Chapter 3469: Diva, Diva (26)

These fans were essentially Yue Wenlun's last line of defense. No matter what happened, they continued to support him.

However, the excuses the fans made for their idol were not very pleasant to hear. They claimed things like, ‘It was obviously Qiao Ling’er who seduced Yue Wenlun. I don't care what anyone says, she's the one who lured our idol into her trap.’

They argued that Qiao Ling’er was a calculating, shameless woman who had intentionally recorded the video and posted it online to destroy the Best Actor award winner's reputation.

While they were technically right about the truth, the old saying still applied: a fly does not land on an uncracked egg. The Best Actor award winner's own moral character was clearly lacking.

As the saying went, one brain-dead fan was worse than ten haters. These fans shouted things like, ‘No matter what happens, we will always love you!’ and so on.

When Yue Wenlun disabled the comment section on his Weibo, many of these fans felt very hurt.

But Yue Wenlun had no time to worry about the feelings of fans he had never even met. He was currently dealing with a crisis that was spiraling out of control.

The media called him every day and blocked the entrance to his studio. Eventually, his studio was forced to suspend all operations.

Not only that, but he was also summoned to the police station for an investigation into the rape allegations.

At the station, Yue Wenlun admitted to having a sexual relationship with Qiao Ling’er, but he maintained that it was consensual and that they had slept together more than once.

However, the police could find no trace of Qiao Ling’er. They couldn't contact her at all. It was as if she had simply vanished into thin air.

Without the other party present, the matter eventually came to nothing.

Although the police couldn't file formal charges or convict him, and Yue Wenlun didn't have to face legal consequences, he still had to pay a small fine. For him, the drawbacks of the situation far outweighed the fact that he was technically cleared of rape.

Because Qiao Ling’er refused to show her face, he had no way to clear his name. The label of ‘rapist’ would likely stay with him forever.

It was a total disaster!

Yue Wenlun hadn't expected Qiao Ling’er to be so ruthless. She had been calculating against him for a long time, yet he had failed to control himself.

To make matters worse, he had paid her one million for every encounter.

He had truly lost everything. He had lost his money, his reputation, and his career.

He had been too careless. It was because Qiao Ling’er looked so pure and flawless. He had underestimated women.

A woman who was willing to sell her body for money was clearly a seasoned veteran of the industry who knew exactly how to use her physical assets.

Yet, despite everything, he still felt a lingering obsession with her body.

Now, he had become the lead actor in every netizen's private video collection.

He had always been a leading man, but he never wanted to be that kind of lead.

The movie he had filmed recently also met with disaster. Cinemas had already pulled it from their schedules.

Yue Wenlun tried everything to contact Qiao Ling’er, but there was no response. She had truly disappeared.

He was fuming with rage. This woman was a jinx. Nothing good had happened since the day he met her.

First, he had broken up with his girlfriend, then he was hit with a plagiarism scandal, and now a rape scandal had surfaced.

His career was in tatters, and there was almost no chance of a comeback.

Who would watch a movie starring a rapist?

This was unbelievable. This woman must have been his enemy in a past life.

The pressure on Yue Wenlun was immense. He stayed indoors, waiting for the public outcry to cool down.

Yue Wenlun offered no explanation to the public, but the police posted the results of their investigation online. They stated that they could not locate the accuser, Qiao Ling’er, and that Yue Wenlun claimed they were in a relationship, meaning there was no proof of rape.

Since the victim failed to appear, the case ended with a simple fine.

Yue Wenlun: …

The Best Actor award winner's fans: …

Didn't this just indirectly confirm that Yue Wenlun and Qiao Ling’er had indeed slept together?

Although the rape was unproven, this didn't do anything to improve his image.

The police had unintentionally stabbed Yue Wenlun with their blunt honesty!

Ning Shu almost died laughing. Were the officers doing this on purpose?

They invited him in for ‘a chat’ and then released a conclusion like that.

At the very least, Yue Wenlun's career had hit rock bottom. Once the scandal blew over, he might be able to work behind the scenes, and perhaps he could stage a comeback then.

Meanwhile, the Qiao Ling’er that Yue Wenlun was searching for so desperately had taken on a new face. She had become an ‘original’ singer-songwriter, posting videos of herself singing online. Naturally, all the songs were her own she sang were her own ‘original’ compositions.

Qiao Ling’er was no longer acting. Instead, she was pursuing a career in music. With the beautiful voice provided by the system and the songs it gave her, her videos began to gain attention. Furthermore, she was now breathtakingly beautiful and very eye-catching.

She was no longer using the name Qiao Ling’er. Since she had changed her face, she had to change her name as well, otherwise people would recognize her instantly.

She had been keeping an eye on the news. Seeing Yue Wenlun being spat on and called a rapist made her feel incredibly satisfied.

Some ‘male god’ he was. He was just a selfish man who was easily blinded by lust. She had done so much for him, yet he had abandoned her in the end.

If it benefited him or she was obedient, his affection would rise. But the moment she made him unhappy, it would plummet.

Qiao Ling’er felt that to capture Yue Wenlun, she had sacrificed her dignity and focused entirely on making him happy, yet she had received nothing in return.

Starting over, she had a new plan. She would no longer throw herself at those men. First, she would build herself up into someone magnificent, and then those men would flock to her like bees to a flower.

She was sick of sucking up to a man only to walk away empty-handed.

In her heart, she hated Yue Wenlun.

That was why she had been able to do what she did.

Seeing him in such a frantic, miserable state brought her great joy.

After building up some popularity online, Qiao Ling’er began participating in a talent show.

By relying on the system’s massive cheat, every song she performed was stunning. Because her work was ‘original’ and she was both beautiful and talented, the internet hailed her as a gifted lady.

She had already gathered a decent following.

Ning Shu's drama had finished filming. She wasn't worried about the show being a hit, but she was worried about where Qiao Ling’er was hiding.

It had been so long, yet the girl hadn't appeared even once.

Had Qiao Ling’er quit the entertainment industry?

But the system hadn't left her yet, so she didn't have the right to refuse its tasks!

Ning Shu eventually grew impatient. She spent five points of merit to use the positioning system to find out where Qiao Ling’er was.

Remaining in the dark while the enemy hid was an unpleasant feeling.

She needed to be sure of the situation!

The positioning system began its work. To Ning Shu's surprise, the results showed that she was at a television station.

Qiao Ling’er was at a TV station?

Ning Shu headed toward the coordinates. Qiao Ling’er's reputation was so terrible, yet a TV station was still inviting her to do a show?
