Chapter 153 The Mastermind: Jiang Songchu
Upon hearing this, the audience members all took out their phones, ready to vote for their favorite contestants.
Qi Shao continued, "It's 4:17 PM now, and there are less than three hours until the second round of the competition. Please vote for your favorite contestant!"
The audience and online fans were thrilled, and the voting campaign quickly heated up.
"In the next segment, we will be hosting performances by the contestants who participated in the program. Please give them a round of applause!"
As soon as Qi Shao finished speaking, the audience erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
Amid cheers from the audience, contestants who had previously participated in the show took to the stage one after another, delivering wonderful performances.
Their dance moves were varied and their styles diverse, presenting a visual feast for the audience.
However, this caused a huge uproar online.
The unexpected incident on stage has sparked heated discussions among netizens, with various speculations and comments spreading rapidly online.
"This is absolutely a mistake by the production team. How could they let such a basic error happen?" one netizen commented indignantly.
"I don't think things are that simple; there must be someone manipulating things behind the scenes," another netizen speculated, suggesting a conspiracy theory.
Tian Qiushui's fans were even more emotional, expressing their indignation on her behalf: "Qiushui is so pitiful. She was so well prepared, but she was affected by this accident."
"Look, Jiang Songchu is the beneficiary of the whole incident; she has benefited the most." One netizen's comment was like a bombshell, instantly igniting public opinion.
“Yes, based on the principle that whoever benefits the most is the murderer, Jiang Songchu is very likely the mastermind behind it all!” another netizen chimed in.
These comments quickly gained the approval of many people, especially Tian Qiushui's fans, as well as fans who had previously stuck to their own opinions.
Seeing Jiang Songchu dragged into the vortex of public opinion, they jumped around excitedly, as if they had found an outlet for their venting, and quickly stirred up the waters, trying to completely smear Jiang Songchu.
However, even in this chaos, there are plenty of clever people.
They calmly analyzed the whole incident and came to completely different conclusions.
"You say Jiang Songchu benefited the most? Actually, that's not necessarily true."
"Look at this vortex of public opinion now, even the spittle of passersby could drown her."
"Therefore, I think this was definitely not done by Jiang Songchu."
One netizen offered a rational analysis.
If it's not Jiang Songchu, then who is it?
Netizens began to ponder deeply, but under this powerful public pressure, the truth seemed to be obscured by layers of mystery.
At this moment, Chen Yun was sitting in front of the computer, her brows furrowed, her fingers flying across the keyboard.
She was collecting data from various sources, frowning as she processed the information, afraid of missing a single useful piece of news.
She now knows that this is a trap set by Tong Shicheng for Jiang Songchu, but how was it done?
How he successfully replaced the song remains a mystery.
She was well aware of the seriousness of this media battle; if evidence could not be found in time, Jiang Songchu's reputation and future prospects would be severely affected.
She analyzed the data while thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Tian Qiushui was also in trouble at this time.
At this point, because her assistant had been bribed, her phone was confiscated when she went on stage again.
She wanted to speak out and explain the truth, but at that moment she was like a lone tree standing alone, with no way to do so.
At this point, all she could do was wait—wait for the evening's program to end, wait for her turn on stage, wait for the opportunity to express herself to the outside world.
She was extremely anxious, but she could only suppress her emotions and wait for that moment to arrive.
Tong Shicheng, Bai Ye'er, and Zhang Baowang behind them were all smiling smugly.
They spared no expense in hiring a large number of online trolls to spread various unfavorable comments about Jiang Songchu online, attempting to guide public opinion.
Many netizens, believing the claims of online trolls and marketing accounts, began to refuse to vote for Jiang Songchu.
Under the brainwashing and guidance of many people, they began to switch their allegiance to Tian Qiushui.
Therefore, Jiang Songchu's votes grew slowly, as if an invisible hand was choking her.
Therefore, whether Jiang Songchu can make it to the finals remains to be seen.
The public opinion storm triggered by this accident continues to escalate...
Netizens expressed their opinions, with some defending Tian Qiushui and others questioning Jiang Songchu's professional ethics.
Even more extreme, some have pointed the finger at the entire Hongtian Entertainment, questioning its chaotic internal management and why actresses from the same company would turn against each other.
Qin Tianyi naturally received the news as well. He frowned, sat in front of his computer, and quickly browsed through the various opinions circulating online.
A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he quickly locked onto a prominent marketing account.
This marketing account went to great lengths to smear Jiang Songchu, making those fabricated accusations sound as if they were firsthand accounts. However, due to his influence, many people began to believe the existence of these accusations.
"Huh, clown!"
Qin Tianyi snorted coldly, quickly took out his computer, and began to crack the data.
Before long, he successfully uncovered the transaction records between this marketing account and Tong Shicheng.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he traced back step by step.
Not long after, the crucial information that the production team had already found someone to replace the song was finally discovered in Bai Ye'er's chat history with Tong Shicheng.
However, one question lingered in Qin Tianyi's mind: "Since Tong Shicheng and his team could directly send the replacement song to the internal staff, why did they go through the trouble of sending the correct version of the song first?"
Just as he was deep in thought, Jiang Songchu made new progress.
During the break in the program, she did not choose to be idle. Instead, she took the system with her and went to the backstage of the program under the pretext of changing clothes.
As she walked, she pondered, trying to use mathematical thinking to deduce the whole story.
"System, what do you think are the suspicious points in this matter?" Jiang Songchu asked.
"Master, I think the key point is how the song was replaced, and why Tong Shicheng went to the trouble of sending the correct version of the song," the system replied.
Jiang Songchu nodded and continued walking forward.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped, her eyes lighting up as if she had thought of something.
"Wait, I see! Tong Shicheng sent the correct version of the song to cover up his real purpose."
"He deliberately made us think he had confirmed the correct version, and then secretly tampered with the song and replaced it."
"And he deleted the chat history from Tian Qiushui's phone to make us mistakenly believe that he had not left any trace."
"No, that's not right."
