Chapter 443: Chapter 442: Constant Reversals

The post exploded instantly, with click rates continually climbing.

Many people were drawn in by the bolded text, curious to see what sort of dirt they could dig up on Top Star Ji.

Star Fans also clicked on it tentatively, afraid of seeing anything that could hurt Xingzai.

But after watching, they not only breathed a sigh of relief but also grew furious.

"After watching the two videos, all I wanna ask is, what does this have to do with Xingzai?"

"Shameless, mooching off Xingzai’s popularity, it’s literally like hanging a sheep’s head but selling dog meat."

"The content in this video is explosive, did Zhen Da get sexually assaulted?"

"She’s not even clean herself but still wants to smear Xingzai, how shameless."

"Could it be they want to target Ji Xinghang next?"

"Hey upstairs, do you guys have no sympathy? Zhen Da was raped, and someone leaked the video, yet you still talk so insensitively."

"The timing of this video is too coincidental."

"Could it be Luo Ning’s doing? After all, the two just had that assault incident today."

"If it was Luo Ning, that’s really low, women shouldn’t make things hard for other women."

Initially, many were denouncing Zhen Da, but now they started sympathizing with her.

And a lot of people started to set the tone, suspecting Luo Ning, feeling that her actions were unethical.

Since it had already been revealed that the assault incident was fabricated by Zhen Da herself, there was no need to keep hounding her like this.

After all, such a video could severely impact Zhen Da; anyone would find it unbearable.

Therefore, people online started criticizing Luo Ning.

Ning Fans weren’t having it and hit back immediately, demanding evidence to prove it was Luo Ning’s doing, or else they’d sue for defamation.

In fact, there were fans who were lawyers, and they sent a cease and desist letter to the two fiercest critics of Luo Ning.

This finally toned down the criticisms a bit, but everyone felt that Luo Ning had gone a bit too far this time.

This was also why Zhen Da released the video today.

Not only could it win her sympathy and shift her from being scolded to being a victim, but it could also get her connected with Ji Xinghang and join the wealthy class.

And incidentally take another dig at Luo Ning, getting back at her for past grievances.

Luo Ning had already guessed Zhen Da’s motives, so when the online sentiment started turning against her, she dug up the transaction records between Zhen Da and paid trolls.

She saved the screenshots and then anonymously sent them to an influential gossip marketing account in the entertainment circle.

This Eight Diagrams marketing account, specifically focused on entertainment circle gossip and often provided solid proofs, had a huge following.

Upon receiving the screenshots, the account knew they had a chance to stoke the flames.

After letting a tech guru verify the screenshots weren’t technologically fabricated, they released them on Weibo.

After continuous gossip today, people saw this on Weibo and were served yet another juicy piece.

"Holy shit, Zhen Da actually had trolls post that video herself, is she out of her mind?"

"Is this trying to throw dirt on Brother Ning?"

"Damn, isn’t the cost of throwing dirt like this a bit too high?"

"Does she want everyone to know she was raped?"

"I really can’t understand Zhen Bailian’s thinking, what’s her purpose in doing this?"

Following that, Fang Yan posted a Weibo, representing Luo Ning to legally pursue those who had spread rumors previously, and sent legal notices to all of them.

"Not surprising from Brother Ning, so resolute."

"They should pursue accountability, too. If it hadn’t been exposed that Zhen Da bought the cyber army to release the video, Luo Ning would have been falsely accused, unable to clear his name with ten mouths."

"Exactly, support Brother Ning, Brother Ning is the coolest!"

Before everyone had finished with the current scandal, a blogger came out to enlighten everyone about the identity of the gentleman in the video.

After spreading the information, he also shared numerous photos.

There were photos of Shi Ji being received by the Royal Family abroad, pictures taken after he returned to the country posing as a successful young entrepreneur on economic magazines, and his profile that people online had put together.

Overall, this guy is a powerful tycoon from a prestigious background, dignified, influential, and wealthy.

"Mr. Shi looks decent, but I didn’t expect him to have such preferences behind closed doors."

"With such power and good looks at a young age, he could have any woman he wants by just beckoning, yet he prefers to play forcefully."

"Mr. Shi’s taste is too much."

"I want to say, hasn’t Mr. Shi committed a crime? After all, in the video, Zhen Da was resisting the entire time."

"He should be arrested."

"I suddenly have a thought. Did Zhen Da direct and act in this whole thing herself targeting Mr. Shi?"

"If Zhen Da was really forced, how could she possibly have such a video and deliberately release it? Could they be role-playing?"

"It’s not impossible."

"Does that mean that Zhen Da had an affair with Mr. Shi, or that Mr. Shi is her sugar daddy but refuses to acknowledge their relationship, so she released this video to force him to marry her?"

"And at the same time, she could smear Luo Ning, killing two birds with one stone."

"Terrifying the more you think about it, if it’s true, this woman is too scary."

"That’s enough, if Zhen Da was really forced, she is a victim. Is it really okay for you all to speculate and discredit her like this?"

Once this person upstairs spoke out, everyone felt they were thinking too widely.

If Zhen Da is a victim, their actions were indeed excessive, so they changed the topic.

But who knew that just a few minutes later, someone anonymously posted several more photos.

All were photos of a young man and Zhen Da sitting together in cafés and restaurants.

The blogger then enlightened everyone with the identity again, this young man was Shi Ji’s personal assistant.

It was also pointed out that Shi Ji’s personal assistant had contact with Zhen Da before the video was made.

Two minutes later, the same person posted several screenshots of transactions made to Zhen Da by the young man, each not less than 300,000, and one even as high as 2 million.

Another small scandal was revealed: the reason Zhen Da got to play the supporting female role in Director Mo’s movie was because Shi Ji arranged it.

Based on these evidences, everyone concluded that Shi Ji was Zhen Da’s sugar daddy.

Whether it was forced or role-playing, or whether Zhen Da staged it intentionally, was hard to ascertain.

Regardless, it now seemed that her motive in releasing the video wasn’t to pursue accountability but was targetted, with the biggest likelihood being to force Shi Ji to marry her.

In just one day, the situation had turned around several times, and everyone’s sympathy for Zhen Da was completely exhausted.

"Zhen Bailian completely treats the public and fans as fools, playing us in circles."

"To despicable, we’ve all been used as her pawns."

Those who previously sympathized and spoke up for Zhen Da were outraged, feeling deceived.

Because of this, these people turned their guns, joining the Black, bystanders, and Star Fans to condemn Zhen Da.

Such an artist inherently has significant ethical issues, not only deceiving the public but also daring to release such an indecent video publicly, she should be severely punished.

The video was quickly forcefully deleted, and the claim of Zhen Da being forced was reported, and the relevant departments immediately intervened for investigation.
