Xie Yang fell asleep until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. After waking up, he didn’t rush to contact Hu Biao. He first found a set of pyjamas and took a comfortable bath in the bathroom. Then he went downstairs to the kitchen and turned on his mobile phone.

After he turned on his phone, Hu Biao’s call immediately came in. It was unknown what type of psychological torment he had experienced but Hu Biao’s tone was a bit erratic. “My call really got through? Or am I hallucinating?” 

“It isn’t an illusion. Wait a moment.” Xie Yang covered the receiver, asked for noodles from the housekeeper who was preparing the ingredients for a meal in the kitchen and then removed his hand. “Okay, tell me what is going on.”

Hu Biao instantly cheered up and spoke in one breath. “Public opinion has been fermenting for nearly a day. Now there are a lot of discussions about you on Weibo. In short, you should contact your father and ask him not to talk. Some media outlets want to interview your father to ask about selling you. Mo Bin must’ve hired a lot of water armies. There are all types of gossip flying around on Weibo. The situation is bad for you! And—”

“Stop.” Xie Yang interrupted Hu Biao’s incoherent long speech and sat down at the dining table. He asked, “Did you do anything out of a sense of urgency while I was sleeping?”

Hu Biao really lost his temper. He felt suffocated as he replied, “No! I even asked Tong Jian and Ke Lan to turn off their phones. Xie Yang, what’s your plan? Your  Weibo is being influenced by Mo Bin and now Mo Bin’s fans are all scolding you!” 

“There is indeed a plan. Call Huang Mo and ask him if the recording of our meeting on that day can be made public. If he gives permission, I will directly release it on Weibo.”

Hu Biao couldn’t believe it. “Wait, recording. Did you record the meeting that day?”

“I recorded it. Mo Bin is too villainous so I always have to keep something up my sleeve.”

After a long silence, Hu Biao ‘s excited voice was heard. “You should’ve told me earlier that you were recording! Mo Bin recorded you and you also recorded him. Sure enough, heaven’s law means there is appropriate retribution. I will contact Huang Mo immediately. We have to release this recording!”

Xie Yang hung up the phone and raised his eyebrows.

Wait, what did Hu Biao just say? ‘Mo Bin recorded you and you also recorded him?’

Mo Bin recorded it too? What did he record?

The housekeeper brought out the noodles. Xie Yang raised his gaze, put down the mobile phone to thank him, temporarily suppressed his doubts and carefully ate the noodles. Then he picked up his phone again, registered a Weibo side account and clicked onto the hot topic list. 

As expected, Mo Bin’s morning announcement really went on the hot list. Coincidentally, the two posts below the announcement happened to be the one he sent before he was sleeping and the one about how he was sold to an old man. The three of them were arranged in order and was convenient for those eating melons.

Xie Yang first clicked on Mo Bin’s announcement and quickly scanned the comments below it.

It had to be said that Mo Bin was good at blurring the focus and shifting the blame. The new announcement was as Hu Biao said on the phone. The facts were distorted and he lied about the troubles with Ke Lan, Tong Jian and even Wenyi. The root cause was actually the purchase of new music. He said that because he didn’t agree to buy music from outside, the new IUD album was delayed.
