"So, you want me to convince the public?" Tangning asked seriously as she looked at Gu Heng. "Gu Heng, I remember I warned you in the past...and I also gave you a chance."
"I know you've always been annoyed that I'm the female lead, while you're merely a supporting character. I also know that you think I secured my role because of Mo Ting so you've thought about making me leave the cast. Am I right?"
"You're making false accusations!" Gu Heng refuted, "To make yourself sound innocent, you've been slandering Bai Qiusheng and I. How can you live with yourself?"
"Slandering?" Tangning repeated this particular word as she lifted an eyebrow, "Are you lying to yourself when you say this?"
"Tangning, stop acting all high and mighty. If you are that great, you should show us some evidence," Bai Qiusheng pointed to Tangning with an anxious look in his eyes, "If you have no evidence, you should stop talking nonsense and shocking everyone for no reason."
"Evidence? Are you referring to this?" Tangning pulled out a photo from her bag of the couple intimately hugging and kissing. However...she didn't only have one. One after another, Tangning pulled out photos of the couple. The photos were taken from all different angles and they were wearing different clothes each time. In fact, they hadn't only met once or twice. It was clear to see that they had been together for at least a year, because all four seasons were represented clearly in the photos.
Bai Qiusheng's face turned pale...
"What? You don't recognize the people in the photos?" Tangning showed the photos to the reporters. "Is this the innocence you all speak of? Please don't offend the word 'acquaintances'."
As soon as the reporters realized there was explosive news to report on, they excitedly passed the photos around. Even though a few were a bit blurry, there were plenty that were clear. It was impossible for Bai Qiusheng to deny.
"Perhaps, you think these photos were Photoshopped? Are you planning to tell the reporters that I created these photos? That's fine, I still have other evidence..." Tangning then pulled out a record of their hotel stays, "Let's see how you explain this."
"Oh God, they've been secretly dating for at least a good few years."
"They must be really good at keeping secrets to have not been discovered!"
"Does this mean, Bai Qiusheng and Gu Heng are indeed a couple and everything Tangning has said is the truth?"
The reporters were going crazy; the news they had received was massive! Initially, everyone was already certain that Tangning had hurt someone. Yet, she somehow managed to turn the entire story around in such a thrilling and stimulating way.
Eventually, the photos and hotel records ended up in Director Wei's hands. Director Wei handed them to Gu Heng and asked, "Do you want to have a look?"
Gu Heng's face was white as a sheet of paper, but she still received the evidence from Wei An's hands. By this time, the tips of her fingers were also pale as she trembled.
All this evidence was impossible for her and Bai Qiusheng to deny.
Bai Qiusheng looked at Gu Heng and finally calmed himself down, "Even if Gu Heng and I are in a relationship, it doesn't mean that you didn't pay someone to attack me."
"So, are you admitting that you are in a relationship with Gu Heng?" Tangning looked at Bai Qiusheng and lifted an eyebrow provokingly. He nodded quietly. "So, that's a yes?"
"Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, I'm sure everyone can imagine the situation I am in. Especially since Gu Heng does not believe that I deserve the main role."
"This is an action film. Dangerous scenes make up at least 60% of the content and I have scenes with both of them. So, if they were to plot against me and cause an accident. Who would be the final benefactor?"
"Do I need to spell it out? Of course, it's Gu Heng."
