Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 1154 - 645: Layers of Mist (Part 2)

Zhou Yun couldn’t help but sigh; the thing she least wanted to see had still happened.

Ever since Jin Lin was thrust into the spotlight online, criticized by the masses, Zhou Yun had been worried that if this issue wasn’t quickly resolved, Huang Zicheng might also be dragged into the storm of public opinion.

"Have you talked with Zicheng?"

"I have," Zhou Lan replied. "He’s shown me his chat logs and call records with Jin Lin, and there are truly no issues; Zicheng and Jin Lin have no ambiguous relationship."

Zhou Yun was taken aback.

"What?"

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Lan didn’t understand why Zhou Yun was so surprised.

Zhou Yun hesitated for a moment before telling Zhou Lan what she had heard from Cheng Shenlv.

"Jin Lin said she only sent it to Huang Zicheng?" Zhou Lan frowned. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If she did send it, there would be a record in the chat logs, but I’ve looked through all of Huang Zicheng and Jin Lin’s chat content, and there are no photos."

Zhou Yun and Zhou Lan both fell silent.

"Go and communicate with Jin Lin’s side," Zhou Lan suggested. "That’s the only option now, to see which side is lying. Fortunately, it’s the information age; everything leaves a trace."

Zhou Yun responded with a hum.

A question lingered like a shadow in her mind.

Could it be that Huang Zicheng lied?

Zhou Yun stood in the cold wind, feeling her feet go numb from the cold.

After a while, Zheng Xiaojue, Liu Yun, and Cao Jun came out to give her sunglasses and a mask, then escorted her silently through the throngs of journalists into the hotel.

Journalists rushed to extend their microphones toward her, asking her to say something.

For the first time, Zhou Yun said nothing, giving no response whatsoever.

This left the media reporters a bit bewildered.

In their industry, they had their own assessments of various celebrities.

Zhou Yun’s reputation among them was exceptionally good. No matter what kind of news or scandal, Zhou Yun never left them empty-handed without saying a word; when inconvenient to answer, she would say something witty to divert the topic, and if it was hard to talk about, she’d chit-chat about other things, giving reporters something to report. Because of this connection, when Zhou Yun visited Director Kang Xin and asked them not to disturb Kang Xin’s rest, they obliged—because Zhou Yun had given them other content to publish.

Zhou Yun is an artist who is extremely considerate of journalists and paparazzi, always understanding and never cold-faced.

This was the first time.

Everyone was bewildered, unable to understand.

Yet, in this digital era, even no reaction is a kind of reaction.

Although the reporters were shocked, the video of Zhou Yun appearing and entering the hotel was still published on various platforms.

The headline was cleverly angled: Zhou Yun cold-faced refusal to comment on Jin Lin’s photo scandal.

This also attracted many people to click and watch, and after watching, they naturally cursed these media platforms for being clickbait.

The reporters originally thought that even if Zhou Yun didn’t comment, there were plenty of actors in the crew who would speak out. However, to their surprise, the other actors were just like Zhou Yun, not saying a word.

Despite the media’s focus, the filming of "Chen Yin" couldn’t be halted.

To prevent paparazzi from sneaking onto the set, the crew had to urgently hire two additional groups of bodyguards to secure the set.

Jin Lin’s condition was very poor.

Her agent requested a leave of absence for her from the crew.

The crew understood that any young woman experiencing something like this would be mentally devastated and need time to ease the intense trauma.

Especially since Jin Lin was still so young and hadn’t encountered much.

Huang Zicheng’s condition was equally bad.

His dark circles were severe, clearly indicating he hadn’t rested well the previous night.

Seeing his dark circles, Zhou Yun could only sigh helplessly.

Influenced by this incident, many people’s states were affected, hindering their performance and slowing the progress somewhat.

Kang Xin understood everyone’s situation and did not get angry.

It’s just that this sudden incident seems to delay the wrap-up.

Kang Xin tried to move Zhou Yun’s scenes forward to finish hers first.

Because Zhou Yun had other commitments following this, and delays on her part could affect her subsequent work.

That evening, Zhou Lan arranged to meet with Jin Lin’s agent.

Mainly to resolve this issue.

If Huang Zicheng truly did cause this, Zhou Lan would have to consider terminating the contract with him.
