43 The Truth Is Out
Chapter 43: The Truth Comes Out
That was because Kong Hao looked especially angry at this moment. Coupled with the persuasion of his other colleagues, the live-stream immediately exploded.
[Haha, Kong Hao is going to break off with him. I’ve finally lived long enough to see this day!]
[Kong Hao, scold him to death!]
!!
[Hurry up and let go of the person beside you. Just let Kong Hao beat Chen Che up!]
[That’s right, that’s right. Beat this trash to death!]
Just as the netizens were feeling indignant, Chen Che frowned and said, “Kong Hao, what’s wrong? Of course I treat you as a brother. Is there a need to ask?”
When Kong Hao heard that, he said unhappily, “Since you treat me as a brother, why did you do this? Do you know how upset I feel now?”
Hearing this, Chen Che was enlightened and understood what Kong Hao was referring to.
Chen Che sighed and smiled. “It’s fine. It’s not as serious as you think. Don’t worry about it.”
“That’s not serious? How can I not care?” As he spoke, Kong Hao forcefully shook off his colleague’s hand.
Without waiting for his colleagues to stop him, Kong Hao hurriedly said, “Do you also think that Chen Che didn’t donate?”
His colleagues were stunned by the question. Although they did not respond, their expressions had already given an answer.
The netizens who thought that Kong Hao was about to attack were also silent. They thought to themselves, could there be a reversal?
In this short period of time, the popularity of the live-stream increased again, exceeding a million.
The production team hurriedly entered maintenance, afraid that the live-stream would explode.
At the same time, Lin Xi, Han Jiarui, and the other contestants were watching closely.
A few groups of contestants who had tasted the sweetness were even more shameless. At this moment, they did not forget to lead the hate comments to increase their fans.
Knowing what Kong Hao was about to say, Chen Che hurriedly pulled him back. “Kong Hao, don’t worry about it for now. It won’t have a good effect even if you say it. It’ll be fine in a few days.”
“If you treat me as a brother, don’t stop me. Moreover, even if it’s useless, I have to say that I can’t watch my brother be slandered!” Kong Hao’s attitude was extremely firm.
Without caring if Chen Che was willing, Kong Hao faced the camera and said seriously, “Hello, netizens. I’m Kong Hao. You’ve misunderstood Chen Che. My mother was hospitalized. Not only did Chen Che donate, but he also donated $1,500!”
“I’m sure you all know how frugal he is. Therefore, the fact that he chose to fork out this sum of money is enough to show how well he treats his brothers!”
“The reason why he didn’t publicize it was because he was afraid that you would say that he was using this to create hype. The reason is that simple!”
“When I turned on my phone this morning, you guys actually scolded him for three days. As his good brother, do you know how guilty I feel?”
“Now, please stop all the scolding. He’s not a heartless piece of trash. Instead, he’s kind and righteous. He’s a brother worth befriending for the rest of his life!”
Only then did Chen Che understand that Kong Hao knew everything. No wonder he was so agitated.
He had originally wanted to announce it after some time, but he did not expect Kong Hao to stand up for him at this moment.
However, the outcome might not be positive if he said it at this time.
Just as Chen Che had thought, after a few seconds of silence, the live-stream erupted again. Nobody believed him at all.
[No, no, Kong Hao must have been threatened by Chen Che!]
[That’s right. How can this trash be willing to fork out 1,500 dollars?]
[That’s right. He didn’t pay in private that day. Kong Hao must have something on Chen Che, so he can only lie!]
The surrounding colleagues also had strange expressions. Clearly, they were thinking the same thing as the netizens.
Kong Hao looked at his colleagues and turned on his phone to see the reaction of the live-stream. He panicked. “Why don’t you believe me? What I said is true! Because the donation is in cash and there’s no evidence. Otherwise, I would definitely show you!”
Seeing this, Chen Che smiled and said, “Forget it. The heavens are watching. It’s enough to have a clear conscience. I’m already very touched that you’re in such a hurry to clarify for me.”
Without waiting for Kong Hao to respond, Supervisor Ma walked out of the door and shouted, “He doesn’t have evidence, but I do!”
Under the camera, Supervisor Ma quickly walked closer. “On the day of the donation, Chen Che borrowed $1,500 from me. He repeatedly reminded me not to make it public, afraid that some people would take the opportunity to slander his actions!”
“The reason why he’s willing to bear the infamy is because he thinks that this is much better than being said to be a publicity stunt and an actor!”
“I’ve been watching everyone scold him for the past three days. I actually feel especially uncomfortable!”
“That day, when he wanted to donate $1,500, I even advised him to donate less. After all, it wasn’t easy for him, but he told me that he had to help him when he was in trouble!”
“If you want to say that he’s impersonal, I want to ask what it means to be impersonal!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Hao could no longer hold it in. He hugged Chen Che and cried. “Good brother! You’re my brother for life!”
Is $1,500 a lot?
Actually, it was really not much.
However, Kong Hao knew very well how important this sum of money was to Chen Che. This was definitely the maximum Chen Che could afford!
It was enough for him to have such a good brother in his life!
Knowing that words were useless, Supervisor Horse showed the salary slip to the camera again. “This is Chen Che’s salary this month. Today is the day of pay. I’ve already deducted $1,500 from it. The record is clearly visible!”
“If you still don’t believe me, then I have nothing to say!”
The surrounding colleagues were the first to come to their senses and could not help but applaud.
“Alright! I knew it. Little Chen has always been upright. How can he not donate!”
“That’s right, that’s right. I’m touched!”
“Fortunately, I didn’t spout nonsense like the netizens these few days. Otherwise, this would be a huge joke!”
He watched as Kong Hao hugged Chen Che and cried. Then, he looked at the salary slip. $1,500 had really been deducted, and there was even a note saying that it was for repayment.
As the saying went, the eyes of the crowd were bright. At this moment, they all knew that they had misunderstood. Thinking back to how they had almost scolded Chen Che to death in the past three days, they suddenly felt very guilty.
[Chen Che, I’m sorry. I was irrational! Chen Che is a good person!]
Soon, someone apologized in the live-stream. With someone taking the lead, a chain reaction immediately happened.
In the next second, an overwhelming barrage of comments appeared in the live-stream.
[Chen Che, I’m sorry! Chen Che is a good person!]
[It’s time to pay back what we owe Team 7!]
[Fortunately, I haven’t voted for the past three days. Now, I’m giving them all to Team 7. Chen Che deserves this!]
Riding the current tidal wave to popularity, the data of Team 7’s plummet rose rapidly. In less than a minute, they had returned to second place. They were only a few thousand votes away from Luo Yuelin’s group.
Not only that, the number of true fans in this wave was incomparably huge!
Seeing that the situation had turned around, the anti-fans that had been energetic for the past three days hurriedly hid and did not dare to come out to attract trouble.
They believed that if they said anything unpleasant, they would definitely die on the spot!
