After the photos were taken and removed from the hot search and trending list, it previously suppressed any discussions from being talked about by the netizens and passersby. However, not even a few hours later, a new topic was pushed forward in the rankings, shocking everyone at their roots when they read the words titled for that topic.
The topic "A veteran actress who remained on hiatus for the past 6 years has returned to suppress a new actress", spread so much that it almost resembled a wildfire. Many who saw this topic rushing forward to take the top 3 in the trending hot ranking showed a confused expression on their faces. They had no clue who this topic was talking about until someone pointed out that there was indeed an actress who took a long break for six years and only recently did she emerge in the public through another scandal involving another actress.
When some of the expert netizens on several platforms saw this, they immediately took their magnifying glass and detective hats to act like Detective Conan, and investigate the identity of this 'veteran actress'.
Not even an hour passed by, they quickly found Ran Xueyi's name which was also embroiled in a scandal that her younger sister, Ran Yue, was currently entangled with a few weeks ago.
This led many people to think that Ran Xueyi was making her move to return to the TV screens and had already joined a crew to film something in secret. And if they followed this train of events, however, they also found out that she arrived in Silver City at the same time as Gu Jiao evidenced by a photo taken during Gu Jiao's drop-off meeting with her fans.
Originally, not many believed this since it was a bit too much of a coincidence, but Gu Jiao's fans were heated up when they saw their idol's name being mentioned and also dug up the airport photos and videos they took during that day.
It wasn't only Gu Jiao's fan who came to take a look, even some of Ran Xueyi's minor fans she obtained at Ran Yue's birthday came to investigate. When they dissected the videos and photos taken on that day, they found that a tall woman covered in black clothes, black mask, and a black hat on top of her head was there. And if they zoomed it a bit and compared it to past airport photos of Ran Xueyi, the similarities was almost 95 percent of that tall woman in the recent airport photos of Gu Jiao.
Everyone was extremely astonished at their discoveries and this was quickly spread around. It didn't blow up as much, but the effect was still there especially, since many of Gu Jiao's fans were calling out Ran Xueyi to come out and explain why she's bullying their idol, Gu Jiao.
Albert and Gu Jiao's company saw this happen and they also lent some help to make this matter blow up so much that it took the top ranking in hot searches. It was unknown which post first wrote the words "Ran Xueyi, get out of the entertainment circle. Stop bullying new actresses", but it ignited many fans and passersby to fire and start shooting off their mouths to express their opinions.
At this time, Gu Jiao's fans were extremely angered by this. They went and cursed a lot on Ran Xueyi's official Weibo page and called her out. Most didn't know the reason behind this topic from blowing up, but still, they love their idol so much that they only wanted to defend her from a bully! Their goddess Jiao was an innocent and gentle angel, why should she be bullied by some actress who left the entertainment circle for six years and is not as popular as their idol?
More and more people came to Ran Xueyi's latest post, which was the photoshoot endorsement she did for Senhe Fashion House. The blatant swear words and unsightly things they called her almost flooded Ran Xueyi's fans' previous comments in there.
When Zhao Fei saw this, she felt her heart tighten and she took a deep breath. Her heart was aching watching these people abuse her artist without knowing the truth. And as much as she wanted to do something such as fire back at these abusive and brainless fans, she couldn't do it without Ran Xueyi's permission.
"They took a bite. They might have already guessed that the photos had something to do with you. However, they don't have any evidence to back their suspicions and decided to ruin you in front of everyone." Zhao Fei put down her phone and grabbed the pair of chopsticks to grab a piece of meat with a spicy sauce. "Look at these fans trying to raise this issue and asking the government to blacklist you from the entertainment circle. Tsk, so shameless!"
Ran Xueyi slowly nodded and savored the taste of the meat inside her mouth, "Wait a bit longer, Sister Zhao." She tapped a finger on the table as she glanced down at her phone with the Weibo page filling the screens. "Let this thing blow up some more before we counter attack. I'm sure even without lifting a hand, someone will reverse our situation."
Zhao Fei sighed. She thought she met all kinds of people in their circle, good and bad. But she never thought that Ran Xueyi was so smart and calculative that she could see through the overall situation and even planned an attack that would never be evaded by her prey.
"We just need to cut Director Zheng's and Gu Jiao's support then, everything will go as smoothly as I wanted it to be."
"That's true." Zhao Fei admitted that Ran Xueyi's method of revenge was very effective and intelligent.
Director Zheng's arrogance was all due to his wife's position as the Vice President of Brilliant Media. As for Gu Jiao, she was only able to shoot up to her current popularity because of the patron behind her back, helping her boost up her fame and get more endorsement deals.
Without these two people's support and help, would Director Zheng and Gu Jiao even be able to survive in the entertainment circle?
"Sister Zhao! Sister Ran!" Feng Huai pushed open the door to their hotel room and hurriedly stepped inside. His face was white as a sheet of paper and he took a huge gulp before exclaiming, "Not good! Gu Jiao, Director Zheng, and Producer Luo are trying to do something behind our backs again!"
Zhao Fei and Ran Xueyi looked at each other.
Zhao Fei asked him what he was talking about. Feng Huai immediately explained, "I just went out to buy our drinks when I overheard Gu Jiao's manager telling somebody to release a statement with them admitting that your contract with them will be terminated. They also planned to have a press conference and accuse you of defamation and threats."
"What?!" Zhao Fei slammed her hand that was holding the chopsticks on the table, making a loud clattering noise, "Defamation and threats? Do they actually have proof to back their accusations? This is really nonsense, who would believe them?!"
