Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 352: Chapter 351 Clearing the Name

Zhao Wenfeng fell into silence, his face flush with the effort to restrain himself, yet he dared not say anything.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Jianbang spoke softly, ”Old Ding, go check if her song is plagiarized. With her creative ability, she couldn’t possibly have composed such good music. Find out who created it, and at any cost, buy it!”

Zhao Wenfeng’s eyes lit up immediately, he said joyfully, ”Right, right, if we buy this song, our company will make a fortune! Also, if she plagiarizes again, she’ll never be able to turn her life around.”

”Shut your mouth!” Zhao Jianbang snapped angrily.

Startled, Zhao Wenfeng shivered and immediately clamped his mouth shut, not daring to speak.

Old Ding nodded, turned to leave, at this moment, a man suddenly exclaimed, ”Hey, look, what’s happening on the stage?”

The stage lights dimmed completely, then, a beam of light shone on Ying’er.

Behind Ying’er were several large screens used for projections. Originally, they were projecting the image of Ying’er on the stage, however, in that moment, the screens suddenly changed, displaying a video feed.

Following that, Ying’er spoke up, ”Ladies and gentlemen, the plagiarism issue involving my song a while ago disappointed many people. This incident had left me utterly disheartened, almost driving me out of the entertainment industry. Fortunately, my friends helped me find evidence, proving my innocence in this affair.”

The venue immediately erupted in commotion; the matter had caused a considerable stir. Where had Ying’er found the evidence?

”For the details, please look at the big screen,” Ying’er moved to the side a bit.

At this point, the video connected to the big screen began to play, showing the clips from Lan Ci’s USB drive.

After the first video finished playing, the whole venue was abuzz with uproar, the majority of the crowd chattering away.

Backstage, the producer was dumbfounded, he hadn’t expected such a reversal. This meant Ying’er had nothing to do with the incident? Didn’t that mean there would be no issues with Ying’er appearing on the show?

Furthermore, having been in the industry for so long, the producer knew very well what implications a vindication like this would have.

After the plagiarism scandal broke out, Ying’er was virtually a target of public condemnation, even her fans had turned against her. During that period, Ying’er had definitely endured great hardship.

Now, with this cleared-up case proving Ying’er’s innocence, there would be a vengeful surge in her fanbase. Her fans, feeling guilty for misunderstanding her, would support her even more. Those who didn’t know her, after this incident, would likely join her fanbase. For a star, such an opportunity was extremely rare!

Ying’er, already one of the top stars at this All-Star Singing Competition, would unquestionably become the most eye-catching one, especially after this ordeal, paired with her song.

If she continued in this competition, irrespective of what happened next, the viewership would remain sky-high.

However, if she were not in this competition and if news about her contract being terminated leaked out, the show would probably be doomed.

The most crucial thing was, if another network signed Ying’er and she appeared on a new show, that would spell major trouble. It would be a fatal blow to their network. In that case, rather than contemplating his future prospects, the producer figured that the network executives would tear him to shreds!

Then, the second video, the third video, the fourth video were played. With all the videos shown, the whole incident became crystal clear, even a fool could see that this was Lan Ci and that other person setting a trap to frame Ying’er.

The scene was filled with wails of despair as Ying’er’s fans who had once attacked her due to the incident were now crying out unceasingly, many loudly apologizing with snot and tears.

Even those who were not fans of Ying’er before, had now gained new respect for her due to this incident. That Ying’er could endure through such an ordeal and still produce such impressive work was truly admirable.

In the end, because of this incident, the people present mostly became fans of Ying’er, all cheering and rooting for her.

This development also resulted in an awkward situation for everyone backstage.

At Zhaobang Entertainment, Zhao Jianbang, who had been leaning on the sofa, straightened up. He clenched his teeth as he watched the scene on the television, utterly dumbfounded.

The others dared not utter a word, could it be that Ying’er would be able to clear her name? This was something no one could have anticipated!

What would Ying’er’s future hold after this step, is it even necessary to ask?

Although Ying’er could only be considered a first-tier actress now, after this incident, she would undoubtedly become a top-tier superstar.

How many entertainment companies out there could boast having a top-tier superstar right now?

Zhaobang Entertainment had just missed their greatest trump card!

Zhao Wenfeng’s face was ashen as he warily watched Zhao Jianbang.

Zhao Jianbang suddenly grabbed the remote on the table and threw it at Zhao Wenfeng’s head, cursing loudly, ”Do you see? Do you see? What did I say, what did I say!”

Zhao Wenfeng, with a dejected look, spoke softly, ”Dad, I... I didn’t know it would turn out this way...”

Zhao Jianbang thundered, ”How many times have I said, leave some leeway in life so you can face people in the future. This incident, explain to me, how are you going to handle it!”

With a mixture of grievance and anger on his face, Zhao Wenfeng fell silent for a moment before suddenly saying through clenched teeth, ”Dad, we can’t take that video seriously. Maybe it’s a fake. Perhaps, it was Lan Ci who conspired with her to shoot the video. Should I have someone investigate?”

”What nonsense are you spouting!” Zhao Jianbang bellowed, ”How can you fake the date of a video? Any computer expert can trace that. If they’re presenting it as evidence, of course they’re not afraid of it being investigated. And are you an idiot? Look who went to buy off Lan Ci!”

Zhao Wenfeng looked closely and murmured, ”Who... who is this?”

”It’s someone from the Huo Family!” Zhao Jianbang roared, ”Huo Dongjun, Huo Qianfang’s Seventh Uncle, the general manager of the company that Huo Qianfang is with!”

”Ah?” Zhao Wenfeng’s eyes widened, ”Does that mean... Huo Qianfang was the one scheming behind the scenes?”

”Regardless of whether Huo Qianfang was behind it, you need to understand one thing!” Zhao Jianbang exclaimed angrily, ”Even if Lan Ci agreed to conspire with Ying’er to make the video, Huo Dongjun would never do such a thing. So, without a doubt, it was the Huo Family who bribed Lan Ci, deliberately plotting to frame Ying’er!”

”This...” Zhao Wenfeng was agape with astonishment. Did that mean Ying’er was definitely going to clear her name of all charges?
