He owed this to Su Xuanmo.
If Su Xuanmo hadn’t encouraged him to read more and study, he would have been helpless today under Chen Wei’s relentless attack, perhaps even resorting to violence on the spot.
Chen Wei, thinking himself clever, had said more than he should, inadvertently revealing flaws that Lin Fan seized upon to counterattack.
Sure enough, hearing Lin Fan’s words, Chen Wei was stunned.
As Chen Wei struggled to process, Lin Fan pressed his advantage.
“You claim Zhu Ruoxue is gold-digging and fickle, but what kind of person are you? Selfish, idle, always out playing, you even dared to hit your own parents? You ate my food, used my things—did I ever complain about you?”
“And today, I don’t know who’s egging you on to come here and make a scene. I guess you want to use this chance to become an influencer, right? Is this all part of a scripted play? Unfortunately, your script is too obvious—it won’t fool netizens. Do you really take them for fools?”
Lin Fan deftly shifted the conversation, bringing in the netizens, positioning himself as an observer rather than a participant, speaking with reason to alert the audience.
This way, even if Chen Wei released today’s video, Lin Fan could release his own footage from another angle, helping netizens see things more clearly.
At this moment, Chen Wei was flustered.
To be precise, he didn’t know how to refute Lin Fan’s words.
He wasn’t as skilled with words as his sister Chen Yanzi, and after being frightened by Lin Fan last time, he felt nervous facing him now.
After holding back for a while, he finally blurted out something that nearly made Lin Fan laugh out loud.
“You… you, just wait! Don’t get ahead of yourself—I have plenty of ways to ruin you!”
Realizing what he said, Chen Wei immediately shut his mouth.
“See? The mask has dropped. You’re already threatening to destroy me the moment you open your mouth? Ha…”
“Your acting is terrible. I can’t imagine what the person who put you up to this was thinking—sending you to deal with me. If it were your sister, maybe I’d have a real challenge!”
Lin Fan mocked him without mercy.
He wasn’t afraid of Chen Yanzi herself; after all, she had changed dramatically, and as long as he exposed her dealings with Su Daqiang, she too would be left speechless.
From start to finish, the siblings were never in the right.

“You… Lin Fan, just wait! Whatever happens today, I’ll expose all of it. Soon, you, her, and your company will be dragged through the mud online. Prepare for public condemnation and social death…”
Chen Wei’s face was flushed with anger, finally showing his fangs as he shouted fiercely.
“I’m filming you too, idiot!”
Lin Fan pointed at his phone, sneering coldly.
Chen Wei’s face turned ashen from the retort, but he dared not say more.
The more one talks, the more mistakes one makes. Now that he was at a disadvantage, further words would only earn him more scorn from netizens.
In the end, he grunted angrily and fled with his cronies in disgrace.
Watching Chen Wei scurry away like a mad dog with its tail between its legs, Lin Fan couldn’t help but scoff.
“This fool—does he really think he can compete with me with that limited intelligence? He’d better read more books!”
He put his phone away and turned to Zhu Ruoxue.
Zhu Ruoxue murmured, “What if he really exposes everything—what should we do? There’s clearly someone smart behind him, and if he releases the story first, it might be bad for us.”
A moment ago, she was nearly in tears from Chen Wei’s taunts.
Luckily, Lin Fan remained calm and handled things flexibly; otherwise, there would have been no way to cope.
“It’s fine—I have plenty of ways to deal with him! Now, let’s go see Miss Su. Only she can help me settle this.”
Lin Fan lowered his head, deep in thought.
Since things happened suddenly, he needed to act quickly for damage control.
This was his first time encountering such a situation; he had to consult Su Xuanmo.
He immediately called her, briefly explaining what had happened.
They agreed to meet at her house.
Su Xuanmo lived in the villa district by Cuihu Park, next to West Lake. They chose her home for privacy and to avoid being followed.
What Lin Fan hadn’t expected was that, upon arriving at Su Xuanmo’s villa, he saw Chen Wei had already posted the first video on TikGold.

Less than an hour later, Chen Wei swiftly released a video exposing him and Zhu Ruoxue.
However, it only showed the first few minutes where Chen Wei aggressively questioned them—the rest was obviously still being edited by his team, but it was clear more videos would soon follow.
“Should I immediately post the footage I recorded?”
Seated in the conference hall, Lin Fan didn’t even have time to drink water before asking directly.
“Don’t rush! If you post your video now, netizens might think you’re trying to whitewash yourself with PR. Let the dust settle a bit…”
Su Xuanmo pressed her forehead, answering unhurriedly.
“At a time like this, let the dust settle? Look, it’s been less than ten minutes, and there are already thousands of comments and over three hundred thousand views!”
Lin Fan was restless, pacing anxiously as he spoke.
“There’s no use panicking. The other side is clearly prepared! The sudden surge in views is obviously orchestrated—they have powerful backing and pushed the video onto the trending list immediately.”
Su Xuanmo shot him an exasperated glance.
Hearing this, Lin Fan immediately understood her meaning.
“You mean it could be Bai Jiahao or Su Qianlong behind the scenes?”
“Highly likely! According to you, Chen Wei doesn’t usually behave like he does in the videos, which only proves the mastermind is clever—they dug a pit long ago, just waiting for you to fall in, so you mustn’t act impulsively now.”
Su Xuanmo spoke slowly, signaling him to sit.
Lin Fan finally relaxed, taking a sip of water. Su Xuanmo continued, “Here’s what I think: First, find people who know Chen Wei, win them over, and have them expose his character—where he worked before, how he behaved, his attitude. As the story heats up, some people will want to ride the wave.”
“Second, Zhu Ruoxue’s family should make a joint statement, ideally with surveillance footage showing how Chen Wei harassed them. If neighbors can back it up, even better.”
“Third, didn’t you attend the charity auction gala with me? Fortunately, I have internal footage. When the incident peaks at the top of the trending list, I’ll release the internal video for PR, showing you as a compassionate and wealthy individual. Once your image is reversed, then you can release your own footage.”
“Fourth, after all the clarifying and whitewashing videos are out, you should post a video yourself, stating you’ll take the Chen siblings to court. Additionally, announce you’ll donate a hundred million to charity—this will stir netizens’ sympathy and curiosity, making them realize the siblings are deliberately trying to smear you!”
