Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 738: Here to Fight!

Feeling that something was amiss, he immediately called Jiang Li.

"Sister Li, don’t you know how to divine? Could you do a reading for me, Sister Yan’s current situation, how is it? That old lady was too fierce, she didn’t seem like any good person at all, what if Sister Yan really had something happen to her?"

"Oh, right." Qi Tianyu continued, "I also called her agency, and her agent said that Shu Yan hasn’t had any bookings for a long time, and she has been taking continuous leaves of absence from the company, couldn’t be..."

"Don’t let your imagination run wild." Jiang Li said and then pinched her fingers to cast a brief divination, "The divination shows that Shu Yan is not in any life-threatening danger right now, you can rest easy, however..."

However, from the time she first met Shu Yan at the Flash Change variety show, she could see that Shu Yan’s family life wasn’t very harmonious, no doubt that was what caused the trouble.

Jiang Li looked outside at the sky and pondered for a moment, "It’s still early, how about I come over and find you?"

"Great, Sister Li, I’ll send you the address, I’ll wait for you here."

Having quickly finished her meal, Jiang Li got in the car and also sent a message to Wen Jiaojiao.

After all, the more people there were, the better in case something really happened, it was good to have another person for support.

Wen Jiaojiao was quick to respond, immediately @ing her in the group chat.

"I’m on my way, Lili, what happened? Did something happen to Shu Yan? I knew it! She hasn’t been right for half a year, completely unlike her usual self!"

Soon, He Yun also replied.

"What happened?"

Qi Tianyu replied to him, "Can’t get in touch with Sister Yan! I even went to her house to find her, and the person who opened the door was a fierce old lady, she wouldn’t even let me in!"

Considering his own past situation, He Yun quickly said, "Either report to the police or bring more people to check it out, there might really be something wrong, just give me a call if you need me."

"Alright, Brother He, we’ll let you know if there’s any update!"

Jiang Li then tried to call Shu Yan.

Sure enough, as Qi Tianyu had said, the calls couldn’t get through.

She simply sent Shu Yan a message—

"Shu Yan, are you free recently? There’s a role available in my movie that really suits you, would you consider taking the part? Call me back if you’re interested."

A few minutes later, Jiang Li sent another message.

"Why aren’t you answering your phone, are you busy?"

Then, she added, "I just contacted your agent, and he can’t reach you either, what’s going on? Are you in trouble?"

After a while, Jiang Li sent the last message.

"Shu Yan, are you there? If you don’t pick up the phone, I’m going to call the police, I’m really worried about you."

As expected, the very next second after sending that message, Shu Yan’s phone call came through.

But it wasn’t her voice, but a man’s, sounding very impatient.

"Don’t bother Shu Yan anymore, she’s not in trouble. She’s ill and resting at home, she doesn’t have any plans of acting recently. Find someone else for your movie, stop contacting her."

Jiang Li frowned, "Where is Shu Yan? Who are you?"

"I’m Shu Yan’s husband," the man on the other end said coldly, "Didn’t I tell you? Shu Yan is sick and sleeping!"

But Jiang Li was persistent, "Then please wake her up for me right now, I have very important business with her, and this is work that can’t be delayed."

The man let out a cold laugh, "It’s because of people like you that Shu Yan has become like this. Rest assured, I won’t let you swindle a single penny from her, you don’t have to think about calling the police. Shu Yan is fine, the police were here yesterday, and they won’t come again. Don’t worry!"

After saying that, the man aggressively hung up the phone. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Jiang Li’s face darkened.

Indeed, something had gone wrong. She knew her worries weren’t unfounded.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Li immediately ordered Ji Yanbai to step on the gas. It didn’t take long before they reached Shu Yan’s neighborhood.

Qi Tianyu had been waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood and hurried towards her car when he saw it.

"Sister Li, you’re finally here. How did it go? Did you get in touch with Sister Yan?"

"I did," said Jiang Li, "but it was her husband who answered the phone, and he didn’t sound too good."

"Ah? What should we do then? Could something really have happened?"

Just as Jiang Li was about to speak, another car came over and honked crazily at them.

The car stopped not far from them, the window rolled down, and Wen Jiaojiao’s delicate little face was revealed.

"Lili, Tianyu, I’m here! I’ve come to lend you a hand!" she announced.

With a "bang", she pushed open the car door, stepped out in high heels, and the very next second, she clapped her hands.

At once, the back door of the vehicle opened, and five burly men in suits jumped out, each holding a weapon of some sort, which gave Qi a fright.

"Holy shit, Sister Jiaojiao, what are you doing?"

Wen Jiaojiao took off her sunglasses. "Didn’t you say Shu Yan was in trouble and needed my help? How could I rescue her without bringing people? Don’t worry, these men are my personal bodyguards; they’ve been with me for many years. Some of them are even Sanda champions. Even if there were ten opponents, it wouldn’t be a problem!"

Jiang Li and Qi Tianyu: "..."

Had Sister Jiaojiao mistaken this for a fight?

"It’s okay," Jiang Li waved her hand dismissively. "It’s better to have more people to handle things. Let’s go up and see what the situation is. Qi, lead the way."

"Alright."

Qi Tianyu responded and quickly led the way to a building.

Pointing upward, he said, "Shu Yan’s house is on the fifth floor."

Jiang Li looked back at the large group of people, then turned to Wen Jiaojiao.

"Have them wait down here. We’ll go up first. It would be better not to scare anyone."

"Sure," agreed Wen Jiaojiao as she stepped forward to follow.

The four of them took the elevator up to the fifth floor.

Once there, Jiang Li pressed the doorbell to Shu Yan’s house.

Soon after, the door was opened, and true to Qi’s words, it was an old lady with a cautious and dissatisfied glare.

Her expression sagged immediately when her gaze landed on Qi Tianyu.

"How come it’s you again? Here to harass my daughter-in-law? Why can’t a young man like you do something decent for once?!"

Before Qi could retort, Jiang Li pulled him behind her.

She stepped forward with a slight smile, "My brother doesn’t know any better and has caused you trouble. The thing is, I’m a friend of Shu Yan’s, and there is a work matter I’d like to discuss with her."

The old woman frowned, "She’s not feeling well; let’s talk another day."

As she said this, she tried to close the door.

Jiang Li immediately placed her hand on the door, gently pushing against it to keep it open, and said with a look of concern, "Shu Yan is sick? Then we should go in and see her. Or perhaps we should send her to the hospital right away? It’s not good for her to stay at home when ill. If it’s inconvenient, I can call an ambulance for you."
