A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Song Yuqi gripped Chen Ye's phone tightly.

The on-screen comments disappeared.

Instead, it was replaced by a dense barrage of foul language.

"Nightclubs keeping young, attractive men as mistresses".

"Script Scandal in Film Crew".

"Using one's body to climb the social ladder".

The words were extremely jarring.

It also contains numerous accusations of plagiarism and ghostwriting against Chen Ye.

Song Yuqi felt her throat was dry.

This kind of barrage of comments with standardized language is something that individual fans could never do.

This is a disciplined, professional online army.

It’s over.

Those two words flashed through her mind.

Having reached the top, she's not afraid of any scandals.

She was afraid Chen Ye would see it.

The two finally broke the ice.

This screen is full of filth; once you get stuck, it's like a thorn you can't pull out.

The newly lit flames will be extinguished within minutes.

She turned to look at Chen Ye.

Chen Ye had his back to her.

He had one foot on the edge of the live water tank and was arguing with Lao Lin.

"Brother Lin, ten million in cash, not a penny less."

"If I pay in installments, I'll cut this fish into sashimi and feed it to the seagulls."

Old Lin chuckled and cursed as he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Xiao Li, immediately transfer ten million to this account!"

"If the money isn't in your account within five minutes, you don't need to come to work tomorrow!"

Chen Ye nodded in satisfaction.

This is the efficiency of a domineering CEO.

Sending money directly is more practical than any nonsense.

"All settled, money in account, fish ready to go."

Chen Ye waved his hand.

He was completely immersed in the joy of suddenly becoming rich.

Song Yuqi bit her lower lip.

She gripped the phone tighter and tighter.

The comments section was still scrolling wildly.

A monitoring shed in the corner of the dock.

"Bang!"

Wang Zhengyu slammed his fist on the folding table.

Half a cup of goji berry water spilled all over the floor.

The old fox, who usually wore a mocking smile, now had a livid face and his cheeks were taut.

"Director, the data is wrong!"

The assistant director pointed at the monitor, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded three million, but the emotional value of the comments is plummeting!"

"Someone is spamming the forum!"

Wang Zhengyu had seen it long ago.

He painstakingly organized the event, hoping that these two big shots would bring in viewership by offering sweet treats.

This is a super traffic event unique across the entire internet.

Now someone actually dares to come and cause trouble.

This is cutting off the financial lifeline of "Five Ha"!

"Bring those three people over here!"

Wang Zhengyu gritted his teeth and pointed at Deng Chao and the other two on the pier.

"Don't alert Chen Ye!"

The assistant director jogged around the crowd and whispered in Deng Chao's ear.

"What are you doing? We're just waiting to see a multi-million dollar deal."

Deng Chao looked displeased.

But when he caught sight of the assistant director's pale face, his heart skipped a beat.

He gave Chen He and Lu Han a look.

The three of them tacitly withdrew from the crowd.

They slipped silently into a blind spot of the surveillance cameras.

As soon as he entered the monitoring room, Deng Chao immediately put away his playful smile.

"Old Wang, did something go wrong with the live stream?"

Wang Zhengyu remained silent.

He threw the tablet displaying the bullet screen data onto the table.

See for yourself.

Deng Chao picked up the tablet.

Chen He and Lu Han moved closer.

Three seconds later.

The three of them stared intently at the screen.

The wrinkles on Deng Chao's face tightened instantly.

Lu Han's eyes turned cold.

Chen He immediately cursed, "Damn it! Who did this?"

They can play dumb and tease each other in front of the camera.

But offstage, none of those who climb to the top in the Chinese entertainment industry are easy to deal with.

The three of them could tell at a glance.

This is a well-organized online army.

It's obvious they're trying to ruin the guests' reputations and then conveniently condemn the production team to shame.

"Have you found the source?"

Deng Chao threw the tablet back onto the table, his voice very low.

He's known in the industry for being fiercely protective of his own.

Anyone who dares to throw dirty water on his brother in front of him is definitely asking for trouble.

Wang Zhengyu shook his head.

"The public relations department is tracing the IP address."

"Most of them are inactive accounts and botnets, with a few professional online troll companies involved."

"It's still unclear which company placed the order."

Chen He rolled his eyes.

The first episode of "Five Ha" achieved overwhelming popularity, far surpassing its competitors.

Chen Ye released a song and sold fish worth tens of millions, generating so much traffic that it made his competitors bleed.

Song Yuqi is at the center of the discussion.

"Old Wang."

Chen He looked up.

"Do you think... it might be that show?"

The cramped monitoring booth fell into dead silence.

Deng Chao and Lu Han understood as well.

The three of them instantly understood who Chen He was referring to.

Running Man.

This is Song Yuqi's permanent base after returning to China.

Once the logic is closed, the motivation becomes clear.

"Five Ha" is gaining too much momentum.

The neighbors will never stand by and watch this top-tier, lucrative opportunity shine here.

First, ruin the CP filter and tarnish their reputation.

Then, they could then use the contract terms to forcibly bring the person back.

That perfectly matches the way those people operate.

"Possibly."

Wang Zhengyu rubbed his temples.

"The methods are too similar, but I need solid evidence."

Deng Chao let out a cold laugh.

"What kind of solid evidence do you need?"

"Having worked at that station for so many years, do you think I don't know what kind of shit they're spouting?"

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"I had my team investigate the head of the online trolls."

"Trying to cause trouble? Do you really think we've been sitting idly by these past few years?"

Lu Han also took out her phone and sent a few WeChat messages.

With the backing of Beijing-based capital, investigating a few online trolls would be a piece of cake for him.

Chen He patted Wang Zhengyu on the shoulder.

"Keep the live stream going."

"Even if this pot of shit is poured out, Ono has to know."

"If you cut it off now, you'll seem guilty."

Wang Zhengyu nodded and looked at the three of them.

"You guys go get some fresh air over there, Ono."

"When this kid gets reckless, I'm afraid he'll start a fight right there in the live stream."

The three remained silent.

Chen Ye usually lies down and lets himself be mocked, saying whatever he wants.

But if you really cross the line, he'll flip the table faster than you can turn the pages of a book.

This time, what was stepped on was precisely his Achilles' heel.

"Let's find an opportunity."

Deng Chao sighed.

"Let's stabilize the situation first. I'll go check it out."

on the deck.

"Ding! Ten million yuan has been deposited into your bank account."

A mechanical female voice sounded from Chen Ye's pocket.

"All done."

Chen Ye patted the live water tank.

"Old Lin, the fish is yours. Just reserve a penthouse duplex for me in the future development, and I'll give you a 20% discount."

Old Lin's face was ruddy.

"Thank you for your kind words, brother! A 20% discount is nothing; I'll just throw in a deluxe set!"

The wealthy followed Lao Lin and fled in droves.

The dock was mostly empty.

Chen Ye stretched comfortably.

He turned around to greet Deng Chao and the others to move forward with the process.

He had just turned around.

He froze.

Deng Chao, Chen He, and Lu Han returned at some point.

The three people stood three meters away from him.

The stance was extremely rigid.

His usual carefree and smiling demeanor vanished completely.

Despite trying her best to cover it up.

But the awkwardness of suppressing anger was too strong.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow, put his hands in his pockets, and walked over.

"Old Wang announced that they're not providing boxed lunches anymore?"

Deng Chaoqian chuckled twice.

"No way, Lao Wang wants us to go over the procedures."

His tone was very steady.

But his eyes were wandering.

Chen Ye didn't respond.

He knows these three old foxes all too well.

For them to show such a tense, alarmed expression, something really serious must have happened.

He didn't press Deng Chao for answers.

His gaze swept past the three of them and landed on Song Yuqi, who had remained silent.

Song Yuqi was still standing in the same spot.

He gripped his work phone tightly in his hand.

His head was bowed very low.

His shoulders were trembling slightly.

The sea breeze blew by, ruffling the stray hairs by her ears.

Song Yuqi suddenly raised her head.

She tried to force a straightforward smile, just like she always did.

"Chen Ye, that fish..."

He had barely opened his mouth when Chen Ye stopped in his tracks.

Her eyes were red and swollen.

Even if she tries her best to appear domineering, the overflowing grievances she feels cannot be hidden.

No one around spoke.

The sound of waves crashing against the pier was exceptionally clear.

The nonchalant look on Chen Ye's face completely disappeared.

The curve of his lips gradually diminished.

Deng Chao inwardly cried out in alarm.

He was about to step forward and speak.

Chen Ye had already strode past him.

He snatched the phone from Song Yuqi's hand.
