"Assistant, go get me a basin of water and bring me my facial cleanser!"

Upon hearing Orange Bear's command, the assistant immediately dashed off the stage, returning with a basin of water and the facial cleanser. In front of everyone, Orange Bear began to wash her face.

She washed her face with the utmost diligence, not missing a single spot. After nearly five or six minutes, she finally dried her face and stopped.

When the crowd saw Orange Bear's appearance after she had washed her face, their mouths dropped open in surprise, and a buzz of discussion swept through the venue.

"No way, Orange Bear's looks are actually real! She really isn't wearing any makeup!"

"Yeah, yeah! It looks like those photos from yesterday must have been fake!"

Hearing the crowd's chatter, Orange Bear let out a long sigh of relief. She had thought this commotion would finally come to an end. However, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted out.

"Orange Bear, do you take us all for fools?!"

"You really think we don't know that some cosmetics are specially formulated to be waterproof?!"

"You waited three days before holding the fan meeting, probably to get some custom waterproof makeup, right?"

"If you're so confident, use makeup remover!"

"As far as I know, no makeup can withstand makeup remover!"

Hearing this, Orange Bear kept smiling, showing no sign of panic. She responded loudly, "This friend is right! Specially formulated cosmetics can indeed be waterproof!"

"However, the reason I waited three days to hold the fan meeting has nothing to do with custom cosmetics. I'm a girl; my nerves aren't as steady as some of you might think. It took me three days to calm down. If I had held the fan meeting on the second day, your insults might have made me cry on the spot!"

Hearing Orange Bear's explanation, the audience didn't say anything more. Indeed, she had a point. It was understandable that someone would need time to compose themselves after being cyberbullied.

Looking at the silent crowd, Orange Bear continued, "If there are still doubters, then I'll use makeup remover! I'm sure some of you here still doubt me, and those who do probably brought their own makeup remover! I won't use my own, so you can't accuse me of using a fake product. I'll use one of yours!"

"So, would anyone be willing to offer me a bottle of makeup remover?"

As soon as she finished speaking, 80% of the people present raised their hands, shouting that they had makeup remover.

Orange Bear scanned the crowd, pondered for a moment, and finally took a bottle of makeup remover from a man who was there with his girlfriend.

Watching from behind the stage, Liu Ergou nodded to himself. He had to admit, Orange Bear was clever. No one would question makeup remover taken from someone like that. With that thought, he continued to watch.

But just then, his eyes caught someone in the audience staring intently at Orange Bear, their gaze filled with malice. This made Liu Ergou instantly alert, but he didn't make any sudden moves to tip his hand, instead keeping the person in his peripheral vision. He knew today's fan meeting wouldn't go smoothly.

Meanwhile, on stage, Orange Bear had already started removing her makeup. After a thorough cleansing, her face looked practically unchanged, no different from before.

Seeing this, the audience once again fell into a stunned silence. They no longer dared to doubt Orange Bear. She had used makeup remover; what more could they ask for? Besides, the remover had been randomly selected from the audience, making it impossible to fake.

Seeing the crowd's silence, Orange Bear knew the fan meeting had been a success. The slander against her had finally been washed away.

Just as Orange Bear was about to say a few words to wrap things up, a discordant voice suddenly rose from the crowd.

"Orange Bear, I think that makeup remover you used is fake!"

Hearing this, Orange Bear frowned. "What do you mean by that? I picked the makeup remover randomly from the audience! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't cheat!"

Before she could finish, the voice rang out again.

"You're right, but what if that person was a shill you planted in advance?"

At these words, the crowd, which had already been convinced, suddenly grew animated again. The person pressed their advantage, "In that case, use my makeup remover! I prepared this especially for you. If you use it and there's still no issue, then I'll believe you!"

As soon as the person finished speaking, a bottle of makeup remover was passed through the crowd to Orange Bear. She looked at the unmarked bottle in front of her and couldn't help but wrinkle her brow. Nevertheless, to prove herself, she picked up the bottle, ready to use it.

However, at that very moment, Liu Ergou, who had been watching from the wings, suddenly rushed onto the stage and snatched the bottle from her hand. He then spun around and shouted toward the entrance.

"Security, lock the main doors! No one leaves from now on, do you hear me?!"

This sudden turn of events left Orange Bear and everyone else present too stunned to react. They didn't understand what was going on. After a brief pause, Orange Bear came to her senses. She quickly grabbed Liu Ergou and whispered urgently, "Er Gou, what are you doing?! Locking everyone in is illegal! Don't do anything rash!"

But Liu Ergou completely ignored her. In fact, no one was closing the doors. Instead, his eyes were locked on one person moving against the crowd toward the exit. It was the same person with the malicious gaze from before. In less than a minute, they had almost reached the doorway.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou knew he couldn't hesitate any longer. He took a deep breath and launched himself in the man's direction.

The next second, Liu Ergou leaped into the air, ran across the shoulders of the people in the crowd, and arrived at the doorway in a flash. At the same time, the person moving against the crowd reached the door and ran right into him.

Liu Ergou immediately reached out and pinned the man to the ground. Then, he shouted to the bewildered crowd, "Call the police!"

However, the crowd paid no attention to Liu Ergou. Instead, many began questioning him.
