However, Fan Tianze's mind was currently consumed with thoughts of "heat" and "popularity." He couldn't afford to care about much else. His main concern wasn't what Jiang Yiqing might predict for him, but whether Jiang Yiqing would overshadow him with his charm.

After all, Jiang Yiqing's face didn't need any touch-ups; it was way more dazzling than his.

So, Fan Tianze carefully dressed up and successfully connected with Jiang Yiqing, and that's when everything that just happened unfolded.

Now, hearing that Jiang Yiqing was going to do a fortune reading for him and send him to the trending list, Fan Tianze instinctively felt that it couldn't be anything good. He immediately tried to reject it, but Jiang Yiqing didn't give him a chance.

"Fan Tianze, with your strength and popularity, you shouldn't have made it this far. You should've been eliminated already," Jiang Yiqing said before Fan Tianze could disconnect the call.

Fan Tianze's fingers froze, momentarily forgetting what he was about to do. He stiffly smiled and said, "Maybe I'm just lucky."

"Lucky?" Jiang Yiqing laughed. "If using underhanded tactics to harm others and achieve your goals counts as good luck, then your luck is indeed very good."

Fan Tianze immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I've relied on myself all the way. How could I harm others? If I had harmed anyone, I wouldn't still be here!"

Jiang Yiqing couldn't be bothered to argue with him and said directly, "There's an idol you're close with, what's his name... Oh, Yuan Min. He's very strong and has good popularity. He was guaranteed a debut spot, but when the competition narrowed down to the final twenty, he suddenly announced he was quitting. If he hadn't quit, you wouldn't have had any chance."

Fan Tianze instinctively said, "That's his own problem. He had no choice but to quit the competition in the end. What does that have to do with me?!"

Jiang Yiqing rested his chin on his hand and smiled at him. "Is that so?"

As soon as Jiang Yiqing mentioned Yuan Min, his fans flooded into the livestream, leaving comments in the chat.

"Ugh, I just can't accept this! Like the host said, Yuan Min was definitely going to debut, but for some reason, he suddenly quit. I've supported him for so long, I was honestly so angry I couldn't sleep!"

"The person above, I've heard some rumors. It seems like... Yuan Min got some weird illness."

"What's up with Fan Tianze? He used to be so close to Yuan Min. After Yuan Min quit, I started supporting him, and now he's acting like this!"

"Yuan Min's fans, don't worry, I can see it in Jiang Yiqing's eyes. Your idol's withdrawal probably has something to do with Fan Tianze!"

"Yeah, I think so too. I've got my snacks ready, I'm waiting for some drama!"

Fan Tianze, of course, didn't see the comments. He didn't have the energy or the mood to look at them. He tried to smile, to make himself look like he wasn't guilty, but only he knew how stiff his smile really was.

He didn't even know what he was saying anymore, only instinctively defending himself. "Master Jiang, what do you mean by that? Are you implying this has anything to do with me? Yuan Min took the competition seriously. There's no way I could have made him quit."

"Oh, so you know how seriously he took the competition?" Jiang Yiqing crossed his arms and squinted at him, his voice slow and deliberate. "Since you understand that, as his good friend, what did you do? I'm afraid Yuan Min still doesn't know that the reason he had to quit was because of you, right?"

"You... You're slandering me!" Fan Tianze's eyes nearly popped out of his head. He was really scared now. He had no idea what to do, so he could only stubbornly refuse to admit it.

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "I'm slandering you? Did I tell you to secretly put growth hormones for pigs in Yuan Min's water bottle every day, making him gain weight unnaturally, forcing him to quit? Is that not you?"

Jiang Yiqing's expression slowly turned cold, his body slightly leaning forward. He looked at Fan Tianze, speaking each word slowly and with heavy pressure. "Fan Tianze, wasn't that you? That was your friend. Doesn't your conscience bother you? Oh, I almost forgot—you don't have a conscience!"

Each word carried a heavy sense of oppression, and Fan Tianze's breath became ragged. He stood up, yelling, his face red and his neck bulging. "What does it have to do with me?! He couldn't control his weight, so he got fat and had to quit! That's his own problem! What does that have to do with me?"

"I advanced because of my own ability! His quitting has nothing to do with me! Even if he hadn't quit, I would have still advanced!" Fan Tianze wasn't particularly talented, but he had a strong sense of pride. Even though he knew Jiang Yiqing was telling the truth, he refused to admit it.

He had made it this far because of his own effort, and he wouldn't let it be overshadowed by Yuan Min's withdrawal. He refused to live in someone else's shadow.

Jiang Yiqing didn't respond. He just smiled, as if he had heard a funny joke.

Fan Tianze gritted his teeth in anger, feeling that Jiang Yiqing was mocking him. He snapped, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Don't laugh at me!"

Jiang Yiqing thought that Fan Tianze was probably mentally unstable, perhaps due to long-term jealousy of others leading to some psychological issues.

"You don't have to admit to what you did right now. It's fine. As long as Yuan Min undergoes a thorough medical examination, it will be clear. His hormone levels were way too high." Jiang Yiqing spoke slowly, his voice calm. "And then, do you think the police won't figure out who poisoned him?"

Fan Tianze's eyes widened, and he demanded, "Why are you going against me too? I just want to debut, to make a name for myself. Why does everyone have to treat me like this?"

Wanting to make a name for yourself wasn't wrong, but using underhanded tactics to achieve that goal by harming others was a completely different matter. It was downright absurd!

Yet, Fan Tianze didn't even think he had done anything wrong. To have the nerve to ask such a question, his face was truly thick beyond measure.

At that moment, the viewers in the livestream, especially Yuan Min's fans, completely lost it and flooded the chat with messages.

Bullet comments:

"Is this for real? Poisoning someone? That's just disgusting. Also, what's this about pig hormones? That sounds wild."
