Chapter 247: what did I...

His words sent another wave of excitement rippling through the audience.

The clicking of cameras became relentless. Reporters ignored the request for silence, throwing out rapid-fire questions, their voices overlapping in the chaos.

"Are you saying the accusations were false?"

"What exactly have you uncovered?"

"What does this mean for Chen Mumu’s future?"

But the representative remained composed, his expression giving nothing away. "Please hold your questions. There will be time for them later."

The room slowly settled. But while the reporters fell into a forced silence, the online frenzy exploded.

Why are they dragging this out? Just humiliate her already!

This is all scripted. Of course, they’ll protect her!

Did you see her smile? She’s not even sorry!

Lin Yuyan was publicly shamed, now it’s her turn. Let’s see her cry.

Seated beside Xu Jingli, Chen Mumu exhaled softly, her fingers brushing over the fabric of her dress. The cameras were relentless, capturing every minute change in her expression. She glanced at Xu Jingli and smiled—just a small, fleeting smile.

The reaction was instant.

[Live Chat Comments:]

Did you see that?? SHE SMILED!

Disgusting! She thinks this is a joke!

Look at Lin Yuyan’s expression, she looks devastated!

This woman has no shame. How can she still smile?

Chen Mumu paid the outrage no mind. She was more focused on Lin Yuyan, who was seated across from her. The woman had stiffened, her fingers clenched so tightly around her lap that her knuckles were white.

What new ridiculous lie would she spin now?

Chen Mumu could already see it in her eyes—the frantic search for an escape, the desperate attempt to salvage the situation. And that was fine. The higher she climbed with her deception, the harder she would fall.

The representative gestured toward the large screen at the front of the room. "Now, let us walk through the full timeline of events."

The screen flickered to life, displaying a chronological breakdown. The audience leaned forward, eager to dissect every second of what would come next.

"This began with a single comment during the FENG Gala live stream," the representative continued. "A comment that sparked a storm."

The infamous words appeared on the screen:

’I heard she is sleeping with someone’s husband. How could such a filthy person do such a thing?’

It was the first time the audience had seen the exact comment displayed so prominently. The room buzzed with hushed conversations.

The representative’s voice remained steady. "While this comment seemed insignificant at first, it became the foundation upon which these accusations were built."

Chen Mumu kept her face unreadable, but she felt Xu Jingli shift slightly beside her, his presence steady and unwavering.

The representative turned toward the audience. "Following this, Liang Guo publicly claimed that Chen Mumu secured a role in Director Zhang’s upcoming film through unscrupulous means."

The cameras zoomed in on Liang Guo. He stiffened, his lips pressing together.

More whispers. More flashes.

The screen changed again, now showing a collection of headlines that had flooded the internet in the aftermath. Accusations, speculations, and relentless bashing.

And then, Lin Yuyan’s teary interview played. Her voice trembled as she spoke of betrayal, of Chen Mumu supposedly ruining her family.

Lin Yuyan visibly paled as she watched herself on screen. The audience observed her reaction carefully. Was she feeling guilt? Or was she simply regretting getting caught?

Then, the representative made his next move.

"There is something peculiar we found in our investigation." His tone sharpened. "We could not trace the original commenter. Their account has since disappeared without a trace."

A murmur ran through the room.

[Live Chat Comments:]

Wait, what?

They’re lying! They just don’t want us to find out who exposed her!

They have probably paid the person to go and hide and are lying to us right now! YOU OWE US THE TRUTH!

These shameless people are trying to make us believe this lie?

Who cares about that? We just want to see her get ruined!

Convenient excuse. Who deletes an account after a single comment?

But the representative wasn’t done. "However, our findings led us to something even more revealing."

The room tensed, anticipating the blow.

Lin Yuyan swallowed hard, her breathing shallow. Liang Guo shifted uncomfortably.

Chen Mumu didn’t need to turn to see their expressions. She could feel their panic in the air.

She lowered her gaze slightly, a smirk tugging at her lips.

She already knew what was going to come next for the lying couple who had tried to destroy her life!

This had been pure chaos for a long time and it was now the right time to end it once and for all!

The representative remained composed as he gestured toward the screen once more. "Everybody, please take a look at this."

The screen flickered, and an image appeared—no, a collage. A series of pictures arranged in a way that made it impossible to ignore the connections between them.

Some were screenshots, others were candid photographs taken from different angles and locations. Together, they told a story.

The entire room fell into a stunned silence. Reporters leaned forward, their pens momentarily forgotten.

The live broadcast quality was impeccable, and those watching from home could see every detail with absolute clarity. The pictures were crystal clear, each frame exposing something previously hidden.

Online, the comment section was in chaos:

[Live Chat Comments:]

What am I looking at?

Wait... is that who I think it is?

No way. NO WAY.

Explain this RIGHT NOW.

Before anyone could fully process what they were seeing, the screen changed again. A video began to play.

There was no sound. Only moving images, captured moments frozen in time and then strung together in a silent revelation. The absence of sound only heightened the intensity, forcing everyone to focus on what was unfolding before their eyes.

The video ended.

The room remained eerily silent. No one moved, no one spoke. It was as if the entire hall had been collectively robbed of breath. Reporters exchanged glances, unsure of what they had just witnessed.

Finally, a voice broke the silence.

"...What did I just watch?"
