Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle
Chapter 442 - 441: Indulge Her Once More

Chapter 442: Chapter 441: Indulge Her Once More

Luo Ning’s Weibo post quickly surpassed ten million views.

After watching the video, people who had been cheerfully cursing suddenly felt like they had been force-fed a lump.

"Okay, I’ve been grossed out by the white lotus."

"With acting skills like that, no wonder Zhen Da wants to mix in the entertainment circle."

"So, from beginning to end, it was all a white lotus’s solo performance."

"She’s so disgusting to let someone hit her, if it were me, I’d have obliged too!"

"All I want to say is, good beating!"

"Indeed my Brother Ning’s style, I knew Brother Ning wouldn’t let us Ning Fans down."

"Right, if she has the gall to come begging for it, how could our Brother Ning not grant her a face-slapping? It’s not like our Brother Ning is bullying newcomers."

"I think actually she could have been slapped a few more times, or even kicked. Brother Ning is just too kind."

"Zhen Bailian is really something with her self-produced and self-directed act, might as well let Director Mo have her direct that movie."

"Is it just me who’s focused on the wrong thing? I’m a bit curious about the relationship between Zhen Bailian and Ji Dingliu."

"Then I’m off track too. From the sounds of it, does Zhen Bailian mean she and Top Star Ji have confirmed their relationship?"

And then the comments below all went off track, discussing the relationship between Zhen Bailian and Ji Xinghang.

Although Ji Xinghang’s fans exploded this time, they managed to control themselves and did not rush to curse immediately, considering their previous lesson was profound.

They went to Ji Xinghang’s Weibo to ask questions, seeking an answer.

Soon, Ji Xinghang also posted on Weibo.

@Ji Xinghang V: Some white lotus must be delusional. (PS: If I’m giving a bracelet, would it be so cheap? I’m not short of money, thanks!)

With this Weibo post, Star Fans cheered; they knew Xingzai would never fall for that kind of disgusting white lotus.

Then someone dug up the bracelet Zhen Da wore on her wrist—it was a total street stall item, fifteen yuan’s worth.

Ji Xinghang came from a rich family, reaching the pinnacle of fame as soon as he debuted, and always had the best things for eating, wearing, and using.

There had been rumors before that the watches he bought for his assistants were worth hundreds of thousands each, and he had given gifts to fans several times, each gift no less than ten thousand yuan.

He was famous in the circle for his outrageous spending; if he really had a fling with Zhen Da, there was no way he would give a fifteen-yuan street stall bracelet.

Top Star Ji would never do such a thing, and he quickly posted on Weibo to clarify, confirming he thought Zhen Bailian was delusional, which also meant they had no relationship.

Ji Xinghang was famous in the entertainment industry for his capriciousness; if there had been something between them, he would not have posted on Weibo to deny and clarify it.

So, there was only one possibility: Zhen Da deliberately bought a cheap street stall item to provoke Luo Ning, or she fantasized about having a thing with Top Star Ji.

Or she just made up rumors to provoke Luo Ning; either way, her intentions were bad.

Zhen Da herself did not expect that her actions would be recorded and lead to her downfall.

Star Fans swarmed Zhen Da’s Weibo, starting various insults and sarcasms.

Now it was Zhen Da’s turn to be shouted out of the production crew, to not defile the supporting female role in that movie.

Ning Fans then called for Zhen Da to come out and apologize; she had asked for Luo Ning to hit her, and now she played the victim, she had to apologize.

Originally thinking she held the winning hand, Zhen Da felt that even if she couldn’t crush Luo Ning this time, she had splashed him with a big basin of dirt.

With support from her backers, Luo Ning would be blacklisted from the entertainment circle.

But before she could finish feeling pleased, the situation turned around, with Luo Ning taking to Weibo to confront her head-on.

Key point, he had completely not expected Luo Ning to release the video.

She was full of question marks, how had Luo Ning recorded the video? She had triple-checked that the surveillance was broken.

What infuriated her even more was Ji Xinghang—who had the audacity to post on social media calling her a "white lotus," suffering from a delusional disorder.

That bracelet had clearly been a present from Ji Xinghang just yesterday.

Given Ji Xinghang’s usual grand and generous behavior, she had thought the pendant on the necklace consisted entirely of diamonds.

Although there was no brand, she had assumed it was a bracelet specially customized for her by Ji Xinghang and that its value was undoubtedly high.

She had never expected that bastard to gift her some street stall trinket.

It was true that Zhen Da had fallen for Ji Xinghang, which made her feel increasingly aggrieved and enraged the more she thought about it.

When she saw her own social media account was close to being paralyzed by the onslaught of abuse from Star Fans, haters, and onlookers, she became even more furiously incensed.

"Ji Xinghang, you’ve pushed me to this," her face twisted in anger.

She then pulled up a video from her phone and instructed her paid trolls to release it.

It was the video of the other night, where Ji Xinghang is seen dragging Zhen Da into a hotel.

She also released a second video, one where she was in relation with a man.

The faces could only be seen, showing enough to understand what they were doing, but not her body.

The video showed her clearly reluctant and frantically resisting, implying the man was forcing himself on her.

She released this video not to send Ji Xinghang to prison, but to make him take responsibility for her.

Knowing she had been countered by Luo Ning and that she was no small-time influencer to begin with, her chances of rising in the entertainment circle were now slim.

Better to seize the opportunity, retire from the scene and marry into wealth.

Luo Ning had been keeping a close eye on Zhen Da’s movement.

Using hacker methods, she tracked down the video Zhen Da had sent to her trolls and watched it.

The second video was not very clear, but it gave enough of an idea.

The critical part was that both individuals’ faces were shown: Zhen Da’s clearly and the other’s mostly in profile, looking remarkably like Ji Xinghang.

The video had not been tampered with or face-swapped using technology, which only meant Zhen Da and her backers had planned this well.

If Ji Xinghang did not follow through with their plot, involving intercourse with Zhen Da, they found someone whose profile resembled Ji Xinghang’s nearly perfectly to create the scandal.

With the first video, the allegation of Ji Xinghang forcing Himself on Zhen Da could not be explained away and would be decisively proven.

Using her own reputation and purity to bind Ji Xinghang, Zhen Da was indeed ruthless.

However, Luo Ning naturally would not allow her to have her way.

She used methods beyond this world to replace Ji Xinghang’s face with that of Shi Ji in the video.

Both the first and second videos were altered.

Lu Xun had found out that Shi Ji’s men had been in contact with Zhen Da and also with Xia Mian, the woman who tried to seduce her.

This suggested that even if Shi Ji was not the ultimate mastermind, he was not uninvolved.

If they wanted to scheme against her, Luo Ning didn’t mind countering with a scheme of her own.

Zhen Da wanted to marry into nobility, didn’t she? Luo Ning felt it was only right to grant her that opportunity one more time; after all, Shi Ji was also from a noble family, his father being a prominent noble on Ou Island.

After altering the videos, Luo Ning immediately replaced the ones in the hands of the paid trolls.

Just as she had replaced them, the paid trolls released the video.

Since the trolls had seen Ji Xinghang’s face in the video when they checked, they did not look again when they posted it.

The title of the post still used Ji Xinghang as a hook, roughly meaning, " Star Fans, take a good look at who your Xingzai really is."

Being a top celebrity, and with today’s events, such a headline—even though posted by no big-name account—quickly caught the attention of countless people, who opened it and pushed it to the forefront.
