Chapter 94 Public Opinion Storm
◎The essence is a series of murders.◎
Busy from day to afternoon, Quan Zhilong's phone never stopped ringing after the news report came out.
I was overwhelmed by incoming messages and calls.
If the person involved says he is not panicking, it is definitely a lie.
It was not what Song Yu thought. Quan Zhilong had received news a few days ago that he would be involved in a drug-related case involving an actor.
He is not a god. Even if he has been in the Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years, he is just an ordinary person if he does not take the initiative to make friends with those people.
He has more money than most people and has more ways to solve problems, but there are always better ways! In the eyes of those who want to deal with him, he is just a fat fish waiting to be slaughtered.
When Kwon Ji-yong learned from the news reports that he had become a suspect suspected by the police, he was also shocked.
When he first saw the news on his phone, Kwon Ji-yong wondered if someone with the same name as him had debuted in the music industry during the years when he was inactive.
Even his stage name GD is the same as his.
But the news picture above is clearly him, there is no doubt about it.
The report above said that he was involved in drugs this year. What ridiculous news.
After this news, Quan Zhilong's mobile phone was flooded with messages.
He had no time to care about the shock of his friends. At this time, he only chose to reply to the messages and phone calls from his family. He did not forget that he still had a baby daughter at that time. Although she was only three years old, it was unlikely that she would be exposed to such news without the company of adults.
It is impossible for his parents and his sister to tell Xiao Taotao such news.
Song Yu's parents would be even less likely to do that.
"Zhilong...what should we do?" Mother Quan's voice on the phone was trembling.
At that moment, his parents could no longer be Quan Zhilong's safe haven, but were the old people in the eye of the storm, tremblingly asking their son what to do.
Come to think of it, compared to people in his son's circle, they are just ordinary people.
Being rich in the eyes of the outside world is insignificant at this moment.
Of course, they didn't believe that their son would take drugs. Seeing her husband holding his granddaughter not far away, Xiao Taotao didn't know what was going on and watched her favorite pig cartoon with her grandfather.
But Mr. Quan was worried and kept looking at her while she was talking on the phone.
He also looks back from time to time to coax his little granddaughter.
When she saw Xiao Taotao, Mother Quan gritted her teeth as if she had received a shot of cardiac stimulant.
That’s right! There’s no way Kwon Ji-yong would take drugs.
According to what Zhilong confessed to them about Xiao Taotao, the child was born during the Spring Festival at the beginning of the year. From then on, Quan Zhilong began to hide the matter from them and raised the child by his side.
After they told the truth to the child's mother, it turned out that the two young people were raising the child in secret.
With Xiao Taotao by his side, would Zhilong take drugs?
How is that possible!
But when she thought of the overwhelming news reports on the Internet, Mother Quan felt like she couldn't breathe.
It's terrible, this is simply murder by public opinion.
How could these people treat Zhilong like this?
The first thing Quan Zhilong could do was to comfort his parents and ask them to take good care of Xiao Taotao.
"During this period..." He paused and continued, "If we find any reporters waiting here, we'll just send Taotao to her grandparents!"
The Quan family's parents and Quan Dami are both celebrities in the eyes of reporters. When something like this happens, they will definitely be watched in order to get first-hand information. At this time, the children they bring with them will become news materials that are delivered to their doorstep.
And his own residence would be closely guarded by media reporters squatting outside.
Even if it is just routine security, in the Hannam-dong high-end residential area which is famous for its strict security, there is nothing that these people who are motivated by huge profits will not do.
At times like this, the Song family members with ordinary faces are the safest. If necessary... Quan Zhilong also wants to send the children back to China.
Remembering her son's instructions on the phone, Mother Quan nodded in agreement. Before hanging up, she hesitantly asked, "Is it okay for the company to clarify the news at this time?"
Little did he know that Quan Zhilong sounded so helpless when he heard it.
"It's probably useless."
His eyes dimmed, a hint of self-mockery flashed in them, and the corners of his mouth curled up, making him look more like he was crying.
He quit smoking, but the habit of touching his pockets remained. He took out a lighter, but did not light it. Instead, he subconsciously turned it in his hand, as if he was playing with it.
Moreover, the truth that Kwon Ji-yong did not tell was that at that time he was no longer an artist of YG company, and the other party had no obligation to help him issue a public relations statement to clarify.
According to the company's previous public relations response strategy, he would probably just obey the police's arrangements and investigate thoroughly.
The company thought that he must have really smoked it.
Then a piece of news was released, suggesting that it had nothing to do with the company.
And now? He's not even a YG artist, so there's no need to even hint at it. He can just ignore it.
If it affects the company's stock price, the company will issue a clarifying public relations release.
See, it turns out that you, Kwon Ji-yong, know a lot about your former company.
What's more, such a thing has happened once before, and compared to his image in the public's mind, YG Entertainment is not much better.
Same low quality spots.
By the time the busy tone came, the person on the other end had already hung up.
The calmness in front of his mother was all a facade. Behind his parents' ears, Quan Zhilong muttered to himself in a self-deprecating tone, "Who else can help me now except myself?"
Those who believe in him will always believe in him, and those who are prejudiced against him will finally get what they want this time.
Wait and see how he will die this time.
GD will never be able to recover, right?
Unfortunately, he would not let these people get what they wanted. How could he let these people easily destroy his life that he had finally gotten better?
Before calling Quan Dami, he first opened the software that only had messages from Song Yu. The unanswered messages were just a few short sentences. He didn't know if she had seen the news in China at this time?
Will she be very scared?
Quan Zhilong didn't want to make her worry, but after typing the message, the last sentence he sent was just two short sentences, "Don't worry!"
"I'll be fine."
.
It was actually not difficult to go from being shocked by the initial news to calming down a day later. It was obvious that Quan Zhilong had been tricked.
A preemptive press release was released. For a top artist like him, the public outcry is the best weapon to deal with him, and it may also be a shield for some people to take the blame.
As for the police filing a case mentioned in the news report, at least after Quan Zhilong saw the news about his involvement in the case, he did not receive any notification from the police.
This suspect in the news has no place to vent his grievances.
I feel helpless and speechless.
Just like that, a case that only existed in public opinion was placed in front of Quan Zhilong, but the public would not think so. They would only think that his silence was equivalent to admission.
The longer he waited, the worse it was for him. He had no way to speak out, no way to defend himself, no way to...
Do you really want to wait for death?
Quan Zhilong decided to take the initiative. He had said in front of Song Yu that he would not wait, but he did not expect that it would be used in this way not long after.
On October 27, Quan Zhilong, who had been silent for two days, issued his first response to the public.
The response was issued through his own legal team. [Mr. G-Dragon issued a statement through his lawyers, denying the false allegations of drug use and stating that he would actively cooperate with the investigation.]
The brief and powerful response shows that the person involved is very confident. This is a unique response from Kwon Ji-yong after the actor's initial silence.
But the outside public opinion will not calm down because of this. Many people think that he is just being stubborn and give examples of many stubborn people in the entertainment industry.
The public has become immune to celebrities' responses to lawyers' letters.
Especially when it comes to news involving social crimes, there are many people who claim to be innocent and then change their words and admit to the crime.
The moment I was finally sentenced and went in is still vivid in my mind.
Isn’t he Kwon Ji-yong’s former teammate?
Only those around him know that he is really determined to deal with it.
Different false news stories are updated every day and then posted back to China's social media platforms.
After Song Yu returned to Beijing after the filming was completed, she has been staying at home to follow the news progress of Quan Zhilong. She even did what Quan Zhilong had planned to do when the accident first happened, which was to send Xiao Taotao back to China.
On the day he hired a legal team to issue a statement, Song's parents flew back to Beijing from Seoul with Xiao Taotao. The two elders were also worried about their daughter's condition, so they simply took the child to live with her in their home in Beijing, and helped her take care of the child and share her attention.
They were also aware that Quan Zhilong was being framed, but at the same time, they could not provide any useful help to these young people.
"It's okay. I want to thank you."
With Taotao and his parents in the room, Song Yu felt his emotions became more stable.
Don't let yourself be distracted by watching the news.
But the outrageousness of these news reports still far exceeded her expectations.
These people really want Quan Zhilong to die quickly!
The first wave of rumors was that [Kwon Ji-yong was suspected of drug use and was filed a case].
In fact, they received internal information about the investigation and knew that Quan Zhilong's name was implicated. However, these three words alone were enough to make the front page of tomorrow's news. He was a top-notch figure.
When the person concerned saw the news and immediately hired a team of lawyers to deal with the case, he actually discovered that the police had not filed a case against him!
For the second wave of rumors, [the police have sufficient evidence].
In fact, the police only found the name "Quan Zhilong" in personal chat messages on other suspects' mobile phones. With the evidence they had, let alone filing a case, they did not even have enough evidence to summon the parties for investigation, so they could not summon Quan Zhilong.
The third wave of rumors: [Kwon Ji-yong used full body hair removal to evade police pursuit].
In fact, I provided enough hair for testing.
The fourth wave of rumors
Day after day is like watching a series of weird and melodramatic dramas. The man who talks to his girlfriend on the phone late at night has a tone full of fatigue.
But it was also like he was telling Song Yu some ridiculous joke, and he ended up laughing as he kept telling it.
Song Yu listened helplessly to the deep laughter of the person over there. Her voice, nestled in the quilt, sounded a bit buzzing. She whispered, "Ah~ You're still laughing."
It’s as if the person mentioned in these false news is not you.
Quan Zhilong himself is the one who is framed in different ways every day, but when he talks to her on the phone, he is as happy as a little fool.
Doesn’t he have an account on a Chinese social media platform?
Isn’t he quite good at using a translator to secretly see what his fans are saying about him?
Does he know how badly these netizens say about him?
Song Yu wanted to yell at the crowd.
Damn, you should do some good deeds!
Is Kwon Ji-Ryong an unforgivable criminal?
If he could cover the sky with one hand, he wouldn't be so unlucky.
During this period, Quan Zhilong's voice changed. The voice that he deliberately lowered during the day was also brought to his calls with her at night. It was only after Song Yu said that she was not used to hearing the "accusations" that this man stopped pretending.
She returned to her babyish voice and chuckled, "Otherwise, just laugh if you think it's funny!"
In view of the current situation, he was banned from leaving the country, and all the good plans he had made before the 25th were completely ruined.
Every day, Quan Zhilong was exhausted watching the team of lawyers he hired discussing how to respond to media rumors and verbal attacks against the media. He was also asked to rush to the police for investigation as a suspect, not knowing who the police were.
Thinking about how he had actually been caught up in such a speechless incident, Quan Zhilong got angry whenever he talked about it.
They really became lovers who could not meet each other, and could only talk about their recent situation during late-night video calls.
Song Yu poked the face on the screen and said softly, "I miss you."
The emotion in his voice carried a sense of grievance that she was not aware of.
What's the big deal!
His girlfriend said in a coquettish way that she missed him, and Quan Zhilong's heart softened when he heard it, and he hummed softly, "Me too."
Miss you.
