However, overall, other fans were relatively rational.

But the public opinion still couldn't stop them, and people rushed to ask: "Sister Jenny, Sister Charlene, is it true that she's not Shi Ye's biological sister?"

Jenny didn't know the specifics either, so she quickly contacted the club for answers.

The club truthfully informed Jenny that "there is indeed no family relationship. The original plan was to arrange for Shi Ye's younger sister to appear on the show."

However, because the younger sister was too busy with her studies, she couldn't find the time and had to ask her best friend to attend on her behalf.

However, Xia Lin's family and the Shi Ye family are acquainted; they've always been close and have a good relationship, so she can be considered like a younger sister to them!

Jenny was quite surprised when she learned the truth.

But then I realized that this was not something I could say directly.

Because once detailed explanations are provided, it is easy for malicious individuals to seize upon them and make them the focus of attacks.

After all, they are in the racing industry, and they don't have the sophisticated methods of denying rumors that the entertainment industry does.

The fans are also scattered, lacking organization and cohesion, and even less experience in dealing with public opinion storms.

Therefore, it is very difficult to extricate oneself from this media storm.

Jenny was a little exasperated, so she asked, "So what are the club's plans and countermeasures going forward?"

The club itself was also completely baffled.

They never expected that simply participating in a program would cause so much trouble and controversy.

Currently, the club is holding an emergency meeting with the owner to discuss how to deal with this unexpected situation.

Jenny was somewhat speechless about this, but she could understand the club's perspective.

After all, this is probably the first time they've encountered something like this.

To appease the fans, Jenny sent a message in the group chat, saying, "Shiye is worth your love. He's not the kind of person people talk about online."

As for those rumors, the club will take action to deal with them.

Currently, everyone should remain calm, not easily believe unverified information, and even more so, not blindly spread rumors.

Everything is subject to the club's official announcement and subsequent handling results.

Jenny's words eased the atmosphere in the group chat somewhat.

Although fans are still somewhat worried, they have at least seen some positive responses, which has calmed them down a bit.

But in reality, Jenny was not at all at ease.

If the team cannot come up with an effective response strategy as soon as possible, the two of them will probably be bombarded with criticism online.

Moreover, if the situation gets out of control, the two may be expelled from the show.

……

Meanwhile, at the school.

Marcy had just finished what she was doing when she overheard several senior students from the research institute discussing the matter.

"Isn't Xia Lin a good person? When we met before, she seemed to have a nice personality and was very sincere."

"Of course we know she's a good person, but the problem is that those people online don't really know her at all."

I just said a few words in defense of her in the comments section, and I was immediately attacked with insults, including curses directed at her ancestors.

Just then, one of them waved to Ma Xi and shouted, "Hey, Shi Yang, come quick! Xia Lin is in trouble!"

Marcy had spent the entire day in the lab and hadn't had a chance to check her phone, so she had no idea what was going on.

She moved closer and asked, "What do you think happened to Xia Lin?"

The senior handed her his phone, saying, "You'll understand once you see it."

Marcy leaned closer to take a look.

Only then did they realize that a massive wave of online abuse was sweeping through the internet, targeting Shi Ye and Xia Lin.

Marcy was very surprised and confused.

If I remember correctly, she checked the live stream this morning before going into the lab, and there were quite a few positive reviews.

How could public opinion have completely reversed in just a few hours, turning into an overwhelming barrage of accusations and attacks?

When she got home, Marcy turned on her phone again to get more details about the situation.

She reviewed the video clips released by the program team and read the so-called "revelations" and comments, becoming increasingly angry as she read.

Zhou Si had just returned from get off work and immediately noticed Marcy's sullen expression. He asked with concern, "What happened?"

Marcy handed him her phone, pointing to the screen and excitedly explaining the details.

Finally, she stated firmly, "Charlene is not that kind of person; this is clearly a setup."

The production team deliberately released this kind of video with the beginning and end cut off, isn't it just to incite conflict and create topics?

What did they take the guests for? They were so irresponsible!

Zhou Si glanced at his phone, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "The reason is simple. The production team probably thinks that the two of them don't have any background or status."

It's likely that from the very beginning, they were given a cannon fodder role, deliberately creating buzz and sacrificing their image to boost ratings.

This practice is commonplace in the production of variety shows today.

The appearance of this video was also quite suspicious.

At first, Lee Ji-eun didn't want to follow, but then, by sheer coincidence, the photographer went over and managed to capture the whole scene of Xia Lin pushing the other person into the water.

They even said this was unedited?

At this point, Zhou Si couldn't help but shake his head, a hint of doubt and sarcasm on his face.

He casually forwarded the video to the company's technical department, asking them to check if there was any editing involved.

Marcy saw what he was doing but did not say anything to stop him.

Instead, she took his arm affectionately and said with concern, "Xia Lin is going to the show in my place. I can't just stand by and watch her be framed and scolded like this."

Do you have any ideas on how to stop this public outcry from escalating as quickly as possible?

Charlene's phone has been confiscated, so she can't see anything.

When they finally get their phones back and witness such public opinion, they probably won't be able to handle it.

It was already difficult enough for her to pursue Shi Ye Ge; she had to be very restrained, yet she was still subjected to such nasty insults by those people.

She didn't want to hurt her best friend's feelings.

Seeing the worry in her eyes, Zhou Si couldn't help but kiss her lips, stealing a sweet kiss.

He then softened his tone, speaking with a reassuring tone, "Don't worry, Luo Ou has an entertainment company that can step in and guide public opinion."

He paused briefly, a sly glint in his eyes, and then slowly said, "However... there is a more direct and effective way."

"what?"

Marcy pressed for more information.

Zhou Si raised the corners of his lips, as if he were smiling, "I'll make a call first, wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he took out his phone and dialed his assistant's number.

……

Meanwhile, Shino and Xia Lin were unaware of the bloody storm brewing outside.

After they finished bandaging themselves, they waited quietly for the other groups to return so they could continue filming the rest of the show.
