Charlene frowned, her voice filled with obvious anxiety, and said, "But... this matter may not be over yet."

Emily just said that the internet is probably in an uproar and a lot of people might be cursing at me.

I'm worried that you might get involved.

Shi Ye raised an eyebrow, looked up at her, and said in a calm but inquisitive tone, "Are you afraid of being scolded, or are you afraid of being implicated?"

Charlene replied almost without hesitation, "It's okay if I get scolded, I don't want you to get involved."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye paused for a moment, his gaze deepening as he looked at her.

He never expected that she would have such concerns, especially since they were for his sake.

He immediately reassured her, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After saying that, he continued to clean the wound on his knee and apply medicine.

He then examined Charlene's ankle.

Because I twisted my ankle, and it's swollen.

Therefore, it was determined that massage was not possible for the time being, and the only option was to ask the production team for ice packs for cold compresses.

There is a large bruise on my calf. I need to massage it to make it heal faster.

Shino then grabbed Xia Lin's calf and began to help her.

Midway through, Lee Ji-eun came over after applying the medicine and saw this scene. She asked in a sharp tone, "What are you doing?"

Both Shino and Xia Lin were taken aback by this sudden question.

Both of them looked at her.

The former remained calm and said indifferently, "Can't you tell I'm treating injuries?"

Lee Ji-eun was taken aback upon hearing this.

Only then did she realize the truth of the matter.

Just now, as she was walking this way, still outside the tent, she heard Charlene's muffled groan.

That sound was so strange.

This made her feel a little suspicious.

Charlene merely glanced at her indifferently, her face expressionless, showing no intention of even greeting her.

Lee Ji-eun was still standing there, deliberately feigning concern, her tone full of insincere worry, and said in a soft voice, "So that's how it is, Xia Lin, you fell really badly!"

How can things be even more outrageous than what I, the victim, have experienced?

Charlene found this woman noisy and annoying, and didn't want to pay any attention to her, not even bothering to give her a glance.

Shi Ye spoke up, looking coldly at Li Zhi'en with a scrutinizing gaze, his tone calm yet unquestionable, "What victim? Li Zhi'en, please consider your words."

Only those who intentionally injure others can be considered victims.

Charlene accidentally fell and bumped into you, and apologized to you immediately.

Your statement could easily mislead others, making them think that she did it on purpose.

Besides, you yourself said that she didn't do it on purpose, right?

Lee Ji-eun's face froze instantly after Shi Ye said that.

She simply couldn't understand why, even though she had already given such obvious hints, he still insisted on protecting Xia Lin.

Unwilling to give up, she gritted her teeth and retorted, "Shi Ye, didn't you see that I was also injured?"

Why haven't you ever asked me a single question of concern?

Shi Ye was silent for a few seconds, then turned around, took a vial of medicine from Xia Lin's backpack, and handed it to her. "This is very effective for stopping bleeding and removing scars. Here, apply it!"

Lee Ji-eun noticed Shi-ye's perfunctory attitude.

Her inherent pride made her feel a tightness in her chest, and her emotions surged uncontrollably.

I was openly chasing after him, and everyone knew it, so why was he able to pretend to be stupid and turn a blind eye?

This mix of resentment and humiliation made her secretly determined to make him regret it.

Lee Ji-eun didn't take the bottle of medicine; instead, she left angrily.

Back in the tent, Lee Ji-eun immediately found her assistant and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation outside?"

The assistant replied, "It's quite chaotic. Your previous live stream did indeed cause controversy."

Your fans reacted particularly strongly, making a huge fuss and demanding an explanation from the production team.

I also hired people to fan the flames and keep the public opinion fermenting.

Lee Ji-eun snorted coldly, a resolute glint in her eyes, "Since that's the case, then let's add fuel to the fire and make it burn even brighter."

After saying that, she leaned closer to her assistant and whispered a few words in his ear.

The assistant nodded slightly. "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

……

Right now, the internet is indeed in an uproar, with various discussions rising and falling, and the popularity remains high.

In particular, many netizens are still discussing the controversy surrounding the live stream yesterday before it was suddenly cut off.

Everyone seemed confused and curious about what had happened.

"What exactly happened? Why was the live stream interrupted at such a crucial moment?"

"Obviously, the producers deliberately left suspense to keep you in suspense and keep you interested and speculating. That's why the ratings went up, isn't it?"

"That Charlene, you really can't judge a book by its cover! She's incredibly cunning."

"What the hell? You call her scheming? That's too hasty. It's been almost entirely Nika and Lee Ji-eun talking from beginning to end. Can their side of the story represent the whole picture? Who knows the real story?"

"Generally speaking, events that spark widespread discussion like this often have subsequent reversals. It's too early to draw conclusions now; let's wait and see."

"What nonsense about a plot twist! Stop fooling yourselves. It's obvious that Xia Lin is malicious and wicked. If it weren't for her, how could Zhi En have gotten hurt? It's clearly her fault!"

"Do you have any evidence? If so, list it out before you say that."

"Exactly, trying to convict someone based solely on words is completely unconvincing. They're just mindless internet addicts."

"You brainless internet addict, aren't you one of them? How dare you criticize others?"

"At least I'm clear-headed and can tell who's being pretentious and who's being malicious."

Online, the debate over this matter is intensifying, with fans on both sides sticking to their own arguments and refusing to back down.

Tokino's fans naturally defended Charlene.

After all, everyone knows how manipulative Lee Ji-eun has been along the way.

Moreover, the three of them left together, and when they came back, things were just like that.

Anyone with eyes can see that Lee Ji-eun and Nika are working together in concert.

This further convinced Tokino's fans that Charlene had been treated unfairly and that she was the real victim.

However, Lee Ji-eun's fans do not think so.

They felt that Lee Ji-eun had been bullied.

Out of their desire to protect their idols, they suddenly launched a large-scale campaign, flocking to the program's official platforms.

We strongly demand that the full screen recording of that live broadcast be made public.

If there was indeed intentional harm involved in the incident, then this is more than just an online controversy.

Rather, it may involve more serious moral or even legal issues, and is an unforgivable mistake.

They strongly opposed allowing such a person to continue appearing in the public eye, believing that a thorough investigation was necessary to provide a clear explanation to everyone.
