Shen Mengyao tightly gripped another phone, her fingertips turning slightly white from the pressure. She dialed the familiar number, lowering her voice intentionally, yet it couldn't hide the coldness and determination within: "I need you, at any cost..." As she spoke, it felt as if countless undercurrents were surging.
A few days later, a flood of negative news about Lynn Xingchen suddenly appeared online. The marketing accounts seemed like puppets controlled by the same hand, each jumping out to piece together carefully woven lies and half-truths into a sharp blade that mercilessly stabbed at Lynn Xingchen.
"Shocking! First-line Queen of the Screen Lynn Xingchen actually rose to fame through this!"
"Insider reveals: Lynn Xingchen has poor character and once pressured a newcomer actor to steal a role!"
"Lynn Xingchen's rise to power, a palace intrigue in the entertainment industry!"
The clickbait writers tirelessly spun one captivating yet utterly false story after another, pushing Lynn Xingchen into the eye of the public storm. The halo of her past quickly turned into shackles, as fans' disappointment and netizens' anger surged like a tide, drowning her.
Lynn Xingchen sat in a dimly lit room, the blue light from her phone screen reflecting on her pale face. Her eyes held both exhaustion and defiance. "I know this isn't true," she murmured softly to herself, her voice light yet filled with undeniable conviction.
She tried to speak up to clarify for herself, but each attempt felt like a stone sinking into the sea, creating not even a ripple.
"Xingchen, stop looking at your phone," Sister Zhang said with concern as she watched the pale-faced Lynn Xingchen. "This is all fake; someone is deliberately slandering you!"
Lynn Xingchen put down her phone and rubbed her tired temples, a bitter smile creeping onto her lips. "I know, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon..." She recalled that day after the press conference when Lu Jingshen had warned her to be cautious of Shen Mengyao's retaliation. But she hadn't taken it seriously at the time, thinking Shen Mengyao's strength was insufficient to pose any real threat to her.
Now it seemed she had underestimated the other party's determination and means.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingshen stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, gazing into the distance with deep and cold eyes. "Xingchen, don't worry; I will find out who is behind this and won't let you suffer in vain!" His gaze was resolute, his tone icy, as if calm before an impending storm.
He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Help me find out who has been manipulating public opinion against Lynn Xingchen recently..." The person on the other end responded respectfully, and soon Lu Jingshen received the information he sought.
"It really is her!" A glint of cold light flashed in Lu Jingshen's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Since she wants to play, then let's play with her properly!"
A few days later, just when Shen Mengyao thought she was about to win, Starshine Entertainment suddenly released a statement.
In the statement, Starshine Entertainment not only clarified all the false rumors about Lynn Xingchen but also provided a wealth of evidence proving that these smear campaigns were orchestrated by Shen Mengyao herself, aimed at retaliating against Lynn Xingchen.
With the truth revealed, public opinion turned in an instant. Netizens began to criticize Shen Mengyao for her deep scheming and unscrupulous methods to achieve her goals. Some even dug up her past scandals, and in no time, Shen Mengyao became the target of widespread condemnation.
"How could this happen..." Shen Mengyao looked at the flood of insults and accusations on her phone, her face pale and her body swaying unsteadily. "This can't be happening! It's impossible!"
Desperate, she tried to call those marketing accounts but found herself blocked. It was then that Shen Mengyao realized she was completely finished...
