Super War God in the City

Chapter 176 Swords Drawn and Bows Bent

"Who dares to try, you schemed against Tian Yun right under everyone's nose, and now you even have the audacity to spout lies and twist the truth. Do you think Tian Yun is so easy to bully?

To actually tamper with the in-ear monitors, granny knows you have the guts to do it but not the guts to admit it, you spineless trash, let me tell you, you must apologize for what you said just now!" Meng Ying completely erupted, ascending the stage, and confronted Wang Jing without giving an inch.

This scene dumbfounded everyone below the stage; no one ever imagined such a bold and blood-pumping scene would unfold.

"Who's that beauty, so fierce, sexy and wild, I like her!" Suddenly someone's eyes lit up below the stage, unable to help but murmur.

"You don't know her? That's the manager of Tianyun PR Department, Meng Ying. It's said that all the executives of Tianyun are stunning beauties, each with their own unique charm, and the one you see is just one of them!" An enthusiastic guy immediately provided this explanation to those around him.

"Hehe, no wonder, it seems Tian Yun has an excess of yin and a shortage of yang, urgently in need of us lords to balance yin and yang!" Another person nearby gleamed in his eyes and snickered with an implicit meaning.

"Just now I already asked Xi Xue and Xi Yao, during their performance, there was serious interference with their ear monitors. It's clear someone did it on purpose, don't think I don't know, you're holding a grudge because of last time, and today you intended to take revenge!" Meng Ying pressed her advantage without yielding.

When she had just returned, she was hesitant, not knowing on whom she should vent her anger. Upon returning, she encountered Wang Jing slandering Tian Yun on stage, and without guessing, she knew he couldn't be separated from what had happened earlier; it was absolutely right to catch him and not let go.

Wang Jing's face turned ashen, and his eyes blazed with anger, he sneered, "Heh, so you are saying our organizers framed Tian Yun, is that it?

Alright, everything should be based on evidence. Come on, show the evidence. If there is evidence, I'll apologize without a word, but if there's no evidence, sorry, I'll sue you for defamation!"

Meng Ying glanced at Wang Jing with disdain, her heart already anticipating this response, "Would you leave evidence after doing such a thing? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Heh, so that means you have no evidence, damn it, you don't have evidence and yet you dare to make trouble here. If you're incompetent, just accept it, why pretend to be the big bad wolf?

I admit that you might have some skills in PR, and although you're good at lying down, it doesn't mean you've got real talent in the entertainment industry!

As the saying goes, to each their own craft, the mishap in Tian Yun's performance just now is the best proof. Are you dissatisfied with what I said?" Wang Jing's face was full of sarcasm.

"Hahaha..." The audience couldn't help but laugh at Wang Jing's words.

"Hehe, Director Wang's words are truly incisive, hitting the nail on the head. This Meng Ying, manager of the PR department, her reputation is not unfounded, with eighteen skills and proficient in the '72 Transformations', she definitely lives up to the name of top PR sister!" Zhao Yuan chuckled mockingly in the audience.

Her words instantly caused several gentlemen around her to look sidelong, and when they looked at Meng Ying on the stage again, their minds couldn't help but conjure up various suggestive scenes.

"Cough cough, miss, do you know Meng Ying? She can't be as bad as you say, right?" A thin man nearby couldn't resist posing the question pretentiously.

Several gentlemen around perked up their ears, their gazes focusing on Zhao Yuan, hoping to hear some more explosive news.

"Hmph, only one who has experienced it would understand what she's really like. Although I'm only casually acquainted with her, I have a nephew who was her ex-boyfriend. How could I not be aware?" Zhao Yuan snorted with laughter, then fell silent.

She loathed Meng Ying so much that she itched to retaliate, how could she miss the opportunity to trample her?

The several seemingly respectable gentlemen around her felt a rush of excitement upon hearing this, for Zhao Yuan's words conveyed a very important message: this kind of woman was easy to get!

Especially what Zhao Yuan mentioned about the '72 Transformations.' These veterans of the game had at most heard of the 'Dongguan Thirty-Six Styles', but had never heard of the so-called '72 Transformations.' How could they not be intrigued?

Little did Zhao Yuan know, her off-handed remarks made these gentlemen with their fine appearances have wild flights of fancy, enough to go make a science fiction movie.

"Pfft, truly good at flattering oneself. Clearly incompetent, yet accusing others of foul play—do you have no shame!" Dai Fu said disdainfully from below the stage.

"Who's to say otherwise, the more you try to explain, the darker it gets. Bringing shame on oneself, and even accusing Director Wang of meddling. I think Tian Yun is really beyond salvation, resorting to anything to save face, just utterly unreasonable!" Dai Qing echoed in agreement.

Their voices were not soft, and because they were not too far from the stage, many people around them heard their conversation clearly, and immediately, there was a wave of condemnation toward Li Mengying and Tian Yun from those nearby.

"This woman is really too much, how can she have such a thick skin? If it were me, I wouldn't have the face to falsely accuse the organizers and still look so unbothered!" someone muttered.

"Heh, you're wrong there. Could someone with thin skin manage to be such a social butterfly? Do you think lying down and getting things done is that easy? That's not something everyone can do!" said another person with a smirk that was not quite a smile.

"Haha, brother, you've got a point. Where's the face anymore? It's all skin now!" the previous speaker scornfully laughed with ill intent.

All of these people, without exception, were paid internet trolls that Wang Jing had planted in the crowd in advance to stir up trouble at the right moment. They hadn't expected they would actually be needed.

As the crowd was led down that path, upon further reflection, they found the rhetoric not entirely unreasonable. Although there were rumors of some animosity between Hua Yi and Tian Yun, they thought Hua Yi wouldn't stoop so low!

Hearing the jumble of scornful comments from the audience below, Li Mengying's grip on the microphone tightened until her veins bulged, and her expression was extremely ugly, clearly indicating that their opponents had come well-prepared to target Tian Yun.

Yun Fei took a deep breath, listening to the unkind whispers about Tian Yun around her. Her expression turned cold; it seemed that today Hua Yi was determined not to give Tian Yun any way to step down with grace.

She stood up and walked towards the stage with a chilly expression. Qian Dayong, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't restrain himself any longer. Wang Jing's behavior was too much; not slapping him a few times would not do justice to Ling Fan's trust.

Zhou Tianlu and Feng Qiang also stood up, as humiliating Li Mengying and Tian Yun was no different from humiliating them.

Yun Fei glanced at them secretly and shook her head slightly, signaling them not to make a move. She didn't care about this crappy Xinghua Banquet at all. Did they really think she couldn't live without this entertainment circle?

She didn't care whether she could hold her place in the industry, but she couldn't swallow this insult.

"Mr. Wang, people from Tian Yun are not someone you can humiliate at will. If you cannot apologize for your actions just now, you might as well stop the Xinghua Banquet here today!" Yun Fei said coldly.

Inside the private box, Tang Tiancheng frowned in displeasure, not expecting things to escalate to this point. The situation was not heated enough yet for an outburst. He ordered coldly, "Uncle Wang, you handle this. Now is not the right time to stir things up completely, is it?"

Wang Anxiang nodded. Going on the offensive in front of such a large audience demanded legitimate reasons and justification; making big moves now would not be appropriate and would not reflect well on Hua Yi's reputation. So he immediately agreed and left the private box.

"Miss Yun, I am responsible for the event this time, and I apologize to Tian Yun for Wang Jing's inappropriate comments!

Whatever misunderstanding there is, we can talk it over in private after the performance, and I will surely give you a satisfactory explanation. Standing here with drawn swords is not the way to solve problems, don't you think?" Wang Anxiang appeared on the stage and spoke courteously.

Yun Fei scanned the crowd and noticed that the commotion subsided significantly after this man's appearance. It seemed he was quite an influential figure.

That was just because she was not very familiar with the entertainment industry. Those senior figures in the industry sitting in the audience knew Wang Anxiang, the close associate of the Prince of Hua Yi, very well—none dared to disrespect him.

"Meng Ying, go backstage and prepare for the program with them. Let's end things on a good note and put on the best performance for the last act," Yun Fei instructed Li Mengying.

If it wasn't absolutely necessary, she wouldn't want to escalate the situation at an event like this. It seemed the other side had bought off people from the Martial Association. With Ling Fan not being at home, tearing their faces off would do Tian Yun no good.

Li Mengying hesitated for a moment. Although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do. She knew that continuing the standoff would be pointless, as they wouldn't gain any advantage. Although her earlier anger was vented, the same rage was now burning inside her.

She nodded silently and dejectedly led An Xixue and her sister backstage.

"I am very sorry for the earlier incident. Let's continue the program!" Wang Anxiang briefly addressed the audience before promptly leaving the stage. Discover more content at empire

Wang Jing also left the stage with a cold face, glaring at Tian Yun's people, fuming inside, "Damn it, later on, let's settle both new and old scores!"
