Chapter 653 Counterattack Following the unspoken "script" within the industry, Zhao Shuo, under public pressure from Luo Shuning, was bound to respond.
After all, it's clear to everyone that his fans started the controversy by insulting Gu Luo. Even if he doesn't apologize directly, he should at least say something like "guide fans to pursue their idols rationally" or "hope that fans from both sides can coexist peacefully," and then turn the page on the matter.
But reality often doesn't follow the rules.
Just when the entire internet was waiting for Zhao Shuo to back down, his Weibo account finally made a move.
The response came quickly, yet was astonishingly concise.
Zhao Shuo directly tagged Luo Shuning and sent only one sentence: "Who are you?"
The short line of text showed no sign of backing down; on the contrary, it was full of confrontational tension.
The onlookers, who had been observing from the sidelines, instantly erupted in a frenzy, flooding Zhao Shuo and Luo Shuning's Weibo comment section with expressions of astonishment and skepticism.
Is Zhao Shuo really that brave?
[This is incredible! Let's fight! Let's all fight!]
As a bystander, it's true that Zhao Shuo's fans started this whole thing, but it has nothing to do with Zhao Shuo himself.
[You're hilarious! Zhao Shuo has been letting his fans stir up trouble all along, you didn't know that, did you?]
[Exactly, Zhao Shuo's brainless fans are the most brainless.]
[...]
Seeing their idol so "domineering," Zhao Shuo's die-hard fans were energized and launched a new wave of attacks across various platforms.
The popularity of Gu Luo, Luo Shuning, and Zhao Shuo skyrocketed overnight, and related topics dominated the trending search lists on major platforms.
Many netizens began to speculate about the shady dealings behind this – could this be a pre-written script? Was it deliberately hyped up to generate buzz?
Is Zhao Shuo stubbornly trying to provoke Luo Shuning?
After all, the fiercer the verbal battle, the higher his exposure.
Various speculations abound, but no one can provide concrete evidence, which only makes the controversy attract more and more attention.
at the same time.
Inside Gu Luo's bedroom.
Gu Ximan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, talking on the phone with Luo Shuning:
"Sister Ning, it was Zhao Shuo's brainless fans who started the trouble and started the insults. I support you, let's fight him to the end!"
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, let's do it."
Her voice was weak and airy, clearly indicating that she wasn't in a good mood at the moment.
Originally, she posted on Weibo to vent her anger for Gu Luo and to give Zhao Shuo a warning so that he would restrain his fans. However, she did not expect that the other party would not give her any face and would be so tough.
She knew in her heart that Zhao Shuo dared to do this either because he had someone backing him up, or because he was really stupid—and either way, Zhao Shuo was destined to get into big trouble.
Gu Luo sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the little girl's sullen face. He reached out and gently ruffled her hair, then took the phone from her hand and said in a deep voice into the receiver, "Da Bao, it's okay, we'll take care of him together."
At this point, it no longer matters who is right and who is wrong. Zhao Shuo's response has dragged Luo Shuning into it as well. All he can do is stand firmly on his side and support Luo Shuning.
Zhao Shuo has consistently allowed his fans to stir up trouble, which is indeed his problem.
Upon hearing Gu Luo's voice on the other end of the phone, Luo Shuning seemed to calm down a bit and softly replied, "Okay."
A single word conveyed a profound understanding.
After chatting for a while, Luo Shuning leaned against her desk and let out a deep breath after hanging up the phone.
She picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of warm water, her mind filled with doubt—was this Zhao Shuo's own idea, or a decision made by the company behind him?
If it was Zhao Shuo's own idea, then he was being far too impulsive; if it was the company's idea, then this move was too risky, practically gambling with his acting career.
Just as she was lost in thought, there was a soft knock on the bedroom door.
Luo Shuning immediately got up to open the door.
Tang Qi walked in carrying an exquisite fruit platter.
She walked straight to the desk, placed the fruit plate on it, and said bluntly, "It's Zhao Shuo's company's idea. I've already negotiated with them. You don't need to worry about the rest. Just focus on preparing for the Spring Festival Gala."
Luo Shuning was taken aback for a moment, then a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on her face: "Thank you for your trouble, Mother-in-law."
“What’s the trouble?” Tang Qi waved her hand, her tone serious and unquestionable: “You did the right thing this time. Even if you hadn’t posted that Weibo, I would have.”
Her thinking was simple: in the entertainment industry, would her son be bullied?
"Thank you, Grandma." Luo Shuning affectionately took her arm.
“If you keep being polite, I’ll get angry. Zhao Shuo has been letting his fans stir up trouble online. It’s time to do something about it.”
