Chapter 209 My Cyber Dark History
She faced the crowd and spoke calmly, "Director Chen, you can't say that. I'm sure anyone who's watched a crime drama knows that when there's uncertainty in the proof of a case, the benefit of the doubt goes to the defendant. This means my artist is currently innocent."
She glanced at Lin Mengqing coldly, "Unless this assistant can provide solid evidence!"
Lin Mengqing said with red eyes: "I am the victim, why do you still need me to provide evidence? I have already said what I want to say, believe it or not! Of course, you are his assistant, so you naturally believe him!"
"Assistant Xiao Jiang, when we were filming the show, I thought you were a pretty good person. We're both women, and when faced with something like this, shouldn't we be united in our hatred? How can you ignore the facts just because he's your artist?"
Lin Mengqing knew she was Mrs. Pei and would definitely defend her husband. But she had to say that because there were still people filming, she had to divert all the negative news onto them.
"fact?"
Jiang Tingxia scoffed, "I only believe what I see. I'm sorry to convict someone based on just a few words from you. That's hard to convince people."
"Then what do you want me to do? I couldn't even run away in that situation, so do I have to use my phone to record it slowly?"
Jiang Tingxia smiled, "So, without any substantial evidence, why are you forcing me to believe and help you?"
"you--"
Lin Mengqing was furious and turned to look at Jiang Yuan, as if asking him for help.
Jiang Yuan used his eyes to signal her to calm down, and then said to Jiang Tingxia, "We don't have any substantial evidence right now, but I believe my assistant wouldn't joke about such a thing. What good would it do her?"
Jiang Tingxia smiled again, "It's not good for her, but it's good for you."
Her words were suggestive, and Jiang Yuan frowned, "What good will that do me?"
"This, Mr. Jiang, you know it yourself."
"I don't know what Assistant Jiang is talking about." Jiang Yuan's face was not looking good. "We have no evidence for this matter, so for now we can only swallow our anger. However, we will collect evidence carefully. When the time comes, I hope Mr. Pei will not continue to deny it."
The word "again" is used very cleverly.
It is implying that Pei Yanzhou has done something wrong and is not admitting it.
Jiang Tingxia knew without hesitation that if his words were recorded and posted online, netizens would definitely be misled by him and attack Pei Yanzhou and her.
As she expected, public opinion online has turned upside down.
"Oh my god! This Pei Yanzhou is really disgusting. He was like this before and he's still like this now. A dog can't change its ways!"
"He looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect his character to be so bad!"
"You only just realized he's rotten? His glorious deeds before should be played on loop on the entire internet for three days and three nights, so everyone can see his true face!"
"A jerk like him still has so many fans. What kind of people are his fans?"
"I used to like Assistant Xiao Jiang very much, but now I've turned from a fan to a hater. Let's ban these two together!"
"Being a fan of Pei Yanzhou is really my cyber black history!"
"Lin Mengqing is so pitiful, being bullied by a bastard like Pei Yanzhou... Look at Pei Yanzhou's ugly face, I really want to hit him with a shoe horn!"
Netizens were outraged and wanted to support Lin Mengqing. They scolded Pei Yanzhou and made him the number one trending search. They also strongly @ the crew, asking Director Chen to kick him out, otherwise they would report him and boycott the show.
The most active among them were Jiang Yuan's fans. Like Jiang Yuan, they had always considered Pei Yanzhou a competitor. This incident emboldened them, and they all added fuel to the fire.
Many netizens also @ the police, asking them to investigate the matter.
...
On the set, Director Chen said irritably, "Alright, everyone, cut the crap. We don't know the truth yet. Let's leave it at that for today. Everyone, go back and rest, and we'll resume work tomorrow morning."
The staff wanted to watch the excitement for a while longer, but after hearing what the director said, they all felt a little disappointed.
Director Chen wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but Lin Mengqing was not happy about that. She had to force Pei Yanzhou into a corner.
Then he said, "Director Chen, something like this happened on your set, are you just going to let it go like this?"
Director Chen gritted his teeth, "Then what do you want? You can't produce any actual evidence!"
"I don't want to embarrass everyone. Although I can't sue him and can't do anything to him, he should apologize to me. Isn't he willing to even do such a small request?"
As Lin Mengqing spoke, she was about to cry again.
Jiang Tingxia scoffed, "The premise of an apology is that you've done something wrong. By doing this, aren't you asking Mr. Pei to admit that he did that to you?"
“………”Lin Mengqing choked.
Pei Yanzhou also said coldly: "If I really did it, no matter what you asked me to do, I would not have any complaints, let alone an apology."
"You... are going too far! Okay, I admit it. This time, it's just my bad luck, okay?" Lin Mengqing started crying again as she spoke, her acting skills bursting out.
Jiang Tingxia chuckled twice, "We haven't even mentioned bad luck yet, but you're the first to say it."
This clip was secretly filmed and posted online, and immediately there were more comments attacking the two people.
The entry "Pei Yanzhou's on-set sexual assault" originally had the word "explosion" in it, but soon it became "boiling".
As the situation continued to escalate, Jiang Yuan glanced at his phone, then turned to look at Lin Mengqing and whispered, "It's become a big deal. The effect is good."
There was no evidence on either side of the case, and even the police wouldn't have been able to help. There was no need to convict Pei Yanzhou; it was enough to make him a target of online smear campaigns and prevent him from gaining a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Lin Mengqing wanted to laugh, but then she remembered that she was still acting, so she quickly squeezed out two hypocritical tears.
Over there, Jiang Tingxia and Pei Yanzhou also looked at each other.
She winked at him slyly, "You're going viral on the internet now, you know that?"
"I know. Being black and red is also red. This overwhelming traffic also falls on my head."
Pei Yanzhou chuckled, "It's okay, let them scold me for a while. The more they scold me, the more painful it will be."
Jiang Tingxia nodded.
Indeed, it would be too boring to expose them so quickly.
Make a fuss, the bigger the better!
When they all think their goal has been achieved, I will give them a fatal blow. By then, their expressions will surely be very interesting.
Pei Yanzhou looked at Lin Mengqing again, with a half-smile, "Ms. Lin, you are so unlucky to admit that you are unlucky, but this matter is not over yet."
"..."
Everyone present gasped.
What does he mean? It seems like there is something else behind his words.
Lin Mengqing didn't understand for a moment and looked a little surprised. "What?"
