast.
"Okay, just be like this now. Oh, look at this little face, so white, and the eyes are just the right amount of red. I feel so distressed, not to mention those fans." The agent looked at Gu Yingzhi's little face with admiration, and then sent out a live broadcast link in advance, and let Gu Yingzhi lean against the head of the bed to do the live broadcast.
The moment the camera was turned on, a large number of people rushed into the live broadcast room. Now Gu Yingzhi's incident was a hot topic, and many people were paying attention to it. Almost the moment she announced that she would broadcast live, many people crowded over to watch the excitement.
The agent appeared in the camera with a sad look on his face: "I'm sorry to everyone who is paying attention to this incident. We originally wanted to clarify it as soon as possible, but as you can see, Yingzhi was sick some time ago and just woke up..."
In the camera, Gu Yingzhi really looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness. She was originally good-looking, and with this face and her barely acceptable acting skills, she even became a movie queen. Although the gold content is not high, she can still be said to be a movie queen.
At this time, Gu Yingzhi's weak appearance not only did not affect her beauty, but made her more pitiful. The original scolding on the screen decreased a little. Everyone felt that Gu Yingzhi didn't seem to be pretending?
Her acting skills should not be that good, right?
At the same time, the Bao family was also paying attention to Gu Yingzhi's live broadcast. When Bao's mother saw Gu Yingzhi's appearance, she was so angry that her teeth itched: "I don't believe it. Can she still say anything! Dare to plot against my son, she won't have an easy life. I won't let her be her big star!"
At this time, everyone, including the Bao family, felt that Gu Yingzhi must have started a live broadcast to clarify. The Bao family was confident that they had a handle on Gu Yingzhi, and the other party would give in long ago. Didn't they see what the public opinion on the Internet had become?
At this moment, Gu Yingzhi spoke, and the content shocked everyone: "I admit that I did let the Bao family cooperate with my hype, but... they are not so innocent..."
The agent reacted and wanted to interrupt the live broadcast, but Gu Yingzhi snatched the phone and told everything word by word.
The agent was dizzy, watching things rushing in an irreversible direction, and felt that he was going to faint.
The Bao family, who were also shocked, looked at Gu Yingzhi's appearance and didn't say a word for a long time. In the end, all the shock turned into one sentence: "She is crazy!"
Yes, is Gu Yingzhi crazy? Does she not want to be her big star?
You know, even if she takes the initiative to admit it this time, it doesn't mean that she can whitewash herself, and her acting career will definitely be hit hard.
Everyone thinks Gu Yingzhi is crazy, but Gu Yingzhi herself knows that she is not crazy, she just has to tell the truth.
Because Bao Mei is staring at her.
The Bao family no longer has the leverage over Gu Yingzhi, and there are many more voices cursing them on the Internet, and someone even comes to their doorstep to throw shit.
The workers who were originally building the house quit because the Bao family didn't have money to pay them for the next job. Now that someone is throwing shit at the doorstep of the half-built house, no one is willing to do it anymore.
The originally planned two-story small house is only half built now. There is no one nearby, and there is an unspeakable stench at the doorstep, which is even a bit shabby.
The Bao family is now in a dilemma. Should they continue building the house? They had no money left, and they had to find a way to return the money they had spent to Gu Yingzhi. They returned all the things they had bought before, but they were not refunded at the original price. The things they had just bought became second-hand, which was much cheaper.
In the end, they scraped together a few hundred thousand yuan.
But if they didn't continue to build a house, where would they live? Would they have to live in a temporary residence forever? But this was the land in the village. It was fine for them to live there temporarily for a while, but it was definitely impossible for them to live there for a long time.
What's more, their family's reputation in the village was not very good. Not long after, the village chief found them and said that many people in the village had reported that the Bao family should not monopolize the land of everyone, and asked the Bao family to move out of this place immediately and vacate the land.
"This place is deserted anyway, what's wrong with letting us live there?" Bao's mother didn't have much brains, and she didn't know that forcing them would only backfire.
Sure enough, when the village chief heard this, his face turned cold and his tone became heavier: "That's right, this land belongs to the country. If you don't pay, and there is no approval process, how can I give it to you just because I say so? Isn't that a mess? Okay! Vacant the place as soon as possible. So, I'll give you three days. If you haven't moved out within three days, don't blame me for being rude." After
the village chief finished speaking, he left, leaving the dumbfounded Bao family.
In the end, they had no choice but to move back to the half-built house. Today, the weather was cold, and the house didn't even have windows. It was so cold that they couldn't sleep at night. After finally getting through
the night, Bao's father and mother woke up the next day and found that Bao's younger brother was gone!
The other party only left a note with the three words "I'm leaving" written crookedly on it. It was obvious that he felt that the current situation at home was not good, so he ran away directly.
Bao's father became ill from anger that night. Of course, it might also be frozen. Bao's mother took out the antipyretic medicine from the corner and fed it to him. Looking at his appearance and thinking about her future life, she couldn't help crying.
——Because
Gu Yingzhi was unwilling to listen to the agent, now public opinion is completely irreversible, and the agent is unwilling to care about her.
Gu Yingzhi felt bitter in her heart. If possible, how could she be willing to destroy her career with her own hands? But she had no choice.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on Bao Mei for marketing, but she regretted letting the other party harm Kong Banlian. She didn't expect that it would backfire on her now.
On this day, she suddenly received an invitation from Kong Banlian, who wanted to meet her.
Gu Yingzhi sneered, she lost, so the other party must be even more proud, right? Kong Banlian was always so high and mighty, and appeared proudly in front of her when she was at her most humble.
