The Fisherman Who Never Catches Fish-Chapter 30 - 29 Studio Releases Rumor-Debunking Announcement!

Fang Hao, as a once top streamer, already had considerable traffic.

And with the backing of capital stirring up the excitement, the topic's heat surged even higher.

The rank on Weibo's hot search list quickly rose.

This included the new drama he starred in, "Hidden World," whose search heat also increased significantly.

The team behind the drama saw this opportunity and naturally wouldn't waste it, seizing the chance to promote it.

With such a good promotional opportunity, they could double their results with half the effort and even cut down on promotion costs.

They directly bought their way up the hot search list, taking the heat to the next level.

Under several boosts, the topic's heat continued to rise, and the number of commenters also grew.

The discussions were mostly centered around Fang Hao, Yi Jianqiu, and the new drama "Hidden World."

...

"In the entertainment industry, how many are clean? There's no smoke without fire, and I think Yi Jianqiu definitely must have hired prostitutes."

A netizen claimed they believed the leaked information, feeling it could very well be true.

As for why the time mentioned in the leak was the day after tomorrow, that might have been written intentionally wrong to garner even more attention.

"Haha, finally someone spilled the beans, but in fact, I've known about this kind of thing for a long time; I just feared no one would believe me. I once encountered Yi Jianqiu at a hotel getting a room with a woman, and she was a so-called eighteenth-tier model."

"Is what the person above said true?"

"I've seen others reveal this before on some forum, but no one believed it, then later that revelation was deleted."

"I've heard that Yi Jianqiu is really into hiring prostitutes."

"Let the bullets fly for a while, I'll grab a chair and enjoy the show."

"Right now, all this is just speculation without any solid proof."

"Use your brains, who can't compose a little Weibo fiction?"

"Waiting for Yi Jianqiu to come out and debunk this."

"Our brother Jianqiu is the best, no matter how you slander him, he remains the best and most perfect in our hearts."

"So sour, you guys are just jealous."

"It's all that damn fishing streamer's fault; if not for his spreading rumors, none of this would've happened."

"Why is it always this fishing streamer, yesterday's hot search and today's too."

"Are they trying to promote him or what?"

"There's definitely a powerful team behind the scenes boosting him."

"Otherwise, how could he fish up a radio, and then that radio would broadcast a piece of future news... who would believe that? I think any slightly intelligent person wouldn't believe it, this is clearly just hype."

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

"Initially, I was pretty interested in watching this fishing streamer's broadcast... but now with all this hype, I don't have any more positive feelings."

"Yeah, it's one thing to hype himself up, but to spread rumors and slander our brother Jianqiu, it's just despicable!"

"To build up one and break down another, it's truly disgusting."

"There's also a nickname calling him Corpse-fishing streamer, just hearing that you know he's not a decent person."

"Too annoying, we can't let him off easily, come on, sisters, let's go to his broadcast and tear him apart."

"So hateful, let's take action together, sisters."

Yi Jianqiu's fanbase was also mobilized, instantly assembling a crowd.

These people gathered together and headed straight to Fang Hao's broadcast room.

Upon entering the broadcast room, they transformed into keyboard warriors and started furiously attacking.

On Weibo, Yi Jianqiu and his studio hadn't even come out to refute the rumors, and Fang Hao's broadcast room was already bombarded by the opposing fans.

Many people were cursing Fang Hao.

These were all basically Yi Jianqiu's fans.

They all believed Fang Hao was deliberately using Yi Jianqiu for his own hype.

Fishing up a radio—who believes that?

Is he going to fish up Ultraman next, a radio?

Even if he was truly unlucky one day and fished up a corpse.

But you can't be that unlucky every day.

This is definitely a case where the team behind the scenes saw the rising traffic and deliberately created hype.

Whatever about the radio, it must have been sneakily attached while fishing.

This is what many people believed.

They didn't think it was a coincidence, but rather something that was premeditated.

Actually, it's quite normal for them to think this way.

Any normal person, when encountering such a situation, would think like this.

It's a completely normal reaction.

Even Fang Hao himself was perplexed.

At this moment, a swarm of people bursting into his broadcast room went on a rampage, leaving Fang Hao helpless.

He knew he was an innocent victim in this, but he also had no way to explain.

Who would believe his explanations?

He himself hadn't even figured out the full situation with the radio.

So Fang Hao didn't bother with explanations and simply banned and muted the offenders.

First, he had to stabilize the situation.

Damn it, so frustrating!

...

The long-awaited statement finally came.

At this time, Yi Jianqiu's studio posted a statement on Weibo.

"First, Mr. Yi Jianqiu has always adhered to professional ethics, upheld moral standards, and positively assumed social responsibilities. The online comments about Mr. Yi Jianqiu are severely untrue, resulting from malicious fabrications by those with ulterior motives.

Second, we hereby warn related internet users, as well as some self-media figures, to immediately delete their false comments about Mr. Yi Jianqiu. We reserve the right to pursue legal responsibilities of the relevant individuals. We warn everyone that the internet is not a lawless place, do not spread unverified rumors."

As soon as the statement was released, a group of Yi Jianqiu's fans got excited.

"Finally, a clarifying statement was issued, I knew it couldn't be true."

"See, I knew our brother Jianqiu was doing the right thing, he definitely wouldn't do such things."

"Brother Jianqiu is the best."

"Roar, we must hold those unprincipled internet celebrities legally responsible."

"It's best to ban them! To avoid spreading bad influence."

The statement had come out, and Fang Hao was criticized again.

There were even some people on the internet calling for Fang Hao to be banned.

However, under this statement, there was also a portion of netizens who expressed doubt.

They felt the statement was somewhat evasive and vague, speaking in very official terms.

What exactly the message detailed in the statement was also unclear, making it seem very questionable.

"It's too vague."

"This statement doesn't seem very powerful, feels a bit lacking in confidence."

"If it really comes down to it, just put out a lawyer's letter; that'd be more persuasive."

"Haha, you bunch of trolls, always finding something to nitpick."

"When there was no statement, you all said wait for the statement. Now that the statement is out, you're not satisfied and say to release a lawyer's letter."

"Truly anything and everything can be criticized."

"Sure sure sure, we're just stating facts and suddenly we're considered trolls."

"If you think you're innocent, then clarify it clearly."

"Spreading rumors is easy, debunking them takes legwork."
