Once the seeds of doubt are sown, the collapse of trust is only a matter of time.

In particular, there have long been rumors about the various misdeeds of the "Big Three," but since there were no specific victims, people just let it go after hearing about it.

A wrongful conviction that has been pending for eleven years.

Bribing media reporters to manipulate public opinion, law enforcement agencies offering and accepting bribes, fabricating chains of evidence, framing and framing others... a litany of crimes, stained with blood.

Public opinion is like hot oil that has been boiled by a ladle of water.

Legal influencers even posted videos late at night.

When our laws can be so abused, when prisons become tools for excluding dissidents and forming cliques, when the justice we firmly believe in is trampled upon at will, how can we not be angry?

In the video, this legal heavyweight with 4500 million followers across the internet said something that instantly brought the rationality of those who stayed up late to gossip to zero.

These people bombarded the official websites of the "Big Three" late at night.

Even more thoughtful individuals have revealed the names of the three major shareholders and executives in the comments section of the popular post.

Now that's great. Anyone who opens an account on a blog is receiving a barrage of abusive private messages every second.

The "Big Three" companies, who have long been adept at using cyberbullying, have finally reaped the consequences. Some humorists jokingly remarked that the negative comments they received that night exceeded the total amount they've received in the half-century since they founded and operated their companies.

The next morning, those who woke up and started browsing their phones were completely bewildered to find: What happened? Why did the blog crash again? What happened last night?

Fortunately, major search engines, browsers, and mobile apps have all seized the opportunity to capitalize on the viral trend.

Various news pop-ups quickly brought even early-to-bed, early-to-rise babies a taste of lukewarm gossip.

Fang Ruoxi didn't sleep all night, and most of the people in the eleventh-floor administration building of Lighthouse Entertainment didn't sleep either.

Since the legal expert on the blog made his statement, most people have been in an unusually high state of mind, able to keep going for three days and three nights without caffeine.

However, Fang Ruoxi did not intend to open the champagne halfway through.

She blew on the steam rising from her coffee. "Hmm, it's about time. Release the news that T country customs has detained Zou Rong."

"After the public outcry subsides, we'll find marketing accounts to spread the news that Zoujia Shipping was maliciously detained and its cargo was held up."

Fang Ruoxi kept a clear record of everything in her mind.

No one will be left behind, and no one can escape.

On the second day of the "information war," at 10:00 a.m., the official account of the police in District C of the capital issued a notice announcing the formal opening of an investigation into the case of "Geng" being framed.

The onlookers were overjoyed and spread the news among themselves.

Fang Ruoxi was also surprised when she saw the news. She didn't expect that after eleven years, the authorities would still open a case and reopen the case files.

buzzing.

Fang Ruoxi's phone vibrated. She took it out to look at it, then quickly walked out of the office area.

"Hello, Dr. B."

On the other end of the phone, Dr. B greeted me in broken Mandarin, followed by a rap with an excessive number of F-words.

Fang Ruoxi's ears automatically filtered out those censored words, and to sum it up, the news that Tianyin Records had run into trouble had just been reported by the 'Financial Daily' of Country A.

But at night, everyone who plays the stock market goes crazy, all waiting to sell their Tianyin shares when the market opens the next day.

Tianyin is doomed.

Of course, Dr. B doesn't play the stock market, nor would he bother Fang Ruoxi with secondhand information.

"My friend, I've decided to surprise you. Guess where I am right now? Haha~ That's right, I'm at the airport. So, let's meet at the airport in 11 hours. I have a 'big surprise' for you. Trust me, my dear friend, you'll love this 'gift'!"

Fang Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Dr. B's sudden enthusiasm is not surprising. Considering the timeline, the remake of Titanic should have already created a huge wave in Country A's film market.

Country A's film industry has long monopolized global box office revenue, yet this sector boasts some of the strongest barriers to entry. A few major film companies hold a firm grip, making everyone who wants to make money in this industry extremely envious.

The success of Director Liu's film was tantamount to punching a hole in this solid 'barrier,' and Dr. B came looking for it by 'smelling the scent.'

The next hour was almost entirely a winning game.

At noon, Tianyin's official account closed the comment section. Lighthouse erupted in cheers, their joy as if they'd received an extra half of their year-end bonus.

Fang Ruoxi directly ordered Ronghengji Private Kitchen, a nearby restaurant. The two-star restaurant, which cost 2000 yuan per person, made the Lighthouse employees very happy, and the fatigue from working all night disappeared.

In the afternoon, employees were divided into three shifts, taking turns going upstairs to rest. Cell phones were still handed in and could not be retrieved, and employees were not allowed to leave the company premises.

At 2 PM, the official Tianyin account posted the following message: "The innocent are innocent, and a righteous person casts a righteous shadow." and tagged the official account of the C District Police Station.

The people at the lighthouse were so angry they laughed when they saw it.

If they hadn't presented one piece of solid evidence after another, we would have almost been fooled by Tianyin's aloof attitude.

But clearly, some netizens believed it.

[Let's just drop this. If it were really as incredible as those marketing accounts make it out to be, how could they be so confident? Making such assertive statements even after an investigation has been launched? Alright, this is just another case of trash trying to whitewash themselves. Everyone, go to sleep.]

Goodness, this is all so confusing! Is this going to be a plot twist?

Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. Tianyin has produced so many kings and queens of pop, how come everyone else is fine, except for that 'Geng guy'? Ha, those who know, know.

……

Public opinion has rebounded from its lowest point.

Several senior executives at Lighthouse held an emergency meeting to discuss how to respond. However, shortly after they entered the meeting room, another wave of controversy erupted online.

"Holy crap???"

"What's going on?? Is Tianyin self-destructing?"

"A competitor attacking? Or is it dog-eat-dog fighting?"

Immediately, a team leader knocked on the conference room door and went in to report crucial intelligence.

"President Fang, several artists under Tianyin have been exposed for scandals." The team leader, thinking about the various scandals, briefly lost his ability to speak.

Fang Ruoxi took out her phone and glanced at it. Even someone as composed as her couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

All I can say is... even before the Lunar New Year, when paparazzi were scrutinizing each other's performance and entertainment companies were tearing each other apart, it wasn't this lively.

The rumors are endless: a famous love song prince is secretly married, a diva was caught having sex with ten male prostitutes at a nightclub, a well-known singer known for his kindness is accused of domestic violence against his wife... It's all so dazzling, and the scandals keep popping up one after another.

"Whoa~ Who did Tianyin offend? Hahaha, this is practically Gatling gun fire, there are hardly any survivors." Wang Liping was as happy as a badger in a melon patch.

"Not necessarily. It's also possible that Tianyin orchestrated this themselves, sacrificing a pawn to save the king. If the company is gone, these long-term employees who signed contracts are useless anyway, so they might as well expose themselves here to divert public attention. Maybe they can kill two birds with one stone and save the company." Minister Wang analyzed, stroking his chin.

Fang Ruoxi only asked, "What about the netizens' reactions?"

The team leader who came in to report said, "It's not clear yet. We need to wait at least one or two hours before we can make a judgment based on the big data."

Fang Ruoxi nodded.

"Don't let the other side disrupt your rhythm. Let's call it a day. Only one team will stay to monitor online public opinion. The rest of you can go upstairs and rest."

Everyone: "???"

Wang Liping was a little confused.

Minister Wang was even more afraid that Fang Ruoxi would give unsolicited advice, saying, "Hey! President Fang, this propaganda war must be fought with unwavering determination, to the very end. We can't afford to let our guard down!"

"This matter involving Tianyin may not be so easily transferred. Moreover, I don't think this is Tianyin's doing."

Fang Ruoxi's expression was somewhat strange.

……

Wei's Entertainment, top tier.

The phone in the CEO's office was ringing off the hook.

Wei Wenzhe swung his club, the golf ball went straight ahead, and then perfectly missed the hole.

He walked to his desk, cursing, then yanked the phone line out, and the office returned to silence.

Wei Wenzhe loosened his arm joints, adjusted his posture, and swung a perfect shot again. Then, the white ball once again 'brushed past' the hole.

Buzz!

Wei Wenzhe's phone vibrated like a massage gun.

He pulled out his phone in an annoyed tone, "Hey! Are you trying to kill me, you crazy woman?"

A sharp, piercing scream came from the other side, almost puncturing Wei Wenzhe's eardrum.

"Wei Wenzhe!! You filthy bastard dog!!"

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Wei Wenzhe's face instantly turned ferocious. "You bitch, you're asking for death?"

"Ha! Come on! Let's see who kills whom!"

Hearing the Zhang family's "pearl" screaming and cursing hysterically, Wei Wenzhe was no longer angry. He turned his face as easily as flipping through a book and laughed loudly, propping his golf club with one hand.

"Miss Zhang, you're doing the first day of the month, and I'm doing the fifteenth. What, are you allowed to light a lamp but I'm not allowed to set a fire?"

"Let me tell you, anyone who dares to scheme against me, Wei Wenzhe, I'll scatter your ashes to the wind!"

Zhang Hanyu's voice was trembling with anger.

"You idiot, you idiot... The reason why the three major powers have achieved their current status is entirely because we have always stood united against external enemies!"

"How could the Wei family have fallen into the hands of a filthy bastard like you? If the three great families are ever destroyed, it will all be your fault, you piece of trash, you bastard!"

Wei Wenzhe laughed in exasperation and hung up the phone immediately.

"Damn it, keep releasing dirt on Tianyin. You bitch, just die."

That night, netizens felt like it was New Year's Day.

That night, Tianyin felt as if her mother had died.

That night, the lighthouse was like a rollercoaster ride.

The next morning, when he checked his phone, everyone at Lighthouse was relieved. Brother Wang summarized in the group chat:

[Originally, I thought last night that Tianyin (the music platform) would have to kneel down to those disgraced performers to thank them for saving their lives. But just now, I saw that, haha, it's those disgraced performers who are kneeling down [doge emoji].]

Fang Ruoxi replied with three dots.

Wow! You're up so early! I haven't seen you come downstairs yet. I bought a lot of breakfast, come and eat!

Fang Ruoxi: [On the way to the airport.]

She thought for a moment and added two more words: "[Pick someone up.]"
