"Can't you go by yourself?" Hua Changle asked.
It didn't address the key point about needing her help.
Qiao Risheng said with a bitter face, "I can't leave the Feng family's sight now, but my body can't hold up anymore. I urgently need the spirit-suppressing stone, so I have to ask someone for help."
We contacted you because you're from the Hua family, and because that painting is in the hands of the Wolf Lord of District Nine.
"What?!"
Hua Changle was shocked by the fact that he had won the lottery three times.
"You want me to go to District Nine to find the painting for you?"
Qiao Risheng nodded.
No! You absolutely cannot go to District Nine!
422's sudden loud voice startled Hua Changle:
Why are you shouting so loudly? You scared me to death!
422's voice was very serious:
I'm telling you, no! You absolutely cannot go to District Nine!
District Nine? What kind of place is that? You think you can just go there like that? It's incredibly dangerous there, as the original story has already explained. Who do you think you are? How many lives do you think you have to dare go to a place like that?
You're a system host who's trying to win over family members and become their darling, not a benevolent philanthropist. Just do what you're supposed to do and don't get involved in so much messy stuff. You...
Hua Changle: "..."
She was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment:
"Bunny, what's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly? I only mentioned it briefly..."
422 remained silent for a while, as if calming down, before replying:
[I apologize for my outburst. I remember seeing a host who died in the chaos of war, and it reminded me of something unpleasant. I'm sorry.]
Hua Changle's strangeness vanished instantly:
"Oh, I see. It's alright. I just don't understand why you reacted so strongly."
"But, bunny."
Hua Changledao:
"Although District Nine is located on the border of the Old Ruins and is a notorious bloodbath, I can still help my friends if they need it. But would it be wrong to refuse out of fear?"
【But……】
"Don't rush, listen to me."
Of course I wouldn't go rashly. If I did go, firstly, I would definitely have to find Anning or my brothers and bring some people with me.
Secondly, don't forget, I also have connections when I go there. Crow, he's one of the Wolf Lord's top generals.
I'm just looking for paintings; I won't get involved in local sectarian disputes.
"...Go home first and discuss it with the Hua family before we talk about it."
"good."
When Hua Changle came to her senses again, she saw the disappointed look in Qiao Risheng's eyes.
He misinterpreted her silence as a rejection.
"Tell me first, where exactly is that painting, and who has it?"
Qiao Risheng's eyes regained their light:
"To be precise, the painting was in the hands of a female painter—Lu Wanyi, who was the Wolf Lord's adopted sister."
Hua Changle thought for a moment and said:
"After all, the Wolf Lord is the overlord of a place like the Ninth District, so this matter is not so easy to resolve."
I need to go home and discuss it with my family first. If it's possible, I'll contact you again.
"Okay, okay, okay." Qiao Risheng couldn't hide his joy.
When Hua Changle brought up the Feng family again, Qiao Risheng's expression turned slightly cold.
"Over the years, I have done more than enough."
Feng Yuexin is trying to string me along to use my reputation to make money for the Feng family. I don't want to let her continue like this. I want to force her to say "divorce" herself.
"How do we do it?"
Qiao Risheng smiled slightly:
"I was already doing it when the live broadcast started."
Fragments of memories flashed through Hua Changle's mind, and he suddenly realized:
"As expected of a veteran in the industry, he is very adept at using public opinion."
Just one hour after the two parted,
Online —
Famous actor Qiao Risheng was a son-in-law who married into his wife's family.
"A rich heiress marries a poor boy"
News broke that "Qiao Risheng made his fortune off a woman but then neglected her"!
Several major platforms and marketing accounts simultaneously voiced their opinions, presenting a wealth of well-founded evidence.
The topic directly targets Qiao Risheng.
The topic's popularity far surpassed previous rumors of "domestic violence."
Qiao Risheng's Weibo account quickly fell into chaos, and various fan groups began to descend into disarray.
A movie star who has been deeply rooted in the industry for nearly 20 years was subjected to a barrage of negative comments in just over an hour.
[I don't believe it! My brother couldn't possibly be that kind of person! I've personally witnessed how he's worked his way up step by step over the years, and this must be a rumor spread by someone!]
My brother's achievements are evident to all, and his hard work is clear to everyone. He is a very gentle, gentlemanly, and dedicated actor, and I firmly support him!
[Hilarious, they've confirmed it, fans, stop trying to defend them!]
[I knew Qiao Qiao Risheng didn't look like a good person! He looks so sleazy!]
I'm a hater of his looks, but I'm not against him, though I'm definitely a gigolo!
[Everyone on the show could tell that your brother at home is just someone who serves tea, water, and washes feet for others!]
[Criticism is fine, but don't discriminate based on profession!]
But something's strange, isn't this a bit too much? It seems a bit deliberate.
This just shows that Qiao is a morally corrupt person and everyone deserves to kill him!
The fans and haters were locked in a fierce battle, while a large number of onlookers also joined the fray.
Many independent media outlets are already gathering materials to promote the hot melon while it's still going strong.
However, to the dismay of fans, Qiao Risheng's official studio has not yet issued a clear response.
When Hua Changle returned home, the online public opinion had already taken off, creating a storm of controversy.
