Chapter 66 Pure Love Fangirl (23)
Because Xia Mingwei presented such comprehensive evidence, she directly branded Li Ming's teammate as a "bully," leaving him no chance to defend himself.
In Xia Mingwei's words, they're trying to find loopholes to clear their names—no way!
In this situation, a barrage of criticism followed online.
"And you call yourself a teammate? How could you be so ruthless towards Candy, who's on the same team!"
“I felt a little uncomfortable seeing him act like a ‘caring older brother’ before, and now it seems there was a reason for it!”
"It's all fake. I'll never believe in the so-called brotherhood of boy bands again!"
"Sure enough, the more cheerful someone is to you on the surface, the more ruthless they are behind your back!"
"Who would have thought that you were the one pulling the strings behind all this?"
"Trash, shameless teammate, leave the team now!"
……
In fact, not only others, but even Li Ming himself did not expect that the person who spread rumors about his relationship and harmed him in this way was actually his kind teammate.
On several occasions, when he had arguments or conflicts with other teammates, he was the one who mediated the disputes. But he never expected that this kind-hearted person would do such a thing to him! He wanted to rush forward, grab him by the collar, and demand, "Why did you do this to yourself?"
But when he saw those resentful eyes, he understood. It turned out that some people just couldn't stand seeing others do better than them, that was all.
Now that things have come to this point, does he regret it?
No, he only blamed himself for not being careful enough, which gave Li Ming a chance to turn things around. If he had another chance, he would still target Li Ming again, but he would be much more careful and wouldn't let anyone obtain any evidence.
Seeing such an unrepentant person, Xia Mingwei lost even the last bit of sympathy. She decided to make this person taste the bitter fruit of his mistakes!
Back then, Li Ming still had Xia Mingwei protecting him and mediating between them, yet he still suffered such great malice from strangers. Now, let alone this hypocritical villain, he will encounter even more malice than Li Ming!
Just as Xia Mingwei had predicted, he was subjected to a month-long online harassment.
Verbal abuse, harassing phone calls, warnings to leave the group—he received it all. Xia Mingwei coldly watched him suffer, her heart unmoved. If people felt sorry for him, the instigator, who would feel sorry for Li Ming, who was isolated and helpless back then?
He couldn't take it anymore. Under pressure from the public and media, the company issued a statement announcing his official removal from Vanner.
Seeing this outcome, Xia Ming smiled silently. Back then, he had resorted to such underhanded tactics to force Li Ming to leave the group because he was wary of Li Ming's popularity and didn't want to be in the same team as him. Now, the tables had turned, and he himself was the one leaving. In a sense, it was as if his wish had been fulfilled.
After this incident, the unprecedented situation of internal discord and teammates framing him solidified Li Ming's "beautiful, strong, and tragic" persona. Many people felt sorry for his plight, which earned him a large number of new fans and propelled his popularity to new heights.
However, Li Ming has grown a lot since this incident, and his mindset has become more mature. He also has a new perspective on his fans.
He felt that the fan base was truly a group that could be loved to the point of life or hated to the point of death. If he made a single wrong move, he would face the prospect of these people turning against him and abandoning him.
In the past, he would have been terrified, constantly wary of whether his behavior conformed to the norms of fandom. But now, he's certain that someone will always stand behind him, silently supporting him. Thinking of this, he feels filled with energy, no longer afraid of the opinions of others, and simply wants to be his most authentic self.
Just as Li Ming was preparing to calm down and work hard to improve his skills, he received a notice from the company that activities would be suspended indefinitely.
Only then did he realize that after such a scandal, no matter what they did in the future, people would only refer to Vanner as the group with "internal discord." This label, once attached to them, would likely be impossible to remove.
It is no exaggeration to say that Li Ming's teammate ruined his own career and the entire team by his own efforts.
Now that the company has suspended the group's activities, it's essentially abandoning the group. So, what will become of him, a member of this group? At worst, will his stage career end here?
Just when he felt hopeless and extremely frustrated, someone brought him good news. The company notified him to terminate his contract without having to pay any penalty.
From Li Ming's contract termination to signing with a new company and making his comeback, everything was handled professionally, so the process was completed quickly. And all of this was arranged by Xia Mingwei.
The new company was also very supportive; shortly after signing Li Ming, they created a song specifically for him and arranged a solo performance for him. This time, without the burden of his teammates, he seemed like a pearl that had been wiped clean of all its dust, displaying his captivating brilliance.
On stage, he is full of energy, and even passersby can't help but exclaim, "It's as if Li Ming was born for the stage!"
Hearing such praise, Li Ming simply smiled and let it go. But only Li Ming himself knew how much effort he had put in to achieve all of this.
Through the screen in front of her, Xia Mingwei saw Li Ming shining brightly on the stage and smiled with satisfaction.
Then she heard Xiao Ba's familiar notification sound, "Ding! The Pure Love Fangirl mission has been completed. Would you like to disembark?"
"Get off!" As soon as Xia Mingwei finished speaking, she felt her body lighten and she was freed from the sick body.
She turned her head and saw the original owner lying on the bed. The original owner said in a weak voice, "Task taker, thank you for helping me protect the people I love!"
Hearing the original owner's words, Xia Mingwei finally felt relieved. It seemed that the client was quite satisfied with her arrangements.
She turned to Xiao Ba and asked, "Look at this mission, what did we get?"
"Affection alert!"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei pursed her lips, feeling that this cheat was not very useful.
Xiao Ba hurriedly said, "Host, although this thing isn't very useful, it's better than nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Mingwei felt that it made sense, and she became happy again.
"Xiao Ba, let's continue the mission!"
