Netizens:

"!!! HOLY—That's a nuclear-grade drama bomb."

"I knew something juicy was coming!"

"Eight?! That's not an idol, that's a tentacle monster."

The moment the young lady dropped that bombshell, Lai Yunyi's name shot straight up the trending searches.

And the trending tags? Absolutely explosive:
#Lai Yunyi's Eight Girlfriends
#Is Lai Yunyi An Octopus
#The Young Lady Exposes Lai Yunyi

In an instant, whether they were fans, haters, or just random bystanders, everyone lost their minds. Damn—this was the scandal of the year.

Fans were furious. Haters were ecstatic. And the bystanders? They swarmed in like rats to a melon field.

No matter where they stood, they all rushed into Jiang Yiqing's livestream.

Watching the viewer count shoot up like crazy, Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but sigh. So this is what top-tier popularity looks like, huh?

But as more and more people flooded in, some of Lai Yunyi's more unhinged fans started to go feral, throwing insults like confetti and going after the young lady with full-blown verbal assaults. It was so nasty, Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but frown.

His livestream had always been chill and peaceful, so he'd never even bothered setting up any mods.

Jiang Yiqing said, "Watch your language. If you don't, you'll get kicked. Also, just a kind little reminder—whoever curses people out today, you're in for some bad luck."

Not long after, Jiang Yiqing quickly added some new mods, and they started booting people. But Lai Yunyi's fanbase was huge—kick one wave and another came crashing in.

Comments:

"Pfft. Who is this scammer? I'll curse if I want! Bad luck? I hope your whole family gets run over by a car!"

"What influencer even is this? Trying to ride our brother's fame? Better watch your back—I just found your home address."

"Our brother's just too nice, letting all these leeches cling onto him like that. Nasty b*tch."

"Hehehe, check out my profile—I just Photoshopped someone's funeral pic lol."

Even though the young lady had mentally prepared herself for this, getting bombarded by so much hate all at once still hit her hard. Her face went pale, palms sweaty, and for a moment, she had no idea what to do.

"Tsk, won't be long before they stop yelling," Jiang Yiqing muttered with a helpless shake of his head. These people... Don't say he didn't warn them.

Cursing people out? Yeah, that brought bad luck.

Meanwhile, the moment the topic hit the trending list, Lai Yunyi noticed right away—and he nearly lost it. This woman was crazy, wasn't she?!

He'd always acted so recklessly because he believed the young lady would never dare to expose him. If she did, he'd be screwed—and she wouldn't come out clean either.

With how savage his fanbase was, they could force her off the internet.

So when she actually outed him, his eyes practically popped out of his head. He wanted nothing more than to reach through the screen and strangle her.

A few minutes later, his manager came rushing in.

Just seeing him was enough to ground Lai Yunyi a bit. He sat back down, and before the manager could even say anything, he snapped, "Whatever you've got to say doesn't matter now. We need to figure out what to do—if we let her keep talking, we're done."

The manager nodded. "Don't worry. Your fans are already freaking out more than you are. They're blowing up the group chats—they'll go all out for you."

Sure enough, Lai Yunyi, who was glued to everything happening, noticed that Jiang Yiqing's livestream was now crawling with his fans, all rabidly tearing into the young lady.

Seeing her face pale, Lai Yunyi's mood instantly lifted. He sneered, "She really thinks people'll just believe whatever she says? She's gotta survive long enough to keep talking, doesn't she?"

"Fans aren't enough," his manager said, not nearly as optimistic. "I already contacted the paid trolls we've worked with before on the way here. They'll start jumping in soon."

He didn't believe those brainless, fight-happy fans alone could turn the tide. What really mattered was deploying the paid online army they'd built from the ground up.

Lai Yunyi was completely relaxed now. He figured there was no way a nobody like the young madam could stir up anything big. He had tons of people working for him—if he went down, they'd all be out of a job. Those people were way more desperate than he was. Honestly, he couldn't believe he'd actually worried for a second that she could bring him down. Yeah, that was just him overthinking it.

With that thought, Lai Yunyi let out a lazy yawn and picked up his phone to scroll through something else. "Brother, you handle it. I trust you've got it covered," he said.

The manager glanced at him, low-key annoyed. This guy was unbelievably dumb—he had nothing going for him besides his looks. Seriously, what did his fans even like about him?

Still, annoyance was one thing. The manager didn't want Lai Yunyi to fall either. After all, they were in the same boat.

So, he gave the order to have the paid trolls go after the young madam immediately.

The reply came in fast: "OK. What's the budget this time?"

"Don't worry, full rate," the manager answered right away. He was going all in this time.

Soon, another wave of people flooded into Jiang Yiqing's livestream. But these weren't the clueless fans from before who only knew how to curse and rage.

This group was clearly coordinated and strategic, targeting the young madam with so-called dirt. Most of it was made-up, of course, but who cared? As long as the public believed it, that was enough.

It was the simplest—and most effective—method.

In a situation like this, the top priority wasn't proving Lai Yunyi's innocence, but instead flipping the script and attacking the young madam's weak spots. Make the public see her as a shady, untrustworthy person, and they'd start doubting everything she said.

Even if some of it was actually true.

Of course, before going down that route, they made sure to ask Lai Yunyi if she had any solid evidence.

Lai Yunyi had confidently said no. Worst case, he'd just admit they dated. A greedy ex-girlfriend trying to blackmail him? When it didn't work, she turned around and spread lies online? He could even spin it into a sob story and gain some sympathy.
