That top fan of yours stopped being a fan!

The assistant lurking in the fan group frantically called Lu Xingluo, who was still happily looking forward to what was coming.

Wearing a medical face mask that cost over a thousand yuan to reduce the swelling, Lu Xingluo slowly answered the call and put it on speaker.

Her assistant, Fangfang, shouted, "Luoluo, something huge has happened!"

Lu Xingluo stuck out her pinky as she speared a piece of strawberry with her fork and asked casually, "What is it? Why are you so worked up?"

Fangfang said, "That top fan of yours stopped being a fan!"

Clatter-

The little fork fell to the floor. Half the mask on Lu Xingluo's face peeled off as she grew agitated. "Why did he stop being a fan?"

Fangfang spoke very quietly. "He said he used to be blind, but now he can see again. He also said two slaps from your broke relatives weren't enough. He's already deleted every post about you from his Weibo account and left the fan groups. There's only one QQ fan group he hasn't left yet.

"It's only been a little over ten minutes, and the paparazzi and gossip bloggers who caught wind of it online have already started speculating about whether something has gone wrong between us and the fans."

Lu Xingluo ripped the mask off her face and demanded furiously, "What exactly does he mean by this? Why would he suddenly do this? Does he even realize how much influence his account has in the entertainment industry?

"So many celebrities and paparazzi are watching him!

"Making such a big move now-he's trying to destroy me!"

Fangfang asked, "Then what do we do now? Have PR contact him?

"Actually, I suspect someone might have tricked him. That person might be someone he likes, which is why his personality suddenly changed so much and he doesn't want to follow celebrities anymore.

"We can send someone to have a proper talk with him and calm him down. Since he doesn't want to follow celebrities anymore anyway, we might as well buy his account, then post on Weibo saying the account was hacked, which was why all the posts were deleted."

Lu Xingluo thought for a moment. "All right. Prepare a backup plan too. If he refuses to sell the account, we'll post first and say he used his status as a top fan to try to arrange an offline meeting with me. I refused, so he did all this to try to destroy me!"

Fangfang said, "Okay. You've really thought of everything. I'll arrange it right away."

Li Yi couldn't be bothered to argue with the worked-up, brainless fans in the group and simply left it.

Light of Xingluo and several longtime fans hurriedly sent him private messages: Bro, my dear brother, what's going on with you? You've left us completely at a loss.

None of Your Peace: I just don't want to follow celebrities anymore. If you want to keep doing it, watch out for a stab in the back.

Light of Xingluo: A stab in the back? What do you mean? Are you saying Luoluo will betray me?

None of Your Peace: It's just a casual warning. Believe it or not, it's up to you. Either way, I won't be getting involved in her affairs anymore.

Light of Xingluo was among the wealthiest of Lu Xingluo's fans. Whenever Lu Xingluo endorsed a product, Light of Xingluo was the one organizing everyone to buy it.

But once, when Lu Xingluo teamed up with a major livestreamer to sell products on a livestream, she failed to verify their authenticity beforehand and sold hundreds of thousands of orders of counterfeit goods.

The products sold that time happened to be food, and many people developed problems after eating them.

Most people had trusted Lu Xingluo because of her image as the nation's daughter and placed orders for that reason. Quite a few went on Weibo to demand an explanation and compensation from her, but Lu Xingluo's team shifted the blame onto the major livestreamer's team and the manufacturers.

They incited her fans to attack the major livestreamer.

Meanwhile, in the fan group, Light of Xingluo quietly paid out of his own pocket to take back the problematic products and compensate the fans for their losses. Only then did their anger subside.

Only the longtime fans and Li Yi knew about this. New fans and casual fans all thought Lu Xingluo's team had done it.

Quite a few people posted screenshots of their compensation on Weibo and praised Lu Xingluo for handling things well, saying she truly deserved to be called the nation's daughter.

That earned Lu Xingluo another wave of goodwill from the general public.

Lu Xingluo took the opportunity to post on Weibo, soothing the fans who had received compensation and claiming credit for the matter. She never once thanked Light of Xingluo throughout the whole affair, nor did her team contact Light of Xingluo privately.

Sometimes, they even complained that Light of Xingluo bought too little of the jewelry Lu Xingluo endorsed and wasn't qualified to be one of her top fans, stripping him of his position in the fan support club.

Li Yi didn't know what happened after that. He had died later.

Light of Xingluo stared at None of Your Peace's message in silence for a long while before typing a reply: I'll give what you said serious consideration. Since you've already decided to leave, I won't try to force you to stay. I hope we can still be friends.

None of Your Peace: Of course we're friends. You can come chat with me anytime.

Li Yi didn't offer much of a warning to the other longtime fans. He simply said he didn't want to follow celebrities anymore.

Just then, a stranger sent him a QQ friend request. Li Yi ignored it, but the other person added a note.

-Hello, I'm Lu Xingluo's manager. Please accept my request. I'd like to discuss something with you.

Lu Xingluo's team wanted to add him for no other reason than to ask why he, a top fan, had stopped being a fan.

-You're asking why I stopped being a fan, right? Sorry, it's for personal reasons, and I'd rather not disclose them.

-Since you're no longer a fan, could you sell us your Weibo and QQ accounts? Name your price.

-They're my personal property. Not for sale.

-Mr. Guan, you've followed Xingluo for so many years. Surely you know your account has a certain amount of influence? Suddenly quitting like this is very damaging to our Xingluo.

-Not my fucking problem.

-If you refuse to listen to reason, don't blame us for taking forceful measures. When that happens, you'll regret what you've done today!

-Threatening me? Bring it on!

-You!

The manager was so angry he nearly smashed his phone. A mere fan dared to treat him like this!

"Find a skilled hacker and hack his Weibo account. See if the old posts can be restored. If they can't, use his account to post something and stabilize the situation first."

"Have the PR department prepare a few press releases to keep on hand. We need to take the initiative and pin all the blame on None of Your Peace."

A stir gradually began online. Lu Xingluo's rivals seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and put out several press releases in a row, portraying None of Your Peace's deletion of all his Weibo posts as a falling-out between a fan and Lu Xingluo.

They also took the opportunity to expose all of Lu Xingluo's past dirt. Previously, whenever these scandals surfaced, they would soon be taken down by hackers.

But now that None of Your Peace had deleted his posts and left, who else could protect Lu Xingluo?

Everyone rushed in to kick her while she was down.

Lu Xingluo and her team were frantic. After relying on None of Your Peace for several peaceful years, they had long since been spoiled to the point that they no longer knew how to fight back.

The moment their rivals attacked them, they all started floundering.

Fangfang slapped her forehead. "I'll say something in the group and ask the fans to help. They've all taken part in efforts to counter smear campaigns before. Even without None of Your Peace leading them, they definitely know more about how to counter these attacks than we do."
