Chapter 809: Chapter 809

At three in the afternoon, Peak Entertainment issued a PR statement.

First, they released complete videos from two hotels.

@PeakEntertainment: "The videos were retrieved under the supervision of the police, clear and complete."

There were several segments of the video, one showing Deng Lishan entering Xi Cheng’s room around seven in the evening, and leaving within two minutes. Another was Xi Cheng entering the room around nine at night; he too left within a few minutes, went to the lobby, returned to stay for a while, and then left.

Two other segments included one of Deng Lishan checking into a room, and another of Xi Cheng entering Deng Lishan’s room. They stayed for less than ten minutes before Xi Cheng left. The final two segments showed Xi Cheng alone in a room and Deng Lishan leaving in the middle of the night.

Next, Peak released a second video recorded by Deng Lishan.

"I am Deng Lishan, I never imagined things would blow up . Yes, I really admire the male lead from my dad’s film set, so, taking advantage of his birthday, I left a cake in his room. But after that, I left because I didn’t want to disturb him. Afterwards, I checked into another hotel, planning to leave early the next day, but he was worried about my safety. So after coming over to clarify things, he rested in the next room, and all night we had no interaction whatsoever. This is the whole truth of the matter, I didn’t know it would be deliberately twisted and used to slander me."

"I know you might wonder why I didn’t just go to my dad, but how do you tell your father a girl’s heart? How to tell him your daughter is sort of a twisted sasaeng fan? I was wrong in this matter; I didn’t control my own actions, causing harm and trouble to others, and I am very sorry. But I have always felt that this was just my personal matter, and no one else did anything wrong. The fact that he rejected and clarified things to my face already showed his character, and I hope you won’t direct your anger at others. That’s all."

Deng Lishan’s description matches the videos, so, this is the entire truth.

However, those who initially attacked Peak, Xi Cheng, and Shi Lan’s movie, are now all targeting Deng Lishan alone.

Because her behavior, the behavior of a sasaeng fan, is despised in the industry.

@go with the flow: "Just because she’s the director’s daughter, harassing the male lead, it’s truly disgusting. Better act like a decent person soon."

@BottleNursery: "Not to be rude, but Director Deng’s daughter, really isn’t picky, can even go for a mechanic?"

@Feifei Move Forward: "This director’s daughter, it’s not just her character that’s problematic, her taste is even more bizarre."

@Chosen One: "Director’s darling, have a look at me, if a mechanic is okay, I’m even better!"

Now, all the abuse from the outside world is directed at Deng Lishan.

But if they hadn’t done this, how could they explain both of them sending cakes and booking rooms?

By taking the blame onto herself, she could minimize the damage.

Deng Lishan wanted to use this self-destructive behavior to completely sever any connections with Xi Cheng, hoping never to see him again in her life.

Qiao Yihan could never have imagined that Deng Lishan would sacrifice herself to clear Xi Cheng and the entire film crew.

What was clearly a major scandal had now simply ended with a sasaeng fan harassing the male lead, causing no harm to the film crew. At worst, people ridiculed Deng Lishan’s taste, claiming Xi Cheng was both unattractive and unsophisticated.

So, was all his effort in vain?

Now the pressure truly fell on Xi Cheng.

He had never considered that Deng Lishan would use such a method to sever the ties that had formed between them.

After Deng Lishan’s clarification, Director Deng stopped bothering him and kept silent about the incident as if it had never happened.

Xi Cheng could guess that this was Deng Lishan’s intention, but now he was the one thrown into chaos.

During a break in filming, Xi Cheng saw the mockery and verbal abuse directed at Deng Lishan online, every word painfully glaring.

They called her a whore, a promiscuous woman, not just promiscuous but also blind, willing to take any man.

Somehow, Xi Cheng felt his eyes turn red, and he made a call to Shi Lan.

After communicating with Shi Lan, he found his dormant Weibo account, retrieved the password, logged in, and shared Peak’s Weibo post.

@Xi Cheng: "Although being protected by a young girl is heartwarming, I still think it’s necessary to come forward and clear things up. Shanshan’s best friend gave her heart to my sister before passing away, and even though my sister also sadly passed away, I have always remembered this kindness. That’s how the two of us got to know each other well. I’m sorry for wasting my years, and Shanshan just wanted to give her brother a birthday surprise that day. I knew she intended to pull me out, but I lacked the courage to climb out of my rut."

"I know Shanshan tried to take all the blame onto herself to minimize the harm done, but that night was just a personal matter between the two of us, nowhere near as bad as what people are imagining online. Please, don’t keep directing cyberbullying at one person, if you have a problem, come at me."

"Also, her taste is not a problem."

Once Xi Cheng posted this Weibo, the internet went into meltdown.

The mechanic that was both unsophisticated and unattractive?
