Chapter 379: You seek your revenge, and I protect my flaws.

Yan Ziqing and Han Hao loaded the responsibility onto Binbin, so they provided her with a new assistant and also a car for her.

The new assistant was a long-term lurker on various entertainment forums, wearing high-prescription glasses, constantly holding a phone, and keeping an eye on Binbin’s reputation and data online.

When the two returned home at night, the new assistant didn’t know how to approach Binbin, so he showed her a photo he had seen on the forum, handed Binbin the phone, and said, "Binbin, someone posted a sighting of An Lan near bar street, apparently accompanying a client. Look at this photo, does it look like her?"

Binbin indeed became interested, took the phone, and then saw the photo, a girl in a black dress, nestled in the arms of a man while wearing a fisherman’s hat.

The girl was being embraced around the shoulders by the man, behaving intimately with him, but her full face was obscured because of the fisherman’s hat.

Yet, even just this half-face looked incredibly like An Lan, particularly resembling her in certain features.

"Is there a front view photo?" Binbin asked.

"No, but everyone on the forum says it’s her," the assistant said, "I didn’t expect her to be in such a dire state now."

After hearing this, Binbin handed the phone back and said, "Serves her right for overestimating herself. Spread the photo around, splash more mud on her, let’s see how she turns it around. Also, send me a copy, I want to show it to Director Yan."

How could such a thing end up in Yan Ziqing’s hands and be let go?

"Han Hao, you know what to do, right?" Yan Ziqing handed the photo to Han Hao and said.

Therefore, the next morning the topic #An Lan’s Romance Exposed# went viral.

In the trending topic, the photo resembling An Lan was posted on a popular Weibo account, causing netizens to exclaim how spicy it was.

@Xia Jie: "Does it have to fall this low? Any man will do?"

@Rich Sister: "What exactly happened to An Lan?"

@ZS Peace and Joy: "So spicy, it’s really too spicy for the eyes, really unnecessary."

@39.5 Degrees: "By comparison, Binbin is simply an angel, I now understand why the pop king has been suppressing An Lan, because she’s really too sordid."

And once more, Binbin found her presence in this trending topic.

This sudden incident caught Shi Lan just after she had gotten up and finished washing.

Tang Ze called her, asking her to pay attention to the trending search, as this scandal popping up suddenly was very likely orchestrated by the pop king.

Shi Lan opened her phone, took a look, and then told Tang Ze, "You handle Peak’s matters, don’t worry about mine."

"But Yan Ziqing has already bullied you to this extent."

"Is that all?"

Today was the day the Miss and Director Yan were moving, and unexpectedly, someone came over early in the morning creating trouble.

Yan Shixiu was finally enjoying a lazy morning in bed, Shi Lan glanced towards the bedroom, then put down her cup, snapped a few photos, and went online to Weibo.

@An Lan: "Have you grown eyes yet?"

Her right hand had a tattoo, but the girl in the photo did not.

Then, she also took a photo of her chin from a similar angle, proving that her chin was rounder, while the other person’s was obviously surgically sharpened, although their lip shapes were similar.

@An Lan: "Even if you lack brains, you could at least have eyes, right?"

@An Lan: "This is not over."

After posting, Shi Lan turned off her phone, as she wasn’t interested in the responses from netizens.

...

Yan Shixiu was still in bed when he received a call from Xun Yinghua, asking if he needed Huahai to handle things discreetly.

"Find out which marketing account took the pop king’s business."

"Understood."

This wasn’t hard, after all, marketing companies don’t easily nurture accounts, and they all are intertwined. Let the seniors in the entertainment, dig a little, and they will have results.

"And what happens once they are found?"

"Make them publicly apologize, then, bite back at the superstar, tit for tat, and while at it, blow out something else, Yan Ziqing will love this."

...

Downstairs, Shi Lan took advantage of the fact that Yan Shixiu hadn’t woken up and found the original source of that picture, which came from a certain forum.

Because it was now a hot post, it had many replies from netizens.

Shi Lan went through the comments below and then saw an ID: "Finally Became an Artist’s Assistant."

Shi Lan was attracted by this ID and then went in to check her comments.

Finally Became an Artist’s Assistant: "An Lan really knows how to play. Had I known, I would have applied to be her assistant; her nightlife must be fascinating."

Someone mocked her downstairs: "Do you really think you’re an artist’s assistant?"

Then, this ID replied, "I indeed became one, so what? I’m the one who has recently emerged, from the same company as An Lan."

A netizen continued the thread: "I laughed, where’s the proof?"

ID replied: "Anyway, I am one."

Shi Lan clicked in and carefully analyzed this ID, using her name to search the forum, and indeed found many stupid quotes; she believed herself to understand a lot about the entertainment industry, but really, it was just a mishmash of collected and imagined information.

By the way, Shi Lan also discovered her suspected alt account, because after she replied to one of the hot posts, she used this ID in the tone of the original poster to refute other netizens, evidently forgetting to switch back.

Shi Lan put both accounts into a search on Weibo, and although she didn’t find the one that became the artist’s assistant, she did find the other one: "Ferryman."

Clearly, this was the main account.

Because this account had many toxic chicken soups, motivational quotes, and shared daily life.

Among them, there were also photos of this young girl’s life.

So, you never know what role a seemingly sunny, hard-working person is playing behind the scenes.

Afterward, Shi Lan handed this person’s information to Tang Ze, "Check it out."

Did you think stirring up some trouble online and setting a trend would be it?

Impossible!

None will escape...

As for Yan Ziqing, she really had been given too much face; don’t forget, in her previous life, Yan Ziqing had acted foolishly quite a bit in front of Miss Shi. She always restrained herself, not wanting to lower Yan Shixiu’s standing because of the Yan Family’s foolish people, otherwise, Yan Ziqing would have been gone long ago.

At this moment, Yan Shixiu came downstairs in his pajamas; though his face was devoid of expression, Shi Lan distinctly felt his indignant anger.

Shi Lan knew she couldn’t hide it and said, "I found the person behind it all."

"But I’ve already intervened," Yan Shixiu replied and pulled her into his embrace, "You have your revenge, and I protect ... my shortcomings."

"The Yan Family’s reputation can be discarded, but yours cannot," Shi Lan said.

"My reputation isn’t granted by the Yan Family," Yan Shixiu said, kissing Shi Lan, "I ... am not from the Yan Family!"

Shi Lan listened and nodded, "So, Yan Ziqing’s scandals can be freely exposed, right?"

"Turns out, you’ve always been considering me."

Shi Lan looked at Yan Shixiu and blinks, saying, "I am willing to protect you."
