Chapter 65: Chapter 065: No More Chance to Turn the Tables Chapter 65: Chapter 065: No More Chance to Turn the Tables Online.
Hashtags like #ActorEmperorBigCollapse#, #StolenActorEmperor?#, #ActorEmperorMurdersYoungActress# surged to the top trends.
The top trend was #ActorEmperorBigCollapse#, even marked with the word “explosive”.
The top of the trending list was filled with evidence of Tao Rongye’s dirty tricks and scheming behind the scenes.
Stories of how he previously framed other celebrities causing them to lose their career path, his two-faced nature, and secret parties with several female stars, were all exposed.
The title of Actor Emperor that he had sealed was actually given up for him by someone else; in the hashtag #StolenActorEmperor# there was a very long recording.
In it was a conversation with his contemporary, Li Yanbai, clear as day.
Song Xuan was mentioned as well.
Li Yanbai, the one involved in relationship rumors with Song Xuan.
An actor whose skills were unknown how many times better than Tao Rongye’s.
Back then, his and Tao Rongye’s TV dramas aired concurrently.
Tao Rongye received some insider tips claiming that the Actor Emperor title was to be awarded to Li Yanbai.
So he sneakily approached Li Yanbai, and in every word he spoke, there was a hint of Song Xuan.
Tao Rongye knew that Li Yanbai had liked Song Xuan since high school, yet he pretended to be oblivious and shamelessly pursued Song Xuan.
He even asked Li Yanbai to help him chase Song Xuan, and under such onslaught, Song Xuan fell.
Because of Song Xuan, Li Yanbai gave up the title of Actor Emperor and since then, never starred in another drama and instead moved to film.
Song Xuan cooperated with Xinyu to bring about Tao Rongye’s downfall, but never imagined that at that very moment, Tao Rongye would turn to Li Yanbai.
Even more shocking was the third hashtag on the trending list.
Liu Su had someone analyze the obscured underwater footage, and though quite subtle, they still found evidence of Tao Rongye with his hands around Shen Yan’s neck.
Within that, Mu Jincheng too was caught with a piece of rope in hand, just as he released his grip in panic, which ironically helped clear Mu Jincheng’s name.
But because of this, Tao Rongye plunged into another wave of controversy.
The talent agency’s public relations couldn’t keep up, as netizens flocked to their official social media to curse.
Layers of damning information were unearthed, shattering the pupils of Tao Rongye’s true fans.
They could never have imagined that the Actor Emperor they idolized was such a despicable person behind the scenes!
Many true fans couldn’t accept it and confronted him on Tao Rongye’s Weibo.
His agent’s phone was bombarded until they finally gave up struggling.
Renowned in the circle as a good guy, to fall so dramatically overnight was jaw-dropping!
People within the circle speculated on who Tao Rongye could have possibly offended, to have the capability to pull him down from his divine Actor Emperor pedestal so ruthlessly.
Afternoon.
Tao Rongye left with an air of defeat and a grim demeanor.
The look in the eyes of everyone on the island turned from admiration to disgust and fear.
Director Li accompanied him out with a few others, forcing a dry laugh as they saw Tao Rongye off.
As they passed by Shen Yan, Tao Rongye swept her a dark and icy glare.
It was as if he wanted nothing more than to pounce on Shen Yan and tear her to pieces.
Tao Rongye could never have imagined he would be defeated by a young actress.
Did he regret what he did under the water? He couldn’t say.
If he had another chance, he would finish Shen Yan off!
Shen Yan raised her hand, touched the gauze on her neck, and suddenly gave Tao Rongye a faint smile.
But this smile, in Tao Rongye’s eyes, was a provocation!
Facing such a provocation, Tao Rongye was utterly powerless to do anything about it!
Qin Dingyue moved closer to Shen Yan and tugged at her sleeve, “Yanyan, did you see that just now? Emperor Tao’s gaze was so terrifying!”
Shen Yan responded with a faint smile.
“Yanyan, I’m just glad you’re okay. My God, I would never have imagined Emperor Tao could be so deranged, no, why would he want to hurt you?” Qin Dingyue covered her mouth as if struck by a sudden thought, her gaze on Shen Yan turning into one of pity and sympathy, “Were you, were you forced by him!”
For someone like Tao Rongye, seeing such a beautiful Yanyan, he surely couldn’t move a muscle, right?
Even she, as a girl, felt her legs tremble in the presence of such a stunningly beautiful sister, let alone men!
The others, upon hearing Qin Dingyue’s words, rolled their eyes speechlessly.
Director Li was stressed to death.
First, Xu Zishen was removed, then Liu Qiang, and now Tao Rongye.
Director Li felt like everyone he saw could be the next guest to be blacked out!

After Tao Rongye left, he kept looking for old connections, only to find each one making excuses to brush him off.
Those who once called him brother couldn’t avoid him fast enough.
He called Song Xuan, knowing well that she must be in on it, and all he wanted to do was to ask her why she had done this to him!
Song Xuan picked up the phone.
Her voice was cold as she spoke, “Tao Rongye, we’re officially breaking up.”
“Tao Rongye, you’re framing me!” Tao Rongye almost roared.
“Framing you? If you hadn’t done those things, would you be in this predicament? Was it you who stirred up the old scandal about me and Li Yanbai a couple of days ago? Don’t deny it, I have already looked into it very clearly. Tao Rongye, you truly disgust me.”
“Disgusting? And you? Even though you were with me, you were unclear with Li Yanbai, so who is truly disgusting? Song Xuan, you must have slept with Li Yanbai’s bed, haven’t you? You always hesitate to even kiss me, but you’ve gone behind my back and rolled into bed with him, you whore.”
“Tao Rongye!”
Song Xuan roared with anger.
Tao Rongye had lost all reason and mocked, “To me, you’ve always been like Jade, preserving your purity on his behalf. Song Xuan, I’m a man, how can I not have my needs. Since you can’t fulfill them, don’t blame me for seeking out others.”
“Tao Rongye, you’re really disgusting. Just thinking about the years I’ve spent dating you makes me sick,” Song Xuan felt she would hate to keep talking to him, preferring to strangle him instead.

After receiving the call from President Kang, Liu Su found Shen Yan, “Miss Shen can rest assured now, Tao Rongye will never be able to turn the tables again and won’t have any chance to harm you.”
“Thank you for your efforts!”
“Miss Shen, why say such things? This is what I should do as your agent. He dared to reach out to Miss Shen without seeing what he’s really worth,” Liu Su’s eyes turned cold!
Shen Yan looked forward and said, “It looks like this episode of the show will have to end early too.”
Director Li was busy finding someone to come in as a temporary guest, rather overwhelmed.
Filming was suspended for the day; after such an incident, they couldn’t continue with the survival tasks, so Director Li gathered a few guests to showcase their talents in front of the camera.
In the live broadcast room, the Fireworks fans were leaving comments expressing their sympathy for Shen Yan.
It was unclear what kind of grudge or resentment Tao Rongye held against Shen Yan to want to murder her!
That night, everyone learned that Director Li had invited Li Xu and Dai Molin to come in as replacement guests.
Both were guests on the romance show with Tao Rongye, and their arrival as substitutes made everyone feel a bit uneasy.
Praying privately that nothing else would go wrong in the last two days.
Shen Yan had just lay down with her phone when she received a message from Liu Su.
[Did Miss Shen say goodnight to Sir yet? For the sake of family harmony, Miss Shen should try to communicate more with Sir through messages!]
Shen Yan: “…”
In the end, she casually sent “Goodnight” to Qi Si.
After a moment’s thought, she added, [The matter has been resolved perfectly.]
Qi Si felt a strange sensation receiving a goodnight message in broad daylight.
Qi Si responded expressionlessly with a single “Hmm,” not bothering to type another word.
