Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Intentional Fishing

"Wu isn’t anything decent, supporting his game like that, but all he does is slack off every day!"

"Ugh, that Wu is so disgusting! Has time to be on programs every day but no time for game development!"

"Dude, at this rate, when will you ever finish that game?"

"Is Wu planning to keep on stringing us along and finally run off with the money?"

Director Yang Chen looked at the discussion in the barrage and found it amusing, quickly instructing Pan Mingxuan through his earpiece to come out and ask about it, also conveniently shifting from the previous topic.

"Teacher Wu Mu, everyone in the live room is saying that you’re just dragging this game out to eventually run off with the money—what do you think about that?" Pan Mingxuan asked.

Wu Mu clicked his tongue. "Don’t slander me, I never run off when it comes to developing games!"

He looked at the camera and laughed, "When I launched the crowdfunding, there was a project deadline, and past this timeframe, everyone is allowed to request a refund."

"Isn’t his project deadline by next year’s end at the latest?"

In Beijing, Han Yan, who was squeezed on the couch watching the show with her best friend, asked curiously.

Zhang Li nodded, "Yep, before December 1 next year."

Although neither of them played games, they still paid a little attention to Wu Mu’s game project.

"I feel like if he seriously worked on it, he could finish before this December."

Zhang Li watched Wu Mu on the screen sitting for a bit, chatting, and then taking a few drinks, and burst into laughter, "He slacks off way too much."

The two continued to watch the show while chatting.

Han Yan’s phone vibrated.

She curiously picked it up.

Wu Mu Anti-fan Group Admin: "@everyone"

"Huh, why is this person @everyone again?" Han Yan exclaimed.

Every time this group admin @everyone, it must be because there’s some drama happening on Wu Mu’s side.

But Wu Mu is live right now, what could possibly be happening?

...Could it be about the workplace incident earlier?

The two exchanged glances, both heading in that direction with their thoughts.

Regarding the doubts about Wu Mu’s workplace, they were utterly unconvinced.

Although they did find it a bit strange, but it was just one workplace after all, just a minor suspicion and nothing conclusive.

Moreover, Wu Mu’s attitude in the end...

They both vaguely felt it familiar, just like when he was trying to stir up some show effects.

Indeed, in the Wu Mu Anti-fan group, they were discussing the workplace incident, but with new "evidence."

Anti-fan Group Admin: "Tian Shan said he has sold a few songs to Wu Mu, what does everyone think?"

What?

Both were stunned and quickly looked at the attached image screenshot.

The screenshot showed a new Weibo post by someone named Tian Shan.

Musician Tian Shan: "Just scrolled through a certain show, saw someone’s home, honestly quite displeased, this person bought a few songs from me earlier, told me he didn’t have enough of his own and asked me to write some, although I sold the rights too since the price was good, I agreed."

"Also felt that he’s quite a capable creator, my songs being bought by him didn’t feel like a waste, quite happy about it. Only to find out now I was deceived, this guy has no talent at all, his so-called songs are all bought from others."

Is someone coming out to hammer Wu Mu?

Both of them felt a jolt in their hearts.

Although this person didn’t mention names, everyone knew whom he was talking about.

"Look up who this person is!"

Both were unfamiliar with this Tian Shan.

Zhang Li took out her phone to search, then the more she searched, the more her heart sank.

"This person seems to have written several popular songs."

Though they seemed to be just popular Douyin songs to them, it looked quite impressive.

Such a person coming out to hammer Wu Mu made them somewhat worried.

Unexpectedly, while they were worried, people in Wu Mu’s Anti-fan group seemed not worried at all.

"Obviously fake, I know Tian Shan, he’s basically a tailor, always cutting up popular songs, been called out several times before by original creators, a man who’d do anything for money and still acts all high and mighty."

"Exactly, his songs might be mediocre, but still better than this clown’s songs, obviously just here to chase clout."

The people in this Wu Mu Anti-fan group were all seasoned fans, those who had always been willing to spend time and effort generating data for Wu Mu.

They were well-informed about various details within the circle, common folks might not know Tian Shan’s scandals, but these fans had heard quite a bit.

Everyone felt that paying more attention to this clown was an insult.

However, once everyone unanimously thought he was bluffing, they all noticed something off.

"Huh, why are there so many people mentioning this in Wu’s live room suddenly?"

"They’re all asking him to respond."

Something’s not right, not right!

This Tian Shan Weibo was posted just ten minutes ago, and his account itself didn’t have many followers or popularity, how could the issue possibly ferment so quickly.

"Someone is messing with Wu!"

Having seen similar tactics before, they were quite sensitive to these manipulations.

They instantly sensed something fishy.

And it wasn’t just in the live room.

"It’s on Weibo as well! Someone is managing a trending topic about Wu buying songs!"

On Weibo, the hashtags #TianShanRevealsWuMuBuysSongs# and #WuMuLiveStreamDetailsExposeBuyingSongs# had already made it to the real-time hot search list, and they were climbing fast, evidently someone was manipulating data to push the topic.

This... could only mean their internet brother had far too many rhythms and enemies to count, just stirring up a little something attracted a crowd, ready to lambast him at the slightest opportunity.

After realizing what was happening, the atmosphere in the group subtly shifted.

After somewhat distractedly sharing news from everywhere, someone finally couldn’t hold back and asked, "Should we jump in too?"

They certainly didn’t want to miss a chance to bash Wu.

But having acted several times without any real success, each time ending up embarrassed, the group grew naturally cautious.

And...

"Is this Wu intentionally baiting this time?"

"Why do I feel his earlier non-response looked all weird?"

"Right, just seems like he’s plotting something bad!"

It’s often said, the one who understands you the best might just be your enemy.

Especially after on the show earlier, Pan Mingxuan looked slightly unnatural, yet Wu Mu still pretended nothing was wrong, they could already smell something fishy.
