Chapter 56 (Exclusive)
The exposure of the recording of the film actor Lu Bai pushed the topic's popularity to a new height.
No matter how he defends himself, he cannot conceal his vicious nature unless Lu Bai can prove that the person in the recording is not him.
But this is impossible, because Lu Bai's diehard fans whitewashed him in this way, and the recording was taken for comparison by more authentic netizens, and the voice judgment instructions were thrown directly in the faces of the diehard fans.
But the die-hard fans who can still find excuses for Lu Bai in this situation think differently from normal people. They think Lu Bai was framed.
As for who framed him, even the die-hard fans don’t know.
The entertainment industry is a magical world. This place where glamour and darkness interweave gives rise to the pure love of fans.
Once fans become fans, their threshold of love for their idols is very high.
Lu Bai's way of collapsing his reputation has clearly exceeded this limit. As things have escalated to this point, only a very small number of die-hard fans are still sticking with him, while most fans have quit or even turned against him.
The comment section of Lu Bai and his company's Weibo was about to explode. His and Xie Tingsi's fans, bystanders, Internet trolls, etc. Many of Lu Bai's big fans began to expose information.
Big fans or fans at celebrity clubs know a lot of secrets and choose to hide them for various reasons.
The conversation between Lu Bai and Cheng Hui fully revealed his arrogance and viciousness. Some big fans closed their sites and left, while some big fans' pure love turned into pure hatred when it was betrayed.
Not only did they release a large number of negative photos, but also Lu Bai and Yan Qiaolan's previous relationship, including text, pictures and videos. She also revealed the gossip that Lu Bai's proposal was rejected.
Since ancient times, gossip between men and women has always aroused people's curiosity. Once this news came out, coupled with the instigation of the navy, the direction of public opinion changed again.
"What? Lu Bai is having an affair with the agent?"
"There are so many melons that I can't eat them all."
"Their love is quite sweet. Why did Ms. Yan reject Lu Bai's proposal? That's Lu Bai! Lu Bai in his heyday!"
"It is said that Ms. Yan is more career-oriented..."
"After she left Lu Bai, she became the exclusive agent of Xie Ting Si... Is there something going on between them?"
"Isn't this a love triangle? Xie Ting Sinan is the mistress, and Lu Bai turns love into hate?"
"??? Are you sick?"
"You are so timid in real life, but you spread rumors and speak nonsense online!"
"You didn't mention the time difference. Ms. Yan joined Xie Ting Si's company half a year after she and Lu Bai parted ways. They had no contact before that. Besides, Xie Ting Si was busy filming that year. How could he have time for a relationship?"
"Lu Bai is not crazy. He has no grudge against Xie Tingsi. Why would he instigate his assistant to harm Xie Tingsi? Maybe your family has already talked to the agent about it."
"Get lost."
"What's wrong with you? This is a murder case, not a sex scandal."
…
The fans of Xie Tingsi were originally appeased by the company, but faced with the sudden rumors, especially those about him and his agent, they could not stand it and fought back one after another, using no swear words but with extremely strong offensive power.
Xie Tingsi Tan is not in a relationship, don't their fans know? Yan Qiaolan is an excellent agent, and fans can see that the two have a pleasant working relationship.
Spreading rumors about Xie Tingsi?
The fans were furious and their fighting spirit soared.
The company was also very supportive and made decisive clarifications, selecting a few "lucky geese" who jumped the highest and directly prosecuted them.
This tactic of killing the chicken to scare the monkey, combined with the violent output of fans, is very effective.
The company's tough attitude undoubtedly gave fans great confidence. They fought back against the keyboard warriors with overwhelming advantage and their morale was high.
Many fans couldn't accept Lu Bai's "contrast" and quit being his fans, while the few die-hard fans were eagerly waiting for Lu Bai's statement.
They waited for the official statement from the Public Security Bureau and Lu Bai's public apology.
The Public Security Bureau’s statement is simple and clear.
Assistant Cheng Hui has been arrested on suspicion of intentional homicide. Lu Bai is under police investigation. As a public figure, he was criticized by the authorities for his inappropriate remarks and was required to make a public apology and be administratively detained for 15 days.
As soon as this announcement came out, the entire network was shocked.
Fans felt sorry for Xie Tingsi, and the crowd of onlookers began to analyze the situation.
Lu Bai was very smart. When he was taken away by the police for investigation, he firmly denied Cheng Hui's accusation, saying that he had only spoken in anger and did not expect Cheng Hui to take it seriously. As for the content revealed in the chat records between his assistant and Cheng Hui, he said he had no idea.
They had no direct evidence to prove that Lu Bai was the mastermind. Cheng Hui was a little smart but not much. First, there was no transfer record, and second, there was no transaction dialogue, so it was difficult to determine whether Lu Bai hired a murderer.
Lu Bai was very cautious. Apart from the recording, Cheng Hui didn't have any evidence against him.
Before Lu Bai's image collapsed, Cheng Hui's voice was the only thing that could threaten Lu Bai. Now that his execution has been made public on the entire Internet, Lu Bai is no longer a concern.
Lu Bai was glad that he had more than one informant in the crew of "Comrades in Arms".
After Cheng Hui's plan failed, someone notified them immediately, and Lu Bai took advantage of the time difference.
Lu Bai was surprised that Xie Tingsi could be so cruel as to send his assistant to the police station. He thought of the recording of Cheng Hui threatening him. He had already discussed PLAN B with his agent and lawyer. The price he paid was very high. Compared with more serious consequences, he would rather lose his image.
He accepted the punishment calmly, apologized to the person involved "sincerely", and then apologized publicly.
Lu Bai directly admitted that he had made a verbal mistake and that he had added Cheng Hui's contact information for some reason. He was jealous of Xie Tingsi and sincerely apologized for insulting him in private.
In the video, Lu Bai appeared without makeup and looked a little haggard, without his previous high spirits. His handsome face was full of self-blame and guilt, which made people feel soft-hearted.
After posting the apology video, Lu Bai also posted another text version of his apology, attaching his medical records in the hospital's psychiatric department, saying that he sometimes couldn't control his emotions. In addition to scolding Xie Tingsi, he also scolded many people.
When the die-hard fans saw the news of his diagnosis was exposed, they felt very sad and they said that Lu Bai had his own difficulties!
Of course, these people are not in their right minds, but the vast majority of them are very rational.
[Really? I don’t believe it.]
[Lu Bai is so wicked, such a morally corrupt person can become a star, won’t CCTV ban him? ]
[It's a hammer, Lu Bai is a psychopath:)]
【Mental illness is not a get-out-of-jail-free card.】
【Who else did you scold? 】
【Xie Tingsi was really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and met this weirdo Lu Bai. 】
[I understand. Lu Bai has a strong backing.]
[You don't mention Ms. Yan in every sentence, but you are talking about Ms. Yan in every sentence. You really love her. 】
[Are you jealous that Ms. Yan is Xie Tingsi's agent? Man, don't be too jealous. ]
[Lu Bai is a love-brained person. He proposed to Ms. Yan at the peak of his career. He became depressed after the breakup. He didn't curse Ms. Yan, but only cursed Xie Tingsi. You really love him.]
…
In the police station.
After listening to the broker's report, Lu Bai's nervous heart calmed down.
The agent was puzzled: "You don't need to portray yourself as a love-crazy person. Are you still unable to let go of Yan Qiaolan?"
Lu Bai smiled and said, "Scandals are a good thing for me now."
He needs to divert people's attention, and his idiotic persona will help his career.
After Yan Qiaolan chose to become the exclusive agent of Xie Tingsi, they became enemies.
The agent said: "Okay, you just stay in the detention center for a few days, and I will take care of the rest."
Lu Bai nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
He could have been released on bail early, but Lu Bai and his agent tacitly chose to stay out of the spotlight on the execution date.
They are confident in their plans.
However, they did not remain confident for long.
On the sixth day that Lu Bai was detained in the detention center, the police received reports from the public and found a large amount of drugs in Lu Bai's villa, as well as purchase and sales lists.
The real purge of the entertainment industry is coming.
When Lu Bai learned about this, he knew that he was doomed. He regretted that he should not have rushed to implement his plan to surrender, but should have at least waited until the batch of goods was transferred.
It's over. Now everything is over.
Lu Bai was stunned, and all his energy and spirit were instantly drained away.
How could he be so unlucky?
…
When Xie Zhiyu learned the news, he was not too surprised because the enthusiastic crowd reporting and the records of purchases and consumption were arranged by Xie Zhiyu.
Lu Bai is less resistant to scrutiny than expected, his whole body is like a sieve.
He who brings trouble upon himself will suffer the consequences.
As for why Lu Bai was not arrested immediately?
Of course, the person behind the scenes was brought out through Lu Bai, a person... or a group targeting the Xie Group.
All the evidence points to... the Lu family, the Lu family where Lu Mingqian and Lu Mingjing are.
Xie Zhiyu stared at the survey data in his hand with a serious look.
…
Xie Tingsi resumed normal filming the next day. He was in charge of the early stages, and his eldest brother handled the subsequent events, which made him feel relieved.
Cheng Hui's punishment result was soon made public. He was sentenced to nine years in prison for attempted murder and the sentence was executed immediately.
As soon as the verdict came out, Cheng Hui's family members distanced themselves from him on the spot. Cheng's parents had more than one child, and it was painful for them to lose a criminal child, but a short pain is worse than a long one.
Cheng Hui owed a huge amount of money from gambling, and they were unable to repay it. In order to avoid the creditors, the whole family moved out of the original house.
Before Cheng Hui was transferred to prison, Xie Tingsi went to see him.
Cheng Hui never dreamed that Xie Tingsi would come to see him again, and his tears fell heavily.
"I'm sorry, brother Ting, I can't help it. I...I just want you to break your legs, I don't want you to die. You've been so good to me, how could I let you die..."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, it's me who deserves to die, it's me who deserves to die!"
As Cheng Hui spoke, he slapped himself so hard that his face was covered with slap marks.
Xie Tingsi watched his performance quietly. Cheng Hui hit himself more than ten times and then stopped, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
The visiting time is limited. Xie Tingsi doesn't want to listen to his lies anymore, so he stands up and prepares to leave.
Before meeting Cheng Hui, he had a lot of questions to ask him, but after meeting him, he felt that it was unnecessary.
Cheng Hui has been lying until now. How can he guarantee that the broken wire will not endanger his life and will only break his legs?
Cheng Hui is full of lies, maybe his nature is evil.
Seeing that Xie Tingsi was about to leave, Cheng Hui became anxious.
"Listen brother, I know I'm going too far, but can you please..."
"Can you lend me 20 million?" Cheng Hui looked anxious.
"If I don't pay you back, they will really kill me. Even if I'm imprisoned, they will make my life worse than death. My parents don't have the ability to pay you back, and they've cut off all ties with me. You're the only one who can help me."
"Save me, please save me."
"I work like a slave for you. My life belongs to you. Save me. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to kill that bastard Lu Bai, I will go right away."
Cheng Hui cried until his face was covered with tears and snot, looking both weird and funny.
He hated himself and hated Lu Bai so much.
Although he felt very sorry for Xie Tingsi, he was the only one who could save him, so he begged and he softened his heart and lent him the money.
Twenty million, he would have to work for Xie Tingsi for more than fifty years to earn that much, but Xie Tingsi could earn that much just by taking on a few endorsements, and he could see that Xie Tingsi's family was well off.
Cheng Hui doesn't even bother pretending anymore, his face is thicker than a city wall
Xie Tingsi crossed his arms over his chest and laughed out of anger.
"You want to kill me, and you want me to lend you 20 million?"
Cheng Hui gritted his teeth and nodded: "I will return it to you."
"Have you gambled your brain away?"
Xie Tingsi said coldly: "If you don't want to lend it to me, get out."
He turned and left, and Cheng Hui shouted immediately.
"I'll trade you my secrets!"
