Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

The complete, silent surveillance video has calmed many netizens down.

[This... is completely different from the previous edited version. It was clearly those three women who blocked people first.]

So Su Wuli acted in self-defense?

Even if it was self-defense, this was way too brutal! A direct slash to the face?

[The person upstairs is a saint? Even after all this, you're still considering how much force to use?]

The opinions in the comments section began to diverge.

Just as Lin Liwen had predicted, because the video had no sound, many people speculated that Su Wuli might have verbally provoked her.

[It's so strange that they resorted to violence at the class reunion; there must have been something fishy about what they said.]

[Yeah, this kind of aggressive chat can't be normal.]

However, Su Wuli's actions were indeed in self-defense.

But the debate over excessive defensiveness remains intense.

Just as things were about to reach a fever pitch, the studio's Weibo account updated again, this time with a link to an audio file.

Amidst the noisy background, Zhou Ruoying and her companions' voices were crystal clear, filled with undisguised malice and insult.

[I listened to the recording three times. Were those three women even speaking human language?]

So Su Wuli was cornered, verbally abused, and physically assaulted before she retaliated?

Those two are just delinquents who falsely accused Su Wuli first, and they even edited a video to try and ruin her.

[Where are those marketing accounts that were so vocal in their criticism? Why are they silent now? Deleting their posts and playing dead?]

[My heart aches for them. They must have gotten used to being bullied to start recording all the time...]

Lin Liwen called soon after.

"Everything's been resolved, so don't stay up any longer. Get some rest; you have filming tomorrow."

"Mmm," Su Wuli responded, though she wasn't sleepy at all.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, then someone suddenly asked, "Afraid to sleep?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, Lin Liwen spoke again.

"Don't worry, I've had someone contact the master again these past two days—"

"No," Su Wuli interrupted.

"Hmm?" Lin Liwen asked, puzzled, then tentatively pressed, "You mean the ghost is gone?"

"I really can't sleep," Su Wuli explained. "So many things happened today..."

Lin Liwen sighed, "I won't go to any more of these class reunions. I get so angry listening to what they say."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was stunned; she really didn't want to go either.

But his fear of them was ingrained in his bones, and he dared not resist despite his reluctance.

They did try to resist, but what they got in return was isolation and helplessness, and even more severe bullying.

At 2 a.m., the situation escalated, and some netizens began to feel that something was wrong.

[Didn't anyone realize? Su Wuli was probably bullied for a long time during her school years.]

[It's true, you could tell from what those people were saying.]

[I burst into tears. My precious child, whom I cherish so dearly, has actually experienced bullying.]

[The bully comes out to accuse the victim and distorts the truth; even a simple stroke of the pen would be too lenient.]

I'm about to cry. Even as a celebrity, I'm being bullied at my class reunion.

No wonder I always felt there was something broken about Su Wuli; she really had been broken, but she had secretly glued herself back together...

[Fans got stabbed...]

Public opinion reversed completely at an astonishing speed.

Several marketing accounts that were previously most active have quietly deleted their video posts on Weibo.

Su Wuli's Weibo follower count has started to rebound, even increasing slightly compared to before.

Because of severe sleep deprivation, I didn't feel sleepy until almost dawn.

However, she was woken up by the phone ringing before she was fully awake in the morning.

Half-asleep, I picked up my phone and answered. Lin Liwen's voice came from the other end, "Wuli..."

"Hmm?" Su Wuli responded in a muffled voice, but no words were heard for a long time.

She glanced at her phone with some confusion, confirming that she was on a call.

Then, tentatively, she called out, "Sister Wen?"

After a moment, the other end spoke, "Were you...bullied before?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wuli's remaining sleepiness vanished, and she opened her eyes in astonishment.

"How...how did you know?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end, followed by Lin Liwen's heartbroken voice.

"I felt something was off when I listened to that recording yesterday..."

Su Wuli paused, then suddenly realized that this wasn't so difficult for her to say. "You guessed it?"

"No," Lin Liwen said. "After we dealt with that matter yesterday, an anonymous netizen posted a message this morning that was probably about you."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was stunned.

She couldn't hear anything Lin Liwen was saying on the other end of the phone.

"You can go and take a look..." Lin Liwen paused as she spoke.

Then he added, "If you don't want to watch, then don't. I don't think you have any malicious intent."

Su Wuli pondered for a moment and then replied softly, "Yes, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, she made her decision after only a few seconds of consideration.

The anonymous long post was originally published on a small forum, but it was quickly reposted on Weibo.

About some old stories from many years ago

The article did not name her by name, but referred to her by letters.

Su Wuli checked the time and place and they matched.

Moreover, regarding what happened last night, netizens knew it was Su Wuli almost without anyone's prompting.

The author of the article claimed to be a student from back then, and said that seeing the recent news brought back many old memories.

[At first, they weren't bullying S, but another girl named Liu. Many people knew this, but no one dared to intervene. Zhou's family had some influence, so no one dared to offend them, including me.]

[S accidentally stumbled upon them bullying Xiao Liu and helped call the teacher. The bullies were scared away, and I thought that was the end of it, but I was wrong.]

After that, Zhou and the others shifted their attention from Xiao Liu to S. S became increasingly silent, almost never speaking to anyone.

What about Xiao Liu, the one who was initially bullied? She's safe now. Zhou and the others haven't bothered her again, and Xiao Liu even seems relieved.

[Once, I overheard Xiao Liu talking to another girl in a toilet stall. The girl asked her, "Zhou is always causing trouble for S, aren't you afraid?"]

[Xiao Liu was silent for a long time, then said very softly that she was a little scared, but thankfully S was there.]

The girl didn't understand and asked Xiao Liu what he meant. Xiao Liu said it was good that S was there to take her place, but Xiao Liu had never considered helping S.

After graduation, no one brought it up again until what happened last night. I never imagined that after all these years, S would still be bullied when we met again.

I'm not writing this to blame anyone, nor to excuse my cowardice back then. I simply believe that the truth shouldn't remain silent forever.

As Su Wuli read the incredibly detailed and lengthy article, her hand holding the phone grew icy cold.
