Chapter 76: Never Let Go
Chapter 76: Never Let Go
Lin Qin’s first thought upon seeing Meng Chao’s Weibo post was that something must have happened, otherwise Meng Chao wouldn’t tag Huang Wankai so blatantly.
"Before doing things, learn to be a decent person"—this is the most tactful way of saying "you’re not human." Meng Chao must have been furious to insult him so directly.
Lin Qin immediately called Chu Hong to ask about what had happened on Weibo.
He knew Meng Chao well. If it were something involving Meng Chao himself, Meng Chao wouldn’t be this angry. The only explanation was that it had to do with Lin Qin, which triggered Meng Chao’s intense wrath.
And since Meng Chao posted on Weibo at this timing, there was a good chance he’d already had people delete related discussions online. Searching for it directly would be less efficient than asking Chu Hong.
Chu Hong quickly answered the call, but when Lin Qin asked, she hesitated, clearly intending to brush Chi Chi off with vague replies.
But Chi Chi wasn’t someone easily fooled. When he wanted to get to the bottom of something, he wouldn’t stop until the truth came out.
Lin Qin said, "I don’t believe there wouldn’t be a trace left online. If you don’t want to tell me, that’s fine, I’ll find out myself."
Chu Hong knew this as well. After hesitating for a moment, she sighed and said, "Alright, I’ll tell you."
"This morning, Huang Wankai’s team leaked behind-the-scenes photos from ’Silent War,’ revealing the director’s plans for filming the series. Afterward, they hired internet trolls to stir up drama about your relationship with Huang Wankai. They sent orders to fangirls and fan leaders, instructing them to send you nasty insults online. The words they used were truly unbearable—we didn’t want you to see them. In retaliation, the director officially announced ’Silent War’ and tagged all the actors in the cast, except for Huang Wankai, deliberately snubbing him. It triggered widespread ridicule across the internet. Unable to contain the fallout, Huang Wankai’s team made things worse by leaking rumors that he was dating your Brother Meng. That’s everything." Chu Hong summarized succinctly, every word backed by evidence. This whole mess was nothing but Huang Wankai’s self-serving publicity stunt.
