The news from self-media marketing accounts immediately drew the attention of all netizens.
With shock and confusion, netizens clicked into the news.
The news was a combination of text and images.
In the image analysis section.
Screenshots of Gao Fei's interview video and videos of over thirty criminals being apprehended were paused and captured.
Then, red circles were used to mark the identical venues and surrounding crowds in the two video screenshots.
Finally, two image-text analyses were presented. The first was a screenshot from the interview video, with a blue circle marking the clothing Gao Fei wore during the interview.
The second screenshot showed the apprehended individuals, with a blue circle marking a criminal wearing the same outfit as Gao Fei and a ski mask.
Comparing the two, the clothing was identical, and their height and build were also very similar.
The self-media marketing accounts further stated at the end of the article.
After their investigation, they had confirmed Gao Fei's arrest, and he might face a prison sentence of three to fifteen years.
The self-media news created a storm on the internet.
Netizens who read the image-text analysis were instantly furious.
"The arrested criminal in the image-text analysis, both in attire and build, strongly resembles Gao Fei. However, the criminal was wearing a ski mask, so whether it's actually Gao Fei is debatable!"
"Just the same pictures and environment, can this prove it's Gao Fei? I think it's just a coincidence!"
"Exactly, Gao Fei has earned three military merits, how could he be involved in criminal activities, let alone be arrested? I think it's just the marketing accounts making things up!"
"I unconditionally believe Gao Fei, he would never commit a crime. As soon as Gao Fei appears, I'll make sure to blast this fabricating self-media marketing account and let them taste cyberbullying!"
The fans did not believe that the arrested criminal in the image-text analysis was Gao Fei.
Neutral netizens also commented that it was still debatable whether the criminal was Gao Fei.
But the haters (chickens?) didn't care if it was Gao Fei or not, as long as it looked like him!
"A bunch of brain-dead fans are still whitewashing Gao Fei. It's obvious he's been arrested, the swindler Gao Fei, it's confirmed!"
"There are pictures and text to prove it, and you fans still refuse to admit Gao Fei's arrest, pretending to be clueless!"
"Gao Fei is arrested, his songs will be taken down, and TV news will be pixelated. This is truly satisfying, let's open a bottle of 1982 cola to celebrate!"
"Swindler Gao Fei, after he gets out of jail, he'll be the ex-convict Brother Gao Fei!"
The war between haters and fans, fueled by the self-media, led to both sides exchanging insults in the news comment section.
This news immediately became a trending topic on every website.
The self-media marketing accounts, with their ulterior motives, gained hundreds of thousands of followers instantly, achieving their goal of distorting facts and publishing fake news.
The battle in the comment section continued, and Yuanfei Studio's social media account naturally could not escape the fallout.
All fans questioned Gao Fei's arrest in the comment section of the account.
Haters gloated in the comment section.
However, regardless of the messages from haters and fans, the studio account did not respond.
.....
The next day.
Two days passed, and the storm stirred up by the self-media marketing accounts continued.
Although Gao Fei's news was no longer in the top ten trending topics on every website, it had not fallen out of the top twenty for these two days, maintaining its popularity.
Seeing that two days had passed and Yuanfei Studio had still not responded.
Fans and haters alike believed that the studio had implicitly admitted Gao Fei's arrest.
In this battle, the haters had won!
And the person in question, Gao Fei, was currently sitting in his newly purchased house, typing furiously on his keyboard.
After being surrounded by franchisees and having intruders break into his home.
On the afternoon of the franchisees' arrest, Gao Fei had already scouted online for a three-story detached villa.
The complex was named 'Yihe Tianfu', located in the eastern district of Fengyun City.
After Zeng Keming conducted an on-site inspection for him, the complex's overall environment was described as beautiful, with nearly sixty percent green coverage and 24-hour security patrols.
After Lawyer Zeng finished inspecting the house and describing the complex's situation.
Gao Fei immediately transferred money to his bank account and purchased a furnished and decorated villa for five million yuan.
In October, after experiencing life simulations and spending over twenty million yuan, Gao Fei had not used the system's life simulator again.
He had honestly become a貔貅 (pixiu) that only took in and never gave out.
In November, the commercial copyright revenue from the song "Classmate" was thirteen million yuan (after tax).
In December, the revenue decreased significantly, but there was still an income of seven million five hundred thousand yuan (after tax).
With a deposit of twenty-three million five hundred thousand yuan, he naturally bought the house in full.
On the day of purchasing the house, Gao Fei left behind all the unused items at home, packed the rest, and hired a moving company to transport them to the newly purchased villa.
He learned about the situation on the internet the next day from Zeng Keming.
Initially, Lawyer Zeng had intended to issue a statement on the studio account to clarify that he had not been arrested, but he was stopped on the spot.
Gao Fei did not explain the reason, but was planning something else.
When the time was right, the Fengyun City authorities would come forward to clarify for him. Now that he had gained such significant popularity at the end of the year, he definitely wanted to seize the opportunity.
In Yihe Tianfu, his new home.
Just as Gao Fei's eyes were glued to the computer screen and his hands were flying across the keyboard.
The doorbell suddenly rang from downstairs.
A moment later, after he went downstairs and opened the villa door.
He saw a mature woman with wine-red hair, wearing a black pencil skirt and a dark green coat, along with black stockings and long boots, standing outside the door wearing sunglasses.
"Boss, long time no see, you've become famous online again! If you hadn't contacted me, I would have thought you were really arrested!"
The woman was Jin Qiqi, whom the studio had just signed.
After greeting him, she swung her long legs and smiled, "Little Xue told me you like black stockings, do you like Sister Jin's black stockings!"
"Sister Jin, can we be serious..."
Looking at the black stocking-covered long legs, Gao Fei coughed heavily. He actually preferred fishnets!
"Hahaha, I'm just teasing you!"
Jin Qiqi carried her suitcase into the villa and looked at the luxurious, fully furnished interior, nodding, "Is this our studio's office? The environment is quite good!"
"This is the house I just bought, it's my home. The studio doesn't have an office yet!"
"...."
After ushering her in and seating her, the two officially entered into work discussions.
Gao Fei picked up his newly purchased tablet, opened a folder, and handed it to her, saying, "Take a look, what do you think!"
Jin Qiqi took the tablet and began to swipe through the documents.
Ten minutes later.
She looked up with an astonished expression and looked at the young boss, clicking her tongue, "Boss, although I don't usually look at these things, if you release this, I think it will be a hit!"
"This is the new project the studio is about to launch. Do you have any friends with relevant channels? If so, you can help me contact them today!"
"No problem!"
Jin Qiqi put down the tablet and continued, "Boss, you asked me to come to Fengyun City, it's not just for this, is it?"
Gao Fei leaned back on the sofa, with his legs crossed, and said, "The day after tomorrow, the Fengyun City official department will come forward to clarify the arrest incident for me, and the popularity will explode again.
Therefore, I hope you can use tomorrow to complete the work I will give you next."
