Chapter 309: Counterattack Starts Now
Xia Lili clicked on the clip sent by Jiang Yun, and after watching it for a few seconds, she excitedly clenched her phone.
This vague but crucial conversation is undoubtedly important evidence to expose Su Wanqing's lies!
What made her even more excited was that Jiang Yun mentioned that this was the material he had just requested from the photographer yesterday.
This meant that he stayed up almost all night, searching frame by frame through a large number of backstage videos.
Xia Lili immediately dialed the number, her voice filled with uncontrollable gratitude: "Jiang Yun, this video is so important! Thank you so much... Thank you so much. You didn't get any rest all night, did you?"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yun's voice sounded relaxed but warm: "What's the big deal? I'm glad I can help you."
He paused, and his tone became extremely serious: "Lili, you don't need to be polite to me."

At 11 o'clock in the morning, Su Wanqing's live broadcast of her retirement from the entertainment industry began on time.
Xia Lili was already prepared, with her notebook open.
In the online video conferencing software, Heqi Entertainment's legal team was on standby, recording every possible flaw in her live broadcast in real time.
In the live broadcast, Su Wanqing was in tears, her voice choked with sobs, as she expressed her longing for the stage and her reluctance to leave music: "I really... never thought I would leave the stage forever in this way."
"Losing my hearing is like losing the meaning of my entire life..."
Her voice was filled with sorrow, and every word was carefully crafted to touch the tears of her fans.
The comments were already flooded with messages like "I feel sorry for you, sister" and "We'll always be with you," interspersed with increasingly heated voices: "Xia Xubai and Heqi Entertainment must give an explanation!" "We can't just let this go!"
Xia Lili's eyes were calm, and the tip of her pen occasionally moved across the paper.
The more moving this performance of retreat in order to advance is, the deeper the flaws are often hidden.
Xia Lili switched to her own secondary account and mingled with the comments in the live broadcast room, raising a seemingly relevant but actually pointed question:
"Sis, since this is so serious, why don't you unite with other people who may be affected to defend their rights?"
"Why did you suddenly become deaf in both ears? Is it because you were standing closest to the speakers?"
"Or... do you have any previous ear problems?"
These questions were like a stone thrown into a lake, instantly causing ripples.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of accounts arranged by Xia Lili's team began to flood the screen with messages, repeatedly asking:
"Yes, why is Su Wanqing the only one who is deaf?"
"Were there really no problems with your ears before? How could you become completely deaf after just one accident?"
"Everyone else at the scene is fine, why is your condition so serious? Is your hearing not very good?"
Faced with the overwhelming doubts, Su Wanqing was obviously a little flustered.
She cannot turn a blind eye to the questions raised by so many "fans", otherwise the public opinion will be distorted.
Su Wanqing could only respond calmly:
"I really have always had very healthy ears."
"This time it was because I was wearing an in-ear monitor. The piercing sound went straight through it, like a needle piercing my eardrum..."
"I've never experienced such severe pain..."
Before she finished speaking, Xia Lili and the legal team's eyes lit up almost at the same time.
This is exactly what I want!
"I've always had very healthy ears."
Su Wanqing personally denied in front of thousands of viewers that she had any history of hearing problems.
Xia Lili quickly marked and archived this clip.
Su Wanqing personally tore a fatal hole in her own lie.
…
Less than an hour after Su Wanqing's farewell live broadcast ended, her studio quickly released a sternly worded "solemn statement" through major social platforms, which quickly became a hot topic.
The statement bluntly pointed the finger at the concert organizers, Heqi Entertainment, and Xia Xubai Studio:
"Our artist, Ms. Su Wanqing, suffered irreversible and severe damage to her health due to a major on-site accident while performing as a guest singer at the first stop of the 'Xia Xubai Tour'."
"Preliminary independent professional testing and analysis determined that the cause of the accident was a sudden malfunction of the core audio equipment on site. The organizers were seriously negligent in their safety inspections and management, failing to fulfill their basic safety obligations."
"We are extremely shocked and outraged by this incident and are determined to protect the legitimate rights and interests of our artists. We have officially initiated legal proceedings and will pursue all legal responsibilities against those responsible. We will resolutely defend our rights to the end!"
The statement was strong and resolute in every word, instantly igniting the already emotional fan base and once again directing public opinion towards Xia Xubai and Heqi Entertainment.
Xia Lili and Heqi Entertainment have not responded since last night, and netizens believe that they are pretending to be dead.
Little did they know that the entire team was running at high speed.
At exactly three o'clock in the afternoon, Mingzhou called on time.
"Lili, good news!" His voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "The shareholders at the Mayo Clinic have sent word that Su Wanqing's attending physician has agreed to testify in court!"
Mingzhou continued with a firm tone, "We not only received the doctor's verbal commitment, but also obtained his personally signed letter of intent."
"Although the letter did not directly disclose Su Wanqing's specific condition, it clearly stated that she had visited the hospital's otolaryngology department as early as December 31st of last year."
Ming Zhou slowed down his speech slightly and emphasized, "This indirectly confirms that Su Wanqing had ear problems before. Once the doctor takes the witness stand, her lies will be exposed."
Xia Lili held the phone tightly, and a bright smile finally appeared in her eyes.
As the entire day passed, public opinion on the Internet was almost one-sidedly sympathetic to Su Wanqing and fiercely criticized Xia Xubai and Heqi Entertainment.
The next morning, the official account of Heqi Entertainment suddenly released a sharp lawsuit announcement, like a thunderbolt splitting the noisy public opinion field!
The announcement clearly stated that Su Wanqing and her team have been formally prosecuted for suspected subjective malicious fraud, false accusation and frame-up, and huge contract fraud.
The content of the blog post goes straight to the core, accusing Su Wanqing of deliberately concealing her illness even though she knew that her ear disease was serious and she could not continue to engage in performing activities, and still signed a large number of global tours and business cooperation contracts; she even colluded with team members to carefully plan and direct an "accident" at Xia Xubai's concert. Her behavior is despicable and the impact is extremely bad!
Almost at the same time, several authoritative entertainment marketing accounts arranged by Mingzhou simultaneously released heavy evidence: a video clip leaked from the backstage of last year's swimming invitational tournament.
In the video, Su Wanqing is talking in a low voice with her male assistant, and her anxious words can be clearly heard: "My ears are getting harder and harder to hear. What should I do with the commercial performances later..."
