Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 726: She Has Already Tried to Keep a Low Profile

Chapter 726: Chapter 726: She Has Already Tried to Keep a Low Profile

Su Yinwan was using the money she had recently acquired to boost these search terms ceaselessly.

Soon, the conspiracy theories about Jiang Li and Jiang Yan topped the trending searches.

There were even compilations of similar scandals throughout the years comparing family feuds that garnered over ten million views.

As hot gossip was about to break, Jiang Yan, who was still at Shuiyun Mountain, had frantically started bombarding Jiang Li with calls.

"Hello... didn’t you say you had a way to handle this? I’m about to be portrayed as an underworld boss who kills people behind their backs. If you don’t clarify this soon, our reputations will stink for millennia!"

Jiang Li frowned, "Your signal is bad; I can’t hear clearly."

"I’m saying..."

Jiang Li pinched the phone, got up from the chair, and calmly stated, "Panicking is useless, I am waiting for a result. Once I have it in hand, this matter will naturally be resolved."

Before her words could even settle, there was a knock on her door, and her aunt’s voice came through.

"Miss, someone is looking for you downstairs."

A trace of a smile played at the corners of Jiang Li’s eyes.

"I’m coming."

She hung up the phone, threw on a coat, and went downstairs.

Seeing her step out of the elevator, Yu Li stood up from where he sat in the living room.

He was immediately struck by her breathtaking appearance.

He knew Jiang Li was beautiful; even on Dragon Ridge Island where others were disheveled, she still shone radiantly.

Now, back at home and dressed in neat, fitted clothes, she inadvertently caught his eye.

She wore only a white silk dressing gown with a lazy champagne-colored embroidered shawl draped over her shoulders. Her hair was casually pinned up with a wooden pin, subtly revealing her snowy neck. Even the simple silk slippers she wore seemed to flutter with the grace of floating lotuses.

Without any jewelry, she still looked elegantly resplendent—a beauty that transcended worldly views.

Jiang Li nodded slightly towards him, then told the servant to prepare tea, before settling herself on the sofa.

"Dean Yu, what brings you here in person?"

Regaining his composure, Yu Li placed a folder on the table.

"Considering Miss Jiang urgently needed it, and it seemed important, I personally delivered it."

Jiang Li flipped through the folder and smiled with satisfaction.

"As expected of Dean Yu, results produced in less than a day."

Yu Li smiled sheepishly, "The dean doing the experiment owed me a favor, just right to use it here, so I don’t owe Miss Jiang a favor anymore."

Jiang Li nodded, "Dean Yu knows how to conduct business with favors."

Yu Li coughed slightly, "Please don’t make fun of me, Miss Jiang. I have another matter to discuss."

Jiang Li closed the folder.

"How is she?"

"Much better, though not fully cured, her emotional state is mostly stable, with at least two clear hours each day."

"That’s enough," said Jiang Li, "Thank you, Dean Yu."

Yu Li hesitated.

"Miss Jiang, if there’s anything else you need my help with, please feel free to ask."

Jiang Li smiled, "You’ve already helped me enough. We can only pursue this matter so far without causing real trouble; I don’t want to drag your family into this."

Yu Li looked startled, "This matter is big enough to upset even our family?"

Jiang Li pondered, "Perhaps not necessarily."

Yu Li vaguely guessed something but didn’t pry further and after a few sips of tea, he got up to leave.

"There’s something at the school I need to attend to, I’ll leave now; no need to see me out."

Still, Jiang Li escorted him to the front door of the living room.

As Yu Li took a few steps out, he turned back, his lips curving into an enigmatic smile.

"How have you and Gu Yu been lately?"

Jiang Li was startled, "What?"

"It seems Old Sir Gu quite likes you."

"Ah?"

"But with that being said, someone really might hate you now," Yu Li said with an implied meaning, "You should be more careful these days."

After seeing Yu Li off, Jiang Li felt that something was amiss. After some thought, she took out her phone.

Her name had already accumulated a page of negative posts on the trending searches, terrifyingly numerous.

The comments and private messages were full of foul language.

With such massive attention, it couldn’t be the work of just one person.

Sigh, the bigger the tree, the more wind it catches.

She had tried her best to keep a low profile, yet she was still always targeted.

Jiang Li closed Weibo and then made a call to Shen Lan.

"Second Aunt, the results are out, let Star Media’s PR prepare."

At noon, Jiang Li’s long-silent Weibo finally stirred again.

A simple picture alone instantly ignited public opinion.

"What the hell does this picture Jiang Li posted mean?"

"What does it mean? Isn’t it obvious?"

"Holy crap, is there a twist?"

"I’m stumped, it’s not fake, right?"

"It’s stamped by the hospital below; how could it be fake? Some people really don’t use their brains when they gossip."

After having lunch, Su Yinwan was ready to revel in her achievements, but she saw a term dominating the top trending spot—

#JiangChengIsNotIllegitimate#

She almost thought she was seeing things and quickly clicked on it.

The top post was a Weibo post by Jiang Li, featuring just one picture.

It was a DNA test result.

It showed no blood relation.

The name at the top of the form was clearly Jiang Cheng’s.

How could this be?

How could Jiang Cheng possibly have no blood relation to the Jiang Family?!

She scoffed and switched to her burner account to start leading the narrative in the comments section.

— "Jiang Li’s father has been dead for a while, right? Where did the DNA come from? Did Jiang Li excavate her dad?"

A second later, she received 99+ responses.

"Idiot, right? Can’t you see? It clearly states Jiang Zhao Yuan’s name; that’s Jiang Li’s biological grandfather!"

"Some people just want to smear others without checking facts."

"Girl, did you even go to school? Can you read? Need me to teach you?"

"Your dad’s going to climb out from his grave from anger, no manners at all."

A flood of foul language made Su Yinwan tremble with rage, prompting her to throw her phone away.

Once she calmed down, she realized a shocking issue.

Jiang Cheng was not Jiang Minghai’s illegitimate child?!

Then whose child was he?!

Unwilling to leave it at that, Su Yinwan immediately asked the system, but the answer was still formal.

"All plot data has been uploaded completely; further details are beyond your access."

Su Yinwan was so furious that she paced around her room several times but couldn’t figure it out.

But then she seemed to remember something, squinting as she picked up her phone again.

Now, if she wanted to clear up Jiang Cheng’s real identity, there was perhaps only one way left.

It took her several minutes to dig through her contacts until she found the number she was looking for and made the call.

"Dean, it’s Xiao Wan, do you still remember me......."
