Jiang Ning had wondered before that once the news of Chen Jia getting arrested was exposed, it would definitely cause a huge uproar online, but she didn’t expect it to blow up to the extent that Mengbo QQ’s servers would crash late at night.
Looking at the trending topics list and seeing #ChenJiaArrestedMengboQQCrashes, a trace of surprise appeared on Jiang Ning’s face.
She wasn’t the only one feeling surprised; many netizens only learned about Chen Jia’s arrest this morning, and one of the top comments read:
[The entertainment industry truly elevates the status of idols too much, in reality, it is the fans’ adoration that gilds them in a protective layer. Strip that away, and he is nothing.]
Chen Jia’s scandal was sensational; the official Weibo of the Q City Police and their hotline were inundated overnight, and some even went to Q City’s police station early in the morning to demand the release of their "innocent brother".
Perhaps tired of the constant disturbances, Q City Police simply released the full details of Chen Jia’s PC case.
Here, to protect Jiang Ning’s personal safety and privacy, Q City Police intentionally obscured Jiang Ning’s information. They stated that, thanks to a kind-hearted member of the public who provided crucial evidence, they were able to follow the trail and uncover all the actions of Chen Jia’s team.
Putting aside PC and consensual relationships between adults, Chen Jia’s offenses involving exploiting his fans were the most severe.
Blinded by obsession and affection for Chen Jia and defenseless against him and his team, they lost their innocence and were subsequently coerced into maintaining these relationships.
For the rest of his life, Chen Jia could very well rot in prison.
Of course, the accomplices on his team would also receive their respective punishments.
As follow-up measures, apart from compensating the victims financially, Chen Jia also had to pay a fine and was sentenced to fifty years of imprisonment, never to see the outside of a prison until his death.
His agent and assistants were also subjected to paying fines and received sentences ranging from three to ten years.
However, for them, these were concerns for later; everyone was still shocked by the deeds of Chen Jia.
Under the announcement of official media, fans’ eyes became sharper—saying they had the eyes of fire or the "golden gaze" was not an exaggeration.
Even though the police media did not reveal the list of girls who had improper relations with Chen Jia, a netizen managed to unearth the YP relationship between Chen Jia and Hao Manman from a photo of the police going to the hospital to take a statement from her!
Even Jiang Ning was taken aback when she saw the topic.
She had provided the list of victims to Zhang Lang, and had seen the names on it herself before, including Hao Manman.
Seeing that the police had not disclosed the list of names associated with Chen Jia in inappropriate relationships, Jiang Ning thought that this matter might always remain buried in the swamps forever, only to discover that netizens had managed to dig it out!
However, Jiang Ning quickly realized that Hao Manman was hospitalized yesterday, and the police had only received the list yesterday.
It was likely that when the police tried to contact the people on the list yesterday, Hao Manman was undergoing emergency treatment in the hospital and didn’t receive the call. So today, the police decided to go directly to the hospital to find her, not expecting that a passerby would recognize them and upload the picture online.
It had to be said, this development was simply fantastic!
Jiang Ning silently exercised her financial power, opened Douyin+, and directly recharged ten thousand under this video.
The truth should be seen by more people.
Hao Manman, who had just stepped off the trending searches, was once again thrust into the limelight.
Exhausted, Hao Manman had just managed to deal with the police, only to see her assistant holding up a phone with a panicked look, telling her that she was trending again.
Hao Manman’s expression began to twist menacingly.
Hadn’t Director Wang’s team helped her remove the trending topic?
The reason Hao Manman had been in the industry for so many years without any scandals was partly because she had people like Wang Qingli, Liu Zuolin, and Huang Xianfu backing her, ensuring she had no shortage of resources in the entertainment circle and didn’t need to accept the "hidden rules" of these men for the sake of resources.
On the other hand, Hao Manman herself was cautious enough, seldom leaving any leverage against her. Even if she was occasionally photographed, Hao Manman’s company would spend a lot of money to buy off the scoop from the paparazzi.
Her one-night stand with Chen Jia was a complete accident.
Hao Manman was already in her thirties, while Chen Jia was only twenty-five or twenty-six, not only youthful and vibrant but with superior physical attributes and a top influencer in the industry.
