Chapter 433: Chapter 433

From Chenyang’s perspective, Zhang Hongtu and the others found the current problem so difficult for two reasons. First, they were swayed by the fans’ uproar. Second, they’d been completely confused by Lin Jiji’s inflammatory and manipulative rhetoric.

An old saying goes: those involved are lost, while onlookers see clearly.

Although Chenyang was also involved, his strategy and plans for dealing with Lin Jiji had always been perfectly clear.

In contrast, leaders like Zhang Hongtu had been led by the nose by Lin Jiji the entire time, making it hard for them to see the full picture. They were also overly cautious and easily influenced by the public, which caused them to fall into one trap after another that Lin Jiji had set.

Of course, there were two other reasons as well.

First, Lin Jiji was incredibly skilled at inciting his fans.

He knew exactly how to use the power of his fans and the public to pressure the leadership.

Second, although these leaders were powerful and held high positions, they were far too timid when dealing with the public and mass incidents. To put it bluntly, they were too concerned with protecting their own reputations, terrified that offending the masses would cost them their jobs.

Chenyang’s thinking was the complete opposite.

From the very beginning, Chenyang not only held all the cards he needed for a comeback, but he also operated with the conviction of a man with nothing to lose.

He was the innocent party in the car accident.

And since he was innocent, he had no reason to fear the slander and rumors!

Lin Jiji, on the other hand, had undeniably committed various illegal and immoral acts. As long as these were all confirmed, the law itself would punish him. And his fans, no matter how much they adored him, could not change the facts, much less stand against the power of the law!

With this as his foundation, Chenyang was fearless.

As for the current chaos, he saw it as nothing more than a final smoke bomb from Lin Jiji in his desperate death throes.

To anyone in the entertainment industry, the scandals exposed about him were all irrefutable facts.

The only reason he could still incite and deceive his fans was that they didn’t understand the inner workings of the entertainment industry.

For example, industry insiders like Lin Jiji and Lin Xiaoyue knew who "Young Master Yu" was and the terrifying influence he wielded. The fans, however, did not. They simply assumed it was all manufactured hype from paid commenters hired by Lin Yongkun to protect Chenyang.

For another, while the photos and videos currently trending were all real, they had yet to be officially confirmed. This gave the fans a sliver of hope to cling to.

The simplest and most direct way to change all this was to present ironclad evidence. Make the fans see Lin Jiji’s true colors, let them know who Young Master Yu was, and make them understand that Lin Jiji’s career was well and truly over.

Once that was done, all the trouble and influence from the fans would vanish in an instant.

Without the protection of his fans, Lin Jiji would be like a weed torn out by the roots—effortlessly crushed.

Of course, Chenyang couldn’t do this all by himself, so as he spoke, he looked toward Yan Rongrong.

After Chenyang finished speaking, Yan Rongrong first typed out and sent a text message before calling the head of the media company.

She had been itching to take this final step for a long time.

From the moment this all began, Lin Jiji’s every action had utterly disgusted her. If circumstances allowed, she would have loved nothing more than to march over and beat the hell out of him.

And not just Lin Jiji. She also wanted to slap Lin Xiaoyue and knock some sense into the pretty but clueless starlet.

Now, finally hearing Chenyang give the order, she no longer had to hold back. As soon as the call connected, she said quickly, "Fifth Brother, it’s time for your people to put on a show."

"HAHAHA, my people are already at the hospital entrance. They can go in any second now."

The media company boss paused, then laughed. "You’ve really brought me a huge surprise this time. Yesterday’s story on Chenyang gained several of my company’s accounts hundreds of thousands of followers overnight, and a few posts got hundreds of thousands of impressions.

And today, after we got the dirt on Lin Jiji, our follower count shot up by another two million in just half an hour! Several posts have over a million clicks, and one even broke five million. I have a feeling that after this is all over, my company’s influence in the industry will jump at least two tiers!"

Yan Rongrong scoffed playfully. "Then shouldn’t you be rewarding me handsomely, Fifth Brother?"

"Absolutely. When this is over, you pick the place. Shop, eat, play—whatever you want, it’s on me!"

"Haha, deal. Just help me get this done first and teach Lin Jiji a good lesson. We’ll talk about the other stuff later."

"Don’t you worry. I’m personally overseeing this operation. Even if Lin Jiji’s agency and his sponsor get involved themselves, there’s no way they’ll be able to save him today!"
