If there were a major events timeline in the history of talent shows, then this incident of Jiang Ye facing difficulties and receiving support from all sides would definitely become a landmark event in the industry.

Because there were so many people who came forward to support her in a short period of time, and there was so much evidence presented, even the casual onlookers didn't know where to start.

Jiang Ye, however, was very calm, even an excellent example of someone calmly watching the drama unfold.

After seeing the series of notifications from the barrage, she immediately chose to watch the master tapes released by the program team.

After all, the video evidence provided by the program team was the most persuasive evidence.

The program team didn't release the evidence using their official account, but instead chose to release several original clips on the same forum where Zhen Jia posted her exposé, with a rough watermark used for post-production review in the upper right corner.

They didn't represent the official position when they clarified, but they used the same identity as the person who made the exposé, also calling themselves an ordinary program staff member who couldn't stand it anymore.

This created a strangely ironic effect.

The program team's clips weren't long, but they were all very crucial.

Jiang Ye opened the first one and found it was the process of choosing the C-position.

She had been worried that releasing too many clips might affect the audience's anticipation for future episodes, and that the program team might only simply release the spliced audio.

That would clarify that the audio was maliciously edited, but it wouldn't clarify her actions of voluntarily giving up the C-position and then changing it back.

Now that the program team had laid out the whole story, she was completely relieved.

The C-position selection was a very obvious three-against-one group.

Zhen Jia insisted on not battling, and used moral blackmail and victim tactics to force Jiang Ye to give up the C-position, her face was clearly shown in the video.

The barrage was clearly shocked, they were scrolling very fast.

Because Jiang Ye already knew what the video content would be, she was calm.

But when she saw a certain moment, her gaze paused slightly, falling on her orange hair clip.

She had lent this hair clip to Cheng Zhen before, and Cheng Zhen accidentally bent it, and it was shown in the dorm footage the day before yesterday.

It seemed that even if she hadn't waited for the live stream, her practice of deliberately wearing different small accessories every day would help her easily prove her timeline.

This so-called conspiracy theory of the program team reshooting was self-defeating.

Besides the C-position selection, the program team also released the footage of the C-position change and the stage discussion.

This evidence was too solid, all those with ulterior motives and those who wanted to add fuel to the fire were speechless.

Of course, there were still some who tried to continue to jump around.

【... Although, I still don't quite believe the program team, could it be that the program team deliberately maliciously edited this segment?】

The few people who held this view were naturally attacked by Jiang Ye's fans who were driven crazy tonight.

【Maliciously edited? What nonsense! Every word here was said by Zhen Jia herself!】

【Our Jiang Mei is too miserable, how dare Zhen Jia grab the C-position, can these groupies just get out of the show?】

【I'm almost crying from anger tonight, she suffered so much, she never played the victim or said a bad word about Zhen Jia, right? If the person who exposed her wasn't exposed, would she have hidden it for a lifetime? You people who are scolding her, do you have any conscience? This is disgusting, disgusting.】

•••

Jiang Ye calmly watched it, then went to watch the video posted by Mu Xingchi.

He always spoke directly, his fans always portrayed him as a cool and capable person, so it wasn't surprising that he would come forward.

His fans were already unhappy because he was involved in this dispute.

And the exposé on the forum directly stated that he was protecting the trainee, which made his fans even more angry.

Even if Mu Xingchi could tolerate this, his female fans couldn't.

So, Mu Xingchi's fans, in order to prove that their idol only decided the C-position based on ability and fulfilled his duties as a good mentor, they ended up praising Jiang Ye's skills to the heavens.

Jiang Ye looked at the numerous praises for her in Mu Xingchi's comment section: "..."

Although this video was indeed the effect she wanted to show, that is, Zhen Jia standing in the middle being beaten by her and Shen Zhiyi's skills, she didn't expect this scene to have such an absurdly comedic effect.

She didn't know if Mu Xingchi and the program team had discussed this beforehand.

If not, their cooperation was really beautiful.

The program team only released the original sources of the C-position selection, the C-position change, the stage discussion, and the edited audio, but Mu Xingchi directly showed the comparison of skills, clearing himself of his relationship with the trainee, and also hammering Zhen Jia for being unskilled and unworthy of being the C-position.

At this point, the matter was basically resolved.

Jiang Ye felt a huge weight lifted off her chest, after comforting her fans, she went back to the forum to look at the discussion.

【But doesn't anyone think that the things Jiang Ye said after getting the C-position back were also sarcastic? Isn't this clearly implying Zhen Jia? Didn't her persona collapse?】

【Where is the sarcasm? Are you speaking human words?】

【If the east doesn't work, the west will, you're just as stupid as that person.】

【Is this called a persona collapse? As a casual onlooker, I've become a fan of Jiang Ye, seeing her tear apart the white lotus was so satisfying.】

【No way, no way, no way, do the groupies still have fans?】

【Are you the runaway saint from Notre Dame Cathedral? Even after being bullied like that, she still gave her the part, our Jiang Ye is a good person, but that doesn't mean she's the reincarnation of the Virgin Mary, okay?】

【Anyway, seeing my daughter so badass makes me feel relieved.】

【Today, it's not Jiang Mei, it's Jiang Jie, kneel down to Jiang Jie, those sarcastic remarks she said were so cool.】

【As a free-riding noble onlooker, I've decided to vote for Jiang Ye every day until the finals, the entertainment industry's fans have suffered enough from the saintly persona, it's been a long time since I've seen such a cool girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.】

Jiang Ye read until the last line, took a deep breath.

She closed the webpage and went back to the live stream, saying, "It's good, it's faster than I thought."

"Otherwise, I really thought I would be staying up all night."

Jiang Ye thought for a moment, and actually laughed, "My sleeping posture isn't very good, I'll probably lose fans after you see it."

The barrage instantly burst into tears.

【Why are you still laughing, baby!!】

【You suffered so much, why didn't you say anything, why didn't you tell us?!】

【OMG, don't do this again, okay, we feel so sorry for you!】

Jiang Ye sighed softly, "What are you crying for, isn't it all solved?"

"And things like this aren't accidental, as long as I'm still in the entertainment industry, there will probably be many more."

"Today, they can spread rumors that I'm ostracizing my teammates, tomorrow they can spread rumors that I'm dating someone, the day after tomorrow they can spread all kinds of rumors about me."

"Some rumors can be clarified like this live stream, but some can't be quickly proven."

Jiang Ye looked at the barrage scrolling quickly, suddenly showing a very bright smile.

"So I want to tell you, please believe me, believe me like today, okay?"

"If I didn't do it, then I didn't do it, if I didn't say it, then I didn't say it."

"I'm not afraid of any rumors or doubts about me, I hope you don't have to be afraid either."

"Before the results come out, you don't even have to speak for me, because I don't want you to bear the title of being a brainless fan, I don't want you to be scolded by those who don't know the truth, that's not worth it."

"You just have to believe me."

"I will prove to you, everything I can prove to you."

Jiang Ye looked at the barrage saying they wanted to protect her, nodded, and said, "I know, I saw everything tonight."

"But I don't need you to protect me, as an idol, I'm a public figure, it's my job to protect you who like me."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Jiang Ye said word by word, very firmly, "I will prove to you in my own way that the person you like is worth liking."

These words were very weighty.

If ordinary idols give their fans a reassurance when clarifying rumors, then Jiang Ye directly fed her fans a whole bottle.

These words had a bit of a "torturing fans" meaning, but they were also her true feelings.

People often say that no one can withstand scrutiny, so don't deify idols.

But Jiang Ye looked back on her life, and she was really not afraid.

She had already overcome those dark times from the past, being able to get here in this life, she really didn't have anything to be afraid of.

She said this because she had the confidence to say this.

The talent show was already the most utopian existence.

Once she debuted and entered the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, there would definitely be many rumors about her.

So she took this opportunity to tell her fans frankly.

Believe in Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye is worth liking.

Jiang Ye is here, she's not afraid, and neither should you.

If the same thing happens again, all you need to do is stand with her, trust her, and wait for her.

The barrage cried even louder.

【Wuwuwu, OMG, I'll never climb out of this pit in this life!】

【What did I do to deserve such a good idol like Jiang Ye!】

【I'm completely stuck in this pit, help, we'll always be by your side, baby, don't be afraid, okay! We won't be afraid, and you don't have to be afraid anymore, you have us!】

【Someone said that there are no perfect people in the world, I want to say loudly! Jiang Ye! She is perfect!!】

•••

While Jiang Ye was comforting her fans, the forum was still bustling with activity.

Because although the program team released the original footage, they specifically explained one point.

The program team didn't find the original footage of Jiang Ye's "Just endure it," it was probably because the camera wasn't on at that time, so they didn't know where the spliced audio came from.

The forum started to boldly guess.

【The poster probably wasn't a staff member, right?】

【Of course, and how could a staff member be so free, what benefits would they get from spreading rumors about a top trainee?】

【The person who could record this kind of content, wouldn't it be a trainee from Jiang Ye's group?】

This guess was too exciting.

The forum's melon-eaters all took action.

It's indeed difficult to find the real identity of a poster on this forum.

But it's easy to find her past posts.

The melon-eating netizens quickly dug up all the posts that the so-called poster had ever posted.

Before posting the post about Jiang Ye, all the posts she had posted were turned upside down and made public.

—【Heard that the "Listen to the Night Rain" group switched C-positions?】

—【Everyone, please help Zhen Jia! Let's see the beauty's first performance fancam, it's really good.】

—【I'm recommending her, come and see our beautiful Zhen Jia!】

—【Three-second self-introduction, did anyone notice Zhen Jia? The sister seems so cute, she's pickable.】

Melon-eaters: "Whoa."

Wow, could this be any more obvious?
