Chapter 138: God Qian is Even More Disgusting

Gunshi Entertainment Company.

Inside the company, members were running around in a frantic state of panic over the ongoing "Ren Qian Dispute."

The technical staff provided full support to the actions of the cyber armies. The intelligence personnel collated and processed every piece of news regarding the matter, delivering the reports straight to the board of directors.

Everyone else watched with bated breath. Gunshi could not afford to have its reputation ruined in this crushing onslaught. The slightest misstep would easily plunge the company into a vicious cycle, dragging it down step by step from its position among the top three entertainment giants.

As contracted singers of Gunshi, they deeply understood the adage that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact, which only heightened their anxiety.

A man in a suit hurriedly delivered twenty-seven information reports to the board of directors.

Everyone was browsing through the events of the past hour. Two hundred and forty minutes had passed since the Sing-God published his post on Weibo, yet aside from the frantic reposting by Ren Qian’s fans, it had failed to stir up any other waves.

The fierce battle across the forums remained deadlocked...

The infighting on Weibo had yet to yield a victor...

Even though Ren Qian had released a song titled *The Great Wall*, it was impossible to instantly wash away and crush these blood-red internet trolls with a single tidal wave.

As long as these trolls continued to rant and rave in an organized, led, and calculated manner for a single day, Gunshi would remain bogged down in this quagmire of war for that entire day. Every extra day it dragged on meant hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in losses.

"What should we do? The longer this drags on, the slower we are to clear Gunshi's and Ren Qian's names, and the greater our losses will be. Those adversaries are completely shameless scoundrels—they aren't going to suffer any losses at all!"

"I know that too, you don't need to keep repeating it. The enemy is in the open while we are in the dark, and everything is reduced to passive defense... What do we even have to resolve this dispute swiftly?"

"I have a way."

Suddenly, the door to the board of directors' office was pushed open.

Ren Qian, the protagonist of this entire incident, finally made his entrance.

"You have all fallen into a misconception, and that is being far too passive. Since we know that Mars Entertainment and Sound Emperor Entertainment are the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes, why don't we give them a taste of their own medicine?"

"What do you mean by giving them a taste of their own medicine?"

"Besides, what if those two entertainment companies aren't the ones pulling the strings after all?"

Two of them raised objections.

"So what if they aren't the two entertainment companies? Wouldn't we still want to swallow them up anyway? Don't tell me none of you seated here share that kind of ambition?"

Ren Qian’s words startled every member of the board of directors.

Swallow up two entertainment companies? Ambition? Both of these entertainment giants had traversed their own golden eras. How could they possibly collapse just like that?

Yet Ren Qian did not believe those two entertainment companies had much lifespan left; their vitality was practically zero!

Having played around with traditional-style music for decades, they had finally exhausted the last shred of vitality left in that towering tree. This was not to say that traditional-style music was dead, but rather that it could no longer be played with any fresh tricks in their hands.

Songs of the caliber of *East Wind Breaks* or *Chrysanthemum Terrace* had not appeared for several years. It would be a miracle if those withered trees could blossom in spring again!

"Ren Qian... isn't this proposal a bit too reckless? We all know that Gunshi, Mars, and Sound Emperor have maintained a tripartite balance of power for decades. To overthrow them in a short period is virtually impossible. You are greatly underestimating their foundations."

"It is not reckless. Do you know why I came here? Because I believe taking the initiative is better. Here are two relevant documents. Let everyone pass them around. I think you will all know what to do next much better than I do!"

Ren Qian tossed down two thick folders, walked over to sit beside Wen Run, and quietly waited for everyone's reaction.

For a long time, everyone was stunned by Ren Qian's confidence. Dressed in a sleek black suit, with a tall and upright posture, an exquisite watch on his wrist, neatly styled hair, and a sharp, piercing gaze, he cut the perfect figure of a shrewd genius in the business world.

Clothes make the man. Looking at him like this, Ren Qian's words suddenly became a lot more convincing.

They opened the folders.

The first folder showed Wan Feng, the signature singer of Mars Entertainment, with a twisted expression. His crazed, maniacal smile looked terrifying. The company's other two pillar singers, Peng Yu and Zhao Qi, were surprisingly in the exact same state, accompanied by several more photographs of the kind below.

Conclusion: All three singers had a bad habit—they indulged in illegal substances.

The second folder contained private photographs of dozens of singers from Sound Emperor Entertainment, all displaying the state they were in after indulging in illegal substances...

Absolute silence. You could hear a pin drop.

The folders were passed around the boardroom table. Everyone saw the information inside, and some furrowed their brows.

Twenty minutes later.

"Does Ren Qian intend to publish this on the internet? But these deductions are completely untrustworthy. What if the parties involved sue us for frame-up?"

"Frame-up? Are we still talking about frame-ups at a time like this? Then should I, Ren Qian, sue millions of people in court? Wouldn't it work if you just used a bit of technology to conceal your true identity? And hired a few more internet trolls to flood the comments! That way you'll have hundreds of thousands, or millions, of people framing them. Don't you understand that the law cannot punish the masses? Besides, this is fundamentally an issue of public opinion. As long as we throw them into disarray, we can extricate ourselves! Don't you know the strategy of besieging Wei to rescue Zhao?"

The group of people was left speechless.

Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. Both Wen Run and Ren Qian displayed formidable leadership skills amid this whirlpool.

Wen Run was fierce, rational, and methodical.

Ren Qian, on the other hand, was utterly unscrupulous. If you resort to smearing, I will be even more ruthless and abandon my bottom line entirely!

Prompted by Ren Qian's words, the person in charge immediately reacted, rushing out to mobilize the staff to spin these messages with sensational embellishments before releasing them, and then summoning a million internet trolls to flood the boards.

[Gunshi Entertainment Company harbors all sorts of dirt. The renowned Heavenly King Wan Feng is actually indulging in illegal substances in his private villa, with photographs as proof. In the photos, Heavenly King Wan Feng's expression is unnaturally distorted and his mental state is overly excited. All facts show that he has been using illicit substances for some time! How can such scum still be a Heavenly King? How can he still be an idol?!]

[Peng Yu, the top star of Gunshi Entertainment Company, possesses millions of fans and frequently participates in major television programs, yet he was caught on camera by paparazzi secretly using illegal substances...]

[Zhao Qi...]

[Sound Emperor Entertainment...]

The Weibo posts went live, and a million trolls were deployed. The trolls boosted the trending heat of these posts, causing more and more people to witness them.

Upon seeing the photographs, combined with the plausible reasoning laid out above, the netizens were shocked. The idols they originally adored actually... indulged in illegal substances!

Substances!

Looking at their expressions, there was no doubt they were on drugs!

Repost! Attack! Comment! Abuse!

The public shifted from flaming Ren Qian, to incidentally flaming several celebrities, and finally to primarily flaming those drug-using celebrities...

Ren Qian was grinning from ear to ear. He hadn't mastered any real evidence at all; he had simply searched the internet for some abnormal private pictures of these people, pieced them together, added some slick-sounding analysis, and poured a bucket of filthy water right over them.

Of course, flies don't bite seamless eggs. Ren Qian genuinely suspected that these celebrities lived messy lives, which was why he dared to pull off this frame-up. (To be continued.)
