Chapter 181: Chapter 141: It’s Not Too Late to Regret Now

This has gone too far!

Xu Cheng had always been hot-tempered. Seeing this, he flew into a rage, kicked the table, and jumped to his feet.

"Fuck, what bastard did this? This is so despicable!"

Yan Xici was squatting on the floor, charging her phone and carefully reviewing the video they had just filmed. She jumped in fright at Xu Cheng’s sudden outburst.

She scrambled to her feet, her moist eyes looking innocently at the three men before her.

"Wh-what’s wrong?"

’Weren’t we all just talking and laughing a moment ago? How could their expressions change so drastically in just a few minutes?’

Especially Xiao Ran. His chiseled face wore an expression of rare seriousness.

Xiao Ran forced a smile. "It’s nothing, just a small problem."

’It’s just haters. Getting flamed by haters is what I’ve dealt with most in my life!’

’I can handle this myself.’

Seeing how nonchalantly Xiao Ran was taking it, Xu Cheng grew even more displeased.

"What do you mean, a small problem? Who do you think did this? Aren’t they obviously trying to smear you? They even mentioned where you work. What are they trying to do? Get you doxxed?"

’This is so fucking vicious!’

Zhang Chuan opened the blogger’s profile again for a closer look and was surprised to find a business contact on the main page.

He said in surprise, "I see this blogger has some kind of business WeChat. I’m adding her right now to give her a piece of my mind! What right does she have to say this about you? Who put her up to this?!"

’No matter what, I have to drag this culprit out into the open today!’

Xu Cheng nodded repeatedly. "Yeah, that’s right! Contact that bastard now and ask them what the hell they think they’re doing!"

People these days are just despicable. They’ll say anything to grab attention.

The worst part is how they exaggerate and twist things, turning white into black!

’He refused to believe there was no law and order left in this world!’

The three men went back and forth. Although Yan Xici still didn’t understand what had happened, she had a gut feeling that something major was wrong!

She hurried over to Zhang Chuan. "Brother, what on earth is going on?"

’I’m dying of anxiety.’

With a grave expression, Zhang Chuan handed the phone to Yan Xici so she could see for herself.

The young woman clutched the phone nervously. On the screen, a girl with exquisite makeup was speaking eloquently, as if just chatting casually.

Yan Xici felt a chill run down her spine.

Her nerves tensed uncontrollably.

’Isn’t... isn’t this about me and Brother Xiao Ran?’

’They’re twisting the truth! Now the netizens will definitely think Brother Xiao Ran is an ungrateful, manipulative schemer!’

She felt an unbearable tightness in her chest, as if a heavy stone was sitting there.

Probably due to nervousness, a fine layer of sweat beaded on her temples and the sides of her nose.

Even her cheeks flushed slightly red.

It was no exaggeration to say that even her palms were slick with sweat.

’Why would something like this happen?!’

"Who do you think did this?" Zhang Chuan sat on the bed, looking seriously at the young woman standing opposite him. "Or have the two of you angered someone recently?"

This influencer has been around for several years.

I’ve seen her videos plenty of times, and her likes and comments are always solid.

If you wanted to hire her for an exposé, it would cost at least eighty thousand to start!

And they didn’t just hire one blogger. Xu Cheng saw another one. Between the two of them, that has to be close to two hundred thousand.

Someone willing to spend that much money just to slander a person can’t be just anybody.

The young woman clenched her small hands, looking at Xiao Ran with a troubled expression. Her intuition told her that her older sister might have done it.

Because of that phone call last night, she had been truly furious!

She had never made her sister that angry before.

Besides, this was her sister’s line of work. With so many influencers at her beck and call, finding a few to do this would be as easy as lifting a finger.

She just couldn’t quite believe it. What was her sister’s motive?

’Wasn’t she afraid of people finding out? Wouldn’t this just make more people aware?’

She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with helplessness and guilt!

’I was the one who initiated our relationship. It had nothing to do with Brother Xiao Ran. How can he face anyone after being slandered like this?!’

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. She sniffled and made up her mind.

’No matter what, I should call my sister first to confirm.’

She was the only person she could think of who might do something like this.

After all, there were two bloggers involved, and they weren’t small-time influencers. They were bloggers with a substantial number of followers. To hire them, you’d need some real clout.

At least, financially.

With that thought, Yan Xici quickly walked over to her phone, which was still charging on the floor. She picked it up, stood, and dialed her sister’s number.

Yan Li was in the middle of a business discussion with two of her vice presidents. When she saw the call was from Yan Xici, Yan Li chose to ignore it.

She switched her phone to silent and tossed it casually onto the table.

’After all, making money is what’s truly important.’

She glanced at the project analysis sheet in her hand, then looked at the VP across from her with a serious expression. "In the long run, the best platform is Ai Qi. After all, Ai Qi’s promotional capabilities are quite strong. I don’t need to elaborate on that, do I?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man across from her nodded hurriedly.

"But Ai Qi doesn’t seem very interested in our drama. They said the results might not be great, and I really don’t know what else to do..."

Yan Li crossed her arms, her gaze pressuring the man. "Then why do you think I hired you as a vice president?"
