Jian Junyu found a good spot to park the car and also took out his phone to browse.
A chilling atmosphere spread within the car.
Soon, Jian Xiuhuan found the source of Jian Junruo's leaked information.
It was a Weibo post by someone whose account was a string of gibberish.
The person claimed to be a fan of Xiuhuan, and because they couldn't believe their brother would have a child out of wedlock, they investigated all the information about the woman.
Below, they posted a detailed introduction of Jian Junruo.
From the schools she attended from primary school to university, from growing up in a welfare home to renting her own place during university.
There was also her sudden disappearance in university and reappearance in Jiangcheng.
Among them, it was emphasized that Jian Junruo suddenly transferred to the capital in high school, not only attending the best high school in the capital but also not appearing as thrifty as she did in the welfare home.
Following this was Jian Junruo's information in Jiangcheng.
It was only a short line:
Lived alone with her daughter, no fixed job.
Attached were Jian Junruo's phone number and her address in Jiangcheng.
The information wasn't long, but it left everyone with endless room for imagination.
An orphan raised in a welfare home, why could she attend such good schools?
Why did she suddenly have money?
Living as a single mother and daughter in Jiangcheng, where did their livelihood come from?
Why was she now appearing at a high-end art exhibition in the capital, dressed so fashionably?
There were so many possibilities to fill in the blanks.
Not to mention that it also involved Xiuhuan, a top star in the country.
After this personal information about Jian Junruo was exposed, numerous marketing accounts, like sharks smelling blood, reposted it and added their own speculations.
Seeing the news from those marketing accounts, the most intense reaction came from Jian Xiuhuan's fans.
Compared to the public perception of Jian Junruo and her son at the beginning of the video, it was a complete reversal.
—They say she's a talented woman from Shencheng, but she didn't even finish university. Hilarious.
—As expected, don't speak lightly without understanding the situation. You never know how many twists and turns there will be later.
—What happened during those two years? Blogger, tell us more!
—Like mother, like daughter. A child who distorts facts and avoids important issues at such a young age will likely be a menace when she grows up.
—Feel sorry for the young lady who was driven away. What she said was right, yet she was criticized by those good netizens who believe anything they hear.
—This woman doesn't look like a good person at all. Xiuhuan must be completely controlled by her if they are together.
—Wuwuwu, she must have seduced him. Brother was so young years ago, how could he be a match for her? I'm going to find her and ask for clarification!
—Sister, calm down. I feel like something is not right.
—Xiuhuan fans, don't be impulsive. No matter what, this is brother's private matter. Let's not do anything illegal!
—Screw Xiuhuan fans. I wish I could go back two years and kick myself to death. How could I have stanned such a scumbag.
Jian Xiuhuan watched, gradually sensing something was wrong.
Why did he feel like the main target of this incident wasn't him?
"Brother Wang, do you think the mastermind is really targeting me?"
The agent had been waiting for his reaction and was puzzled by his question.
"Why do you ask that?"
"It's obvious, isn't it? Who else would they be targeting?"
"Regardless of who uploaded the initial video, there were definitely paid commenters guiding the conversation. Once the traffic increased, they turned around and deleted the video to suppress the trending topic."
The agent spat fiercely as he spoke.
"The person behind this is truly ruthless. Not only did they delete videos and suppress trending topics, but they also banned the accounts of those who were making the most noise."
"They definitely understand human nature and know that the more something is suppressed, the more suspicious it becomes. They took this step first, while also making us lower our guard."
The agent spoke with utmost seriousness.
"Xiuhuan, if we find out who did this, we really need to be careful of them. These methods are too vicious."
"Do you know that the explosion of this incident today didn't start on Weibo?"
"After the video was deleted yesterday, Weibo was very clean."
"It was only when we all went to rest last night, thinking nothing had happened, that various comments began to brew on Tieba, Zhihu, and other major forums."
"By the time netizens woke up this morning, this trending topic had quickly risen to the top, and they orchestrated a fake scenario where the trending topic was constantly being suppressed only to be pushed back up with high popularity."
"Damn it! I've been in the entertainment industry for so long, and I've never seen anyone this ruthless!"
The agent was truly enraged, almost smashing his desk when he received the news.
Jian Xiuhuan listened to him finish, his voice calm but containing a hint of danger.
"My aunt has just been bombarded with calls and messages."
The agent was a bit worried, thinking about how to comfort him.
Jian Xiuhuan continued speaking.
"I started suspecting it from the moment I saw it. Someone who plays these kinds of games, who wants to destroy someone completely, is probably not from the industry."
The agent hesitated, "Xiuhuan, what are you implying?"
Jian Xiuhuan said sternly, "I suspect someone wants to use my popularity to deal with my aunt."
The agent paused, "Does she have any enemies?"
Jian Junruo shook her head blankly, and Jian Xiuhuan fell silent.
It seemed that neither he nor Jian Junruo had any particular value that would make someone target them like this.
A brief exchange of voices came from the phone.
Soon, the agent's voice rang out again.
"Things are getting more complicated. We still haven't found out who leaked your aunt's information."
"We just discovered that someone is deliberately guiding the narrative, trying to shift the attention of your fans towards your aunt."
"You need to come to the company quickly. I've arranged a press conference for you, and you can start as soon as you arrive."
"Clarify your relationship as soon as possible and appease your fans."
"Many people in your fan group are already worked up. If they aren't appeased soon, they might impulsively do something foolish."
"Even if you clarify, you'll still be ruined."
"I really can't tell who the mastermind is targeting anymore. I can only say that this move is truly ruthless, and even if it's clarified in the end, the aftermath will be significant."
After speaking, the agent's anger gradually dissipated, leaving only a bitter smile.
Forcing himself to cheer up, the agent regained his calm and capable demeanor.
"Guessing won't help. You should post a Weibo clarification first. I have a lot of things to handle here, and we'll discuss the specifics when you come to the company."
After hanging up the phone, Jian Xiuhuan put his arm around Jian Sheng and leaned his head closer.
"Come on, Sheng Sheng, give me a smile."
Jian Xiuhuan held up his phone. The heads of the two, one big and one small, came together, finally captured on the phone.
However, neither of them in the photo managed to smile.
Jian Xiuhuan had a stern expression, his brow furrowed with a hint of ferocity.
Jian Sheng wrinkled his nose, his little face almost creased like a steamed bun.
Jian Xiuhuan looked at the photo for a while before finally giving up on the idea of taking another one.
He opened Weibo, typed out the post, attached the picture, and clicked send.
