I, the number one master of metaphysics, have achieved legendary status in the entertainment industr

Ding Xingyou's home.

On the living room TV screen, Lu Fan's live broadcast room was being projected.

Ding Xingyou let out a long sigh of relief, a smile of relief spreading across his face. He looked at his father, Ding Jianguo, on the other side of the sofa with a hint of smugness: "Dad, see! What did I tell you? I didn't misjudge him, did I? Lu Fan can definitely do it."

"Naive." Ding Jianguo put down his teacup, interrupting his daughter. "Do you really think that Liu Xiong and Wang Huajian's elaborate scheme was simply dismissed with a few screenshots?"

Ding Xingyou's smile froze: "But the evidence is conclusive! Everyone saw it!"

"What's the use of seeing it?" Ding Jianguo shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the screen. "Xingyue can turn around and say the evidence is fabricated. This pool is deeper and much muddier than you think."

Ding Xingyou's heart jumped again as he looked at Lu Fan's calm yet upright figure on the screen, his fingers unconsciously clenching the hem of his clothes.

In Yu Tinglan's villa, Su Qin and she sat on the sofa, watching a huge projection screen.

Seeing Lu Fan present evidence to reverse public opinion, Su Qin clapped her hands excitedly: "Great! Little Fan was indeed prepared! Let's see how Xing Yue handles this!"

Sitting next to her, Yu Tinglan frowned slightly.

She looked at Liu Xiong's face on the screen and slowly said, "Don't be too happy yet."

Su Qin was taken aback: "Ting Lan, what's wrong? The evidence is so solid, isn't it enough?"

"Based on my understanding of Liu Xiong," Yu Tinglan said calmly, "they've been preparing for so long, they couldn't possibly be without a backup plan. Lu Fan has indeed overturned the table, but Liu Xiong probably has the ability to turn the table back on."

The joy on Su Qin's face faded, replaced by worry: "Then...then Xiao Fan..."

Yu Tinglan turned her head, looking at Su Qin's undisguised concern, and suddenly a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Sister Qin, you care about him so much? I remember you two weren't very close?"

Su Qin's cheeks flushed slightly at the question. Avoiding Yu Tinglan's gaze, she looked at Lu Fan on the screen. "You know, if it weren't for him, I would not only have suffered heavy losses, but I would also have lost credibility in front of those old guys. Besides, Lu Fan is... a good person. Good people should be rewarded."

Yu Tinglan gave Su Qin a deep look, then looked away and turned to the young man in the center of the screen, repeating softly, "Yes, good people should be rewarded. He will definitely be rewarded."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sudden change occurred on the screen!

Just as the room erupted in uproar, reporters pressed for answers, and Liu Xiong nearly collapsed, Wang Huajian gave Liu Xiong an extremely sharp look.

Liu Xiong suddenly jolted awake, grabbed the microphone, and shouted excitedly, "Forgeries! These are all forgeries by Lu Fan! It's a carefully crafted conspiracy to exonerate himself and smear the company!"

He pointed at Lu Fan, his finger trembling: "Don't be fooled by him! He's been plotting to betray the company for a long time! These so-called 'internal documents' were all fabricated by him, through bribery or coercion of former employees with weak wills!"

Gong Wei finally found his footing as the "host" and quickly replied, "Mr. Liu, are you saying that the source of this evidence is problematic?"

"Of course there's a problem!" Liu Xiong exclaimed, his voice rising several decibels as if grasping at a straw. "We have witnesses! They can prove how Lu Fan coerced and bribed us into fabricating this false evidence! Please welcome Li Gang, the former publicist of Xingyue Entertainment!"

Li Gang?

Lu Fan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the entrance.

Li Gang walked out with his head down, looking timid and hesitant.

He looked more haggard than when we last met, with sunken eyes and a slightly unsteady gait.

Li Gang dared not look at Lu Fan, nor at anyone else in the audience, and practically sidled up to the witness stand.

Liu Xiong's voice was inflammatory: "Li Gang, don't be afraid! In front of the entire audience, tell us exactly how Lu Fan threatened and forced you to cooperate in forging these fake chat logs and documents! The company will stand up for you!"

The camera was fixed on Li Gang.

Li Gang's body trembled violently. He raised his head and glanced quickly at Lu Fan, his eyes filled with fear, guilt, and a desperate plea.

Lu Fan looked at him calmly and said, "Li Gang, telling the truth is the only way to save yourself."

At those words, Li Gang's body trembled slightly.

Feng Qianqian looked up in surprise and stared blankly at Lu Fan.

thump!

To everyone's astonishment, Li Gang actually knelt down directly in front of Lu Fan!

"Mr. Lu! I beg you! Please let me go!" Li Gang cried, his voice filled with despair. "I was wrong! I shouldn't have been so blinded by greed and accepted your money to forge those false documents to frame the company!"

I've already been in there once, and I know I was wrong! I really can't make the same mistake twice! Xingyue... Xingyue has been so kind to me; I can't let the company down again!

Boom!

The scene and the live broadcast room exploded again!

The barrage of comments that were just criticizing Xingyue instantly reversed direction:

"??????"

"Holy crap! What's going on?!"

"He knelt down? Begged for mercy? And said Lu Fan forced him to fabricate evidence?"

"So all that irrefutable evidence... was fake??"

"Who the hell should I believe??"

"Lu Fan threatened a former employee to provide false testimony??"

"This plot twist was fucking fast!!"

"Are you kidding us??"

"I was just supporting him! He's scum!!"

The scene fell into a deathly silence, followed by an even greater uproar!

The reporters' cameras frantically switched between Li Gang kneeling and weeping, Lu Fan with a blank expression, and Liu Xiong, whose face was regaining color.

Suppressing his elation, Liu Xiongqiang said with deep remorse, "Everyone saw it! This is Lu Fan's true face! He'll stop at nothing to escape punishment! He'd even fabricate evidence and threaten former colleagues! His heart is utterly despicable!"

On Yu Tinglan's side.

"Bang!" Yu Tinglan slammed her hand on the table, her face ashen and her eyes burning with anger: "Li Gang! How dare he turn the tables on me! He was the one who approached Lu Fan first!"

Su Qin was also stunned, covering her mouth: "If the evidence Xiao Fan presents is proven to be fake, how can Xiao Fan turn the tables?"

Yu Tinglan quickly took out her phone and dialed a number. The call connected, and she said crisply and decisively, "Xiaoxiao, it's your turn. Do as we say, identify Liu Xiong, and I'll guarantee your safety."

In the live stream, Xiaoxiao, sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed up.

With her leg in a cast and her face pale, he looked at the camera and said angrily, "Sister Lan, even if you've done this to me, I can't lie to my conscience."

She took a deep breath, looked at Liu Xiong, and said timidly, "Mr. Liu, Lu Fan has long had an improper relationship with Ms. Yu Tinglan of Jiaxing Entertainment. The reason he is so bold is because Ms. Yu is backing him up."

President Yu promised him that if he brought down Xingyue, he would receive the best resources. They…they even pressured me to frame President Liu. When I refused, they…they did this to me.”

After Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she burst into tears.

Her words were like another bombshell!

Jiaxing Entertainment's Yu Tinglan! Inappropriate relationship! Backing her up!

The anger in the live stream reached its peak, but this time, it completely turned against Lu Fan:

"Holy shit!!!"

"Lu Fanyu Tinglan?? Unspoken rules??"

"So it was all Jaywalk's doing??"

"Damn it! We've all been used as pawns!!"

"Lu Fan, get out of the entertainment industry!!"

"Apologize! Apologize to Xingyue! Apologize to all the viewers!"

"Boycott Jiaxing! Boycott Lu Fan!"

"You two scoundrels! Go to hell!"
