Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 252: Chapter 249: She Was Attacked by the Entire Network

“`

Even with mental preparation, the shock was still intense.

In the video, Wen Xian was seen violently grabbing a woman’s hair, slapping her across the face multiple times, shouting something, and finally, kicking her viciously.

What she shouted could not be heard by anyone, but the footage of her furiously hitting the woman was seen by everyone, clearly and unmistakably.

The moment the video was released, it shot to the top of the trending searches marked as “hot”.

Within ten minutes of the video’s release, it had already received hundreds of thousands of likes, widely shared, with over two hundred thousand comments pouring in at a frantic pace.

Sister Ling clenched her hand tightly and opened the comments:

Netizen Dream of the Universe: [Oh my god! So cruel, I never thought she was this kind of person!]

Baby Be Happy: [You can’t judge a book by its cover! That’s too much bullying, just because she’s a big star she thinks she can act so recklessly! I’m no longer a fan!]

Coffee Cat k: [I used to like her, but after seeing this video, I can only say I was blind before, blegh–!]

…

Each comment below was more damning than the last.

A rare few asked: [Am I the only one who wants to know why Wen Xian hit someone?]

But that was quickly drowned out by the majority.

Sister Ling slowly put down her phone and looked towards the person still unconscious on the bed.

With a furrowed brow and her deep understanding of the dark side of the entertainment industry, she could see right through it: this wasn’t just about the release of a video showing her in a bad light, but also about countless individuals within the industry who wanted to take this opportunity to kick her while she was down, hiring cyber armies to set the pace and attack her viciously.

After all, Wen Xian was too famous.

The nation’s Goddess.

She rarely appeared in movies, but half of the TV dramas on the air featured her.

A household name.

No matter what, Sister Ling knew this was not going to be an easy battle, especially since the press conference had just ended and many media outlets were still around.

Right now, she urgently notified the public relations department to delegate some important tasks and try her utmost to suppress the scandal.

On the other side, she wanted to wait for her to wake up and get to the bottom of what exactly had happened.

Wen Xian could never have dreamt that, while she lay unconscious with a fever, her social media and everywhere else online would completely explode.

The whole nation was furiously condemning her.

Popularity is like a double-edged sword, it can lift you to the heavens, or plunge you into the abyss!

At that moment.

Not to mention the film crew and the director, why bother shooting a film when such a scandal explodes? Sister Ling’s phone was on the verge of blowing up from calls, and the director and others were in a frantic rush to find Wen Xian.

And they were furious.

After all, the movie had already been promoted, and this wasn’t just any movie–it was a special project with deep social issues such as wildlife protection at its core, aiming for international awards. To have such a scandal break out shortly after filming had started was so much worse than just “bad”!

For the production team, it was a complete disaster!

However.

Just as the internet exploded with universal condemnation, at a city hospital.

Sang Nian was here to take care of Zha Xi and Zhuo Ma.

Lu Xiao had brought them lunch.

They were seriously injured, so based on the doctor’s advice, he brought them some light, almost liquid-like tofu noodles.

At that moment.

The head of the bed was slowly raised, and Zha Xi was propped up against it.

A small table was placed in front of him as he ate with chopsticks.

While scrolling through his phone, he suddenly saw something in the news and his eyes widened in shock.

“Pfft–!”
