Chapter 182: The Entertainment Industry’s Scheming Bastard

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: The Entertainment Industry’s Scheming Bastard

Sang Ning saw the comments in the live stream but didn’t hold back just because they were from her fans. With a slight frown and the stern demeanor of a parent lecturing their child, she said:

"You still have the nerve to call yourselves my fans? You get insulted and don’t even know how to talk back!"

"If you can’t argue, fine—but don’t forbid me from arguing. Who’s supposed to stand up for you then?"

A fan replied:

[Sister Ning, our Ning Juli fans are all pretty civilized. Fans reflect their idols, and if you act uncivilized, it makes us look bad too.]

Sang Ning curled her lips in a smirk and said nonchalantly, "Great, you all keep being civilized. Leave the uncivilized stuff to me. Next time someone insults you without reason, just DM me—I’ll curse them out on your behalf!"

Sang Ning’s bold statement not only shocked her fans but stunned a wave of netizens who had planned on arguing with her.

Her fans were so touched they were moved to tears. Having such an idol, they felt they hadn’t chosen wrong—when trouble arises, Sang Ning truly steps up.

Meanwhile, the netizens who were initially gearing up to curse out Sang Ning suddenly found themselves envying her fans.

[There aren’t many real ones left in the entertainment industry—Sang Ning’s one of them. She’s the first who’s openly gone to bat for fans.]

[Having an idol like this is so reassuring. You can just peacefully admire her looks and career without worries.]

[Thinking of my former idol makes my chest ache. No matter what happens, it’s always the fans battling on the frontlines, while he just hides in the background. Then he has the audacity to issue statements blaming fans for everything, claiming it’s not his problem.]

[I seriously doubt the authenticity of that earlier video. Sang Ning, who openly livestreams to curse people on behalf of her fans, would she really assault a fan in anger like they claim?]

[Or is it possible that Sang Ning staged this whole thing herself to market her "spoiling fans" persona?]

[Sang Ning’s absolutely right. You guys are really pigs pretending to be humans, with zero brain cells. Sang Ning’s clearly being smeared, and you still say she’s staging it herself.]

Sang Ning swiftly glanced through the live comments and directly addressed the netizens’ doubts:

"First off, I want to clarify something: In this matter, both my fans and I are victims. I swear on the lives of these clueless haters—if there was even an ounce of staged behavior involved in this, then may those haters die a gruesome death, torn limb from limb."

With that, netizens fell silent. Was Sang Ning seriously swearing, or was she just joking?

The trolls lurking in her stream were stunned too. Did their lives not matter anymore?

Why didn’t Sang Ning swear on her own life? Why choose to harm them instead?

"Secondly, I don’t know who looks so highly upon me, Sang Ning, that they’d spend money hiring paparazzi to smear me over a little interaction with my fans."

After saying this, Chu Xi, who was watching the livestream, suddenly shivered.

How strange—why did she feel like Sang Ning had seen through everything?

Chu Xi quickly shook her head. No way, Sang Ning couldn’t possibly know.

After all, she had never directly contacted those paparazzi herself. Even if Sang Ning were suspicious, there wouldn’t be any evidence to prove it was her.

"Thirdly, I also have no clue which bigwig in the industry thinks I’m worth protecting to the point they suppressed all my negative news behind my back.

I want to thank them, but honestly, it’s unnecessary. If there’s dirt on me, I’ll clear it myself. No need to trouble you. If you stepped in out of a desire to sleep with me, save yourself the effort—because I’ll twist your head off."

This time, it was Li Juezhou’s turn to fall silent...

Why did Sang Ning always assume the worst of people? Couldn’t she accept that maybe someone acted out of righteousness on her behalf?

"Lastly, I want to warn the marketing accounts who uploaded maliciously edited videos: my patience is limited. You only have one minute left.

The harm you’ve caused—my fans have already screenshotted and captured all the evidence. If you don’t upload the full video within a minute, then see you in court. And if even court can’t deal with you, I’ll personally send you to hell!"

The marketing accounts watching her livestream were on the verge of tears.

First Hai Chuan Legal Department had threatened them, then Sang Ning followed suit.

Sang Ning’s threats were even more gangster-like. At least Hai Chuan’s department didn’t threaten their lives, while Sang Ning outright offered to send them to the grave.

The marketing account, utterly defeated, found their Weibo account had already been reinstated.

Weeping bitterly, they uploaded the full video with the caption—

[I did take money to smear Sang Ning, but I’ve since had a change of heart and returned the money. As for who wanted to ruin her reputation, I, a small fry, truly don’t know. I sincerely apologize to Ms. Sang Ning for the harm caused. From now on, I’ll quit the paparazzi game and head home to farm. Please, I beg netizens to let me go—farewell forever from the internet!]

The video from the marketing account pushed the day’s events to their peak.

After watching the full video, the bystanders’ first reaction was outrage.

Sang Ning genuinely cared about her fans. She was fiercely telling them off because she worried their fandom activities might disrupt their everyday lives. That’s why she sharply warned them not to come to the airport to greet her anymore.

Her interactions with fans were clearly a mix of loving banter—they’d deliberately twisted her actions to depict her as bullying them one-sidedly. Marketing accounts were despicable.

This incident earned Sang Ning even more casual fan support.

Stars who can simultaneously scold and fiercely defend their fans are practically extinct now. If you’re not jumping on her bandwagon now, what are you waiting for?

Some netizens also began piecing together various breadcrumbs to uncover who had financed the smear campaign against Sang Ning, and which mysterious power had been secretly protecting her.

But no matter how much they dug, they found nothing.

Disappointed, the netizens finally labeled it as Sang Ning’s unilateral publicity stunt.

Yet Sang Ning’s livestream squabble trending topic was simply too hilarious—clipping and remixing absurd videos from the stream kept internet jokesters too preoccupied to care about the skepticism of a handful of netizens about her "self-staging."

After ending the livestream, Sang Ning logged into her Weibo account and posted a heartfelt note:

淡淡的忧桑:[Most of the time, I’m a calm and collected loner. But today, I acted out—sorry for embarrassing myself. If I, Sang Ning, inadvertently offended you, then frankly, you’ll just have to deal with it, because I can’t quit this bad habit of fiercely protecting my circle. Lastly, to my Ning Juli members—good night. From now on, just focus on shining in your own fields; leave everything in the entertainment industry to me.]

Not long after Sang Ning’s post, various celebrity "guest stars from the countryside" began reposting her Weibo, all adding the same supportive gesture emoji.

Chu Xi initially didn’t want to repost it, but when everyone else did, she feared being ridiculed for not fitting in, so she reluctantly shared it with tears in her eyes.

Members of Ning Juli also flocked to Sang Ning’s post to check in:

[Sister Ning, this year I swear I’ll pass my CET-4 exam, or I’ll bring my head to you!]

[Sister Ning, this year I promise I’ll pass the CPA exam, or I’ll bring my head to you!]

[Sister Ning, this year I vow to pass the bar exam, or I’ll bring my head to you!]

At first, it was just fans checking in, but soon random onlookers started mimicking them, leaving wishes below Sang Ning’s post.

In just one night, her comment section built a skyscraper of responses several hundred thousand floors high.

The overwhelming buzz in her comments section also earned Sang Ning a new nickname: "The Last True Boss of the Entertainment Industry."
