Chapter 646: Chapter 4: Retribution Is Inescapable, The Aftermath
Who would have thought, even the luckiest have their down moments.
Xiao Kai never expected that going to the bar for a rare bit of fun would lead to a scam like this. Even though he was very cautious, he still fell into the trap. He quickly contacted his current agent, who complained about having to deal with such a mess as soon as he took over. In the end, they secretly went to the police station, paid to settle it, and finally got Xiao Kai out.
Xiao Kai also thought of himself as unlucky and reimbursed the agent for the money he spent.
Thinking that this was just a bit of bad luck, secretly handling it wouldn’t have any repercussions, after all, a lot of hush money was involved and the new agent was experienced enough to ensure nothing would happen.
But who knew the reality gave Xiao Kai a harsh wake-up call the next day.
He was trending!
Of course, it wasn’t good news.
It was about the incident at the police station the night before, with the whole story detailed, Xiao Kai’s name was proudly displayed under the Sui City police’s official Weibo, with the post having over two hundred thousand likes, trending at number fourteen on the hot search list.
The heat was continuously rising.
Xiao Kai felt a chill from head to toe.
The messages popping up from the Weibo app were almost bombarding him.
Top comment one: [Soliciting?? A thousand words, only four: the circle is really messy!]
Top comment two: [In my impression, Xiao Kai always came across as a shy, quiet boy on screen. Damn, you really can’t judge a book by its cover.]
[I think everyone’s attacking too soon. Haven’t you forgotten the recent incident with Chi Yu? He was trashed badly and then it took a huge turn, those bashers who got slapped are already forgetting how it felt?]
[Let’s see how the person involved responds, I think there could definitely be a turn of events later.]
[But this was posted by the official Weibo, without a direct tag, but still like calling out, I don’t think it’s fake.]
[Damn, Xiao Kai’s image is completely shattered in my mind, celebrities really do have filters, once broken, it’s really unbearable.]
[Soliciting, I truly didn’t expect! Although it’s posted by the official, let’s see the outcome, if true, it’s probably over.]
Xiao Kai finished reading the Weibo and felt like he had been hit over the head, dumbfounded.
Realizing belatedly that all he saw was true, he exited the Weibo app and dialed his new agent’s number.
First time, no answer.
Second time, no answer.
Third time, it was picked up slowly, the voice on the other end was impatient, asked, "What is it?"
"Brother Jiang, last night’s incident got exposed, you have to help me, only you can." The new agent was Jiang Wei, Xiao Kai usually called him Brother Jiang.
Jiang Wei snorted, "Wait a bit, no rush."
"Wait? Wait for what?" Xiao Kai was furious, "If it’s not dealt with, it will greatly impact me."
Such a scandal can’t be dragged on or handled coldly, it must be clarified and the image restored immediately, or it’s game over.
A voice full of sarcasm came through the phone from Jiang Wei: "This matter is troublesome, it’s not something I can handle, figure it out yourself."
After saying that, not waiting for Xiao Kai to say more, he hung up directly.
Xiao Kai: "..."
How should such a scandal be handled?
He’s nearly broke, poured a lot of money into it recently, doing PR himself would probably not be affordable.
Just as Xiao Kai was at his wit’s end, more trouble followed.
Besides the high popularity of his scandal on Weibo, there was another hot search related to him—
#Calling each other brothers, discussing Xiao Kai’s double-faced nature!!#
Xiao Kai nervously clicked, and after seeing the content of that Weibo, almost fainted.
Idol Ugly Picture Appreciation V: [How does Xiao Kai still have two faces? Pretending to be friendly, supporting Chi Yu during a public storm, but privately cursing and slandering Chi Yu while gaming. Here’s the video recording of the game page...]
’Damn! I’m finally taking off!’
’I kicked Chi Yu out of my way, the broad road is mine.’
’Chi Yu’s downfall, isn’t that something to be proud of?’
’A pretty boy who relies on connections for roles, all his fans are a bunch of brainless fools, hahaha.’
’What’s Chi Yu anyway? He’s definitely done for this time.’
’Why do I know he’s done for? Haha, of course I know...’
Each sentence in the recording was something Xiao Kai said to his teammates while playing games.
Moreover, the evidence to confirm the authenticity of this recording was Xiao Kai having tagged that teammate on Weibo back then, thus gaining a bit of goodwill, many fans followed him for his gaming skills, some artists even drew him pictures and such...
But now, all of these have become evidence to indict his crimes.
Xiao Kai’s phone slipped from his hand, fell to the ground, while he shook, on the brink of collapse; he didn’t know what "reaping what one sows" meant, he only knew he was completely finished...
