Chapter 974: Wouldn’t He Hate Fu Huai’an to the Core?
Some netizens said the Chu family was rich and overbearing, easily deleting the video that held the truth! They must think that everyone was blind and were thus fine with this self-deceptive trick…
Some also wondered if the Chu family would be willing to spend money to buy something that could erase everyone’s memories for the past three days, making them forget that their daughter was shameless! Then, people would just remember that their daughter was the “Iron Lady” of the news industry.
Right now, the words “Iron Lady” had become a joke…
Thereafter, all the comments that ridiculed Chu Xun were deleted, without a single one of them left behind.
This seemed to anger all of the netizens, causing everyone to vent their fury onto the Chu family!
The Chu Group’s official website even broke down due to there being too many netizens commenting to scold them.
The Chu family was really wronged and made the scapegoat for this…
The Chu family weren’t the ones who had gotten someone to delete the video. Wouldn’t the action of deleting the video at this time be like adding fuel to the flame? The Chu Group’s public relations department wouldn’t be so foolis.h.!.+
The one who deleted the video was actually Fu Huai’an!
Fu Huai’an had just boarded a cruise with Morocco’s petroleum magnate Aziz Felta when he received Tang Zheng’s call. Tang Zheng told Fu Huai’an about what Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor had released.
Fu Huai’an fell silent for a moment before he hung up the phone, spoke to Aziz Felta, then headed to the deck to open up his Weibo app.
Under the sunlight, he frowned as he looked at those three Weibo posts for a long time. The atmosphere around him became cold and scary. He told Tang Zheng to get people to delete the video as well as the three Weibo posts completely.
In the beginning, Tang Zheng couldn’t understand this. Fu Huai’an had just seen the video of the truth behind Lu Xiangsi’s death and knew what kind of person Chu Xun was. Yet, he gave the instructions for the video to be deleted? Wouldn’t he be helping Chu Xun by doing so?
If Tuan Tuan found out about this after he grew up… wouldn’t he hate Fu Huai’an to the core?
It was just that Fu Huai’an had his own reservations. Although the video had been edited, there was nothing to guarantee that people with superb skills wouldn’t be able to recover the audio. He was worried that Tuan Tuan’s name would be mentioned in the video, and it’d be impossible to hide Tuan Tuan’s ident.i.ty then!
In Fu Huai’an’s opinion, Lu Xiangsi had died… and those who had died should rest in peace. Tuan Tuan also needed a peaceful life!
Many people had seen the video, and Fu Huai’an believed that if it was deleted now, the Chu family and Chu Xun would face even more trouble!
Fu Huai’an had also watched the video many times!
He could understand why Chu Xun would choose to look in Lu Xiangsi’s direction when faced with the option of life or death. However… he couldn’t forgive her!
He also couldn’t forgive the fact that in order to establish a heroic and fearless image, Chu Xun had, with peace of mind, completely wiped out the fact that she was indebted to Lu Xiangsi for saving her life.
Tang Zheng told Fu Huai’an to reconsider this, but Fu Huai’an only said that deleting the video would only cause Chu Xun and the Chu family more trouble.
As expected, after the video was deleted, the Chu family was heavily reprimanded. Even the Chu Group’s stock prices plummeted.
Fu Huai’an used his deep voice to instruct Tang Zheng to pay attention to the situation in the Chu family and to keep him updated.
Only then did Tang Zheng understand Fu Huai’an’s intention. Fu Huai’an was planning to… get rid of the Chu family!
As Fu Huai’an’s good friend, Lu Jinnan was very surprised when he saw the video. Back then, he had wanted to bring Chu Xun and Fu Huai’an together as a couple. However, after seeing this video, Lu Jinnan felt apologetic toward Tuan Tuan.
The video was deleted very quickly and very thoroughly. What was even more surprising was that even the video stored in the computer of Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor had been deleted right before his eyes. The computer was completely beyond his control, as if someone was controlling it remotely!
That was the only original version of the video that he had left behind.
Furious, Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor put up a post on Weibo on this matter, and the netizens broke into a commotion. The Chu family was really amazing. To think that they even deleted the original copies of the video…
The situation became increasingly intense, and everyone watching the show started to reprimand Chu Xun and the Chu family.
The Chu family realized that something was amiss. Chu Fangzheng thought that Chu Xun hadn’t been able to hold it in and had deleted the videos in anger. He was so angry that he smashed quite a number of antique vases at home. He then called Chu Xun and gave her a good scolding without even giving her a chance to explain herself.
Ever since Chu Xun went overseas, she had cut herself off from all news in the country. She had left in a pathetic state back then. The video of her confessing to a married man caused her reputation to plummet. Right now, she wanted to do whatever she could to recover her reputation overseas. She didn’t want to see the news in the country scolding her, affecting her mood and distracting her!
After Chu Xun was given a scolding for reasons unknown to her, she asked her father, “Dad… what Weibo video? What are you talking about?”
Chu Fangzheng was so infuriated that his chest was heaving. “You’re still trying to act ignorant? Back then, when you pleaded with our family to spend money to purchase the news from others, we agreed! Now that you’ve been exposed, you got people to delete the video without discussing it with us! Do you think that other people are all blind? That no one saw it? Right now, everyone is reprimanding our Chu family! The share prices have been plummeting! Chu Xun… what sin have I committed? Why did I give birth to a foolish daughter like you?”
Chu Xun was perplexed. “Dad, I really don’t know what video you’re talking about! When I left the country, there were a lot of curses about me, so I haven’t been paying attention to what’s happening back in the country. I didn’t want those things to affect my mood! You didn’t make yourself clear on what happened and started scolding me right from the start, so I’m also very confused!”
After hearing Chu Xun’s words, Chu Fangzheng’s buzzing mind had a moment of calmness. If it wasn’t Chu Xun, then who was it?
“Dad?” Not getting Chu Fangzheng’s reply, Chu Xun called out to him, then got up from the yoga mat. She walked to the counter in the open-concept kitchen, opened up the laptop placed there, and checked on the popular Weibo posts…
“Haicheng Daily’s deputy chief editor, the person who was your a.s.sistant previously and whom you pleaded with our family to give money to in order to purchase the news that eventually got you an award! Did you know that the information was taken from Lin Nuan’s hands?” Chu Fangzheng’s voice turned increasingly cold. “The deputy chief editor has sold you out now! If I knew that this would bring trouble to the Chu Group, I wouldn’t have agreed to your request back then! I shouldn’t have listened to your mom’s words! I thought that it was just something I had to spend a little money on… But now, the Chu Group is in big trouble because of you!”
The most popular search on Weibo had become: Hi everyone, I’m Chu Xun’s face. Chu Xun doesn’t want me anymore!
In second place: Chu Xun deleted the Weibo posts in anger.
In fourth place: The Chu family & hackers.
Chu Xun listened to Chu Fangzheng’s words, and her heart palpitated as she read through the popular searches…
What video was it?
Chu Xun wanted to find out about the matter from Weibo, but she wasn’t able to find anything. Even after using the search engine, she wasn’t able to find the video that Chu Fangzheng mentioned. She felt a little anxious.
Listening to Chu Fangzheng’s scoldings, Chu Xun calmed down and asked, “Dad, what kind of video was it? Do you have it? It’s fine if it’s just a screenshot! Let me take a look!”
