"There are no buts. The Tangning I know, nothing is too difficult for her. Even though she has never taken acting lessons, she was able to start from scratch with a single word from me. You are the same now, you are simply not calm... "Mo Ting coaxed." I've read through Elder Wu's scripts. A person's writing style is always the same. So, our only hope now lies in the 540,000 words. "
After hearing Mo Ting's words, Tangning calmed down and nodded her head, "OK, I'll listen to you. I'm sure it won't go wrong."
"You must be tired. Go get some rest..."
Tangning looked at Mo Ting, trying to see if she had any room to act shamelessly. But, seeing Mo Ting's burning gaze, she had no choice but to nod her head, "OK, I'll rest. But, I want to be by your side. That way, I can feel at ease."
She couldn't rush into the book to find the answer, because she needed to sort out her emotions.
A moment later, Tangning lay in Mo Ting's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
It seemed, she was really tired...
Seeing this, Mo Ting flipped open the lid of his laptop and opened up the novel called 'The Tracker'. Word by word, he spent the entire night reading through it. Of course, he also gained a lot from it...
Early the next morning, Tangning woke up in Mo Ting's arms. Seeing him still engrossed in the book, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "You've been reading all night?"
"Don't worry about that for now. Come over and have a look at these."
Mo Ting pulled out the screenshots and showed them to Tangning, "Take a look and see what you've discovered."
Tangning leaned against the computer desk while being protected by Mo Ting's arms. She looked at the screen in detail and soon discovered something, "The writing style is different and the words used are different. It doesn't seem like it was written by the same person."
"These were found at two hundred thousand, two hundred eighty thousand, four hundred thousand, and four hundred and seventy thousand respectively."
"Are you saying, this book was written by a few people at the same time?" Tangning's voice was filled with uncertainty.
"In fact, it was done in a very short period of time," Mo Ting explained. "I've asked Lu Che to look into talent in this field. He found out that the fastest record for famous web novelists is 50,000 to 80,000 words in 3-4 days. If a few people share the workload of tens of thousands of words at the same time, a book can be completed in less than 10 days."
"But, the contract was in place a long time ago..." Tangning thought of the contract.
"The contract is real, but who can guarantee that the content at the beginning is the content in this book?"
With these words, Tangning was enlightened, "In other words, the other party deliberately misled us by telling us to look for a contract. In reality, they could have made an issue out of the content."
"I've already told Lu Che that webnovels are different from physical books; they can be edited at a later stage. Since we can't find any information about this book online, it can only mean one thing: it's either been edited or... he didn't have that many words to begin with and added them later."
After hearing Mo Ting's analysis, Tangning could only say she couldn't help but admire this man.
Of course, he also had to admire Song Xin for her viciousness.
"In that case, as long as we can find the authors and the records of the website being edited, won't we be able to prove Elder Wu's innocence?"
"Why do we need to do anything?" Mo Ting said as he lovingly stroked Tangning's cheek and placed his chin on her shoulder. "We need to release this evidence to the public. I've discovered that the author with the best writing skills is currently editing the content. This means they are still afraid of being discovered."
"Since someone is editing the content, then it proves that the person in charge of the website is aware."
"Actually, I'm willing to trust the judgment of the netizens," Tangning said after calming down. "The reason why they are so angry is because they support the original work and despise plagiarism. But, Elder Wu..."
"Everything will pass, OK?"
After hearing Mo Ting's words of comfort, Tangning nodded her head.
"I don't think I can think straight anymore."
"I don't blame you for being stupid," Mo Ting placed a gentle kiss on Tangning's forehead.
Of course, the netizens were still calling for Hai Rui to apologize and for the film to be taken off the shelves. Meanwhile, the scolding towards Elder Wu continued. Perhaps, because his family couldn't take it anymore, Elder Wu's wife angrily accepted an interview with the media. She revealed everything about Elder Wu's script, character designs, the places he had been to and the people he had visited.
"My Elder Hu has done everything he could for the sake of art and film. Who would have thought, in the end, he would be slandered like this."
"I don't know what the person behind this is trying to achieve. But, he can forget about getting anything from me."
"This is the cycle of the heavens. This vicious person will definitely receive retribution."
Because of the old woman's words, the people that Elder Wu had previously contacted also stepped out to speak.
"When Elder Hu created his character, he would definitely visit a lot of real life events to experience the emotions of the characters. This is not something that a plagiarist can do."
But... there were even more people that refuted him.
"Plagiarism is plagiarism. There's nothing more to say."
"Elder Hu didn't plagiarize, but where's the evidence?"
There was no evidence!
If there was evidence, would he have taken his own life?
At this time, the author of 'The Tracker' couldn't accept being slandered, so he stepped out arrogantly, "If he didn't plagiarize, I will chop off my own hands!"
On the surface, both parties appeared to be victims, but the evidence was on the side of 'The Tracker'...
At this unexpected moment, Hai Rui finally made a statement. They released a PR article titled: 'Please Remember Your Promise'.
The gist of the article was that Hai Rui would release evidence to prove Elder Wu's innocence at 7pm that night. If Hai Rui could prove that Elder Wu didn't plagiarize, then the author of 'The Tracker' would remember his promise.
He would chop off his own hands!
The author did not expect Hai Rui to find anything, so he replied straightforwardly, "I mean what I say!"
As a result, the incident suddenly escalated to a whole new level. After all, it involved a pair of hands!
"What other evidence can Hai Rui produce? I'm quite curious. How can he make a comeback like this? "
"Don't tell me they're just twisting words and trying to confuse the public?"
"Hai Rui has never done this before. They've always been straightforward. That's why I'm looking forward to it."
"How can he make a comeback like this? Isn't the evidence already conclusive? I refuse to listen to Hai Rui's whitewash! "
"If Hai Rui dares to whitewash a plagiarist, I will hate him for the rest of my life! Even if the celebrity I like belongs to Hai Rui, I will not accept it. "
