Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Suspecting the Ancestor of Hype
Xia Xin was baffled but followed the clues online, extensively searching here and there, until he finally figured out what was going on.
“Ancestor, I understand now,” he said. “Nana and Yun Xizi were going to a variety show recording today. Knowing they would be on the show, some fans bought tickets beforehand, wanting to watch the live recording. When they couldn’t find Nana, they asked around backstage and learned about the incident.”
As Xia Xin spoke, he also explained to Jiangli what ‘recording’ and ‘variety show’ meant.
Jiangli nodded in understanding, “So it was her fans who spread the word?”
“Yes, fans are worried about their idol, so they keep posting online. Some even went to Yun Xizi’s comment section and direct messages to ask whether this was true and how Nana is now.”
Xia Xin said, “The reason so many messages were tagging the Ancestor is because half an hour ago, Yun Xizi responded.”
“How did she respond?” Jiangli pressed.
Xia Xin handed his phone screen to Jiangli, “Yun Xizi said that yes, it did happen, and Nana did get injured, but thankfully they discovered it in time, and now Nana’s life is no longer in danger. The reason they could get there so quickly was thanks to the Ancestor’s warning.”
Jiangli raised an eyebrow, surprised that Yun Xizi would be so direct.
Xia Xin mentioned that comments from Jiangli in the comment sections had already blown up among Nana’s fans.
Many remembered Jiangli’s comments and even kept screenshots from that time.
Hearing Yun Xizi saying this, many people started tagging Jiangli, wanting Jiangli to come out and explain the situation; was it true or not?
Some others speculated maliciously, suggesting that Jiangli staged the whole thing and might even be the one who hired someone to hurt Nana.
They called this ‘hype.’
Upon hearing this, Jiangli asked curiously, “What is ‘hype’?”
Ancestor, are you perhaps missing the point?
Xia Xin reluctantly explained it.
Jiangli appeared to understand, “So they think I wanted to gain popularity and more followers online, which is why I harmed Nana?”
Jiangli chuckled lightly, “These people sure are bold in their thinking. As if for fame or followers, I would hire someone to commit murder?”
Xia Xin didn’t know what to make of their imagination.
It was indeed quite vivid.
He was about to console Jiangli when another wave of messages flooded his phone.
He followed the trail and discovered that just now, both Yun Xizi and the police had made announcements and notifications.
The police announcement confirmed that there had indeed been a premeditated attempt to kill Nana, and the perpetrator was Nana’s assistant, Xiaojie, due to disputes over career development.
Once this announcement was made, the whole platform erupted.
Nana and Yun Xizi were both beauty bloggers with a large number of fans.
Now that the police were involved, the news immediately became the top trending topic.
Fans couldn’t believe that this was actually true.
Fans familiar with Nana knew that she and Xiaojie had been partners for many years and couldn’t believe they would come to blows over such a small matter of interest, even to the point of contemplating murder.
Many avid fans wanted the police to provide more details.
But why would the police bother?
So they turned to Yun Xizi instead.
Yun Xizi first released a few photos of Nana’s hospital admission notice and the police case acceptance notice.
Then, she unexpectedly posted a video.
The video was simple, completely different from her usual style – no lavish or exaggerated backgrounds, just a single white wall. From the wall, one could vaguely make out that it was a hospital corridor.
