Chapter 336-341

Chapter 336. Photos Exposed

Now that he thought about it, President Li had been acting as a good person from the beginning to the end. His purpose was to dispel Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao's guard.

Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao had always been on guard against Wang Shi, but they thought President Li, who had accused Wang Shi, was good.

...

Even if Ding Shan didn't want to have this meal with Wang Shi, she finally compromised because of the 'good person' President Li's plea.

Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao didn't expect that Boss Li had been pretending all along. The three of them were probably not good people.

The anger and disgust of being schemed against made Ding Shan feel breathless. It was as if she had long been treated as prey, and a significant net tailored for her had trapped her firmly tonight, almost ruining her life.

"That d*mn Wang Shi and that Boss Li are not good people! Sister Shan, let's call the police and sue them!" Xiao Zhao was trembling with anger.

"You can't call the police." The man's voice suddenly rang out. Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao turned to look at Xiang Hong.

Xiang Hong walked out from the shadows and stood before the two. He looked at Ding Shan and said, "They might have left some photos as so-called 'evidence' and are preparing to post unfavorable remarks about Ding Shan on the internet. If we call the police, it will only make the netizens suspect that something has happened between Ding Shan and that man. Moreover, even if the police stand on Ding Shan's side, the netizens who don't know the truth might not believe her."

There was another important reason for not calling the police. Xiang Hong investigated Wang Shi's identity. He seemed to have some influence. If the police were to intervene, he might end up quibbling in front of the police and be acquitted.

Rather than calling the police, it was better to let Xiang Hong solve this problem himself.

"Then ... Then what should we do? Is sister Shan going to be wronged for nothing?" Tears rose in Xiao Zhao's eyes as she asked in anger and helplessness.

"I won't let her suffer in vain." Xiang Hong looked at Ding Shan and said with certainty.

The restless night passed, and the horizon gradually turned gray.

After returning to the film Park, Ding Shan looked for Yin Hui and explained the situation.

When Yin Hui heard this, his eyes widened, and he sucked in the air.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ding. It's all my fault for not protecting you well and letting you encounter such a thing. Don't worry; I'll investigate this matter. That Wang Shi ..." Yin Hui's face was disgusted when he mentioned this name. He slammed the table and said, "I will never let him off!"

He dared to touch his brother's woman in his territory. This Wang Shi was tired of living!

Ding Shan looked at the Mysterious X, sitting at the side without saying anything, then looked at Yin Hui and asked, "You two are friends, right?"

Yin Hui knew that he could not hide this matter any longer. He scratched his head in embarrassment and was about to answer when Xiang Hong glanced at him with disdain. "We know each other. We're not very close."

Yin Hui was speechless. What did you say? Can you repeat that?

I treat you like a brother, but you say we're not close?

Ding Shan wasn't very curious about their relationship. She thought for a while and said, "The most important thing now is to find out who else is related to this matter and who has the photos."

"Isn't this Wang Shi's doing? Who else could it be?" Yin Hui did not understand.

"Wang Shi told me someone had said something to him before, which made him think of me. I can roughly guess who that person is, but I don't have any evidence yet. As for the photo, it might be in that person's hands." The image of Chen Tong standing with Wang Shi on the day of the commercial shoot appeared in Ding Shan's mind.

"We'll have a result soon." Said Xiang Hong. Then, he exchanged a glance with Ding Shan. Both seemed to have a premonition of what was about to happen.

Sure enough, at around 11 p.m., a few blurry photos suddenly appeared on the internet. The entertainment marketing who exposed the news claimed that these photos were taken at a five-star hotel near the film and television Park of 'Idol Creation Camp.' It seemed that the woman in the pictures, who only showed her back, was a female celebrity.

In the photo, three men and two women were standing in front of the elevator. One of the men had his hand on the waist of a beautiful woman and was talking to her with his head lowered. The photo behind showed these people walking into the elevator together.

Only the man's back was revealed. His body looked a little bloated, giving off the feeling that he was a middle-aged man in his forties.

The man and the beautiful woman standing together made people uncomfortable, even slightly ridiculous.

Chapter 337. Slander

'Idol Creation Camp' has been very popular recently. After the show was broadcast, the mentors and the trainees received much attention. As soon as these photos were posted, they attracted the attention of many netizens.

"Female celebrity? It can't be a female teacher, right?"

...

"Of course. The trainees are all boys. The woman in the picture is a beauty just from her back. It's just that the angle of the photo was not very good, and the face can't be seen."

"Stop guessing riddles; choose one out of the two. Chen Tong or Ding Shan?"

At first, the netizens were still discussing which female mentor the female celebrity in the image was, but the discussion results were out very quickly.

A few netizens used photo restoration software to restore the photo and determine the other woman's identity.

"Zhao Ke is Ding Shan's assistant in the previous company. She is also Ding Shan's current manager and assistant."

Therefore, the female teacher with the man's arm around her waist was undoubtedly Ding Shan.

For a time, the entire internet was in an uproar.

"Ding Shan? Impossible, this was impossible! Ding Shan is not that kind of person!"

"If it isn't Ding Shan, could it have been our Tongtong? I love our Tongtong. It is the other female mentor who had a wild private life, but the netizens almost misunderstood her as our Tongtong."

"The photo wouldn't lie. It's Ding Shan, and her manager is beside her."

"I'm guessing that Ding Shan's fans will say: Ding Shan had been forced; how could the pure and innocent Ding Shan sell her body and soul for money? But look, the last few people in the photo went up the elevator together. It can't be that someone forced Ding Shan to go up the elevator with a gun, right?"

"I don't want to believe that Ding Shan would do such a thing, but ... How do you explain these photos? I want to hear Ding Shan come out and explain herself."

"What's there to explain? She's been caught doing such an embarrassing thing; how can she still come out and explain? She was probably lying on some rich man's bed, serving someone else! What pure white jasmine, she's just a shameless whore!"

"Chen Tong's fans, don't make things sound so bad. Things aren't clear yet. Can you guys shut up?"

..

The netizens were in an uproar. Some were shocked, some didn't believe it, and some were humiliating Ding Shan.

This was the first time Ding Shan's scandal was exposed since she became a recluse. Among Ding Shan's fans, some fans who didn't know her well could not accept this and immediately announced that they would no longer like Ding Shan.

Chen Tong's fans were spreading ridiculing remarks about Ding Shan. Seeing that Ding Shan's scandal was exposed, they were even happier than they were during the new year.

"Sister Shan, what should we do?" Xiao Zhao looked at the insults directed at Ding Shan on the internet and trembled with anger. "Should I ask the studio to make a statement? I can't let these people continue to slander you!"

Compared to the anxious Xiao Zhao, the current Ding Shan was terrifyingly calm.

It turned out that those people had already taken these photos in the hall. These photos were taken from very tricky angles. From the perspective of the netizens, it was indeed easy to cause misunderstandings.

Not to mention, in the end, Ding Shan went into the elevator with those people. This proved that Ding Shan did not 'Resist' at all. It would also make the netizens, not in the know, think she was willing to 'Degenerate.'

This was indeed a vicious move. If Ding Shan couldn't explain this matter, her reputation would be ruined entirely.

Xiao Zhao went out to take a call and came back with a pale face. "Sister Shan, Kaipuu called to ask about it. What should we do now?"

At four o 'clock in the afternoon, the popularity of this matter still had not subsided. The related topic had been on the hot search for a few hours, and some netizens who did not pay much attention to the entertainment industry had noticed it.

Under everyone's attention, Ding Shan finally posted a Weibo message with only a few words: "I didn't do it. I won't admit it. The studio is gathering evidence."

At the same time, Time Studio also issued a warning letter.

However, Ding Shan and her studio's statement obviously couldn't stop the rumors. Those who hated Ding Shan became even smugger, saying that Ding Shan was just being stubborn, and in fact, she couldn't produce any evidence.

Time Studio, which had appeared in the public eye for the second time, was also ridiculed. Someone posted a warning on Weibo and said sarcastically, "Are you going to send me a lawyer's letter? I'm so scared! You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it? And you won't let the netizens discuss it?"

Chapter 338. Clarification

Affected by Ding Shan's incident, the Weibo comments section of Idol Creation Camp and the other four coaches also fell.

The comments section was filled with angry comments against artistes with lousy track records. The netizens were all asking for an explanation from the Festival Group. They didn't want an immoral female artiste appearing on the show.

...

Someone asked Chen Tong on her Weibo if she had noticed that Ding Shan was with a rich man.

Initially, Chen Tong could have chosen not to answer these questions because the other three mentors had chosen to ignore them. However, Chen Tong replied to this netizen-

"I have a pretty good impression of senior Ding Shan. Maybe everyone has a different goal. Everyone, please don't blame her. She's already on the verge of a mental breakdown these days."

Chen Tong's reply expressed her sympathy for ding Shan and also showed her kindness. However, when Xiao Zhao saw Chen Tong's response, she only wanted to spit on the ground.

"Bah! Isn't she just trying to lead the netizens to think that sister Shan had done those things? And an emotional breakdown? We've never even seen that before!" Xiao Zhao growled. She wished she could teleport to Chen Tong and give her two tight slaps.

Ding Shan did not get angry at Chen Tong's words. Instead, she laughed. "You can't hold it in anymore?"

However, at this moment, Ding Shan was a little confused. She initially analyzed that Chen Tong arranged everything that happened last night, but after seeing Chen Tong's stupid speech today, she felt that with Chen Tong's intelligence, she couldn't have thought of such a perfect plan.

Could it be that there were other people involved in this?

She could only investigate this slowly in the future. The most important thing now was to solve this matter.

The evidence of her counterattack was almost sorted out, and it was time to release it.

At 7:30 that night, Ding Shan posted a Weibo post, explaining in detail the identities of Wang Shi and the other two and explaining that she went to discuss the cooperation with the sponsor that night.

Seeing Ding Shan's Weibo post, Chen Tong sneered, "She couldn't have thought that these few words could explain the whole thing, right? If I don't believe it, will the netizens believe it? Ding Shan, it seems like you're done for this time. Who asked you to offend me?"

Chen Tong's smug smile didn't even last for a minute before Ding Shan posted another audio.

Clicking into the audio, the content was the negotiation between Ding Shan and the other party at the dining table last night. Part of the audio was edited, but from the part of the audio that was released, Ding Shan did meet with the other party with the purpose of negotiation.

In the audio, Xiao Zhao also questioned the other party for his harassment and offense against Ding Shan. The other party's representative, President Li, even apologized to Ding Shan for this matter.

This audio was enough to prove that Ding Shan was a victim! She sincerely went to explain to the other party why she couldn't cooperate, but she was schemed against by the other party. Not only was she sexually harassed, but someone also secretly took photos and posted them on the internet, causing her to be insulted by the entire internet.

This 180-degree reverse transfer was shocking to the netizens. Many netizens who had scolded Ding Shan for being shameless initially were speechless.

The entire day after this incident had fermented, Ding Shan's fans were despised no matter where they went. The fans who had insisted on believing in Ding Shan were under tremendous psychological pressure. They did not choose to join the team that insulted Ding Shan; they believed in ding Shan's character.

Time Studio quickly came up with a long list of names. On it were the marketing accounts that had deliberately distorted the facts in this incident and some netizens who had launched personal attacks or cursed Ding Shan.

Times Studio said, " Celebrities are allowed to be monitored by the public, but they are not allowed to be insulted and slandered without reason. Before the facts are investigated, the comments of these marketing accounts and netizens have constituted cyber violence. The studio reserves the right to sue. The internet is not an illegal place. Please speak with caution and abide by the moral bottom line.

The scandal had been cleared up. The biggest victim of this incident, Ding Shan, had initially been insulted by the entire internet. After the evidence was released, many netizens who had misunderstood her apologized to her on her Weibo.

At the same time, some of Ding Shan's loyal fans also posted comments.

"For the entire day today, my world was dark and gloomy. I saw everyone insulting Ding Shan, and my friends even came to care for me after hearing about this, asking me not to be too sad. But I'm the only one who knows that Ding Shan isn't that kind of person. The world can choose not to believe her, but I believe in her. What made me happy was that she proved to the fans who persevered that she's still the original clean Ding Shan, no matter how dirty the industry is. She didn't let anyone down!"

Chapter 339. Dealing With The King's Stone

After the entertainment party ended, there was news from the hospital that Wang Shi had woken up.

Ding Shan didn't want to go to the hospital to see a person she hated the most, but things had to be understood. She also had some things to ask Wang Shi.

...

Just as she was about to set off, her phone suddenly rang. When she picked up the call, Xiang Hong's voice could be heard. "Yin Hui and I are already in the hospital. You don't have to come over. We will settle this."

Ding Shan was about to speak, but Xiang Hong seemed to know what she would say. "I'll get to the bottom of it before dealing with him. Don't worry."

Handle it? How was he going to deal with Wang Shi? Ding Shan always felt his tone was gloomy and scary when he said this word.

Right now, in the ward, next to Wang Shi's bed.

Seeing Xiang Hong hang up the phone, Yin Hui, standing beside him, immediately said, "Do you want to do it, or should I do it? Why don't I do it? I'm afraid that you'll accidentally kill him. It's not good to let someone die."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shi, whose mouth was taped shut, whimpered in horror. He struggled like a worm, but his hands and feet were tied, and he couldn't move.

Xiang Hong walked to Wang Shi and tore off the tape. Wang Shi took a deep breath and said, "You dare to touch me? Do you know who my uncle is?"

"Your uncle? Your uncle is nothing. Do you know who he is? Even the king of hell will praise your courage if you dare to touch his woman!" Yin Hui directly slapped Wang Shi's head. "I advise you not to be so arrogant. Immediately treat yourself as a grandson. Who knows, you might be able to save your dog life."

Wang Shi knew Yin Hui's identity. Hearing Yin Hui's words, this man's identity might be higher than Yin Hui's. Wang Shi suddenly felt a little guilty.

He didn't dare to be presumptuous and hurriedly explained, "Don't blame me; it's all that bitch Chen Tong's fault. She told me to sleep with Ding Shan if I paid her. How would I know that Ding Shan is this man's woman? I didn't sleep with Ding Shan; she punched me before I touched her ..."

Wang Shi spoke for a long time, and the general meaning was that he didn't sleep with Ding Shan, and the money he used to bribe President Li and the other two people were gone. In the end, he was even beaten up by Ding Shan. He was the most innocent one.

Yin Hui glanced at Xiang Hong, and after half a second, he was so scared that he looked away.

Xiang Hong didn't say anything harsh and just looked at Wang Shi calmly. However, Wang Shi felt that Xiang Hong's gaze was even more terrifying than the god of death. Being looked at like that, Wang Shi had the illusion that he was already a corpse.

..

The next day, Ding Shan woke up to find a friend request on her phone. After accepting it, the other party didn't say anything. Ding Shan thought for a moment and asked, "X."

After a few minutes, the other party seemed to have finished their work and replied, "The honorable Miss Ding doesn't want to add me as a friend. I have no choice but to take the initiative."

His words sounded sour, and Ding Shan was a little embarrassed. She could only explain, "You know that my identity is prone to trouble, so I don't usually add unimportant friends."

"Oh, I know. I'm not important."

Ding Shan could feel the anger that was about to overflow from the other party's words, so she had to change the topic immediately. "I didn't mean it that way. By the way, how's Wang Shi? How did Yin Hui talk to him? I feel that his identity is not ordinary."

Wang Shi?

Xiang Hong didn't know how Wang Shi was doing, but he should still be on his last breath. In short, he wouldn't die.

"He's fine. There's still Chen Tong; what do you plan to do?" Xiang Hong asked.

Thinking of Chen Tong, Ding Shan felt a little troubled.

From a personal point of view, she would never let Chen Tong off, but Chen Tong was also the program's coach. The show would be affected if she retaliated against Chen Tong without considering the consequences. Ding Shan did not want anything to happen to the variety show.

"I ..."

Before Ding Shan could say anything, Xiang Hong said, "I know. You don't plan to do anything, do you?"

Ding Shan was silent. Why did this Mysterious Person X seem to know what she was thinking? The feeling of being seen through at once was bizarre.

"I'll deal with her, but it won't affect the Show's broadcast." Ding Shan did not deny Xiang Hong's words.

"If you trust me, I can help you." Xiang Hong remained silent for two seconds and then said indifferently.

"You've already helped me a lot. I'm embarrassed to trouble you again ..." Ding Shan didn't like to owe too many favors, especially since Xiang Hong was different from the others.

"Oh? Then how could you have the nerve to trouble me that night?" The man's voice had a tinge of electric current on the phone, which was intense and pleasant to the ear.

Chapter 340. Music Festival

Ding Shan's ears immediately turned red when she heard, "That night."

Why couldn't he forget about that?

...

Ding Shan wanted to hang up the phone immediately, but she resisted this urge. She took a deep breath and was about to speak when Xiang Hong said, "I guess you're going to emphasize again that that night was an accident? "

Ding Shan was silent.

She was indeed prepared to say that.

Could this person be a mind-reader? How could he guess her thoughts so accurately?

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I don't have any other intentions. It's just that I'm different from you. You don't want to take responsibility, but I'm not that kind of person. I want to help you, and I don't need you to repay me. Alright, I still have to rehearse. I'll see you later, Miss Ding."

The man hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Ding Shan did not even have time to think about what he had just said.

After returning to her senses, Ding Shan felt that she had been deeply misunderstood.

What did he mean by she didn't want to take responsibility? He said it like she was a scumbag who played with his feelings. She didn't want to do that that day!

Sigh, I really can't explain it. Ding Shan massaged her forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

"Sister Shan, most of the misunderstandings on the internet have been cleared up. Also, some netizens have found out Wang Shi's identity. His uncle is a high-ranking provincial official and is such a high-ranking relative. No wonder he dared to have ideas about you." Xiao Zhao had been paying attention to the news on the internet for the past two days. She was worried when she learned about Wang Shi's identity and background.

"Do you think this matter will end up like this? The topics and terms about you on Weibo are trendy, but the real-time search list doesn't show them. Hmph, Wang Shi's uncle doesn't want this matter to involve him. I'm guessing he's the one who's suppressing the heat of this matter." Xiao Zhao growled.

Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Ding Shan laughed. "Alright, don't be too angry. Anyway, I'd already beaten him up that day. He'll probably be in bed for a month or two before he can get up."

Ding Shan knew that the world was unfair. She had to do her best to protect herself, but some people could safely leave after doing something terrible.

On the surface, Ding Shan was comforting Xiao Zhao, but she was also reassuring herself. What else could she do? Was she going to die together with Wang Shi and the others? For the disadvantaged, perhaps the only way to achieve fairness was to have both sides suffer.

"Oh right, sister Shan, how did you get that recording? Did you ..." Xiao Zhao looked at Ding Shan curiously.

Ding Shan nodded. "In the main hall, I sensed that something was wrong. I was worried they would do something to us later, so I secretly opened the phone recording software. I didn't expect it to come in handy."

The experience in the Ding family raised Ding Shan's awareness of danger, and she also learned to use some means to protect herself.

After Ding Shan's sexual harassment incident sparked a wave of public opinion, many netizens also boycotted and criticized the Golden Sun brand. The netizens demanded that the Golden Sun apologize to Ding Shan and deal with Wang Shi seriously.

The Golden Sun brand had been in contact with Ding Shan for the past two days, hoping she would make a public statement to appease the netizens.

Ding Shan told Xiao Zhao to ignore the other party.

Wang Shi caused this matter, but the Golden Sun didn't think about how to solve the source of the problem. Instead, they came to her, the victim, and she wanted her to solve it. In your dreams!

"Sister Shan, the Festival team will be holding a small music festival at the film Park on Saturday night. They've invited a few male idol groups. You'll be there too, so they're asking if you'd like to perform on stage." Xiao Zhao flipped through the schedule and reminded Ding Shan of her upcoming schedule.

Ding Shan slowly shook her head. "I won't be performing."

The Festival Group organized this music festival to enrich the Show's content and invite some famous idol groups to perform and set role models for the trainees.

The trainees could learn a lot from being able to experience other people's stage performances up close.

Yin Hui had indeed spent a lot of effort to invite these famous idol groups to perform. He was afraid that he had to spend a lot of money.

As expected of young Master Yin. With such a high budget, regular programs wouldn't even consider it.

"Sister Shan, I'm afraid Chen Tong will be smug again if you don't participate in the performance. I heard she has prepared two programs as if she's afraid that people don't know she can sing." Xiao Zhao rolled her eyes, and her tone was full of disdain.

Chapter 341. Showdown

"Chen Tong ..." Ding Shan's eyes narrowed, revealing a complex and dangerous look.

Ding Shan was a person who didn't like to cause trouble, but there were always people who would take the initiative to find trouble with her.

...

Chen Tong still didn't show any signs of repentance for this matter. Did she think she didn't have to bear any responsibility just because she wasn't found out?

Soon, it was the day of the music festival, held in a nearby stadium. There were already several signboards and giant posters on the scene, with balloons and ribbons decorating the center of the venue.

The stage was relatively small as it was only a small music festival held by the Festival Group. Behind the circular stage, an LCD screen was rolling out the Festival Group's promotional video.

There were two long tables on both sides of the stage with all kinds of food and drinks on them for the trainees to take.

"Wow, the atmosphere is so good. If someone doesn't cause trouble, I think this variety show would be perfect." Xiao Zhao tasted a piece of cake and said emotionally.

Ding Shan was standing next to Xiao Zhao. She wore a long dress of matching colors today, making her look exotic. As soon as she arrived, many trainees looked at Ding Shan in amazement.

Soon, the emcee walked up to the stage, picked up the microphone, and announced the official start of the music festival.

After that, a few well-known bands went on stage to perform. As the coach, Su Yan went on stage to sing a song. Immediately after, Chen Tong, dressed up very dazzlingly, went on stage.

This time, Chen Tong was well prepared. There were no mistakes in the two songs. She sang and danced on the stage, interacting with the camera as if this music festival was her small concert.

After Chen Tong finished singing, she bowed to the audience with a smile. There was no panic or uneasiness on her face.

After walking off the stage, Chen Tong asked her assistant breathlessly, "How was my singing?"

"It's just like a CD player playing it directly. It's perfect!" Naturally, the assistant did not dare to point out the flaws in Chen Tong's performance. After a bunch of words of praise, Chen Tong was indeed happy. She snorted, "Of course, I'm a professional. Look at that Ding Shan; she didn't even dare to perform live. I'm afraid she's guilty."

Chen Tong asked her assistant to bring her another dress she had prepared. She had prepared three sets of clothes to be in the limelight on this day of the music festival. She might even have moved her closet over if the situation had allowed.

After the assistant left, Chen Tong was about to go to the lounge to sit for a while. Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of her eyes. Then, her arm was grabbed by someone, and she was dragged to the side of the stairs.

Before Chen Tong could curse, she saw Ding Shan with a cold smile on her face. She asked, "Did you just say that I'm guilty?"

"You eavesdropped on our conversation?" Chen Tong said in anger and shock. At the same time, she looked at the exit and prepared to leave. Ding Shan's gaze made her feel very uneasy.

"I've been waiting for you here all this time. It's just that instructor Chen Tong was too proud and didn't notice me. But I'm baffled. If the perpetrator doesn't feel guilty, why did she say I, the victim, was guilty?" Ding Shan slowly approached Chen Tong, her voice as cold as ice.

"What are you saying? I don't understand what you're saying!" Chen Tong was a little flustered and roared, "What, you're blaming me for almost being raped? I wasn't at the scene; what evidence do you have to prove that I did it?"

Before Ding Shan could say what it was, Chen Tong had already brought it up. Ding Shan sneered, "Chen Tong, I haven't even said anything, and you're already so anxious?"

"I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. I have nothing to do with this matter anyway." Chen Tong lifted her feet and walked to the exit of the stairwell, ready to leave this place as soon as possible.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Chen Tong's hair and dragged her back. Chen Tong screamed, but she was carried to the top of the stairs by Ding Shan.

Chen Tong's body was suspended in the air, and she felt like she would fall down the stairs in the next second. She was so frightened that she screamed, "Ding Shan, what are you doing? I'm a teacher; how dare you lay a hand on me?"

"You dared to hit me. I'm just doing what you've done to me. You can't take it anymore?" Ding Shan's voice echoed in the empty stairwell as if a ghost had crawled out of hell to take her life. Chen Tong was so scared that tears were about to fall.

"I admit that I did it, but I was forced!" At this time, Chen Tong knew that denying it was useless, so she could only try her best to push the responsibility away.
