Chapter 76: Caught (1)
The night is as quiet as flowing water. Xing Yichen stood in front of the window and watched as the moonlight washed over the neatly trimmed grass.
He didnât understand what came over him, but he ended up rewatching the online video of Qiao Moyu leading the boy out of the sea of flames.
Xing Yichen even felt he was crazy for looking up Qiao Moyuâs Weibo and browsing through her comments section.
She had become a hot search topic this evening because of her rescue. The comments were filled with concerned words from her fans.
âSister Moyu, are you hurt? Howâre you feeling? Iâm so sad!â
âMoyu, in the past, I always thought you had nothing else but your beauty, but now I feel that I was too narrow-minded! There were so many people at the scene, but only you were courageous enough to jump into the sea of flames to save someoneâs life! I really admire you! What a person does in a life and death situation will reflect their true nature. Even if your acting isnât the best, I believe you will become more and more outstanding! I think highly of you!â
âSister Moyu, I was just a passerby before, but now Iâm going to be your fan!â
âGoddess, from the moment you split the wooden board with your bare hands, I was really surprised. And now Iâm even more surprised that you can also jump into a sea of flames to save someone.â
âSister Moyu, are you hurt? Does it hurt anywhere? TT^TT Wu wu, can you take a photo so we can see if youâre doing ok?â
......
Perhaps she saw the comments from the fans below, so Qiao Moyu posted a selfie.
She most likely washed her face after stepping out of the bath, since she still wore the hairband that pulled her fringe back, revealing her delicate and refined small face.
She lifted her right hand and made a heart gesture. One can see the blisters on her white wrist.
Qiao Moyu replied in a video: âThanks for your concern my fans, Iâm alright now. Itâs just part of being a martial artist so I got myself a few blisters. Iâm doing well now!â
As soon as this was posted on Weibo, the fans began to passionately post replied. As he was browsing, Xing Yichen noticed a comment that questioned the legitimacy of Qiao Moyuâs rescue, implying that she did it to gain fame and fortune. It read: âQiao Moyu, why exactly did you save that kid? Isnât it suspicious that it was even filmed in HD? You see, your fans even increased by more than 1 million in just one video, isnât that really surprising?â
At first, no one noticed this comment, but after a while, someone jumped into the comment section and retorted back: âHehe, your heart is so dark. Someone was brave enough to do something good, and yet you paint it black and say she did it on purpose. I hope you fall into a sea of fire where no one can save you!â
Very soon, many people joined in to argue, but for some reason, the number of people who questioned Qiao Moyuâs actions suddenly appeared at once, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Several people appeared out of nowhere to spread doubts about Qiao Moyuâs purpose, saying that she relied on backhand dealings to obtain fame. Otherwise, how could she know that a fire would start in that location? Could it have something to do with her? In short, anything coincidental was focused upon and questioned.
Xing Yichen frowned. He understood that someone must have hired a black powder army to stain Qiao Moyuâs name on purpose, making a lie out of truth. Although such claims couldnât be supported by logic, people are scary creatures. If they gossiped too much, they could easily turn around the situation.
As there werenât many fans in Qiao Moyuâs group, the cursing comments actually surpassed the ones that defended her name. The anti-fan army even scolded her loyal fans, saying they were brainless and were brainwashed by Qiao Moyu herself.
He wasnât sure if it was because he was saved in the past, but Xing Yichen felt that such sincerity and courage shouldnât be misunderstood. He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone, intending to contact his special assistant to hire a group of âfansâ who can comment and reverse the public opinion.
