Chapter 866: Chapter 866
As soon as she entered the bathroom, Ye Xian couldn't wait to turn on her phone. She had switched it off for most of the day, and wasn't sure if the CEO had called. If he called more than three times and she didn't answer, she would definitely be in big trouble!
'Ding dong~' As the phone unlocked, a flood of missed calls crowded the screen, startling Ye Xian. She opened them to see 12 from Xiao Lu, 5 from Cary, 4 from Jiang Wen, Lin Yan, and some from other partners, but none from Bo Tingshen.
"Phew, thank goodness~"
She patted her chest, slightly relieved.
But she had clearly taken leave in advance, so why were there still so many people looking for her?
While she was puzzled, a bombshell entertainment news article popped up from a window, with a shocking headline in bold red letters — #Scandalous Video of Popular Actress Luo Yuwei Leaked#
Confirming that the news came from an entertainment authority rather than a third-rate marketing account, Ye Xian curiously clicked in, and saw that all top ten spots on the Weibo trending list were dominated by Luo Yuwei.
#Luo Yuwei Scandalous Video Leaked#
#Luo Yuwei Disgusting#
#Zou Gang Slept With Luo Yuwei#
#Luo Yuwei Should Get Out of the Entertainment Industry#
#Ranking Those Entertainment White Lotuses Who Seem Clean But Are Rotten to the Core#...
A slew of sharp and fierce words, a bloody storm, clearly pushing a star towards a dead end.
Ye Xian clicked in and saw the pinned 'scandalous' video with over ten million views.
The video was long, composed of many short video clips.
The first scene was Luo Yuwei and Zou Gang meeting for the first time in the "Conquest of the World" crew, with Zou Gang hugging her waist to take a group photo.
The second scene was Zou Gang fixing Luo Yuwei's hair, taking the opportunity to touch her chest, and she shyly smiling at him.
The remaining scenes showed Luo Yuwei routinely taking scripts to Zou Gang's rest room to discuss plots, often being groped intentionally or unintentionally by him, yet she seemed uncaring or silently agreeable, without a hint of resistance.
The second to last scene showed Zou Gang and Luo Yuwei laughing and getting into the same car, which drove to a five-star hotel, with no follow-up.
The final scene showed Zou Gang intimately holding Luo Yuwei and driving straight to a hotel, this time with follow-up, clearly capturing the process of Zou Gang undressing and kissing Luo Yuwei in the hotel room. Although the video was pixelated due to Weibo's censorship, it was still evident it was them.
The video concluded with words saying it was unsuitable for young viewers and thus not shown...
The 'implications' were self-evident.
This video looked smooth and real, naturally without any signs of editing, just clips put together, yet it actually used a masterful technique that even professionals couldn't spot any flaws.
People who didn't know the truth would absolutely think this was a video of Luo Yuwei and Zou Gang's acquaintance, romance, and outrageous affair, and the netizens indeed thought so, with the comment section already exploding.
[Ugh, I'm really disgusted! I'd pay a lot for a pair of eyes that haven't seen this video!]
[WTF? Did I see this wrong? Isn't this man the old pervert Zou Gang who's already in jail? Luo Yuwei had a thing with him? Ugh, I vomited my dinner from last night!]
[Now I know why Pervert Zou is so arrogant, turns out young and pretty actresses are willing to throw themselves at him!]
[Oh my God, my brother even treated her like a goddess, she looks so pure-minded on the outside, yet her private life is so messy, even hooking up with such a disgusting old pervert! Nothing can stop her!]
[I'm puking, while other lesser-known stars were bravely testifying against Zou Gang recently, this newfangled starlet was rolling in the sheets with him?]
[No wonder Luo Yuwei could parachute into a big production like "Conquest of the World" as a lead actress, turns out she had this old baby backing her up]
[What are you saying? Zou Gang is just trash, could he really secure such big resources? Who knows how many people this woman has slept with to get this pie, ugh, I can't even think about it without feeling sick]
[Such a pure goddess on the surface, rotten to the core in private]
[Xia Qingshao, a Luo fan, gouges out his eyes on the spot, so disgusting! Really so disgusting! Looks so pure and innocent, yet so filthy in private]
[This kind of actress who abets the wicked and uses her body to climb ranks should get out of the entertainment circle!]
[I don't ever want to see her again, ban her now...]
Ye Xian briefly scanned the comments section and the general public's opinions under the trending hashtags, all full of cursing, everyone being led by the nose, not a single comment of clarification or rebuttal.
Yet the truth wasn't entirely what the video showed, for instance, Luo Yuwei's reaction to Zou Gang groping her in the second scene was taken from elsewhere, and the last scene in the hotel was Zou Gang attempting to assault a drunken Luo Yuwei but failing, with her and Jiang Wanze rescuing her.
But why had this video so completely and skillfully leaked online, causing such a massive impact, and why had Star Entertainment not responded at all since the video was posted, it was unusual...
As she was filled with suspicions, Zhou Lu called again.
"Brother Ye, you finally answered! I've called you so many times today..."
"Wait, do you know what's happening with Luo Yuwei online today?"
"Of course I know! The entire entertainment industry knows now, don't tell me you're just finding out?"
"Uh... I just got my phone." Ye Xian, "What's going on? Why is this video so widely circulated, and why hasn't Star Entertainment come out to support her?"
Zhou Lu: "Star Entertainment certainly won't support her because the CEO ordered it to be released!"
Ye Xian's voice was raised in shock.
The CEO had someone release the dirt on Luo Yuwei, even fabricated stories, enough to ruin her career and reputation?
"How is that possible? You're joking, right?"
"Right, Brother Ye, you don't know anything yet, let me tell you."
Zhou Lu proceeded to tell her about how that day, after Bo Tingshen brought back Cheng Zidong and his group for questioning and the subsequent handling of the situation.
"You have no idea how charismatic the CEO was at that moment! That kick, even though it scared me half to death, his face clearly said: Dare to touch my man, you're asking for death!"
"You weren't there in person, if you were, you'd fall deeply and irretrievably in love with the CEO!"
"I had no idea you were so important in the CEO's heart, it feels like the CEO could..." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by noveⅼfire.net
While Zhou Lu was still rambling, she noticed Ye Xian had already hung up the phone.
The water in the bathroom was gushing, Ye Xian had her hands on the sink, as if she was stunned by something, trying hard to process the information she had just received.
It turned out that Cheng Zidong had kidnapped Xiao Lu and threatened her at the behest of Luo Yuwei.
For her sake, the CEO even severely injured Luo Yuwei, sending her to the hospital, charged her with kidnapping in court, and deliberately released the video to ruin her career, making her a heavy debtor in the contract. That was his mother's savior...
