Looking at Lu Fan's calm face, Liu Xiong felt a twisted sense of pleasure welling up inside him.

Yu Tinglan, do you know how happy I was when I heard you were involved?

You all think I'm targeting Lu Fan.

snort!

Even a minor celebrity who isn't even a third-tier star is worth my time!

The person I really want to deal with is you.

This time, with Lu Fan's help, even if I don't crush you, I'll make Jiaxing infamous.

Liu Xiong felt an overwhelming sense of pleasure and almost burst out laughing.

However, it wasn't him who laughed out loud, but Wang Huajian, who leaned back in his chair, looking smug.

"The truth is out." Wang Huajian said with a mocking smile, "Lu Fan, you have only yourself to blame for what you've done. The entertainment industry needs artists with both virtue and talent, not people like you who have ulterior motives and use despicable methods."

Today's public briefing, while distressing, has set a precedent for the industry—mistakes must have consequences.

Looking at Wang Huajian, Lu Fan saw not only the weariness on his face, but also the impending doom he was facing.

Lu Fan's gaze passed over Wang Huajian and continued searching the audience seats.

At Ding Xingyou's house, Ding Jianguo looked at his daughter and said, "See? One person against a company, plus the family behind Wang Huajian, what does he have to fight with? A few screenshots that are now accused of being fake? He's lost. He can't recover this time."

Ding Xingyou clenched his fist: "But Lu Fan clearly didn't do such a thing, why can't we give him justice?"

"Fairness!" Ding Jianguo stood up. "Would an elephant speak of fairness to an ant? Fairness is about elephants speaking to elephants and ants speaking to ants, do you understand?"

Ding Xingyou bit his cheek and remained silent.

In Yu Tinglan's villa, Su Qin stood up anxiously: "How could this happen! That Xiaoxiao has turned against us too!"

Yu Tinglan didn't speak, but stared intently at the screen, her fingers digging into her palms: "All the witnesses have turned against him, Lu Fan... he lost."

Su Qin and Yu Tinglan sat quietly on the sofa, their faces somber, without uttering a word.

In another villa, Jiang Ying watched the live stream and sneered, "This Lu Fan is still so calm at this point; he's probably up to some dirty trick!"

On the scene, Lu Fan's expression shifted slightly. He felt that the cold and sticky sensation suddenly intensified, as if something invisible was being forcibly drawn from his body and flowing towards Wang Huajian below the stage.

Luck!

Lu Fan's mind focused!

Someone is draining Wang Huajian's luck.

Lu Fan's gaze sharpened, and following his intuition, he instantly locked onto a lean man in his forties wearing a gray Chinese-style jacket in the audience.

The man was also looking at him, his eyes flashing with a cold mockery.

"Could this person be Yun Xuzi?"

Lu Fan thought to himself.

He calmly took out a thumb-sized, dark-colored wooden plaque from his pocket and gently placed it on the table.

The wooden plaque was carved from that piece of dark wood. It had repeated runes on it. He raised his right index finger and gently touched the plaque.

hum!

Two beams of black energy, invisible to ordinary people, suddenly shot out from the wooden sign. One beam rushed straight at the lean man below the stage, while the other beam shot towards Wang Huajian, who was still talking eloquently!

The lean man's expression changed drastically, and he rapidly formed hand seals in front of him, instantly creating a pale white wall of energy.

At the same time, Wang Huajian, his face flushed, spoke sternly: "Lu Fan, you will pay the price, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "poof," and slid off the chair, collapsing to the ground!

"Young Master Wang!"

"What's going on?!"

Chaos erupted instantly! Exclamations filled the air.

The pale white barrier in front of the lean man only held for a moment before being pierced by the black energy.

He groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared at Lu Fan on the stage in utter horror, no longer daring to linger. He abruptly stood up and staggered but quickly squeezed towards the side door of the studio.

"Yun Xuzi!" Lu Fan's cold voice resounded throughout the venue through the microphone.

Yun Xuzi paused, then turned and said without turning around, "Kid, don't be so smug, I'll be back!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already disappeared outside the side door.

A deathly silence fell over both the stage and the audience, which was then followed by even greater chaos.

Some people helped the unconscious Wang Huajian, some shouted for an ambulance, and reporters frantically took pictures, completely unaware of what was happening.

The live stream chat was flooded with countless question marks:

"??????"

"Wang Huajian vomited blood??"

Who is Yun Xuzi?

"What are they saying?"

"What just happened??"

Lu Fan ignored the chaos around him. His gaze slowly swept over Feng Qianqian and Li Gang, who were pale-faced on the stage, and Xiao Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair and looked ashen-faced.

"What do you think," Lu Fan began, his voice not loud, but clearly silencing the clamor, "am I more capable, or is he more capable?"

Feng Qianqian trembled all over, meeting Lu Fan's deep and calm gaze, and her last shred of hope was completely shattered.

She abruptly turned to the camera, her voice trembling with tears and determination: "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! It was Liu Xiong! It was Wang Huajian who forced me! They controlled my son, they put a curse on him! Yun Xuzi... yes, that's the guy from just now! He did it all! If I didn't do what they said, my son wouldn't survive!"

Li Gang also broke down, collapsing to the ground and wailing, "I was forced into it! Liu Xiong threatened me with my father! Those screenshots... those screenshots are real! Liu Xiong told me to say those things just now!"

Xiao Xiao cried so hard she couldn't breathe: "Sister Lan, I'm so sorry. Yun Xuzi put a curse on me, saying that if I disobeyed, he would make me wish I were dead, and that he would help me deal with the powerful figure behind your back. Sister Lan, Yun Xuzi is really terrifying, he can even..."

Just then, the live stream screen went black.

"The live stream has been interrupted due to suspected violation of regulations," these words appeared in a large font in the live stream with millions of viewers, stunning everyone and prompting them to erupt in curses.

"Why did it suddenly stop? It was so exciting!"

"At the last moment, all the witnesses were reversed again. What was the final outcome?"

"Don't you guys think what happened next was very strange? No wonder it was banned."

Although the live stream was interrupted, it was enough.

The truth has been completely overturned in front of millions of viewers.

Within minutes, hashtags such as #XingyueFramesArtist#, #WangHuajianCoughsBloodAndFallsInCollapse#, #YunXuzi#, and #LuFanWronged# appeared rapidly, attracting a frenzy of discussion among the public with astonishing popularity.

Lu Fan did not linger at the scene, but quickly left under the escort of Yu Tinglan's bodyguards.

On the bus, Lu Fan posted a simple status update using his newly registered personal account: "The innocent will clear themselves. Thank you for everyone who believed and waited."

The accompanying picture is of a clear sky after a period of sunshine.

This post garnered over a million shares and comments within ten minutes, and the number of followers skyrocketed: 500,000, 1 million, 3 million...

Ultimately, it easily surpassed the ten million mark and is still growing rapidly.

What Lu Fan didn't know was that a trap was waiting for him.
