Yuan Meng in the car put on her headphones and closed her eyes to rest. She ignored the reporters outside the car and silently waited for reinforcements.
"Excuse me, make way, please." Several cars stopped outside the reporters' encirclement. A group of bodyguards, all over 1.8 meters tall, got out of the cars. The reporters were so scared that they quickly made way.
Leading the bodyguards was the assistant beside Ling Qianchen. He strode up to Yuan Meng's car door and knocked on the window.
Hearing the noise, Yuan Meng knew that the reinforcements had arrived. So she unplugged her headphones, opened her eyes, and rolled down the window.
"Madam, Mr. Ling sent me to pick you up." The assistant said politely. It turned out that Yuan Meng had just sent a distress text message to Ling Qianchen.
Actually, even if she didn't ask for help, Yuan Meng would surely have a way to escape from the reporters' encirclement. However, since there was a free helper, why not make use of it? Moreover, if she tried to escape on her own, there would be a risk of exposing her identity.
"Madam, I'll have a car drive in front later. Your car will be in the middle, and we'll escort you out." The assistant told Yuan Meng his plan.
"Thank you. It's so lucky... you came to save me..." Yuan Meng knew that this was Ling Qianchen's assistant, so she tried her best to play the innocent and timid girl persona well.
The assistant bowed respectfully to Yuan Meng and then walked back to the bodyguards to prepare to escort Yuan Meng out. According to the assistant's plan, Yuan Meng managed to escape from the reporters' encirclement smoothly.
The assistant and the bodyguards escorted Yuan Meng home safely and then left. Since she couldn't go out, Yuan Meng simply stayed at home and read the script.
Dinglingling, dinglingling... The phone rang. Yuan Meng casually answered it.
"Mengmeng, have you offended Ye Wanning recently? You know, the Ye family's daughter!"
"She's just one of Ling Qianchen's admirers... We happened to compete for a role during the audition the other day. How do you know I have a conflict with her?" Yuan Meng didn't take Ye Wanning seriously. But since Luo Yishan called specifically to mention it, there must be something wrong.
"Just now, a reporter friend I'm quite familiar with called me and said that it was Ye Wanning who spread your negative news online! Why doesn't Ye Wanning just be a good actress? Why does she have to provoke you!"
"Hey, Luo Yishan, am I some kind of dinosaur? Is it so scary to provoke me?" Luo Yishan could tell from Yuan Meng's tone that she didn't care about this, so the two of them started to bicker.
"No way, Mengmeng! My Mengmeng is an innocent little white rabbit! I'm just praising you for being powerful and not easy to mess with!" Luo Yishan explained while suppressing her laughter.
"Humph, you'd better think so."
"By the way, Mengmeng, do you need me to suppress the hot search and warn Ye Wanning?" After teasing Yuan Meng, Luo Yishan didn't forget the main thing. She called partly to tell Yuan Meng who the mastermind was and partly to discuss a plan with her.
"No need, Shan Shan. I have to take my own revenge for this. It'll be more satisfying. I'll hang up. Wait for my good news."
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Meng turned on her computer. As a top - level hacker, as long as she wanted, Ye Wanning would have no privacy in front of her.
Yuan Meng hacked into Ye Wanning's phone and computer, and investigated her agent, assistant, and her network. Sure enough, she found a large amount of evidence that Ye Wanning got the leading female role in the drama and the Best Actress award through improper channels.
"Sure enough. With her level, how could she be a Best Actress?"
Then Yuan Meng applied for a new account on the social platform, changed the IP address, and posted all the evidence on the social platform.
Under Yuan Meng's deliberate manipulation, within half an hour, the post with a large amount of evidence was on top of the hot search list. The comment section was in an uproar.
[This Ye Wanning should be the young Best Actress who has been hyped up recently. Tsk tsk tsk. She really didn't do any good deeds. I'm turning from a fan to a hater.]
[I used to like her so much. I can't believe she's so fake. I'm unfollowing!]
[Wasn't there news this morning that a young actress named Yuan Meng snatched Ye Wanning's role? Thinking about this post, maybe Ye Wanning didn't spend enough money, haha.]
[Poor Miss Yuan Meng. She won the role with her strength, but some people still blacken her and say she bought the role. I wonder who spent more money.]
The evidence was conclusive. Even Ye Wanning's fans couldn't believe in her anymore. So they all turned from fans to haters and started scolding in the comment section.
On the outskirts of the city
In a villa, there were continuous screams from a woman and the sound of things being smashed. "Why, why are they all scolding me! That woman is so useless. She doesn't deserve it. She doesn't deserve it!"
The crazy woman in the villa was Ye Wanning. She kept smashing things in the villa to vent her anger. Her agent and assistant were standing beside her, too scared to say a word.
"Still haven't found out the source of that post!" Ye Wanning suddenly turned around and looked at her trembling agent and assistant, glaring at them fiercely.
"Sis... Sis Ning, just now the technician replied that... the person who posted it is quite powerful. We... we can't find the IP address at all. But... but we've already suppressed all the relevant posts as soon as possible." The assistant lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ye Wanning, for fear that she would be the next one to be smashed at.
After hearing this, Ye Wanning suddenly lost her strength and slowly slid to the ground. She cried loudly with empty eyes.
This role - competition finally ended with Yuan Meng's complete victory. Yuan Meng didn't expect her post to last long, but she thought that all the warnings should be given.
Estimating that the time was about right, Yuan Meng hacked into Ye Wanning's computer again and left a message for her: If you want to stay famous, stop doing those shady things.
At the same time, the technician who was manipulating Ye Wanning's computer took a photo of the message Yuan Meng left and sent it to Ye Wanning. This message also made Ye Wanning realize that there was always someone better. So she had to behave herself for a while.
When Yuan Meng finished everything, it was already dark. Because of the negative news, Ling Qianchen came home for the first time in a long time.
"Hubby! Hubby, you're back..." Yuan Meng was just about to take a break when she saw Ling Qianchen coming home. She had a sudden idea and wanted to annoy Ling Qianchen. After all, this whole mess started because of Ling Qianchen's admirers.
"Hubby, have you eaten? I... I'll cook something delicious for you!" Yuan Meng's tone was aggrieved but she tried to stay calm. She forced a smile at Ling Qianchen.
"What's wrong with you? Your smile looks so ugly." The scumbag Ling Qianchen started to mock Yuan Meng on purpose again.
"Hubby, wuwuwuwu. I... I'm so scared. That woman deliberately blackened me. I... I didn't provoke her at all, wuwuwuwuwu. She even framed me for having a sugar daddy. But, but I only have you..." Yuan Meng cried while looking at Ling Qianchen with her red, rabbit - like eyes. She looked so pitiful.
"Got it. That woman also got her own negative news. Stop crying. It's so annoying." Ling Qianchen said impatiently and then turned around and went upstairs to the study.
