While she was venting her dissatisfaction, Yuan Ranran received a call from the boss of the internet troll service. She was already very angry with him because she felt that he had not done a good job, thus her tone was naturally very bad, “What’s the matter? What do you want?”

“What’s the matter with you? I just finished what you asked me to do, and you’re going to turn your back on me now?” The man on the other side of the phone questioned.

He had done what she had told him to but had been rewarded with such a result. Now that he saw Yuan Ranran’s attitude towards him, the boss of the internet troll service felt that he was already nice enough to not seek revenge on her. Why should he be bullied by Yuan Ranran like this?

“You can’t even handle such a small matter. What else do you have to say?” Yuan Ranran said exasperatedly.

“But I’ve already done what you asked me to do. Now, I’m also troubled by this matter. Not only do I have to pay compensation, but I also have to be detained. What do you think I should do? Or should I just hand you over to the police?” Facing the man’s threat, a trace of annoyance flashed past in Yuan Ranran’s heart. Not only had this man failed to do his job well, but now he was even threatening her.

“Ha.” Yuan Ranran sneered, and she unconsciously raised her voice. “Fine, sure, you can tell the police that I’m behind all this, you don’t have any evidence about it anyway. Be careful that I don’t accuse you of slander.”

She didn’t expect the boss of the internet troll service to return her words to her in the same manner. “Who said I don’t have any evidence? Our phone calls are all recorded. I also have the records of you wanting me to hire the internet trolls. Give me ten million, or I’ll expose you.”

Hearing this, Yuan Ranran tightened her grip on the phone. She didn’t expect that this person would leave a backdoor open for himself. If other people knew that she was the one who instigated all this, her career would be ruined in the future. Therefore, she couldn’t let such a thing happen no matter what.

“You’re asking for too much. How can I have so much money?” Yuan Ranran screamed.

“Don’t think of lying to me. You’re such a big star. You can earn hundreds of thousands just by acting in a movie. How can you not have a mere 10 million?” The man said shamelessly. He had taken on so many risks just for helping her, he felt that it was only natural that Yuan Ranran should compensate him for his loss.

Yuan Ranran suppressed the anger in her heart and said in a low voice, “All my money has been used for investment, I can’t get that much out with such short notice. At least give me some time.”

“Sure, I will give you some time. In three days, if the 10 million is not transferred to my account, just wait to be exposed,” The man said with satisfaction and hung up the phone.

Hearing that the phone was hung up, Yuan Ranran threw the phone on the ground in a fit of rage. This time, she had thrown the helve after the hatchet. Not only did she succeed in tarnishing Shen Que’s reputation, but she was also being blackmailed by the boss of the internet troll service. In her mind, Yuan Ranran once again held Shen Que accountable for all her sufferings.

To prevent the matter from being exposed, Yuan Ranran could only prepare the money to shut the man’s mouth. However, he had asked for 10 million, thus she could only take out all of her savings. To her, this money was not a small sum. Unfortunately, that man did not give her the chance to bargain at all.

Regardless of all else, Yuan Ranran was determined to make Shen Que pay the price. How could that woman become the female lead and still be able to get that many fans?

Yuan Ranran began to check all the money she had on her hands. The boss of the internet troll service had only given her three days, but she had placed most of her money in financial management and the bank. It would take some time for her to be able to withdraw it.. She could only speed up her actions and solve the matter at hand now before she could continue to deal with Shen Que!
