Lu Zhihang almost immediately called Wang Wei.
Wang Wei was also in a complete mess at the moment. When he received Lu Zhihang's call, he started complaining again.
"Look at you. I've told you long ago not to cause trouble everywhere. It was the same before. I said we should control the situation, but you just let him post whatever he wanted. Now you remember to call me? It's too late, I'm telling you!"
Lu Zhihang covered his forehead and let out a long sigh. He interrupted Wang Wei and said, "Alright, alright. I'll have someone remove the hot search. Now, help me draft a statement saying that this was just an act of kindness, and ask people not to spread rumors."
Hearing this, Wang Wei wanted to say something else, but was strongly interrupted by Lu Zhihang: "Just reply with this. Don't worry about the matter regarding Zuo Yang for now. Let people on the Internet say whatever they want."
Lu Zhihang had perfect etiquette and upbringing since childhood. He generally wouldn't interrupt others, but once he did, it meant his words were final and no one could change his mind. Wang Wei, who had been with him for so long, of course knew this very well, so at this moment, he could only swallow back all the words on the tip of his tongue.
"Okay then. Handle this matter properly. Don't be so willful anymore. Your career has just started."
Lu Zhihang's expression was obscure. He replied vaguely and directly hung up the phone.
Not long after, Wang Wei's reply was sent to Lu Zhihang's phone. It was a drafted statement that only needed Lu Zhihang's confirmation before it could be sent out.
Lu Zhihang carefully read it, modified some language loopholes, and sent it back to Wang Wei.
Not long after, Lu Zhihang's official Weibo posted this statement.
However, the statement only made some relatively rational fans shut up. Other fans more firmly pointed their fingers at Lin Wan.
Lu Zhihang squinted his eyes, and a trace of impatience flashed in his eyes.
He took out his phone, found a familiar phone number, and made a call. The phone was quickly answered, and a brisk and teasing voice came out.
"Yo, San'er. Why are you willing to call me today?"
Lu Zhihang pursed his lips and said coldly, "Remove the hot search about me having a late - night tryst with my girlfriend, and find the media that first released this news."
The man on the other end of the phone was stunned: "What hot search? Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No, so I'm asking you to remove it."
"Yo, so angry? Are you going to pursue responsibility? Why are you being so serious this time?"
"Just remove it when I tell you to. Where did you get so many nonsense questions? Are you going to remove it or not?!" Lu Zhihang was impatient and his voice rose a few octaves.
The man on the other end immediately begged for mercy: "Don't, don't. I'll remove it. You..."
Lu Zhihang completely ignored the man's complaints on the phone and directly hung up.
Looking at the black computer screen, Lu Zhihang picked up his phone again, opened the Shenwu Chronicles APP, logged in to the account "Lin Shen Jian Lu", and hesitated before sending a message to Lin Wan.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Wan had just finished taking a shower and sat back on the bed. She was originally going to take out a book and read for a while, but then she heard her phone vibrate softly on the bedside table.
She picked it up and found that it was the qin player she had just met today.
Looking at the message he sent, Lin Wan raised her eyebrows curiously and replied inexplicably, "What?"
Lu Zhihang was stunned for a moment when he saw this message, and then carefully asked, "Did you see today's hot search?"
Seeing this message, Lin Wan was stunned for a moment. She flipped out her Weibo and saw the two hot searches. She felt even more confused: "I saw it. So what?"
"… Don't you have any feelings about it? Or haven't you encountered anything?"
Perhaps this sentence was too cautious. Lin Wan couldn't help but look at Ye Zi, and that familiar feeling rose again in her heart.
"What could I possibly encounter? I don't even know Lu Zhihang." Lin Wan said.
It was only at this moment that Lu Zhihang felt something was wrong. He flipped out the message again and also took a look at Weibo.
The hot search had already dropped, and the news was deleted when Lu Zhihang was halfway through reading it.
For the first time, Lu Zhihang gritted his teeth at someone's speed of action. Fortunately, he had already discovered the clue. It was all because his concern had made him confused. The video was obviously edited. Even though it was taken from a distance and Lin Wan's face was covered, it was obvious that the target was him, and Lin Wan was just an incidental one.
"Ah, I thought girls generally liked this Lu Zhihang." Facing Lin Wan's confusion, Lu Zhihang could only explain like this.
Seeing this, Lin Wan said very calmly, "I happen to be an exception."
Lu Zhihang: "…"
What could be more heartbreaking than hearing his future wife say that she didn't like him? Lu Zhihang felt that he could just die on the spot.
Just then, the phone beeped, and another message popped up from the notification bar.
Lu Zhihang had no choice but to say to Lin Wan, "I was disconnected just now. I didn't mean to ignore your message. Don't take it to heart."
Lin Wan raised her eyebrows, thinking of this person's sudden disconnection at night. The corner of her mouth twitched slightly: "It's okay."
"Let's play games together next time. I still have something to do now. You should go to bed early." Lu Zhihang said.
After Lin Wan simply replied, she turned off her phone.
She sat on the bed in a daze for a while. Feeling that she was not in the mood to read tonight, she had no choice but to lie down and go to sleep.
On the other side, Lu Zhihang was looking through the surveillance videos sent by someone.
These were the road surveillance videos of Lu Zhihang following Lin Wan all the way and some surveillance videos from surrounding shops.
"Alright, blur Lin Wan's face and then release it. Don't let people recognize her. Remember to clarify the situation as well." Lu Zhihang said to Wang Wei, who was on the phone with him.
Wang Wei responded and immediately took the video to process it. He casually asked, "What are you going to do about Zuo Yang?"
Lu Zhihang raised his eyebrows, used the mouse to zoom in on the screenshot of the video on the computer and looked at Lin Wan's face. After looking for a while, he smiled slightly: "Of course, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine. Is he worth me going through all the trouble to choose a special way to deal with him?"
"Zuo Yang is not a fool. If you do it exactly as he did, he definitely won't fall for it. Then how can you get back at him?" Wang Wei was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"Humph. Since he dared to release such news so early, does he think I won't find a chance to get back at him? You're overthinking. Who doesn't know about his little tricks?" Lu Zhihang sneered and gently pressed the mouse to turn off the computer.
After a pause, he stood up and stretched. He said casually into the phone, "The matter has become such a big deal, and it involves the male lead and the second male lead. No matter how much the TV drama needs popularity, they won't be in a hurry to continue filming. They must stop for at least half a day. Just bring lunch tomorrow noon. Don't come in the morning. I'm going to accompany my wife. I don't have time to deal with you."
Wang Wei: "…"
Why does he feel like he's been abandoned?
