Chapter 429: Darkness Before Dawn
What do you mean from champion to bronze? You’ve always been a stubborn bronze, okay?
And a firefight, a hail of bullets, you’re playing a game?
Forget it, these aren’t important.
"So, you mean to tell me that this incident is real and not made up, right?"
"Yeah."
"Who can prove it?"
"Anyone who was part of the operation can prove it. Director Fang even took me there."
"Director Fang, Fang Lilin? You mean Fang Lilin instructed you to go undercover?"
"Yeah."
Xu Jiayang slapped his thigh excitedly, "Good!"
Eh, doesn’t it hurt?
Once more!
He slapped his thigh fiercely, "This is Allure’s chance to turn things around!"
He was so happy that even though he slapped his thigh so hard his hand went numb, his thigh didn’t hurt at all.
But he noticed that Xia Weibao and Xia Shi sitting opposite him had strange expressions on their faces.
Turning his head, he saw Leng Yan continuously rubbing his thigh, his face contorted in pain.
You son of a bitch Xu Jiayang!
What feud do we have for you to slap me twice!?
And on my fair and tender thigh, no less!
Xu Jiayang’s breath hitched, damn, he hit the wrong person!
"Why didn’t you say anything?"
If it hurts, you should cry out, then I wouldn’t have hit you twice, would I?
Leng Yan’s face was flushed red from holding it in, pointing at his mouth.
But he couldn’t utter a thing no matter how he tried.
Xia Shi’s face was full of sympathy, "He just drank four bottles of medicated oil, he has lost his voice."
Xu Jiayang, "..."
When it rains, it pours.
Forget it, this isn’t important either.
After all, it’s not deadly.
"Let’s start planning how to clarify this matter."
Xia Shi, "We don’t need to do anything, this involves the military, and they will surely not let the situation escalate.
And since Baby has made a notable contribution as an undercover agent, how could the military allow a meritorious person to take the fall for such a huge mistake.
We just have to wait, I believe the military will promptly handle this."
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
No sooner had she spoken than Director Fang’s call came through.
Xia Weibao, "Director Fang, what’s up?"
When he was in the army, to make gaming more convenient, Fang Lilin had taken his WeChat and cell phone number.
"Regarding the rumors online, I’d like to talk to you in person. Let’s have dinner together tonight."
Xia Weibao thought for a moment, "Okay."
This matter being addressed by the military carries more credibility than anyone else’s intervention!
As for the rumors that were intensifying on the internet, the Hongtu Public Relations Department remained silent.
They are all experts in hype; under the current circumstances, the bigger the incident gets, the more resounding the slap will be when things clear up!
It will be even more advantageous for Allure’s comeback!
And Hongtu’s lack of response, in the eyes of internet warriors, looked like guilt.
Too scared to make a statement.
The criticism became harsher.
The excitement among the critics grew.
After getting tired of cursing on Xia Weibao’s microblog, they moved on to berate the official Hongtu account.
After scolding on the official Hongtu account, they ran off to leave abusive comments on the official account of the Allure web series.
When they had almost had their fill there, they ran off to berate the other actors of Allure.
After all, behind the screen, nobody knows who they are; they could vent to their heart’s content.
The Weibo influencers who posted the initial posts were on fire.
Seeing this, other big and small influencers became envious and started to ride the wave of attention by sharing the posts.
Some internet celebrities, looking to catch a ride on this east wind, began to openly criticize Xia Weibao.
Accusing the entertainment industry of moral decline, suggesting that celebrities would do anything for fame.
It was bad enough to be involved with the casting couch or to be the other woman, but now they didn’t even spare the national military.
In just half a day, everyone who had voiced criticism of this matter had their moment in the limelight, reaping both fame and profit.
