Dancing on the Edge of Death

The broadcast of "Tomorrow's Star Show" was a milestone.

Originally, Bai Youlou had repeatedly trended with one high-quality song after another. To some extent, his talent had already "conquered" quite a few people.

Or rather, online, he was being cursed at while plenty of people were still following his music.

Bai Youlou, Bai Youlou, Bai Youlou. Whether people hated him, liked him, or felt indifferent toward him, this name had been entering everyone's line of sight in all kinds of ways lately.

Some people who couldn't wait to cash in on the traffic had even started doing covers.

The argument that "It's such a shame~" was gaining more and more traction.

Then, right at that moment, "Miss Dong" burst onto the scene!

The song's quality was definitely no higher than the previous few, but with songs, sometimes the story behind them was even more "heartwarming."

Just the three words "Miss Dong" were enough to make the gossip-hungry masses imagine all sorts of things, let alone the content of the entire song.

If they didn't turn off the filters, the barrage comments on the latest episode of "Tomorrow's Star Show" were already so outrageous that people could barely see the program.

Packed tight! Absolutely terrifying!

At the same time, #"Miss Dong"# dropped straight into first place on the trending list, sparking massive discussion.

In second place was #Fell in Love with a Wild Horse#

In third place was #Just How Wild Is Dong Lu?#

Fourth place

"Damn it, Miss Dong. What a Miss Dong. That bastard Bai Youlou really is insane. I honestly thought he was going to turn things around with his talent."

"Honestly, I'm even more convinced of this guy's talent now. Terrifying talent! This damn thing actually works? He wrote a song specifically for the 'second sister-in-law' who seduced him! And then sang it in front of Zhen Dongjun!"

"If I were Zhen Dongjun, I'd have picked up a knife and hacked Bai Youlou to death on the spot. He went straight for the ultimate attack?!"

"This guy's crazy, but somehow I'm not surprised at all. Don't forget, this guy once held a press conference and said something like: he very flirtatiously told him to drink sugar water."

"Hahaha, I'm starting to like this bastard a little! Keep going, don't stop!"

"What kind of woman is Dong Lu, anyway? Damn, this song is making my heart itch~"

"Bai Youlou is good at everything except that he doesn't like making videos. If he'd only shared a clip for his brothers to see, I'd have said anything to help defend him!"

"Thugs aren't scary. What's scary is when a thug has culture. What's even scarier is when a thug has talent. Zhen Dongjun is already miserable enough, and now this guy's messing with him like this."

"Entertainment industry lunatic!"

"Let me tell you a ghost story. Bai Youlou is playing like this. Could he really have been wronged? Could a normal person actually do something like this?"

"Wronged +1. There's no benefit to him doing this. With the talent he's shown so far, he could sing any other song without a problem. He's deliberately disgusting Zhen Dongjun. There's definitely something fishy going on."

"Stop analyzing it, centrist experts. Wasn't this already confirmed?"

"."

Everything's gone mad. The whole northwest Jin was completely messed up.

The storm and impact caused by one "Miss Dong" were practically more frightening than all the previous songs combined.

As the "victim," Zhen Dongjun was startled when he saw the terrifying amount of traffic. At the same time, he felt somewhat "fortunate."

Fortunately, he had already cleared up the misunderstanding with Bai Youlou.

Because the things he had imagined back then had genuinely started appearing online. Although he seemed to be getting cursed out badly, some "prophets" had already begun to suspect that something was wrong with Bai Youlou's situation.

Bai Youlou was only "testing the waters" right now. It was impossible to imagine what public opinion would become once this guy revealed his "full firepower."

Favoritism!

Unquestionable favoritism.

Zhen Dongjun knew Bai Youlou's current financial situation very well. If he hadn't extorted two million yuan from Zhen Dongjun, Bai Youlou wouldn't even have had the money to go to Cannes for publicity and buy advertising space. There was no way he could afford to hire paid posters to whitewash himself.

So those "centrist experts" online had definitely been influenced by his talent. Before this, Bai Youlou had kept a low profile, yet the entire internet had cursed him to hell.

Back then, nobody had said anything like, "Maybe he was wronged."

"I'm losing my damn mind here!"

"Old Zhen, what the hell are you spouting now?" Bai Youlou asked, his face full of confusion.

Damn, Zhen Dongjun was putting on another act. This guy's desire to perform was seriously strong. He'd even heard that Zhen Dongjun had specially gone home to look after his child yesterday.

He had posted several photos in succession, all showing affectionate interactions with his daughter.

Naturally, the comments below had been filled with "sympathy" and "comfort."

It was hard not to suspect this guy's motives~

Zhen Dongjun shook his head. "I don't even dare imagine what public opinion will become once the video in my hands is released. You'll definitely make a complete comeback, but exactly how far you'll rise..."

"What's there not to imagine? I dare to imagine it." Long Ziqiang cut in. "You'll definitely return to the top tier~ But I feel like Brother Lou probably isn't interested in continuing to be an idol."

"Heh. What respectable person becomes an idol~ Are you going to be an idol?" Zhen Dongjun said disdainfully, with a hint of envy. If only he had Bai Youlou's ability to soar!

Long Ziqiang hurriedly shook his head. Damn it, even if he wanted to be one, he couldn't.

"Whether I make a comeback or not doesn't matter. If you can stand being patient, you can keep holding it back and never release it." Bai Youlou spoke disdainfully.

Zhen Dongjun was speechless. He had already tried using the video in his hands to "get a handle" on Bai Youlou.

But after probing several times, he discovered that Bai Youlou genuinely didn't care.

So he could only change the subject. "What were you talking about just now? I came in and heard you mentioning Huaxing Entertainment. Are you worried about Zhang Xiaorong? That girl really is fierce. She's the only contestant on this show who can threaten you, and she also has Huaxing's backing."

Bai Youlou and Old Zhou exchanged a glance. "Do you know any inside information?"

"I used to work at Huaxing. It's a major company, very powerful. Even with your talent, you might not necessarily beat them. After all, they also have powerful songwriters supporting them from behind. Your chances of winning with original songs aren't high."

Zhen Dongjun was still being tactful. "Your chances of winning aren't high?" He couldn't win at all!

If Zhang Xiaorong really had Huaxing supporting her, then she was the predetermined champion.

And even judging by ability alone, her stage presence and song quality weren't inferior to Bai Youlou's.

It was obvious that Huaxing wanted to use "The Voice" as a stage to launch Zhang Xiaorong. Who could fail to see that?

They had even sent An Luning to openly act as part of her support group.

"But honestly, if I were from Huaxing, I'd definitely keep you until the end so that you could serve as Zhang Xiaorong's stepping stone. Eliminating you would let that girl soar on the spot and gain near-A-list fame. The momentum would be maxed out, the popularity would be maxed out, and your reputation is already bad. They could also claim the moral high ground. Besides, they don't know that I have a video proving your innocence."

With the initial information being wrong, an analysis based on a bunch of wild guesses naturally led to a completely wrong conclusion~

But Bai Youlou and the others didn't interrupt him. Instead, they asked, "What's Huaxing Company like internally?"

"Internally?" Zhen Dongjun looked at them strangely. "I left nearly ten years ago, so I really don't know what it's like inside anymore. But their boss, President Lin, left quite a deep impression on me. He's a very capable person. Oh, right, here's a piece of gossip. You know An Luning, right? I heard someone say last time that Huaxing Company's boss might be her godfather!"

Godfather?!

That wasn't exactly a flattering term!

Combined with the knowing smile on Zhen Dongjun's face, damn it, he clearly meant that kind of thing!

While Old Zhou was shocked, he grabbed Bai Youlou's arm, afraid that Bai Youlou might lose his temper and pin Zhen Dongjun down for a beating.

After all, An Luning was Bai Youlou's unattainable ideal. Who could withstand a shock like that?

But Bai Youlou merely stared at Old Zhou speechlessly. "Take your filthy paws off me. You get excited whenever you hear gossip, don't you?"

Old Zhou withdrew his hand sheepishly. He didn't react at all? So calm?

But Bai Youlou was a little unhinged these days. Who knew if he might suddenly explode later?

So he hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Can this kind of gossip even be trusted?"

Yet the suicidal Zhen Dongjun had gotten even more carried away. "I think it's pretty credible. A female celebrity has not a single scandal in the industry and hasn't encountered any shady nonsense either. Either the man sleeping with her is extremely powerful, or the man sleeping with her mother is extremely powerful! President Lin from Huaxing already has a wife and children, so it definitely isn't the latter."

"What if her family is rich?"

"Being rich isn't enough to receive this kind of treatment. An Luning's treatment at Huaxing is ridiculously generous. My information came straight from inside their company." Zhen Dongjun sounded extremely confident. He even added, "Actually, I also feel that Zhang Xiaorong might be a little—"

Old Zhou covered his face. Damn, Zhen Dongjun insisted on dancing on the edge of death. There was no stopping him!
