——Are you Pedro Langley’s partner? A question full of provocation, yet not as brainless as it seems. After so many years in the industry, Zero has never exposed their identity. If she responds directly, she will become a "hero" for many gossip-loving netizens, benefiting her with no harm; if she doesn’t respond, it will only lead to a pile of controversy, which doesn’t align with Zero’s usual strong style. Nora Scott clicked on the replies under Luna Durant’s comment. All occupied by her fans, commenting things like "bold," "real character," "face it head-on," which was very annoying to read. "What’s up with you?" Henry Chapman’s voice suddenly pulled Nora Scott’s attention back. His gaze swept across her phone screen, as if seeing the Weibo interface, so he asked: "Getting bashed?" Nora suddenly lifted her eyes, her bright and dark eyes staring at Henry Chapman. Henry Chapman found her stare inexplicable. Suddenly, Nora raised her eyebrows with a smile and asked, "Do you remember your Weibo password?" Henry said, "I can log in with a verification code." Although Henry goes completely off the grid when not filming or promoting, he still has Weibo in such an environment. His Weibo is all work-related, only having some activity when movies are released or TV shows air, averaging just a few moves a year. Even so, Henry’s Weibo has 30 million followers, and, like Zero’s account, the follower count is genuine. Even if it’s just a business Weibo, each of his reposts and comments exceed hundreds of thousands, and likes occasionally reach tens of millions. With such a high flow in the entertainment circle, what does Luna Durant count as? Nora said: "For Rose’s sake, help post a Weibo." Without saying yes or no, Henry Chapman didn’t hesitate and asked directly: "Post what?" Nora smiled, "Fair enough." Henry took out his phone, unlocked it, and threw it to her directly. Weibo, for him, is just a tool for business. He chose acting and stayed with it purely out of love for this industry. Although he also pays attention to feedback on works, he rarely looks at comments on Weibo because there’s too much noise, misleading, comment control, bandwagoning... with no reference value. He prefers reading reviews from professional film critics. So, posting a Weibo is no big deal, Nora can post whatever she likes. — He hasn’t signed a company, has no agent, no one limits his words and actions. Logging into Henry’s Weibo, Nora typed a few words, suddenly noticing the excited Rose, curled her lips into a smile, and asked Henry: "Is it alright to post a picture of Pedro Langley with Rose?" Upon hearing this, Henry didn’t agree as readily, paused, and frowned rather unpleasantly. He said, "Post mine as well." Nora: ??? Are you jealous too? When fans’ apps reminded them "Henry Chapman is online on Weibo," almost everyone was pondering the same question — There’s no news of Henry working recently, so why log into Weibo?! Then, they saw that Henry posted on Weibo. Then, they discovered that the post wasn’t just a business-related Weibo but also included a selfie. At that moment, everyone’s brain went blank. [Henry Chapman V]: I support Mr. Langley. [Image][Image] Two pictures, both of a man holding the same cat. The difference is, the protagonist of the first picture is Henry Chapman, and the protagonist of the second picture is Pedro Langley. [?? What’s going on?] [My husband’s first non-business Weibo, first selfie, is actually to get involved in someone else’s scandal?] [Henry Chapman posting during off-hours for Pedro Langley? What the heck is this century’s biggest surprise!] After a brief confusion, speculation, discussion, and gossip comments erupted, and in no time, the Weibo comments exceeded ten thousand, with shares and likes also soaring. Since Henry’s Weibo doesn’t have fan comment control, gradually, some substantial comments received likes from netizens. [Posting the same comments as Zero, it seems that Actor Chapman and Zero know each other privately? Damn, Actor Chapman is famously reclusive, has few friends; Zero even knows him and can get him to post. Their relationship must be pretty good. Is there anyone in the world Zero doesn’t know?] [Be calm, above. Maybe Henry and Zero are love rivals. Otherwise, why post such a suggestive photo? Although they aren’t in the same frame, taking pictures with the same cat, they must know each other privately. Maybe they’re really close.] [Mr. Langley’s appearance is stunning, standing next to Henry’s picture, it doesn’t lose at all! Mr. Langley, consider debuting at the center?] [I have learned. Any news involving Zero is explosive.] [On the first day of the New Year, could bigwigs let the media have a decent holiday?] Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩 [Zero’s really good at playing it, letting Henry post an identical Weibo, wanting Luna Durant also to ask under Henry’s Weibo "Are you Pedro Langley’s partner"? Who would dare! Isn’t this driving people to a dead end?] [Gosh, have I been following a drama called ’Zero’s Hot Search Stunt’ for the past two months?] [Now, I just want to know who exactly Zero is. Let’s crowdfund and get the bigwigs to unmask Zero!] [Crowdfunding. +10086] [For the new year, the only wish is for Zero to reveal their true identity. I wonder if this dream will ever come true.] [I’m starting to feel more and more that the image behind Zero is completely different from what the netizens imagine. Also, emmm, speaking up now, I really think she’s a woman.] [Shut up, the one above, we can’t have this kind of thought! Is it possible for the uncle we’ve been addressing for seven years to change gender just because of an unclear picture?!] [Fans upstairs who refuse to face reality, wake up! There have been posts on the forum for a long time, like ’Ten Reasons Why Zero is a Woman,’ where some experts have found many flaws, and their credibility is quite high.] Initially, netizens just wanted to casually enjoy gossip about a female celebrity’s relationship, but after Fernwood Entertainment responded, the gossip reached its peak. Nobody expected this kind of gossip to have a twist. First, the top influencer Zero got involved, then Luna Durant launched a direct counterattack, and just when netizens were eagerly anticipating how this would unfold next, an unexpected figure appeared——Henry Chapman! The entertainment industry’s mysterious figure you can only see once a year when he’s active! The man whose every piece of work is a masterpiece, who climbs the altar step by step and never falls off! The genius whom every actor and director who has worked with him invariably praises as "born for acting"! Such a legendary existence, in the five years since opening his Weibo, his only non-promotional post was to support the CEO of Fernwood Entertainment, Pedro Langley? Or rather, to support the topic figure in the manga world, Zero? In short, regardless of whom he was supporting, this Weibo post of his, first, made Luna Durant retreat, and second, successfully shifted the netizens’ attention. ——Most of them are now focused on the baffling question of "Who is Zero in real life?" ——They want to know Zero’s real identity. An unprecedented urgency. After Nora Scott posted the Weibo, she handed the phone back to Henry Chapman and invited him for dinner. Henry Chapman was never shy when it came to friends, especially since Rose was also there, he naturally agreed. However, while dining together, Laura Collins would occasionally stare at him like he was something rare, making him a bit uncomfortable during the meal. After Henry Chapman left, Laura Collins, absent-minded, moved next to Nora Scott and sat down. Laura Collins said, "I’ll be leaving tomorrow." "Is there something urgent?" Nora Scott stuffed a handful of sunflower seeds into Laura Collins’s hand. Shaking her head numbly, Laura Collins said, "I’m afraid of discovering more shocking things here with you." Nora Scott said nothing. Always, Laura Collins thought she had decent mental resilience, but until recently, after repeatedly withdrawing, she suddenly realized——she simply hadn’t experienced enough. What she saw as an ordinary friend, Nora Scott, repeatedly broke through her psychological defenses with explosive events. Until now, she still felt dazed——How is Nora Scott Zero? And how is she so close to Henry Chapman? She clearly realized that with her mental resilience, she could only keep these two secrets, and even one more——she feared she wouldn’t be able to resist leaking them to others. So a timely retreat was wise. "That Weibo post from Henry Chapman, did you make him send it?" After a while, Laura Collins couldn’t help but ask. Nora Scott thought for a bit, then said, "I posted it using his phone." After posting, she logged out of Weibo, and Henry Chapman didn’t have the curiosity to check, probably not even aware of what was posted. "..." Dumbfounded for a moment, Laura Collins asked, "He just gives you his phone, and you post whatever?" Laura Collins petted the cat jumping into her arms. Nora Scott calmly said, "His." Without saying a word, Laura Collins put Rose down, then patted her clothes and stood up. "What’s up?" Nora Scott looked at her in confusion. "I’m going to pack my things now." Marcus Shaw, just coming out of the kitchen, gave Laura Collins a sympathetic glance. The news online continued to ferment for several days. Aside from Luna Durant’s fans, there were few who gossiped about her relationship with Pedro Langley, as the spotlight was undoubtedly seized by "Zero, Pedro Langley, Henry Chapman." As for the three involved, the instigator Zero no longer paid attention to the follow-up, the one who handed over control of public opinion, Pedro Langley, left everything to Nathan Salt, and as for Henry Chapman... was completely unaware, dutifully staying at home accompanying his parents for the New Year. About a week later, Nora Scott received a message from Henry Chapman: I’ll come to the Scott family in the afternoon. Upon seeing the message, Nora Scott, while feeding Rose cat food, gave Ernesto Scott a call. She said, "I’ll come back this afternoon."
