"Evidence?" Song Xin sipped her coffee casually at home, "I would like to see what evidence Hai Rui can produce."
She assumed that her plan was perfect. At least, for those outside the industry, she did not expect them to see any flaws.
Unfortunately, the people she was up against were Mo Ting and Tangning.
The author of 'The Tracker' felt a little guilty, so he called Song Xin for help. But, Song Xin told the man calmly, "Don't worry, Hai Rui won't be able to produce any evidence. As long as you stick to your guns, Hai Rui can't do anything to us."
"But...this matter involves my hands..."
"There are no buts."
Song Xin assumed that the other party didn't know she was the mastermind behind the entire incident. Otherwise, why were they so anxious? This was where Song Xin was smart; she knew how to stay out of the main focus of the battle. Even if the truth was to be exposed, she knew she'd walk away unscathed without anyone drawing any relation back to her.
Plus, she was confident that everything was just a part of Hai Rui's PR scheme. After all, didn't Hai Rui always handle matters in this way?
However, the author was a lot more anxious than Song Xin. He had bet his own two hands on this matter. If Hai Rui actually produced evidence, what was he to do?
The public paid close attention to the progression of the incident; they especially wanted to know if Hai Rui could produce evidence. Wasn't the contract for 'The Tracker' already conclusive evidence? Did they actually have something that was more conclusive?
What a joke!
It was impossible!
Everyone waited for the arrival of 7pm, especially the screenwriters and authors that teamed up to boycott 'The Lost Relative'. They were filled with righteous indignation and were ready to swallow Elder Wu alive. But, if Hai Rui actually produced evidence...
...what was to happen to their pride?
...
Time passed, one second at a time. It felt extremely slow, but the time everyone was waiting for eventually arrived.
During this period of time, no other news was more attractive than Hai Rui's announcement that they'd be presenting evidence.
"Stop going in circles Hai Rui! Hurry and show us what you've got!"
"Hai Rui, stop playing with our emotions. It's already one minute past 7pm."
"Where's the evidence? Was it all a lie?"
Not long after, Hai Rui's official website released a PR statement filled with their findings; it composed of 9 whole pages of solid evidence.
Within the PR statement, Hai Rui quoted all the sections within 'The Tracker' that were inconsistent and explained, "An author's writing style should remain the same. The terms, the phrases, the punctuations and tone used, should be consistent. But, please look at this 540,000 word novel. Within 'The Tracker', there exists a few different writing styles. Perhaps, the author is schizophrenic?"
"I'm sure fans of reading novels can immediately spot the differences. If the author isn't schizophrenic, how did he produce this result?"
At this point, Hai Rui used the remaining 8 pages to point out inconsistencies and other flaws within the novel.
Hai Rui was letting everyone look at the findings first, so they could interpret it in their own way. They wanted them to trust that Hai Rui were presenting them with real evidence and that they weren't just making random accusations.
Didn't they ask for evidence?
Hai Rui was giving it to them!
Because Hai Rui did not give a definitive answer, those that paid attention to the incident, quickly went online to look at the evidence.
