The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 499

Chapter 499: Netizen 198 has gone crazy, NO.14 (second update)_1

Lou Yang’s fans were wealthy.

They threw money at popular posts and searches, and soon the hot search “Lou Yang is truly miserable” climbed to second place.

Casual fans who clicked in saw the analysis by Strawberry Ice Cream. Her analysis made perfect sense, and the latter half of the show had indeed disappointed the fans, who now had an epiphany after seeing the analysis.

“Come Here Friend” had high popularity, and many people watched the live broadcast, all remembering the segment where Bai Lian and Ning Xiao discussed the topic.

But the shots of the questions that followed were cut by the show’s producers.

Deleting hot searches and footage was already a sign of guilt, and most people, who were still skeptical, immediately believed it upon seeing the actions of the production team.

“I knew it. Why did the production team delete only the posts of ‘Miss Bai’, ‘Chi Lu’, and the high school students? Now I get it.”

“Does the production team think the viewers are fools?”

“Sorry, sorry, I was also bashing Lou Yang last week.”

“Looking at it now, Lou Yang is truly a lotus untainted by mud—there are few artists like him in the entertainment industry.”

“…”

The fervor online was fermenting, and Yan Lu, Mei Yi, and the production team all faced varying degrees of slander.

Many people were asking underneath the official Weibo account of Lou Yang—

“Lou bro, is it really like that?”

Lou Yang’s agent’s phone rang. It was Sister Xin.

“Sister Xin,” Lou Yang’s agent walked to the window and answered the phone, “What does a busy person like you need from me?”

“Let’s not beat around the bush. The posts on Weibo are your team’s doing, right? What will it take for you to take them down?” Sister Xin was blunt. “You know better than I do why Lou Yang isn’t in the production team.”

Lou Yang’s agent pretended to be dumbfounded and hesitated, “Sister Xin, what are you talking about? What’s happened on Weibo?”

Sister Xin’s voice was tense as she pressed her brow, “What do you want? Money or resources? Those kids really are high school seniors and they’re about to take the college entrance exam. You’re going to affect their grades.”

Lou Yang’s agent smiled, unhurried, “Sister Xin, I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

With the high Weibo popularity at the moment, he had no wish to let Lou Yang easily give up this heat.

He ended the call.

“Are we not going to reply?” the assistant asked, holding the phone, looking to Lou Yang’s agent.

Lou Yang’s agent looked at the Weibo and flipped his phone down, “For now, leave it be. We won’t interfere, this wave doesn’t harm Lou Yang anyway.”

If you want to trap the wolf, you must be prepared to sacrifice the sheep.

At Wang Xin’s residence.

“They’re not budging?” The director sat down in the chair, anxiety bubbling up like blisters.

Bai Lian and Ning Xiao were being mocked, the Xingyi Martial Arts School was under suspicion, and so was Chi Yundai.

The production team was suspected of orchestrating publicity for Xiangcheng.

“That’s right,” Sister Xin put down her phone and reopened Strawberry Ice Cream’s Weibo, momentarily at a loss for a solution, “I’ll see what Yan Lu has to say.”

She made a call to Yan Lu.

Chi Yundai’s situation wasn’t a big deal, but Bai Lian’s wasn’t easy to resolve.

The show was too popular.

At eleven o’clock at night, Pu Xiaohan was preparing for bed when she saw a notification pop up.

She frowned, clicked on it, and read through the comments—

“Read some books, a normal high school senior deals with these kinds of problems [screenshot].”

“Can we not compare everyone to Zhao Lu, please?”

A message popped up in WeChat, from one of her classmates in Class 15. It seemed many had seen the Weibo post by Lou Yang’s fans.

Pu Xiaohan screenshotted the content and sent it to Chi Yundai—

“Chi Lu, aren’t you going to sue them?”

Chi Yundai was at home, reviewing files.

He held a pen in his right hand, drawing a symbol on the file.

Seeing Pu Xiaohan’s message, he was surprised.

He was indifferent to the public’s opinion of him, and even found it amusing when netizens praised his cooking skills.

Lawyer Chi: “Too bad I didn’t get to show off my cake.”

Pu Xiaohan: “…??”

Lawyer Chi: “.”

Chi Yundai coughed softly, guessing that the netizens were referring to the two students, including Bai Lian. After a moment’s thought, he made a phone call.

At the Xiangcheng Research Institute.

It was eleven o’clock, but tonight Jiang Fulai was not planning on going home.

He had just finished his work, passing along rows of tall machinery on his way out. Approaching a steel door, he swiped his fingerprint and the doors opened from both sides.
