Chapter 47
When #XingchenArtistHeTongSuspectedOfCriminalCommittee# appeared on the trending search list, it shocked many netizens. Many quickly clicked on the topic, and the more they read, the more they felt the weight of the melon in their hands grow heavier.
A group of people who don't follow the entertainment industry have gathered under the accusation Weibo, and are helping the blogger to curse the murderer and various big Vs in the circle. The number of comments and reposts is increasing rapidly.
Can anyone really be a star these days? The entertainment industry is such a den of filth. This name sounds familiar; I seemed to see it quite often recently. I remember him livestreaming and posting acting videos daily, and he even won an award at the Golden Carp Awards. I checked on Baidu, and he's actually starring in next year's public welfare TV series? Can't the director check his character before casting him? This murderer is nineteen, but wasn't he only fifteen four years ago? He was such a beast at fifteen, and who knows what he'll do next. Those more familiar with the entertainment industry were relatively calmer. They'd already sensed from the rapidly rising popularity and the tactics used by some of the "troll army" (scammers) that there was someone behind this.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that a newly registered account has not even been verified, and the Weibo posts have not been forwarded by any influential traffic big V. In order to get on the hot search, it must have bought it at the beginning.
So although calm passersby helped to forward and spread the message, they also left a message saying "Please help spread the truth."
Tongze fans were very panicked, but because the studio usually has good discipline, everyone is used to discussing things in the group first, so they did not speak carelessly on Weibo.
Things started to ferment rapidly in the morning. As soon as Fang Chen learned the news, he immediately sent out his online troll army to guide public opinion, saying "let the bullets fly for three days" and "wait for the official announcement" to suppress the anger of netizens first.
At this time, He Tong was filming a solo dance scene.
This dance runs through his entire unit and appears twice. What he is filming now is the scene when it appears for the first time, which is the climax of the first half of the plot.
He Tong danced three times in total before the director finished shooting the three shots he wanted: long, medium, and close. When he walked off the stage, he was sweating in the middle of winter.
Xiao Zheng handed him a towel in time and helped him put on his coat.
He Tong wiped the sweat off his face as he walked towards the dressing room. It was lunch time.
Xiao Zheng followed closely beside him and told the story in a low voice.
The staff along the way were all secretly looking at He Tong, but He Tong did not look away and walked through the crowd slowly as usual, as if he did not notice anything unusual.
When he returned to the dressing room, he saw Fang Chen sitting there with a sullen face, browsing on his tablet.
He Tong walked straight to the back of the room, pulled up the curtain, and changed his clothes, while asking, "What's the situation now?"
Fang Chen: "It's still under control for now. Should we remove the trending search first?"
He Tong was very calm: "I can't withdraw it. With the current popularity, whether I withdraw the trending search or send a lawyer's letter, I will definitely be ridiculed for being guilty."
Fang Chen couldn't help but curse.
He Tong walked out, took the phone from Xiao Zheng, and first watched the video accusing him.
Fang Chen watched patiently with him: "Do you recognize this person?"
He Tong shook his head: "I have no impression at all."
Fang Chen tapped the table irritably. "He's pretending to be so convincing. With such great acting skills, why doesn't he join the entertainment industry?"
He Tong watched the video in silence and directly reposted it on Weibo to respond.
@贺同V: I don't know you, and I don't know what happened to your sister. If she's been assaulted, please call the police. If they deem my cooperation necessary, I will fulfill my duty as a citizen. //@Give my sister justice: ...
When Fang Chen saw that he had posted on Weibo, he immediately bought promotions and recruited internet trolls, and used #贺同反馈# to suppress the previous entry.
As soon as this response came out, voices from several directions immediately appeared online.
Some came over and continued to curse, while others were willing to believe it first, but the majority said they would wait for the results of the investigation.
After forwarding the message, He Tong threw his phone aside and began to wolf down his lunch. Dancing is physically demanding, and he had filmed three scenes in the morning, so he was starving.
Fang Chen said to him angrily: "You can still eat it? I'm so angry that I'm full of it."
He Tong finished his meal in a flash, wiping his mouth calmly as he said, "Getting angry won't solve the problem. Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. Only when you're full can you have the strength to think of a solution. Besides, I didn't leave Yancheng at all four years ago. I'll just wait for the police to investigate."
Fang Chen sighed with a headache. "The disgusting thing about this kind of thing is that it's impossible to explain it clearly! The other party can say that it's been too long and the evidence is gone, or even imply that we have the power to interfere with judicial justice. In short, they're holding on to you, and you can't get rid of it even if you peel off your skin."
As the two were talking, Tang Chengzhi, the director in charge of this area, suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
Fang Chen frowned and wanted to speak, but He Tong stopped him and said with a smile, "Did Director Tang give me a day off?"
When something like this happens, it's normal for the crew to stop and discuss whether to change the cast.
Unexpectedly, Tang Chengzhi raised an eyebrow and replied, "What good things are you thinking? You are the protagonist. Everyone has to stop working when we have a holiday. Do you know how much money the crew wastes if they stop working for a day?"
He Tong and Fang Chen were both a little stunned and looked at each other.
Tang Chengzhi patted He Tong's shoulder and said, "I just came to tell you that filming is going on as normal. Don't be late this afternoon."
After saying that, he waved his hand and left in style.
At this time, Fang Chen received a voice message from Fang Qi.
"I've already discussed this with the crew. If this unit can't be used later, we'll cover all the filming costs and double the money for reshoots. Don't worry, just continue filming as normal. There are a lot of reporters and paparazzi swarming the studios, so I've dispatched a team of bodyguards. They'll be there around 10 PM. Please be careful."
Fang Chen touched his nose and said, "Boss, this is really fast."
He Tong spread his hands and said, "Alright, let's do what we need to do. Let's wait and see what the other party is going to do."
After the show in the afternoon, He Tong met Ye Yuze who came to pick him up.
The two took a nanny car back to the hotel's underground parking lot. As soon as they got out of the car, they were surrounded by many reporters and paparazzi who were experienced in blocking people.
Four bodyguards and the security guards that Fang Chen had contacted with the hotel in advance surrounded the man and moved towards the elevator with difficulty.
The reporters outside were trying desperately to squeeze in, shouting all kinds of questions.
"He Tong, do you recognize the person who accused you?"
"He Tong, why did it take them four years to find you? Did you offend someone?"
"Will you quit the current crew?"
"Will you really cooperate with the police investigation? Is Chairman Qiming's wife's nephew you or Ye Yuze?"
"What do you think about this matter? Tell me!"
Just when everyone finally reached the elevator, a long microphone broke through the protective circle and poked straight towards Ye Yuze's face.
He Tong quickly grabbed Ye Yuze and pulled him into his arms, while at the same time reaching out to grab the microphone and pushed it away.
A scream suddenly rang out from the outside, and the voices of others paused briefly.
He Tong took advantage of the momentary silence to push Ye Yuze into the elevator first, then stood in front of the door and said loudly to everyone, "What I want to say is what I posted on Weibo at noon. If you have any questions, please let the police contact me."
After saying that, he turned and entered the elevator.
The hotel security formed a human wall to block the elevator door, which allowed the elevator to close smoothly and move up.
Fang Chen hammered the elevator wall: "Which bastard is stabbing me from behind?"
He Tong was busy checking on his brother Ye: "Brother, are you hurt anywhere?"
While Ye Yuze was comforting him, he instructed Lingling, "Send the video first."
Lingling was processing the video with her head down. "Don't worry, boss. I won't give those reporters a chance to write nonsense!"
He Tong: "Pass it to me, I'll post it."
As soon as he got out of the elevator, He Tong posted on Weibo.
@贺同V: Don't bother to surround me. That's my stance. If you have any questions, have the police contact me.
As soon as this video of his was released, the number of people willing to believe him increased significantly.
After discussing in the group for a day, the fans of Tongze were relieved a little.
【Tongtong is so stubborn, that thing must be fake.】
[This camera shake is making me dizzy. The situation must have been terrible at the scene. Those reporters are terrifying.] [The microphone almost hit Master Ze! Luckily Tongtong got to him in time!] [Who on earth is slandering Tongzi again? How despicable!]
I decided to send them a box of windmills. New Year's is coming soon, so I'd like to wish them good luck. [Uncle police, please come out and say something, please.]
[By the way, did they call the police? He looks so angry in the video. Why didn't he stand up for his sister four years ago?] As we were discussing this, the accuser, who had been silent since posting a Weibo post, finally responded.
This time it was still a video, and the person was even more excited and angry than last time.
"He Tong, don't provoke me! Do you think that we don't have any evidence and that even if we call the police, they can't do anything to you? Unfortunately, we have irrefutable evidence of your crime! My sister gave birth to a child back then! You didn't expect that, did you? Although I don't want to say this, I have to thank that child for being able to peel off the human skin on you!
"Back when I was working away from home, you bullied my parents and sister because they were honest and timid! Now that I'm back, don't think you can just let this go! My sister wasn't even fourteen back then, and you're going to go to jail!"
The man also took out an enlarged photo of a child. The three-year-old child still had baby fat on his face, but it could be seen that he was somewhat similar to He Tong, especially his eyes.
A new wave of discussion immediately broke out online.
[There's actually a child! The murderer can't escape now!]
[Beast! How dare you attack a little girl!]
Unfortunately, the murderer was only fifteen at the time of the crime, still a minor, so the sentence couldn't be too severe. [And the police? Why haven't they spoken out yet? This has become such a big deal, have they filed a case?] Concerned netizens, bystanders, haters, and online trolls all joined together, instantly pushing #贺同# to the top of the trending searches.
However, after seeing this video, everyone in He Tong's team felt greatly relieved.
In this kind of situation, we are not afraid of the other party having evidence, but we are afraid of the other party being vague and allowing people to make groundless guesses.
He Tong immediately forwarded the reply
@贺同V: I'm waiting for news from the police. I believe the police won't let a bad guy go, nor will they wrongly accuse a good person.
Before going to bed at night, He Tong lay down on the bed first and watched the two recorded videos again.
Ye Yuze came back after washing up and glanced at his phone: "Why are you still looking at it? Are you making things difficult for yourself?"
He Tong turned over and leaned on his brother Ye.
"I see he's so confident, maybe what he said about his sister is really true."
"His sister was assaulted, and what he should have done is to report the incident to the police with evidence, instead of directly accusing you before reaching a conclusion."
Ye Yuze took He Tong's phone away, retreated to the table, locked the screen, and put it aside. Then he leaned down and kissed He Tong on the lips.
He Tong raised his hands to hold Ye Yuze in his arms, pressing the back of his head to deepen the kiss...
The next day, netizens opened Weibo early again, hoping to hear a statement from the police.
However, everyone was surprised to find that all the Weibo posts of @还我妹妹辉道 had been cleared!
This immediately sparked speculation and anger about the "shady dealings" among the public, who flocked to He Tong's Weibo. The more rational ones simply asked questions, while the more radical ones directly attacked him with insults.
As soon as He Tong and Ye Yuze got up, they received the latest situation report from Lingling.
Ye Yuze frowned: "What on earth do they want to do over there?"
He Tong just smiled and said, "It's okay. As long as we expose everything to the sun, no one will say anything to us anymore."
He directly posted again
@贺同V: I don’t know what the situation is with @给我妹妹义道 (Give my sister justice), but since he can’t speak, I’ll speak for him.
Afterwards, He Tong posted the two videos he had recorded previously on his Weibo.
Seeing him so frank, the excited netizens finally calmed down a little.
Not long after, the local police in the accuser's area also issued an announcement stating that a case had been filed and was under investigation.
Netizens waited patiently and checked in on the police and He Tong’s Weibo every day.
Finally, five days later, the police released a report on the progress of the case, stating that the DNA test results showed that the child and He, whom the reporter suspected, were not father and son.
There was an uproar on the Internet, and #贺同# once again became the top trending search.
At the same time, the investigating officer was also asking He Tongxun, who was awaiting the results: "Mr. He, thank you for cooperating with our police work. The child is indeed not yours, but he is indeed related to you. Can you provide us with any clues?"
