Chapter 77: One Blow After Another

[Did ng get hacked or sothing?]

[What’s going on here? I don’t understand. Why is ng starting to publicly clash with Huang Wankai?]

The comnt section under ng’s post was initially filled with confusion. Nobody was laughing now; instead, everyone was waiting for updates.

Soon, the updates arrived.

However, they didn’t co from ng Chao’s side, but rather from the official account of the ng Group, which released a statent alongside a court subpoena.

ng Group: Recently, a certain entertainer has used misleading photos to defa the reputation of our CEO. Rest assured, our CEO will pursue legal action to the very end. [Image][Image]

As soon as this post went live, it caused a huge stir.

The target was obvious. After all, today’s rumor involved only Huang Wankai and ng Group’s CEO, ng Ke. The way the ng Group distanced themselves was clear-cut, like a slap to Huang Wankai’s face.

However, Huang Wankai’s fans flooded the comnt section, calling the ng Group attention-seekers and claiming that the rumor was started by tabloid accounts and paparazzi. They questioned why the bla was placed solely on Huang Wankai.

The ng Group’s social dia manager wasn’t having any of it and directly responded to a particularly harsh comnt.

ng Group: I won’t hesitate to release evidence in court showing that a certain entertainer’s team paid for sar campaigns. If this entertainer and their fans are really keen to play the bla ga—well, grin—be careful what you ask for.

Faced with this, even Huang Wankai’s fans bit their tongues, fearing that the evidence would indeed be laid bare.

Within minutes of ng Group’s statent, Huang Wankai’s managent company and studio scrambled to issue an apology. They acknowledged their mistake in exploiting ng Group’s CEO for marketing purposes and clarified the origins of the misleading photo, admitting it was deliberately staged.

This was essentially a confession that Huang Wankai had intentionally fabricated the controversy, dragging ng Group’s CEO into their sche.

Huang Wankai’s team thought they could use the scandal to shift public attention from other controversies surrounding them. They never anticipated running afoul of ng Group. But could Huang Wankai’s studio really afford to antagonize the ng Group?

That said, wasn’t ng Group being a little petty about all this? After all, it was just a baseless rumor, and not many people believed it anyway. Why did ng Group take it so seriously? Huang’s team couldn’t help wondering.

With ng Group’s statent clarified, the spectators finally understood: ng’s earlier post had been out of brotherly loyalty for ng Ke. Yet, so still felt ng Chao was blowing things out of proportion.

Amid this uproar, Chutian Entertainnt’s official account and Lin Qin’s studio jointly released a formal statent.

The statent revealed that several key offenders who had led the online attacks against Lin Qin had been reported to the cyber police for investigation. Legal action would be pursued if necessary.

Moreover, the statent confird that they would file lawsuits against Huang Wankai and his team for orchestrating the cyberbullying campaign.

The accompanying images included an official stamped declaration, a response from the cyber police, and extensive evidence showing Huang’s team directly inciting fans and influencers to attack Lin Qin online.

So the wave of insults targeting Lin Qin and his family hadn’t been spontaneous at all—it was a calculated effort stirred up by Huang Wankai’s team.

The realization left countless spectators shivering with unease. Just how deep was this vendetta? How could soone stoop so low?

No wonder ng had angrily lashed out with that post. Huang Wankai and companies like his truly needed a lesson on basic human decency!

[ng must feel heartbroken over Lin Qin and his brother. Seriously, so people are just disgusting. If you want to chase clout, fine—but dragging down others, slandering them, and inciting such vile attacks? Honestly, fuck this!]

[Poor Lin Xiaotu. But seriously, don’t people realize Lin Xiaotu isn’t just Lin Xiaotu? He’s Lin Aixinjueluo Xiaotu. Do they really think he’s just an easy target as a small-ti actor?]

[I bet Huang’s team thought the abusive comnts mostly seed like spontaneous fan actions and believed "law doesn’t punish the masses." But haha—guess what? Xiaotu’s team not only followed through but also exposed the puppet master orchestrating everything! Justice delivered!]

[Haha! This is hands-down the "best slapdown of the year!"]

...

One damning revelation after another dropped, leaving Huang Wankai utterly crushed. Yet, it wasn’t the end—soon the state-run dia and official outlets made statents about the incident. Although they didn’t na Huang Wankai directly, they referred to "a certain celebrity with the surna Huang."

Their ssage was clear: before becoming an entertainer, one must first possess professional ethics. Public figures have a responsibility to inspire positivity. Celebrities who lack moral integrity and lead others astray should not remain in the public eye.

The last ti an artist had been publicly criticized this way was a drug-abusing actor, who had since faded into utter obscurity. With the official stamp deeming him morally unfit, Huang Wankai’s entertainnt career was effectively over.

Within monts, Huang found himself in dire straits as brands he had worked with terminated endorsent contracts and demanded penalty fees for breach of contract. Productions that had been negotiating with his team cut ties, avoiding him like the plague.

Once accustod to constant busyness, Huang now found himself idle—not the kind of idle he wanted.

Initially, he thought this would all blow over in a few days, confident that his benefactor would continue to support him financially.

But in the days that followed, harsh truths hit him one by one. First, his benefactor’s secretary called to sever ties entirely, without even offering him severance pay. Then his agent inford him that the company had decided to shelve him indefinitely. The scandal had caused irreparable damage to the company’s reputation. Continuing to employ Huang would be out of the question.

Huang sat there, stunned by the news, finally realizing the gravity of his downfall.

The agent regarded him coldly, "I’ve told you before: this industry is not a playground for your antics. You couldn’t learn your lesson, so maybe it’s ti for you to leave."

The entertainnt world always has talented and well-connected individuals. Huang Wankai had neither talent nor connections—he was just a plaything for others, propped up for a few years before losing sight of who he was. A fall from grace had always been inevitable.

Slumped on the ground, Huang stared at his empty hands, trying in vain to grab hold of sothing tangible, but nothing was there.

Huang let out hollow, mirthless laughter, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face.

Did he regret it?

Of course, he regretted it.

But he only regretted targeting the wrong people. He had thought he could step over Lin Qin and ng Ke for his own gain, but instead, he had been dragged down into ruin.

Suddenly, Huang’s eyes lit up. He wasn’t entirely out of options!

Rembering his initial benefactor, Huang quickly grabbed his phone and dialed the number he had saved all this ti—

"Hello, Boss Fang..."
