I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 617 - 615: Roll Back to Your Hometown

"What's happened now?" Seeing Zhou Zong's panicked appearance, Hu Bofan's heart skipped a beat, and he thought that something truly serious must have occurred since even a few days ago, when he was caught on the spot by Zhang Menglong, Zhou Zong had never shown such an expression.

"Do you remember the girl from the bar last year?"

"You mean Yu Mengzhu?"

"Exactly! It's her!"

An image of a girl immediately surfaced in Hu Bofan's mind. She was the girl who auditioned for the female lead in his new song's music video last year, but in reality the choice for the female lead had been settled long before, and it was also a top female star.

However, nobody on the outside knew, and Hu Bofan, as usual, used such excuses to "select a concubine" among the commoners, and that girl named Yu Mengzhu was one of them.

At that time, Yu Mengzhu was in the prime of her youth, just turned 17, and because she liked Hu Bofan, she signed up for the selection. Her 168 cm height, long legs, and well-proportioned figure were truly rare among girls her age!

And Hu Bofan repeated his old trick; he took this girl's body. Afterwards, not only did he clear Yu Mengzhu's shopping cart, but he also promised to make her his girlfriend. The naïve and ignorant Yu Mengzhu foolishly believed him.

But as the California Cannon King, how could Hu Bofan possibly only satisfy himself with one girl? He continued to mess around outside and neglected Yu Mengzhu. Later on, Yu Mengzhu's family couldn't stand it and made a scene several times, but with strong public relations and money, he still managed to suppress the matter.

Only this time, Yu Mengzhu actually stood up and even produced many chat records as evidence!

If it were just ordinary chat records, a simple "They're fake" could easily dismiss them. In this day and age, who can't photoshop?

But in one chat record, Hu Bofan actually took a photo from his own first-person perspective, and that day he had just gone to record a show. The clothes, pants and shoes he wore on the program that day matched perfectly with the photo, and the dates also matched up perfectly!

This was seriously bad news, it was a completely solid piece of evidence!

Putting aside whether Hu Bofan had used any disgraceful methods or not, his affair with an underage girl was almost an indubitable fact!

Feeling the urgency, Hu Bofan quickly opened Weibo, and Zhang Menglong, who had always been at the top of the trending searches, had now been replaced by this Yu Mengzhu's solid evidence. The title even displayed a bright red "Explosive," and it had become a hot topic for national discussion!

"Damn it! What a scumbag, I can't believe I used to think he was incapable of doing such a thing."

"Fans who couldn't see through him, do you need more solid evidence? Is this hammer heavy enough for you? Keep defending your 'daddy' now!"

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I even doubted you. Looks like you should be the chief discipline inspector of the entertainment circle from now on."

"Damn, what did I even fan? A mushroom? A labor camp convict? My youth is totally wasted!"

...

Despite such revelations, there were still a massive number of fans speaking up for Hu Bofan. Some even found ways to get Yu Mengzhu's contact information, and she was dragged into a maelstrom of extreme cyberbullying.

"Although that young lady has been somewhat what you may call it, she did have the guts," Zhang Menglong could still somewhat admire Yu Mengzhu.

How many girls of that age are not smitten with someone? Being slept with by one's idol is definitely something to brag about, and Zhang Menglong could totally understand that.

But what Zhang Menglong admired was her courage to stand up and speak out because even if she brought down Hu Bofan this time, she would be labeled with unspeakable tags in the future, be viewed through tinted glasses, and her ordeal would not be forgotten as time passed.

No matter what her motives were, exposing a person like Hu Bofan early on would definitely prevent many girls from being harmed by such scum, and in a sense, that was certainly a good thing, wasn't it?

"Keep this topic trending, don't let her posts be washed away." Zhang Menglong immediately commanded the people at Weibo, then he had his intelligent program monitor all the data on the internet, blocking the information of those who cursed at Yu Mengzhu or attempted to perform cyberbullying against her!

"Give her a billion!" Zhang Menglong said to Hong Yi, "If her future is ruined, this money can at least make sure she's well-off for several generations!"

In Zhang Menglong's eyes, at this time, Yu Mengzhu was just a tool, but he still respected her as a person. Since she had chosen this path, Zhang Menglong felt it was necessary to do something to help her.

As the incident fermented, the relevant departments finally took action. Previously, due to insufficient evidence, they had been unable to deal with Cannon King, but now they had strong evidence, and any further sophistry was pointless.

A notice called "Urgent Risk Avoidance Notification Regarding Discredited Celebrities" was issued by the headquarters, which severely criticized Cannon King's behavior. They also reminded all brands and businesses to take effective measures promptly to avoid the negative impact caused by Cannon King's actions.

Moreover, they announced that they would investigate to the end the disgusting behavior of Cannon King towards underage girls!

The official statement confirmed the affair, and once the relevant departments spoke, any rebuttals were nonsensical.

Following the official response, the entire entertainment industry blacklisted Cannon King. All the music videos and records that were halfway through recording came to an abrupt end, and he was replaced on variety shows. In the entertainment industry, he had become a pariah.

Cannon King's public persona collapsed. Was this the same ambassador for charity, the same gentlemanly Cannon King? He turned out to be such an incredibly shameless and despicable person!

The fans' world collapsed!

Over fifty million fans plunged in number in a very short time, and those who didn't unfollow him did it only to curse him a couple more times.

Just as Zhang Menglong expected, the fans defended Cannon King passionately before, and now they were cussing him out in the same fervor.

"Trash, get out of Huaxia!"

"Leave, is a single word. I'll say it just once!"

"Why aren't you talking now, huh? Are you looking for a ghostwriter to draft a statement?"

"Cannon King, we believe in you, you're definitely not this kind of person (dog head)."

"I actually fantasized about being with you—your thing is so small, even a magnifying glass couldn't find it, right?"

"He should go after those girls who faint at the sight of needles, so he wouldn't need to use drugs!"

"A grave for our fallen friend above, my 40-meter long blade was too swift to retract, mind your words in your next life!"

"Hello, Cannon King, when you announce your exit from the entertainment circle, can you tell me which teammate has body odor?"

…

All the brands were ecstatic, especially those who bet that what Zhang Menglong said was true. They were not only getting their contractual penalties back, but they could also demand hefty compensation for brand damage from Cannon King's studio.

This was no longer just about how much money Cannon King would lose; it was about how much debt he would accumulate!

The endorsement of a single brand could be as little as ten or twenty million, and as much as eighty or ninety million. Behind these pricey contracts, if the brand image were tarnished, the costs would be terrifying indeed.

You talk about twenty or thirty million, he's talking about forty or fifty million, and when you add up the dozens of brands, the demanded compensation amounts approached a billion!

So far, Cannon King had only made two or three dozen billion at most. Some of this money was spent on mansions, some was invested, and he simply didn't have enough to cover the compensation!

After selling houses, companies, and shares, he was still buried in debt; and those creditors couldn't even find his hiding place.
