Chapter 9

Not long after Lu Zhen returned to the ward, she fell asleep.

She dreamed that the day she was injected with drugs. Like a wandering soul. She floated in midair and watched her every move as a spectator.

She couldn’t see the person who had injected her with drugs.

Looking in the mirror, Lu Zhen saw her pale and dispirited face. In her dream, she saw not only her face but also the gorgeous jewelry on her body and the paranoia in her eyes. As a wandering soul, she couldn’t believe it.

The scene changed. In the dream, Lu Zhen’s body trembled as she rushed out of the dressing room and ran to the washroom cubicle to take drugs. She didn’t look gorgeous at all.

Soon, curses filled the air.

[Lu Zhen? To think that I liked her so much back then. I was really blind.]

[Drinking and gambling, evading taxes and taking drugs. She’s not that old, but she’s committed all kinds of sins!]

[It’s such a shame to like such a celebrity.]

…

[This kind of person shouldn’t be alive!]

Cold sweat broke out on Lu Zhen’s forehead. She suddenly woke up and met Sun Xiao’s worried gaze.

For a moment, Lu Zhen couldn’t tell if it was in a dream or reality.

“Sister Zhenzhen? Sister Zhenzhen, are you awake?”

Lu Zhen exhaled and nodded.

Sun Xiao also heaved a sigh of relief. “Sister Zhenzhen, I called you a few times just now, but you didn’t respond. You were mumbling something with a forehead full of cold sweat. I almost called the doctor.”

“I’m fine.”

Lu Zhen slept the entire afternoon. At this moment, night had already fallen. In the dark room, only the small night light in front of the ward bed was lit up.

When Lu Zhen was completely awake and her eyes adapted to the light, Sun Xiao turned on the light and placed the porridge in front of Lu Zhen.

“Sister Zhenzhen, the news is out.”

Sun Xiao sounded very disappointed. Previously, she didn’t believe Zhenzhen when she said that there would be two opposing opinions on the Internet. Now, reality confirmed Zhenzhen’s words.

Lu Zhen was already prepared. There were many people present at that time. With her fame, it was hard to guarantee that no one would spread this matter. What the paparazzi had to do was to organize and spread the truth as soon as possible before it fermented.

Lu Zhen took the phone. There was an unread message on the screen.

[Zhenzhen, I’m back.]

It was signed by Jin Zhan.

Lu Zhen sneered. She didn’t have the time to deal with the scumbag who had been seduced by Lu Rou. She opened Weibo and a line of red words appeared.

[Shocking! Fake sisterhood in the entertainment industry? Lu Zhen and Lu Rou had a falling out?]

After the title, there was the word “trending”.

There were photos of her lowering her head and crying, as well as photos of her staring at Lu Rou with sorrow.

However, this paparazzo knew the rules of the entertainment industry very well. He knew that only when there was controversy would there be popularity. Therefore, Lu Rou wasn’t the only one in the photo. Lu Rou’s eyes were filled with grievance as she broke down and cried. She also pretended to knock herself unconscious by banging her head against the wall.

The two photos of Lu Rou were not the main point. The main point was that he actually took a photo of Lu Rou’s flustered expression.

Lu Zhen pursed her lips and chuckled. She continued to post on her Weibo. The comments below were all comforting her and cursing the Lu family. This was also in line with the company’s method of controlling the comments on celebrities’ Weibo.

If she wanted to see the netizens’ real reaction, she had to go to the paparazzi’s Weibo.

This person’s Weibo name was Demon Hunter Master, and his real name was Zheng Yu. He would become a famous paparazzo in the entertainment industry two years later. Many actors and celebrities had fallen at his hands.

Lu Zhen knew that there would be paparazzi taking photos today. She had seen the news of her and Lu Rou’s sisterly relationship in her previous life. The photo was taken in this ward.

Could it be that the person photographing was Zheng Yu?

She opened this person’s homepage and a more detailed photo of her and Lu Rou appeared.

[@Entertainment News Everyday. Do you dare to release all the audio? Everyone, tomorrow night at eight o’clock, there’s a big scoop.]

Entertainment News Everydayy? She knew about this Weibo account. It was a paparazzi who became famous earlier than Zheng Yu. Compared to Zheng Yu, who only reported evidence, Entertainment News Everyday had no morals whatsoever.

As he often went against Zheng Yu’s team, the two sides didn’t like each other. Later on, Zheng Yu spent half a year digging up scandals about Entertainment News Everyday. After he dug up dirt on them, he was shocked. Not only did Entertainment News Everyday accept bribes to slander other artistes, but they even frabricated the scandals. They caused an innocent girl to commit suicide.

That period of time could be called an earthquake in the entertainment industry. It left a deep impression on Lu Zhen, who was too busy to listen to gossip.

Of course, with Zheng Yu’s revelations and concrete evidence, many people in the entertainment team were sent to the police station.

“Ah! Zhenzhen, you saw Demon Hunter Master! It’s all thanks to him. Otherwise, you would have been slandered!”

“What?” Lu Zhen frowned in confusion.
