Chapter 128 - Another Furor On The Internet
All kinds of headlines exploded on the Internet. News that discredited Song Ning came out one after another.
At the same time, Ye Xin's management company released news that someone had invested in a TV series based on Yi Yao and that Ye Xin, who was known as Little Ning Xia, had been confirmed as the female lead.
For a time, Ye Xin grew even more famous than before. Although filming had not even started, Ye Xin's fans praised her as though she had already surpassed Ning Xia in portraying the titular character in 'Yi Yao'.
Needless to say, as Ye Xin's fame grew, the abuse that Song Ning, the woman who 'stole' Ye Xin's man, suffered on the Internet grew even worse.
When news of Ye Xin's fans being arrested for causing trouble in the hospital came out, Ye Xin's other fans grew even more dissatisfied with Song Ning. A large number of them gathered at the Public Security Bureau to petition for the release of their fellow fans and to demand Song Ning's arrest.
There were also people who dug up Song Ning's past on the Internet. They posted about her long absence during high school and cast aspersions by questioning her acceptance to the Department of Chinese Medicine with high scores. They wrote about how she was only accepted because her sugar daddy donated money to the university and that the results of her college entrance exam were fake.
There were also people who claimed to know Song Ning when she was young.
Those who claimed to know her when they were in kindergarten said that Song Ning was dishonest and would often instigate fights.
There were even exaggerated rumors about her being in multiple relationships since she was in elementary school, being pregnant while she was in middle school, and being a kept woman when she was in high school.
All kinds of rumors about Song Ning's achievements were only possible because she sold her body came out one after another.
There were rumors about her current chaotic private life; she was said to have affairs with many doctors and even had several abortions.
All in all, the rumors all had something to do with Song Ning being a promiscuous woman who would sell her body to achieve her goals.
At this moment, Mu Chen threw his iPad on the floor.
The commotion caused his secretary to come into his office. She exclaimed in surprise, "This…"
Mu Chen barked, "Tell Cheng Che to come here!"
"Understood!" the secretary quickly replied.
When Cheng Che entered Mu Chen's office, he called in a leisurely manner, "Brother Mu!"
Mu Chen could not help but feel angry when he saw Cheng Che. "It seems like you have a lot of free time?"
Cheng Che was stunned. "What happened? Who made you angry?"
Mu Chen glared at Cheng Chen. "Summon those from the public department for a meeting. There is so much rubbish on the Internet, and you didn't even do anything about it. If Song Ning sees them, she'd be upset. Not only that, but Grandma would be upset as well!"
Realization dawned on Cheng Che. "Brother, calm down!" He quickly picked up the iPad and placed it on the table before he continued to say, "Brother, don't worry. Grandma and sister-in-law can't see these things. I've already tampered with their phones. For my plan to work, I need this rubbish to stay on the Internet for another night. There will definitely be news tomorrow that will slap these people's faces. Brother, I need to discuss something with you. I need you to do sister-in-law's work…"
With his glib tongue, Cheng Che managed to calm the rampaging Mu Chen in just a few minutes.
Under normal circumstances, Mu Chen was always calm and had strong self-control. However, his Achilles heel was Song Ning. As long as it was related to her, he found it hard to maintain his composure.
For this reason, Cheng Che was the best person to deal with this matter.
Cheng Che could not help but think about how important his role was.
Mu Chen knew he had lost control earlier and felt apologetic. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Cheng Che sat down across from Mu Chen before he said, "There's a film festival that will be held in a university in a few days. Someone organized a small gathering for the tenth anniversary of Yi Yao at that time. Director Pan and the others will be there on that day. Only the female lead is missing…"
A vague idea appeared in Mu Chen's mind. He looked at Cheng Che, waiting for him to continue.
Cheng Che nodded and said, "Brother, you've guessed it. I want to invite sister-in-law for a reunion with the cast and production team for Yi Yao."
Mu Chen shook his head and said, "No, that won't do. It wasn't easy for Song Ning to withdraw from the public eye. She won't want to appear in public again as Ning Xia. Moreover, I'm afraid this will only make the situation even more chaotic."
Cheng Che sighed. "Brother, you've become muddle-headed because of love…"
Mu Chen remained silent.
Cheng Che continued to say, "Brother, calm down and analyze this.. Oh, wait, let's analyze the situation later; I have something to report! I've thoroughly investigated those who spread the rumors. Apart from those brainless fans, there are verified and official accounts as well… Do you know who they're working for or who bribed them?"
