Birth of Top-Tier Superstars 9

She was only wearing a T-shirt, so when the toy snake slithered inside, it pressed right against her bare skin... wriggling around, cold and clammy, and making that creepy 'hiss hiss' sound.

Yanni Yan froze for a split second, then let out a blood-curdling scream. Her mind went blank—she yanked up her shirt and frantically tried to grab the snake.

But that slippery little toy snake was impossible to catch—after several desperate grabs, she still missed it and somehow popped open the clasp on her bra.

Her bra was one of those with a front clasp.

The moment the clasp popped open, she was seriously exposed.

And the snake was still wriggling on her—she screamed and jumped, face pale, nearly fainting from shock.

Samson Zhang and Eric Lan rushed to her side at the same time.

Samson Zhang snatched the toy snake off her, turned away, and said, "It's fake! Just a fake snake!"

Eric Lan turned his back to Yanni Yan, blocking Ryan Tian and Jason Zhong's view, his eyes blazing with anger: "Even jokes need limits!"

Ryan Tian raised his brow, smirking: "Yanni isn't complaining. Why are you so worked up? What's your relationship with her?"

"Shut up!" Eric Lan snapped. He was about to go in and record the show—he had zero interest in wasting words on these idiots.

"Pfft! You think I'll shut up just because you say so? Wow, your ego's huge!" Ryan Tian sneered, rolling his eyes.

Samson Zhang stepped up beside Eric Lan, voice cold: "If you want trouble, bring it to us. Bullying a girl doesn't make you tough."

Ryan Tian grinned wickedly. "Yeah, I bullied her! I even saw her boobs just now—so what? If you two get to play with her, why can't we?"

Eric Lan glanced back at Yanni Yan—she was biting her lip, eyes red, face burning with humiliation.

"What the hell is wrong with you!" Eric Lan exploded. "Apologize to Yanni, now!"

Ryan Tian raised an eyebrow. "Just because you're one of Dragon City's Big Four Heirs, you think I care? We're ranked twelfth on the artist chart this month—where are you, Eric Lan? Hm?"

Eric Lan shot back, "You're nothing but trash! You think you can compare to me? Pathetic loser!"

...

And then came the footage that went viral all over the internet.

Security guards rushed in at the noise and pulled them apart.

Without asking who started it, the show immediately kicked Samson Zhang and Eric Lan out...

...

After the video dropped, their Weibo blew up with ten thousand comments of "WTF!"

Then Lily Bai had River Li post an official statement.

Statement: Our artists Eric Lan and Samson Zhang were expelled from the variety show without any investigation after the incident.

Then Fane Entertainment uploaded a video clip, deliberately twisting the truth and causing the whole internet to turn on them, inflicting serious harm.

Luckily, there are still good people out there.

Some staff just couldn't stand the injustice and gave us the full, unedited video.

Now, we're restoring the whole truth for everyone to see.

In the end, justice is for everyone to judge.

...

At first, people were just stunned by the huge plot twist.

Some started apologizing under Eric Lan's and Samson Zhang's Weibo accounts.

Others rushed to Ryan Tian and Jason Zhong's pages to curse them out.

But the Fane family basically runs the whole entertainment world with an iron fist.
