Help! The Seductive Villain Chases Me Everyday to Expose My Other Identities!

88 What If It Was Because of Chu Jinchen

The video released online was of the conflict between Shi Ran and Gong Zhiling in the dressing room.

However, after malicious editing, there were only two scenes of her slapping Gong Zhiling and throwing a thermos at her.

Shi Ran looked at the time. It had only been posted for less than an hour, but it was already ranked third on the trending searches. It seemed to be rising.

[That’s ruthless?!!]

[This slap sounds so painful.]

[I couldn’t tell that Shi Ran was such a person in the variety show.]

[This isn’t just showing off. Gong Zhiling is her senior, right?]

[So it makes sense that some people aren’t famous.]

[Variety is another way of acting. Only a fool believes it’s true.]

[You can never judge a book by its cover]

[My heart aches for our Lingling!!!]

“Well?” Ji Wenfeng asked.

He was driving, unable to distract himself with his phone at the moment.

“Second on the trending list,” Shi Ran said calmly.

Ji Wenfeng hit the gas, turned the wheel, and drove straight back to the office.

When he arrived at the office, he immediately called an emergency public relations team and issued a statement in the name of Shi Ran’s personal studio.

[Shi Ran’s Studio]: After professional verification, the video content has been edited. The facts are completely inconsistent with the video. The actors and staff in the dressing room can testify.

Then, he attached a photo of a conversation with a professional. It clearly pointed out all the editing traces in the video.

[I went back and looked again. It’s true that those places got stuck for a while.]

[Who’s so vicious? Malicious editing!]

[Just say our Master Ran isn’t the type to throw her weight around.]

[But no matter how edited, this slap and throw is always true, right?]

[The commenter above is right. What Shi Ran did can’t be faked, right?]

[What kind of feud do they have with each other? Slapping and throwing of a thermos flask. If this thermos flask hits someone, damn, how painful would it be!]

[At the end of the day, the studio wants to confuse things.]

[She even asked the staff to explain. Shi Ran is so scary. Would the staff dare to tell the truth?]

At that moment, a photo surged again, the heat rising.

The photo was taken on the set. At that time, the actor’s actions were exposed and he was kneeling down to apologize to Shi Ran.

The person who posted the video deliberately only intercepted the scene of the male actor kneeling.

At that time, Shi Ran’s expression was cold and the actor was lowering his head in humiliation.

Just by looking at the photo, it was easy to imagine that Shi Ran was so arrogant and despotic that the male actor had no choice but to kneel in humiliation.

[F*ck, f*ck, f*ck!! It can’t be edited this time, right?]

[She really is lawless, isn’t she?]

[This is the crew of Return with the King, right? Doesn’t anyone around them care?? Just watch???]

[Shi Ran is not even a C-lister now, right? How can she be so arrogant?]

[It’s different with a backer. She’s starting to do whatever she wants with Third Young Master’s backing!]

[That actor looks familiar. I think he’s an extra!]

[Can extras be bullied like this?? Tsk! Is such a person worthy of being in the entertainment industry??]

[She’s just a minor celebrity. Does she really think she’s high and mighty?]

The netizens cursed.

Ji Wenfeng frowned even more after reading it.

“Who took this? Why do these people like to take things out of context!” Fang Tongtong said angrily.

She looked at Ji Wenfeng. “Brother Feng, what should we do now?”

“I’ll call Director Li. It’d be best if we could get him to clear the air for us.”

Ji Wenfeng picked up his phone and called Director Li.

The call was answered quickly.

“Director Li, have you seen the trending searches online? I’m sure Director Li saw the dispute between Shi Ran and that male actor, so I thought…”

“Wenfeng,” Director Li interrupted before Ji Wenfeng could finish.

“It’s not that I’m not willing to help you, but Shi Ran kicked an iron plate this time. She must have offended someone today.”

“What do you mean?” Ji Wenfeng looked puzzled and looked at Shi Ran on the sofa.

Director Li sighed. “I would have been willing to clear the air even if you hadn’t mentioned it, but I just got a call from the investors. Forgive me if I can’t help you now.”

“Director Li, are you saying the investors won’t let you interfere?”

“That’s right. As soon as the situation on the Internet started to fester, the investors called me and asked me to remove Shi Ran. They even ordered everyone on the crew to shut up,” Director Li said.

“That’s why I can’t help you with this. Dingyu Technologies is our biggest investor. I can’t afford to offend them.”

...

Director Li hung up after that.

Ji Wenfeng looked shocked.

Dingyu Technology…

That was Yufei’s father’s business.

He walked over to Shi Ran and sat down. He repeated what Director Li had just said.

Then, he asked, “Did you offend someone today?”

“What’s the relationship between Dingyu Technology and Wen Yufei?” Shi Ran asked after thinking for a while.

“That’s her father’s company,” Ji Wenfeng answered, looking startled. “You mean…”

Shi Ran nodded. ‘It’s her.’

“Impossible!” Ji Wenfeng stood up abruptly and blurted out a denial.

His tone was firm. “Yufei isn’t that kind of person.”

...

“What if it’s because of Chu Jinchen?” Shi Ran supported her chin and said casually.

Ji Wenfeng opened his mouth, but he hesitated.

Yufei had liked Third Young Master for so many years.

Recently, rumors about Third Young Master and Shi Ran were everywhere, and CP fans were everywhere.

If that was the reason, it was not impossible.

“I think it’s Wen Yufei too,” Fang Tongtong muttered softly.

Seeing Shi Ran and Ji Wenfeng looking at her, she stuck out her tongue and smiled awkwardly.

“Tell me about it.” Ji Wenfeng rubbed the space between his eyebrows.

Fang Tongtong took a careful look at Shi Ran.

Seeing that Shi Ran didn’t stop her, she said truthfully, “She was in the dressing room and on the set today. Moreover, it’s obvious that she was deliberately targeting Sister Ran.”

“Gong Zhiling is clearly being unreasonable. I don’t believe that she really doesn’t know that Gong Zhiling is such a person, but she still spoke up for Gong Zhiling and asked Sister Ran to apologize.”

“Also, when Sister Ran found evidence that the man wanted to take advantage of her and made him kneel down to apologize, Wen Yufei came out again and asked us to forget about it.”

“What does she mean by ‘forget about it’? That assistant of hers is no slouch. She’s full of mischief.”

Fang Tongtong spoke happily.

She had been holding these words all day, but she was afraid that she was thinking too much, so she had never dared to say them.

She didn’t expect Sister Ran to think the same as her!

Ji Wenfeng leaned against the sofa with a tense expression. “Could you guys have misunderstood?”

He was still unwilling to believe that Wen Yufei was such a person.

At that moment, Ji Wenfeng’s phone rang on the table.

He picked it up and answered.

“Wenfeng.” Wen Yufei’s gentle voice sounded from the other end.

Ji Wenfeng subconsciously looked at Shi Ran and his heart skipped a beat.

“Yes,” was all he said.

Wen Yufei seemed to be used to it and didn’t mind.

“I saw what happened to Shi Ran online. Is she okay?” Wen Yufei asked worriedly.

“She’s fine.”

“Actually, I called because…” Wen Yufei hesitated for a moment.

She spoke again. “I heard my father wanted to replace Shi Ran. Is that true?”
