BXBX NOVEL Chapter 200 Spreading Fake News (2)
Feng Huai\'s question was really an eye-opener. If he hadn\'t asked this question, one couldn\'t even think of it and thought that this post owner was a passerby who saw Zhilan being taken to the operation room accidentally.
Ran Xueyi wondered why this was also the case, but she still didn\'t offer any answer.
Feng Huai noticed her silence and no longer spoke again. He let Ran Xueyi think silently in her own space without being disturbed.
Her expression was cold and calm, almost indifferent, looking as though she didn\'t see the post from his tablet just a minute ago.
The silent and gloomy atmosphere was almost suffocating inside the car and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of horns blaring from the road next to them and the sound of cars speeding through the asphalt streets.
Ran Xueyi finally retracted her gaze outside the window and looked at the tablet she tossed to the side, suddenly lowered her voice, and said to him:
"Xiao Feng, drive back to the hospital."
p
Ran Xueyi also knew this but she had a bad premonition about the overall situation. She felt that what happened to Zhilan was not as simple as it looked like from the very beginning.
First, her accidental fall due to faulty equipment and the assistant prop master that disappeared mysteriously.
Second, the car that hit the ambulance truck when cars are supposed to make way and avoid blocking an ambulance\'s path.
And lastly, the post that suddenly appeared without any notice.
Everything seemed to be pointing at Zhilan, but somehow, Ran Xueyi found the second to the last sentence of the post owner extremely suspicious.
Out of nowhere, the post owner suddenly wrote: \'I remember that there was also a rumor that she stole somebody\'s role recently.\'
This sentence seemed to appear harmless and was just mentioned casually, but Ran Xueyi didn\'t think so.
After writing such a long post, sympathizing with the injured and criticizing the privileged people, it might look like the post owner was a noble person with deep moral ethics. But in truth, what they really wanted to point out was that Zhilan was an unscrupulous person who stole a certain somebody\'s role.
As for who this certain somebody is...
Ran Xueyi stared intensively at the tablet before telling her assistant to turn the car around and go back to the hotel instead of the hospital. Feng Huai was right. Going to the hospital was not a good idea right now since there will be people who might be harboring some evil intentions.
As they reached the hotel, unexpectedly, there were some reporters who were waiting outside of the entrance. The guards of the hotel were busily pushing the throng of reporters trying to get inside the hotel while some guests were terrified and tried to cover their faces, scared that their faces would show up on TV screens.
Feng Huai, "What the heck! Why are they already here?"
At this moment, his phone rang and he answered it.
Zhao Fei\'s voice came through the other side.
"Where are you?"
Ran Xueyi took the phone from him and replied solemnly, "We\'re outside the hotel."
Zhao Fei was relieved before reminding them: "Don\'t go back to the hotel tonight. Go stay somewhere else. For the next several days, the crew will not continue filming and will release a statement. Unfortunately, Zhilan might not be able to continue shooting her scenes and will be replaced. But honestly, I don\'t think the film will even continue shooting anymore."
Considering the past controversies that surrounded the film, the National Film and Television Administrations might censor the film and not release it to the public even if the crew completed shooting everything. Adding the fact that an accident happened to one of the artists of the film, there might be notice from the Administrations to put a stop on the filming altogether.
As someone who had been in the industry for such a long time, Ran Xueyi knew that the chances of getting a full-stop notice from the government had increased. Once the government got themselves involved, no one could save the film no matter how much money and power were deployed.
Thus, both Ran Xueyi and Zhao Fei could only sigh in dismay.
"For now, I will search for a new role for you to take. There are some scripts I just received from friends and in my opinion, they looked great."
"I understand, Sister Zhao," Ran Xueyi replied after a few seconds of silence.
After they hung up, Ran Xueyi took her own phone and made a sudden call to Wu Qi. She told him to find out whether Gu Jiao and Zhilan knew each other or any kind of connection that could link them together.
As always, Wu Qi worked very quickly and not only an hour later, she received his reply.
It was the same as the previous one. What Wu Qi sent to her was another file containing Zhilan\'s information.
Skipping over the basic and unrelated stuff, Ran Xueyi found what she was looking for inside a highschool class photo. In the photo, three rows of students in their uniforms were smiling and looking at the camera with their teacher sitting in the center. One of these students was Zhilan with shorter hair and younger facial features, still looking very innocent and bright, as though the brightest stars were shining inside her eyes.
Looking to the right, just three students from where Zhilan was standing, was another person whom Ran Xueyi had grown familiar with. It was Gu Jiao.
Previously, Ran Xueyi was only guessing that they had some connection with each other and was hoping it wasn\'t the case, but she didn\'t expect that their link was closer and muddier than she expected.
According to the reports that Wu Qi sent to her, Zhilan and Gu Jiao had been rivals during high school. They competed against each other to take the top spot in the class and when they finally graduated, they even went to the same training camp for young artists. At that time, there didn\'t seem to be anything wrong and the two lived their own lives very peacefully without well water intruding with sea water.
However, there were some events that took place during their time in the training camp.
Zhilan would always find her uniform and some other stuff being stolen or thrown inside the trash. At first, it was just these simple acts of bullying, but suddenly, the level of bullying that happened to her gradually escalated to the point that she had to be sent to the hospital and have a 2 inches scar to let her remember this dark period.
Unexpectedly, everything that happened to Zhilan was all Gu Jiao\'s doing. As for her reason why she has been targeting her, Ran Xueyi looked at the grading ranking that Zhilan received during the trainee camp and compared it to Gu Jiao\'s.
After reading the report that Wu Qi had sent to her, Ran Xueyi remembered that Song Yu Han had previously told her to tell him if she met any kind of undesirable situation and he would solve it for her. Though the offer was extremely tempting, Ran Xueyi didn\'t think that she should let him handle this matter. He already helped her once previously and letting him handle Gu Jiao a second time seemed a bit too unappealing for her.
So, Ran Xueyi decided that it was time for her to deal with Gu Jiao, once and for all.
There was no denying that Gu Jiao had some connection with what had happened to Zhilan. Even though Gu Jiao didn\'t step forward personally to do the deed, she still used another person\'s knife to destroy a person\'s life.
Due to her greed, Zhilan\'s life was almost robbed by her and now, her future career was unclear.
Ran Xueyi dropped down her gaze again and looked at the class photo calmly. Was Gu Jiao still dreaming about controlling the entertainment industry within her small hands? Isn\'t she afraid of losing her hands because of it?
Ran Xueyi curled her lips boringly, and blinked her eyelids that were framed by her long, dark lashes.
Gu Jiao will never learn a lesson. She will repeat the same mistake over and over again without conscience, and she will ruin another person\'s life while she is still living a luxurious one.
Towards an unrepentant person like this, Ran Xueyi knew exactly what could stop them.
\'Break their wings until there is no point of return.\'
She sent a message to Wu Qi, asking him the exact whereabouts of Gu Jiao. Wu Qi was still as quick as ever and sent the location without asking her why she needed it. He trusted her judgment without a single doubt.
After seeing Gu Jiao\'s accurate location, Ran Xueyi told her manager to release everything that Gu Jiao has done over the past few years to the press, her current location, and the intimate photos of her with her backer, President Tzongshi.
Of course, this move wasn\'t enough to point a dot on the artery of Gu Jiao\'s career and greediness. So, Ran Xueyi called her number one support fan and husband, Song Yu Han, and asked him if he had anything on President Tzongshi and to release it to the media.
This time, Gu Jiao will have no one to turn to and sink together with that man.
