Chapter 206: You are destroying yourself. Chapter 206: You are destroying yourself. Vice President Qin was in utter chaos because he had never considered that a mere eighteenth-tier actor could be so difficult to deal with.
This little actor seemed to know all his Achilles’ heels and struck with precision.
Don’t even talk about giving him an hour, even ten hours wouldn’t be enough for him to know how to respond.
With the scandal blocking all paths forward, he found himself with no room to retreat.
During this one-hour interval, before Shi Lan’s team was ready to release a second round of explosive revelations, a banquet hall waiter also came forward with a testimony.
@Hai: “I am a waiter at the banquet hall, and I was serving at the door the entire time. Professional ethics remind me that I should not divulge the private matters of the guests, but, if this involves the innocence of a girl, I think I am willing to testify, @Li Feng—The allegations after the three points are true.”
This was the second person who had come forward to stand up for Shi Lan today, an obscure young waiter.
If Vice President Qin and Gu Chengyu’s team couldn’t produce any evidence or witnesses, this battle was about to take a complete turn.
Yilong Technology, unable to withstand the pressure, sent someone to contact Tianwang Entertainment seeking PR crisis management and pacification.
But Tianwang Entertainment, in return, demanded an exorbitant hush money.
Having no other choice, Yilong finally made a statement.
@Yilong Technology: “We have organized the relevant personnel to conduct a detailed investigation and will give the public an explanation as soon as possible.”
But, in Shi Lan’s eyes, this was nothing more than a stalling tactic. As a powerhouse in the entertainment circle, would she not know what these PR teams were up to?
An hour later, neither Yilong Technology nor Gu Chengyu’s team had provided any further response. It was exactly when Shi Lan was preparing to deliver the final blow to both, that Gu Chengyu who had been holding back in silence, finally spoke up online.
@Gu Chengyu: “An Lan never coerced me. On the contrary, it was I who used her to divert your attention from my fan club. Everything is my fault, sorry, it has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Everyone was shocked because no one expected Gu Chengyu to publicly admit his wrongdoing and apologize in the end.
When Mother Gu saw the Weibo post sent by her son, she yelled, “Are you crazy? Do you know what the consequences of this are?”
Gu Chengyu, holding his phone out of reach from Mother Gu, explained wearily, “Mom, I’m really tired.”
“You’ve gone mad, truly gone mad. This won’t do, I need to call the company.”
Gu Chengyu snatched the phone from her, then smiled helplessly, “At this moment, I finally understand the words An Lan said to me this morning. I can’t indulge you anymore. Mom, let’s end this.”
“No…” Mother Gu cried out, “You’re destroying yourself, do you know that? You’ve worked so hard to get to where you are. You can’t, you…”
“Stop using innocent people as stepping stones for me, I’m really tired.” After saying this, Gu Chengyu smashed his phone and then embraced the agitated Mother Gu.
The netizens felt their worldviews shatter with Gu Chengyu’s confession, especially his fans who truly felt the meaning of disappointment and heartbreak.
“Big Boss, I didn’t expect Gu Chengyu to actually out himself,” Sun Ling remarked while browsing Weibo and seeing the latest news, unable to help feeling astonished, “This is probably the last of his conscience.”
“This is not over yet, the fatal blow will ultimately fall on that old witch,” the young lady predicted.
