I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 614 - 612: Sue with Any of the 127 Law Firms at Your Disposal
"You just won't quit until you hit rock bottom!"
Zhang Menglong looked at these articles and found the wording to be ridiculously ironic.
After two days of company and conditioning, Chen Bingning's condition had greatly improved, and Zhang Menglong's timely appearance had prevented a tragedy. At least she wasn't too deeply hurt.
The auditions had actually ended at 5:30, and by the time Zhang Menglong and his crew arrived, it had been over for more than an hour.
He also found it outrageous. A lot could happen in an hour. Could Hu Bufan really be as bad as Wang Ling said?
Could it be that he's incompetent? Didn't he spend that hour taking drugs?
Zhang Menglong tossed these messy speculations aside. Now was not the time to fuss over these "details". Chatting or not, somebody had died everyday!
"@Hu Bufan, I've already given you the chance, but since you didn't cherish it, I'll have to do it my way!"
Zhang Menglong directly posted a status on Weibo and tagged Hu Bufan's official Weibo.
With tens of millions of followers, Zhang Menglong was constantly being checked on Weibo, especially since he liked to post about giving away houses and cars when he had nothing better to do, which to many was a shortcut to riches.
Within a few short minutes, the message began to ferment.
Hu Bufan's behavior over the past few days had earned him quite a following, and he was at the peak of his popularity. And now, Zhang Menglong was picking a fight with him?
"What opportunity? Is there more juicy gossip?"
"What's going on? Is Boss Zhang going up against Electric Eel? Thrilling!"
"Protect the best, Hu Bufan!"
"Boss Zhang, I have no objections to who you confront. But if you come after my husband, I'm turning against you!"
"Are you jealous, huh? Can't stand seeing others succeed? Are you tired of stirring trouble everywhere?"
...
Without any news having come out yet, many of Hu Bufan's fans were already anxious. In their hearts, their idol was a god, inviolable and sacred, and for Zhang Menglong to trouble their idol was to trouble them.
"I personally witnessed Mr. Hu Bufan using drugs with the intention of taking advantage of a girl three days ago. I hope Mr. Hu can promptly admit his mistakes and take the initiative to turn himself in to the authorities and announce his permanent exit from the entertainment industry. We don't need such a corrupt beast in show business!"
Zhang Menglong didn't hold back at all, exposing everything that had happened that day and stating his demands.
This left the onlookers flabbergasted.
This was no minor scandal. With fifty million fans, the impact was terrifying. If it got confirmed, never mind how many people would have their "houses" collapse, it would definitely set off a horrific storm of public opinion.
Having done this, there was basically no chance of turning things around.
"Boss Zhang, you can't just say anything recklessly. We need evidence to make accusations!"
"Woah, such a big scoop! Does it call for a PowerPoint?"
"Doesn't this require a Word document? But is Word big enough?"
"Is it because Wang Xingren is holding a concert soon?"
"Damn, it's true, there's a Wang Xingren concert in a week. Good lord, to think such an outrageous persona still stands unshaken!"
"I always thought California Cannon King was joking around. Who would've thought it was true? I absolutely believe what Boss Zhang says!"
"Impossible, right? Wasn't he the gentleman walking the red carpet a few days ago? When that actress accidentally fell, he helped her up just with his arm. How could such a person do such things?"
"Zhang Menglong, do you have to bite everyone you see? Don't you find such talk disgusting?"
"So what if you're rich? Can you go about recklessly slandering others because of your wealth?"
"@Hu Bufan Studio, sue him right away!"
"Zhang Menglong apologize!"
Only minutes had passed, and tens of thousands of comments had surged forth like a tide. If Zhang Menglong hadn't upgraded the Weibo server, this explosive topic might have crashed the server by now.
The onlookers went crazy with gossip, while the fans furiously denounced Zhang Menglong, demanding he produce evidence, or they'd sue him for defamation.
"I've got solid evidence in my hands, but I don't want the victims to suffer any more harm. The tone of this Weibo post isn't up for discussion; it's an order. If you don't follow my instructions, I'll make sure you regret it. I mean what I say. I won't reveal the evidence, but trust me, I'll dig to the very bottom!"
Soon after, Zhang Menglong posted screenshots of all the law firms under his name on Weibo.
"I have a total of 127 law firms under my name. Sue me if you dare; I'll take on every single case. Let's see if you have the guts to sue me!"
"Holy shit, that's badass! This is what a real man looks like!"
"Boss Zhang, I support you. We definitely need to protect the victims, but you also have to protect yourself. Don't let those bastards find an opportunity."
"127 law firms, damn, the top ten firms in the nation are all yours, who would even bother to sue you!"
"Go ahead and sue me, I've got 127 law firms ready to back me up all the way. This is freaking awesome, just like a hero straight out of a feel-good novel!"
"@HuBraggartStudio, if you think this is defamation, hurry up with a lawyer's warning letter!"
"@HuBraggartStudio, no more talking? Don't tell me you're off preparing your PR countermeasures?"
"@HuBraggart, Fanny speak up, we all know you're not like this."
"Yeah, Fanny, we all support you. Just say the word, and we'll believe you unconditionally!"
...
"Son of a bitch, Zhang Menglong is actually serious!"
Within Hu Bofan's studio, his complexion had turned incredibly somber.
This was practically coercion!
Hu Bofan himself was feeling guilty. If he stayed silent now, it would appear as if he was conceding to these accusations, which meant he might as well wait to face the music.
But if he issued a statement, it would be an all-out war with Zhang Menglong!
"We've got no other choice," Zhou Zong said, "If we don't respond soon, we'll be even more at a disadvantage."
"Then issue it!" Hu Bofan clenched his teeth. It was already a fight to the death.
Official Statement:
Mr. Hu Bofan has been renowned for his integrity and talent since the beginning of his career, and he has absolutely not committed any acts against the law or morality. Regarding Mr. Zhang Menglong's inappropriate accusations, the studio reserves the right to pursue legal responsibilities.
The statement was also accompanied by several photos, such as snapshots of Hu Bofan's gentlemanly gesture and content about his donations, among other things.
This was a message to his fans that he was truly a decent person, incapable of committing such heinous acts.
"Really shameless to the extreme," Zhang Menglong was no exception; people like him had long abandoned any moral standards. Could you really expect them to have a shred of shame?
"If donations are a sign of a pure heart, then haven't I already reached sainthood?" Zhang Menglong quickly posted another Weibo, followed by nine screenshots.

"Boss Zhang is so domineering!"
"This lit a fire in me, smash the reblog button for a beating!"
"Too awesome, damn!"
"What's the point in flaunting your wealth? Have the balls to show some real proof?"
"Zhang Menglong, you scumbag, do you really think you can do whatever you want with money?"
...
"Stupid brain-dead fans!" Zhang Menglong was at a loss for words when he saw the insults. Are these celebrities really like their own fathers that they need such protective fans?
Hachi, the faithful dog, wouldn't watch their shows if it wasn't for these kinds of fans!
