Chapter 397: Chapter 374: This Is Explosive Even in the Cosplay Community
Shen Yeyi stared at the trending searches refreshed on Shanli’s phone, apologizing: “Sorry, Zhi Zhi, I’m really sorry for dragging you into this. I’ll go and clarify it right away!”
Ji Xizhi was used to it and said, “It’s okay, just some new material to practice with.”
Shen Yeyi was stunned: “Huh?”
Ji Xizhi said flatly: “Intellectuals can handle it!”
Ji Xizhi just finished speaking.
Next to her, Shanli suddenly reached out her hand.
“No need for intellectuals to step in, let them rest, I’ll handle it!!!”
As Shanli said this, her fingers began to operate, and soon a reply from Shanli appeared under the comments of the exposé’s main tweet.
Shanli replied exactly to what a passerby had previously said, clarifying that the person in Ji Xizhi’s arms was Shanli.
Reply to Random Soup//ShanliV: It’s me, hey, prophet, come give me a stab!
[Hmm? Can this be clarified? Forcefully pulling our eyes out like glass balls, right?]
[This… you can eat randomly, but you can’t talk nonsense, Shanli and the boss in this picture aren’t similar at all, right?]
[Laughing to death, I feel like Shanli is being sarcastic!]
No one took Shanli’s clarification seriously.
Shanli herself: “…….” She was infuriated!
[Quick, go check Ji Xizhi’s Weibo, someone is exposing more pictures!]
Before Shanli could release a new clarification, the gossipers were led astray by another comment.
Someone found and highlighted the crazy comment under Ji Xizhi’s recent fan service tweet.
That person claimed Ji Xizhi was seen entering a hotel with a certain boss, leading many to dig into that person’s Weibo for more pictures.
That person simply posted several of Ji Xizhi assisting a certain potbellied boss from different angles on their homepage.
Gossipers were even more thrilled upon seeing clearer pictures.
[Does this have anything to do with Shanli? Shanli wouldn’t be the pimp herself, which is why she’s eager to help clarify, right?]
[However, the person Ji Xizi is holding doesn’t seem to show a clear face in the picture? The evidence isn’t strong enough; don’t jump to conclusions too early, neither fan nor hater~]
[Isn’t this evidence sufficient? Don’t tell me the potbellied one in that outfit is a female corporate president?]
Shanli replied to the comment again, feeling like a fake account.
Reply to Need a Brain//ShanliV: What? Can’t I love dressing up? Are you the Pacific Ocean police?
This time Shanli not only countered but also posted a selfie.
The photo showed Shanli dressed up as a potbellied female president.
While stuffing her ugly photo on Weibo, Shanli was relieved: “Fortunately, I took a selfie afterwards, just really ugly. In my life, this will be Shanli’s only ugly picture on social media!”
“Will this picture be remembered forever!!!!”
“Then I’ll go take an identical ugly photo back home.” Shen Yeyi suddenly spoke, “I’ll join you with the ugly photo, being remembered forever.”
Shanli was moved to tears by this emotional remark.
Ji Xizhi looked at the two and spoke: “I…”
Shanli swiftly interrupted: “Zhi Zhi, you don’t have to!”
Ji Xizhi: “?”
Shanli: “If you join, surely we’ll end up in a comparison battle over whose ugliness is less severe. I don’t want to lose too badly!”
Ji Xizhi: “.” She didn’t understand.
After Shanli posted her ugly photo, the gossipers online were finally shocked.
[Shanli is really over the top! I know Shanli loves cosplay, but this wasn’t necessary… ahem!]
[Can this be seen? Did you guys leave this set in the photo shoot? Special cosplay? It’s quite eye-opening, next time could you hint in advance?]
[I believe it, I really do, this is quite explosive in the cosplay world! Emmm it’s already elevated to a very difficult level to comment on~]
[Tsk, I’m almost convinced, Shanli went to great lengths to find the same outfit to cover for Ji Xizhi, their friendship is real!]
With Shanli’s clarification on trending searches, most fans actually believed it.
Because…
If not for clarification, why would Shanli release this photo explosive enough to shake the entire cosplay world?
Especially those fans in the same cosplay circle as Shanli.
No one can withstand this!
Even a small part of the people didn’t believe it; Shanli had no choice at this point.
Because the police had arrived.
When the police approached Ji Xizhi, the process of dealing with matters accelerated.
Having understood President Chen’s series of situations and gathered some evidence, they directly returned to the police station for detailed questioning.
Initially, Ji Xizhi wanted Shen Yeyi to secretly go to the police station later, but now since they were already caught by paparazzi on trending searches, there was no need.
The three of them, in front of everyone, followed the police into the car and left.
Everyone around the hotel saw Ji Xizhi and the others follow the police out of the elevator, while the police held a messily dressed man.
The man’s loose shirt wasn’t buttoned properly, his legs were so weak that he was barely hauled into the car by the police.
Bystanders were shocked.
“Could this be both of them getting caught for pc???”
“Not sure, should we watch a bit more?”
“Oh my gosh, that’s Ji Xizhi and Shen Yeyi, trending like this, but here like that, what’s exactly happening? This drama is giving me a headache!”
Among the crowd was Shen Yeyi’s manager.
Shen Yeyi’s manager originally sent Shen Yeyi to President Chen and then went out to play.
But shortly after he left, Shen Yeyi appeared on trending searches, along with Ji Xizhi.
Shen Yeyi’s manager is from Hangxing Entertainment, and he bears a heavier shadow from Ji Xizhi than anyone else.
The initial manager Zhao Ren of Ji Xizhi, he knew very well how Zhao Ren ended up in prison.
With Shen Yeyi and Ji Xizhi together, seeing these two leave simultaneously with the police made his scalp tingle.
Shen Yeyi’s manager wouldn’t think like the gossiping crowd around, assuming Ji Xizhi and Shen Yeyi met coincidentally because of unwritten rules, speculating Ji Xizhi would fall victim; it would be more likely to guess he himself might end up in jail!
The turmoil inside Shen Yeyi’s manager was enormous.
He watched Ji Xizhi and Shen Yeyi get in the police car, anxiously preparing to call President Huang.
But before he could nervously retrieve his phone.
He saw Ji Xizhi say something to a policeman’s ear.
And right after, the policeman walked straight towards him.
“Hello, I’m a police officer from X District of B City. Are you Shen Yeyi’s manager?…”
Shen Yeyi’s manager barely heard the officer’s questions, only catching the last sentence.
“Please cooperate with the police investigation.”
Investigation? Investigating what, if he is pimping?
