Reactions from All Sides, Bai Ziyu Pulls Another Dirty Framing Stunt

The entertainment industry had always drawn attention, especially its famous stars. Paparazzi practically wanted to dig up your ancestors for eighteen generations. Jiang Fang had already clashed with Bai Ziyu before; Bai Ziyu's paid trolls had failed while framing him, and Bai Ziyu himself was suspected of breaking the law, even provoking B University to come out and protect its student. As a result, the livestream's viewer count multiplied several times over.

If the earlier uproar had mostly involved people in the entertainment industry and random bystanders enjoying the drama, then once this trending topic appeared, everyone in every household, young and old, knew about it.

A popular entertainment star had committed a crime!

One person told ten, ten told a hundred. Weibo did not even last half an hour before crashing again.

With Weibo down, ordinary netizens could only move to other platforms.

It was as if time had turned back. Then Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Tieba... one after another, they all crashed.

History repeated itself with astonishing similarity.

Early that morning, several internet companies suddenly became busy.

"It crashed! It crashed again!" An employee was repeatedly called awake by his supervisor before work hours had even begun. He was on the verge of tears.

"So what caused it this time? It's the weekend, the weekend! I finally had one day off, and now I've been dragged in for overtime again?" A programmer complained helplessly when he ran into another unlucky colleague who had also been summoned to work at the company entrance.

The two were about to clock in when they caught sight of several familiar programmers hurrying into the neighboring building.

They exchanged glances, feeling that the scene was incredibly familiar.

"Did your platform crash too?" a Xiaohongshu programmer quietly asked.

The Douyin programmer, with dark circles under both eyes, nodded expressionlessly. "It crashed."

"Ahhh, why are we working emergency overtime again? Why did it crash again? Who was it? Who the hell was it? I'm going to assassinate him!" An employee from the Tieba building next door rushed over, still grumbling nonstop.

The group exchanged another look, seeing the shared misery in one another's eyes.

"Could some top celebrity couple have gone public?" someone guessed.

"No, it's more terrifying than a top couple going public." Someone in the crowd held up his phone, staring in disbelief at the news notification on the app—#Popular Star Bai Ziyu Suspected of Murder, Failed to Harm Someone and Fell off a Cliff Instead?#

"It seems Bai Ziyu is suspected of murder."

Many people had been dragged into the office early to handle the emergency, still groggy and not fully awake.

"What?"

"Holy shit!"

"Holy shit, holy shit!"

They were suddenly wide awake.

The programmers from the various internet companies exchanged glances, then headed into their offices in perfect unspoken agreement.

"Work, work. I love work!" They needed to get the platforms back up so they could enjoy the drama!

"Right, right, hurry up and get to work, or the netizens will start complaining again."

Half an hour later, the various platforms came back online one after another.

#Bai Ziyu Murdered Jiang Fang# was still floating at the top of the trending list.

The number of clicks kept rising. As time passed, the topic's popularity only increased instead of fading.

By the time Bai Ziyu Studio noticed, it could no longer suppress the news. No matter how much money they offered, the platforms refused to take it down.

[I had just woken up and was about to turn off my alarm and sleep a little longer when I saw the push notification. I thought that trashy news outlet was spreading rumors again, but it was actually true? How could Bai Ziyu dare? In broad daylight, if something really happened to Jiang Fang, with only the two of them there, Bai Ziyu would never be able to clear himself. Why would he bring this trouble upon himself?]

[God, I watched a sister's recording. The part where Bai Ziyu pushed him at the end was terrifying. That look in his eyes—one second later, it felt like his eyeballs were about to burst out.]

[It looked like the two had some kind of dispute, so what kind of grudge did Jiang Fang even have against Bai Ziyu? Bai Ziyu could not have targeted him for no reason, right? There had to be some reason.]

[Here it comes! Victim-blaming may be late, but it always arrives. Even if they really had a grudge, there were plenty of things he could do. Why use such a vicious method? After watching this video, I'm starting to believe what Jiang Fang said before.]

[Before this, Bai Ziyu had too many fans, so I never dared speak up. Zishu used to be a regular at our club, and his skydiving skills were top-notch. He could even guide others. When the news came out, I was stunned. In our line of work, how could someone possibly be that careless? Those are lives we're talking about!]

[The livestream footage is already out. Is anyone still trying to defend him? If Qin Yan had not happened to show up, Bai Ziyu would have succeeded.]

There were quite a few people on the trending topic trying to whitewash Bai Ziyu, but without exception, every single one was torn apart by outraged netizens and did not dare say another word.

The livestream footage was everywhere. With such irrefutable evidence, Bai Ziyu had already offended many people, and this wave was simply everyone kicking him while he was down.

Endorsements were terminated one after another. Stars and artists who had worked with him hastily distanced themselves, and some even came forward to condemn Bai Ziyu...

For a time, Bai Ziyu became a rat crossing the street, condemned by everyone.

B University.

It was the weekend, and most students were still resting when a loud cry of "holy shit" suddenly rang out from the dormitory building.

Countless people were instantly jolted awake.

"Why are you yelling? Do you want people to sleep or not?"

However, the other person was too shocked to pay attention.

"Holy shit! Bai Ziyu tried to murder Jiang Fang?!"

The sheer force of that sentence carried through the entire building, and even the neighboring dormitory building heard it.

"Holy shit? What?"

"What happened?"

One cry of "holy shit" after another rang out, and soon the entire building became lively.

The names Bai Ziyu and Jiang Fang had become extremely familiar to B University students during this period.

Not every B University student liked Jiang Fang, but every B University student shared a hatred for Bai Ziyu!

Not only had he bullied their junior, he had even called B University a gathering place for trash.

The official account had publicly blasted Bai Ziyu before, fiercely protecting its student, which had felt incredibly satisfying to the B University students. They had also watched the video Yu Xingxing mentioned. Everyone had their own opinion—some agreed with Yu Xingxing, while others felt he was being overly suspicious—but overall, everyone reached a good consensus—

Since the school had handed the matter over to the police, they would wait for the police's decision!

No one had expected that before the police results came out, Bai Ziyu would stir up trouble again, pulling the same stunt twice.

At such a sensitive time, he had landed himself on the trending list again over attempted murder.

[Holy shit! Everyone! Bai Ziyu's attempted murder of Jiang Fang is trending!]

[1L: When I saw the trending topic, I wondered if I was dreaming. I thought everyone had been overly suspicious after seeing the earlier video, but after watching the livestream recording just now, I'm stunned. Is this really an entertainment industry star? Is he not some psychopathic murderer from somewhere?]

[2L: There was definitely something wrong with that earlier video. Some computer science big shots processed and analyzed it. For the details, check the analysis thread next door. We absolutely were not making things up.]

[3L: Jiang Fang is way too miserable. If Qin Yan had not happened to see him going up the mountain this time, he probably would have fallen off. Even if he did not die, he would have been seriously injured. But I really do not understand Bai Ziyu's thought process. What benefit was there in targeting Jiang Fang now? Wouldn't that just make people suspect him even more?]

[4L: You can't look at this from an omniscient perspective. Wilderness Survival is a closed-off variety show, so they can't receive any news at all. Put yourself in his shoes—if you had tried to kill someone but failed, and the person you tried to kill knew you were the culprit, could you rest easy? This is called cutting the weeds and pulling out the roots, brothers and sisters! Still, I feel like there's more to this. Junior, come back soon. The entertainment industry is too dangerous!]

...

B University's president's office.

While the students had finally gotten the chance to sleep in over the weekend, the president had risen unusually early.

After learning that one of his students had joined a variety show, the old man, still young at heart, had gone to watch the livestream. Yet for some reason, Jiang Fang's livestream camera had never been on. After hopping through several streams, Qin Yan's was the only one that was live.

Very well, you're the one!

And so, naturally, he witnessed the infuriating attempted murder.

Bang— His hand slammed down on the desk.

"Those beasts! Beasts!"

He had taught for decades, yet he had never seen anyone so audacious—someone who dared harm another person directly on a show, then tried a second time after failing the first!

Did they think Jiang Fang was easy to bully just because he was an orphan?

Zhang Zhengqing was so furious that his face turned red.

He hurriedly contacted the Public Security Bureau and sent over the video he had saved from the internet.

"Director Zhou, you have to get justice for my student. Such a fine child—just look how terrified he is now?"

"President Zhang, rest assured. We will handle this fairly." Zhou Zheng agreed repeatedly before the call finally ended.

"Director Zhou, what's going on?" someone beside him asked.

Zhou Zheng pinched the bridge of his nose and opened the video for everyone to watch.

They had only watched halfway when the office door was suddenly thrown open.

"Director Zhou, it's gone viral online! They're saying Bai Ziyu tried to murder Jiang Fang!"

"I know. Contact the variety show's director first. Stop the broadcast immediately, and tell him not to act rashly. Also, send people to bring Bai Ziyu and Jiang Fang in." The technical department had just finished processing the video B University sent over. When Zhou Zheng opened it, he could clearly see that Jiang Fang had been pushed down by a hand in the little projected screen. Combined with this attempted push, they could already detain Bai Ziyu.

"Yes!"

Jiang Nan did not know about the police station's movements. He only learned that Bai Ziyu had caused trouble again after seeing the news spreading wildly online!

And it was enormous trouble at that!

This was attempted murder!

It was over.

He had clearly intended to end the variety show early, yet he still could not save it.

Seeing the director's wilted expression, a staff member cautiously asked, "Director Jiang, are we still broadcasting?"

"Broadcast? Broadcast what? Does this look like something that can still be broadcast?"

On the island.

A scream startled everyone in the camp awake, and they hurried toward the cliff.

Pain brought Bai Ziyu back to his senses. He did not understand how things had turned out this way.

Still, the current situation coincided with what he had planned before. The only problem was that Qin Yan had suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans, which was rather troublesome.

Thinking of how Qin Yan normally only helped Jiang Fang while ignoring him, Bai Ziyu hardened his heart.

Following the cries of pain, Lin Sen and the others finally found Bai Ziyu, who had rolled to the bottom of the cliff.

He was curled up in the dirt, his body covered in scattered bloodstains. His face was pale, and he looked awful.

"Bai Ziyu? Are you okay?" Lin Sen hurried over, looking extremely anxious on the surface while secretly bursting with joy inside.

Serves you right for always being so smug!

Bai Ziyu had no time to pay attention to him. After glancing at the livestream equipment behind Lin Sen, his expression changed. His eyes reddened, tears hanging unshed as he put on the appearance of someone deeply wronged.

"I'm not seriously hurt. Hurry up and check on Jiang Fang up there. He... seems a little emotional. Be careful." He did not say a single bad thing about Jiang Fang, yet every word implied that Jiang Fang had pushed him down.

Bai Ziyu dared to do this only because he was certain Jiang Fang had not brought livestream equipment. Before rolling down, he had not seen any around Qin Yan either.

He was merely an aggrieved victim.

Little did he know that this one sentence ignited the rage of the entire livestream chat.

[Bai Ziyu, have you no shame at all!!!]
