Chapter 132


    Xia Peifeng followed up after charging Chu Ling with giarism.


    Firstly, he posted his copyright certificate on social media.


    They were registered in his hometown. Since he was from a small town, Hu Lai was unable to find


    them when she first verified whether the songs were original. Hence, Hu Lai and Chu Ling felt it was


    safe to use those songs.


    Secondly, Xia Peifeng posted videos of him humming these songs on his secondary social media


    ount.


    After he wrote the pieces, he did not release them right away in an album, but he wanted to share


    them with the public, so he hummed them on his secondary social media ount without showing


    his face.


    Since very few people knew about his secondary ount, the videos did not get a lot of attention


    and only a minority of people had heard it.

    Everyone could see that the videos were posted way before "Ultimate Singer-Songwriter" was even


    aired.


    Now that Xia Peifeng had proven ownership of the songs, Hu Lai quietly deactivated thement


    function on Chu Ling''s social media ount. She also removed all the links for his album. All the


    preorders for "Sing" were canceled.


    Deng Yufei was badly affected by this incident. After painstakingly umting some poprity,


    everything was gone. However, it could notpare to the damage dealt on Chu Ling.


    Chu Ling had be a superstar owing to his good looks and had ess to great resources. He


    had countless fans to begin with, so even after losing a lot of fans from the giarism incident, he


    continued to have a massive following of diehard fans. All he needed was good opportunities to stay


    at the top, but he lost everything overnight.


    They were hardly interested in learning the truth from Deng Yufei. Instead, they had to focus on


    maintaining his good image.


    The talent agency was unable to convince Xia Peifeng to change his mind about thewsuit.


    Chu Ling had no choice but to apologize publicly on social media: [I am sorry for disappointing you.


    I desperately wanted to produce good songs, but I was too busy, so I used five of Little Raindrop''s


    pieces. I even made arrangements for four of those songs to be redited with my name. I should


    not have taken a shortcut and abused your support and trust by iming her work for my own. This


    is the first time I have done this, and I will make sure this is thest. I sincerely hope you can forgive


    me.]


    [From now on, I will cease to appear on any programs, including "Ultimate Singer-Songwriter". I will


    go back and work hard on being a singer-songwriter and hone my skills so as not to disappoint you


    in the future.]


    Chu Ling''s post was worded evasively and did not directly apologize to Xia Peifeng at all. He even


    pushed the me to Deng Yufei and imed it was his first time doing this.


    The moment he posted this so-called apology, his fans softened up on him. Despite his mistakes,


    he continued to have a massive following.


    It was so important to have good looks in the entertainment industry. His fans naturally kept


    shouting in support.


    [Chu Ling, don''t be sad!]


    [Everyone makes mistakes! Chu Ling, don''t be hard on yourself!]


    [No one is perfect. Chu Ling, you don''t have to feel so guilty about it.]


    [It is never toote to change your ways!]


    [No way. I am sure Chu Ling has done nothing wrong. The talent agency must have done this to


    him! It should be held ountable!]


    [I think so too. The talent agency must have done this to Chu Ling! How could he have done it if the


    company did not force him?]
