Chapter 889 ·Thunder Strikes

Chen Fan happened to see this news first-hand.

This time, the report was from another newspaper.

It was still based in the capital city, though this newspaper media had slightly more recognition.

The report first attracted everyone's attention with an explosive headline.

Then in the main text, the report made no attempt to conceal anything, directly stating that the man behind Wen Wan was Ruofan Group's CEO Chen Fan.

The report claimed that Chen Fan and Wen Wan had known each other for a long time.

When Chen Fan was in school, Wen Wan was a teacher at Yunhai University, and Chen Fan had actually taken her classes, they had a genuine teacher-student relationship.

Then some photos were attached, including pictures of Yunhai University and photos of Wen Wan teaching at Yunhai University at that time.

As is well known, Chen Fan started his business during his university years, and at that time, their relationship was ambiguous and unclear.

Then the reporter dropped another bombshell.

During their school years, they had openly lived together on campus.

The newspaper attached a photo showing the exterior wall of Yunhai Apartments.

The report explained that this was the faculty housing provided by Yunhai University for all teachers.

During his school years, Chen Fan rarely stayed in the dormitory, spending most of his time living in one of the faculty apartment units.

And this apartment's tenant at the time was Wen Wan.

A quick look at the timeline made it clear that when Chen Fan was living in the apartment, Wen Wan had not yet resigned from the school.

In other words, Chen Fan and Wen Wan were living together at that time.

There was a high possibility that they had already been involved then.

A typical teacher-student romance.

Most importantly, Chen Fan had a girlfriend at that time.

This guy was two-timing right under his girlfriend's nose.

After Chen Fan became successful, Wen Wan immediately resigned from the school.

The reporter posed a rhetorical question here.

What were the chances of an ordinary female teacher becoming successful in the completely unrelated film industry?

Almost zero.

Yet Wen Wan's first movie was the great director Zhang Yimou's 《Hero》, a film starring all of the country's top-tier actors in both leading and supporting roles.

As a complete newcomer to the film industry with no experience, what qualifications did Wen Wan have to act alongside so many top-tier stars?

The reason, naturally, was that Wen Wan had a wealthy patron.

And that patron was Ruofan Group's Chen Fan.

Chen Fan had money and influence, and even opened a media company for Wen Wan, sparing no expense to gradually make her famous.

Think about it, if there wasn't that kind of relationship between them, who would go to such lengths to make an unrelated woman famous?

Well, if the previous newspaper report had only made small waves.

This newspaper article completely exploded across the internet.

University student, female teacher.

Teacher-student romance.

Living together, being kept...

One was the hottest actress online, a double award-winning actress.

One was a nationally popular businessman, a young tycoon.

When all these elements came together, it would have been hard for it not to go viral.

Internet users were excited, eagerly following the drama online.

"Chen Fan and Wen Wan were actually university teacher and student?"

"Living together in university? And in the teacher's home? This is too exciting."

"Classes in the classroom during the day, classes in the room at night... tsk tsk, I officially envy Boss Chen."

"It's over, my filter is shattered, one is my favorite actress, one is the businessman I admire... how can I face my goddess after this..."

"Sure enough, goddesses all love rich men."

"Nonsense! When they got together Chen Fan was still a university student, he had no money at all."

"If he had no money, why would Wen Wan like him?"

"Maybe besides being rich, Chen Fan was also extraordinary in other ways."

"The person above, clarify which other ways you mean?"

"Damn! I said long ago that Wen Wan's rise to fame was too mysterious, there must have been someone pushing behind the scenes, you didn't believe me, now what do you have to say?"

"Even if they're together, so what? Neither of them is married, I think they make a good match, talent and beauty."

"Stop sucking up, your goddess belongs to someone else. And the goddess only loves rich men..."

...

In just a moment, comments were everywhere online.

Some online platforms and media outlets, loving to watch the drama unfold, began reposting this news, and more and more netizens joined in this frenzy...

It was simply because neither of the parties involved were nobodies.

Wen Wan needed no explanation, and Chen Fan's online fame was no less than Wen Wan.

When the two were linked together, plus Chen Fan being accused of two-timing... it would have been hard for this news not to explode.

Ding Dian stood behind Chen Fan looking at these news reports and comments below, her face turning ashen with anger, her chest heaving up and down.

"I'll contact the legal department immediately..."

Chen Fan didn't refuse, but lifted his head and let out a breath.

"Now we can be certain."

"They're not targeting Wen Wan. They're coming after me."

Ding Dian frowned: "Have you offended anyone recently?"

Chen Fan shook his head, though a few suspicious candidates flashed through his mind, but in matters like this, nothing could be said. After all, there was no evidence.

As for these online reports, Chen Fan wasn't particularly angry, after all, he was just a businessman, not an official, and Chen Fan's current status was still single, not married.

Throwing some dirt on him wouldn't affect Chen Fan.

One could only say that these people who made their move had acted too early.

If they had waited, waited until after Chen Fan was married to break the news. At that time the news's destructive power would have been several times greater.

Chen Fan stood up and took out his phone, wanting to call Su Ruochu.

At this moment, he only cared about Su Ruochu.

As long as Ruochu was fine, Chen Fan didn't care about what others thought.

Unfortunately, the call didn't go through, showing the phone was powered off.

Chen Fan guessed that Su Ruochu should still be on the plane and hadn't landed yet, probably hadn't seen the online reports either.

Chen Fan thought for a moment and then dialed Wen Wan's number.

He felt that at this time, Wen Wan must be the most frightened and hurt.

The call went through, but no one answered.

So Chen Fan sent Wen Wan a text message.

"Don't worry about the online reports, I'll handle it."

After sending the message, he waited a while, but still no reply.

So Chen Fan called Wen Wan again.

This time it showed that the other party's phone was powered off.

Then Chen Fan understood.

Wen Wan didn't want to talk to him at this moment.

Chen Fan stood up.

"I have something to take care of, I'm going out for a bit."

Ding Dian was somewhat worried about Chen Fan.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Fan shook his head: "I'm fine."

"Then this matter... how should we handle it?"

Chen Fan said calmly: "Handle it as it should be handled, you take care of this matter."

After speaking, Chen Fan turned and walked out of the office.

Behind him, Ding Dian looked at the article on the screen, a flash of killing intent in her eyes.
