Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

Her gaze swept quickly across the vicious title of the Weibo post, then fixed intently on the three photos—

Qin Luo comforted Xiao Ruoxi, carried Xiao Ruoxi on his back, and held Xiao Ruoxi as they entered the guesthouse! Although the photo angle was a bit tricky, she would never mistake it for Qin Luo!

Then, she started browsing the comments and shares below.

Looking at the vile insults, vicious curses, and so-called "righteous condemnation" directed at Xiao Ruoxi, and even the beginnings of a doxxing campaign... Mu Linshan's face grew colder and colder, as if covered with a layer of frost.

She ignored all the attacks targeting Xiao Ruoxi, but when she saw that the comments were also starting to speculate and insult Qin Luo, such as "mysterious sugar daddy," "keeping a gigolo," and "birds of a feather flock together," her anger erupted like a volcano!
"boom!"

She slammed her hand on the table, making the dishes rattle and clang!
Those cold, beautiful eyes were now burning with raging fury! Qin Luo was the man Mu Linshan had set her sights on, and moreover, the rightful heir of the Anbang Group! How could she allow these petty scoundrels to slander and trample upon him like this?!

"Red Sleeves!"

Mu Linshan stood up abruptly, her voice icy and piercing, carrying an unquestionable resolve.

"Assemble the team immediately! The most elite team! Get the vehicles ready, we're setting off right now, heading straight to Hengdian!"

She wanted to see which fool dared to defy her!

……

In Hengdian, a snack shop downstairs from the guesthouse where Xiao Ruoxi rented.

Xiao Ruoxi and Qin Luo were having breakfast in a corner.

However, Xiao Ruoxi ate as if chewing wax, finding no flavor in the food.

She always felt as if countless eyes were secretly watching her, and she could almost hear faint pointing and whispering behind her back.

"Look, isn't that her? The one on Weibo..."

"Yes, she seems so. She's even more beautiful in person than in photos. What a pity..."

"Tsk tsk, you can know a person's face but not their heart..."

These faint gazes and sounds felt like countless needles pricking her, making her feel restless and uncomfortable.

She put down her chopsticks several times, looked at Qin Luo across from her who was eating his buns slowly and calmly with a normal expression, and pleaded in a low voice, almost crying.

"Qin Luo...we...we should go back to Mindu, okay? I really can't stay here any longer..."

She felt that every minute and every second was torture.

Qin Luo swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, looked at her calmly, and shook his head.

"Leaving now is tantamount to admitting defeat and acquiescing to those slanders. The matter is not yet decided, so why back down?"

His composure seemed to possess a strange power, calming Xiao Ruoxi's anxious heart slightly, but the immense pressure and fear still lingered.

Breakfast ended with Xiao Ruoxi feeling worried and unable to enjoy her food.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance and dark circles under her eyes, Qin Luo knew that in her current state, it was impossible for her to record a good song.

"Forget it, judging from your condition, you won't be able to record well this morning either."

Qin Luo stood up.

"Let's go back upstairs and rest for a while, and then talk about it when we're ready."

Xiao Ruoxi nodded hurriedly, as if she had been granted a pardon.

The two returned to the cramped rented room.

As soon as she entered the room, Xiao Ruoxi couldn't wait to take out her phone again, her fingers trembling as she opened the Weibo app.

She desperately wanted to know just how far the trending topic had gone after a night of fermentation, and how bad the online public opinion had become... She was even mentally prepared to be condemned by the entire internet and to see her personal information being doxxed.

However, when she opened the trending topics list and carefully scanned it from top to bottom several times, she was stunned, her face filled with disbelief!
Missing? !

That trending topic defaming her, which was ranked in the teens and was still rising rapidly... has disappeared?!
She blinked hard, even wondering if there was a delay in her phone's browser or something wrong with her phone.

She exited the app, cleared the cache, and opened it again to refresh—the topic was still nowhere to be found on the trending list!

"What...what's going on?"

Xiao Ruoxi muttered to herself, her face full of confusion.

She snatched Qin Luo's phone and logged in with his Weibo account to check—the result was exactly the same!
That once-popular trending topic seems to have vanished into thin air, disappearing without a trace!
Not satisfied, she opened several other major portal websites and social media platforms and searched for related keywords—the results shocked her even more!
All links that reposted that false news article have either become invalid or displayed messages indicating that the content has been deleted! It's as if an invisible hand has completely erased this defamatory news article from the entire internet in a very short time!

So clean it was as if it had never existed!

Xiao Ruoxi's eyes widened, her fingers flying across the phone screen, her face filled with disbelief. The disappearance of the trending topic had already shocked her enough, but what she saw next was even more unbelievable!

She subconsciously searched for the celebrity accounts that had previously "spoke out" and led the criticism against her on trending Weibo posts—

Chen Tianfeng, Ma Hu, Cheng Yufan, Lan Baihe... Guan Xiaohong...

One after another, at least a dozen celebrities who had previously posted negative comments, including top-tier influencers like Chen Tianfeng and Guan Xiaohong, all had their Weibo account homepages now displaying the same message—

"This account is currently undergoing rectification due to violations of relevant laws and regulations!"
"This...how is this possible?!"

Xiao Ruoxi gasped, feeling as if her understanding had been completely overturned!
She'd been navigating the fringes of the entertainment industry for a while now and was well aware of its unspoken rules. Buying trending topics, removing trending topics, controlling online comments, and waging wars with online trolls... these were all common tactics.

But to directly ban celebrities' Weibo accounts? And on such a large scale and so quickly, banning more than a dozen popular celebrities, including top stars like Chen Tianfeng with powerful backgrounds?!

This is simply unheard of! How could Weibo make such an offensive decision so easily? And offend so many celebrities and the capital behind them at once?
What kind of pressure must there be to make the platform so decisive, even at a huge cost?
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Qin Luo with an extremely surprised, even scrutinizing, gaze, her voice slightly stuttering.

"Qin...Qin Luo, this...this is all your doing? How...how did you do it?!"

In her opinion, although Qin Luo is mysterious and powerful, the fact that he could make Weibo take such drastic action and ban so many celebrity accounts in an instant shows that his power is too terrifying.
Looking at her utterly shocked expression, Qin Luo helplessly shrugged, his tone tinged with innocence.

"I've been with you the whole time, and you've had my phone too. Have I contacted anyone?"

Xiao Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was indeed the case.

Since waking up this morning, Qin Luo has only received one phone call from Ni Ruolan, which was just a casual chat; he hasn't contacted anyone else.

Moreover, even if he made the contact, who has such great power to do all this in such a short time?
"Then...who could it be?"

Xiao Ruoxi frowned, deep in thought.

She has no powerful backers in the industry. The only senior she can be considered to have a relationship with is her mentor, Ni Ruolan. However, her mentor is just a highly respected old artist and should not have the power to "blacklist" platforms and celebrities.

She didn't dare to think about the unfathomable Elder Ni behind Ni Ruolan at all, because she had no idea of ​​Elder Ni's existence or his true strength.

Seeing her confused expression, Qin Luo understood.

He knew that this must have been Ni Ruolan, or rather, the old man behind her, Ni. With just a word from that old man, and with "Old Zhao" from the Internet Supervision Bureau personally overseeing the matter, they could easily handle anything, from removing a trending topic and banning a few celebrity accounts to even the biggest crises.

Ni Ruolan's phone call that morning, seemingly casual conversation, was actually a pretext to confirm their situation before swiftly taking action to cleanse them of the filth. Xiao Ruoxi, however, was completely unaware of this and therefore couldn't connect the dots.

If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore.

Qin Luo didn't point it out, but simply said it calmly.

"Perhaps, someone couldn't stand their lawlessness and wanted to help them?"

Although Xiao Ruoxi was full of doubts, the reality before her made it impossible for her to deny that the storm of public opinion that had almost swallowed her up had really vanished in an instant!
The huge rock weighing on her heart seemed to be suddenly lifted away by an invisible hand!

An indescribable ecstasy and hope, like bamboo shoots breaking through the soil, instantly dispelled all the gloom and despair!
"It's gone...it's really gone!"
All those insults directed at me, those trending topics, and those people's accounts... are gone!

Xiao Ruoxi jumped up excitedly, grabbed Qin Luo's arm, and her eyes reddened again, but this time it was because of extreme joy and excitement.

"Qin Luo! Can you see this? My path to stardom... my dream of becoming a star... there's still hope! I can continue!"

She seemed to have been revitalized, and her whole being became radiant.

Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction as he watched her instantly regain her vitality, even more so than before.

This is how she should be.

"It's good that you're back to your old form."

Qin Luo stood up and grabbed her wrist.

"Let's go, don't waste time."

"Ah? Where to go?"

Xiao Ruoxi had not yet fully recovered from the huge surprise.

"Of course, we're going to record songs!"

Qin Luo's tone left no room for argument.

"System... uh, I mean, our mission isn't finished yet, we need to hurry."

He almost let it slip, and quickly corrected himself.

He hadn't forgotten that damned system task that required him to complete the recording of "Ruo Qiu" as soon as possible.

……

Meanwhile, the internet was already in an uproar!

Countless onlookers and fans from various groups also discovered this bizarre and shocking scene.

“What the hell?!

Where did that trending topic about the obscure, unknown actress go? I was just looking at it!

"It's not just gone! It's disappeared from the entire internet! All related posts and news links are now inaccessible!"

"Quickly check Chen Tianfeng's Weibo! It shows he's in violation of regulations and is undergoing rectification?!"

"My God! Ma Hu, Cheng Yufan, Lan Baihe... and Goddess Guan!"

Their accounts are all identical! They've all violated regulations and have been rectified!

"What's going on?! A mass account ban?! This is a major earthquake in the entertainment industry?!"

"Who is it?! Who has such power?! To make trending topics disappear out of thin air, and to get Weibo to ban so many top-tier and A-list celebrity accounts at once?!"

"This is terrifying! Either it's a direct order from the relevant higher authorities, or... a powerful figure of unimaginable rank has intervened!"

"Just who exactly is Xiao Ruoxi?!"

"It's terrifying to think about! Those influential figures who were so eager to stir up trouble before have all become as quiet as chickens..."

Netizens are discussing it heatedly, with all sorts of speculations running rampant, but without exception, they all feel a chilling, invisible, and powerful force.

Chen Tianfeng's fans were in a panic, trying to find out more information, but they couldn't get any clear answers. They could only look at their idol's grayed-out profile picture, which showed "violation rectification," and feel anxious.

……

At the headquarters of Xinlang Weibo, there was a tense and busy atmosphere.

The director of Weibo's operations department had just been called away from his workstation by an urgent phone call and was now standing anxiously in CEO Huang's office.

Mr. Huang's face was grave as he pointed to the grayed-out list of celebrity accounts on the computer screen, his voice filled with suppressed anger and lingering fear.

"What on earth is going on?! Can anyone give me an explanation?! Why are so many celebrity accounts being banned at the same time?! And in such a severe way as 'rectification for violations'?! Do you know how much loss and negative impact this will bring to our platform?!"

The director wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his voice trembling.

"Mr. Huang... this... this isn't a technical operation on our part, nor is it a routine regulatory requirement... it's... it's an order personally given by Director Zhao from the Internet Supervision Bureau! It bypassed all our authority and was enforced!"
They only gave us one sentence…

"What?"

Mr. Huang felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

The director swallowed hard, lowered his voice, and spoke almost in a whisper.

"Director Zhao said... 'There are some clowns; don't touch those you shouldn't touch, and don't say those you shouldn't say.'"

This is a warning; if it happens again, you will face the consequences.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Huang's body jolted violently, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

He slumped into his boss's chair, speechless for a long time.

Director Zhao of the Internet Supervision Bureau personally gave the order... to deal with this clown... someone who shouldn't be touched...

He instantly understood that Chen Tianfeng and his gang had kicked a rock that they could not even imagine and absolutely could not afford to provoke!
The energy of that iron plate was enough to wipe out everything they had painstakingly built up in the blink of an eye!

"Notify them..."

Mr. Huang's voice was hoarse and weak.

"All departments, strictly cooperate with the Internet Supervision Bureau's requirements! Any internal discussion or leaks regarding this matter are strictly prohibited! Also... prepare a crisis public relations plan, because this time... we're likely to offend quite a few people."

Looking at General Manager Huang's grave expression, the operations director was still filled with confusion and a hint of resentment. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath. (End of Chapter)
