Although Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan have initially clarified the facts amidst the vortex of rumors in the entertainment industry, the aftershocks of the rumors are still lingering. They know that they must take the initiative to completely shatter these malicious rumors in order to truly restore their reputation and solidify their position.
Jun Mo Ran calmly analyzed the current situation. He knew that the rumors could spread so quickly and have such a huge impact because there must be a force deliberately pushing them behind the scenes. "Yi Chen, this is by no means a random rumor. Lin Yu may have others helping him. We need to start by investigating his interpersonal relationships and those who have had business dealings with him recently," Jun Mo Ran said firmly.
Ling Yichen nodded in agreement. Although he was still troubled by the rumors, seeing Jun Mozhan so calm and composed, he gradually calmed down. "Brother Jun is absolutely right. We cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom. We must let the truth come out, clear our names, and give our fans an explanation."
So they began to secretly investigate Lin Yu's social circle. After a thorough investigation, they discovered that Lin Yu had a close relationship with Zhao Xuan, a highly influential opera critic in Beijing's entertainment industry. Recently, Zhao Xuan had repeatedly questioned Ling Yichen and Jun Moran's performances in public. Although his words seemed objective and fair, he always managed to subtly guide public opinion, causing some uninformed viewers to become suspicious of them.
Jun Mo Ran frowned, realizing that Zhao Xuan was very likely one of the masterminds behind this rumor storm. "Yi Chen, this Zhao Xuan is not simple. His status in the entertainment industry makes his words carry a lot of weight. If we can win his support, we might be able to turn the tide; but if he insists on being our enemy, then we must find his weakness and expose his true colors."
Ling Yichen gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Jun, no matter what, we cannot back down. Our acting career has come a long way, and we cannot let these petty people ruin it so easily."
They decided to try contacting Zhao Xuan directly first to understand his intentions. One afternoon, Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran went to Zhao Xuan's residence together. Along the way, Ling Yichen was somewhat uneasy, unsure how Zhao Xuan would treat them. Jun Mo Ran seemed to read his mind, gently patting his shoulder to encourage him.
When he saw Zhao Xuan, he wore a slightly arrogant smile. "What brings you two gentlemen here today?" Zhao Xuan asked, feigning ignorance.
Jun Mo Ran took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are highly respected in the entertainment industry, and we have always held you in the highest esteem. However, we suspect that the recent rumors about me are related to you. Why are you treating us this way?"
Zhao Xuan sneered and said, "Young Master Jun, the entertainment industry is a highly competitive place. The two of you have been too popular lately, stealing the spotlight from too many people. Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied. I was just expressing some of the doubts that the audience had."
Ling Yichen couldn't help but say, "Mr. Zhao, your so-called doubts are nothing but baseless rumors. What you are doing is misleading the public and undermining the fairness and justice of the entertainment industry."
Zhao Xuan's face darkened, and he said, "Young Master Ling, don't make baseless accusations. I'm just stating the facts. If you want to prove your innocence, then produce the evidence."
The meeting with Zhao Xuan ended unhappily, but Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan gleaned an important message from his words: they needed stronger evidence to prove their innocence.
Back at the opera troupe, they began to reconstruct the entire incident, searching for any potentially overlooked clues. In this process, they unexpectedly discovered a financial dispute between Lin Yu and Zhao Xuan. Lin Yu had promised Zhao Xuan a large sum of money to help suppress Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, so that Lin Yu could gain more resources and opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Jun Mo Ran's eyes lit up, and he said, "Yi Chen, this is their weakness. As long as we make this public, they will be unable to continue their evil deeds."
However, Ling Yichen had some concerns. "Brother Jun, while this might resolve the immediate crisis, won't it drag us into an endless struggle with them? After all, they have a certain foundation in the entertainment industry."
Jun Mo Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Yi Chen, we have no way out. If we don't resolve this matter completely, they will come up with other ways to deal with us in the future. We must let everyone know that we will not be easily bullied, and at the same time set a fair example for the entertainment industry."
Looking into Jun Mo Ran's resolute eyes, Ling Yichen's worries gradually dissipated. He knew that Jun Mo Ran was right; they had to bravely face everything.
In the days that followed, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran continued to gather evidence while actively preparing for potential retaliation. They knew that this battle was not only for their own reputations, but also for upholding justice and fairness in the entertainment industry.
Finally, at the opportune moment, they exposed the conspiracy between Lin Yu and Zhao Xuan, along with the relevant evidence. The entire entertainment industry in Beijing was shocked, and audiences condemned Lin Yu and Zhao Xuan's despicable actions. Fans who had been misled by rumors realized they had wronged Ling Yichen and Jun Moran, and they returned to express their support and apologies.
In this turmoil, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan's relationship also underwent a severe test. Facing difficulties, they always trusted and supported each other without wavering.
Once, in the backyard of the opera troupe, Ling Yichen watched Jun Mozhan's busy figure, his heart filled with gratitude. "Brother Jun, if you hadn't stayed by my side throughout this crisis, I really wouldn't know how to cope. Your calmness, wisdom, and determination have given me immense strength."
Jun Mo Ran stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Ling Yi Chen, and said with a smile, "Yi Chen, we are brothers, partners, and each other's strongest support in this entertainment industry. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together and never abandon each other."
Ling Yichen stepped forward, grasped Jun Mozhan's hand tightly, and said, "Brother Jun, after this incident, I understand even more how precious our friendship is. From now on, we must cherish each other even more and work together to create more brilliance in the entertainment industry."
Jun Mo Ran nodded slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future. "That's right, Yi Chen. This incident is just a small episode in our acting career. There are many more challenges waiting for us in the future, but as long as we stay true to each other, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
With the rumors completely extinguished, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran threw themselves back into their demanding acting careers. They knew that this ordeal had made them more mature and resilient, and their on-screen couple image had become even more unbreakable after weathering the storm. With this unwavering belief and the support of their fans, they would continue to write their legendary story in the ancient entertainment industry, repaying the audience who had always trusted and loved them with brilliant performances.
