Chapter 1196 The Male Lead Is Here
Han Yisheng’s management released a wire copy stating that Han Yisheng’s Weibo and WeChat accounts had been stolen and that his fan forum had been hacked, which were the reasons for these false reports.
However, the netizens online were not idiots either. There were several things that could be fabricated, but there were others that could not be fabricated.
It was not possible to make fake video recordings or fake voice recordings either. These video recordings and voice recordings were all in the chat logs and were particularly well-doc.u.mented.
“I didn’t expect Han Yisheng to be such a jerk.”
“Hooking up for one-night stands is fine. But deceiving people into it isn’t right. He’s obviously just lying to his fans. He told his fans that he was dating them when, in reality, he was cheating on them with so many other people.”
“Precisely. And he even sent photos of the girls to people. If you hooked up with someone, you have to respect their privacy. He sent the photos to other people to boast and not just for his own collection. We don’t even know if he took the photos with or without the girls’ permission.”
“Exactly. He’s such a sc.u.mbag. Even though we’re a free society now, he should still respect women.”
Public condemnation of him did not stop. Although the web forums and his fansites had already deleted these things, the criticism would probably continue for a long time.
Initially, Han Yisheng was even swearing in the office. “Lin Che must have gotten someone to do this.”
The company staff was very gloomy as well. For no reason, he was cursed out to this extent. They had worked overtime throughout the night but still did not know what to do now.
How should they respond? Apart from stating that they were going to look to the law for recourse, they had no other way of responding.
But the crucial thing was that they could not admit to it. The moment they admitted to something like this, it would be difficult to clear his name in the future. On the contrary, if they simply pretended that nothing had happened and continued to do whatever they were supposed to, there was still a possibility of clearing his name later.
Thus, they had no choice but to wait quietly without furnis.h.i.+ng a further reply.
To think Han Yisheng still had the nerve to criticize someone else. If not for his own bad behavior and his despicable actions in private, no one would have a hold over him.
He was still unmarried and did not have a steady girlfriend, either. If he had not gone overboard, it would actually have been fine for him to have a s.e.x life.
But look at what had happened now.
Han Yisheng had been utterly humiliated by these events. A few of the women who had been deceived by him all this while had discovered the truth and were creating trouble for him at the moment. He was truly at the bottom of fortune’s wheel right now, so of course, he felt even more indignant. He came to the company this time with the intention of getting the company to create trouble for Lin Che.
However, at this moment.
His phone rang again. He swiped his screen only to see that it was the same number as yesterday.
He immediately held his phone up.
“Hey, you still have the cheek to call. You…”
“Did you see the news today?” KG said coldly over the phone.
Han Yisheng shouted, “You… were you the one who did it? Great. So you were actually the one who did it, right?”
“That’s right. I did it. What’s more, you should know clearly what’s on your computer. If you don’t want more sensational information being released for everyone’s enjoyment, I hope you can shut your mouth and apologize to Lin Che.”
“You… ha, where did Lin Che find a gigolo like you?”
“It seems to me that you haven’t learned your lesson yet, right?”
Seeing that Han Yisheng was shouting in an extremely angry manner here, the company employees hastily asked, “Who is that? Who exactly is that?”
Han Yisheng was so angry that his face was flushed. “I don’t know if he’s one of the newbies from Lin Che’s company. I think he said that his name is KG. I don’t know if it’s a young band or group or something like that.”
“What group is that? Let me look it up.”
Initially, the company employees had genuinely thought that this person was some artist under Lin Che’s management.
However, upon looking it up, they discovered that this person was actually a famous hacker.
“You, you provoked the wrong person. This person is a renowned hacker. No wonder. No wonder he had no problems accessing your information. Forget about things on your end. They even dug through our company. Our IT department has already told us that someone browsed our company’s network and accounts. Good lord, you’ll be the death of me. How did you provoke these people?”
How did Han Yisheng know?
“What? Hacker? I… I didn’t… he’s Lin Che’s acquaintance. I thought he was…”
“Enough. You should stop thinking. What did you think? We shouldn’t say anything more about this incident. We don’t even know what blackmail material they saw after gaining unauthorized access. It definitely won’t be good to provoke them. We should let it go.”
Han Yisheng genuinely wanted to cry. There was no way he could have known that Lin Che had an expert like him by her side.
—
Han Yisheng did not release anything else afterward. While he was still busy dealing with these things, Lin Che used this time to choose an actor.
However, after this incident, there were actually many people who deliberately did not want their company’s artistes to partic.i.p.ate. Because they had heard that Lin Che had not chosen a male lead and that there was no suitable candidate for a male lead, everyone was also wondering what she was going to do this time.
Lin Che was a little anxious too, but she really could not find a suitable person either.
But they had already chosen a date to commence filming. Thus, the press conference was still going to proceed as per normal.
However, a press conference without a male lead was ultimately a bit worrisome.
Backstage, Yu Minmin saw that preparations on stage were ready and said to Lin Che, “They will definitely ask about this later. Just say exactly what we agreed on.”
If the reporters asked, they would just say that they were still keeping things confidential.
There was no way around this, either. It was all because they had pretty high expectations for the male lead. It was not appropriate for them to pick one randomly.
Lin Che nodded and looked at the reporters outside. All of them were still standing there looking excited and eager to jump into action, wanting to elicit some information.
Lin Che breathed in deeply and started walking out.
The flas.h.i.+ng lights focused.
Directing them towards Lin Che, everyone asked, “Lin Che, where is the male lead?”
“Lin Che, there are so many actors here today. Who is the male lead?”
“Lin Che, after Han Yisheng withdrew, do you have a new candidate for male lead?”
Lin Che smiled and looked at everyone. “You guys… can guess. We’re still keeping it confidential at this stage. All of you will know in the future.”
The reporters looked at her, thinking to themselves that she could not hide this anyway. So many people knew that they had not decided on a male lead. On top of that, after Han Yisheng had been sabotaged, he continued spreading rumors in the industry, telling everyone to join hands and show Lin Che who was boss so that she would not continue being so arrogant.
Everyone also felt that Lin Che’s studio was doing better and better, and would suppress all of their companies very soon. It was indeed time to give her a bit of a warning, so all of them were waiting together to watch her get humiliated.
Since Lin Che said that they were keeping it confidential now, everyone naturally continued to ask her, “Lin Che, are you really keeping it confidential? Why is everyone saying that you can’t find anyone at the moment?”
“Can “Radiance” still commence filming as scheduled?”
Lin Che smiled. “Of course, we can abide by the schedule.”
“Then, who exactly is the male lead?”
Lin Che looked at these people with narrowed eyes.
Great. So they wanted to hit her when she was down and add insult to injury.
However, at this exact moment,
“The male lead is here.”
A male voice that sounded familiar suddenly drifted here. The person was…
