658: 647 658: 647 Indeed, just as Shen Yan had anticipated, the commotion only made the “Superwoman” program more popular.
After achieving the desired effect, he could have his plants withdraw and let the unsuspecting masses continue to hype it up on their own.
By now, it was already past eleven at night.
When the final top 10 contestants were decided, today’s competition would officially conclude, and then it would be the final showdown tomorrow.
At this moment, Sunan Province TV Station’s star host, Lin Yu, took an envelope and walked onto the stage.
Tonight, Lin Yu was dressed in a floor-length gown that made her shine brilliantly.
Song Yun took a special look at Lin Yu’s feet, but unfortunately, they were covered by the long dress, and he couldn’t see anything.
Song Yun was satisfied with Lin Yu’s performance tonight.
She had subtly helped Xiao Hua on stage or mentioned Xiao Hua’s name—all of which she had done very well.
Such a clever and ambitious woman, Song Yun felt that he really should help her.
Perhaps after Lin Yu had grown and strengthened her presence, she could be the voice for the Shura Alliance in the future?
It seemed that he really didn’t have anyone trustworthy in the media sector!
As Song Yun was thinking this, the competition results were announced, but the outcome immediately caused an uproar among the audience below.
Xiao Hua had been eliminated???
“What’s going on?” The first to react was Shen Yan, who shot up from his seat the moment he heard the results.
His face almost darkened to black.
“Shen Yan, it seems not everyone is willing to give you face,” Song Yun said quite relaxedly.
After all, he assured himself it couldn’t have been Shen Yan who had Xiao Hua eliminated.
Since it wasn’t Shen Yan, then it naturally had to be someone else, and Song Yun didn’t have to think too hard to figure out who it was.
Shen Yan’s older brother, Shen Bocheng.
As for why Shen Bocheng did this, Song Yun didn’t know and wasn’t interested.
He just watched Shen Yan, wanting to see what he would do.
At the very moment the results were announced, Shen Yan picked up the phone and called the backstage score tallying team.
The news he received was that his own elder brother had directly interfered with the final results of the competition, eliminating Xiao Hua.
Why Xiao Hua was eliminated was something Shen Yan couldn’t understand.
He just couldn’t figure out why his brother would have people eliminate Xiao Hua, especially at this critical stage of the top 30 becoming the top 10.
If it was to eliminate Xiao Hua during the top 10, Shen Yan could still understand.
If it was only about popularity, Xiao Hua was almost guaranteed the top spot.
Maybe his brother had some unavoidable commitments and had to sacrifice Xiao Hua.
But now, stepping into the top 10, everything was still undecided.
To eliminate Xiao Hua so early, what was the reason?
Just as Shen Yan was about to call his brother to question him, the mood of the crowd at the venue became uncontrollable.
This time, instigated by some malicious individuals, the crowd’s agitations grew even more intense.
Seeing the chorus of boos and noise erupting from the crowd, Song Yun’s eyes narrowed, and thinking about how Shen Bocheng benefited from Xiao Hua’s elimination, he instantly knew, could it be that Shen Yan’s older brother didn’t want to make things easy for him?
By utilizing Xiao Hua’s elimination to incite dissatisfaction among the audience, and then arranging for a few people to provoke, the order at the venue would easily descend into chaos, potentially causing an uncontrollable incident.
Following that, arranging some individuals to take advantage of the chaos and vandalize nearby shops would turn it into a full-blown social incident!
In the mainland, control over social incidents is very strict.
If you cause a social incident, what awaits you is severe punishment.
Let alone talk of democracy—even in Western countries, that’s all just a ruse.
Although with Shen Yan’s status, he likely wouldn’t be excessively blamed for causing a social incident this time, his standing within the family would plummet because of this incident, and the possibility of losing his heir status was not out of the question!
Shen Bocheng’s malicious intentions were blatantly obvious!
And clearly, a perturbed Shen Yan seemed to grasp the situation but dared not confirm it.
If it meant going to war over this, his hand was too weak, and Shen Bocheng would trample him thoroughly.
Thus, he would rather pretend to be ignorant of everything.
Right then, the Shura Alliance members played their deterring role very well in the southern part of the venue.
Although the commotion had started initially, as the Shura Alliance members showed their terrifying fangs, they quickly suppressed those harboring ill intent.
In less than a minute, the south side had nearly no disturbances, just some noise.
Meanwhile, in the north, the area had a concentration of security personnel, with most city management officers deployed there.
However, due to the insinuations from certain squad leaders earlier.
They didn’t dare to forcefully suppress the instigators and within a minute, the crowd in the north became furiously agitated!
“Scandal!
Crappy show!
Not watching anymore!” someone shouted.
“Why is Xiao Hua always targeted?
Who organized this trash program?!” another yelled.
“Stop shouting, what shouting?
Can you determine if there’s a scandal?” A security staff couldn’t bear it and reprimanded, but as soon as he spoke, he successfully diverted the crowd’s attention onto himself.
“What’s with the arrogance?
An accomplice!” someone scolded.
“Exactly, it’s because of scum like you that things have become so deformed!” another exclaimed.
“Forward, take down these guardians of the scandal!” A thin man gestured with his hand, and instantly, a chorus of supportive shouts followed, and then, Shen Yan’s worst-case scenario unfolded.
Someone made a move!
The security who couldn’t help speaking out was quickly brought down by the crowd, and his baton and other equipment were snatched away in an instant.
Then, the wave of people began surging towards the stage!
“Please, everyone, calm down, calm down!!” Lin Yu on stage could clearly see the crowd from the north charging towards her.
In a panic, she tried to stop them, but the audience, already whipped into a frenzy, called out their intent to expose the scandal and protect Xiao Hua, paying no heed to her.
In a matter of seconds, a swarm of people had reached the edge of the stage.
“Damn, what’s happening!” Shen Yan, seeing the impassioned audience less than twenty meters from him, was genuinely startled.
If such a large group stormed at him, even if he were to put his underwear on the outside, he’d still get beaten beyond recognition.
At that moment, Song Yun stood up.
“Director Li, take your people to the north.
Anyone shouting the loudest, grab them.
Wang Hu, bring half of our brothers to help in the north,” Song Yun first called Director Li, then gave instructions to Wang Hu.
Soon, Lin Yu could see from the stage a large number of people heading towards the already stirred-up crowd in the north.
