Chapter 1075 - 1074

"The accusations made by that woman against me are all true."

Hua Yiwu lowered his head and murmured.

"What?"

Mrs. Hua’s eyes widened in shock, her face showing disbelief. She couldn’t believe that these words came from Hua Yiwu himself. In her eyes, her son was outstanding. How could he have done such a thing?

Wei Jiansheng said with a gloomy face, "With your condition, those women line up for you; why would you need to do this?"

Hua Yiwu replied, "I was just seeking thrills. At first, I didn’t want this either, but my friends whom I knew liked to play this way. If I didn’t dare to play, I’d lose face. After I tried it once, it felt exciting, and I just..."

Wei Jiansheng said, "Aside from that Zhu woman, how many others?"

Hua Yiwu replied, "I can’t recall clearly, maybe around ten."

Around ten!

Mrs. Hua was aghast.

"How could you do this; do you know your identity? You are a big star; you have a promising future, you’re muddled!" Mrs. Hua beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Hua Yiwu replied, "I was wrong; I really realize I was wrong. Mr. Wei, you have to save me this time."

Wei Jiansheng said, "You’ve done such a thing; how am I supposed to save you? I could suppress your previous scandals, even if I knew you were a philanderer, but I never thought you had degenerated to this extent! What you did is beyond a mere fling, it’s illegal!"

Hua Yiwu quickly said, "No, Mr. Wei, I was very careful with my actions; they don’t have any evidence. I can guarantee there’s none! Because every time we gather, I confiscate their phones and only return them when they leave. And with so much time passed, it’s impossible for any evidence to exist, it’s all their verbal accusations!"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Tell me about your modus operandi."

Hua Yiwu said, "It was like this: each time, I had my assistant select candidates by seeing photos online; if I fancied someone, I had my assistant invite them out under the guise of work to attend our gatherings, get them drunk, and when they were unconscious, they stayed overnight..."

Wei Jiansheng said, "Didn’t those women report to the police when they woke up the next day?"

Hua Yiwu said, "Even if they reported, it’s hard to explain because I’d say I was drunk too; it was just a result of inebriated chaos. I always pacified their emotions, making them feel I was serious about them."

Wei Jiansheng said, "Isn’t this idle?"

Hua Yiwu said, "I know I was wrong; I was just tempted and thought it was thrilling. Every time I sorted one out, I felt proud and boasted to those friends, seeing their admiring looks made me incredibly satisfied."

Wei Jiansheng was speechless: "..."

Hua Yiwu said, "In summary, I’m sure they have no evidence to prove I assaulted them. Even if the police investigate, it’d at most be drunken misconduct..."

"Hmph!"

Wei Jiansheng snorted heavily, "Do you know your current identity? Do you know the image you’ve set for yourself? You are a top-agency star in the entertainment circle, with a large female fanbase. If they knew about your drunken misconduct, what would they think?"

Hua Yiwu said, "Yes, even if it’s drunken misconduct, the consequences are severe."

"You know nothing!" Wei Jiansheng said, "Every year new stars emerge in the entertainment world. These years quite some have become big hits. You are still a top-tier star, but you’re visibly on a downward trend. Do you realize this? Once this incident breaks out, you won’t be descending anymore but plunging to the bottom!"

In the past, Hua Yiwu had a few scandals explode, but his public relations team always managed to handle them and whitewash him into an innocent persona, reassuring his fans that he was still the pure boy-next-door and all rumors were fake.

If this time it was proven he indeed has had relations with the woman, his fan community would tremble substantially.

Hua Yiwu said, "So I don’t want the police involved. If it goes to litigation, and she sues me for assault, there’s no evidence, and I could win."

Wei Jiansheng said, "But your mother already reported it to the police, and they’re already involved."

Hua Yiwu was momentarily at a loss for words.

Mrs. Hua calmed down at this moment and asked, "Mr. Wei, what should we do now?"

Wei Jiansheng said, "Since it can be definite they have no evidence, even with police involvement, it could only prove you had relations with the woman; losses are inevitable. This time, you have to be resolute. Next, it’s our time to do public relations. You have evidence of her extortion; we’ll hit her hard, smear her to divert public attention. This tactic is our forte!"

Hua Yiwu said, "I leave everything up to Mr. Wei’s discretion."

Wei Jiansheng said, "After this incident, remain low-key for a while. Don’t ever do illegal things again!"

Hua Yiwu said, "I wouldn’t dare, Mr. Wei. Rest assured, I will definitely turn over a new leaf!"

Wei Jiansheng waved his hand, "You all go back, I’ll arrange the upcoming matters."

Hua Yiwu felt secretly pleased. With Wei Jiansheng saying this, the matter should be settled.

The mother and son were about to leave.

"Wait," Wei Jiansheng recalled something and asked, "I have one more question. Honestly, tell me, among those girls you mentioned, were any under eighteen?"

Hua Yiwu said, "No, how could I? I have principles!"

Seeing him so confident, Wei Jiansheng nodded, "That’s good."

The following day, in response to Ms. Zhu’s declaration last night, under Wei Jiansheng’s guidance, Hua Yiwu’s studio issued a statement on Weibo.

The response comprehensively denied Ms. Zhu’s accusations, claiming everything was fabricated by her, and there was no such thing as an alcohol-induced assault. On the other hand, it accused Ms. Zhu of extortion and posted evidence.

This response was firm in its tone, almost directly suggesting Hua Yiwu was the victim, continuing with their public relation’s signature tactics by smearing the woman to whitewash Hua Yiwu.

The statement quickly caused a sensation. Seeing Hua Yiwu’s side so assertive, could it be that Hua Yiwu was indeed innocent?

That Ms. Zhu really resorted to extortion, which inevitably raised doubts about her motives; was it all about money from the start!

As onlookers swayed back and forth, some sided with Hua Yiwu, some with Ms. Zhu, while others hit both parties equally, thinking neither was decent!

Hua Yiwu’s fans went out in droves to control the narrative, engaging in online toxicity against Ms. Zhu, fiercely attacking the extortion point.

A large group pursued Ms. Zhu, questioning her whether Hua Yiwu’s side was truthful, and if she extorted.

But when everyone anticipated Ms. Zhu’s response, she suddenly vanished without a trace.

Could it be she fled out of fear?
