Chapter 100 - 100 098 Smashing Trash Explosive Revenge (Second More)

Chapter 100: 098: Smashing Trash, Explosive Revenge (Second More) Chapter 100: 098: Smashing Trash, Explosive Revenge (Second More) Compared to worrying about the foolish things he did back then, Gu Yihuan was more concerned that Xie Shang might be toyed with by Wen Changling.

Gu Yihuan tossed and turned on his bed in agitation, then got up and made a phone call to Xie Shang.

“Fourth Brother.”

He let it sink in, “How’s it going with Miss Wen? Everything smooth?”

“Yeah.”

The reply was somewhat perfunctory.

Meaning he didn’t want to delve into personal matters.

“What are you up to, Fourth Brother?”

“Making an incense seal.”

To make an incense seal, it’s best to use a shallow and wide-mouthed burner. Xie Shang poured the incense ash into the incense burner, in small amounts, multiple times, filling it to about seventy percent.

He placed his phone on the table, speakerphone on.

“Fourth Brother, let me tell you something funny.”

Xie Shang grunted, indicating he was listening.

Gu Yihuan thought about how to begin, “I have a friend.”

Xie Shang couldn’t be bothered to engage, picked up the ash press, and started to compact the incense ash in the burner. From the outside in, gently flattening every bit of it.

“He got himself a girlfriend,” Gu Yihuan got into the details, “My friend is so love-struck, guess what happened in the end?”

The climax approached.

Gu Yihuan didn’t wait for a guess, he spoiled it himself, “Hahahaha, he was tricked by his girlfriend out of a million hahaha.”

In the wooden box beside him were incense seals with various patterns. Xie Shang picked one shaped like a leaf and placed it into the incense burner.

After Gu Yihuan finished his story without getting any feedback, he immediately followed up, “Are you even listening, Fourth Brother?”

“I am.”

“Then do you think my friend is stupid or not?”

Xie Shang grunted, took the incense spoon, and started to fill the seal with agarwood powder. After initially filling it, he used the incense shovel to press it flat, then added more powder and pressed it down again.

This was a slow process that required a lot of patience. During the incense filling, the seal mustn’t be moved, and the powder must be compacted, or else it would break the seal.

After recounting his story, Gu Yihuan felt the need to make a conclusion, “From this incident, I’ve realized something. What, you ask?” He questioned and answered himself, “A man must never be love-struck. Falling in love brings big trouble, being love-

struck leads to eating weeds.”

Did you hear that, Fourth Brother? Don’t be love-struck!

“What do you think, Fourth Brother?”

The final step: lifting the seal.

Xie Shang tapped gently on the edges of the incense seal with the handle of the spoon, waiting for the seal and powder to loosen, then pulled the seal out vertically.

Xie Shang wiped the incense seal clean and put it away, “I think your brain’s been hit by the adulterer Song Sanfang.”

Gu Yihuan: “...”

All said for nothing.

So you see, don’t bother advising your love-struck friend; let him suffer the bitterness of love.

Evening.

Wen Changling was playing a game of “fetch” with Huahua.

The rules of the game were simple: Wen Changling would throw a toy mouse, and Huahua would fetch it, then Wen Changling would reward her with a small dried fish. Such a boring game, and yet both human and cat were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The porridge was already cooking, and Granny Zhu sat in the yard picking vegetables.

Green beans for dinner.

Wen Changling moved a stool over, “Granny, let me help you.”

Huahua ran over as well, still holding the toy mouse in her mouth.

Granny Zhu asked, “Is there some good news?”

“Hm?”

Wen Changling’s eyes curved up in a smile.

Granny Zhu said, “You’re smiling so happily, has something good happened?”

She nodded, her face beaming with joy, “I just cut open a melon, and it was incredibly sweet.”

At seven o’clock sharp that evening, a huge scandal exploded online.

It started with a gossip blogger who posted a video. It was high-definition and censored, featuring men and women, naked, in a room, engaged in a frenzied dance.

[Ah, my eyes!]

[I’m gonna puke]

[Disgusting, what are these people doing?]

[Why is TTS still hopping around, somebody save us, doesn’t anyone care?]

[...]

The entire video lasted two minutes, featuring a total of thirteen people, but only one person’s face wasn’t censored: TTS, Tong Taishi.

Less than ten minutes after the video was released, the blogger deleted it.

Entertainment Circle Mr. Hong Ye: The post just now wasn’t made by me!!! My account was hacked, and even my name got changed!!! Someone is out to get me!!!!

[Don’t be a coward, you never backed down when spreading rumors before]

Entertainment Circle Mr. Hong Ye: [It was really hacked!!!!!!]

Because Mr. Hong Ye had deleted the video so quickly, it didn’t make much of a splash.

At seven thirty sharp.

Entertainment Circle Mr. Lv Ye: [Video]

The video was identical to the one Mr. Hong Ye had posted.

[Is that TTS on the ground?!]

[So gross, he looks like a maggot]

[Seeking a pair of eyes that have never seen this]

[I can’t believe I was a fan of this person, I deserve to die]

[Mr. Hong Ye just left, and now there’s Mr. Lv Ye?]

[...]

This time, it took a bit longer, about twenty minutes, before Mr. Lv Ye deleted the video.

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Lv Ye: My account was hacked and even my name was changed.

Netizen reply: [Another hacked account???!!!]

Do you see ghosts or not?

But there’s something even more ghostly.

Eight o’clock sharp.

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Huang Ye: [Video]

It’s still that two-minute-long video, still showing TTS’s face without any censorship.

The netizens are going crazy.

[My God, what did I just see]

[Can videos now be this explicit?]

[Who knows, my eyes are scorched for the third time]

[Mr. Hong Ye, Mr. Lv Ye, Mr. Huang Ye, it feels like some organization is targeting us]

[What’s happening, what’s happening, what’s happening]

[Something big is about to happen, something big is about to happen, something big is about to happen]

[...]

Mr. Huang Ye deleted the video within ten minutes and debunked it as fake: The video is fake.

[If you’re kidnapped, just post a smile]

Mr. Huang Ye: [Smile]

Half-past eight.

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Lan Ye: [Video]

Again?!

The main goal is to show all the clear-eyed people the filth of the world.

[Saw it again]

[Predicting something big is going to happen in the entertainment industry]

[This is real, right? Real, right? Real, right?]

[Suggest checking it out, the person in the video looks a lot like XD]

[Awesome]

[...]

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Lan Ye deleted the video: Sorry, my account was hacked.

Nine o’clock sharp.

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Qing Ye: [Video]

[I now believe it’s real]

[At TTS’s last concert, it was as if they had hooked up with X, I didn’t dare to say it then, but it must be true]

[I’ve been fortunate to visit End of the Sea once, it’s really like that]

[Who the hell is hacking these accounts, it’s freaking awesome!!!!]

[Hang in there, boss, the Tong family is about to make a move]

[...]

Mr. Qing Ye deleted the video.

Entertainment circle’s Mr. Qing Ye: Sorry, the video isn’t real, someone is spreading rumors.

At ten o’clock, Mr. Hong Ye, Mr. Lv Ye, Mr. Huang Ye, Mr. Lan Ye, Mr. Qing Ye, along with TTS and End of the Sea, all topped the headlines, each followed by a blazing red “explosive” mark.

[Damn it]

[I’m witnessing history]

[I think it’s real]

[This must be some international organization]

[From the first to the last, in two hours they still haven’t caught the hacker, all I can say is you’re the boss, you’re the boss]

[Shouldn’t the focus be on TTS? It needs to be thoroughly investigated]

[Which mastermind is fighting against capital here?]

[...]

Some netizens analyzed: The “Mr. Ye” gentlemen all have two things in common, many fans but usually not involved in human affairs. Perhaps for these two reasons, they were targeted by the hacker. It’s clear from the hacker’s desire to avoid collateral damage that TTS is definitely not innocent. Following this, officials took the field stating their stance, that they must thoroughly investigate.

Second Master Tong and Third Master Tong were both called back by the Tong family patriarch, all gathered at the top level of End of the Sea. If this storm wasn’t handled properly, not only Tong Taishi but the entire Tong family would suffer a significant blow to their vitality.

As soon as the video appeared, Second Master Tong utilized all his connections to contain the situation and started tracking the person behind it. The Tong family hired an entire internet technology team to track down the hacker.

After two hours and countless addresses checked, all were found to be decoys.

Second Master Tong, having connected to the elder’s phone four times already, was now feeling like he was being fried in a pan, “Did you find the source?”

The head of the technology team, Qiao Hai, replied, “Not yet.”

Second Master Tong kicked a chair over in frustration, “You incompetent fools, hurry up!”

The next second, every computer screen went black, followed by a rabbit in a pink pajama hopping out from the edge of the screen, bouncing around holding a carrot.

Qiao Hai had been in the internet world for over twenty years, known as the number one hacker.

At this moment, Mr. Hacker smashed his keyboard, “Damn it!”
