Chi Zaozao had originally planned to release a statement about her single status.
However, before she could finalize the statement, her agent came over with an excited look and asked, “Zaozao, did your family take action?”
“No, my parents are eager for me to find a boyfriend and come back home,” Chi Zaozao replied.
“Then who is helping us?” Her agent frowned.
“What’s going on?” Chi Zaozao was puzzled.
“Take a look for yourself. Someone has shut down these marketing accounts that were smearing you and even provided evidence of them being paid to tarnish your reputation,” her agent handed her the phone.
Chi Zaozao immediately took the phone and found out what had happened.
For a moment, she couldn’t help but ask, “Who did this?”
“I don’t know, I thought you knew!” her agent said.
Having been dragged into this situation, these marketing accounts would be effectively silenced, even if they were released later.
At this point, those who had tried to harm Chi Zaozao had lost their pawns and failed to checkmate.
Chi Zaozao shook her head, but for some reason, Wei Zi Yue’s face suddenly appeared in her mind.
Thinking back to what he had said earlier, Chi Zaozao felt a bit hesitant.
However, after some contemplation, she picked up her phone and dialed Wei Zi Yue’s number.
Meanwhile, Wei Zi Yue was planning to go house hunting with the real estate agent.
When he saw Chi Zaozao calling, he swiped his phone to answer, “What’s up?”
“The thing with those marketing accounts online, was it you who did it?” Chi Zaozao asked, somewhat uncertain.
Wei Zi Yue nonchalantly admitted, “Yes.”
“Really? How did you manage it?” Chi Zaozao asked in amazement.
“Hmm, it doesn’t matter how I did it. Since it started because of me, I have to take responsibility. Is everything resolved now?” Wei Zi Yue said.
His gentlemanly demeanor wouldn’t allow him to let a girl face all those rumors and gossip alone.
“It’s all good now. Thanks for your help,” Chi Zaozao said.
“That’s good. Can I hang up now?” Wei Zi Yue asked.
“Wait! You haven’t told me how you got my private phone number,” Chi Zaozao asked.
She had actually forgotten about that earlier.
“I hacked your phone,” Wei Zi Yue said.
Normally, he wouldn’t do something like this, but the situation had been quite sudden, and he hadn’t thought too much about it at the time.
Chi Zaozao immediately understood.
“You’re a hacker?” No wonder when he saw the photo, he mentioned that if someone could unlock his phone, they were quite skilled.
It turned out he was a hacker.
Wei Zi Yue didn’t deny it. “Yes.”
“Then you need to be honest with me. When you hacked my phone, did you happen to see some of my private photos? Let me tell you, I haven’t edited those pictures, so you better not share them!” Chi Zaozao threatened.
After all, she was a childhood idol to her fans. If they saw those unflattering photos, it would ruin her image.
Wei Zi Yue’s face darkened upon hearing this. “Come on, I have professional ethics. I don’t engage in illegal activities or unethical behavior. You’re overthinking it!”
“Hmph, I hope you’re telling the truth. I’m hanging up now. Oh, by the way, let’s exchange WeChat,” Chi Zaozao said before ending the call.
With a curious expression, she went ahead and added Wei Zi Yue on WeChat.
A hacker, huh?
It sounded like quite a mysterious profession!
Coincidentally, the character she was going to portray in her next drama had a similar occupation, so it might be helpful to learn from him.
