Chapter 514: Viciously Expose Her

Feng Kun felt that he was innocent.

He handled the delicate situation well and let go of Xia Ling. Boss gave him a sullen look as he put his arm around Xia Ling and took her away from his arms.

“Pay attention to your actions!” He glared at her.

Xia Ling felt a little wronged. “We haven’t seen each other in a long time.”

“Are you like this to all people you haven’t seen in a long time?!” Was this girl aware of the differences between men and women?

“He’s not the same. He is…” Xia Ling wanted to continue, but Boss Li’s killer glare caused her voice to falter. In the end, she admitted her mistake with some grievances. “I won’t hug him anymore…”

“You aren’t allowed to hug anyone but me!” Big Boss’ face was still sullen.

“Ok…” Xia Ling decided that discretion was the better part of valor. She would not hug him anymore then. “In this case, you aren’t allowed to hug other girls.”

“When have I hugged other girls?!” Boss Big rebuked.

Xia Ling smiled. This time, she went back into Big Boss’ arms. “I know that you’re the best.”

Feng Kun couldn’t bear to look at them. Haven’t they heard that a passionate love affair ends quickly? Could the two of them not make him feel so uncomfortable?

Big Boss acted as a protector and hugged his girlfriend. He looked at Feng Kun with unfriendly glances.

Feng Kun sighed and said, “She’s so silly. I won’t steal her from you.”

Li Lei didn’t know how to respond.

Xia Ling asked, “Feng Kun, did you come alone? Have you been well recently?”

I was pretty good until your boyfriend glared at me. Feng Kun secretly ranted in his heart. On the surface, he warmly said, “Not bad. Imperial’s luck changed and went back to normal. I’m also about to prepare for the production of new singles. Oh yes, Li Lei.” He turned around. “Thank you for showing mercy.”

It was no secret in the business world that Li Lei retreated just as he was about to defeat Imperial Entertainment.

Everyone knew that he spared Imperial and that was honestly more humiliating than Imperial almost going bankrupt. However, Pei Ziheng had no choice but to endure this humiliation. He was the frontman of his entire family and could not let a vigorous battle end everything he had. The only thing he could do was to bow his head and bear the burden of embarrassment as he revived Imperial Entertainment step by step.

Fortunately, although it was hurt, it recovered quickly.

The impact on Feng Kun was basically negligible.

After hearing what he said, Li Lei did not feel proud. “I shouldn’t take the credit for it. It’s thanks to someone else’s help.”

Feng Kun was curious, but it was not convenient for him to ask, so he let the topic pass. However, he understood something in his heart. No wonder Skyart could crush such a powerful entity like Imperial Entertainment. Sure enough, they had help from others.

What was unexpected was that Li Lei didn’t claim credit.

A man like him who was able to put his pride aside and was self-aware probably had a good mentality.

Feng Kun was relieved that Xiao Ling was with him. Xiao Ling was innocent and arrogant. If she weren’t with someone gentle and powerful, she would encounter the same tragedy from her past life.

Now, it looked like Li Lei was a good match for her.

Feng Kun looked at Li Lei more affably. “Treat Xiao Ling well.”

“Of course, I will.” Li Lei said and hugged the person in his arms tighter.

Not far away, a burst of cheers came from the crowd below the stage mixed with the emcee’s surprised voice. “A four-win streak! Xia Yu currently has a four-win streak! Are there any more challenges? Who else?!”

Many passers-by were attracted and stopped to look at the stage.

Xia Ling finally remembered the reason why she looked for Feng Kun. She asked him, “How did Xia Yu become so impressive? Her voice can’t withstand such a high intensity of singing. Can she continue to win?”

Feng Kun obviously had already figured it out. He took out a portable headset and handed it to Xia Ling. “Listen.”

Xia Ling took it.

In the earpiece, she heard a sweet melody. It was “Withered Lotus in the Rain” that Xia Yu sang.

[The cruel early summer of that year. A silent sorrow…

The fireflies of that year reflected a pretty picture of you…]

“Isn’t that the song she sang today? Why are you letting me hear this?” Just as she said that, she suddenly understood everything. Her expression changed as she asked Feng Kun, “This isn’t live?”

“This is the official recorded version.” Feng Kun said.

Xia Ling hastily played the third song she recorded of Xia Yu singing today and compared it with the official recorded version. After she listened closely, she was visibly upset.

“They’re exactly the same…” She said. “Xia Yu’s recorded version is the same as the live version!”

“Singing every song the same way.” Feng Kun asked, “Xiao Ling, if it were you, would you able to do it?”

Xia Ling shook her head. “How’s that possible? Not only is the difference between the stage and the recording studio big, even if it were recorded in the studio, the previous and subsequent recordings would be different because of emotions and other vocal technicalities! More or less, there would be subtle differences. People are not machines. How could they do the exact same thing twice? Not to mention the same song!”

“It seems you understand.”

Yes, Xia Ling understood. No wonder Xia Yu sang so perfectly during her live performance. It turned out that she was not even singing live! Xia Yu was directly playing her recorded version on stage! She was blatantly lip-syncing!

This way, the problems with her posture, voice, and physical strength could be perfectly explained.

No wonder Xia Yu dared to go on stage first. That was because she didn’t even need to put in any effort! She only had to move her lips!

“I want to expose her!” Xia Ling said.

“How are you going to expose her? Tell her directly that she’s lip-syncing?” Her beloved Li Lei’s IQ drastically fell. Just now, when Xia Ling and Feng Kun discussed music, he couldn’t interrupt and wanted to express himself very badly. “I can look for someone to help you.”

“That’s too simple and crude!” Xia Ling said. “Be good and don’t mess things up.”

She also said, “Of course, it’s necessary to viciously expose her.” The reason why she joined the music festival was to relentlessly go against Xia Yu. Furthermore, such a good opportunity fell into her lap. “However, if we are to expose her, it needs to be believable. We can’t give her any chance to cover it up.”

Feng Kun firmly agreed.

At the side, Li Lei looked at him deeply. “This will really hurt Imperial’s reputation. Pei Ziheng just regained some stability after having a hard time. Feng Kun, you’re also part of Imperial Entertainment. How can you just help Xiao Ling like that?”

“As a producer, I must have professional ethics.” Feng Kun said faintly. “Regardless of how good or bad someone’s singing is, they’re normal. But lip-syncing…” He paused and looked Li Lei in the eye. “has crossed my bottom line. Every musician has the responsibility to maintain the right ethics in the music industry.”
