Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

At this time, the male lead still had many supporters and followers since all that had been confirmed yet was that the songs from Dreamer and Starlight were similar. That was all.

Seeing a chance to prove their idol"s innocence, Liu De"s fan immediately attacked Mo Fang and even condemned Dreamer for tolerating a sc.u.mbag artist like her in their ranks.

The two women, Mo Fang and Mo Zan, immediately learned of the incident. One confronted the man who could be behind this, the other, also did not stay silent.

Mo Fang had long become cool-headed and was alert so she had already set up countermeasure against this possibility. Her hopes in Liu De completely died when this piece of news broke out.  

Since she had already awakened, she didn"t hesitate once to retaliate. She used her skills as an actress and made a video which she posted on her Weibo. The greatest weapon she had was her face, but she did not cry or act pitiful this time.

"h.e.l.lo, everyone. This is me, Mo Fang," she even waved in front of the camera while wearing a smile.

"So I"m here today… coz I heard there"s a funny rumor circulating online about me!"

She said laughingly, without a trace of fear or guilt. All that showed on her face afterward was puzzlement and amus.e.m.e.nt. "

Oh, sorry, for laughing. I just didn"t know how else to react to this…. Here, on my phone, when I wake up I just saw articles and threads saying I plagiarized Starlight songs, WHAT?"

A burst of laughter followed. Those watching suddenly couldn"t believe somebody like her who could smile and laugh freely after being accused of something heavy like this could be guilty.

Mo Fang was shaking her head in the video and wiping the corner of her eyes. Her happy voice was so pleasant to the ears.

"OMG, it"s… unbelievable. I don"t know who made this stuff up. But I"m somebody with no music background and at most, I can do covers with the help of free karaoke instrumentals and auto-tune, oops. Haha. Sorry, for laughing too much here. SO anyways, I just want to clarify that there"s NO WAY!" She matched with a cross formed by her arms before adding in a matter of fact manner. "… that I am the one who wrote the songs because.... hey, I"m an actress and have been an actress all my life…. Those who have bought Liu De"s alb.u.m, even if you checked it ten thousand times, you won"t find my name there. And the same goes if you checked his music video. All I did there is to act with co-star Li Xia…"

The woman added more messages after this, mostly addressed to her fans who kept supporting her. She then expressed her stance about the incident and asked everyone not to drag her into the issue anymore.

As she was a popular celebrity on her own right, actually somebody who had been popular even before Liu De entered the industry, she still had many fans and supporters and all these people believed her side since it was very logical.

n.o.body from Dreamer, not even the producer who spoke with Mo Fang to get the music signed, came out to refute her claim… After all, she had already phoned everyone who knew about the issue and used her knowledge from the future to blackmail them into shutting their mouth!

As for why she confidently claimed that n.o.body would find her name in the credit section of the alb.u.m or the music video, it was because as a precaution from being found out, she told the music production team not to include her name there since it would elicit many questions.

"I just want to stay an actress." Weeks ago, when they were deciding how to package the CDs and the online version of the alb.u.m, she jokingly said. "I can simply stay a ghost songwriter. It"s pretty much an awesome experience being someone from behind the shadows."

Now, she wanted to thank herself who made that decision since it greatly helped this time.  

Upon receiving news of her counterattack, the ma.s.ses who loved to jump into conclusion concocted several conspiracy theories in their heads, but the majority agreed that Liu De was suspicious. No, actually, everyone involved was suspicious apart from the pretty actress Mo Fang.

The battles online ensued, bringing forth a nice show for those who had nothing better to do other than surf the internet. An hour or so after Mo Fang"s video came out, Liu De made an explanation too, claiming he only sang and interpreted the songs, but it was simply given to him. Not long after, Mo Zan had someone under her hire the water armies to steer the direction of the opinions into "perhaps, it"s Starlight who made up this allegation to make Dreamer appear guilty."

One of Liu De"s fans went as far as to say to check on apps like Youtube and SoundHound to see who registered sooner, flaunting his knowledge about how those sites or apps have the algorithm to check the melody, lyrics, and arrangements.

However, this was a flawed method since it would depend on who uploaded first on those places, not who truly wrote it.

Towards the annoying statements and comments that they were getting, Qin Tai got p.i.s.sed off so much and ordered Lu Lingxi to screenshot their certificates and written proofs signifying that the copyright was theirs.

Although Jiang Li specifically told him to drag the issue for at least ten days just to wear out his ex-wife and her cheatmate"s mental health or caused internal strife, the CEO had become so irritated that such a simple matter had to take more than a week to be resolved.

His capable secretary completed the task beautifully and even added some fancy taunting. Attached to the photos was a small wall of text underneath.

"Here are the proofs that the copyright for the eight songs in Liu De"s alb.u.m is actually ours. You can use anything you want to prove the authenticity of the pictures. The numbers needed are written there so you can check from the Copyright Protection Center of China if all of these are authentic. Please note the date. Dreamer Entertainment, please show your proofs too so we can see who plagiarized who. All it takes is written doc.u.ments from CPCC."

...

"In the end, Liu De is saved. Well, lucky him," seeing the news from the huge TV screen mounted on the wall, the man responsible for everything was chilling at home, watching TV while sometimes working on his laptop.

There was no hint of disappointment in his expression even though Liu De only got hara.s.sed online for about a week and had his latest drama faring quite badly on its first and second week of airing. And oh, had no time to meet most of the women in his harem apart from Mo Zan and Mo Fang.

The male lead was judged not guilty because, in a sense, he was really not the one who plagiarized from others. He was a victim of the vile employee who stole the music scores from Starlight through some unknown means and then changed the lyrics and a bit of the arrangement before submitting it as his creation.

His… Right. It was not Mo Fang who got convicted in the end. Although Dreamer admitted some faults for not triple-checking it at the CPCC, they said they were also a victim. CPCC had also shown negligence in this regard. But the real issue was how Dreamer pulled somebody from who knows where to take the blame for Mo Fang.

So yeah, in the end, none from the two cheaters was invited to the court or the police station. They both could just lie low for a week or two and they could bounce back to work.

But how would they interact with each other at work? After all, what Mo Fang did? If his guess was correct, the woman would not be pushed to make a statement online if the male lead did not do anything to make her see that he was a sc.u.mbag while her ex-husband was the real gold.

Oops, he was being carried away and being narcissistic. He almost forgot, the reborn could also have awoken from her silly fantasies of an easy road to richness and realized she came back to the past, with intact memory from the future.

"Mr. Jiang, Mo Fang denied outright that she was the stealer. Her actions made Liu De became the target more of criticism since those without ideas about what really happened could only infer that he is the real scourge of the music industry. I"m guessing in some people"s mind, they"re thinking the first side who made a move without presenting actual proof is the guilty one."

"Since Liu De should be the bigger one between them, I mean in terms of backing and influence, he would surely have a fallout with Mo Fang. Why does it seem like Mo Fang is protected."

When Jiang Li met Qin Tai in his office for the last time, the man asked him.

He shook his head. "Who knows. Maybe it"s your ex-fiancée. The camaraderie between two women who awakened from their stupidity."

"Don"t joke with me." The other guy tiredly replied. Sometimes he regretted befriending this type of person. All-day long he was tired using his brain, but he got a pig teammate who still added to the burden his skull already was enduring.

"Alright. Since you said so."

Jiang Li smirked at him and then hinted that not only is Mo Zan protecting Mo Fang now, but several others working under or has connections with Dreamer Entertainment. He also did not forget to mention that even though the male lead suffered a bit, he was still as strong as ever.

After that, he walked out of the office. Behind him, Qin Tai was staring sharply behind his back, annoyed that the man demanded a high-quality tea a while back yet did not take more than a sip of the one which he asked to be brought in.

"As strong as ever… If he is, then why is his drama"s rating continuing to decrease? And his songs were taken down. Sometimes, a woman"s affection is based on the degree of success of a man. Who knows how many will stay with Liu De now that his name is a.s.sociated with copyright theft even though he is proven not guilty?"

Qin Tai called for Lu Lingxi and had her ma.s.saged his temple for some time.

As for Jiang Li, before walking out of the automatic gla.s.s door he first gave the tall two-meter giant guard there a polite smile. After that, he looked up and saw that the sky was starting to turn dark. His expression then immediately turned melancholic, as if he just got out after a job interview where he ended up rejected.
