After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 457

Upon hearing this, the Lin family members became excited.

It wasn't agreement, but rather strong opposition.

"Absolutely not!" Lin Tianwu was startled and hurriedly said, "We've spread rumors about him before, but in the end, we only ended up shooting ourselves in the foot."

"With his current strength, he can easily expose us, and then we will face even more criticism."

"Yes, that little beast, he's not someone to spread rumors about." Zhang Xiufang gritted her teeth.

Even Zhang Xiufang, who is known for her fiery temper, objected, leaving Lin Ke'er with no choice but to sigh helplessly.

If Lin Ling doesn't make a mistake, they have absolutely no chance of winning.

They could only watch helplessly as the Lin Group declined under the pressure of public opinion.

Just then, Lin Keshan suddenly received a phone call.

"What?" she shrieked, her face filled with excitement. "You're not kidding me, are you? Really?"

"What? It's true? That's wonderful!"

"We can't let them get away with this. We must sue Lingyun Group until they're bankrupt and let everyone know their ugly face."

"What? What happened?" Upon hearing the words "Lingyun Group," Zhang Xiufang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and hurriedly patted Lin Keshan's shoulder.

"That's great, that's great!" Lin Keshan quickly hung up the phone. "We're saved. Our Lin Group won't go bankrupt."

"Perhaps we can reverse public opinion about us in one fell swoop, and even launch a fierce counterattack against Lingyun Group."

"What? What is it?" Lin Zhengguo asked impatiently, "Stop keeping me in suspense."

"Yes, Third Sister, tell me quickly." Hope rekindled in Lin Tianwu's eyes.

Lin Keshan took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, but still couldn't hide her excitement as she said, "Lingyun Group hired a singer to perform my song without my permission."

"They even used my song as the group's promotional song and promoted it in their offline physical stores."

"At the same time, a lot of advertising was invested in promoting that cover song."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into amazing cheers.

"What? You asked someone to cover the song without your permission, and even used it as a promotional song for your company?" Lin Tianwu's eyes widened, unable to believe the news was true.

Lin Zhengguo calmed down and coughed lightly, saying, "Ke Shan, this can't be fake, can it?"

"It's true, it's true! My agent has already sent me evidence." Lin Keshan excitedly opened the screenshots and videos sent by her agent.

Lin Zhengguo, Lin Tianwu, and Lin Ke'er couldn't wait to rush over. On the phone screen, they saw a clear promotional image of Lingyun Group's offline physical store.

A large screen at the store entrance was playing a cover version of Lin Keshan's song, with the Lingyun Group logo and slogan displayed next to it.

There are also screenshots of online advertisements, all using that song as background music and playing it on a loop.

"What? This cover song has actually made it into the top three on all the major music charts, even surpassing the popularity of the original creator, Third Sister!" Lin Tianwu exclaimed repeatedly, holding his phone.

The Lin family members were all shocked when they heard this.

"How is that possible? A pirated copy outperforms the original? Isn't that going against the natural order?"

"That's right, Mingming's singing is so good, and she released it first, how could it be worse than the pirated version?"

"The main reason is that Lingyun Group is rich and powerful, and it used money to artificially inflate the popularity of pirated songs."

Lin Keshan's face was horribly ugly. She slammed her hand on the table and roared, "How could Lin Ling, that bitch, be so despicable?"

"It's obvious he can't stand seeing others do well. My songs were just starting to gain some traction, and he started targeting me."

"Come on, Tianwu, play the song for us."

"I want to see how well this bitch who did the cover sings it!"

She was very confident; her voice and appearance perfectly matched the song, and no one could sing it better than her.

The reason why pirated songs can become popular is entirely due to the large amount of marketing expenses invested by Lingyun Group.
