Chapter 38



The revelations posted on the Internet mainly point to two aspects.

First, the couple was only married once, so Tao Tao was most likely not their biological child.

There is no solid evidence for this accusation yet, so at most it can only increase netizens' suspicions about the matter.

What really sparked netizens' outrage was the second piece of information released, a recording. According to the publisher, this recording was accidentally recorded, and it shows Tao Tao's so-called "parents" beating and scolding her.

In the recording, the sounds of hitting the human body, the sounds of insults, and the little girl's cries for mercy are intertwined, making people feel creepy even just by listening to the sounds.

Some netizens who are sensitive and compassionate could not help but shed tears just by listening to the sound.

[Oh my god… I couldn’t bear to listen any further after listening to half of it!]

[What kind of cruel parents must they be to do such a heartless thing!]

I'm really about to curse! If some people can't be parents, then they shouldn't be! Children aren't your toys, to be played with when you're happy and thrown aside when you're unhappy, or to be beaten or scolded!

[Some people are truly unfit to be parents!]

[Just listening to the sound is already very uncomfortable... The little girl inside is crying so pitifully 55555]

Some netizens also remained skeptical.

[SRDS, this is just a recording. We haven't even seen the faces of the people. How can we be sure that this is Tao Tao and her parents?]

[I had this suspicion, too, so I used audio software to compare the voices of Tao Tao's father, mother, and Tao Tao on the show with the voices in this audio clip (Screenshot 1) (Screenshot 2). I'm over 99% sure the voices in this audio clip are Tao Tao and her parents!]

[Wow, wow, wow… Watching Taotao's performance on the show, I was still wondering what kind of family could raise such a little angel. I never imagined that little angel could be living in hell…]

[Oh my god! I didn’t want to cry, but after reading your comments, I couldn’t help but cry…]

[I listened carefully to the audio and heard the term "losing money" several times... I now understand why Taotao is so sensitive to this term...]

[They are not fit to be parents!!!]

In the Internet cafe.

After posting the explosive content and looking at the reactions on the Internet, Yu Shaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned to look at Guan Yushuang, "Thank you, Shuangshuang."

Yu Shaomei knew how cautious Guan Yushuang was. Although she was anonymous, she couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't be exposed. The fact that Guan Yushuang would condone her actions and even accompany her on such a risk was beyond her expectations.

"Okay, now that the problem has been resolved, let's eat first." Guan Yushuang spoke, breaking the sentimental atmosphere.

Hearing Guan Yushuang's words, Yu Shaomei was slightly stunned at first, then she pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Yeah."

When #BabyWhereareYouGoing? Taotao's Life Story# first became a hot topic, netizens were mainly just watching the show and did not lean towards either side.

Only viewers who have watched the show will subconsciously lean towards Taotao.

Following the release of these two pieces of information, other people who had come into contact with Tao Tao's family were also encouraged by this behavior and began to anonymously voice their opinions online.

[I'm often at the film and television city for work, but I won't reveal the specifics. Taotao is a very famous child star there. Because it's close to the city, the price is cheap, and she's open to almost any role, so many productions look for her.

But how many child actors actually have the final say in which roles they take? Besides, doesn't the money they make go directly into their parents' pockets?

[I can't reveal my occupation for work reasons, but I've worked with Taotao before. On set, her parents really didn't care much about her... So when I saw the online revelations, I wasn't really surprised, I just felt a little sorry for this little girl.]

[Seeing the trending search, I just want to applaud. Taotao is really pitiful. To be frank, even slave owners in the old society would not treat their laborers like this!

I can't reveal too much, but as a friendly reminder, you can look for Taotao's schedule for announcements...it's really, wow...]

When I was interviewing other celebrities, I visited the set. I happened to run into Taotao and her parents. Her... well, her mom, she was walking in front, oblivious to Taotao, who was practically running to catch up. At the time, I just thought it was tough for this little girl, but now I remember, it was actually Taotao.

As more and more people came out to expose the truth, public opinion on the Internet gradually tilted in favor of Taotao.

Without waiting for netizens to manually dig up the itinerary themselves, Zuo Yangxia had already sent someone to post the content of the previous investigation on the Internet under the anonymous identity of the so-called "industry staff."

As for the other videos, Zuo Yangxia has not released them all at once yet.

After all, when fighting a war of public opinion, you cannot release all the content at once. Instead, you have to release information one by one according to the specific situation to ensure maximum attention.

The moment they saw the densely packed schedule, almost all the netizens who were following this incident couldn't help but gasp. Many netizens rubbed their eyes, thinking they had seen it wrong.

[Wow? Is this a normal schedule? Is this reasonable?]

I'm speechless. To be frank, even many adult celebrities probably don't have such a full schedule, let alone Taotao, who's still just a little kid!

[People who have followed Xiao Hudou said...my Xiao Hudou's schedule is much shorter than Taotao's (stunned)]

[This kind of itinerary...isn't it really killing people? Can a child's body handle it?]

I've seen some of Tao Tao's dramas... the intensity of filming is actually quite high, and this kind of schedule is really overloaded.

[Emmm… Just a reminder: Taotao is a minor, which means all her contracts are signed by her guardian. As for who pockets the money she earns, that shouldn't be a big deal, right?]

[I was originally thinking of saying, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs," but if Taotao isn't their biological daughter, then everything would make sense...]

[!!! Terrifying when you think about it!]

[I suddenly felt that the whole thing was much more complicated than I had initially thought. It was like a huge trap...]

[But no matter which possibility it is, Taotao is the most pitiful one...]

[555555 My Taotao, she is still so young, what can she know...]

Netizens are not stupid. After seeing so many social news about intrigues, very few netizens will blindly judge that the parents are right and the children are wrong based solely on the parent-child relationship.

What's more, Tao Tao is really too young.

When such a young child and an adult parent are placed on opposite ends of the scale, netizens will subconsciously be biased. Not to mention there is so much evidence.

As public opinion fermented, Zuo Yangxia gradually released other materials in his hands, including a number of videos. Tao Tao's timid appearance in the video formed a sharp contrast with the expressionless parents next to her.

These videos further tilt the balance in the hearts of the audience.

Seeing that the balance of public opinion had completely tilted towards Taotao in the online discussions, Su Jin called her agent Zuo Yangxia and said, "It's time to close the net."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jin walked back to the shooting location.

Today is the last day of filming on the island.

As soon as they approached the filming location, Tao Tao, who saw Su Jin from afar, raised her hands high and smiled with two dimples: "Brother! Over here!"

Listening to Tao Tao's voice, Su Jin's frown relaxed, "Hey——"

As he walked towards Tao Tao, Su Jin suddenly remembered a conversation he had with his agent Zuo Yangxia before this public opinion war.

"Even if this is true, it will be difficult for Tao Tao to find her biological parents." Zuo Yangxia sighed, "After all, so many years have passed. If her biological parents cannot be found, she may have to be sent to an orphanage, or see if there is anyone willing to take her in."

"What do you think of me?" Su Jin asked the question without hesitation.

"Are you crazy?"

Zuo Yangxia's incredible voice seemed to still be in his ears.

Su Jin looked at Tao Tao's smile, with the bright sunshine above his head and the warm breeze of the island facing him. He couldn't help but slightly curl up the corners of his mouth and smile.

The moment Su Jin held Taotao in his arms, his brows softened instantly.

He might actually be crazy.

only……

Su Jin tightened his arms around Tao Tao slightly.

Now that he had seen it, he couldn't just sit back and watch.

At first, Qu Kun and Cui Xiulan didn’t know what was going on, but they suddenly felt that the eyes of people around them became strange.

Even when Cui Xiulan went to buy vegetables, the stall owner who was somewhat familiar with her looked at her for a long time and couldn't help asking her whether Tao Tao was their biological child.

On the way back, Cui Xiulan always felt as if someone was staring at her, which made her feel uneasy.

What they didn't know was that after the news went viral, the address of their rental house was quickly leaked. Many media outlets and paparazzi from the film and television studio were already squatting nearby.

It was not until they got home and went online that Cui Xiulan and Qu Kun finally found out what had happened.

"This damn money-losing thing!" Cui Xiulan cursed viciously.

"I shouldn't have been on this show! I told you not to go on it!" Qu Kun felt a little scared and took out his anger on Cui Xiulan.

Hearing this obvious remark of shifting the blame, Cui Xiulan immediately became unhappy: "What did you say then? Weren't you so happy counting the money then?"

"How could I have known that something like this would happen later!" Qu Kun felt uneasy and subconsciously shouted back in a louder voice, as if by doing so he could appear more reasonable.

Soon, the two began to quarrel and criticize each other.

Just as the two were arguing, there was a knock on the door of the rental house.

"Who is it?" Qu Kun walked over impatiently, opened the door, and suddenly had his ID shoved in his face.

Almost at the same time, a serious voice rang in his ears: "Someone called the police and said you are suspected of child trafficking. Come with me now."

When Qu Kun raised his eyes and saw the shining police uniform in front of him, his vision went dark and only three big words remained in his mind -

It's over!
