Am I the only one who remembers that someone was locked up in the secret room?

[Forget it, don't worry about it anymore, I'm not scared at all now!]

Finally, after opening the secret passage, the mystery of the ghost's identity was revealed.

The ghost's mind was awakened by a specific item representing its identity, the school's secrets were revealed, and the principal and other culprits received their due punishment.

When the group came out of the secret room, they looked completely different from when they went in, full of youthful energy.

The most different one was Lu Yuan, whose sportswear even had two large tears in it.

The further away from the original environment Lu Liruan was from, the clearer the indescribable feeling in her heart became, leaving her at a loss for what to do with her hands and feet.

She stood next to Cheng Nianzhi without even realizing it, keeping her neck stiff and not looking in Cheng Nianzhi's direction.

When the host came to interview him, he didn't seem to care about making things worse and shoved the microphone right in front of Cheng Nianzhi.

"Thank you, Li Ruan, for taking care of me and protecting me. It makes me feel very safe." Cheng Nianzhi said as she raised her hand to tie her hair back up.

The hair tie was clenched between his teeth, and the squinting curve of his eyes exuded a sense of satisfaction.

[Okay, stop showing off. Being love-struck is terrifying.]

[Alright, alright, you've completely fooled your beautiful wife, Cheng Nianzhi. What a terrifying man!]

[Tea's dead! Tea's dead! Where do you even put your audience? We called Li Ruan "wife" a few times, and you really think of us as competitors?]

While sitting in the car, Cheng Nianzhi leaned close to Lu Liruan's ear and said, "Liruan, let's come play together again next time~"

"I'll never play with you again, don't worry." Lu Liruan raised her hand to cover her face, missing Cheng Nianzhi's teasing and sly expression.

The escape room segment was very successful, and for someone like Lu Yuan, it provided a lifetime's worth of laughs.

As for Lu Zheng, he earned a new nickname: the bravest person.

Lu Liruan thought this week would pass peacefully, but it was only Tuesday when she woke up to find that her "dirt" was already at the top of the trending search list.

Even though Lu Liruan has recently gained popularity and a good reputation, she definitely doesn't have that much influence; there must be someone pushing her from behind.

The scandal was exposed by Yan Ke. Since being cut off by the company, he had been treated like a rat in the street. Unexpectedly, after disappearing for a while, he suddenly made a comeback.

He released evidence that Lu Liruan was being kept by someone, but it wasn't even that; she was exchanging her body for resources.

He portrayed himself as someone who was helping Lu Liruan, that everything was Lu Liruan's doing, and that Lu Liruan even introduced this path to his other artists.

Then, once they gained a little fame, they wanted to get rid of me, so they pushed all the dirty work onto me.

According to his account, Lu Liruan was able to get the resources for this variety show because she slept with Mr. Wang, the investor.

Anyway, Lu Liruan came to this show to curry favor with Lu Zheng. Who knows what methods she used? In any case, she probably wouldn't dare to make a big fuss about it.

Yan Ke's intention was to make Lu Liruan suffer in silence, while also subtly implying:

The conflict between Lu Zheng and Lu Liruan stemmed from Lu Zheng's attempt to dissuade Lu Liruan from her actions, which Lu Liruan deliberately misinterpreted.

Because Lu Zheng didn't want to create hype with Lu Liruan, he completely offended her, which led to Lu Liruan smearing him on the show.

[A plot twist! A plot twist! I knew Lu Liruan, that bitch, was deliberately bullying Zhengzheng!]

Our Zhengzheng has been wronged!

[Lu Liruan is such a slut, she's utterly rotten. Can't she just get out of the entertainment industry?!]

In an instant, Lu Zheng's fans and the general public flocked to the scene, causing a huge surge in online traffic.

Those who like Lu Liruan are also anxious.

Unexpectedly, they were only anxious for less than half a day.

After getting up, Lu Liruan saw her own scandalous posts and calmly went downstairs to have breakfast.

He was the only one in the villa at the moment. The director beckoned her over: "How can you still be eating? Haven't you seen what people are saying about you online?"

After spending time with her, the director realized that Lu Liruan was definitely not that kind of person.

"I'll have the strength to beat them up after I've eaten my fill..." Lu Liruan said casually, but anyone could tell she was angry; her pretty face was taut.

Lu Liruan never thought that someone like Yan Ke would let things go so easily. In the past few days, she has organized all the useful things that could prove Yan Ke's actions according to the timeline.

They even dug out records from several years ago from the cloud drive, which were all about being watertight.

After checking the layout, Lu Liruan forwarded Yan Ke's Weibo post: "I have already preserved the evidence. You wait, I'll borrow money to sue you until you're rotting in jail."

Then Lu Liruan followed the popularity ranking.

These are some of the marketing accounts that spread the word the fastest and use the most disgusting language.

You should come in too.

And you, I wonder if I can get a discount if I sue more.

You're making it sound so convincing, so what? You're living under my bed?

Reverse, reverse, reverse your big head!

The speed of the hot transfer slowed down noticeably after Lu Liruan started speaking.

But some people continue to spread rumors.

Lu Liruan continued: Forgot about you, huh? None of you will escape!

Wow... such hardcore anti-black tactics! I've witnessed firsthand what it means for one person to be an army.

My wife is truly full of martial spirit.

[Seriously! How can anyone still believe that manager who ruined so many artists? People who jump to conclusions without any independent judgment are accomplices in cyberbullying!]

[Is my wife really that poor? Waaaaah, I hope we won't lose the case because we don't have the money?]

Yan Ke and the marketing accounts he bought were also completely stunned. They didn't expect Lu Liruan's counterattack to be so quick. There were no long essays or emotional appeals; she presented evidence point by point.

Yan Ke was so angry he was grinding his teeth in frustration. Several marketing accounts said they would delete their posts because they couldn't withstand the pressure anymore.

"Bitch! Bitch! Damn it!" Yan Ke hadn't finished cursing when he received a phone call.

"Who the hell did you offend? The Fu family is putting pressure on you! The Cheng family is here too! What grudge do you have against the Cheng family?"

"I don't know the Cheng family!"

"The Cheng family is even more powerful than the Fu family. If we're finished, you're finished too, damn it!" the other side roared in despair.

"Let's post it on the official Weibo account," the director said to his assistant.

Soon, the production team came out to refute the rumors about Lu Liruan: it was the director who took the initiative to invite Lu Liruan to participate in the show, and she had nothing to do with any Mr. Wang. The show does not have any investor with the surname Wang!

Less than two minutes after the program team posted the Weibo post, something even stranger happened.

Mr. Wang, who was criticized in the harsh essay, has actually spoken out, and even released a video.

In the video, a bald man with a large belly wearing a suit keeps wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He carefully and firmly clarified that he and Lu Liruan had absolutely no relationship, and admitted that he had taken the initiative to get to know Lu Liruan, but Lu Liruan had clearly rejected him.

"Ms. Lu is an artist with strong principles. Here, I sincerely apologize for my past disrespect and offense towards Ms. Lu. I hope Ms. Lu can be magnanimous and forgive me!"

He bowed deeply, his entire face turning a dark brown.

I've seen comments saying that the small world is too long. The outline of this world was prepared before the story started. I only made a detailed outline and didn't estimate the exact word count, so I crammed in a lot of plot.

I really like this story, so this little world will still be written according to the original plan.

The word count for the later parts will be carefully calculated, and the length of the outline will be adjusted. If any readers find this story verbose, they can skip it for now.

Thank you everyone for your feedback. (bows)
