Chapter 61

Ren Ruru's clarification pushed the entire incident to a climax, and discussions on the topic were rapidly increasing. Perhaps due to the large number of people online during the day, the number of onlookers was also skyrocketing.

After Ren Ruru posted her comment, she thought it would clear Yi Tiantian's name. However, the reaction from netizens did not go as she had anticipated.

Fireworks Ignited: Ren Ruru, please stop covering for bad people... I know you're kind-hearted, but Yi Tiantian's actions don't deserve your forgiveness! Please stop speaking up for her!

Oil Painting: Yes, I have friends in the industry who say Yi Tiantian is now using all sorts of means to intimidate young stars into not telling the truth. This person is really scary...

A group of high-level trolls emerged in the comments section, spreading their narratives wildly. They could turn good into bad and wrong into right.

Indeed, most netizens in the comments section were misled.

Louis: ? Oh my God, I didn't expect the comments to be like this! What's going on, Yi Tiantian? You wouldn't actually have risen to fame through these shady means, would you?!

Lost Fear: I always said it; Yi Tiantian has been so prominent since debuting, there must be something fishy! Ren Ruru, and everyone else, please stop defending her... She doesn't deserve it!

Thank You: We used to call Yi Tiantian the judge of the entertainment industry, but now it seems like those incidents were just a setup to build her image! As long as we fans believed it! Goodbye! I'm turning from a supporter to a hater!

Ren Ruru clearly did not expect her clarification to backfire, causing Yi Tiantian to face even more scrutiny and ridicule from fans.

Onlookers, seeing this trend, also formed a poor impression of Yi Tiantian. Her fan count on Weibo was dropping, and the comments section was filled with offensive remarks.

Later, Tang Hu and Cheng Zhi also stepped forward to clarify for Yi Tiantian, but their efforts were still ineffective.

Their support seemed to further solidify the notion that Yi Tiantian was intimidating other stars in the industry.

Seeing the online tide almost drowning Yi Tiantian, Brother Cheng urgently convened a meeting with the company's executives to discuss how to handle the situation.

"The comments under Ren Ruru's clarification tweet have been investigated."

A woman in formal attire with a high ponytail stood up and displayed the investigation results on the screen.

"The IP addresses of these comments were encrypted, but our investigation revealed that they originated from the same source as many previous troll comments—a place called Morilique overseas. Yi Tiantian, do you have any impressions of this place?"

Yi Tiantian thought carefully and then shook her head lightly.

"Morilique is a small island in Southeast Asia, known for its tough locals. It might be a hideout for a criminal organization..."

"I'm a law-abiding citizen! How could I be involved with any criminal organizations!"

Yi Tiantian's thoughts resonated with everyone present. Indeed, a criminal organization had nothing to do with her.

Only the man sitting at the head of the table slightly moved his fingers, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

The woman in formal attire adjusted her glasses and said sternly, "I believe these comments might have been bought by competitors from Morilique, so we still can't determine who is behind them."

Brother Cheng agreed with her reasoning and added, "We can investigate the person behind this later. For now, let's focus on handling the online public opinion."

At this moment, the man sitting at the front of the table finally turned around.

He had broad shoulders and a slender waist, exuding an aura of nobility. Sitting in his chair, he gave off an invisible sense of pressure.

"Do what we should do and confront the trolls directly."

With these words, he got up and left.

His words made everyone present understand, especially the woman in formal attire, who responded to his departing figure, "Understood, President Xie."

"Is this the demeanor of the company president? He's quite impressive."

This was Yi Tiantian's first encounter with the company president, and she couldn't help but evaluate him mentally.

Everyone else remained silent, not daring to express their opinions.

Their boss was indeed very serious!

He was the type of person no one dared to look at twice!

Although the president rarely visited this branch, each visit froze several lucky employees.

However, President Xie had just visited the company a few days ago and came again today upon hearing about Yi Tiantian's situation.

This made the employees speculate.

Hearing Yi Tiantian's evaluation, the boss paused imperceptibly before striding away.

After the meeting, Yi Tiantian's company confronted the trolls head-on, trying to steer public opinion back in their favor.

Though the process was challenging, they gradually saw improvement.

Three days later, with the police investigation results released, the truth was finally revealed.

The police report provided detailed information, almost reconstructing the entire incident.

It turned out that Yi Tiantian did attend the ghost wedding, but as the bride!

Moreover, it was he who exposed the truth. Without Yi Tiantian, the unscrupulous screenwriter couple might have harmed more villagers' daughters!

With the trolls' efforts and the release of the investigation results, public opinion finally swung back in Yi Tiantian's favor.

Although a few trolls persisted in the comments section, they were eventually overwhelmed by the evidence and were driven away by fans.

Ren Ruru, Cheng Zhi, and Tang Hu all shared the investigation results on the day they were released, thanking Yi Tiantian once again for her heroic actions.

Not only them, but the celebrities and directors who had worked with Yi Tiantian also shared the results, praising her actions.

Many artists stood up for Yi Tiantian, silencing all doubters.

Chirp Chirp Chirp: This is the first time I've seen so many celebrities in the circle stand up for someone at once. It looks like the announced results must be true! Those delusional people online should stop spreading rumors!

Wilted Flower: Who's trying to smear her? Especially those conspiracy theories—aren't they just hilarious? We live in a society governed by law and science. How could a newcomer like Yi Tiantian have the power to coerce anyone?

Rose: Hilarious! In their minds, Yi Tiantian has really made it big! Our Tiantian can not only coerce famous directors but also the great Fei Cheng! Laughing my head off!

Fei Cheng also retweeted the investigation results, but he was more worried about Yi Tiantian.

He had been filming abroad recently and couldn't do much about what was happening back home. But now that he was back, he wanted to meet Yi Tiantian in person to understand the situation.

As soon as he landed, Fei Cheng called Yi Tiantian.

"Tiantian?"

Fei Cheng heard the noise around Yi Tiantian and felt a bit uneasy.

"Fei Cheng? Is there something you need? I'm out having dinner with friends!"

At that moment, Yi Tiantian was at Cheng Zhi's place, having a gathering with three of her sisters. The other three were playing and laughing, making it quite noisy.

"In that case, go ahead and enjoy yourself. We can talk later."

Seeing that Yi Tiantian seemed fine, Fei Cheng didn't say much and quickly hung up.

Yi Tiantian didn't mind and continued chatting with the three girls in front of her.

"Was that Fei Cheng just now?"

Cheng Zhi had stopped playing and turned to look at Yi Tiantian, asking curiously.

"Yeah."

Yi Tiantian nodded without realizing anything was amiss.

"I heard he just got back from filming an action movie in Europe. He called you so soon? Wow, Tiantian, you must have something going on!"

Cheng Zhi shook her head and continued gossiping.

"No, no, we're just good friends."

Yi Tiantian waved her hands in denial.

"Fei Cheng and I are good friends, but Tang Hu and Ruru aren't!"

"If anyone has something going on, it's them two!"

Yi Tiantian glanced at the two beauties sitting together and took a sip of orange juice.

Hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, the two of them blushed instantly.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that Tang Hu liked girls, but they didn't know she and Ruru were secretly in love with each other!

"These two have been giving me enough sugar to last a lifetime!"

Yi Tiantian added.

Cheng Zhi stood there stunned after hearing Yi Tiantian's words.

She felt like her whole worldview had been flipped upside down, never having noticed anything before!

Her two best friends actually...

Liked each other?!

Cheng Zhi immediately stood up, her face red, pointing at the two girls who had just been rolling around together. "You! You two...!"

Of course, Cheng Zhi couldn't voice Yi Tiantian's inner thoughts and could only point at the two girls in amazement.

Ruru, seeing Cheng Zhi's shock, blushed even more, but then Tang Hu pulled her into her arms.

"I admit it—I've liked Ruru for a long time."

Tang Hu said boldly to Cheng Zhi and Yi Tiantian.

Ruru, still shy, kissed Tang Hu's cheek directly.

"I've liked you for a long time too."

"Ahhh!"

Cheng Zhi couldn't help screaming, jumping away from the two and landing next to Yi Tiantian.

"You two are so mean! Can't you care about us single dogs a little bit?!"

Yi Tiantian watched the three start playing again and opened her gossip system to indulge in the drama.

"After Ren Ruru broke ties with her conservative parents, she became much clearer and more determined to pursue her true self."

"In the future, she and Tang Hu starred in a blockbuster with dual female leads, becoming well-known for their acting skills. Their careers flourished, and they eventually got married!"

"So sweet!"

Yi Tiantian found the gossip so sweet that it deeply hurt Cheng Zhi, the single dog.

Of course, jokes aside, Cheng Zhi was genuinely happy for them.

Tang Hu and Ruru looked at each other happily, knowing that after all their hardships, this happy ending was well-deserved!

"After the screenwriter couple's deeds were exposed, they were both sent to pedal sewing machines!"

"The two of them did too many bad things in their lives, and after entering prison, they quickly became unable to take care of themselves, constantly soiling their pants, surrounded by flies every day!"

"These two evildoers ended up becoming nothing but defecating monsters!"

"What a heartwarming ending!"

Hearing about the miserable fate of the two individuals, everyone present showed a warm smile.

"However, those girls who were trafficked are still missing..."

Yi Tiantian tried to find some gossip about this matter in the system, but discovered that there was nothing at all.

She felt that these recent events were intricately connected.

The human trafficking case at Sunshine Beach Resort, the screenwriter couple's trafficking of young girls, the Blackwater Army from the Mori crime den, Liu Ran mentioning he had offended a big boss overseas at Brand University of the Arts, and the strange paparazzi appearing outside her window recently...

These incidents seemed to be weaving together a truth hidden beneath the iceberg.

Yi Tiantian tried to find some clues in the system, but to no avail.

At this moment, Tang Hu nudged Yi Tiantian, who was focused on finding gossip, and asked with a smile, "Tiantian, are you going to participate in the next episode of 'Special Forces Action!'?"

"I think I will," Yi Tiantian replied, coming back to her senses, "Are you going to participate?"

Tang Hu shook her head, but her smile remained unchanged: "I heard the next episode is going to be explosive!"

"How so?"

Yi Tiantian tilted her head and asked.

"Because the guests for the next episode include Fei Cheng, Gang Fengxing, and even the boss of WE Company, the untouchable god—Xie Yi!"

Yi Tiantian's pupils dilated.

"WE Company?! Isn't that my company's headquarters?!"

"How could the boss I saw just a few days ago suddenly appear on a variety show?!"

Yi Tiantian's shocked thoughts reached Tang Hu's ears, but clearly, Tang Hu was equally surprised.

"I heard Xie Yi himself requested to participate in this episode. We don't know what's really going on."

Tang Hu said, scratching her chin in confusion.

"Could it be that the ice-cold CEO is participating in a variety show to chase after love?!"

Ren Ruru's imagination ran wild as she whispered to everyone.

"Do you think everyone is like the two of you, always falling in love?!"

Cheng Zhi expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"Xie Yi's younger sister, Xie Niao, recently went abroad with her friends, but has been missing ever since, and despite using various resources, Xie Yi has found nothing."

[Later, he received reliable information within the circle that his sister was being held in a place called "Maiden Island," and among the guests for the next episode of 'Special Forces Action!', there is a frequent visitor to "Maiden Island"!]

"Maiden Island? Could Maiden Island be the source of all these incidents?!"
