Novel Bin Chapter 970 - Stupid People Will Always Be Stupid
Chapter 970: Stupid People Will Always Be Stupid
The harder the public stepped on Lin Nuannow… the better the effect would be when the evidence was released! Fang Yan knew this from her many years of experience in the industry!
With the celebrities she managed in the past, the harsher the criticism they faced in the beginning, the more popular they became later on!
She believed that after the release of “Eagles on the Sea” and this incident, Lin Nuan would have a very positive image as one of the country’s leading artists!
Just as Fang Yan predicted, many people read through the information on Chu Xun and discovered what happened to her back then. They concluded that since Chu Xun went to Iraq back then and Fu Huai’an went to Iraq to rescue someone, wouldn’t this be the story of what happened between the two of them?
They felt that since the male lead was replaced with Fu Huai’an, the female lead should be replaced with Chu Xun. It didn’t matter that both of them weren’t professional actors since the story was originally about them.
On the other hand, someone remarked that no matter how excellent Chu Xun was, she was shameless enough to seduce someone’s husband despite knowing that he was already married. Not long had passed since the video was leaked. Did everyone forget about it already? What right did someone like her have to appear on the silver screen and be in the spotlight?
When Chu Jiaoyang saw this Weibo post, she jumped out to say that she was Chu Xun’s cousin and that Chu Xun was indeed rescued by Fu Huai’an when she was gathering news in Iraq. The two of them had also remained in touch all these years. Many people knew that Chu Xun owed a debt of gratitude to Fu Huai’an, and because of this, the Chu family helped Fu Huai’an a lot when he was the president of the Kaide Corporation. If not for Lin Nuan, Chu Xun could have already been married to him.
Later on, someone laid out when Chu Xun was in Iraq gathering news on human trafficking, when the news of her rescue was reported, and when news of the evacuation of Chinese nationals was reported. It was as if the truth had been revealed—the plot of “Eagles on the Sea” was actually about Fu Huai’an and Chu Xun!
The netizens had received such a huge piece of information. They suddenly understood everything. No wonder Chu Xun confessed to Fu Huai’an after getting drunk—the two of them had a history together!
The love triangle between Fu Huai’an, Lin Nuan, and Chu Xun was getting more and more complicated!
Someone even speculated that Fu Huai’an was in love with both Chu Xun and Lin Nuan at the same time but chose Lin Nuan in the end because they had a child together. If not for the child, he could have chosen Chu Xun…
Fang Yan told Su Manman and the other people who’d always rush to defend Lin Nuan the moment she met with trouble not to post on Weibo. She said she had evidence that she would release when the situation got the most heated to prove those keyboard warriors wrong.
Despite this, Su Manman couldn’t help but post on Weibo…
[@Su Manman: Stupid people will always be stupid. I won’t even bother to scold you all!]
Just as the online fighting was getting out of hand, Fang Yan called the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily, who was Chu Xun’s former assistant…
Fang Yan mentioned how the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily once said at a dinner that Chu Xun took away the materials Lin Nuan gave him and fabricated a story about her going deep into the terrorists’ territory to gather news on human trafficking on the black market! She hoped he would come out to explain this…
Fang Yan still remembered how the drunk deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily said with reddened eyes that the incident weighed on his mind as if there was a huge stone in his heart!
Everyone talked about how he became the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily at such a young age and was about to become the youngest chief editor of Haicheng Daily! But there was never a day where he didn’t feel uncomfortable with his title. This was his never-ending feeling of guilt towards Lin Nuan!
That award should have gone to Lin Nuan. He took away something that belonged to Lin Nuan and exchanged it for money and his future. The rest of his life… He was going to spend it living in guilt.
Fang Yan told him, “This is a chance for you to overcome that sense of guilt, for you to live more calmly and peacefully… What do you say?”
After a moment of silence, the deputy chief editor of Haicheng Daily replied over the phone, “I understand what you’re trying to say. Let… let me think about it…”
Fang Yan expected him to give such an answer.
Suddenly announcing a secret to the public that he had kept buried at the bottom of his heart for so many years was going to be stressful for him.
Fang Yan was neither anxious nor irritated. She casually played with the sign pen beside her and said slowly, “I still have other pieces of evidence with me. If you still don’t plan to tell the truth by tomorrow night local time, I’ll release the evidence I have. By then, you’ll have missed a chance… to let yourself lead a life free of any burdens!”
Only hearing heavy breathing from the other end of the line, Fang Yan continued, “More importantly, if you tell the truth now, Lin Nuan and I will be grateful to you. Lin Nuan has a husband like Fu Huai’an and our agency. With my connections… your future will be even brighter than it is now. What do you say?”
This question couldn’t be easier to answer. Fang Yan’s last sentence didn’t have a single ounce of malice in it. Everyone was smart, so how would he be unable to tell?
If he still didn’t say the word, with how protective Fu Huai’an was towards Lin Nuan, while he wouldn’t trip him up, for any future matters that involved the deputy chief editor, so long as Fu Huai’an spoke up, his future would be affected.
However, if he stepped out to tell the truth, he wouldn’t only get rid of his emotional baggage, but he would also receive help from Fang Yan and even Fu Huai’an.
But he did indeed receive money and other benefits from Chu Xun. Would he really not be denounced if he did this?
After getting to where he was today, he was more concerned about his reputation than anything else…
If word about this got out, his reputation would definitely suffer.
“I wasn’t the only one who heard what you said at dinner that day. If you aren’t willing to step out and tell the truth now, it probably won’t end well for you if someone else does…” Fang Yan chuckled and continued, “There’s still time, so think about it! It’s pretty late over here in Morocco, so I’ll go to bed first!”
Fang Yan was always prepared when doing things, and as a result, she wasn’t flustered at all. Her relaxed state actually made the other party even more flustered…
Exposing the truth earlier wasn’t a bad thing. When everyone realized that Chu Xun only infiltrated the terrorists’ territory and that Lin Nuan was the one who found the evidence of human trafficking, the audience would then naturally associate Lan Yu, the reporter in “Eagles on the Sea,” with Lin Nuan.
This time, Lin Nuan’s public image would be more solidified.
…
Right after Lin Nuan arrived at the set the next morning, she heard that the male lead was sick and still at the hotel.
