With so many reporters and onlookers present, Xu Fei was confident that once his collected dirt was exposed, Brother Hao would be drowned in a sea of condemnation.
After hearing this, Brother Hao hurriedly shook his head.
“No, no, no… that’s not true! The video slandering me is obviously fake, but the earlier one about Hua Ling is definitely real!”
Xu Fei wasn’t surprised by Brother Hao’s response, having prepared for both scenarios.
“You say the video about Hua Ling was real, do you? Fine, let’s see what these people have to say!”
As soon as Xu Fei finished speaking, Pu Tao sent over a few individuals.
Among them were none other than the hacker expert Brother Hao had hired at great expense and the woman he paid to impersonate Hua Ling.
“You may not know these people, but let me introduce them.”
“This is the hacker expert Brother Hao hired at great cost, and this woman is the stand-in who impersonated Hua Ling.”
“Brother Hao used these tactics together to fabricate the video you all saw earlier. Now do you understand?”
After Xu Fei spoke, the crowd suddenly realised the truth, and Brother Hao, seeing this, panicked.
He thought to himself that he had spent so much to hold this grand press conference, only to end up paving the way for someone else.
Unwilling to accept defeat, Brother Hao grabbed the microphone again and shouted.
“No, no! You’re slandering me! I don’t even know these people!”
“Besides, if you think the video about Hua Ling is fake, don’t stand there acting as her mouthpiece. If you’re so capable, let her come out and prove it herself!”
Brother Hao had noticed that Hua Ling wasn’t by Xu Fei’s side all this time.
He had indeed arranged for his men to go to Hua Ling’s residence to capture her, as he had bought that house and knew it inside out.
Although his men hadn’t reported back, for Brother Hao, even trapping Hua Ling in her house was a good outcome!
Delaying past the press conference would suffice, as afterwards, no one would believe anything Hua Ling said.
That’s why Brother Hao spoke so smugly.
Xu Fei shook his head helplessly, taking another microphone from a nearby staff member.
“Looks like you really won’t give up until you’re at the end of your rope. Fine, I’ll bring her out!”
This caused a huge stir at the scene, as everyone was eager to see the famous star Hua Ling up close.
Then Xu Fei turned and brought in someone from outside the crowd, dressed in a bulky mascot costume.
Hua Ling knew what she had to do. She raised her hands, removed her headpiece, and revealed her true face.
“Everyone, I’m Hua Ling. Regarding the recent rumours about me online, I want to clarify that they’re all false…”
For Hua Ling, clearing her name was now too easy, as Xu Fei had gathered all the evidence.
This included how Hua Ling’s height didn’t match the stand-in’s, nor did certain physical traits, and even her voice didn’t align.
After Hua Ling’s explanation, everyone at the scene understood and began verbally attacking Brother Hao, demanding an explanation.
