Both in the book and in reality, such tricks and the vexing act of cursing irritated her.

Bai Yun skipped the private messages and browsed the Weibo comments and trending list.

A video recorded by Ge Fei’s fan was trending. It looked like it was secretly recorded, but in fact, the audio quality of the video was so clear it looked like someone had recorded this professionally. The image was not shaky, and not at all blurry.

In the video, the fan asked anxiously about the situation upon bumping into the bandaged Ge Fei in the hospital. With his eyes lowered, there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness on Ge Fei’s handsome face. He was like the tragic second male lead in an idol drama, making people completely immersed in his act.

“This is all my fault. I should have talked to Ah Yun properly.” His words were directed at Bai Yun.

Then, under the questioning of that fan, he recounted his acquaintance with Bai Yun in a nostalgic tone.

He expressed that he had found Bai Yun to be really pitiful and introverted back then. Coupled with the fact that Bai Yun had taken the initiative to add him as a friend and ask him out for meals, he felt sympathetic and became good friends with Bai Yun.

Later on, he also rendered Bai Yun plenty of help in the entertainment industry and pulled strings for her to obtain considerable resources.

However, in order to become famous, Bai Yun began to implicate others and every time, she would ask him to clean up the mess for her.

In the video, he even listed out the celebrities that the original Bai Yun had dissed one by one. In the end, he even expressed sadly that he had tried to talk her out of it but failed. Bai Yun even became even more determined to get involved with Yuan Cong and Chu Jiang.

In the video, Ge Fei looked fragile and innocent. His eyes were red, and he put on a convincing act of being genuine. After the video ended, he even sincerely wished Bai Yun a bright future ahead.

Then the video went dark. That fan who claimed to have secretly taken the video began to type out a string of black subtitles.

Bai Yun skimmed through the many words, the gist of which was that Bai Yun was heartless. Never mind the fact that she did not listen to advice, but she even hit Ge Fei. Nevertheless, Ge Fei still thought that Bai Yun was just obsessed and considered her his good friend in spite of all that. However, this fan felt that Bai Yun was not worthy of being his friend, much less an artiste.

This video had already been forwarded over 10,000 times and Ge Fei’s fans were spamming the phrase “Bai Yun, get out of the entertainment industry”. The fans of the celebrities mentioned in the video even went straight to Bai Yun’s Weibo page.

At first, Bai Yun still had a few fans speak up for her, but there were too many critical voices, and Bai Yun’s fans were no match for them. Soon, her Weibo page was flooded with curses.

After Bai Yun finished browsing, the corners of her lips twitched. She felt that Ge Fei had really done a good job. He did not mention her fault throughout, but every word was about her insensibility.

On one hand, he established himself as a sincere good friend. On the other hand, he portrayed Bai Yun as a two-faced, unreasonable, extremely ruthless, and vain woman.

One had to admit, with such abilities, it would be a shame for him not to be a screenwriter and director.

After Bai Yun finished watching this scene, she stretched and patted Du Qing, who was still arguing with the other celebrities’ fans. “Now that the hype has fermented enough, it’s about time. Get your contact to get to work now.”

Although Du Qing was prone to procrastination, she was very efficient in her work.

She’d spent some money on sorting out the chat records and editing last night’s video before sending to the major marketing accounts in one shot.

In less than ten minutes, the entertainment industry’s ‘Melon Eater’ marketing account posted a video.

Soon, the words “The truth behind Bai Yun beating someone”, “Ge Fei called her a slut and humiliated her”, and “Ge Fei deserved it” were pushed up in the trending ranking.

As for the video that was posted, it was the entire process that Bai Yun had secretly recorded last night. Moreover, the conversation between the two of them was very clearly recorded. The video only ended when Bai Yun was strangled and her clothes were about to be taken off by Ge Fei.

Ge Fei’s claim in the fan’s video that Bai Yun had taken the initiative to befriend him was also debunked by relevant WeChat chat records, on other marketing accounts and bloggers’ posts. The records were entirely contrary to what Ge Fei had said.

He was the one who took the initiative to add her as a friend and kept asking about her well-being. It was always Ge Fei who asked her out for a meal, while Bai Yun always rejected him. It was only when they gradually became familiar with each other on WeChat that the two of them went out for a meal a few times.

In addition to these, the posted chat records also included how Ge Fei taught Bai Yun how to piggyback on others’ hype, do influence-binding1, and diss others to look good. Bai Yun’s hesitation was evident in the chat records, which clearly showed how Ge Fei had changed from comforting Bai Yun to eventually coercing her to hand over her Weibo password.

After that period of time, Bai Yun no longer posted any new posts on Weibo. Instead, her profile page became filled with all that so-called accidental ‘likes’ of the diss posts and influence-binding.
