Qin Feng massaged his forehead and resignedly asked, “Then what should I do now? Should I make a post and say the recording was a fake?”
“Of course! Anything will help at this point. Besides, Su Shengjing is all alone. He won’t be able to dispute us without a company backing him.”
“I’ve got it.”
After ending the call, Qin Feng opened Weibo. He saw posts from many fans and spectators, fans of Su Shengjing and his daughter, and even An Yuan’s fans flooding his notifications.
“Big Brother, tell me this isn’t true! You didn’t really say those words right? Is Su Shengjing framing you?”
“Big Brother, I trust you! I know there’s no way you would do this!”
“You were joking with Little Jiu, right? You must’ve been joking!”
“Are you here? Do you know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot?”
“Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! This guy is lying so much about being wronged that he’s started to believe it himself!”
“Qin Feng’s fans are so stupid. They tried so hard to help him cover up his wrongdoings; too bad you can’t cover up this recording!”
“Qin Feng has no shame. Trying to hurt my daughter like that! I’ll hate you forever!”
“Poor Su Shengjing. He was scolded so severely despite obviously being the victim here.”
“Big Brother, please explain this! It can’t be true. I won’t believe it!”
“All those arrogant Qin Feng fans, where are you now? Come on! Show yourselves!”
“Hahaha! Those fans must be terrified! They doxxed Su Shengjing and involved my great beauty. They were so despicable!”
Seeing the frenzied influx of comments, Qin Feng was overwhelmed with panic. He had not expected the situation to escalate so far beyond his control.
He had thought that he would be able to just tarnish Su Shengjing’s name, but who would have thought…
He hurried to make a Weibo post. “We must investigate these disgraceful rumors at once!”
The netizens were confused.
“Rumors?”
Seriously?!
Qin Feng’s fans were incredibly relieved. Big Brother, you’ve finally come forward to deny the rumors!
When the recording had been released, the fans had been terrified that it was real. Turns out, it was a fake. Could that piece of trash Su Shengjing go any lower?
In contrast to them, Su Shengjing’s and Su Jiu’s fans felt that this was just Qin Feng’s last-ditch attempt to save himself. After all, who would ever admit to saying those things?
Of course, he would say he’s being framed.
As expected, Qin Feng’s team issued a statement. They asked the fans to not believe the recording as it was an edit made with malicious intent.
They then went on to talk about how hard-working Qin Feng was, how conscientious of his words and actions he had been since his debut, and how he had never displayed such atrocious behavior. Finally, they mentioned that Qin Feng intended to take Su Shengjing and the owner of the big account to court.
They spoke as though Qin Feng was a paragon.
The internet was in an uproar again. It was even livelier than Chinese New Year.
Soon after, Su Shengjing also posted on Weibo. He reposted Qin Feng’s latest post along with the text: “This branded plastic bag, how many lies can it hold?
“I’ve said it before. My daughter is off-limits. You want to mess with me? Fine, but leave her alone! If you want to play like this, then have it your way. I’ll fight you to the end!”
As soon as the fans saw it, they went hysterical.
“Ah! Is Su Shengjing great or what?”
“‘Don’t touch my daughter!’ Wow! I want him as my father too!”
