Chapter 360: A Copycat Will Always Be A Copycat

Huo Yao took his phone and looked at the screen intently. She tapped it gently for a while. Huo Xiang did not know what she was up to when he saw her actions. Instead, he turned to look out of the car window.

Before long, Huo Yao returned his phone.

Huo Xiang took his phone and glanced at his homepage before putting it away.

Tong Yu’s car pulled up outside the Huo residence slightly after 10:00 pm.

“Brother Xiang, go on inside. I want to talk to Yu for a minute,” said Huo Yao to Huo Xiang after they got off the car. She seemed calm, and he did not notice anything amiss in her deep eyes.

Huo Xiang looked at his little sister in confusion. “Is there something that I can’t know?”

Huo Yao raised her brow. “Just do it.”

Huo Xiang was flabbergasted.

“...”

But, then he walked away quietly.

Huo Yao opened the front passenger car door, and got in.

“Who is Xiang Nan?” asked Huo Yao candidly.

Tong Yu was initially surprised before he answered. “Have you checked Weibo already?”

Huo Yao rapped her fingers on her knees unhurriedly. “Uh huh.”

Tong Yu went quiet, and his face looked upset. “Xiang Nan is a member of Phenom. They used to be really tight, but a rift appeared between them as Huo Xiang’s popularity soared...”

This sounded like a classic story of how jealousy made the man change beyond recognition.

Huo Yao learned about the whole thing in the next one minute.

“Your brother couldn’t have plagiarized Xiang Nan’s work. Since they are in the same band, it’s normal for their styles to be similar. Moreover, Xiang Nan isn’t that good, so Huo Xiang is way out of his league,” scoffed Tong Yu.

Huo Yao nodded calmly. “I think so too. Could Brother Xiang’s work have accidentally ended up in his hands?”

Tong Yu scratched his head. “I’m not sure about that. Since they are in the same band, it’s wholly possible, considering it’s a new song they are still working on.”

“How can we prove my brother’s innocence?” asked Huo Yao.

Tong Yu smiled sadly. “Both parties will need to produce strong evidence.”

He paused before he added. “But it’s strange how Xiang Nan’s work seems to be better than Huo Xiang’s version. I have heard your brother’s song earlier. His version wasn’t complete like Xiang Nan’s, so the netizens are already starting to take Xiang Nan’s side.”

Hence, Huo Xiang was in a precarious situation.

Tong Yu believed in Huo Xiang’s abilities. Also, it was not in his personality to copy someone else’s work. Something must be wrong here. However, he was unable to find evidence, so he felt depressed.

Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. “A copycat will always be a copycat.”

Tong Yu sighed deeply. “Sigh. I will keep trying to crush the news. We can’t let this fester.”

Huo Yao turned to look at him. “Thanks for working on it.”

Tong Yu waved his hand. “It’s nothing. It’s my job. Oh yes. Can you find some way to keep it from him for now? I will tell him about it after it dies down a little.”

“Sure.” Huo Yao nodded. “Call me if you have any updates.”

She opened the car door and got off.

After taking two steps, she turned to knock on the car window.

Tong Yu lowered the window and looked at Huo Yao with a raised eyebrow.
