From the moment the first photo was released, within an hour, the entertainment reporters had basically all released the same thing: the opening photo, the content was all made up.
The truth?
The truth was important, but traffic was even more important!
At times like this, traffic was what they were fighting for!
Whoever could grab the most traffic at the first possible moment would be the one grabbing the most money!
Was rumor-mongering in the entertainment circle considered rumor-mongering?
That was speculation!
Otherwise, when the truth came out, what would happen if there weren't any topics to stir up? Take advantage of this opportunity to earn a wave first.
These entertainment reporters weren't just making things up without logic. They even provided all sorts of analysis as if they were the truth.
Fang Zhao had indeed disappeared for a period of time because he had to attend his graduation concert and because of the Whale Island matter. The netizens' thoughts were also carried along as they read the entertainment reporters' analysis.
Thinking about how long Fang Zhao had been missing … these analyses all seemed reasonable.
There were photos and facts showing that Fang Zhao had stayed in Qi 'an City for two days before leaving in a hurry. Perhaps, as some entertainment reporter had guessed, he had gone to meet his lover?
Or perhaps it was the invisible incident that the entertainment reporter next door had mentioned? After all, even the police had been mobilized.
The entertainment reporters made up stories enthusiastically, and the onlookers were excited. Some media personnel who hadn't been able to make it to the first round of traffic saw the rising traffic of others and got envious, so they also joined in.
There were also those who stirred the waters. If they didn't step in, they would be letting down such a good opportunity! They absolutely couldn't allow Silver Wing to cover up this matter!
Of course, there were also some people who disdained doing this, such as Wang Tie. They didn't blindly fabricate things. As long as it was exposed, there was solid evidence.
Their business directions were different. Normally, they earned their own money and didn't undermine each other. They didn't say anything in private, but at least on the surface, they got along harmoniously.
Now, Wang Tie snorted disdainfully at those "truth monarchs" online.
"If a person like Fang Zhao really wanted to hide anything, would he let this bunch of trash find him?"
Although Wang Tie didn't dare openly involve himself in Fang Zhao's matters, he was also curious about this matter. He wasn't the kind of person who would just stand at the side and stare, so he put on a fake identity and joined in the fun.
"One look and it's obvious that Fang Zhao took the initiative to contact the police. Perhaps someone suffered at Fang Zhao's hands. I just don't know who was so unlucky."
In any case, he was not the unlucky one. Wang Tie was happy to watch others make a fool of themselves and wait for the truth to be revealed.
In Leizhou, Zaro was preparing to take a nap. He had been thrown by his dad to train the past few days. Whenever he had the time, he wanted to rest more. He was not in the mood for anything else. However, just as he closed his eyes, Woo Tianhao's call came.
"Have you seen the news on the Internet? Someone's public image is about to be ruined! "Woo Tianhao laughed wickedly.
Zaro yawned and said, "So be it. It's boring. Every day, there are scandals that destroy a person's image. It's so annoying."
"Fang Zhao is in trouble!" Woo Tianhao said excitedly.
Zaro's drowsiness immediately vanished. "Who?!"
Quite a few core members of the Renault family had attended the Whale Island Conference. Zaro's father was one of them. They knew about Fang Zhao. They also knew a little about Fang Zhao's meritorious service on Whale Island. Looking at Fang Zhao, then looking at his own son … he wanted to beat him up.
Thus, after the Whale Island Conference ended, Zaro was thrown into training by his father. During this period, what he heard the most was "look at Fang Zhao"!
Now, when he heard that Fang Zhao was involved, Zaro was excited!
He searched the Internet and found all sorts of things. Zaro was so excited that his spittle flew everywhere.
"This kind of thing is so secretive! One look and I can tell that he has a guilty conscience! Based on my 20 years of experience in the entertainment circle, there is an 80% to 90% chance that he is hiding a mistress! How awesome! Fang Zhao actually did something that even I don't dare to do! "
The Renault family elders had already told Zaro to be open about dating and making friends. There was no need to be secretive. There was no choice. The Renault family elders were also worried. It wasn't that they were too strict, but that Zaro's IQ was limited. The family was afraid that he would be killed if he wasn't careful.
Zaro wasn't satisfied talking to Woo Tianhao, so he contacted Chu Bo.
"F * ck, do you know that Fang Zhao is in trouble?"
Chu Bo, who had just finished a concert and had been criticized by his family for not being able to control himself, wasn't in a good mood. He didn't even go online and was squatting in the recording studio gloomily. The news that Zaro brought immediately roused his spirits.
"Really?!"
Chu Bo flipped over and browsed the news online. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "To think that he would have such a day!"
Chu Bo had complicated feelings when he mentioned Fang Zhao. He felt that Fang Zhao was a rather good person, but ever since he had been frightened by Fang Zhao during that performance, he had been traumatized for a long period of time. Now, the trauma had dispersed a little, but it hadn't completely disappeared.
Now that he saw that Fang Zhao had also gotten himself into such a matter, the trauma he had felt toward Fang Zhao had dispersed quite a bit.
Look, Fang Zhao was just an ordinary person. There was nothing to be afraid of.
With this thought, Chu Bo gave Fang Zhao a call to express his consolation and ask if he needed any help. If he could make Fang Zhao owe him a favor, Chu Bo felt that the psychological trauma Fang Zhao had given him would disappear.
This was what Chu Bo had always thought. Those who were better than him wouldn't come looking for him and wouldn't need his help. On the contrary, those who needed his help were definitely not as good as him. Since they were not as good as him, what was there to be afraid of?
Thus, Fang Zhao received consolation calls from Zaro, Woo Tianhao, Chu Bo, and the others. They couldn't conceal their delight at Fang Zhao's misfortune.
Fang Zhao: "…" Are these little kids itching for a beating?
Of course, besides Zaro and the others, Fang Zhao also received calls from many others. Even Mo Lang had specially called to ask about it. These people were genuinely concerned. Although it wasn't convenient to divulge the details because the police were still investigating, Fang Zhao also expressed that it wasn't a big deal. All the rumors online were just nonsense. All they had to do was wait for the truth.
While the internet was abuzz with speculation, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao arrived at Qi 'an City and went to Fang Zhao's home first.
There were two police officers standing guard there.
After confirming their identities, Zuo Yu and Yan Biao entered the house. Seeing the messy interior, Zuo Yu pursed his lips. "Boss, it's time to move."
Given Fang Zhao's current status, it really wasn't suitable for him to stay here. This place was indeed considered a luxurious home for ordinary people, but for a public figure and someone with sufficient exposure in the entertainment circle, it wasn't enough.
Yan Biao looked around and his gaze stopped at the water tank. "The 80 million is still here."
Following Fang Zhao's instructions, Yan Biao switched on his communications device and contacted Fang Zhao to initiate a video call.
"Boss, we are already here." Yan Biao showed Fang Zhao the situation at home. "It's not too bad."
On the other end, Fang Zhao casually glanced at the somewhat messy house and told Yan Biao, "Check if the water tank is unlocked."
Yan Biao approached and took a look. "It's unlocked. The lid of the water tank can be opened."
This time, Fang Zhao was silent for a slightly longer time.
"Boss?" Yan Biao asked doubtfully.
Zuo Yu also did a careful inspection. He heard that the two burglars had fainted nearby, but he didn't find any traces of a mechanism.
Fang Zhao sighed deeply and told Yan Biao, "Stick a note on the water tank. 'Do not approach poison.' Write it bigger and more eye-catching."
Zuo Yu and Yan Biao: "… Boss, you mean … those two … were stung?"
"Mmhm."
Zuo Yu and Yan Biao took a step back.
Fang Zhao scanned the area and saw that two pots of flowers in the living room had been chewed on. It was obvious that the "rabbit" in the water tank had come out.
After confirming his suspicions, Fang Zhao applied for leave and returned to Yanzhou after class the next day.
The two that had been sent to the hospital were finally out of danger, but they were still unconscious. The police now knew that the two had been poisoned by the sea slug, but there were still some questions they needed to ask Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao cooperated and showed his breeding permit and all sorts of documents. The documents were complete, and there were no problems with the breeding.
The police also checked the sea slug feed in Fang Zhao's house. Sea slugs were common pets, and without approval, they weren't allowed to be fed toxic feed. Although the police had already confirmed that the feed in Fang Zhao's house was completely non-toxic, this didn't prove that the feed the sea slug had been fed was also non-toxic.
After that, many professors who researched sea slugs compared the data and even specially obtained data from the sea slug's breeder from a long time ago. In the end, they came to a conclusion:
"What caused the two to be hospitalized was just the little bit of toxicity that it produced through photosynthesis. It was only released when it sensed danger, and it had absolutely nothing to do with the feed. If it had really been fed toxic feed, forget about being highly toxic, just a little bit of toxicity would have killed the two before the police arrived."
Police: "…" So, those two deserved it!
Looking at the pot and seasoning that had been flipped over in the kitchen, one could tell what the two were planning.
It could only be said that those two had asked for it by entering the house vertically and coming out horizontally!
They deserved to be stung!
And they were lucky that Fang Zhao hadn't fed them toxic feed!
However, there was still a doubt that hadn't been resolved. The areas on the two's bodies that had been stung were too large, and they didn't know how it had happened. Could it be that the two had hugged the sea slug and rolled around?
Those would have to wait for the two to wake up before questioning them. Right now, there were no problems on Fang Zhao's side.
The person sent by Silver Wing to resolve the matter with Fang Zhao also heaved a sigh of relief. No wonder Fang Zhao had dared to call the police. He really hadn't done anything illegal and hadn't used any underhanded methods. He had thought too highly of Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao was a rare clean slate.
However, the matter wasn't over yet. All sorts of rumors were flying around online, and they needed the help of the police to clarify things. Otherwise, people wouldn't believe Silver Wing's words, and they had to contact several authoritative media outlets. Those people's words carried weight. Silver Wing's team would handle the aftermath.
Thus, a day after the incident, one of Yanzhou's authoritative media outlets released a piece of news:
[Two wanted criminals sneaked into Fang Zhao's residence in the middle of the night to cook a sea slug worth 80 million. Instead, they were stung and sent to the hospital, nearly losing their lives …]
After waiting a day for the first authoritative media outlet to make a statement: "…"
People all over the world who saw this piece of news were shocked.
"Hahahahaha, what kind of idiotic news is this!"
"Those two are f * cking idiots!"
"That's right, they could even sneak into a luxurious residence. Their IQ shouldn't be … What's the rush? They nearly poisoned themselves to death over a sea slug!"
"Suspecting that Fang Zhao directed and acted on his own. How could there be such a stupid thief?"
"Fang Zhao again? Is it a publicity stunt? Or is he making it up to hide the truth? "
"What's there to make up? Just now, Yanzhou's Qi 'an City police have already confirmed the identities of those two. There's an official stamp. It's real news! Those two are on the police's A-grade wanted list! This time, Fang Zhao's sea slug has done a meritorious deed! "
"Really? Those two are really on the police's A-grade wanted list? If it's true, I have to say to those two — they f * cking deserved it! "
"As expected of my idol. Even the sea slug he keeps can catch thieves!"
A certain person from PET magazine, who had previously evaluated Fang Zhao's two pets, was agitated when he saw this. "I told you, that one is really super dangerous! Now do you guys believe me!! "
Back then, I had worn such thick gloves, and just trying to touch it, my arm had nearly been stung to the point of being crippled! It really wasn't my fault, but that "rabbit" was just that savage!
