Arc 1: Part 66
"Ji Yu, I never expected you to be this kind of person. I used to support you so much, I believed in you, yet you... fooled us fans! I'm sorry, I am no longer a fan."
"Ha, ha, ha, I am loving this! So, Ji Yu was caught cheating! What else do you have to say?"
"Maybe this is a video from after Ji Yu and Xi Tong Su broke up! Anyway, they only kissed and who knows when this video was recorded?"
The stubborn fans were still trying to find all kinds of excuses. Meanwhile, Mao Zai Studio didn't wait long before releasing the next set of damning evidence.
"The man behind all of this: Ji Yu, you are truly deserving of the title of Best Actor! · Episode Three'. Oh, the time? Aiyo, you didn't ask about that, I almost forgot! Conveniently, we have another video here with a very cunning recorded time. Would you like to take a look?"
Too afraid to watch the video, Ji Yu was trembling. Undeterred, Ji Yu's father and mother rushed to the computer and hit the play button.
Ji Yu's father only watched the first few seconds. His face turned green with rage, veins burst out on his forehead. He angrily turned his head and kicked Ji Yu to the ground!
"You useless thing! You even let people record this kind of video, what good are you!"
"Father, father, don't beat him!"
"I will beat him to death!"
Ji Yu felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of icy cold water, chilling him to the bone.
He trembled as he was kicked to the ground, his head spinning and a ringing in his ears.
He despaired as if a drowning man whose only lifeline, a wooden plank, had been shattered by the strong waves. His eyes lost focus and he could only mutter with a grief-stricken face.
"It's over... it's really over..."
This time, it wasn't just silent footage as with the elevator surveillance video, but a full sound digital camera shooting, where even the voices could be clearly heard!
In the video, it seemed like they were backstage at a venue, a secluded and quiet space with no one else wandering around. The background noise of a host speaking and singing could faintly be heard.
Lan Shuer stood alone in a corner. After a while, a well-dressed Ji Yu arrived. The two of them spoke softly, getting closer and closer until they finally kissed intimately.
"...Xi Tong Su is watching the performance. And I've installed a tracker on her phone, we'll get a notification if she comes near."
"... You seemed to enjoy yourself last night so much, not as suspicious as you are now."
"... It’s all because you were too rough, it’s still hurting now."
"... Okay, okay, it's all my fault. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down…”
In the corner, the two were engrossed in their clandestine affair, oblivious to anything else. The scene was momentarily enchanting, but then the camera suddenly shifted, focusing on a glowing sign on the wall.
"Xinghua Fashion Night Banquet."
No fan was defending Ji Yu's innocence anymore!
Almost the instant the video was released, Ji Yu's hardcore fans vanished from the comment section, as if evaporated into thin air. Those who had been irritated by his fans began to vent their anger on Ji Yu and Lan Shuer.
"I am trembling with anger! Ji Yu and Lan Shuer are disgusting!"
"This was during the Xinghua banquet. Xi Tong Su trusted them so much, she had just helped clear their names in the interview! How could they be so shameless?"
"Crazy Lan Shuer! Shameless Ji Yu! Lan Shuer seducing her best friend's man, Ji Yu acting like a saint while acting shamefully. Their character is so bad it's explosive. Get out of the entertainment industry! Boycott them!"
"I really feel sorry for Xi Tong Su. Meeting two such lowly people as Ji Yu and Lan Shuer, I sincerely hope that Ji Yu and Lan Shuer will never bother Xi Tong Su again, okay? Let her live a peaceful life from now on, never to encounter such people again!”
Ji Yu and Lan Shuer became reviled on the internet. WeChat, Weibo, phone calls – all were swarmed with angry messages from people denouncing them.
Before they even had a chance to react, notices from their agency putting them on suspension arrived, delivered with an icy expression by their managers!
