Chapter 265: 265 Angering the crowd, death looms [1 more update] Chapter 265: 265 Angering the crowd, death looms [1 more update] There were also two pictures attached below the Weibo post.
One was a paparazzi shot of Ye Wanlan dropping out of school to beco a junior model in the fashion circle, and the other was a polished student photo of Sheng Yunyi during her study in the Starman Federal Empire.
The contrast between the two brought a strong sense of shock.
[No wonder one is the bright moonlight, and the other a replacent. In terms of education, she can’t compare, and in terms of looks, she also falls short. When “Treasures of The Divine Land” was looking for soone, why didn’t they find the real person directly?]
[Maybe compared to the real person, the replacent is better at capitalizing on the situation? Honestly, I can’t see any good points in this Ye Wanlan.]
[Can they change the person? I hate the type of won who climb up the ladder by relying on n the most! Change her quickly, no change no watch!]
[Otherwise, why not let the real person co on the show? I think the bright moonlight person seems quite nice.]
Naturally, this news was released by the team of Huo Ximian, and with the deliberate guidance of marketing accounts and paid trolls, the attention of the netizens indeed were led astray.
Many netizens flooded the official Weibo of “Treasures of The Divine Land,” once again raising protests, demanding the program group to imdiately replace Ye Wanlan, expressing themselves in quite unfriendly terms, not lacking in harsh swear words.
“Yes, it’s .” Ye Wanlan spoke calmly and unflappably.
“Outrageous!” Professor Xue could not restrain his anger, “This must be soone jealous of you starting rumors about you!”
Ye Wanlan pondered for a mont and smiled slightly, “Professor Xue, I have to admit that, in light of so facts, it actually can’t be considered as rumors.”
After all, during those four years when her body was occupied by the Transcendent Woman, the things that the Transcendent Woman did, in the eyes of outsiders, were indeed done by her.
She could tell the people closest to her that it wasn’t her, but this sort of thing, she couldn’t possibly announce to the world.
Set aside being regarded as ntally ill, the most important thing was that Ye Wanlan had a premonition that the Transcendent Woman was definitely still sowhere in this world.
And not just for now, aside from being a “Ti Betrayer,” from where the Transcendent Woman ca, what powers she used to take over her body, and how she could then leave so effortlessly… All of this was unknown to her.
The unknown is the most frightening existence.
Know your enemy and know yourself, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.
She knew almost nothing about the Transcendent Woman; even if she laid plans in advance, she couldn’t defend against everything.
More importantly, who knew if she would be taken over by the Transcendent Woman once again?
“What should we do about this?” Professor Xue was stunned, “Just leave it online unattended?”
“There are specialized people handling it.” Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly and walked over to a corner, dialing Fang Qingli’s number.
After staying in Fengyuan for a week, Fang Qingli, Jiang Xulin, and Zhou Yixiang had all returned to Jiangcheng to continue their respective work projects.
Recently, Pulling the Sky Company’s projects were very intense. They not only needed to start planning to enter Yunjing around this ti next year but also had to prepare for the upcoming fashion show.
Even though their developnt had been progressively steady, the market was vast, and countless risks awaited ahead.
All of this required planning ahead.
“Hello? Sister Lan!” There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone; clearly, Fang Qingli was outside, and she was very angry, “I already saw what happened online, Sister Lan, don’t worry. Shengshi Entertainnt has a strong ability to control public opinion, and they have already begun to prepare.”
“Good.” Ye Wanlan said blandly, “After pulling down the news and the trending search, track the IPs behind these accounts.”
“Understood.” Fang Qingli got the hint, “I will get in touch with the legal departnt to send out a lawyer’s letter.”
Ye Wanlan ended the call, stepped forward, and said, “I’m sorry for interrupting our work today. Please continue, and if there is anything I can help with, please feel free to ask.”
“You’re too polite, Miss Ye. Without you, where could we have discovered Lin Fanyin’s tomb?” The leader of the archaeology team was flattered, and he knelt down to touch the soil on the ground, speaking with a serious expression, “We’ve just surveyed, and this hole wasn’t dug little by little, but rather, soone with incredibly powerful Inner Strength constructed this hole and then placed Lin Fanyin’s body in it.”
“Indeed, it’s the Sword Saint!” Professor Shen blurted out, “The childhood sweetheart relationship between Xie Linyuan and Heavenly Sound Sect Leader Lin Fanyin is a major historical breakthrough!”
Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes lowered.
It was not only a major historical breakthrough but even if placed three hundred years ago, this news, once released, would definitely be an explosive revelation.
After all, she had only found out about it now.
If she had known about it three hundred years ago, she would have definitely helped Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin clear up the misunderstanding between them.
However, she also knew very well that the Sword Saint and the Heavenly Sound Sect Leader could join forces to fend off enemies and spar at the Martial World Conference.
But they could never possibly settle down together.
For their responsibility was far greater than anything else.
“Wanlan, you must write this paper.” Professor Xue said, “Stop shying away from it.”
Ye Wanlan snapped back to reality, paused for a mont, “Alright, I will write it.”
Let her, three hundred years later, pick up her pen for her pair of friends.
**
At this very mont, in Jiangcheng.
Fang Qingli had already contacted the public relations and legal departnts of Shengshi Entertainnt, tackling the malicious public opinion incident.
The incident was indeed intentionally magnified, with many internet trolls muddying the waters and deliberately leading the narrative.
#Please replace the host of “Treasures of The Divine Land” imdiately#
#Support the true moonlight beauty ascending to the top#
Both hashtags were still trending, and looking at the comnts in the plaza, Sheng Yunyi shook her head slightly and sighed with a smile, “Whenever I’m worried about how to solve a problem, soone always cos out to give a hand.”
Madam Sheng was right, “borrowing a knife to kill soone” is the most useful thod. Not only can one avoid showing their own hand, but even if sothing really does go wrong, they wouldn’t have to assu any responsibility.
“She was too arrogant, even daring to offend the daughter of the Huo Family,” the assistant chuckled. “This ti, she’s really in for it, Miss Yunyi doesn’t have to worry anymore.”
Sheng Yunyi nodded slightly: “What about Hechen?”
“President Zhou is still working overti,” the assistant replied respectfully. “If Miss Yunyi would like to visit President Zhou, I can make the arrangents right away.”
“No need,” said Yunyi. “Hechen has also been very busy lately, let’s not disturb him.”
anwhile, at Zhou Corporation, in the General Manager’s office.
Zhou Hechen was dealing with a matter, his brows furrowed.
“Sir,” the secretary approached quietly, hesitating for a mont before speaking, “Your na has hit the news trending list, should we remove it?”
Zhou Hechen looked up: “What happened?”
“It’s related to Miss Ye,” the secretary said. “The matter about Miss Ye being your body double… the internet has quite a few criticisms of your actions.”
A slight change flickered across Zhou Hechen’s eyes.
Half a year had passed, yet Ye Wanlan still hadn’t bowed her head to him.
He couldn’t help but wonder if she had truly given up, rather than playing hard to get.
Yet, based on Ye Wanlan’s behavior over the past two years, so abject and dog-like, he didn’t believe she could extract herself so easily.
However, the length of this tantrum was indeed a bit too long this ti.
And he had to admit, the changes in Ye Wanlan over the past six months were huge, and the stark contrast before and after did attract him sowhat.
“Don’t worry about it,” Zhou Hechen said coldly. “When she suffers enough, she’ll know what to do.”
As long as Ye Wanlan made a phone call to seek his help, he would help her.

Elsewhere, in Yunjing, at the Xiang Family residence.
Yesterday, Xiang Shaoyu took an overnight flight to the Northern Lands for an antique auction and imdiately rushed back to deal with Xiang Family affairs without stopping.
At the mont, with dark circles under his eyes, his mood was extrely irritable.
“Brother Shaoyu, sothing terrible has happened!” Xiang Yuefeng ran over in a panic, “Miss Ye has been bullied!”
Just as Xiang Shaoyu was about to slap the reckless Yuefeng away, he heard the latter part and stood up imdiately: “What happened?”
“I was surfing just now, and I saw that people online were cursing Miss Ye,” Yuefeng said breathlessly. “The trending search was quickly taken down, and many accounts were banned, but Miss Ye was genuinely being scolded. Can you tolerate this, Brother Shaoyu?”
Xiang Shaoyu: “…”
He really couldn’t.
Xiang Shaoyu pressed the bridge of his nose: “Have you found out anything?”
“Huo Ximian!” Xiang Yuefeng exclaid, “Last ti, she tried to harm Miss Ye covertly and only brought trouble upon herself, getting kicked out of the show. Now, she’s trying to force Miss Ye out using public opinion!”
“The Huo surna?” Xiang Shaoyu inquired, “What is Huo Ximian’s status in the Huo Family?”
“This…” Yuefeng was taken aback for a mont, “She probably… has no status, right?”
Although he, too, was a direct descendant of the Xiang Family, he hadn’t managed to enter the inner circle of core mbers.
In large families like the Xiangs, the hierarchy is quite clear; the core descendants are a group that receives all the family resources.
There’s a core descendants evaluation every five years. Only those who pass the evaluation can hold the status of a core descendant.
Five years ago, Yuefeng failed the first evaluation, and thus missed out on this status.
Below the core disciples are direct descendants like him, and all other descendants are considered outsiders to the resource circle.
But even these outsiders have access to more resources than your average wealthy and influential family.
There are specific gatherings for direct descendants every year, but Yuefeng doesn’t recall the Huo Family having such a person at these gatherings.
He had never paid much attention to the entertainnt circle, and Shaoyu had even less ti for such things.
Shaoyu furrowed his brows, his expression chilling: “No status, and yet daring to be so arrogant?”
Indeed, it seems she doesn’t know who really calls the shots here in Yunjing!
