This video instantly pushed the heat of the matter to its highest point.

Weibo crashed.

A hot topic with public engagement was already enough to cause a stir; a celebrity being attacked by a fan also garnered significant attention; and the appearance of movie star Ding Ruifan created a sensation.

"So that’s his kid."

"Oh my god, it’s really Sheng Tang! I knew it was her, I could tell!"

Over on Ding Ruifan’s side, they took the opportunity to use ghostwriters or veteran fans to recount how Sheng Tang and Ding Ruifan got to know each other.

"When they were filming ’Invincible Life’, Mrs. Ding brought her child to visit the set. I saw her and Sheng Tang chatting happily, very familiar with each other."

"Sheng Tang is Mrs. Ding’s friend. She was planning to join a production by Mrs. Ding, and after Mrs. Ding retreated to the background, she introduced Sheng Tang to Ding Ruifan."

"Sheng Tang has a very good relationship with the Ding family; she often visited them."

"No wonder Ding Ruifan took such good care of her. It turns out it was at Mrs. Ding’s request."

Many fans who saw Ding Ruifan strongly promoting Sheng Tang during the film’s promotion now finally understood.

So that’s how it is.

Sheng Tang had saved Ding Ruifan’s two children. No wonder Ding Ruifan took such good care of her.

At 11:09 PM, Sheng Tang reposted Ding Ruifan’s Weibo: "Don’t create panic, let the past be the past, the perpetrator has been caught."

This was her first Weibo post since Feng Yanqiu falsely accused her last time.

The comments below quickly exploded.

"Sis, you’re so beautiful and skilled!"

"Where did you learn kung fu? How many years have you trained?"

"What other movies have you acted in? I definitely want to watch ’Invincible Life’ to support you at the box office."

Sheng Tang’s fanbase also grew rapidly.

This event fermented for several days.

By July 10th, Ping Mo also spoke up.

Ping Mo’s studio first condemned the irrational behavior of the male fan, which almost caused physical harm to Ping Mo, and reserved the right to pursue psychological damage. Secondly, they thanked Sheng Tang for standing up for Ping Mo.

Ping Mo herself also reposted the studio’s Weibo: "I was in a complete panic at that time. Sheng Tang was very brave, thank you, my dearest little sister!"

She only spoke up until today.

To be honest, Ping Mo was initially frightened, and later she realized that despite the huge scare and danger she faced, it was Sheng Tang who took the spotlight, which made her a bit unhappy.

Stars are willing to do anything to grab a headline.

Although Ping Mo wasn’t injured, she was still shocked. Giving her a bit of attention as consolation shouldn’t be an issue, right?

Unexpectedly, it became Sheng Tang’s credit, and she ended up doing a favor for Sheng Tang.

She was indignant.

Her company was also racking their brains on how to respond.

But no one expected what happened next, and it completely took Ping Mo’s side by surprise.

A video suddenly popped up, and Ding Ruifan came forward to explain, shifting the center of public opinion entirely onto Sheng Tang. Ping Mo didn’t even get a fragment of the attention.

She was utterly furious.

These days, the matter kept fermenting.

Ninety percent of the voices were praising Sheng Tang.

Netizens realized that she was the lead in ’The Ascending Path’ where she played two characters with three different personalities, all distinct from each other, and lauded her acting skills.

"She’s so beautiful!"

That’s what many people were saying.

Netizens judge people by their looks, and no one can escape that. Sheng Tang possessed both acting skills and martial prowess and was incredibly beautiful. In just a few days, her Weibo account gained over three million followers.

This level of buzz was comparable to a minor hit TV series or a successful movie.

The publicity costs were incredibly low.

Ping Mo, however, couldn’t stay silent any longer.

Because many netizens, even Ping Mo’s own fans, came over to ask her: "Are you good friends with Sheng Tang? She risked her safety to help you; why aren’t you saying anything?"

Most of the questions were like this.

Ping Mo had no choice. Her team was frantically trying to figure out how to snag some attention back from Sheng Tang.

But after two days of deliberation, they found that nothing they said worked. Everyone’s curiosity was focused solely on Sheng Tang. Even those who cared about Ping Mo only asked her why Sheng Tang was so kind-hearted to save her.

And why Ping Mo didn’t express any gratitude to Sheng Tang.

Ping Mo’s team had no choice but to speak up.

Sheng Tang also reposted this Weibo.

The biggest beneficiaries of this incident, apart from Sheng Tang, were the crew of ’Invincible Life’.

The movie was released at midnight on the 12th.

Considering the hype around the lead actors, the theaters allocated 43% of the shows on the first day, taking up half of the screenings for the summer season.

Several big productions were released over the summer, and if it were only based on the star power of Ding Ruifan and Chen Yanbang, getting 30% of the screenings would already be considered good.

The rest was all thanks to Sheng Tang’s drawing power.
