I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 519 Someone questions you, and you want to throw dirty water on them?

[I was shocked when I saw this! I only knew Ye Xian sang well, I never imagined he was so wealthy? 10 billion in just one year! I couldn't earn that much in ten lifetimes! I suggest the Imperial Guards investigate this thoroughly!]

[You know what, now that Zhuge Bei has summarized it, I've realized it too. Ye Xian isn't like a normal person at all! What normal person has that kind of boundless energy? Ye Xian's resume is so impressive; any one of his achievements could launch a top star, and yet he's accomplished so much. I strongly suspect that Ye Xian definitely has a team behind him promoting him, and maybe those works were even ghostwritten!]

[As usual, Zhuge Bei rambled on with a bunch of nonsense, then asked a few questions that hinted at conspiracy theories. Do you dare to just say what you really think? Aren't you just trying to imply that Ye Xian is just a figurehead created by the royal family? Aren't you just trying to incite hatred towards Ye Xian? Let me tell you, I've had my suspicions for a long time!]

[I feel Zhuge Bei's words make a lot of sense. This has also been a question I've always had: is someone this amazing really a normal person? Even if he's a genius, he's still far inferior to Ye Xian! Throughout history, find me someone as incredible as Ye Xian!]

……

Zhuge Bei's consistent conspiracy theories and provocative tactics directly turned many people's goodwill towards Ye Xian into doubt.

Yes, are these staggering figures something an ordinary person could achieve in a year?

Never doubt the evil hidden in human nature.

When you're doing well, everyone wants you to do worse, not better.

Is Ye Xian an ordinary person?

The topic quickly became a trending topic, with many people discussing whether Ye Xian was just a tool created by the royal family.

The fans of the late-night snack group immediately launched a counterattack, but this is where the difficulty of dealing with KOLs lies. At this point, no matter how the late-night snack group fights back, they have already planted a seed of doubt in the minds of ordinary people.

It takes only a mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of legwork to refute them.

Ye Xian learned about this after filming ended that day, and upon seeing the other party's social media post, he couldn't help but laugh.

He picked up the phone and called the Sixth Princess: "Your Highness, could you please help me investigate this Zhuge Bei? I have a feeling that he is an enemy agent hiding among the people."

The Sixth Princess couldn't help but laugh: "Someone questions you, and you're going to throw dirty water on them?"

Ye Xian quickly denied it: "How could that be? I just felt that the tone of his voice was not something an ordinary person would say."

The Sixth Princess chuckled: "Wait five minutes, I'll send you all his information."

Ye Xian was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

The Sixth Princess, however, wasn't in a hurry to hang up: "With 1 million in pre-sale tickets, how much do you think the final box office will reach?"

Ye Xian countered with, "What does Your Highness predict the box office will be?"

The sixth princess snorted, "I'm asking you!"

"We need to break even, right?"

Ye Xian said confidently, "Some people are pessimistic about me, thinking I'll only make 5 million at the box office. I feel they're being too conservative. Believe me, breaking even is definitely not a problem!"

The sixth princess hung up the phone with satisfaction.

If Ye Xian says he'll break even, then the movie's box office will definitely be high, because this guy is always conservative in his words.

In less than 5 minutes, Ye Xian received a document.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Xian couldn't help but laugh.

Ye Xian quickly drafted a message and sent it to Ding Zhan, asking him and the legal department to review it.

Looking at the message Ye Xian sent, Ding Zhan couldn't help but complain, "You, the Sixth Prince Consort, are truly something else! You even managed to find out such confidential information!"

Ye Xian shrugged and stopped caring.

2 month 2 day.

Ye Xian, who had been silent on Weibo for a long time, suddenly posted a message.

"A kind person just sent me some photos. Could someone please explain what these photos mean?"

The accompanying photos were three images with their faces blurred, but many people recognized them immediately as photos of Zhuge Bei's family members' British resident ID cards.

The mosaic above was rather careless; only one character of each of the three names was covered, but it was enough for people to piece it together and recognize that they were Zhuge Bei's family members.

Zhuge Bei was criticized for having a property in the UK that he had been hiding from his fans, but he has always insisted that he is a good citizen who supports the Tang Dynasty, and many fans have chosen to believe his explanation.

Now that Ye Xian has brought out these three photos, it has caused a huge uproar. It should be noted that Zhuge Bei has tens of millions of fans on both Weibo and Kuaishou, making him a true KOL. Many people regard his articles and short videos as treasures and have always regarded him as a public intellectual with a conscience. He has also always promoted this persona.

Now that Ye Xian has exposed the other party's background, it's as if he has directly negated the other party's doubts about him from the source, and even directly overturned the other party's image.

Beat the snake to play seven inches!

This move, which cuts off the enemy's supply lines, is truly brilliant.

Zhuge Bei was being interviewed by a radio station when he heard the news. He rushed out of the recording studio to confront Ye Xian, but he walked too fast and got his head caught in the glass door of the recording studio.

The photographer who was following closely behind captured this moment.

The radio station manager immediately contacted an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. Meanwhile, the hashtags #ZhugeBei’sHeadIsCaught# and #ZhugeBei’sFamilyIsAmerican# both became the top two trending topics.

This fight came out of nowhere, and many people could see that Zhuge Bei was habitually trying to stir up trouble.

He had previously slandered Mr. Huayan for not loving the Tang Dynasty, but Mr. Huayan ignored him. However, he easily gained a huge amount of traffic and attracted a large number of people's attention.

This time, he probably thought that Ye Xian would treat his attempt to stage an accident in the same cold manner as before, since so many people had tried to stage accidents for Ye Xian before, and Ye Xian had ignored them all.

However, Zhuge Bei never dreamed that Ye Xian would be so ruthless. When he finished his treatment at the hospital and returned to his office, the incident had already become a hot topic on the entire internet.

Enraged, he vehemently denied the allegations while warning Ye Xian to delete the relevant information, claiming that Ye Xian had violated his family's privacy rights and spread rumors, and that he had already commissioned a lawyer to send a lawyer's letter to Ye Xian.

This time, Ye Xian replied with two words without any hesitation: "Looking forward to it".

These days, what good are lawyer's letters? They only scare ordinary people. If you really have nothing to hide, why don't you just go to the Imperial Guard?

The battle between the two has once again ignited the internet, and Ye Xian's "Hello Mr. Billionaire" has also seen a surge in popularity, with pre-orders quickly surpassing 1 million yuan and heading towards 2 million yuan.

Zhuge Bei, having failed miserably, was furious and lashed out on Weibo: "Some people are shameless when it comes to their own box office earnings. This blatant violation of the law is so brazen that no imperial guards dare to intervene because of his 'son-in-law' title... It's utterly disheartening!"

These remarks enraged the Imperial Guards!
