Here's the requested translation:
Before contacting Chu Xi, Shen Yi decided to first reveal the truth and completely crush Qingyue.
He didn't discuss this matter with the company or his manager; it was entirely his personal decision.
By the time Shen Yi's livestream surged to the top of the trending charts, the manager wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
While Qingyue was still ranting crazily during his livestream, Shen Yi quietly started his own stream.
There was no promotion or hype—just a simple title: #ClarificationStatement#.
Shen Yi's status as a top celebrity guaranteed traffic. Not long after the stream began, a large number of viewers flooded into his livestream room, even fans from Qingyue's stream came over to join the chaos.
[The entertainment circle really seems to be into livestreaming lately. No one's posting on Weibo anymore; whenever there's drama, everyone starts a stream.]
