"Crazy. Fatty Zhuo is really crazy. He's going to go to jail."
"We can't let him continue. Otherwise, what are we going to do in the future? Someone go and shut his mouth! "
"We've already sent out the press release! If he flips the table, we'll be spitting sh * t out! "
"No! Hurry up and think of a way to shut Zhuo Wei up! "
The reporters below the stage could no longer sit still. Some of the more impatient ones had already stood up from their seats.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Just then, another person walked out from backstage.
Some knowledgeable reporters recognized this person. He was the true underground boss of Da Chuan Province, the chairman of the Da Chuan Energy Association, and one of the three tycoons of Da Chuan, Liu Chao!
The reporters who had just started a ruckus immediately quieted down. After all, no one dared to provoke this ambitious and ruthless person.
The suspicions in everyone's hearts finally dissipated a little. There had always been rumors that Liu Chao was the boss behind Ba Zhou. Now, it seemed that it was most likely true.
So this time, Liu Chao, this big shot behind the scenes, had also appeared at the press release. Did that mean that Liu Chao was actually on Chen Guang's side? He was here to clean up Chen Guang's mess?
Zhuo Wei had jumped so hard just now. Was it because the flood had rushed into the temple of the dragon king?
No wonder this guy wanted to explode on the spot. In the end, he had kicked the iron plate of his own backstage!
Poor Fatty Zhuo.
Liu Chao only came out briefly to say a few words. Before the cameras turned to him, he quickly retreated.
Zhuo Wei's story continued.
"After that, through inciting on the Internet, I sent another five Ba Zhou employees to mix in with the general public to cause trouble at Tianguang Brokerage's office. After that, these five employees were also seized and sent to the police station. They have been detained ever since. After that, I called Chen Guang again and asked him for a strategic partnership fee of twenty million. Yes, that's right. I was extorting money. The amount involved was huge. I, Zhuo Wei, am here to surrender myself to the police. Below is the recording of my conversation with Chen Guang. "
Everyone who had been paying attention to this matter was completely dumbfounded.
Too ruthless. Zhuo Wei's move was really too ruthless.
I've never seen a paparazzi put myself in jail while trying to clear someone's name. Today, I've learned something new.
The people who had been flaming Chen Guang online were also panicking. It wasn't that they were worried about Chen Guang's revenge. After all, there were hundreds of millions of netizens in the country, and at least tens of millions of them had flamed him before. How could he possibly retaliate against all of them? But if they didn't do anything now, it would be like telling others that they were fools who had been played by Zhuo Wei. They were idiots!
Who would be willing to admit that they were stupid?
Helping a paparazzi blackmail an upstanding celebrity?
Just thinking about it made her feel awkward. Her face was super red, okay?
A man lives with his face, and a tree lives with its bark. The number of posts that followed the trend and flaming posts that I deleted, that's how much face I earned back, okay?
"After being rejected by Chen Guang once again, I went berserk and sent all the employees of Octave Weekly in an attempt to follow up on all of Chen Guang's friends and family. Apart from that, I also sent several employees of Octave Weekly to follow up on Chen Guang 24/7, causing great trouble to his life and work. Here, I would like to express my sincere apologies to Mr. Chen once again."
"Last night, I tried to negotiate with Chen Guang again. I tried to use the video that I edited to blackmail him and ask him for 40 million in cash as a strategic cooperation fee. Below is the recording of the conversation. Please listen to it."
This recording was edited by Lu Xiaoliang. He cut out the content of their conversation that had anything to do with Lu Fei and Zhuo Jingsi. It sounded a little awkward, but the meaning remained the same. He was looking for Chen Guang to ask for money.
Be it the audience or the media, they were all shocked by this guy's appetite. F * ck, your appetite is really big!
He only invested 130 million in total, and you f * cking asked for 40 million. You must have been a bandit in your previous life!
"That's the whole story. It's just like what everyone saw and heard. Mr. Chen is an upright and upright person. It was me who was blinded by greed and pressured him again and again. I embarrassed the media. My slander on the internet and in the media also caused great trouble to Mr. Chen. The impact on society was extremely bad. Apart from that, I invested a total of 4.89 million to hire fake reviewers to confuse the public. The following companies accepted my employment … "
Enough, Zhuo Wei, that's really enough.
This time, you're trying to uproot everything. You didn't even let off the fake reviewers who took your money to help you!
"Yes, I fooled the entire country. I know that I'm guilty, but I didn't beg for forgiveness. My actions have already constituted a serious crime. Apart from that, I did many things in the past. The death of the singer Zhen Zhenru in a car accident 15 years ago was also caused by me chasing after a car and secretly taking pictures.
"Apart from that, eight years ago, it was me who reported on the kindergarten that the famous movie star Chen Xiaolong's son was studying at. It indirectly led to the kidnapping and murder of Chen Xiaolong's son. Six years ago, it was also me who secretly took pictures and discovered that the actor Zhang Chenai was gay. After blackmailing him failed, I publicized it on the internet, causing Zhang Chenai to be widely questioned by the public. In the end, Zhang Chenai couldn't bear the burden and chose to commit suicide by jumping off a building.
"Also …
"I was the one who took part in all of this, and I managed it all by myself. I will bear all the consequences of breaking the law. The other employees of Octave Weekly were forced to participate in this matter by me. I implore the judicial authorities to give them a lenient sentence on account of their involuntary actions. "
"As a media person, I went against my original intentions. I did anything for money. I ignored the law and did not speak of morality. I was blinded by money. I am a disgrace to all media people. I have caused a terrible impact on society. I have let everyone down. I have let everyone down!"
As Zhuo Wei spoke, he started to choke up. Perhaps when he slowly recalled the past, he realized that what he had done in the past was unforgivable.
Lu Xiaoliang's nose was a little sour. About an hour ago, this China's number one paparazzi, who created Eight Weekly, was still in high spirits. He thought that he was about to reach the peak of his life.
However, only a few hours had passed, and he had chosen to reveal everything he had done in the past in front of the entire nation.
How tragic, how desolate?
What he said did not seem to constitute a serious crime in the eyes of the law. But the result was one tragedy after another.
Who could be blamed for Zhuo Wei ending up like this?
Moreover, even if all the crimes he listed were true, he would only be sentenced to ten years at most. What about the people who indirectly died because of him?
Who would sympathize with these people?
He did not kill them, but they still died because of him.
"Xiao Lu, don't learn from me. You are not even thirty yet. You still have a lot of time. You must be a person who can live up to your conscience."
Zhuo Wei threw the documents in front of him away and burst into tears.
"Boss!"
Lu Xiaoliang's heart was sour. He thought that he was only treating Zhuo Wei as a joke. But now that he saw Zhuo Wei shouldering everything, he was filled with mixed feelings.
Zhuo Wei and Lu Xiaoliang were not the only ones in an awkward situation.
The reporters, who were hurriedly asking their departments to withdraw their articles, recalled how they had followed the trend online. They were afraid that Chen Guang would settle the score with them.
Without a reason, Zhuo Wei wouldn't have been as remorseful as he pretended to be. The so-called justice could only be defended by force.
Zhuo Wei's decisiveness could only mean that the power behind Chen Guang was so strong that he could not even think of resisting. Even Zhuo Wei's backer, Liu Chao, chose to sacrifice himself to protect the king.
No one wanted to repeat the same mistake. All the previous scandals had to be withdrawn. None of the prepared articles could be used. They had to seize this last opportunity to choose a side and help Chen Guang clear his name!
Those who followed the trend and watched the incident with the mentality of watching a joke felt that they had lost a lot of face.
They thought they were moral guardians, but in the end, they were just monkeys who were played around. Thinking about it made them feel embarrassed.
Of course, the most embarrassed were the economists and celebrities who followed the trend and slandered Chen Guang.
The press conference was not over yet, but these people's Weibo posts were already scolding them one after another.
"I thought you were a learned person. In the end, you also followed the trend without any real evidence! You are in cahoots with that big corrupt official, Xu Lizheng, right? You are taking revenge for Xu Lizheng, right? "
"Sanctimonious and hypocritical! You and Xu Lizheng are classmates! You must be a greedy old man! "
"How can you be a university principal like this! Do you dare to announce your assets? "
These words made these so-called old scholars' faces turn black. However, these netizens were right this time. When they stepped on Chen Guang's head, they indeed wanted to take revenge for Xu Lizheng and vent their anger.
How could they have imagined that Chen Guang could still overturn the case after the incident had reached this stage!
As for celebrities like Zhang Tianming and Li Longwei, their Weibo posts were even more lively.
"I knew you were a dishonest and hypocritical person. Indeed, it's like this."
"Best actor? You're simply a scum!"
"You, Li Longwei, want to woo Goddess Shiyue? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? First, explain to the girl you dumped. She sold herself in order to help you enter the entertainment industry. Now that you're famous, you dumped her. How can you face her? "
"That's right. You still have the face to slander Chen Guang for cheating? What's wrong with your heart? How can you be so thick-skinned? "
The ones who suffered the most were Zhang Tianming and Li Longwei. The other celebrities who followed the trend didn't receive as much attention. They all quickly deleted their Weibo posts to distance themselves from them.
As for the economist and Zhang Tianming, deleting their posts didn't work. They simply closed their Weibo comments. Out of sight, out of mind.
However, this was actually useless. Since they couldn't flame you on Weibo, they could go to other people's Weibo to flame you. The effect was the same.
The ones who rushed to the front were, of course, the die-hard fans who had always chosen to believe in Chen Guang. Following closely behind were the trolls who realized they had been fooled.
When they were slandering Chen Guang, they happily slandered Chen Guang. Now that Chen Guang had been whitewashed, they also rushed to slander others. Anyway, as long as there was someone to slander, it didn't matter even if the sky fell.
As for Chen Guang's own Weibo, there were all sorts of comments like "I owe you an apology" and "I'm sorry".
Although this was useless, Chen Guang actually didn't care about the trolls under his Weibo. He also didn't care about these people's superficial apologies. He was just annoyed that the private messages from the trolls were blocking his intimate communication with his female fans.
When Zhuo Wei was almost done with his performance, Chen Guang walked out from the backstage.
Zhuo Wei didn't think much when he saw him. He immediately bent down and began to kowtow fiercely, again and again.
There was already a wound on his head from the collision earlier, and this time, the wound opened up again after just a few hits.
"Alright, stop kowtowing. Otherwise, if you kowtow to death here, others will think that I forced you."
Chen Guang grabbed the back of Zhuo Wei's collar and pulled him up.
Zhuo Wei wiped away his tears and the blood on his forehead. He picked up the microphone on the podium and said, "Everyone, I'm going to turn myself in now. I'll clarify once again that Chen Guang didn't have any scandalous videos. His counselor is actually my niece. Everything was fabricated by me! Actually, he has nothing to do with my niece, Zhuo Jingsi … "
However, Chen Guang interrupted Zhuo Wei's words, "Shut up! Get down! "
Zhuo Wei's face stiffened. He didn't know what Huo Jinyao was going to do, but he knew what was good for him. He immediately shrunk his neck and left dejectedly. Xia Yingjie, who had just arrived under Wu Shan's orders, waved his hand and two police officers followed him up.
Under the gaze of the live broadcast camera and hundreds of eyes in the venue, Zhuo Wei's hands were shackled and taken away.
"Sis, I told you that investing in him was the right thing to do, right? Didn't he settle the matter just like that? " Tang Xiaokai, who was waiting in front of the computer, beamed at the scene. "My money didn't go down the drain, did it?"
Tang Ying didn't care about Tang Xiaokai's words. She pinched her fingers and counted the time. Three days. Just three days!
This guy, don't be so precise with your timing!
This is so f * cking embarrassing.
"Shut up. Help me book a plane ticket. I want to come to America!"
"Huh?"
"Forget it, I was just joking. I still have a lot of things to do at the hospital. I can't leave."
"Sis, why do I feel like you don't look very happy? You look a little melancholic."
"Shut up. Bye!"
Tang Ying hung up the phone abruptly. Her face was as red as blood.
At this time, Sun Xiaoxun, who was also in America, turned off the live broadcast and went to sleep.
Zhuo Jingsi, on the other hand, felt a little complicated. She stared straight at the video. It was the scene of Zhuo Wei being handcuffed. However, in her mind, she kept thinking about what Zhuo Wei had said before. "Actually, there's nothing between him and my niece, Zhuo Jingsi."
Although she didn't want to admit it, although she had already accepted her fate, when Chen Guang really wanted to clarify their relationship in front of everyone, Zhuo Jingsi couldn't hide her true thoughts from the depths of her heart. A slight sourness and a slight stab of pain. It wasn't intense, but it was endless.
Perhaps, when she accepted the car he gave her, and when she accepted his money before she came to America, this fate was destined.
She silently touched her face. It was cold. It turned out that tears had unknowingly flowed out again.
Forget it. I shouldn't have asked for more. He's so outstanding, and he treats me well enough.
It's fine as it is now. As long as I don't cause him any trouble, it's fine as long as he's happy.
And then again, I don't seem to be able to satisfy him in that aspect, right?
Didn't he say that he wanted me to train my body because I'm a pitiful three-second girl?
It really was only three seconds!
Thinking of that, Zhuo Jingsi grinned again. It seemed like she was mocking herself, but it was also a little heartwarming.
Whether it's in terms of status or body, I don't have the right to have him all to myself, right?
She stood up and was about to turn off the live broadcast. However, Chen Guang seemed to have something else to say. In the camera, he stood in front of the rostrum again and gently picked up the microphone.
His expression was very determined.
