Gu's Entertainment released the unedited full video. In it, Wen Shengsheng repeatedly caused trouble, insisting on asking about the voice actor behind the virtual idol. This immediately ignited the fury of the entire anime and otaku community.
"Wow, so insidious! Attacking a real person behind a virtual idol, especially during Sui Sui's first public appearance!"
"Exactly! The biggest taboo for virtual idols is to be linked to a real-world voice database. Every question Wen Shengsheng asked was a minefield!"
"Good heavens! A landmine expert!"
"I hate these real-world people. They're so messed up in the head. I became a shut-in with social anxiety precisely because I don't want to deal with people like them..."
"Are the people upstairs done? Shengsheng is allowed to ask questions if she doesn't understand, right? Are you all so fragile inside? She can't even ask?"
"This isn't about asking questions, is it? She clearly stepped on a minefield. Ling Fenghan and the host gave her an out, but she kept escalating. This is clearly intentional trouble-making!"
"Shengsheng is so cute! She's just a little socially awkward. She really just wanted to figure things out. A true straight-arrow girl! Shengsheng, we support you!"
"No bias here. Although Wen Shengsheng's questions were a bit problematic, she's still better than those people who pretend to know everything. You guys must not have encountered people who pretend to know. I think Wen Shengsheng is quite good! Her twin tails are also very cute!"
"Don't just talk about the anime community; even as a real-world person, I feel suffocated. I usually can't stand such clueless, unhelpful teammates. If you call her cute, I hope all your work partners are 'Wen Shengshengs.' I sincerely wish you that!"
"The person upstairs, there's no need for that!"
"I think there is! Wen Shengsheng is really annoying. Even the host looks exhausted." The screenshot displayed showed the host with cartoon crows flying over his head, accompanied by the text "Can't carry them, can't carry them."
"To be fair, looking at the whole situation, Sui Sui getting angry after hitting those sensitive points is understandable. Wen Shengsheng deserved to be retorted to for her sharp tongue. The most innocent one should be Ling Fenghan."
"What the heck! The person above spoke my mind! Everyone who previously blacklisted Ling Fenghan should come out and apologize to him!"
"Exactly! Looking at the whole situation, Ling Fenghan had no issues at all. He even gave Wen Shengsheng an out earlier. It was only when he got truly angry that he decided to protect Sui Sui. Even then, he didn't make things difficult for Wen Shengsheng!"
"Those who cursed Ling Fenghan, get out and apologize!"
...
The messages and comments online didn't die down as time passed; instead, they became more heated. They only peaked at dawn and then gradually subsided.
Meanwhile, Ling Fenghan himself seemed to notice that the sky outside had already turned white. He squinted and poured himself another glass of water.
"Alright, next I'll talk about what happened after I joined Gu's Entertainment," Ling Fenghan said, taking a sip of water.
Chen Qi wished she could die. She was young; she really didn't want to know about the dark side of society, nor did she want to spend her birthday like this.
So painful, so desperate...
...
It wasn't until broad daylight that Ling Fenghan finished recounting all the grievances and unwillingness he had suffered over the years, all the dark past.
After the last sentence, Ling Fenghan glanced at Chen Qi, who looked lifeless and seemed to have cried all her tears. He politely borrowed Chen Qi's phone.
To call the police.
Ling Fenghan's agent had been unable to contact him all night and was extremely worried. The next morning, she went to Ling Fenghan's house and saw police cars entering and exiting. Her heart immediately leaped into her throat.
It wasn't until she saw Ling Fenghan sitting safely on the sofa at home that her heart settled.
"Fenghan! How are you!" the agent hurried to Ling Fenghan's side and asked, "What happened?"
"That sasaeng fan broke into my house," Ling Fenghan's tone was calm. "I didn't sleep all night."
"What!" The agent's eyes widened. "What's going on! How did she get into your house!"
"The police are still investigating," Ling Fenghan also wanted to know, but he was so tired now. "I want to sleep for a while."
"Then you go to sleep," the agent patted Ling Fenghan's arm and said, "I'll handle the rest, and I'll postpone all your appointments for today. You rest well first."
"Thank you," Ling Fenghan nodded, then returned to his bedroom and fell headfirst onto his bed.
He immediately lost consciousness.
He felt like he had never been this tired before, so tired that he couldn't even move his fingers.
He slept for a whole day, only waking up early the next morning.
After this sleep, Ling Fenghan felt incredibly relaxed.
The feeling of vitality made him feel incredibly comfortable, sweeping away all the pent-up emotions in his heart, and even his breathing felt exceptionally smooth.
It was as if he had been reborn after a brush with death.
"Oh my goodness! You're finally awake! If you didn't wake up, I was going to call the emergency center to send you for a gastric lavage!" The agent entered with a glass of water. Seeing that Ling Fenghan was awake, she said with a wry smile, "What did Xia Qing Tian give you, a sleeping pill or a knockout drug? The effect is too good!"
"Whatever it was, the effect was excellent. I feel like I've been reborn. I really owe Qing Tian a huge favor," Ling Fenghan stretched his shoulders, took the glass of water from the agent, and then asked, "What about that sasaeng fan? What about what's happening online? Is Sui Sui okay? Is the TV station's anniversary recording today okay?"
"Heh heh! You'll never guess what happened!" The agent rolled her eyes and then told him everything he had missed while he was unconscious.
The police obtained valid testimony from Chen Qi, learning that someone had given her Ling Fenghan's house key. Chen Qi wanted to have an unforgettable birthday, so she secretly broke into Ling Fenghan's house. She never expected Ling Fenghan to tie her up and talk to her all night!
That's right, he just talked to her all night.
The police naturally didn't believe this part of the testimony. They asked Chen Qi to confess what she had actually done. Chen Qi immediately threw a tantrum, rolling on the ground, saying the police didn't believe her. She also uttered many offensive words, blaming them for taking taxpayer money but not saving her when she was in danger.
Chen Qi was a repeat offender. She had often insulted public officials and even resorted to physical violence before, but she had never been fourteen years old then.
Today was different. Today Chen Qi had turned fourteen after her birthday.
She was directly detained for one month on dual charges of insulting national public officials and trespassing into a private residence.
Chen Qi's parents searched for their daughter all night. When they found her, they immediately handed her over to the authorities. They cried and made a fuss at the station, but this time, they could no longer use her being a minor as an excuse.
After finishing the story about Chen Qi, the agent then asked mysteriously, "Do you know who gave Chen Qi the key?"
