This matter slowly made its way out to the world.

The next day, which was the fourth day after Thomson participated in the show, the video had already made it to the top of the N site’s trending search list.

The number of views had broken through the 10 million mark!

The reason why the video was so popular was because of the influence of a certain critic-slash-blogger!

In this digital age, many people took exposing lies or fake issues as a whole new industry, and what they did every day was very simple!

It was to analyze everyone or everything that seemed perfect. An example would be a beverage manufacturer that made a terrible-tasting drink, or a toothbrush which quality was not up to standard but could be sold overseas for half a year.

In this case, the bloggers would create a trend on the internet by attacking or criticizing these products.

However, with the emergence of entertainment shows, they began to shift their targets to well-known reality shows or singing shows.

They would freeload on the popularity and dissect the inside story of entertainment variety shows that no one knew. That was how they attract the attention of countless viewers and made money.

In fact, Thomson borrowing 100 million in front of countless viewers had caused a sensation. Yet despite it being a hot topic, the media did not pick it up. 

In the video, the blogger analyzed Thomson’s behaviors in the show in a simple but in-depth manner.

The blogger broke the show down into three segments!

The first segment focused on when everyone went on stage, and Thomson seemed a little overwhelmed. When he took out his phone, he even hesitated for a moment.

Here, the blogger smirked and directly concluded that Thomson was an actor.

Everything presented on the show was an illusion, and because he carried such a heavy psychological burden, he was overwhelmed.

Soon, the program team made a move.

To get him into character as soon as possible and adapt to the scene, they deliberately provoked his wife. This was so that his wife, who did not know the truth, would call her family to ask for money.

It was all as expected.

After his wife had done a series of things, Thomson was like a different person. He decisively picked up the phone and started calling.

His reaction was so drastic that something was obviously going on!

That was how the blogger saw it, and many people agreed!

After analyzing this segment, the blogger continued to the next segment!

With a flat tone and domineering attitude, Thomson asked the other party to send money to him!

It was not the behavior of a normal person at all! Who would borrow money in such an arrogant manner?

That part of the performance was unlogical, so it was obvious that the program team had arranged it!

However, they did not expect this actor to be a terrible one! His acting was stretched to the limit!

The last segment that was worth analyzing was when Thomson received 100 million on the spot, which was simply ridiculous!

They were clearly making fun of the viewers!

Besides, that was not the way to act! Which bank would let a transaction of more than eight figures slide past them without verification?

Moreover, after this phenomenon, the program team did not even bother to check if the transaction was real! Instead, they hurriedly announced the end of the show just after Thomson revealed that he was the richest person in the world.

Was this not a bad performance?

In the video, the blogger also showed the audience the footage he had edited.

In the footage, the host was panicking. He had one hand on his earphone as if he was listening to someone’s urgent instructions.

Those series of actions showed that Thomson was just a stand-in! He was just a tool to increase the show’s viewership.

At the end of the analysis, the blogger said earnestly, “Dear fans and friends!”

“In this digital era, where entertainment is dying, isn’t it sad to see the program team package a normal person as the ‘richest person’ in the world?”

“Very soon from now, we’ll know the truth!”

“And this so-called richest person in the world, Mr. Thomson, will become a laughing stock.”

“If he’s mentally strong, he’ll be able to withstand it!”

“But if he isn’t, then this will be a disaster for him!”

“No one will mention him again! He will become an entertainment product, and from now on, he will live with the ridiculous identity of the richest person in the world.”

“This Mr. Thomson is very pitiful! But if he’s pitiful, then there must be something hateful about him too!”

“Before I go, I want to say that you can treat him as a fool, but please don’t destroy this person!”

…

This speech and the previous analysis received the approval of countless viewers.

In an instant, Thomson became the most pitiful person on the internet!
