The official website was instantly flooded with comments demanding an explanation from Zheng Xu. Some people pointed out that the company's statement did not match Zheng Xu's account, but these comments were quickly overwhelmed.
To them, Zheng Xu was a weakling, and in his later years, he represented capitalism, an enemy to be defeated.
"That's about it, the video can be released now." Yao Qinglin glanced at the popularity and calmly gave the instruction.
The public relations manager understood, and with a click of the mouse, the video was sent out.
There are two videos in total. The first is Zheng Xu's speech in the recording studio, where his arrogant attitude is off-putting. The second is a discussion of the entire incident, and at the end of the video, there is a blurred-out segment where only Zheng Xu's face is clearly visible.
He pointed at a young girl, pretending to hit her, but was outmaneuvered.
The video ended with Zheng Xu's scream. Before Zheng Xu could react, Jason also posted on his social media.
"Some people specifically named Moon, saying that only Moon deserves to compose for him, and that mine is not good enough for him."
In short, without specifying who it was, everything pointed to the same person, and the rumor that Meng Zhilian had stolen Zheng Xu's music was naturally debunked.
While Moon is talented, she only collaborates with He Tong. Jason, on the other hand, is a highly sought-after producer in the industry, having worked with many others. As soon as the statement was released, numerous artists who had collaborated with him rushed to offer their condolences, some genuinely so, others hoping to use the opportunity to build a good relationship.
The situation is still developing, and the online arguments are growing louder.
"Send it."
No sooner had Yao Qinglin finished speaking than a new statement appeared on the official website. There were no pictures, no videos, only three words.
See you in court.
This was followed by a statement released on the official website of Libra Agency.
"At the request of Ms. Yao and several other victims, we will prosecute Zheng Xu for rape."
Without giving Zheng Xu a chance to react, Libra Agency released another edited video, which contained statements from the victims detailing how Zheng Xu drugged and assaulted them.
One link leads to another, and when Zheng Xu, who was staring intently at the screen, saw the last message, his expression changed.
"Xiao Zhu, what should we do?"
"What about the rape? What are you hiding from me!" Zhu Xi's hands trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"It's all fake, they're slandering me! You have to believe me!" Zheng Xu frantically tried to grab Zhu Xi's hand, but she shook him off.
How could it be slander? Isn't she the same way?
She was one of Zheng Xu's first fans before he became famous. It was because of her affection for him that she repeatedly accepted his invitations to dinner. But for some reason, they ended up sleeping together the next day.
Zheng Xu apologized to her, showered her with sweet words, and bought her many luxury goods. Half-heartedly, Zhu Xi was also captivated, and in exchange for an early debut, the two became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Watching the video, Zhu Xi suddenly realized what had happened. She gritted her teeth, her eyes instantly reddening. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were calm.
"The lawyers from Libra Law Firm have intervened. You'd better call your dad and get him to bail you out. I can't help you anymore."
One wrong step leads to another. She should have had a bright future, but she ruined it with her own youth. How ironic.
Zheng Xu panicked, failing to notice Zhu Xi's change in mood, and frantically searched for his phone.
The bell rang suddenly; it was Zheng's father.
Zheng Xu swallowed hard, his trembling hand almost causing him to hang up the phone.
"dad……"
"You good-for-nothing! What a terrible thing you've done!"
Before Zheng Xu could finish speaking, his father's angry roar came through the loudspeaker. Although he hadn't looked at the speaker, it still reached Zhu Xi's ears.
She didn't linger, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave.
"Zhu Xi!" Zheng Xu instinctively tried to stop him, but the insults on the other end of the phone continued, giving Zheng Xu a huge headache.
"Dad, please let me explain. I'm your son! Please save me! I... I was wrong, I was really wrong!" Zheng Xu pleaded with his father for help while reaching out to pull Zhu Xi away, but she shoved him away.
With a bang, the door separated the two people. Zheng Xu punched the door, cursing, "Damn it!"
Are you getting angry with me now?
"No... Dad, I didn't, no, I'm your son, you can't abandon me, I don't want to go to jail."
"You've done all that dirty work and now your father has to clean up your mess? Do you even know how many deals the company has lost because of you! Save you? You've bankrupted the company, do you even know that?!"
"Dad! Dad! I was wrong. I promise I will turn over a new leaf and be a better person. Dad, you can't give up on me. I'm your son, your only son!" Zheng Xu pleaded in a low voice, his expression visibly panicked.
"You're hopeless, I'll pretend I never had a son like you!"
"dad!"
Ignoring Zheng Xu's pleas, the phone was abruptly cut off. Zheng Xu will now face legal consequences.
When Meng Wan woke up, it was almost noon. She walked out of the lounge and saw Yan Nian outside handling the final details.
"I've already asked for leave for you. Drink some water to soothe your throat." Yan Nian handed Meng Wan a glass of warm water.
"How's the situation going?"
"It's all settled. This is Tian Wei's plan. I've reviewed it and have already instructed them to begin preparations."
Meng Wan nodded, picked up the document on the table, glanced at it, and put it down.
"Going to school this afternoon?" Yan Nian looked at Meng Wan, twirling her hair around his fingertips, having a great time.
When the two are together, there is always a unique atmosphere that makes it impossible for others to intrude.
"Yes, Lanxing just messaged me, saying she has something to tell me."
"I'll take you there."
Meng Wan pinched his cheek. "You should go to sleep. Driving while fatigued is very dangerous, isn't it?"
Yan Nian pursed her lips into a straight line, but ultimately did not refute Meng Wan.
"Let's go, I'll take you to eat first." Yan Nian straightened Meng Wan's hair, which he had just messed up.
In the afternoon, Meng Wan was taken to school by Tian Wei.
"Good afternoon, Wanwan."
"good afternoon."
Did you oversleep this morning?
"You think Sister Wan is like you?"
Students passing by greeted Meng Wan, and she responded to each one.
"Sister Wan? I thought you weren't coming this afternoon." Peng Zhe appeared from behind Meng Wan, holding a basketball.
Where is Earth?
"I saw her at the supermarket just now."
Meng Wan nodded and had just put her backpack inside when Lan Xing came in, carrying two bottles of water.
"Wanwan!" Lanxing placed the water on her table.
What do you want to tell me?
"Take a look and see who else is missing from the class?" Lan Xing raised an eyebrow, her gaze fixed on a certain spot.
"Tang Zhiyi?"
Lan Xing nodded, feigning seriousness.
"I heard she was pushed down the stairs by the second young master of the Tang family and ended up in the hospital."
